| Name | Carboniferous and Permian volcanic rocks |
| Geologic age | Devonian to Permian; Triassic in Asotin County |
| Original map label | PMPmv |
| Comments | Doyle Creek Formation, Wild Sheep Creek Formation and Coon Hollow Formation located in southeastern Asotin County; this area also includes a small outcrop of unmetamorphosed to slightly metamorphosed granodiorite, quartz diorite, and gabbro (Schuster and others, 1997) and is consolidated under "plutonic" in the lithology coding along with possible gabbro and diorite in the Chilliwack Group. |
| Primary rock type | greenstone |
| Secondary rock type | andesite |
| Other rock types | chert; argillite; basalt; limestone; graywacke; keratophyre; black shale; conglomerate; plutonic rock (phaneritic) |
| Lithologic constituents | Major
Metamorphic > Greenstone (Zeolitic (prehnite-pumpellyite))Pillow basalt, breccia, tuff, and flow in Hozomeen Group; breccia and tuff in Chilliwack Group. Includes metabasalt in Asotin County. Partly metamorphosed to prehnite-pumpellyite facies in Hozomeen Group. Minor
Igneous > Volcanic > Mafic-volcanic > Andesite (Volcaniclastic, volcanic breccia)Primarily outcrops in Okanogan County; some andesite in Chilliwack Formation. Also includes andesite flow and tuff in subordinate amounts. Incidental
Igneous > PlutonicIncludes granodiorite, quartz diorite, and gabbro in Asotin County; possibly gabbro and diorite in Chilliwack Group. Sedimentary > Clastic > Conglomerate (Bed)Limited to Asotin County. Sedimentary > Clastic > Mudstone > Shale > Black-shale (Bed)Limited to Coon Hollow Formation. Metamorphic > MetavolcanicIncludes keratophyre in Asotin County. Sedimentary > Clastic > Sandstone > Graywacke (Bed) Sedimentary > Carbonate > Limestone (Bed)Possibly minor in rank (occurs in Hozomeen Group and outcrops in Asotin and Stevens Counties). Igneous > Volcanic > Mafic-volcanic > Basalt (Flow) Metamorphic > ArgillitePossibly minor in rank. May be partly metamorphosed to prehnite-pumpellite facies in Hozomeen Group but occurs associated with greenstone throughout unit. Sedimentary > Chemical > Chert (Bed)Possibly minor in rank; occurs primarily in Hozomeen Group. |
