Sandia Granite with xenolith

Summary

edit
Description
English: This image shows an outcrop of the Sandia batholith near its southern margin in Tijeras Canyon, New Mexico, USA. The Sandia Granite was emplaced 1453 million years ago, during the Mazatzal Orogeny. The outcrop here is almost pristine, showing little sign of deformation after crystallization, and it contains a mafic xenolith (the dark patch of rock) either incorporated as country rock or as injected mafic magma that has not mixed with the main magma body.
