Metamorphic > MigmatiteVaried gneisses of mostly unknown age in cores of gneiss domes and fault-bounded uplifts (Archean gneiss terranes). Except for the Watersmeet dome (Late to Early Archean); all dated rocks are Late Archean. Includes granite of Late Archean age that transgresses gneisses and amphibolite.
