    was observed to be igneous rock, with evidence of batholith, an igneous specific type of intrusion that spans for miles at a time. This is evident in figure 8. Various minerals and a grainy texture were also observed. Because of this, and identification of minerals such as quartz, as observed in figure 6, and orthoclase, in figure 9, this rock was concluded to be the igneous rock, granite.
