Two developments emerge from the data reported here that are especially significant. Two granites, one from the Mazatzal Mountains east of Phoenix and one from the Santan Mountains southeast of Phoenix, yielded dates between 1630 and 1640 Ma. This is unusually young for early Proterozoic granites in Arizona, although two granites in the Maricopa Mountains southwest of Phoenix have yielded similar dates (Eisele and Isachsen, in review; Joe Wooden, written communication, 1998). Possi­ bly, these dated granites are part of a belt of similar-age granites that roughly occupy the boundary between Pi­ nal Schist on the southeast and metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Tonto Basin Supergroup to the northwest (Conway and Silver, 1989; Reynolds and Dewitt, 1991).

  • Structural Evolution of the Mcdowell Mountains Maricopa County
    Structural Evolution of the McDowell Mountains Maricopa County, Arizona by Brad Vance A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved November 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Stephen Reynolds, Chair Steven Semken Edmund Stump ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2012 ABSTRACT The accretion of juvenile island-arc lithosphere by convergent tectonism during the Paleoproterozoic, in conjunction with felsic volcanism, resulted in the assembly, ductile to partial brittle deformation, uplift, and northwest-directed thrusting of rocks in the McDowell Mountains region and adjacent areas in the Mazatzal Orogenic belt. Utilizing lithologic characteristics and petrographic analysis of the Proterozoic bedrock, a correlation to the Alder series was established, revising the stratigraphic sequences described by earlier works. The central fold belt, composed of an open, asymmetric syncline and an overturned, isoclinal anticline, is cut by an axial-plane parallel reactivated thrust zone that is intruded by a deformed Paleoproterozoic mafic dike. Finite strain analyses of fold geometries, shear fabrics, foliations, fold vergence, and strained clasts point to Paleoproterozoic northwest-directed thrusting associated with the Mazatzal orogen at approximately 1650 million years ago. Previous studies constrained the regional P-T conditions to at least the upper andalusite-kyanite boundary at peak metamorphic conditions, which ranged from 4-6 kilobars and 350-450⁰ Celsius, although the plasticity of deformation in a large anticlinal core suggests that this represents the low end of the P-T conditions. Subsequent to deformation, the rocks were intruded by several granitoid plutons, likely of Mesoproterozoic age (1300-1400 Ma). A detailed analysis of Proterozoic strain solidly places the structure of the McDowell Mountains within the confines of the Mazatzal Orogeny, pending any contradictory geochronological data.

  • Vegetation and Flora of the Mcdowell Sonoran Preserve, Maricopa County, Arizona
    VEGETATION AND FLORA OF THE MCDOWELL SONORAN PRESERVE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA Steve Jones and Chelsey Hull McDowell Sonoran Conservancy 16345 N. Scottsdale Rd. Suite 110 Scottsdale, AZ 85254 ABSTRACT This study is part of an effort to establish a baseline assessment of the biotic condition of the City of Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The study area is in northeastern Scottsdale and includes the McDowell Mountain range and areas to the north of the range. In total, 379 taxa in 61 families were identified between February 2011 and September 2013. The McDowell Sonoran Conservancy's Field Institute trained volunteer citizen scientists to participate in collecting specimens for the study. Seedbank samples were collected and cultivated in a greenhouse to simulate a wet spring season. Plant families with the largest presence in the preserve include Asteraceae (65 taxa), Poaceae (49), Fabaceae (19), Boraginaceae (22), and Cactaceae (17). Major biotic communities were identified and described. INTRODUCTION In 1995 and 2004, the citizens of the City of Scottsdale approved taxation mechanisms for funding the purchase of the McDowell Mountains and surrounding lands. As the land was assembled, the City designated it the McDowell Sonoran Preserve (MSP). Assemblage of the preserve is ongoing. This study is part of a larger baseline assessment of the biotic condition of the MSP, and of land under consideration for addition to the MSP. Assessments of arthropods, reptiles, birds and mammals were undertaken at roughly the same time. The studies were organized under the auspices of the McDowell Sonoran Field Institute (MSFI), the research center of the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy (MSC).
