Geologic units containing monzodiorite

California

Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges) (Permian to Tertiary; most Mesozoic)

Mesozoic granite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite, and quartz diorite

Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 5 (Klamath Mountains) (Jurassic to early Cretaceous)

Mesozoic granite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite, and quartz diorite

Idaho

Granodiorite, quartz monzonite, granite, alaskite, quartz monzodioirte, diorite; Tertiary to Cretaceous, intrusions, undivided; northern, west-central, and southwestern Idaho (Eocene to Cretaceous)

Eocene intrusions; Cretaceous plutons, intermediate, Cretaceous plutons, felsic; metamorphosed granitic intrusive rock

Syenite, quartz syenite, monzodiorite, quartz diorite, gabbro, pyroxenite, and hornblendite; Late Proterozoic plutons; east-central Idaho (Late Proterozoic)

Younger or Intermediate Precambrian age intrusive rock undifferentiated.

Massachusetts

Cape Ann Complex (Lower Silurian or Upper Ordovician)

Cape Ann Complex - Squam Granite - Fine- to medium-grained monzodiorite. Squam Granite, though included in the Cape Ann Complex of this report, is probably not genetically related to the Cape Ann Granite and the Beverly Syenite, the dominant lithological types of the Complex. The origin of the granitic melt of the Cape Ann was likely under water-deficient conditions, but the origin of the Squam Granite, described here as a two-feldspar ferrohornblende biotite granite, remains obscure (Hon and others, 1993).

Maine

Hornblende Syenite (Middle Proterozoic)

Hornblende Syenite - Tan- to buff-weathering, pinkish-gray or greenish-gray, medium- to coarse-grained, gneissoid syenite and lesser amounts of quartz syenite containing microcline microperthite, oligoclase, quartz, and hornblende. Some phases are monzonite or monzodiorite.

Pyroxene Granite - Gray- to buff- or white-weathering, greenish-gray, medium- to coarse-grained, massive, gneissoid to indistinctly foliated granite containing mesoperthite to microantiperthite, quartz, oligoclase, and clinopyroxene. Common accessory minerals include titanite, magnetite, apatite, and trace amounts of pyrite. Some phases are monzonite, quartz monzodiorite, or granodiorite. Locally includes small bodies of amphibolite not shown on map.
