    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF WESLEY EARLYNNE FRANKLIN for the degree Master of Science (Name of student) (Degree) in Geology presented on November 22, 1974 (Major department) (Date) Title: STRUCTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF META-IGNEOUS FRAGMENTS IN THE PRAIRIE MOUNTAIN AREA, NORTH CASCADE RANGE, SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON Abstract approved by: Redacted for privacy Dr. Robert ID. Lawrence The interrelationship of rock assemblages in the Prairie Mountain area suggests that a Permo-Triassic subduction zone existed in the western North Cascades.The2fsquare mile rneta- igneous complex in the thesis area correlates with other tectonic bodies which occur west of the Straight Creek Fault.The rocks are uniquely associated with thrust faulting, a blueschist terrane and a possible melange of deformed Late Paleozoic sediments and meta- sediments.In the Prairie Mountain area the meta.- igneous rocks were emplaced by thrust and high-angle reversefaults into the Late Paleozoic Chilliwack Group.The meta-igneous rocks are metadio- rites, meta- quartz diorites, metatrondlijemites, mylonite gneis ses, rare greenstone metavoLcanic s and metamorphosed ultramafi.c s. Though the rocks were metamorphosed to the greenschist facies, only locally do they display a strong metamorphic fabric. A weak secondary cataclastic overprint resulting from ucoldtt intrusion is superimposed on the meta-igneous rocks. The meta-igneous rocks possibly represent fragments of island arc crust and/or oceanic crust that were incorporated into a Permo- Triassic subductj.on zone from a position

    Wildlife Program – Bi-weekly Report August 1 to August 15, 2020 DIVERSITY DIVISION HERE’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP: 1) Managing Wildlife Populations Fishers: Fisher reintroduction project partners from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the National Park Service, Conservation Northwest, Calgary Zoo, and United States Forest Service recently initiated a genetic analysis of fishers to predict the effect of augmenting ten new fishers to Olympic National Park. One main goal of the analysis is to determine how the success of the augmentation could differ depending on whether the fishers came from British Columbia versus; two genetically different source-populations. Using existing genotypes from British Columbia and Alberta fishers, this analysis will provide insights into the best source population of fishers to use for the planned augmentation to the Olympic National Park, where 90 fishers from British Columbia were reintroduced from 2008 to 2010. A 2019 genetic analysis of fishers on the Olympic Peninsula (based on hair samples collected at baited hair-snare and camera stations from 2013-2016) indicated that genetic diversity of the Olympic fisher population had declined slightly and would be expected to decline further in the future, which could put that population at risk. An augmentation of new fishers could restore this genetic diversity and this new analysis of the effects of releasing more British Columbia versus Alberta fishers into this population will help us decide the best source population and the best implementation approach. 2) Providing Recreation Opportunities Nothing for this installment. 3) Providing Conflict Prevention and Education Nothing for this installment. 4) Conserving Natural Areas Nothing for this installment.

Table 2: Habitat characteristics where mountain goats were observed 5 Distribution and Abundance of Mountain Goats within the Ross Lake Watershed, North Cascades National Park Service Complex Introduction Mountain goats (Oreamnus americanus) are native to northwestern North America and can be found throughout the North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA). Their habitat requirements are quite specific and suitable habitat is patchily distributed across the landscape. During a11 seasons, mountain goat habitat is characterized by steep, rocky terrain. Summer habitat is generally above 1525 m (5000 ft) elevation, and features rock outcrops in or near subalpine meadows and forest (Welch, 1991; Holmes, 1993; Schoen and Kirchoff, 1981; NCASI, 1989; Chadwick, 1983; Benzon and Rice, 1988). Many mountain goat populations in Washington have declined during the last 20 years. Although specific causes have not been identified, several factors may have contributed to the regional decline.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF PETER TREADWELL MILNES for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on October 22, 1976 Title: STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY AND METAMORPHIC PETROLOGY OF THE ILLABOT PEAKS AREA, SKAGIT COUNTY, WASHINGTON Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Dr. Robert Lawrence The Illabot Peaks area is composed of several essentially homo- clinal eastward dipping thrust blocks of Shuksan Schist which are comprised of olivine-free calc-alkaline basalt that has been meta- morphosed under greenschist to blueschist facies conditions.The structurally lower portions of the Shuksan Schist are occupied by a soda amphibole-bearing rock that probably originated from intercala- tions of high Po and high ferric iron content.The blocks of Shuksan 2 Schist rest upon ductile mega-shear zones of lower greenschist facies quartz-muscovite-graphite phyllite that have been tentatively corre- lated with the Darrington Phyllite.The Shuksan Schist and Darrington Phyllite, forming the Shuksan metamorphic suite, were syntecton- ically metamorphosed in the late Permian to early Triassic.The primary foliation, the amphibole lineations, and the intrafolial F 1 folds were formed at this time. The blocks of Shuksan Schist were emplaced during the Middle to early Late Cretaceous by movements on the large displacement Shuksan thrust.The thrust system in the Illabot Peaks area dips in a concave upward manner tothe east, has a large westward displace- ment, and is highly imbricated.Small lenticular pods of brecciated blueschist fragments and meta-igneous basement rock slivershave been tectonically emplaced along the margins of the thrust.The blueschist pods, retrogressively metamorphosed, are possibleindi- cators of a rock unit at depth of a higher faciesthan the typical Shuksan Schist.

  • Dr. Robert D. Lawrence the Thesis Area Is Located in the Western Foothills of the North Three Major Rock Units Are Present and T
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF David Allen Jenne for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on March 15,1978 Title:STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY AND METAMORPHIC PETROLOGY OF THE GOLD MOUNTAIN AREA SNOHOMISH COUNTY WASHINGTON d' Abstract approved: Signature redacted for privacy. Dr. Robert D. Lawrence The thesis area is located in the western foothills of the North Cascade Mountains immediately east of Darrington, Washington. Three major rock units are present and these include, from west to east, the Darrington Phyllite, a sedimentary m1ange unit, and the Shuksan Schist.Each of these units is bounded by major faults.In the present thesis only the Darrington Phyllite and the melange unit were studied in detail. The Darrington Phyllite consists of phyllitic metapelites with very local interbedded graywacke, conglomerate, and greenschist. The phyllites contain alternating layers of quartz-albite and musco- vite-graphite.In some rocks, this compositional layering is equiva- lent to sedimentary bedding.However, in most locations,it has resulted from metamorphic processes involving the transposition of bedding and metamorphic differentiation during mimetic recrystal- lization. Greenschist is present as tectonically emplaced blocks and as very local interbeds in the phyllite.Along the western margin of the thesis area, greenschist and meta-igneous rocks have been faulted into place.These rocks probably are part of the Jumbo Mountain Complex. The interbedded greenschists contain lawsonite that has been altered to chlorite.This suggests that blueschist.-facies meta- morphism was followed by a temperature increase and greenschist- facies metamorphism. The mlange unit consists of blocks of sedimentary, meta- igneous, and metamorphic rocks in tectonic contact with a sheared pelitic matrix.
