Comments | Eagle Mtn Quartzite in southeastern Stevens County; difficult to distiguish from Addy or Colville Quartzites. The rest of this unit makes up part of the Tenas Mary Creek and Kettle metamorphic core complexes (see also WAPZu). Because both this unit and WAPZu contribute to these metamorphic complexes, they are likely to be of similar age. Very vague ages are reported for this unit, however (see age coding), thus the age range is very large. |
Stratigraphic units | Eagle Mtn Quartzite; Grand Fork Schist |
