Description

Granite or granodiorite from the Early Cretaceous of California, USA. (~8.8 cm across at its widest)

This is a sample from the extensive Sierra Nevada Batholith of California. The batholith is a suite of intrusive igneous rocks representing old, cooled magma chambers that were originally beneath an ancient chain of subduction zone volcanoes.
