- Summary:
- ""The Catalina-Rincon Mountains metamorphic core complex is one of the original type localities of Cordilleran metamorphic core complexes in western North America. In this volume, the authors provide a thorough accounting of the evolution of this shear zone by integrating and synthesizing decades of previous research with new mapping, structural data, and geochronological analyses"-- Provided by publisher.
