Terrane Unit : ST
             Name : Stikinia

      Description : Devonian to Permian arc volcanics and platform    
                    carbonates form the basement to Stikinia.  They   
                    are overlain by Triassic and Lower Jurassic arc   
                    volcanics, volcaniclastics, chert and arc-derived 
                    clastics which are intruded by comagmatic plutonic
                    rocks. Amalgamated by latest Triassic time and  
                    accreted to Ancestral North America in the        
                    Jurassic  Permian, Triassic and Jurassic faunas     
                    differ from co-latitudinal cratonal rocks         
                    indicating northward terrane displacement
