| The lower crust beneath the Dzhabyk batholith is only weakly reflective and the Moho is not imaged. |
|
| Recent researchers have divided the batholith longitudinally into two zones based on geochemical, geophysical, and lithologic differences. |
|
| The batholith extends into the west Kimberley, and is more than 750 km long and about 60-70 km wide. |
|
| Below the transparent batholith, the crust is very reflective to depths of c.20 km. |
|
| The magmas that formed the batholith were generated in response to the subduction of the Farallon plate beneath the North American plate. |
|
| The Dzhabyk batholith crops out along the entire surface trace of the profile. |
|
| The URSEIS seismic profile images the 2D crustal profile from the surface outcrop of the Dzhabyk batholith to the upper mantle. |
|
| The currently accepted name for this part of the craton is the Murehwa batholith. |
|
| A similar inter-relationship between strikeslip faulting and plutonism was suggested for the Mesozoic batholith of California. |
|
| East Uralian Zone host rocks surrounding the Dzhabyk batholith have an overall east-dipping foliation that, near the batholith, are concordant with the contact. |
|
| A batholith is a large volume of previously molten rock, which has solidified and through erosion is now visible at the surface. |
|
| Most of the granitic plutons that make up this part of the batholith are characterized by upright magmatic-state planar fabrics trending NE with shallow lineations. |
|
| We climbed and circled the hoary igneous batholith like it was David's Jerusalem or the very Ka'bah. |
|
| The property is situated along the Tobeatic fault zone, at the southern margin of the South Mountain batholith. |
|
| The northern elevated portion of the region is underlain by an extensive granitic batholith. |
|
| The topographically higher parts of the Mpuluzi batholith are made up of mainly massive, fine-grained leucogranite intermingled with irregular pods and dykes of pegmatites. |
|
| The southern, topographically highest parts of the Mpuluzi batholith are made up of coarsely porphyritic monzogranite characterized by abundant microcline megacrysts. |
|
| Mountain building in these ranges resulted from compressional folding and high-angle faulting during the Laramide Orogeny, as the Mesozoic sedimentary rocks were arched upward over a massive batholith of crystalline rock. |
|
| The property is underlain by the Launay pluton as well as the eastern part of the Tascherau batholith. |
|
| All the islands of Scilly are all composed of granite rock of early Permian age, an exposed part of the Cornubian batholith. |
|
|
|
| A higher P-T crystallization regime is characteristic of monzonitic rocks of the Aland batholith. |
|
| The Grum sedimentary exhalative deposit is one of several known orebodies distributed in an arcuate belt along the south flank of the Anvil Range batholith in central Yukon. |
|
| Immediately following batholith emplacement a large intermontane basin, referred to as the Maritimes Basin, developed under an extensional tectonic regime. |
|
| The volume of the batholith was estimated in 1989 to be around 68,000 cubic kilometres. |
|
| There is no apparent systematic variation in age of plutons compared to their position within the batholith. |
|
| This is the largest exposed area of granite which also forms the easternmost development of the batholith. |
|
| A granodiorite batholith underlies part of the trail area. |
|
| A feature of the granites of the batholith is the high concentrations of volatile components. |
|
| Large mineral deposits are found in the vicinity of the batholith and these have been mined for thousands of years. |
|
| The bedrock consists of a granite batholith intruded during the Mesozoic. |
|
| Gold is present as disseminations in altered granodioritic rocks of the batholith, and in deformed sedimentary and gabbroic rocks within the contact aureole. |
|
| A batholith is formed when many plutons converge to form a huge expanse of granitic rock. |
|
| Mineralization in the Western Target is rather hosted by volcanics at contact with the batholith as it is the case for various other gold deposits also exploited on the edges of the batholith of Bourlamaque. |
|
| Towards the end of, or after the cessation of the volcanic activity a large granite batholith was emplaced in stages beneath the volcanic rocks of the Lake District. |
|
| It was intruded at 277 Ma and is considered most likely to be a separate but related intrusive body that runs parallel to the Cornubian batholith. |
|
| The whole region was then uplifted again by a batholith of granite mainly in the Carboniferous period although the granite remains largely below the surface. |
|
| One such batholith is the Sierra Nevada Batholith, which is a continuous granitic formation that makes up much of the Sierra Nevada in California. |
|
| If the pluton is large, it may be called a batholith or a stock. |
|
| The target is also interpreted to lie between two discrete granite batholiths or within the collapsed roof structure of a single larger batholith. |
|
| The geology of this region of the Pikes Peak Batholith is quite complex. |
|
|
|
| It is underlain by lower Cretaceous andesites and mid-Cretaceous diorites of the Coastal Batholith. |
|
| The Claims are underlain by granodioritic and quartz monzonitic, phases of the Jurassic Okanagan Batholith. |
|
| They are former gold producers that exploited high-grade gold veins hosted in the quartz monzonites of the Idaho Batholith. |
|
| They described the Goose Bay granite as garnetiferous, and similar to parts of the South Mountain Batholith. |
