KΓΆppen climate type:
Cfb : Temperate oceanic climate


Consists of several plutons, dikes and areas of extrusive rocks. The most substantial intrusion forms Mount Dromedary, which rises to c. 900 m, whereas Little Dromedary is a smaller intrusion lying between Mount Dromedary and the coast. Montague Island comprises a further intrusion located c. 7 km off the coast to the NE of Little Dromedary.
The Complex is emplaced into Lower Paleozoic sandstones and shales, against which the contacts are essentially vertical.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Late/Upper Cretaceous : 97.9 Β± 1.4 Ma to 91 Β± 3 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
