Glacier Point is near foreground; Starr King in distance.

The Altar, Monastery, CO. this rock may be 1.7+ billion years old It is a pegmatite and could have occurred during deep burial and heating so that lighter minerals actually melted and intruded rox about the same original age....OR..the permatites might be from a later magma that intruded the older base rock of CO. I only have an M.S. The minerals are feldspar and quartz and biotite. There is also a lot of tourmaline.

Matthes Crest, Yosemite. Cathedral Range in background. This is unglaciated high-country granite, which should be compared with the rounded, polished domes of Tuoluome Meadows and Yosemite Valley. This rough rock was too high to be smoothed by the glaciers that swept over Fairview Dome, Basket and Half Domes.

City of Rocks, Idaho. Scream Cheese. These granitic rocks have a crust known as "case hardening," which breaks off producing chicken heads, plates, and other edges. See also, my Heuco Tanks photo in the geology album.
