  • Stratigraphy and Depositional History of the Cretaceous Nanaimo Group of the Chemainus Area, British Columbia
    AN ABSTPCT OF THE THESIS OF BEVERLY EDLYN FAHLSTROM for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in GEOLOGY presented on December 1, 1981 Title: STRATIGPMHY AND DEPOSITIONAL HISTORY OF THE CRETACEOUS NANAIMO GROUP CF THE CHEMAINUS AREA, BRITISH COLUMBIA Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy ith F. Oles Rocks of the Nanaimo Group were deposited in the Nanaimo basin, Late Cretaceous basin which occupied part of the southeastern margin of Vancouver Island and which extended almost 200 miles north- west from the San Juan Islands to Campbell River. In the thesis area, low grade metamorphic and volcanic basement rock of the Paleo- zoic Sicker Group is overlain by three formations of the Nanaimo Group: the Haslam, Extension-Protection, and Cedar District Forma- tion. Deposition of the Cretaceous sediments occurred during two depositional cycles, each marked by a sea level rise. The Haslam Formation comprises the upDer fine-grained rocks deposited during the first depositional cycle in a nearshore to offshore marine environment. The Hasiam is believed to overlie the lower coarse-grained rocks of the cycle, the Comox Formation, which is not exposed in the thesis area because of faulting. The second depositional cycle resulted in a transition from nonmarine to nearshore marine sediments of the Extension-Protection Formation to offshore marine deposition of the Cedar District Formation. Coarser clastics of the Extension-Protection Formation were deposited as deltas of short-headed streamswhich projected into a shallow marine environment. Deposition of the Cedar District Formation was in the delta front or pro-delta environment where pen- odic influxes of coarser material, brought in by turbidity currents, resulted in rhythmically bedded sequences.

Big Sicker Mountain is 10 Kilometers northwest of the town of Duncan. Access to the property is by road, from Highway 18 north on Somenos Road, northwest onto the Mt. Prevost road and thence onto a network of old mining and logging roads. It can also be reached from Highway 1, via a turnoff to the west onto a country road, just south of the Chemainus River bridge. Big Sicker Mountain is a little over 700 meters high. For the most part its flanks slope between 10 and 30 degrees and it is densely treed, except for some steep bare cliffs on the east side facing Highway 1.
