(a) Metasediments.
Metasediments are very rare. The main outcrop east of Diamond Hill consists of about 100 feet of black and white bands of quartz mica schists with interbedded metaquarzite. The surrounding granite passes gradationally into the metasediments and appears to have been formed by metasomatic replacement processes. Two thin discontinuous bands of similar metasediments interleaved in granite occur elsewhere.
