Book Description

Excerpt from Geology and Ore-Deposits of Rossland, B. C: Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Pure Science, Columbia University The relationship between diorite porphyry and monzonite is a doubtful one. The two are often found in contact in the mine-workings. But so intimately associated and so like in appear ance that the relative age is uncertain. The diorite porphyry is very frequently found lying between augite porphyrite and monzonite. But so far no intrusions of diorite porphyry into monzonite have been found underground. A dyke-like mass of it on the surface near the drill hall is possibly a roof pendant unabsorbed in the monzonite batholith. Both mica and non-mica dykes cut the diorite porphyry. And it is also intruded by dyke representatives of the later granitic intrusives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
