Lower Paleozoic calcareous rocks intruded by the Early Cretaceous Glenlyon Batholith. Garnet-biotite and garnet-muscovite-biotite-aluminum silicate quartz geothermobarometry indicates metamorphism to lower amphibolite facies at approximately 700°C and 3 kbar. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon and was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling metamorphic conditions based on geothermobarometry data mentioned in the description
- Analyzing the relationship between batholith intrusion and deformation in country rock
- Mapping skarn unit distribution along intrusive contacts and fault zones
- Studying the thermal and pressure history of the Cassiar Terrane
Strengths
- Specific metamorphic temperature and pressure estimates (approx. 700°C, 3 kbar) are provided
- Geographic focus is clearly defined (Glenlyon map area, south-central Yukon)
- Data originates from a government geological organization
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific map area
