Previously published and new U-Pb geochronologic analyses provide 313 zircon and 59 titanite ages that constrain the igneous and cooling history of the Coast Mountains batholith in north-coastal British Columbia. First-order findings are as follows:
(1) This segment of the batholith consists of three portions: a western magmatic belt (emplaced into the outboard Alexander and Wrangellia terranes) that was active 177–162 Ma, 157–142 Ma, and 118–100 Ma; an eastern belt (emplaced into the inboard… Expand
