Geochemical data for samples of rock, stream sediment, and nonmagnetic heavy-mineral concentrate from the South Sierra Wilderness and the South Sierra Roadless Area, southern Sierra Nevada, California
Abstract:helped perform the geochemical sampling. GEOLOGIC SETTING South Sierra Wilderness and the South Sierra Roadless Area are underlain mostly by granitic rocks of the Sierra Nevada batholith, that were emplaced during at least three major periods of intrusive activity (Evernden and Kistler, 1970). These consist of Cretaceous leucocratic, nonfoliated rocks of granitic to granodioritic composition; an older set of slightly more mafic granodioritic to tonalitic rocks of Jurassic age that often have stromatic to schli… Show more
