Structure description Metamorphosed Sediments That Were Originally Deposited Along A Paleozoic Active Continental Margin Are Intruded By The Granite Of Moses Mountain. The Granite Of Moses Mountain Is Part Of The Keller Butte Suite Of Holder And Holder (1988). Rocks Of Keller Butte Suite Were Emplaced During Regional Ductile Stretching Associated With Deformation In The Metamorphic Core Complexes (Holder And Holder, 1988).
