Apr 11, 2016 (A Wilson) - The gabbro is generally a homogeneous very dark bluish gray colour, very heavy and massive with crystal sizes ranging from 3mm. to 6mm. It consists of, on the basis of a cursory examination: 50% of a dark blue gray amphibole ,approximately 25% of a dark green translucent amphibole, occasional 15% plagioclase and 10% quartz forming a hard interlocking matrix. The larger outcrops of this rock tend to form hummocky ridges trending along the strike of major fracturing (110º and occasionally at right angles to this.) The gabbro is part of the Tennyson Sill which is one of the suites of rock that encompass the East Bull Lake intrusive suite. The tonalite is part of the Ramsey-Algoma Granitoid Suite
