Compositions of sills and dykes are variable, ranging from dolerite to granodiorite. Alkaline varieties include undersaturated alkali olivine dolerites (analcite-bearing monzogabbro to monzodiorite; Pattison, 1990). The volume of alkaline rocks is uncertain. They are more prevalent in the west (Collinsville Shelf ; dolerite, microsyenite, trachyte and latite), changing to calk-alkaline (dolerite-diorite-granodiorite) in the east and north (Nebo Synclinorium region) Locations from DNRME (2018; Ki and some Ti units) and digitally captured from Pattison (1990). Compiled ages (Webb and McDougall 1964, 1968; Dickins and Malone 1973; S. Marshallsea, cited in Pattison 1990; Allen et al. 1998) include Early (ca. 145?120 Ma) and Late Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma) ages.
