Paleoproterozoic
1600 - 2500 Ma



ID: 2790907
Quartzite

Age: Proterozoic (1600 - 2500 Ma)

Description: Maroon but locally white, gray, and red quartzite (quartz arenite) with a basal quartzose conglomerate. At Flambeau Ridge (Chippewa County) consists of conglomerate. Distinguished from other quartzite units in being strongly deformed and metamorphosed. Includes Flambeau, Rib Mountain, McCaslin, and Thunder Mountain Quartzites of local usage
