| Text Description: | Wrangell Lava. Dacite dome field. Dacite porphyry domes (Tertiary) - Broad belt of at least eight coalesced endogenous and exogenous dacite domes that extends more than 19 km around and under the Sonya Creek shield volcano. The dacite (65.8-66.3% SiO2; map nos. 26-28) is coarsely porphyritic containing as much as 30% large (as much as 5 mm) phenocrysts of plagioclase and locally highly altered hornblende. A K-Ar date of 23 Ma (map letter B) was obtained on hornblende from a dome overlain by Sonya Creek intracaldera (?) rocks. |
