Bimodal mafic and felsic metavolcanic rocks

Bimodal mafic and felsic metavolcanic rocks - High-aluminum basalt to low-silica andesite pillowed flows and interlayered dacite to rhyolite tuffs and porphyries in Monico and Mountain areas, northeastern Wisconsin. A rhyolite porphyry at Jennings (Oneida County) has an age of 1869 +/- 6 Ma. Rocks are host to massive sulfide deposits (Crandon and Pelican River)
