Cordilleran Volcanism, Plutonism, and Magma Generation at Various Crustal Levels, Montana and Idaho
Donald Hyndman, editor 1989 American Geophysical Union Field Trip Guidebook T337

This six-day field trip examines emplacement of late Cretaceous to Eocene felsic magmas at various depths in the crust, from deep continental crust to the earth's surface. The trip is in three parts, each approximately two days long. (1) Idaho baholith: deep plutonic, with no preserved volcanic rocks that are known to be related. (2) Boulder batholith and Elkhorn Mountains Volcanics: shallow plutons, with some preserved volcanic rocks erupted from them. (3) Challis Volcanics: broad volcanic field erupted from calderas, with some exposure of magma-chamber plutons.
