Shallow-level metagranitic rocks, medium-level granodiorite and lesser diorite and gabbro
Shallow-level metagranitic rocks, medium-level granodiorite and lesser diorite and gabbro
Late to Middle Jurassic, ~153-165 Ma
Chiefly shallow-level metagranitic rocks, medium-level granodiorite, and lesser diorite and gabbro. Occurs in the northwestern Ritter Range (granodiorite, diorite, and gabbro), western Goddard Range (granite, leucogranite, granodiorite, and ~157 Ma, zircon U-Pb, quartz syenite, Bateman, 1992), and eastern Oak Creek (gneissose and undeformed granodiorite and quartz monzonite, mafic plutonic rock, and ~154-165 Ma zircon U-Pb, alaskitic quartz monzonite, Chen and Moore, 1982; Saleeby and others, 1990) roof pendants, as well as a small body near Taboose Pass (Red Mountain Creek pluton, alaskitic quartz monzonite, ~153 Ma zircon U-Pb, Chen and Moore, 1982), and as small bodies at the south end of the Goddard Range in the Marion Peak Quadrangle (sheared granodiorite) and on the South Fork of Bishop Creek (sheared granite with an apatite fission track age of ~83 Ma and a sphene fission track age of ~72 Ma, Naeser and Dodge, 1969). Also occurs between Sheep Ridge and Sequoia roof pendants (sheared and unsheared granodiorite and granite of Yucca Mountain, which has yielded zircon U-Pb age of ~162 Ma, Saleeby and Dunne, 2015) as well as a small body of sheared granodiorite to the northeast at Muir Grove. Unit intrudes approximately coeval metavolcanic rocks (unit SCGV) as well as the older Kings and Owens terranes. Terrane magmatically linked to Palisade Crest Intrusive Suite (unit Gpc).
