Red Cones, Madera County, California.

Gazetteer Query: G.N.I.S.
	Red Cones are a pair of basaltic cinder cones located 5 km SSW of Mammoth Mountain at the southern end of the Mono- Inyo volcanic chain, in eastern California. Charcoal recovered at two separate locations beneath the Red Cones scoria-fall deposits indicates that the eruption most likely occurred shortly after 8490 ą 90 14C yr B.P. and no later than 9325 ą 83 14C yr B.P., which implicates Red Cones as the most recent eruption of basalt in the Mono-Inyo volcanic chain (Browne, et al., 2010) Elevation: 2831m.
