A 2000-meter thick succession of six metasedimentary and metavolcanic units from Ordovician through Permian age is documented for the Rose Mountain area (105K/05). The dataset correlates units with regional stratigraphy and describes a single major deformation fabric distinct from neighboring areas. It is provided by the Government of Yukon in HTML and PDF formats.
Use Cases
- Correlating local stratigraphic units with regional formations based on described lithologies and correlations.
- Analyzing structural deformation patterns based on the description of a single major fabric versus neighboring areas.
- Assessing potential for stratiform base metal mineralization based on the presence of barite horizons in Unit 4.
- Comparing chert units with those in the Slide Mountain Terrane based on correlations for Unit 5.
Strengths
- Describes a 2000-meter thick stratigraphic succession with six distinct units.
- Provides correlations for units with regional stratigraphy and specific formations like the Mount Christie formation.
- Identifies a unique structural fabric (one major deformation) for the area.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
