Busted Butte, Nye County, Nevada.

Gazetteer Query: G.N.I.S.
	Small butte at the southeast end of Yucca Mountain on the Nevada Test Site. Study of Busted Butte and the Bandelier Tuff shows that the degree of welding and postdepositional crystallization determine whether a given ash-dominated ignimbrite unit deforms by formation of fractures or deformation bands (Wilson et al., 2003). Literature Referring To This Location: Wilson, Jennifer E., Laurel B. Goodwin, and Claudia J. Lewis. 2003. Deformation bands in nonwelded ignimbrites: Petrophysical controls on fault-zone deformation and evidence of preferential fluid flow. Geology. 31(10):837-840. {TAS-pdf}
