ABSTRACT The Bodie mining district, located in the northeastern part of Mono County, California, was the source of gold and silver valued at more than $34,000,000 between 1860 and 1942. The district is underlain by volcanic rocks, including flows, plugs, ond pyroclostic deposits, principolly of dacitic composition. The oldest rocks ore those of the Silver Hill Volcanic Series, which consists of lovo flows, plugs, ond tuff breccio with minor layers of welded tuff. This sequence is overloin unconformably by lava flows and pyroclostic deposits of the Murphy Spring Tuff Breccia, which, in the southern part of the district, ore intruded by several plugs of porphyritic dacite. Flows and pyroclostic deposits of the Potato Peak Formation unconformobly lie upon units of the Silver Hill Volcanic Series in the northern port of the district. Investigotions of the geochronology of the rocks of the Bodie mining district, using the K-Ar method, indicate that the several units of the Silver Hill Volcanic Series were emplaced 8.6 to 9.4 m.y. ago and, furthermore, that they ore o locol phase of on extensive suite of colc-olkaline volcanic rocks (including bosalt, ondesite, docite, and rhyolite) that were erupted 7.8 to 9.5 my. ago in the region surrounding the Bodie mining district. Volconism ceased in the district and in the region surrounding it, following ore deposition in the district, and did not resume until 5 m.y. ago, when rhyolite plugs intruded rocks of docitic composition west of the district.
