PETROLOGIC DATA

Rock Number: 1

Rock Type: amphibolite
Descriptors:
layered
hornblende - diopside bearing

Field Description:

-Rousell's 4A greywacke is not present
-granitic injected and isoclinally folded high grade ampb
-at a guess I would say because of the layering and general appearance it once was a basalt
-point is folded by a tight syncline that has a generally sub horizontal axis but rises and falls giving opposing plunges
-minor sulfur gossan in core of synform--hinge live appears to be sheared out
-there appears to be a massive and layered sequence of ampb with some of the layered units probably sedimentary ampb
-one layer about 3 m thick(?) at south side of outcrop is a strange blastic plagiclase phyric mafic rock
-it has some of the appearance of a shoreshonitic basalt
-this unit is not separated on the north of the fold unless the fold is highly assym. and the unit reappears in the lake
