The Spuhler Peak Metamorphic Suite consists of a thick sequence of Archean metamorphic rocks, dominated by amphibolite, orthoamphibole-garnet gneiss, and hornblende gneiss and containing minor quantities of quartzite, aluminous schist, quartzofeldspathic gneiss, and meta-ultramafic rocks. Although the Spuhler Peak Metamorphic Suite represents less than 3% of Precambrian exposures in the Tobacco Root Mountains, it has been recognized as a unique suite in the region, due in large part to the unusually abundant amphibolite and the spectacular appearance of the orthoamphibole-garnet gneisses.

An unusual zircon SHRIMP dating result of a granitic gneiss from the Qinglongshan eclogite-gneiss roadcut section is presented in this paper. The very peculiar and complicated internal structures, as well as the very low Th/U ratios (0.01-0.08) of the zircons indicate that they were formed by metamorphic recrystallization. Strongly in contrast with previously published zircon U-Pb ages of the Dabie-Sulu UHP metamorphic rocks where protolith ages of 600-800 Ma are commonly recorded, only metamorphic age of 218+5 Ma, defined by 18 analytical spots either in rim or in core of zircons, are recorded in this granitic gneiss. This age represents the time of the complete metamorphic recrystallization overprint on primary magmatic zircons. The recrystallization was derived by the UHP metamorphism,and was strengthened by the early stage of retrograde metamorphic fluid activity.

The very peculiar and complicated internal structures, as well as the very low Th/U ratios (0.01–0.08) of the zircons indicate that they were formed by metamorphic recrystallization. Strongly in contrast with previously published zircon U‐Pb ages of the Dabie‐Sulu UHP metamorphic rocks where protolith ages of 600–800 Ma are commonly recorded, only metamorphic age of 218±5 Ma, defined by 18 analytical spots either in rim or in core of zircons, are recorded in this granitic gneiss. This age represents the time of the complete metamorphic recrystallization overprint on primary magmatic zircons.

Historically, the lack of primary perme- ability in crystalline rocks of the Piedmont physio- graphic province of Georgia was believed to result in low ground-water yields. However, focused study of lithology, foliations, and fractures in crystalline rocks in the vicinity of the city of Conyers, Rockdale County, Georgia, shows that geologic controls can contribute to high well yields in these rocks. Although surface geologic mapping indicates that the Conyers area primarily is underlain by granite gneiss, borehole video images show that subsurface lithology is an interlayered granite gneiss and biotite gneiss. Preferential weathering of the biotite gneiss is a significant factor controlling well yield. Most of the yield in each of the two wells studied is from openings along lithologic contacts between the granite gneiss and biotite gneiss, or from openings along compositional layering within the biotite gneiss. The biotite gneiss is thin at land surface, but distinctive enough to be mapped. This geologic unit could be useful for identifying high-yielding areas within the granite gneiss.

Abstract The Older Metamorphic Group and the Older Metamorphic Tonalite Gneiss are classic examples of Palaeaoarchaean high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Singhbhum Craton of India. The Older Metamorphic Group is a supracrustal assemblage that was probably deposited as a greenstone belt-type succession before c. 3.32 Ga, the low-grade equivalents of which are found in parts of the Iron Ore Group. The Older Metamorphic Tonalite Gneiss represents a suite of granitoids that are tectonically interleaved with the supracrustal gneisses and that formed over an extended period of time, 3.53–3.45 Ga and possibly later, by processes of Archaean crustal growth.
