Between the two zones is the Missouri Gravity Low, or MGL, a mass of low density granite including the Missouri batholith up to 370 miles long and 60 miles wide, identified in gravity surveys. Igneous activity ended around 1.3 billion years ago, with the intrusion of numerous dikes and sills into newly crystallized rhyolite and granite.
Geologic map of the St. Francois Mountain region. The St. Francois Mountains were formed by volcanic and intrusive activity 1.485 billion (1.485 x 10 9) years ago. [6] By comparison, the Appalachians started forming about 460 million years ago, and the Rockies a mere 140 million years ago.
