DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITS
PALEOZOIC ROCKS
Pzu Upper Cambrian sandstone and shale—Undifferentiated as to formation,situated along the northwestern margin of the Hollandale embayment.Essentially flat-lying marine strata that unconformably overlie Precambrianrocks. Thickness of the section ranges from less than 10 feet (3 meters)along the northwest margin of the unit to more than 300 feet (91 meters)just east of the map area. Contacts of Precambrian rock units mappedgeophysically beneath the Paleozoic rocks are indicated by dotted linesand the map-unit symbols for these units are in italics.
PALEOPROTEROZOIC ROCKS
�s Sioux Quartzite—Quartzite, hard, vitreous, red to pink, prominently cross-bedded, derived mainly from medium- to coarse-grained quartz sandstone.Thin layers of well-indurated mudstone, siltstone, and fine-grained sandstonerepresent less than 5 percent of the formation. The rocks are gentlywarped and/or tilted; master beds typically dip between 5 and 15 degrees.Faults mapped beneath the Sioux Quartzite are indicated by thick dashedlines.
Diabase dikes—Six groups of dikes are distinguished on the basis of trend,magnetic polarity, relative age, modal and geochemical composition, andpetrographic attributes.
�d1 Reversely polarized, east–northeast to west–northwest trend (azimuth 070-110)—Dikes are deuterically altered Fe-tholeiite in which secondaryamphibole has grown extensively at the expense of primary clinopyroxene.The group includes prominent dikes exposed south of Granite Falls andsouth of Franklin. Two dikes near Granite Falls yield whole-rock K-Ardates of 2080 and 1980 Ma (Hanson and Himmelberg, 1967). A dikenear Franklin is dated at 2067 ± 12 Ma (U-Pb on baddeleyite; M. Schmitz,unpub. data, 1998). Petrographically, geochemically, and geochronologicallythese dikes closely resemble dikes of the Kenora–Kabetogama swarm(Southwick and Day, 1983) sampled north of this map area. See group�d2 below.
�d2 Reversely polarized, northwest trend (azimuth 125-140)—Petrographic andgeochemical attributes are unknown within the map area. Some dikes onthis trend may be coextensive with the Kenora–Kabetogama swarm ofnorthern and northwestern Minnesota and adjoining Canada, which is datedat 2076 ± 5 Ma (U-Pb on baddeleyite; Wirth and others, 1995; Buchanand others, 1996). Other reversed dikes on this trend may be substantiallyyounger.
�d3 East–northeast trend (azimuth 075-085)—Dikes of groups �d3 and �d4 cutPaleoproterozoic plutonic rocks in the eastern and southern parts of themap. Group �d3 is reversely polarized and group �d4 is normally polarized.Their trends and geophysical characteristics are similar to those of olivinetholeiite dikes in the St. Cloud area that cut rocks dated at approximately1775 Ma (Van Schmus and others, 2001). The dikes themselves areundated.
�d5 North–northwest trend (azimuth 000-170)—Dikes of groups �d5 and �d6
are associated with strong, pervasive geophysical anomalies and areinterpreted to be relatively thick. Group �d5 is normally polarized andgroup �d6 is reversely polarized. No petrologic or geochronologic dataare available.
�l Lamprophyre, syenite, hornfels, and skarn—The geophysical anomaly generatedby an inferred intrusion near Garvin, in Lyon County, consists of highgravity and low magnetic signatures. This uncommon combination issuggestive of lamprophyre. Test hole SWG-5 intersected hornblendehornfels, marble, scapolite-vesuvianite skarn, and metasomatic garnet-biotite-calcite veins; these rocks are interpreted to have been producedby contact metamorphism in the roof zone of the lamprophyre intrusion(Southwick and others, 1993).
�gp Gabbro, pyroxenite, hornblende gabbro, and hornblende diorite—Small,pipe-like or plug-like intrusions, some of which are compositionally zoned;zoned bodies may contain minor amounts of granodiorite in addition tothe dominant mafic, ultramafic, and intermediate rock types. Includesthe Cedar Mountain Complex south of Franklin, dated by whole-rock Rb-Sr methods at approximately 1750 Ma (Goldich and others, 1970), andultramafic plugs in the Minnesota River Valley northwest of Franklin.
�gg Granite and granodiorite—Geophysical expression resembles that of the FoleyGranite of east-central Minnesota (Jirsa and Chandler, 1997).
