This study will test three hypotheses concerning early Late                     Cretaceous sedimentation and subsidence in the Tyaughton-Methow                 Basin, southwestern British Columbia.  These hypotheses explain                 the basin as: 1) a pull-apart reflecting strike-slip tectonism; 2)              a flexural basin due to basin-ward thrust faulting; or 3) a                     piggyback basin on sub-basinal thrusts.  The PI will also address               the question of whether sedimentation occurred in a back-arc                    versus a forearc setting and at a paleolatitude possibly as far                 south as Cretaceous northern Mexico.  Results will constrain                    kinematic models for the mid-Cretaceous North American Cordillera               and for the timing and style of interal deformation within a                    moving composite allochthonous terrane.  Basin-analysis                         methods to be employed include determining the style and                        orientation of sediment dispersal systems, defining                             three-dimensional facies architecture, defining the changing                    composition and location of the sediment-source areas, defining                 temporal and spatial changes in basin geometry, and identifying                 any syndepositional intrabasinal structural deformation.  In                    addition, 40Ar/39Ar dating of primary volcaniclastic and volcanic               strata will provide precise, reliable ages critical to                          constraining paleogeographic, lithostratigraphic and paleomagnetic              data.  An ongoing paleomagnetic study to determine the                          paleolatitude of the early Late Cretaceous Tyaughton-Methow Basin               and its underlying allochthonous basement.  The research will help              unravel the history of the growth of the western margin of North                America.
