The belt includes three felsic shield volcanoes, the Rainbow, Ilgachuz and Itcha ranges as its most notable features, as well as regionally extensive cone fields, lava flows, dyke swarms and a pluton. Volcanic activity took place periodically from the Late Miocene to the Holocene.

  • The Cheslatta Lake Suite: Miocene Mafic, Alkaline Magmatism in Central British Columbia1
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen 697 The Cheslatta Lake suite: Miocene mafic, alkaline magmatism in central British Columbia1 Robert G. Anderson, Jonah Resnick, James K. Russell, G.J. Woodsworth, Michael E. Villeneuve, and Nancy C. Grainger Abstract: New mapping, mineralogical, and geochemical studies help characterize late Tertiary primitive, alkaline, sodic basanite, alkali olivine basalt, transitional basalt, and diabase in the Nechako River, Whitesail Lake, and McLeod Lake map areas of central British Columbia and distinguish the Miocene Cheslatta Lake suite. The suite encompasses scattered erosional remnants of topographically distinct, columnar-jointed, olivine-phyric basalt and diabase volcanic necks, dykes, and associated lava flows north of the Anahim volcanic belt and west of the Pinchi Fault. Volcanic cen- tres at Alasla Mountain and at Cutoff Creek, near Cheslatta Lake, are proposed as type areas. Olivine, plagioclase, and pyroxene phenocrysts, megacrysts, and (or) xenocrysts; common ultramafic xenoliths; and rare but significant plutonic and metamorphic xenoliths are characteristic. Basanite, transitional basalt, and alkali olivine basalt groundmass contain plagioclase, clinopyroxene, Fe-Ti oxides, feldspathoid, olivine, and apatite. The Cheslatta Lake suite is characterized by its alkaline character, olivine-rich (>10 wt.%) normative mineralogy, and silica-undersaturated nature (>1 wt.% norma- tive nepheline; hypersthene-normative rocks are uncommon). Mg numbers vary between 72–42. Some samples encom- pass

    DIsTRIBuTIoN OF THE CHILc0TIN GROUP BASALTS, BRITISH COLUMBIA by JACQUELINE ANNE MARIE DOHANEY B.Sc. (Honours), Carleton University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULLFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER IN SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Geological Sciences) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August, 2009 © Jacqueline Anne Marie Dohaney, 2009 ABSTRACT The Chilcotin Group basalts (CGB) are Oligocene to Late Pleistocene, stratified olivine-phyric basaltic lavas that overlie a large proportion of the Interior Plateau of British Columbia. The distribution of the CGB is poorly understood regionally; the current distribution is based on compilations of previously published geological maps that employ a diverse set of lithostratigraphic definitions of the Group. Exposure of the basalts is typically poor, but the thickest and most extensive sections are exposed in the valley-margins of major rivers (e.g., the Fraser River). This study collates and interprets spatial datasets and reassesses the distribution of the CGB with the intent of producing a new, more robust distribution of the CGB within the Taseko Lakes (0920) and Bonaparte Lake (092P) map areas, with the goal of better characterizing their geological history and physical volcanology. The new distribution map demonstrates several important observations: (1) the distribution of the CGB is less extensive than previous compilations by up to 48%; this implies that, regionally, the CGB is probably significantly over-estimated; (2) there are abundant,

We made several flies over the crater zone of Bezymianny volcano and recorded a series of anomalies (n*10 -8 g/m 3) at the research height of 500 m. These anomalies evidence that Hg emits into atmosphere. We made several flies over the summit crater of Klyuchevskoy volcano (4822 m) at the research height of 600 m above the crater rim. We did not reveal Hg emission. In the meantime several on-board observations over the cinder cones (Bilyukay and Bylinkinoy caused by adventive eruptions and inactive now) allowed detecting a distinct Hg emission at a height of 5-10 m above the crater rim (n*10 -8 g/m 3). We provide data on Hg content in the fluids from the bottom fumaroles of Mutnovsky volcano so that to describe the Hg concentration caused by fumaroles and emitting into atmosphere: 7*10 -5 g/m 3 in gas component and 2*10 -3 g/l in steam condensate. The research in the Mutnovsky block (Mutnovsky and Gorely volcanoes) aimed at revealing the relationship between seismic activity (mantle depth 70-300 km), volcanic activity and the emission intensity of Hg-bearing fluids evidences on mantle level of Hg degassing in this block.

While the last eruptive activity in the area dates to 7200 BP, an earthquake swarm in 2007 was in all likelihood the result of magma injection into the lower crust. Initial exploration into a possible deeply- circulating/volcanic geothermal system associated with the volcano has revealed geothermal manifestations such as travertine mounds, both fossil and actively forming, and vigorous CO2 degassing (up to 14% concentration in the diluted, diffuse gas) from various vents in two bogs near Nazko Cone. Chemical analyses of the gases collected in pre-evacuated Giggenbach-style bottles indicate that CO2 is the dominant species with minor amounts of CH4 and He (< 1 wt %) (Alterra Power, pers.

  • Evolving Geographic Patterns of Cenozoic Magmatism in the North
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 96, NO. B8, PAGES 13,201-13,224, JULY 30, 1991 EvolvingGeographic Patterns of CenozoicMagmatism in the North American Cordillera: The Temporaland Spatial Association of Magmatism and MetamorphicCore Complexes RICHARD LEE ARMSTRONG Departmentof GeologicalSciences, University of British Columbia,Vancouver, Canada U.S. Geological Survey,Menlo Park, California Four maps are presentedhere that show the location and extent of magmaticfields between eastern Alaska and northernMexico during the successivetime intervalsof 55-40, 40-25, 25-10, and 10-0 Ma, and four others show the distributionof metamorphiccore complexesduring the same Cenozoic time intervals. The maps are based on U.S. Geological Survey and Canadian Cordilleran data bases contining about 6000 isotopic dates and extensive literature review. For nearly 60 Ma the developmentof metamorphiccore complexeshas coincided with the locus of areally extensive and voluminousintermediate-composition magmatic fields. The associationis suggestiveof a close link betweenmagmatism and core complexformation, namely that magma directly and indirectly lowers the strengthof the crust. Magmatism thus controlsthe location and timing of core complex formation. The stressesresponsible may be inherited from Mesozoic crustal thickening,locally createdby uplift and magmatic thickeningof the crust, and imposedby the global pattern of plate motions and driving forces. Since the Miocene, rates of magmatism,extension, and core complex formation have declined. The modern Basin and Range province is not a suitable model for the situation that existed during major magmatic culminations. The singular event of early Miocene time, the merging of two large magmatic fields, extinguishing the Laramide magmatic gap, explains several disconnected observations:the hyperextensionepisode of the ColoradoRiver corridor, rapid reorientationof stress patternsacross much of westernNorth America, and subsequentrapid tectonicmovements in California.
