| Comments | Yifm is felsic augen gneiss after two-mica granite with rapakivi texture. A large Yifm pluton in the northeastern part of the Salmon River Mountains has been dated 1364 +/- 9 Ma (ID025, ID167). It contains large oblate spheroidal microcline crystals with albitic rims (rapakivi texture) in a matrix of quartz and feldspar, with biotite and minor muscovite. This thick ring- or dish-shaped body of orthogneiss intrudes Middle Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks and amphibolitic mafic sills. It is intruded by globular masses of diabase, indicating that it is a product of bimodal mafic-felsic magmatism (ID164). AAB eliminated PCim by changing PCim polygons to Yifm. |
