EstablishedNamed as an example of a large igneous province; nothing further is sourced.
The Columbia River province is named by the USGS magmatic nickel model as a continental flood basalt among its examples of large igneous provinces. Lithoen has retrieved nothing further about it: no extent, no dates, no volume, and no account of its origin.
- precision note: A record that exists to hold a name in its correct class. It carries no geometry and no history, because Lithoen has read no source that supplies either.
