Summary:

Raggedy Mountain Gabbro Group. Layered and laminated rocks composed chiefly of diallage gabbro, anorthosite, olivine gabbro, troctolite, and quartz diorite. Uppermost 1,000 feet exposed in Wichita Mountains; as much as 8,000 feet has been drilled in one well without reaching base. Intrusive equivalent of Navajoe Mountain Basalt-Spilite Group (new). Intruded by Wichita Granite Group (new); intrudes Tillman Metasedimentary Group (new) as a concordant lens. Age is Early(?) Cambrian based on Rb-Sr age of 535 Ma.
