| Abstract/Notes | The palynomorph taxa Ctenosporites eskerensis, Pesavis tagluensis, and Tilia spp. demonstrate that an unnamed sedimentary unit in the Union Port Louis well and float from Mud Bay Creek, Skidegate Inlet, British Columbia, most likely fall in the age range Early Eocene to Early Oligocene. These two localities, 66 km apart, have yielded the oldest Tertiary sediments yet confirmed on the Queen Charlotte Islands or in the Queen Charlotte Basin. The sediments are apparently continental. They exhibit high thermal maturity, which may be due to local volcanism, plutonism, or regional subsidence. The relationship of the Paleogene sediments to the late Tertiary Skonun Formation has not been determined. |
