Folded Pilar Formation
The section here is the folded metatuffs of the Pilar formation: "the thicker, white metatuff layers are fine grained and consist largely of plagioclase +  muscovite + phlogopite + K-feldspar with little to no quartz and are folded".  The age is 1.48 billion years.  (see image) Stop 2 of Daniel et al.
