The foliation in gneiss is obvious and consists of alternating bands of light and dark minerals. Geologic unit & age: unit Aqfg of Vuke et al. (2002) - quartzofeldspathic gneiss, Archean, probably 3.1 to 3.2 Ga (= age of peak metamorphism during intrusion of Spanish Peaks area trondhjemites and tonalites; see Kellogg, 1994) Locality: roadcut on the western side of Route 287, north of Ennis Lake & south of the town of Norris, northern Madison County, southwestern Montana, USA (45° 30' 02.06" North latitude, 111° 41' 44.14" West longitude) References cited: Kellogg (1994) - Geologic map of the Norris quadrangle, Madison County, Montana.
