stratigraphic_unit muscovite granite dyke intruding George R pluton
geological_province Northeast Tasmania Element
sample_remark McClenaghan & Higgins (1993): Muscovite granite dyke intruded into the George River pluton (K-Ar age 397 +/- 4 Ma. In the St Helens Head area, the George River pluton is intruded by this and similar dykes which only occur in that body. Dolerite dykes are spread widely throughout eastern Tasmania and the Furneaux Group of islands, intrude many of the plutons, and are particularly common in the Gardens and Poimena plutons. The dykes have been inferred to be of similar Devonian age to the granitoids, as on Flinders Island a dolerite dyke is crossed by a quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke (pers comm. P. W. Baillie and N. J. Turner, 1984) assumed to be comagmatic with the other granitoids.
