Geological Mapping in the Campbell Range, Southeastern Yukon (Parts of 105 G/8, G/9 and 105 H/5, H/12)
The Finlayson Lake fault zone forms the boundary between autochthonous North American rocks and rocks of the innermost accreted Slide Mountain and Yukon-Tanana terranes in southeastern Yukon. Geological mapping at 1::50 000 scale in a well exposed area of the Campbell Range, southeastern Yukon, was undertaken to examine the kinematics of the Finlayson Lake fault zone and rock types of the Slide Mountain terrane. Five units were identified: (1) chloritic schist and phyllite, (2) laminated metachert and carbonaceous black slate, (3) tan weathering metachert and maroon siliceous and argillaceous metasiltstone, (4) greenstone and associated breccia, gabbro, metagreywacke, metachert and maroon metasiltstone and (5) serpentinite. Unit 2 is structurally interleaved with submap-scale bodies or layers of serpentinite, hornblende-plagioclase porphyry, plagioclase-potassium fledspar porphyry, quartz-eye muscovite-chlorite phyllite or schist, chloritic schist and minor grey, calcareous metacarbonate. Serpentinite is also exposed in unit 4 and as small slivers along the thrust contact between units 3 and 4. Lithologically, units 4 and 5 are similar to the upper division of the Slide Mountain terrane in east-central and north-central British Columbia. Unit 2 has similarities with the lowest division of the Sylvester allochthon and is tentatively correlated with the Slide Mountain terrane. Maroon metasiltstone in unit 3 is indistinguishable lithologically from metasiltstone in the overlying greenstone unit suggesting that the eastern thrust fault juxxtaposes parts of the same depositional sequence, ie. The Slide Mountain terrane. Regional correlation of unit 1 is unclear. Unit 2 is inferred to be bounded to the east and west by northwest-striking faults and to the south, by an east-striking, steeply dipping, normal (north-side down) fault. The northern boundary of unit 2 is unconstrained. Greenstone (unit 4) is thrust towards the southwest over unit 1 in the western part of the map area along a northwest-striking, gently northeast-dipping thrust fault. In the eastern part of the map area, greenstone is thrust towards the northeast over unit 3 along a northwest-striking, moderately southwest-dipping thrust fault. Outcrop data and topographic patterns suggest that the eastern thrust fault is truncated by a northwest-striking, steeply dipping fault and that the normal fault truncates the westernmost northwest-striking fault. The northwest-striking faults are poorly exposed and their kinematics have yet to be determined. However, if they are steep faults, they are likely dextral strike-slip faults. Field data indicate that the Finlayson Lake fault zone consists of diverging thrust faults and subparallel strike-slip(?) faults. These structures are consistent with the interpretation of the Finlayson Lake fault zone as a transpressive fault zone. More constraints on the relative timing of faulting and the kinematics of the steep faults are required to test this hypothesis,

Schematic fold style, interpreted from fold geometry in outcrop and in thin section, rather than mapped structures. Jules Creek fault - possibly an Early Permian strikeslip fault (Murphy, 2004) reactivated with east-directed thrust motion in the Jurassic (Inconnuage). King Arctic Upper Quarry. Metasomatic replacement of chert granule to pebble conglomerate by tremolite is visible in outcrop over an interval of 5 m. The rocks across the contact from bottom to top are: serpentinite, nephrite, semi-nephrite, partly replaced conglomerate, and nonmetasomatized metaconglomerate. Nephrite formation resulted from metasomatic replacement of metasedimentary rocks (King Arctic formation green chert pebble conglomerate and lithic arenite and White Lake group Whitefish limestone) and/or serpentinite by serpentinite-derived fluids along D3 thrust faults interpreted to have Early Jurassic motion.

Regional bedrock mapping has revised structural and stratigraphic relationships in the northeastern corner of the Glenlyon map area (NTS 105L). Three structural panels, separated by south and southwest dipping thrust faults, subdivide the area. Cambrian (?) to Ordovician metasedimentary and volcanic rocks underlie the southwestern panel and include all exposures southwest of the Duo fault. Ordovician to Silurian (?) siliciclastic and carbonate strata and phyllite units that are intruded by Late Devonian porphyritic rocks underlie the central panel. Silurian (?) to Triassic siliciclastic and carbonate strata in the northern panel occur to the north, and in the footwall of, the Twopete fault. Mid-Cretaceous granitic rocks that crop out near Kalzas Mountain and occur below the surface near Dromedary Mountain intrude the central and northern panels. Northeast-verging folds and thrust faults deform layered rocks in the northeastern Glenlyon area and are offset by north-south oriented, steeply dipping structures with both normal and strike-slip motion. Upper Devonian Earn Group strata host layered sulphide bodies and polymetallic veins that contain lead, zinc and silver. This mineralization occurs in the footwall of the Twopete fault, a regional structure that originally developed as a Late Devonian synsedimentary fault. Ordovician and Silurian (?) quartz-rich clastic rocks are unlike coeval basinal facies rocks mapped elsewhere within the Selwyn basin in Yukon. These rocks represent slope facies deposits that mark a transition from basin to platform that is the northern extension of the McEvoy platform–Selwyn basin boundary.

Finlayson project: Geological evolution of Yukon-Tanana Terrane and its relationship to Campbell Range belt, northern Wolverine Lake map area, southeastern Yukon
공공데이터포털
Geological mapping in Wolverine Lake area has outlined new Yukon-Tanana Terrane stratigraphy, constrained the stratigraphic position of the Wolverine Lake volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit, and clarified the relationship of Yukon-Tanana Terrane to the Campbell Range belt. Yukon-Tanana Terrane comprises two stratigraphic successions separated by an angular unconformity. Beneath the unconformity are polydeformed felsic and mafic meta-volcanic rocks, carbonaceous meta-clastic rocks, marble and granitic orthogneiss. The Kudz Ze Kayah VMS deposit occurs in felsic meta-volcanic rocks of this sequence. Yukon-Tanana Terrane rocks above the unconformity are deformed by only one phase of deformation and consist primarily of carbonaceous meta-clastic rocks and quartz- and feldspar-phyric felsic meta-volcanic rocks. The Wolverine VMS deposit occurs in this succession, associated with siliceous exhalite and baritic magnetite iron formation. Meta-basalt of the Campbell Range belt, included previously in Slide Mountain Terrane, overlies the upper succession of Yukon-Tanana Terrane with sharp contact. This contact has been observed at several localities and it appears depositional. There is no evidence that it is a terrane boundary fault.
