Igneous rocks exposed near Hidden Lakes, located in the upper Rock Creek drainage, record complex mingling and contamination between (at least) 3 plutons (Rock Creek Gabbro/Dioite, Chicken Foot Lake Granodiorite, and the Round Valley Granodiorite). Such exposures provide critical field-based insight into our understanding of how magma bodies are emplaced in the Earths crust as well as how batholiths form. However, because such exposures are extremely rare, few studies on these exposures have been completed. The geology of the Hidden Lakes region will be examined in close detail during this project and a geologic map will be completed as a result. My family has enthusiastically agreed to accompany me to SNARL and to the Hidden Lakes area to assist me.
