Summary:
Name Standing Boy Quartz Diorite of North Columbus Gneiss Complex is credited to Bentley and others (in press). Unit is described here as massive dioritic gneiss, folded stromatic migmatitic gneiss, and well-foliated augen and flaser gneisses. North Columbus [first used here] was upper part of Uchee Complex (not used in this report) and also includes Smith's Road Exit Gneiss and Double Churches Gneiss [both first used]. Unit dominates most of north Columbus, west-central GA, and extends into east-central AL. Age of unit is not stated, but assumed by reviewer to be Late Proterozoic and early Paleozoic.

Summary:
This name has never been formally proposed. Since 1970, it has been credited in all reports to Bentley (in press), The geology of Lee County, Alabama. Unfortunately, the Lee County report was never published. Supposedly there is a 1971 Alabama Geological Survey open-file report by Bentley, Neathery, and Scott that deals with the geology and mineral resources of Lee County. This report, however, is unavailable for review.