�gn Non-magnetic border phase of granitic plutons cored by unit �gg. Interpretedprovisionally as leucogranite.
�gd Granite and granodiorite—Inferred from geophysical expression to be similarto, or possibly equivalent to the Rockville Granite of the St. Cloud area(Jirsa and others, 1995; Boerboom and Holm, 2000).
�hg Biotite-hornblende granite, monzogranite, and monzodiorite—May includelesser amounts of diorite, tonalite, and mafic rock types. Rock recoveredfrom core hole SQ-5 (102-36-11DDDD) is a mesocratic quartz monzodioritepetrographically similar to the Reformatory Granite at its type localitynear St. Cloud. The rock in SQ-5 yields a discordant U-Pb zircon date of1792 ± 31 Ma (Peterman, as reported in Southwick, 1994).
�hn Magnetic border phase of granitoid plutons cored by unit �hg. Interpretedprovisionally as oxide-rich diorite or gabbro.
�hd Diorite and tonalite—May include lesser amounts of granite, monzogranite,monzodiorite, and gabbro.
�ng Norite and gabbro—Geophysically continuous with rock sampled by coredrilling near Spencer, Iowa (Yaghubpur, 1979).
�g Granite—In the southeast corner of the map beneath Paleozoic strata, it occupiesthe centers of compositionally zoned plutons in which the outer portionsare denser, more magnetic rocks interpreted to be diorite, tonalite, andgabbro. Also forms isolated small plutons including a lensoid mass locatedwest of Garvin. Relationships to granite and granodiorite units �gg and�gr are unknown.
�dt Diorite, tonalite, and gabbro—Relatively magnetic and dense rocks that formthe outer parts of zoned plutons in which the central parts are granite ofunit �g. Similar if not identical rocks are interpreted to form discrete,irregularly shaped plutons of various sizes throughout the map area. Rockswithin some of the discrete plutons may be related to the gabbroic anddioritic rocks of unit �gp.
�gb Gabbro—Fresh, two-pyroxene gabbro that forms discrete, widely scattered,stock-like intrusions. Several intrusions contain centrally located smallbodies of low-density rock; these are mapped provisionally as granite(unit �gr).
�gr Granite—Forms the central parts of small, epizonal intrusions that are mainlygabbro; also forms independent small plugs and lenses. The Section 28granite of Goldich and others (1970), located north of Granite Falls, isassigned provisionally to this map unit. The Section 28 granite yields awhole-rock Pb-Pb age of 1840 ± 50 Ma (Doe and Delevaux, 1980).
NEOARCHEAN AND/OR PALEOPROTEROZOIC ROCKS
A�y Mylonitic rocks—Associated with the Yellow Medicine shear zone.
A�b Biotite schist—In part mylonitic, located within and near the Yellow Medicineshear zone.
A�m Felsic metavolcanic rocks and their metaclastic equivalents—Presence inferredfrom geophysical expression.
A�i Mafic to intermediate metavolcanic rocks.
A�f Iron-formation—Oxide-facies iron-formation mapped aeromagnetically andverified by very sparse drilling. Exploration hole E-1, drilled by NewJersey Zinc near Hendricks in Lincoln County, cut iron-formation thatpossesses oolitic to pelletoidal texture, and on that basis is inferred to beof Paleoproterozoic age.
A�v Mafic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks—Deformed and metamorphosed underconditions of the upper greenschist to amphibolite facies. Includes pillowedmetabasalt and mafic breccia that crop out north of St. Leo in YellowMedicine County.
A�p Peridotite and related ultramafic rocks—Variably metamorphosed toserpentinite, talc-actinolite schist, and essentially monomineralic actinoliterock.
NEOARCHEAN ROCKS
Alg Leucogranite—In part mylonitic, located within and near the Yellow Medicineshear zone.
Ag Granite—Mapped exclusively from geophysical expression. Much of thisunit is probably the same age as the Sacred Heart granite (Ags) or theFort Ridgely granite (Agf).
Agf Fort Ridgely granite—Granite, biotite-bearing, massive to weakly foliated,medium- to coarse-grained, pink to gray.
Ags Sacred Heart granite—Granite, biotite-bearing, medium-grained, pink to gray.Rock is massive except near contacts with wall rocks where it is moderatelyfoliated and locally gneissic. Yields a discordant whole-rock Pb-Pb ageof 2605 ± 6 Ma (Doe and Delevaux, 1980).
