Alkali basalt

Alkali basalt or alkali olivine basalt is a dark-colored, porphyritic volcanic rock usually found in oceanic and continental areas associated with volcanic activity, such as oceanic islands, continental rifts and volcanic fields.

See Raspberry Formation and Alkali basalt

Armadillo Formation

The Armadillo Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Miocene age in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Raspberry Formation and Armadillo Formation are basalt formations, geologic formations of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex and Miocene Canada.

See Raspberry Formation and Armadillo Formation

Armadillo Peak

Armadillo Peak is a 7.5-million-year-old caldera, located about 3 km north of Bourgeaux Creek and northeast of Raspberry Pass, British Columbia, Canada.

British Columbia

British Columbia (commonly abbreviated as BC) is the westernmost province of Canada.

Erosion surface

In geology and geomorphology, an erosion surface is a surface of rock or regolith that was formed by erosion and not by construction (e.g. lava flows, sediment deposition) nor fault displacement.

See Raspberry Formation and Erosion surface

Geological formation

A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics (lithology) that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).

See Raspberry Formation and Geological formation

Geological Survey of Canada

The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC; Commission géologique du Canada, CGC) is a Canadian federal government agency responsible for performing geological surveys of the country developing Canada's natural resources and protecting the environment.

See Raspberry Formation and Geological Survey of Canada

Government of Canada

The Government of Canada (Gouvernement du Canada) is the body responsible for the federal administration of Canada.

Hawaiite

Hawaiite is an olivine basalt with a composition between alkali basalt and mugearite.

See Raspberry Formation and Hawaiite

Interbedding

In geology, interbedding occurs when beds (layers of rock) of a particular lithology lie between or alternate with beds of a different lithology.

Jack Souther

Jack Gordon Souther (April 25, 1924 – June 1, 2014) was an American-born Canadian geologist, volcanologist, professor and engineer.

K–Ar dating

Potassium–argon dating, abbreviated K–Ar dating, is a radiometric dating method used in geochronology and archaeology.

Little Iskut Formation

The Little Iskut Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Miocene age in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Raspberry Formation and Little Iskut Formation are geologic formations of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex, Miocene Canada, Miocene shield volcanoes and shield volcanoes of Canada.

Mess Creek Escarpment

The Mess Creek Escarpment is an escarpment in northwestern British Columbia, Canada, located on the east side of Mess Creek below Mess Lake and southeast of Telegraph Creek.

See Raspberry Formation and Mess Creek Escarpment

Miocene

The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

See Raspberry Formation and Miocene

Mount Edziza volcanic complex

The Mount Edziza volcanic complex (abbreviated MEVC) is a group of volcanoes and associated lava flows in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Raspberry Formation and Mount Edziza volcanic complex are shield volcanoes of Canada.

Mountain pass

A mountain pass is a navigable route through a mountain range or over a ridge.

See Raspberry Formation and Mountain pass

Raspberry Pass

Raspberry Pass is a mountain pass in the Tahltan Highland of northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

See Raspberry Formation and Raspberry Pass

Scoria

Scoria is a pyroclastic, highly vesicular, dark-colored volcanic rock formed by ejection from a volcano as a molten blob and cooled in the air to form discrete grains called clasts.

See Raspberry Formation and Scoria

Shield volcano

A shield volcano is a type of volcano named for its low profile, resembling a shield lying on the ground.

See Raspberry Formation and Shield volcano

Stikinia

Stikinia, or the Stikine terrane, is a terrane in British Columbia, Canada; the largest of the Canadian Cordillera.

See Raspberry Formation and Stikinia

Stratigraphic unit

A stratigraphic unit is a volume of rock of identifiable origin and relative age range that is defined by the distinctive and dominant, easily mapped and recognizable petrographic, lithologic or paleontologic features (facies) that characterize it.

See Raspberry Formation and Stratigraphic unit

Terrane

In geology, a terrane (in full, a tectonostratigraphic terrane) is a crust fragment formed on a tectonic plate (or broken off from it) and accreted or "sutured" to crust lying on another plate.

See Raspberry Formation and Terrane

University of British Columbia

The University of British Columbia (UBC) is a public research university with campuses near Vancouver and Okanagan, in British Columbia, Canada.

Volcanism of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex

The Mount Edziza volcanic complex (MEVC) in British Columbia, Canada, has a long history of volcanism that spans more than 7 million years.
