Abstract

The Precambrian rocks on Dry Mountain have been previously mapped by Davis (1983) and Witkind (1985) as Farmington Canyon Complex, found in the Wasatch Mountains near Farmington, Utah. Bryant in 1986 said that these rocks were “probably Farmington Canyon Complex” (FCC). This study was conducted to either prove or disprove a correlation between these rocks and the FCC. To do this, the complex itself had to be described by completing a deformation, pressure, temperature and time (D-P-T-t) study on its rocks. It may then be compared to other Precambrian rocks in Utah and Arizona.
