Text Description:	Undifferentiated plugs and small intrusive bodies - Chiefly dacite in composition and probably related to second-cycle activity, but many outcrops high on Mount Drum were not visited. Dacitic rocks are light to medium gray with plagioclase, hornblende, and minor biotite and hypersthene phenocrysts in a felty to trachytic groundmass. One intrusive rhyodacite (sec. 29, T4N, R4E) is light buff gray and contains plagioclase and rare hornblende phenocrysts in a feldspar-rich pilotaxitic groundmass.
