An igneous complex (large layered mafic intrusion) rich in chromium (mined in many places) and platinum-group metals.
The complex shows many similarities to the Bushveld igneous complex of South Africa.
The Stillwater complex was intruded into existing gneisses during the Archean at about 2.7 Ga. It is exposed across 30 miles (48 km) of the north flank of the Beartooth Mountain Range.
It is a geological heritage site of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).
The cumulate stratigraphy comprises three distinct zones:
- The Basal series consists of a chilled fine-grained gabbro overlain by gabbro, norite, and feldspar pyroxenites. It has a thickness of up to 700 feet (210 m).
- The Ultramafic series is composed of a lower peridotite member (Peridotite zone) consisting of alternating dunite, chromitite, harzburgite, and bronzite pyroxenite. The upper third is massive, monotonous bronzitite (Bronzitite zone). The Ultramafic series averages around 3500 feet (1100 m) in thickness.
- The Banded series is composed of alternating norite, gabbro, and anorthosite. The Banded series has a maximum thickness of 14,000 feet (4300 m).

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Neoarchean : 2701 ± 8 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
