Tertiary intrusive rocks, undivided (TXTi;0)

State	Texas
Name	Tertiary intrusive rocks, undivided
Geologic age	Tertiary
Lithologic constituents	Major Igneous > Plutonic > Granitic > Granite (Laccolith)
Comments	McKinney Hills laccolith intrusion is augite-hornblende granite or microgranite with variable amounts of iron-rich olivine that in some samples forms as much as 5 percent of the rock. At Roy's Peak the intrusion is about 950 ft thick. Most abundant type of rock is fayalite microgranite (Maxwell and others, 1967, p. 186-188).
