The lower is the Chino Limestone and the upper is the Sky Blue Limestone. They are separated by gneissic hornfelses, quartz-mica schists and diorite. The beds were metamorphosed and recrystallized into marble during the early Triassic. Several later magmatic intrusions produced a complex suite of contact metamorphic minerals.
The first intrusion was of quartz diorite that penetrated the Chino Limestone. The second intrusion was of a quartz monzonite porphyry that was responsible for the classic contact metamorphism and skarn mineralogy. This latter intrusion was comprised of two pipe-like structures, ranging from 200 to 300 feet diameter. The first pipe intruded the quartz diorite and the Sky Blue Limestone. The second pipe pushed up through the metasedimentary rocks and terminated in the Sky Blue Limestone (Forrester, 2004). Numerous large and small pegmatite dikes cut the quartz monzonite porphyry and extend into the adjacent rocks, especially into the great masses of garnet-rich contact rocks which have developed from the original limestone (Woodford et al., 1941). The end result was a high-temperature, low-pressure contact aureole with marbles, skarn and pegmatites.
