STRUCTURAL DATA

Planar Structures:
Structure type Strike Dip Separation
schistosity 75 90

PETROLOGIC DATA

Rock Number: 1

Rock Type: greywacke
Descriptors:
schistose
feldspathic

Field Description:

-much as previous station, although quartz-rich psammites + calc-silicate layers are not as common and dominate rock type is a light grey, feldspar rich... quartz 35% greywacke
-layers with feldspar blasticsis far more common and restricted to BO bearing layers
-baudinage and overtightened synclinal Z-asymetric folds have largely disrupted bedding
-the feldspathic sands are commonly graded

Minerals of Note
Mineral Abundance (%)
muscovite

Rock Number: 2

Rock Type: pegmatite

Field Description:

-25% exposure is dikes, thicknesses varying from cm's to > metre of highly deformed pegmatite
-bird's foot QZ-MV aggregates common
-BO abundant along margins and as internal foliated masses in dikes
-GR is a rare accessory
