Low-relief rocky meadows and modest forested ridges marked by scattered cinder cones and shields are common landforms in Simcoe Mountains volcanic field. Mount Adams (elevation: 12,276 ft; 3,742 m) is centered 50 km west and 2.8 km higher than foreground meadow (elevation: 2,950 ft.; 900 m); its eruptions began ~520 ka, its upper cone was built in late Pleistocene, and several eruptions have taken place in the Holocene. Signal Peak (elevation: 5,100 ft; 1,555 m), 20 km west of camera, is one of largest and highest eruptive centers in Simcoe Mountains volcanic field; short-lived shield, built around 3.7 Ma, is seven times older than Mount Adams. 2015 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Contents Introductory Overview for Non-Geologists ...............................................................................................1 Introduction.....................................................................................................................................................2 Physiography, Environment, Boundary Surveys, and Access ......................................................6 Previous Geologic

  • Late Mesozoic Or Early Tertiary Melanges in the Western Cascades of Washington
    Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources Bulletin 77, 1987 129 LATE MESOZOIC OR EARLY TERTIARY MELANGES IN THE WESTERN CASCADES OF WASHINGTON Virgil A. Frizzell, Jr. U.S. Geological Survey 2255 North Gemini Flagstaff, Arizona 86001 Rowland W. Tabor Robert E. Zartman Charles D. Blome U.S. Geological Survey U.S. Geological Survey U.S. Geological Survey 345 Middlefield Road Denver Federal Center Denver Federal Center Menlo Park, California 94025 Denver, Colorado 80225 Denver, Colorado 80225 ABSTRACT Marine rocks west of the Straight Creek fault, from Snoqualmie Pass to the Pilchuck River, are highly deformed and varied in lithology. These rocks, referred to various formations or stratigraphic units by earlier workers, should be considered two lithologically distinct melange belts. Immediately west of the Straight Creek fault from the Weden Creek area to Snoqualmie Pass, the discontinuous melange of the eastern belt consists of strongly hornfelsed rocks including chert, metabasalt, graywacke, argiUite, marble, and ultramafic rocks. Marble near Skykomish yields Permian fusu1inids with Tethyan affinities. Zircons from tonalitic gneiss northwest of Skykomish are 190 million years old, and metagabbro near Snoqualmie Pass is 165 million years old. In the western foothills, the melange of the western belt consists of pervasively sheared argillite and graywacke studded with outcrop- to mountain-scale steep-sided phacoids of chert, limestone, pillow basalt, gabbro, and tonalite; ultramafic rocks are rare. Strikes of bedding and cleavage and trends of small fold axes are mostly north-northwest to north-northeast. Rare macrofossils in foliated sedimentary rocks and radiolarians in chert phacoids are Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous in age.

Its northern, or Columbia, Cascade Group (WCG) with comagmatic plutonism in the embayment was filled with volcanic rocks and accreted North Cascades, 50-30 Ma; (2) mixed andesitic and to the continent during the Cenozoic. Wise (1963), silicic volcanism with continuing plutonism of middle following the global tectonics of Carey (1958), WCG, 30-15 Ma; (3) slightly greater silicic than interpreted the spreading pattern of the belt to have andesitic volcanism and plutonism culminating WCG, continuously formed since the Paleozoic in response to 15-5 Ma; and (4) dominantly basaltic volcanism of a regional right-lateral distortion, or megashear, High Cascade Group (HCG), 5-0 Ma. Epizonal plutons which is causing east-west extension in the Basin and form two north-trending belts underlying the northern Ranges and north-south compression in the Columbia part of the range.
