Text Description:	Wrangell Lava. Tanada volcano. Shield lavas. Chiefly dark-gray to medium-gray, thin to medium (2-10 m) flows of sparsely porphyritic andesite and basaltic andesite and minor intercalated laharic and pyroclastic deposits. Flows contain phenocrysts of plagioclase (1-2%, 1-5 mm), augite (0-1%, 1-2 mm), and traces of hypersthene, olivine, and opaque minerals in a microfelty to pilotaxitic groundmass. * * * In the adjacent Nabesna B-5 quadrangle (Lowe and others, 1982) the andesite and basaltic andesite flows of their unit QTaf are mostly equivalent to Tanada shield lavas.
