- W38553816 abstract "The paper deals with the detailed physiography, stratigraphy, and structure of a section two miles wide across the White Mountains of California and Nevada. In the study of the detailed problems of this area many of the observations made suggest general relationships involving the White Mountains as a whole. The White Mountains consist of a tilted horst block, raised along marginal faults which separate the range from the relatively depressed graben blocks on either side; Owens Valley on the west, Fish Lake Valley on the east. The range trends northwest-southeast, having an average elevation of 11,000 feet. The area is characterised by extremely rugged topography. The physiographic features include steep, straight, marginal scarps, jagged ridges, precipitous V-shaped valleys, a relatively flat crest area, glacial cirques and moraine covered U-shaped valleys, and giant alluvial cones complicated by faulting and stream rejuvination. Both sedimentary and igneous rocks occur in the area. The sediments include old pre-Cambrian rocks and young quaternary material. The older sediments have been folded, faulted, intruded, and, for the most part, highly metamorphosed. They include conglomerates, quartzites, phyllites, argillites, limestones, dolomites, and schists. The younger sediments consist of coarse, unconsolidated glacial till and stream gravels. The moraines are all above 8,500 feet. The alluvium flanks both sides of the range in the form of alluvial cones. Igneous rocks form a major portion of the area. The intrusives are a part of the Inyo batholith of middle or late Mesozoic. Three principal intrusive types occur in the area; two granites and a quartz-diorite. The intrusives have altered both the attitude and composition of the sediments into which they have risen. The extrusives in the area are all basalt and include pre-Cambrian, Tertiary, and Quaternary flows. The structure of the area is complex. Folding and faulting have played major roles. Examples of both regional and of local drag folding were found. Faulting is evidenced by very numerous faults of widely different extent and displacement. The geologic history of the White Mountains as derived from the area mapped, is essentially that typical of mountains of the Basin and range province." @default.
