Upper pumice conglomerate
An increase in volcanic activity followed the final lake shale deposition and streams flowing from the west washed large amounts of pumice pebbles into the basin. Sanidine samples taken from various parts of the Florissant Formation (including the ash and pumice intervals in the shales) have been dated to around 34.07 million years ago.
