The thesis area includes 54 square miles of the southeastern
Cuddy Mountains in west-central Idaho. The oldest rocks within the
area are plutonic phases of the Jurassic Cuddy Mountain complex.
These and Cretaceous (?) intrusive and associated (?) extrusive rocks
and nearby Triassic to Early Jurassic metasedimentary and metavolcanic
rocks...
Eleven small Mesozoic plutons crop out within a 76-squaremile
area of the southern Seven Devils Mountains in west-central
Idaho. The plutons are divided into a mafic suite, an older granitic
suite, and a younger granitic suite on the basis of age, lithology, and
degree of metamorphism.
The six plutons of...
The Jefferson Mountain area, located at the eastern end of
the Centennial Mountains in Fremont County, Idaho and Beaverhead
County, Montana, is approximately 42 square miles in size. The
area contains exposed metamorphic, sedimentary, and volcanic
rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Tertiary. Approximately
2,500 feet of Paleozoic and...
The Peck Mountain area is located in west-central Idaho just 15 miles east of the Oregon-Idaho border. It is tectonically located within the "Columbia Arc" of the Nevadan oroaenic belt. The Seven Devils Volcanics, Permian to Traissic in age, are the oldest rocks in the area. They are composed of...
The thesis area includes 44 square miles of the Centennial
Range in Beaverhead County, Montana, and Clark County, Idaho.
The rocks exposed in the area range in age from Precambrian
to Recent and have been divided into 23 mapped units. Pre-Belt
metamorphic basement rocks are overlain unconformably by 3,433
feet...
Metamorphosed volcanogenic rocks of the Permian and Triassic Seven Devils Group are exposed in the northern part of the Heavens Gate 7.5 minute quadrangle, western Idaho. These rocks originated in a volcanic arc at a destructive plate margin. In the north, rocks that probably belong to the Lower Permian Hunsaker...
