Mesozoic Gorkhi Granite in Mongolia

This granite corps out about 50km east of Ulaanbaatar, capital of Mongolia. It is mainly composed of coarse-grained biotite granite, often showing porphyritic texture of K-feldspar phenocryst. It intruded in late Triassic to early Jurassic and its lead radiometric age of zircon is 215±7 Ma. Optical quartz was mined from pegmatite veins in this granite. This photograph was taken at the excursion of East Eurasian Geological Seminar in October, 1998 (see Takahashi's article in this volume). The rock is called“Turtle Rock”because of the shape.
