GEOLOGY OF THE PURGATORY SADDLE 7.5 MINUTE QUADRANGLE, AND GRAVITY AND MAGNETIC ANALYSIS OF ACCRETED TERRANE BOUNDARY, WESTERN IDAHO Geography, Geology and Planning Missouri State University, May 2018

1. Introduction [2] Accretion of terranes is one of the fundamental processes of continental growth. The Alaskan and Canadian Cordillera inspired the early development of the terrane concept [e.g., Coney et al., 1980; Monger et al., 1982] and the orogen remains a global archetype for accreted terranes.However, considerable debate continues regarding …

Those basalt flows overlie rock of the Wallowa accreted terrane: mostly volcanic and sedimentary rock that formed in an island arc setting, far offshore from North America. It …

 · The western side of Idaho preserves some of these tectonic fragments, the Blue Mountains terranes, and the collision zone along which they were sutured to the North American continent in late Mesozoic time. Map showing areas in western Idaho underlain …

 · Western North America is characterized by the Cordilleran accretionary mountain belt, which has seen episodic plate convergence since the early Paleozoic, about 253 million years ago. Israel and ...

 · The Wallowa terrane is one of five pre-Cenozoic terranes in the Blue Mountains province of Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. The other four terranes are Baker, …

The purpose of this study is to understand the structural relationship of the pre-accretionary, syn-accretionary and post-accretionary tectonic features along the accreted terrane boundary in western Idaho. High resolution 7.5-minute geologic mapping of the Purgatory Saddle quadrangle reveals tectonic relationships of plutonism and deformation ...

 · Cretaceous plutons of the western margin of the Idaho batholith were emplaced along and to the west of the major terrane boundary separating middle Proterozoic and Paleozoic continental rocks from mostly Mesozoic accreted oceanic-arc terranes of the Blue Mountain Province.

 · Accreted terranes are a major of component of the land on which we live. If you live in Seattle, deep in the crust beneath you is the Crescent Terrane, made mostly of pillow basalt that erupted onto the floor of an ocean. If you look at the Olympic Mountains from the Puget Sound area most of the rocks you see there are of the Crescent Terrane.

Accreted Terrane: Island Arcs & Suture Zones, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Northwest Art, features forty-two Northwest artists exploring the metaphor of geologic accretion through the mediums …

 · Accreted terranes are the blocks of continental fragments and oceanic islands that have collided with a continent and are now permanently attached. All continents, including North America, tend to be older in their interiors and grow outward over geologic time, as terranes are added to the edges of the continent.

Accretion A process by which material is added to a tectonic plate or landmass is called Terrane A group of rocks in a geologic area that don't show any relation to the rock units around them is called a Divergent The Ophiolite Suite of rocks is created at a ________________ oceanic boundary Limestone

Therefore, the terrane transferred from one plate to the other. Typically, accreting terranes are portions of continental crustwhich have rifted offanother continental mass and been transported surrounded by oceanic crust, or they are old island arcsformed at some distant subduction zone.

The Blue Mountains, perhaps the most geologically diverse part of Oregon, consist of a series of mountain ranges, rolling uplands, and valleys in the northeastern part of the state and extending into southeastern Washington. Slightly less than a sixth of Oregon's land area, the region occupies about 15,000 square miles.

 · In geology, a terrane (in full, a tectonostratigraphic terrane) is a crust fragment formed on a tectonic plate (or broken off from it) and accreted or "sutured" to crust lying on another plate. …. A sedimentary deposit that buries the contact of the terrane with adjacent rock is called an overlap formation.

 · Most of the suture zone and accreted terranes in Idaho were subsequently covered by voluminous Columbia River basalt flows during Miocene time. Exposures of these features are now preserved in spectacular canyons, including Hell's Canyon, that were cut during Pliocene to Recent time.

A terrane, as distinct from the more general topographic term terrain, is a crustal block or fragment that is typically bounded by faults and that has a geologic genesis distinct from those of surrounding areas In paleogeography, a terrane is the accreted block that has sutured to a craton continental nucleus and that contains distinct rock ...
