Boars Tusk
Boars Tusk is an isolated butte within the Rock Springs Uplift in the Green River Basin of southwestern Wyoming. The butte has a peak elevation of and rises some above the surrounding Killpecker Creek plain and lies north of Rock Springs. The north end of White Mountain lies to the west.〔''Rock Springs, Wyoming,'' 30x60 Minute Topographic Quadrangle, USGS, 1981〕〔''Boars Tusk, Wyoming,'' 15 Minute Topographic Quadrangle, USGS, 1958〕 Boars Tusk is an isolated remnant of a long extinct volcano associated with the Leucite Hills to the east. Heavily eroded, all that remains of the volcano is part of the erosion resistant volcanic neck which is composed of the uncommon volcanic rock lamproite.〔(Mindat locality )〕 Rock samples from Boars Tusk provided an age of 2.5 MA.〔R.
