Three events of Paleoproterozoic deformation are documented in schist of the Fairchild Lake Group in the Wernecke Mountains. Pressure-temperature conditions for the first event are estimated between 3-6 kbar and 450-550°C. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon and was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Correlate deformation events with other orogenies based on the described features
- Analyze pressure-temperature conditions of chloritoid ± garnet porphyroblastic schist
- Study the sequence of deformation events relative to the 1.60 Ga Wernecke Breccia
Strengths
- Pressure-temperature estimates (3-6 kbar, 450-550°C) are provided for the first deformation event
- Three distinct deformation events are described with specific mineralogical and structural features
- Correlation is made with the Fifteenmile and Forward Orogenies
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific map areas
