| Comments | Outcrops in Okanogan County are mostly metasedimentary rocks, including metawacke, metalimestone, metadolostone, metasiltite, meta-argillite, and metaconglomerate, as well as black slate, phyllite, gneiss, schist, quartzite, amphibolite, and greenstone; outcrops near Spokane consist of phyllite, metalimestone, quartzite, and metasiltite, with alteration to calc-silicate rocks, schist, marble, and hornfels (Stoffel and others, 1991). Tonalite and gabbro in San Juan Islands and possibly in Chelan County (Brandon, 1989) |