Atg Tonalite and granodiorite, undivided—Forms large, poorly defined intrusivemasses toward the eastern edge of the map area and in the west-centralarea west and north of Russell. The eastern mass is mostly beneathPaleozoic strata. Moderately foliated biotite-hornblende tonalite from corehole SQ-8 (Watonwan County, 107-31-11BCCC) yields a discordant U-Pbzircon date of 2624 ± 57 Ma (Van Schmus, reported in Southwick, 1994).
NEOARCHEAN AND MESOARCHEAN ROCKS
Agn Granitic to tonalitic gneiss of the Jeffers block—Drill samples include diversequartzofeldspathic gneisses that are lithologically similar to gneisses ofthe Morton and Montevideo blocks (Fig. 2; Southwick and Chandler,1996); however, temporal and genetic relationships to the Morton andMontevideo Gneisses (units Am and Amo, respectively) have not beenestablished.
Amg Mafic gneiss of the Jeffers block—Inferred from geophysical expression.
Am Morton Gneiss—Gneiss complex composed of several intermingled rock typesof generally quartzofeldspathic composition. The most voluminous variantsexposed along the Minnesota River are: 1. Homogeneous, medium- tocoarse-grained biotite tonalite gneiss that contains scattered inclusions ofamphibolite; 2. Strongly layered tonalite gneiss (layers centimeters todecimeters in thickness) that contains conformable sheets and disconformableblocks of amphibolite; 3. Homogeneous, coarse-grained to pegmatiticgranodiorite gneiss; 4. Massive, fine- to medium-grained granoblasticleucogneiss of granodiorite and tonalite composition; and 5. Anatecticgranite. Rock types 1 through 4 are shades of gray; rock type 5 is pink."Rainbow granite" building stone, quarried at Morton, is a somewhatlocal variant in which the pink anatectic phase is uncommonly abundant.The principal gneissic layering in the Morton Gneiss is subhorizontal andfolded into broad warps that plunge gently to the northeast.Geochronologically, the Morton Gneiss yields published dates that rangebetween 3624 ± 46 Ma on rock type 1 (discordant U-Pb zircon determination;Goldich and Fischer, 1986) and 3043 ± ? Ma on rock type 5 (whole-rockPb-Pb determination; Goldich and Wooden, 1980). See Goldich andWooden (1980) for detailed interpretations of the geochronologic data.
Amo Montevideo Gneiss—Gneiss complex composed of diverse quartzofeldspathicrock types of probable intrusive origin and interstratified mafic andaluminous rock types of probable supracrustal origin, at least in part.Mapped as unit Amo where undivided. The most abundant quartzofeldspathicvariant is a medium-grained, biotite-bearing, streakily layered gray togray-pink gneiss of generally granodioritic composition; this rock typeyields dates as old as 3680 ± 70 Ma (whole-rock Rb-Sr determination;Goldich and others, 1980). Gneiss varieties mapped separately in thevicinity of Granite Falls (after Himmelberg, 1968) are hornblende-pyroxenegranulite and amphibolite of basaltic composition (unit Ama), and biotite-garnet gneiss of broadly graywacke-like composition (unit Amn). Theprincipal gneissic layering in all components of the Montevideo Gneissforms low-amplitude folds that plunge gently to the northeast. Earlierminor folds of several generations are reoriented by the regional broadwarps. See Bauer (1980) and Goldich and others (1980) for detailedinterpretations of structure, geochemistry, and geochronology.
INTRODUCTION
This map shows the configuration of map units of Precambrian (Paleoproterozoic and Archean) and Paleozoicage. The outlines of individual Precambrian units are defined largely on the basis of gravity and high-resolutionaeromagnetic data (Chandler, 2002). This map differs from a conventional "first pre-Quaternary" bedrock geologicmap in that it does not show the distribution of the comparatively thin, horizontally bedded, Cretaceous shale andsiltstone that are widely but discontinuously present above the Precambrian and Paleozoic rocks (Fig. 1).
Many Precambrian rock units depicted on this map on the basis of geophysical expression are assigned Archeanor Paleoproterozoic age designations even though they have not been dated radiometrically, or in some cases evensampled. These speculative age assignments are based on either the geophysical continuity of the map unit with adated rock unit outside the map area, or the similarity of geophysical expression of the map unit to that of a datedrock unit elsewhere. Such age assignments should be viewed as hypothetical, subject to geochronologic verification.
This map was compiled and digitized at 1:250,000-scale. Therefore, no gain in the accuracy, precision, orresolution of the map will result from enlargement.
