Conway granite near where it is mined. The Old Man of the Mountain, a famous geologic feature in New Hampshire (which collapsed in 2003) was made of Conway granite. The formation is found throughout the lower areas of the central White Mountains, such as Franconia Notch, Crawford Notch, the center of the Pemigewasset Wilderness, and the Saco River valley. Other exposures of the formation include the Belknap Mountains south of Lake Winnipesaukee. Conway granite Conway granite is a typically pink mineral-rich igneous (or mesoperthitic) biotite granite. It is amphibole-free and of coarse particle size (with portions of the rock fine-grained or porphyritic).
A-type granite magnesium. There are lower levels of calcium and strontium. By using Ga/Al ratio, fractionated felsic I or S-type granites can overlap in apparent composition. Enriched alkalis include sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium. Other depleted elements include barium, phosphorus, titanium and europium. Subtypes include A, anorogenic, derived from ocean island basalt; and A post-orogenic, derived by crustal melting or crust and mantle mixing. The source could be dry granulite left over from the loss of wet magma during orogenies. A-type granite A-type granites are a class of granite. They are characterised by low water and a lack of tectonic fabric. A
