Granite is an acidic rock corresponding to rhyolite in chemical composition.
Surface eruption of quartz-porphyry, rhyolite, and andesite.
This is shown in the glaciated rock-surfaces of the rim that are covered with layers of pumice and rhyolite.

There is no question that the rhyolite was deposited in Ely Central after the enrichment of the porphyry.
rhyolite and other forms of lava were last spread over the region.
