Granodiorite of Mount Harvard

Granite. Mesoproterozoic, about 1,600 to 1,000 million years old. 1 crag on this site has its map point on it.

What the map says

Gray, medium-grained to coarse-grained, equigranular to porphyritic, weakly foliated biotite granodiorite at and near Mount Harvard. Composed, in decreasing amounts, of sodic plagioclase, perthite, quartz, biotite, chloritized biotite, opaque minerals, and minor amounts of apatite and zircon (Fridrich and others, 1998). Previously mapped as Paleoproterozoic Denny Creek Granite (Fridrich and others, 1998), but new U-Pb zircon age of 1,414±20 Ma (Moscati and others, 2017) indicates that this pluton is of Mesoproterozoic age
