Series: GSA Field Guide
Publisher: Geological Society of America
Published: 01 January 2008
DOI: 10.1130/2008.fld011(01)
EISBN: 9780813756110
Abstract This field trip will visit the River Mountains volcanic section (12.17 ± 0.02 to 13.45 ± 0.02 Ma) and Wilson Ridge pluton (13.10 ± 0.11 Ma) in southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona. Although this volcanic-plutonic system was disrupted by the Saddle Island detachment fault during Miocene crustal extension, there are convincing lithological, mineralogical, geochemical and geochronological indicators that suggest a cogenetic relationship. The trip consists of 17 stops that emphasize evidence that links the volcanic and plutonic sections. In addition we will visit the Saddle Island detachment fault at its type locality on Saddle Island.
