geological OLO GidAL HISTORY the great mountain building 3 arces so active dur during ln 6 the close ta 4 of the tertiary age worked on a scale along the J portion of the mt baldy range rn the quartzite bed jing ding capped with limestone was vas profoundly fissured folded and and faulted so great was the last named occurrence currance oe oc that the Y quartzite and limestone entirely disappeared under the more recent eruptive rock masses to the east 0 of f the sevier fault see accompanying compa nying map and left the quartzite and fini limestone estone in the form of a lofty precipice known as the deer trail escarpment to the southwest of marysvale Marys vale prom from those yawning M fissures enormous masses of rhyolite and birdseye birds eye porphyry oozed up from the earths melted interior and formed mountain masses abou thousands ands of f i edi deep again the unstable crust quivered with intense seismic forces the old and but partially healed wounds were opened and new fissures formed in the overlying eruptive mass and great dykes of highly mineralized porphyry now mark the location and direction of those ancient rents rems the brief period of com comparative ara quiet which succeeded succeed es the previous disturbances was broken by an another 0 afier uplift 0 of the range and al along long the central portion extends extending ll 11 g from gold mountain south a distance 0 of toil ten miles a great reat fissure was formed from the surface stir face down to the region of liquid fire tho the mighty dorco which split the northern portion of tho the mt baldy rau raue range e also formed lateral fissures ris extending easterly ea and westerly xe sterly from the great cheat ee central litral rent those fissures became lines of basei easement hent for the vast mass of magma seeking egress and f from roin molten depths the hot gaseous mud fladwed upward and formed great dykes of phonolite which today cheerily I 1 clinks under the feet of an occasional prospector while the eruption of the phonolite marks the last ous throes of nature in the mt baldy region subsequent local na suring of the phonolite occurred and an d in connection with oth other ev r fissures already formed became beca me ine channels for the upward and catteral lat teral how flow of gold and sil ver verbo bearing arina 0 solutions extinct craters fields of dark colored tra chite ridges of volcanic breccia dykes and chimneys 0 of f obsidian in the phonolite prove that local volcanic yol canic forces were continued over a ion long period after the widespread widespread wide spread p read eruptive activity had ceased THE PRESENT AND FUTURE geological rd conditions in evidence dence w along the northern portion of the baldy range 11 should
