Friday Field Foto #109: Yosemite granite
April 23, 2010
This week’s Friday Field Foto is from a weekend trip I took last month to Yosemite National Park. I’ve been trying to broaden my photo collection with more than just sedimentary rocks … so today is a close-up of some beautiful Yosemite granite. Now that I think about it, I’m assuming this is granite — if some igneous nerd wants to inform me that this is actually a granodiorite or whatever, please do!
You can see more photos of Yosemite on my Flickr page.

Happy Friday!

Looks like granodiorite or qtz-monzodiorite (K-feldspars < plagioclase feldspars).
BTW, I am not really an igneous nerd :)
It’s Granodiorite. I think. Actually I don’t know (even though am an ‘igneous “nerd”‘).
