Comments | Spilitic volcanic rocks include meta-basalt flows, breccia, and tuff, as well as metamorphosed andesite and keratophyre (Tabor and others, 1982, Southwick, 1974). Outcrop in central Washington defined as part of Ingalls Tectonic Complex by Tabor and others, 1982. Huntting and others, 1961, lists "Hawkins" in the WApJph unit but I think it is more appropriately included in this unit (see maps and lithology descriptions of Tabor and others, 1982, and Southwick, 1974); all rocks in this formation are greenschist facies. Slate, argillite, and graywacke are part of the Peshastin formation. |
