PETROLOGIC DATA

Rock Number: 1

Rock Type: multi-component schlieric gneiss

Field Description:

-broad zone of contact between CWB and WJC
-the exposure is dominantly leuco. augen GRDR of the WJC
-this matierial is highly schleric locally becomes HB-GRDR thru assimilation of amphiboles and contains many inclusions of diverse rock types but no inclusions appear to be either volcanic amphibolite or a wide variety of mafic intrusive rock GR diorite to HB'ite
-the old mafic complex of ampb and GRDR is extensivly intruded by CWB GRDR, mainly of camp variety with lesser amounts of CWB TNLT
-the 2 complexes are then sheared together into a horrible mess
-the original distribution and attitude and intrusive relations of the 2 complexes is almost of completely obliterated by shearing, leaving parallel zones of inclusions
-rich matierial separated by schleric "club" GRDR
-the intensity of deformation in "WJC" zones is much higher than CWB which suggests the possibility of an extensive deformational history for WJC prior to intrusion of CWB
-latest intrusive feature is weakly deformed cross-cutting BO-Tourmaline Pegmatites
