Regional Geology
This geological map and associated information on rock units at or nearby to the coordinates given for this locality is based on relatively small scale geological maps provided by various national Geological Surveys. This does not necessarily represent the complete geology at this locality but it gives a background for the region in which it is found.

Quaternary 0 - 2.588 Ma ID: 2972639 | Colluvium Age: Pleistocene (0 - 2.588 Ma) Description: Clay to boulder-size clasts forming rubble residuum and talus. Thickness up to 30 ft (9m). Lithology: Major:{coarse alluvium,fine alluvium} Reference: Horton, J.D., C.A. San Juan, and D.B. Stoeser.

Paleoproterozoic 1600 - 2500 Ma ID: 3191697 | Paleoproterozoic crystalline metamorphic rocks Age: Proterozoic (1600 - 2500 Ma) Lithology: Paragneiss Reference: Chorlton, L.B. Generalized geology of the world: bedrock domains and major faults in GIS format: a small-scale world geology map with an extended geological attribute database. doi: 10.4095/223767.

Paleoproterozoic 1600 - 2500 Ma ID: 2471399 | Metamorphosed younger alkalic basalt, tuff, and volcaniclastic rocks Age: Proterozoic (1600 - 2500 Ma) Description: Pillowed chloritic greenstone or amphibolite, and layered amphibole schist and amphibole-bearing or biotite-rich schist. Thin interflow deposits include various dark-gray and black schists, typically containing some sulfide minerals or carbon-rich strata, and lenses of massive metachert and banded siderite-metachert or cummingtonite-rich beds. In Lead area this unit is part of the Flag Rock Group (Hosted and Wright, 1923) and in Rochford area it is equivalent to the Rapid Creek Greenstone of the Flag Rock Group (Bayley, 1972b). In Mount Rushmore quadrangle, unit represents two apparent separate volcanic centers largely within unit Xqc. Correlated with the Crow Formation west of Custer (Redden, 1963), which has flows and agglomerate having generally similar trace-element abundances and is locally enriched in niobium and cesium, suggestive of alkalic volcanism. In Rochford area, unit intertongues with tuffaceous shale, tuff, and volcaniclastic rocks (unit Xtv) that have U-Pb zircon age of 1,884 Β± 29 Ma (Redden and others, 1990). Maximum thickness about 1,000 m. Reference: Redden, J.A., E. DeWitt. Maps Showing Geology, Structure, and Geophysics of the Central Black Hills, South Dakota.
