Station: Fort_Selkirk

Station ID: Fort_Selkirk [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Volcano:
Collector: Westgate, J. A.
Date visited:
NAD83 latitude: 62.8
NAD83 longitude: -137.39998
Default location: No
Location description: Fort Selkirk area, close to the confluence of the Yukon and Pelly Rivers, Yukon Territory, Canada. Sections on the right bank of the Yukon River, immediately downstream of Fort Selkirk, expose glacial deposits that are sandwiched between an upper and a lower sequence of basalt flows. Till is overlain by a fining-upward succession of stratified sediments consisting of poorly sorted gravel, sand, Fort Selkirk tephra, and silt. Location imprecisely georeferenced from Figure 1 in Westgate et al. (2001).
