Comments on the geologic information

  • THE VEIN IS IN SCHIST AND MIGMATITE OF THE METAMORPHIC COMPLEX OF CONCONULLY. THESE ROCKS ARE THOUGHT BY RINEHART AND FOX (1976) TO BE IN PART LATE TRIASSIC BECAUSE THEY ARE INTRUDED BY A SMALL PLUTON THAT IS CORRELATED WITH THE LOOMIS PLUTON, DATED AT 194 M.Y.
