Precambrian volcanic rocks (WApCAv;0)

Mostly homogenous schistose greenstone; in places massive, mottled, and containing conspicuous calcite and epidote. Tuffaceous chlorite schist in upper part in northern Pend Oreille County. Amphibolite and plagioclase amphibolite in Little Pend Oreille Lakes district. Massive to sheared or schistose greenstone with dark-green ovoid spots; agglomeratic and amygodaloidal in places; sheared pillows near Blue Creek, central Stevens County; minor intrusive phase and probable center of eruption west of Finch magnesite quarry; central to southwestern Stevens County.

State	Washington
Name	Precambrian volcanic rocks
Geologic age	Late-Proterozoic
Comments	Leola volcanics include minor conglomerate and diamictite in the lower part of the unit (Joseph, 1990a); conglomerate member of Huckleberry Formation is included in unit WAPCc).
Primary rock type	greenstone
Secondary rock type	amphibolite
Other rock types	greenschist; gneiss; conglomerate
Lithologic constituents	Major Metamorphic > GreenstoneIncludes flows, breccia, tuff, and volcaniclastic rock. Greenstone of Huckleberry Formation has major- and trace-element geochemistry consistant with that of a tholeiitic basalt extruded in a continental rift setting (Waggoner, 1990b).
