Dominantly quartzite, schistose quartzite, and quartz-mica schist; also contains subordinate gritty quartzite, chlorite schist, calc-silicate schist, marble, magnetite-biotite schist, amphibolite, and greenstone. Ranges from amphibolite to upper greenschist facies and locally retrograded to lower greenschist facies (Nokleberg and others, 1992a; Smith and others, 1994). Corresponds, in part, to the Fairbanks schist of Newberry and others (1996) of the Fairbanks mining district and surrounding areas of the southeastern Livengood and northeastern Fairbanks quadrangles (Robinson and others, 1990; Weber and others, 1992; Newberry and others, 1996) as well as a large portion of the Circle quadrangle (Foster and others, 1983). Smaller areas of exposure occur in the southern Big Delta quadrangle (Weber and others, 1978) and in the Eagle quadrangle (Foster, 1976). In the Circle quadrangle and northern Big Delta quadrangle, small exposures of gray or greenish-gray marble and gray to cream-colored dolomitic marble are included in this unit; diopside is present locally, indicating amphibolite facies metamorphism. No age control exists for these carbonate rocks
