The western margin of the Omineca Belt near Crooked Lake, British Columbia, consists of metasedimentary rocks (Snowshoe Group) and orthogneisses of the Barkerville terrane, structurally overlain by a mafic volcanic – sedimentary package of rocks belonging to the allochthonous Slide Mountain (Crooked Amphibolite) and Quesnel terranes (Triassic phyllite and Nicola Group). At least two episodes of regional deformational (phases 2 and 3) affected this composite package. Deformation and metamorphism (phase 1) in the Snowshow Group predate the formation of this package and are nowhere evident within the allochthonous terranes.Middle Jurassic metamorphism ranging from chlorite zone through sillimanite zone affected all units. Isograds are folded, together with the junction between the terranes, indicating that the metamorphic assemblages developed prior to folding of this boundary. Granitic orthogneiss (Boss Mountain, Quesnel Lake, and Perseus gneisses), having a minimum age of Late Devonian to Early Pennsylvanian, was intruded into and deformed with the Snowshoe Group during the earliest recognizable phase of deformation in the Barkerville terrane (phase 1). Slide Mountain terrane rocks occupy a narrow zone where large eastward displacement occurred during overthrusting of the Intermontane superterrane upon the western margin of North America in Middle Jurassic time.

ABSTRACT Unconformities, by definition, correspond to erosional or nondepositional surfaces, which separate older strata below, from younger rocks above, encapsulating significant time gaps. However, recent studies have highlighted the composite nature of some unconformities, as well as their heterochronous and diachronous character, which challenge the use of such a definition in a four-dimensional dynamic environment. The J-3 Unconformity, separating the Middle Jurassic Entrada Sandstone from the Upper Jurassic Curtis Formation (and laterally equivalent units) in east-central Utah (USA), is laterally variable, generated by either erosion-related processes such as eolian deflation, and water-induced erosion, or by deformational processes. The J-3 Unconformity is a composite surface, formed by numerous processes that interacted and overlapped spatially and temporally. This study therefore demonstrates the heterochronous, diachronous, and non-unique nature of this surface interpreted as unconformity, where one process can be represented by varying expressions in the stratigraphic record, and conversely many processes may result in the same stratigraphic expression.

Imagine slipping on a small rug overlying a hardwood floor. In the process of sliding along the floor the rug produces a series of small folds and the rug moves forward from its original position. The same could be said for the “crinkled crust,” or folded layers of rocks in a detachment fold train. A spectacular detachment fold train, consisting of over 100 small, regularly spaced convex-upward folds called anticlines in gypsum-rich rock layers of the Middle Jurassic (about 168 million years ago [Ma]) Carmel Formation, is exposed immediately north of Interstate 70 (I-70) in the San Rafael Swell of east-central Utah (figures 1 and 2). The SanRafael Swell, a large anticlinal uplift, is an icon for everything that makes the Colorado Plateau dramatically scenic and geologically classic. However, the fold train is located in drab-colored, relatively featureless rock layers of the Carmel Formation in an area called Reed Wash along the gently dipping west flank of the Swell. After passing magnificent canyons, buttes, and mesas both to the east and west along I-70, the fold train typically goes unnoticed by not only the average tourist but geologists as well. Once the fold train is pointed out, the geologic observer is immediately struck with awe at this large, well-exposed, complex structural feature. Literally hundreds of classic geologic sites are well displayed in the San Rafael Swell; many are easily accessed overlooks and viewpoints. The detachment fold train, by contrast, is chosen as a geosite for its geologic uniqueness, educational instruction, and research opportunities in structural geology.
