This 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 geology at this locality but it gives a background for the region in which it is found.
| Mesoproterozoic 1000 - 1600 Ma | Mesoproterozoic plutonic: granite Plutonic: granite |
| Mesoproterozoic 1000 - 1600 Ma | Rocks of Pikes Peak Batholith (1000-m.y. age group) |
| Mesoproterozoic 1000 - 1600 Ma | Mesoproterozoic plutonic rocks Deep-seated to high-level intrusions are included. Many charnockites, anorthosites, and large ophiolites, classified as plutons, are distinguished in the database using the SIGNIF item. Ophiolites were classified as plutons, even where remnants may be extrusive and/or sedimentary. |
