Metagabbro (Early Proterozoic): Metagabbro - Mafic to ultramafic bodies defined and delineated principally by positive magnetic and gravity anomalies; includes diorite bodies. Comagmatic with unit Xmi

Montana

Diorite and gabbro (Phanerozoic | Mesozoic | Cretaceous(?)): Diorite and gabbro: dark, moderately fine grained rocks in sills, dikes, and irregular bodies; not readily distinguished from similar rocks of other ages. Hence in the less well-known areas errors in age assignment may remain. These rocks are assigned to the Cretaceous(?).
Stillwater complex (Archean Proterozoic(?) preCambrian-Proterozoic(?) preCambrian(?) Phanerozoic | Paleozoic(?) Mesozoic(?) Cenozoic | Cambrian(?) Ordovician(?) Silurian(?) Devonian(?) Carboniferous(?) Permian(?) Triassic(?) Jurassic(?) Cretaceous(?) Tertiary): Stillwater complex: consists chiefly of ultrabasic intrusive rocks and metamorphic rocks not yet named or subdivided.
Tertiary dikes and sills (Phanerozoic | Cenozoic | Tertiary): Tertiary dikes and sills: mostly granophyric rocks in west and alkalic rocks in east, but includes some quartz diorite and other rocks. These dikes and sills are in part offshoots of the Tertiary coarse-grained intrusive rocks.

Wyoming

Mafic intrusive rocks (Proterozoic | Paleoproterozoic ): MAFIC INTRUSIVE ROCKS. Sierra Madre--Gabbro of Elkhorn Mountain; age 1,800 Ma. Medicine Bow Mountains--Mullen Creek 5 and Lake Owens 7 Mafic Complexes; older than 1,700 Ma.
