This geological map and associated information on rock units at or nearby to the coordinates given for this locality is based on relatively small scale geological maps provided by various national Geological Surveys. This does not necessarily represent the complete geology at this locality but it gives a background for the region in which it is found.

Cambrian - Neoproterozoic 485.4 - 1000 Ma | Phyllite and Schist Age: Neoproterozoic to Cambrian (485.4 - 1000 Ma) Description: Locally laminated and pyritic; includes phyllonite, sheared fine-grained metasediment, and metavolcanic rock. In Lilesville granite aureole, includes hornfels. Comments: In the description of CZph on the printed map, there is a unit called CZph1 and it applies to the hornfels of the Lilesville granite aureole. On the digital map this unit is NOT used, only CZph. So I did NOT make a separate unit for CZph1. The digital map DOES use the unit CZbg (which is described under CZph on the printed map also), so I DID make this a separate unit. Lithology: Major:{phyllite,schist}, Minor:{phyllonite}, Incidental:{metasedimentary, metavolcanic, hornfels} Reference: Horton, J.D., C.A. San Juan, and D.B. Stoeser.
