STRUCTURAL DATA

-several boulders of sheared Molson have been noted in this channel, although no exposure of Molsons have been found so far

PETROLOGIC DATA

Rock Number: 1

Rock Type: multi-component schlieric gneiss

Field Description:

-Excellent exposure showing age relation between 3 different units of CWB
-The 2 dominent rocks of this outcrop are the old AUGN-TNLT and the young grey PORT-GRDR
-the relationship is obvious that the GRDR intrudes the TNLT
-the GRDR also cuts an old fabric in the TNLT indicating a pre-existing deformation
-associated with this old fabric are abundant LEUC.?? that are not present in the GRDR
-the third rock type is camp GRDR
-although this unit is schlieric and deformed and has the general appearance of an old rock it truncates layers of grey GRDR-PORT
-this finally fixes a relative age for camp GRDR as the distinctive youngest core intrusion in CWB
-The fabrics indicate that there must have been 3 deformational events involved in CWB
-a pre GRDR event, a post GRDR event and a post camp GRDR event
-this can be extrapolated to a 4th event which is indicated by folding of schlieren in camp GRDR, suggestng 2 deformations for camp GRDR. THe last intrusive event on this outcrop is a post camp pink PEGMT with Gr.
