Recent work provides the basis for establishing a stratigraphic column in the Santa Rita Mountains of Santa Cruz and Pima Counties of southeastern Arizona. Thirteen formations of this column are here defined and one is revised. One new formation is a Precambrian granodiorite. Ten new formations are Mesozoic units that include plutonic, volcanic, and continental sedimentary rocks. The revised formation is the Upper Cretaceous Fort Crittenden Formation of Stoyanow (1949), dominantly a sedimentary unit. Two new formations are volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Tertiary age. Many radiometric dates supplement the sparse fossil record in corroborating or redefining the ages that had been assigned to many units on the basis of their geologic relations and in establishing the ages of other units.
Additional title page description: A description of the abundant and locally complex systems of faults, folds, and structurally controlled intrusives and an analysis of their development.
Additional title page description: Descriptive stratigraphy of Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous volcanic and sedimentary rocks.
Additional title page description: Descriptive stratigraphy of more than 20,000 feet of Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous terrestrial volcanic and sedimentary rocks.
Trace elements in alluvium and altered rock, recognized by geologic investigation previously reported, indicate some areas of potential economic interest along faults or near ore-associated intrusives.
