PETROLOGIC DATA

Rock Number: 1

Rock Type: amphibolite
Descriptors:
massive
volcanic derived

Field Description:

-Black, massive, HB-BO ampb.
-contains 30% injected tonalite and pegmatite
-was probably basaltic but all primary features obliterated

Rock Number: 2

Rock Type: gneiss
Descriptors:
layered

Field Description:

-feldspar rich; probably sedimentary gneiss
-up to 50-60 % injected material
-weathers beige to grey with irregular fabric
-was probably a dirty sandstone with ampb layering

Rock Number: 3

Rock Type: granite
Descriptors:
pegmatitic
leucocratic

Field Description:

-beige to pink weathering GRDR that occurs as extensive vein and sill networks.
-sills up to 2 m thick become randomly pegmatitic
-fairly typical of the late granite-pegmatite-aplite suite that occurs on the margins of CWB complex
