Abstract
Ophiolitic rocks of the southwest Sierra Nevada foothills form part of the western metamorphic wall of the Sierra Nevada batholith (fig. 1). Geochronological studies were undertaken to determine: (1) The igneous petrogenetic age of the ophiolite; (2) The age of a prebatholith dynamic greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphic event experienced by the ophiolite; and (3) The emplacement ages of the batholithic rocks. Geochronological work was interfaced with detailed structural and petrologic studies. A summary of the geochronological data is given in figure 2.
