Petrology and Geochemistry of Some Early Tertiary Lavas of the Okanagan Lake Region, South Central British Columbia

Abstract

<p>A petrological and geochemical study has been carried out on some early Tertiary lavas of the Okanagan Lake region of south-central British Columbia. Included are a discussion on stratigraphy and petrographic descriptions, along with some chemical investigations of the rocks and a discussion concerning the general problem of petrogenesis. Analytical methods used are explained, and a discussion of the results is included.</p>
