Relatively unstrained Devonian-Mississippian volcanic rocks document a five-unit stratigraphy in the Money Creek thrust sheet. A published 360.5 ± 1 Ma U-Pb date establishes the age of volcanism, while later intrusion by Simpson Range Plutonic Suite rocks indicates a younger pulse of magmatism. This dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon.
Use Cases
- Correlate volcanic stratigraphy based on documented subaerial and subaqueous mafic and felsic units.
- Analyze magmatic timing based on published U-Pb dates and magma-mingling relationships.
- Validate or refute regional tectonic correlations based on field characteristics, age, and geochemistry.
- Study intrusive relationships based on Simpson Range Plutonic Suite rocks metamorphosing the volcanic sequence.
Strengths
- A published 360.5 ± 1 Ma U-Pb date provides a precise age anchor.
- Description details a five-unit volcanic stratigraphy with subaerial and subaqueous components.
- Data is sourced from the authoritative Government of Yukon.
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 open_canada.
