Lower volcanic section chiefly submarine andesite and basalt flows, locally pillowed and brecciated; upper volcaniclastic section generally grades upward from coarse volcanic breccia to abundant volcanic graywacke and finally to volcanic lutite. No fossils are known in the type area. Age assignment is constrained by overlying Hasen Creek Formation (unit Peh) and stratigraphic and lithologic correlation with the Slana Spur Formation (Nokleberg and others, 1992a). As here mapped, includes units Pzt and IPt (Tetelna Volcanics) of Nokleberg and others (1992a). Unit Pzt of Nokleberg and others (1992a) consists of andesitic flows, mud and debris avalanches, and aquagene tuff interbedded with fine- to coarse-grained volcaniclastic rocks; this unit has yielded fragments of late Paleozoic bryozoans. The Tetelna Volcanics is similar, and consists chiefly of dark-green, dark-gray-green, and purplish-gray-green volcanic flows, locally graded mud and debris avalanches, and lapilli-pumice tuff interbedded with fine- to coarse-grained volcaniclastic rocks. In the Talkeetna Mountains quadrangle, Permian conodonts were collected from unit Pzv (Csejtey and others, 1978). Metamorphosed to lower greenschist facies. As here mapped, unit also includes greenstone of the Skolai Group in the Valdez quadrangle (Winkler and others, 1981) and early Permian(?) and Pennsylvanian andesitic volcanic rocks in the Healy quadrangle (Csejtey and others, 1992). Locally, may also include rocks that could be assigned to the Nikolai Greenstone (Trn) following more detailed mapping (J.M. Schmidt, written commun., 2007)
