Abstract

The general geology of the Mt. Barney Central Complex is described. This intrusive complex shows close similarity in type to the classic Tertiary ring complexes of Western Scotland and Northern Ireland. In this discussion of the complex, the similarities shown by ring dykes, cone sheets, a forcefully intruded granophyre boss, and a closed ring fault are indicated.
