| Comments | The Fidalgo group is located on the San Juan Islands; the Ingalls Tectonic Complex is located in central Washington and makes up the bulk of this unit. The Ingalls Tectonic Complex represents an ophiolite with facies grading from greenschist and zeolitic (prehnite-pumpellyite) to hornfels at its contact with the Mt. Stuart batholith (Tabor and others, 1982, 1987). Dragovich and others, 2002, reports that most of this unit is metamorphosed to talc-, tremolite-, or anthophyllite-bearing rock near plutons to silica-carbonate rock near faults. The referenced literature does not specify facies for each lithology, but I would assume that all of the above grades can be applied to almost all the lithologies though relative quantities of each lithology and facies combination are unknown; hence I do not specify facies in the lithology coding. |
