| State | Nevada |
|---|---|
| Name | Intrusive rocks |
| Geologic age | Late Cretaceous to Middle Miocene |
| Original map label | Ti |
| Comments | This part of the map is based on 45-yr old mapping. The polygons include several late Cretaceous muscovite-bearing granites, as well as Tertiary plutons that range from granite to diorite. The topology of the polygons is not amenable to solution of this problem. |
| Primary rock type | alkali-granite (alaskite) |
| Secondary rock type | granite |
| Other rock types | granodiorite; tonalite; diorite; peraluminous granite |
| Lithologic constituents | Minor
