Capsule Geology

The area of Guaquina Point is underlain by volcanics and interbedded limestone of the Upper Triassic Vancouver Group Karmutsen Formation. Anderson Point, at the west side of Muchalat Inlet, is underlain by Pennsylvanian-Permian Sicker Group metasediments that include minor marble and silicified carbonaceous rocks which strike 075 degrees and dip 85 degrees west. The area has been intruded by granodiorite of the Muchalat Batholith of the Jurassic Island Intrusions.
