This book was released on 1987 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The La Posta pluton is the largest of a series of similar bodies that characterize the eastern zone of the Peninsular Ranges batholith. It appears to be a single intrusive body that is concentrically zoned from a metaluminous, sphene-hornblende-biotite tonalite rim to a peraluminous, muscovite-biotite granodiorite core. The interior portion of the pluton contains a large NNW oriented metasedimentary roof pendant which divides the pluton in the study area. Cutting both the La Posta pluton and the metasedimentary rocks is a body of garnet-muscovite-biotite monzogranite which is enveloped by sillimanite-grade metamorphic rocks. This study of the geochemical, mineralogical, and isotopic variations of the pluton and some of the related rocks was undertaken in order to better understand the age and origin of this large zoned body. Variation in major element compositions from rim to core is small with silica ranging from 66% to 74% and A/CNK ratio varying from 0.96 to 1.21. Total iron, MgO, CaO, MnO, Ti02, and P205 all decrease in abundance from rim to core. K20 and Na20 show no systematic variation in the pluton. The geochemical variations within the pluton are consistent with the petrographic relationships which indicate that hornblende, then biotite, and finally muscovite crystallized in the presence of quartz, increasingly sodic plagioclase, and an increasing amount of alkali feldspar. The La Posta rocks are enriched in Sr relative to other rocks in the Peninsular Ranges batholith. The garnet-bearing monzogranites appear to be geochemically distinct from the La Posta rocks. Mineral compositions show a limited range of variation within the pluton. The anorthite content of plagioclase varies approximately 10% from the margin to the core of the pluton. Biotite compositions vary primarily with paragenesis. Estimates of temperature and pressure conditions based on mineral chemistries indicate pressures of 2 to 3 kbars and temperatures of 735°C to 785°C. These conditions are consistent with those obtained for the adjacent metamorphic rocks. Three U-Pb (zircon) ages and one Rb-Sr age for rocks from the La Posta pluton indicate an age of 94 -+ 1 m.y. No significant variation in age was noted between the eastern and western portions of the pluton. The La Posta pluton is isotopically zoned with respect to oxygen. Whole rock oxygen values increase from 10.5 per mil at the western margin to 11.8 per mil at the core and decrease to 9.7 per mil at the eastern margin. This zonation appears to be primary rather than reflecting the effects of high level processes. The high primary oxygen values are indicative of the involvement of crustal material in the origin of the magma either as a source material or as a reservoir for isotopic exchange. The overall chemical composition of the pluton and the low initial strontium value of 0.70437 suggests that any continentally derived component was small. The La Posta pluton appears to have been emplaced as a single intrusive unit at mid-crustal depths of 7 to 11 kilometers. The compositional and isotopic evidence indicate that the major components of the magma originated from the upper mantle or intermediate mantle derived materials. The zonation from metaluminous sphene-hornblende-biotite tonalite at the margins to muscovite-biotite granodiorite resulted from the fractional crystallization of the magma as the pluton cooled from the margins inward.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minerals of California Since the appearance of the second list, our knowledge of the geology and mineralogy of the State has vastly increased. The ore deposits of many of the counties, the gem and borate deposits of the southern counties, and the petrography of many districts, have been investigated and described, so that our present knowledge of the mineralogy of the State is much more general. The present list contains more than double the number of definite mineral species given by Hanks, besides many sub-species and varieties. The desire has been to make the list as complete as possible of the known minerals, and where they occur, but the list of localities where the same mineral might be found is necessarily incomplete. Many minerals are so commonly distributed throughout the State, such as small bodies or pockets of metallic minerals and the rock-forming minerals, that it would be useless and impossible to cite all of their occurrences. In such a vast area as California, localities may be known to local col lectors where excellent specimens may occur, unknown to the author. Some minerals may be known to occur in the State which have not been mentioned in this work, but it is believed that they will be very few in number.
