# Pipkin / Malpais Crater

- **Type:** Cinder Cone
- **Volcanic Arc:** Lavic Lake volcanic field
- **Last Eruption:** c. 600,000 years BP
- **Label Position:** right

The volcano lies in the Rodman Mountains. The high and wide Pipkin cinder cone probably erupted the lava flows which extend to its north and form a lava flow field which has the appearance of a mesa. The cone itself consists of lava bombs and scoria with red and black colours. Lava flows from the vent propagated through Kane Wash and into the Mojave River valley; it is possible that the lava diverted part of the wash into neighbouring Sheep Springs Wash.
