Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - Geological mapping (Jensen 1982, 1978, 1971; Jensen and Langford 1985; Jensen and Baker 1986; Johnstone and Steele 1989) indicates that bedrock in the area consists mainly of weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies) basalt, andesite, and dacite of the (Archean) Kinojevis Group which strike northeast, dip steeply, and face south. The boulders occur a few hundred metres south of (ie. down ice from) intercalated flow units of basalt, rhyolite, dacite, and andesite (Jensen 1982, 1978; Baker et al. 1982; McClenaghan et al. 1988, 1987; Steele 1988).
