Geology and ore deposits of the central York Mountains, western Seward Peninsula, Alaska
C.L. Sainsbury
1965, Open-File Report 65-142
In the central York Mountains, carbonate rocks of Lower and Middle Ordovician age and aggregating at least 8,000 feet thick are thrust northward over slate and argillaceous limestone of pre-Ordovician age which were intruded by gabbro in pre-Ordovician time. Normal faults of four distinct systems cut the thrust plates, and...
