Pg. 1289, pl. 1. Aeolian Buttes glacial stage; Aeolian Buttes till. At least four ice advances occurred in Pleistocene; earliest stage, here named Aeolian Buttes, was followed by the Sherwin, Tahoe, and Tioga previously named by Blackwelder. Till may be equivalent in age to McGee stage, but Aeolian Buttes can be dated with respect to local volcanic and glacial succession and McGee at its type locality 25 miles southeast cannot; therefore new name is proposed. Rhyolitic ash and pumice, now Bishop welded tuff, were erupted in interval between Aeolian Buttes and Sherwin stages. Aeolian Buttes till rests on an abraded surface of quartz monzonite. Age is Pleistocene.
Till crops out on crest of Aeolian Buttes, a low craggy ridge between U.S. Highway 395 and Mono Craters, June Lake district, [approx. Lat. 37 deg. 51 min. 33 sec. N., Long. 119 deg. 04 min. 36 sec. W., June Lake 7.5-min quadrangle, Mono Co., Inyo National Forest, eastern central CA]; also exposed in Mono Craters tunnel.

Pg. 235. †Aeolian Buttes glacial stage; †Aeolian Buttes till. Sherwin till is pre- rather than post-Bishop tuff. Name Aeolian Buttes considered invalid as representing an earlier Pleistocene, pre-Sherwin glacial till. If name is retained at all, it should be regarded as having significance only in Mono basin as probable equivalent of more widely recognized Sherwin glacial stage.
