sample_remark Massive crystalline quartzite outcrops at a number of localities north of Mount Larrie in HAAST BLUFF, most notably as a prominent ridge 6 km west-southwest of Papunya, which extends for 5 km along strike. These outcrops have been assigned to the Inyalinga Granulite of the Yaya Metamorphic Complex (Scrimgeour et al in press). The quartzite appears to be metasedimentary in origin, is clean, coarsely crystalline and is interpreted to have undergone structural repetition. Recessive zones occur in the quartzite ridge, with rare outcrops of calc-silicate rock. At its western end, the quartzite is intruded by the Larrie Granodiorite (1640-1630 Ma Waluwiya Suite). Large rafts of quartzite within Larrie Granodiorite at 788086mE, 7425567mN are interpreted to belong to the Inyalinga Granulite.
