Quesnellia
(Redirected from Quesnellia Terrane)
Quesnellia, or the Quesnel terrane, a terrane in British Columbia, Canada, is a constituent of the Canadian Cordillera. It formed as a volcanic arc during the Triassic and Jurassic periods of the Mesozoic era.[1]
The Quesnel terrane forms part of the Intermontane superterrane along with the Stikinia and Cache Creek terranes.[2]
Quesnellia contains numerous deposits of alkalic copper‐gold porphyry.[3]
