NotesThis article presents an interesting look at the underlying volcanic formations of the Northwest Pacific Coast, from Vancouver Island to central western Oregon. The Siletzia Large Igneous Province was probably formed by a mantle plume, probably the Yellowstone mantle plume. The authors present new geochronological data setting the formation of Siletzia in the early Eocene.
