Aplite dikes in the Cretaceous of California, USA. Igneous dikes are planar to irregularly-planar igneous intrusions that cut across country rocks.

The whitish-colored dikes shown above are composed of aplite, which is a finely-crystalline rock of granitic composition. Locality: Twin Lakes overlook, Sierra Nevada Mountains, southwestern Mono County, eastern California, USA |
