The degree of alteration increases systematically with age and inferred depth of burial in Upper Cretaceous strata, and is uniformly great in Lower Cretaceous strata that were buried from 20,000 to 30,000 feet. Laumontite is characteristic of thoroughly altered Lower Cretaceous rocks. Other metamorphic assemblages may be widespread at higher and lower horizons. This content is PDF only.
