Field Description:

-massive poorly foliate mafic tonalite (looks quartz diorite but has 20 to 25 % quartz) with salt and pepper texture and even grained homogeneous appearance.
-Intrusive into the volcanics and contains amphibolite inclusions
-Occurs as large rafts in Rock 1 and 2 but dominantly in 1.
-cut by old and young pegmatites.
