Basement Complex:
Basement Complex:
Rocks belonging to the basement complex constitute most of the Taylor Valley. Like the Koettlitz area they consist of schists, quartzites, marbles and granitic rocks of uncertain age (probably Pre-Cambrian), which are cut by numerous acid and lamprophyric dikes and sills. Three belts of northerly-striking rocks occur, separated from one another by granitic masses.
