Eagle Rest Peak terrane – western San Emigdio Mountains
Eagle Rest Peak terrane – western San Emigdio Mountains
Paleozoic
Amphibolite after pillow basalt and sheeted dikes, with rare plagiogranite pods. Intruded by the Jurassic San Emigdio intrusive suite (unit Gse). Equivalent to the Paleozoic part of the Western San Emigdio mafic complex of Chapman and Saleeby (2012). Chapman and others (2012) show the trace-element chemistry of these rocks lies between normal and enriched mid-ocean ridge basalt, and is comparable to that of the Paleozoic Kings-Kaweah ophiolite belt (units MRKA and MRKI).
