Summary
[edit]DescriptionHydrothermal veins in Butte Quartz Monzonite (Woodville Canyon, northeast of Butte, Montana, USA) 3.jpg |
English: Hydrothermal veins in quartz monzonite in the Cretaceous of Montana, USA.
This outcrop is in the Butte Quartz Monzonite (a.k.a. Butte Pluton), which is part of the Boulder Batholith. The Butte Quartz Monzonite ("BQM") formed 76.3 million years ago, during the mid-Campanian Stage in the Late Cretaceous. In the Butte, Montana area, BQM rocks have been intruded and altered by hydrothermal veins containing valuable metallic minerals - principally copper sulfides. The copper mineralization has been dated to 62-66 million years ago, during the latest Maastrichtian Stage (latest Cretaceous) and Danian Stage (Early Paleocene). In the supergene enrichment zone of the area, the original sulfide mineralogy has been altered. The rusty color of these veins is from iron oxide, produced by oxidative weathering of pyrite (mostly likely). Geologic unit: Butte Quartz Monzonite, Boulder Batholith, late Late Cretaceous, Campanian Stage, 76.3 Ma Locality: roadcut on the western side of Frontage Road in Woodville Canyon, just south of Elk Park Pass, northeast of the town of Butte, Silver Bow County, southwestern Montana, USA |
