Summary:
Pg. 66. The batholith which forms core of northern Inyo Range is composed chiefly of 2 granites which are designated Pellisier and Boundary Peak granites. The Pellisier is of variable composition and texture, but may be described as hornblende granite with monzonitic tendencies. The Boundary Peak granite, of more uniform appearance and composition, contains no hornblende and has a lower percentage of other ferromagnesian minerals. [Age and derivation of names not stated.]
