| Orosirian 1800 - 2050 Ma ID: 2790881 | Athelstane Quartz Monzonite Age: Orosirian (1800 - 2050 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Athelstane Quartz Monzonite Description: Pink, coarse-grained granite to granodiorite containing nearly equal amounts of microcline microperthite, plagioclase, and quartz and 5-10 percent biotite and (or) hornblende. Mafic minerals are interstitial and give a clotty appearance. (1836 +/- 15 Ma) Comments: Pembine-Wausau terrane. This unit mostly occurs in Wisconsin but also occurs as a thin sliver in nortwestern Michigan.
