StateOklahoma
NameSpavinaw Granite
Geologic agePhanerozoic | Paleozoic | Cambrian-Middle
Original map labelpCg
CommentsComments: Exposed in few small outcrops near Spavinaw, Mayes Co, OK, Midcontinent region, however, data from over 300 drill holes indicate that terrane underlies most of northeast OK, eastern KS, southwest MO, and northern AR. Spavinaw consists of anorogenic epizonal granite and rhyolite that have not been regionally metamorphosed. Terrane includes Washington Volcanic Group, Spavinaw Granite Group, Osage Microgranite and Central Oklahoma Granite Group. U/Pb ages taken on zircons by other workers date Spavinaw at 1.40-1.35 Ga. (Kisvarsanyi, 1990)
