dc.descriptionThe Granite Wash Mountains are one of the most structurally complicated mountain ranges in Arizona. The northern part of the range is composed of an imbricate stack of structurally interleaved Mesozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks, Paleozoic strata, and Precambrian crystalline rocks. A.s part of the 1983 AGS Fall field trio, we will briefly examine the lithologies, structures, and mineralization in the northern part of the range. The geology and mineral deposits of the Granite Wash Mountains are currently being studied as part of an Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology geological mapping project in the Phoenix lx2 degree sheet. Geologic research in the range is not yet finished, so all conclusions and opinions discussed in this field trip guide must be considered PRELIMINARY.
