“…1). The travertine mound is perched on the north side of Cutoff Valley, a paleomeltwater channel that formerly drained the Fraser and Cariboo Plateaus, which lie to the northeast (Campbell and Tipper, 1971;Tipper, 1971). The deposit lies at the base of the Marble Range, the easternmost chain of the coastal mountains at this latitude, which rise up to 2245 m and are composed of massive limestones, dolostones, argillites, and cherts of mainly Permian-Triassic age.…”

“…The rocks are assigned to the Nicola Group (Campbell and Tipper 1971). Only Metapolygnathus polygnathiformis (Budurov and Stefanov) (Plate 1, figure 1) is positively recognizable in this assemblage, thus indicating a Triassic, late Ladinian to Karnian age.…”

Conodonts have been recovered from highly deformed limestone and calcareous argillite in Palaeozoic and Mesozoic successions near the western border of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex. Presently known biostratigraphic sequences indicate that the Eagle Bay Formation of the Mount Ida Group is in part Mississippian in age, and likely correlative with the Slide Mountain and Milford Groups. In addition, part of the succession previously mapped as Cache Creek Group in the Vernon area is now known to be Late Triassic in age, and can be correlated with the Sicamous Formation of the Mount Ida Group, the Nicola Group, and the Slocan Group. The Upper Triassic succession was affected by deformation and metamorphism associated with development of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex.

“…These constitute the youngest dates so far obtained from the "Plateau basalts" and differ significantly from those of the Chilcotin area (6-13 Ma, Bevier 1983), 100 km to the northwest, and from those of the Bonaparte Lake sheet (Campbell and Tipper 1971), about 75 km to the east, where dates of 6-10 Ma have been obtained (Farquharson 1973;Mathews 1964).…”

Tertiary rocks in the Gang Ranch -Big Bar area, south-central British Columbia, consist of (1) Early or Middle Eocene (50 Ma) lavas, breccias, and tuffs capped by a mappable unit of conglomerate and clays, totalling 1600 m in thickness; (2) Early Miocene basalt and obsidian, only locally present on high summits; (3) Mid-Miocene gravels and tuffs estimated to be up to 300 m thick; and (4) Pliocene "plateau basalts" up to 130 m thick, locally underlain by fluvial and lacustrine sediments. A rich, probably subtropical, palynoassemblage supports the correlation of the first unit with the Kamloops Group of south-central British Columbia, and the palynomorphs from unit (3) indicate equivalence with the Fraser Bend Formation of the Quesnel area.The northwest-trending Fraser Fault transects the area. Eocene and underlying mid-Cretaceous beds are confined to the west side of the fault; Triassic metasediments and metavolcanic rocks form the east wall. The west side of the fault has been structurally lowered by at least 1.6 km in Eocene and(?) later time. Some 70 km of dextral displacement since mid-Cretaceous time is suggested but is not unequivocally demanded. Major movement has occurred since and possibly during deposition of the Eocene beds. Pliocene beds overlying the fault and Mid-Miocene beds adjacent to the fault trace are apparently undisturbed.Pliocene drainage appears to have been northward. Slight northerly tilting has occurred since, but notwithstanding this the southward-flowing Fraser River has become established here. Glacial diversion of an earlier drainage pattern is suspected.Les roches tertiaires de la rCgion de Gang Ranch -Big Bar, dans le centre-sud de la Colombie-Britannique, incluent: (1) des laves, des breches et des tufs de 1'Eocene inf6rieur ou moyen (50 Ma) recouverts par une unit6 cartographiable composte de conglomerat et d'argiles, totalisant une tpaisseur de 1600 m, (2) un basalte et une obsidienne du Miocene inferieur qui apparaissent localement sur les hauts sommets seulement, (3) des graviers et des tufs du Miocene moyen dont I'Cpaisseur maximale est estim6e a 300 m et (4) des "basaltes des plateaux" du Pliocene, pouvant atteindre une puissance de 130 m, recouvrent localement des sediments lacustres et fluviatiles. Un palynoassemblage abondant, probablement subtropical, corrobore la corrClation de la premiere unit6 avec le groupe de Kamloops du centre-suci de la Colombie-Britannique, et les palynomorphes de I'unitC (3) marquent I'Cquivalence avec la formation de Fraser Bend de la region de Quesnel.La faille de Fraser de direction nord-ouest coupe la region. Des couches de I'Eocene et des couches sous-jacentes du CrktacC moyen n'apparaissent que sur le c6tC occidental de la faille; des mCtasCdiments et des mCtavolcaniques triassiques occupent la levre orientale de la faille. Le c6tt ouest de la faille a Ct C abaissC structuralement par au moins 1,6 km durant 1'Eocene et(?) ultCrieurement.
