| Name | Quartz diorite, tonalite, granodiorite, orthogneiss, migmatite; Cretaceous to Jurassic quartz dioritic plutons; western Idaho, Blue Mountains island-arc complex |
| Geologic age | Early Cretaceous to Late Jurassic |
| Original map label | JTRi; Ki?; KJi; PC; pKi |
| Comments | KJii is mostly quartz diorite, but also includes minor granodiorite and tonalite to local and incidental tronhjemite, aplite, migmatite, and gabbro. KJii is orthogneissic near the Western Idaho Suture Zone. Ages of KJii plutons are uncertain. Some may be allocthonous, whereas others probably were emplaced during and after accretion of the oceanic island-arc terranes that host them. |
