Capsule Geology

A 4 kilometre long westerly trending band of Lower Permian Stikine Assemblage limestone up to 1.8 kilometres wide, crosses the Sheslay River, 7.8 kilometres northwest of its confluence with the Hackett River.

The band is faulted against Upper Triassic Stuhini Group volcanic rocks and sediments to the south and bounded to the north by Late Triassic and Early Jurassic diorite and monzonite. The unit is folded about an east-northeast trending anticline. The band is comprised of limestone with minor dolomite, chert and argillite.
