| Name | Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous sedimentary and volcanic rocks |
| Geologic age | Late Cretaceous-Jurassic |
| Original map label | JK |
| Comments | Volcanic rocks include andesite flows, tuff, and breccia with minor dacite and basalt, and minor volcaniclastic sandstone, conglomerate, and siltstone (Barksdale, 1975, Tabor and others, 1993--NOTE: Tabor and others, 1993, does not differentiate between WAJK and WAJKv). Huntting and others, 1961, originally listed"Leech River Group" in the stratigraphy of this unit; obsolete term and now considered part of Lummi and Constitution Formations (Brandon and others, 1988). |
