A little foggy in #ChugachStatePark today, but beautiful nonetheless.

Hiked up to my radio hut today. Quite the slog with 2+' of snow. But the view makes it worth it.

Turbidites above the Resurrection Peninsula Ophiolite, Alaska.
We now know that the turbidites on Fox Island, near Seward AK are part of the Paleocene Orca Group.
Spectacular in scale, and thickness.

Pillow basalts of the 57 Ma Resurrection Peninsula Ophiolite, Alaska.
These are some of the most spectacular pillows I've seen.
These represent eruption of basaltic magma to the ocean floor, and they are directly related to the sheeted dike complex recently posted.
The Stellar sea lions have hauled out on a detached block with exposed flow tops.

Sheeted dike complex of the 57 Ma Resurrection Peninsula Ophiolite, Alaska.
We recently determined the age of this complex by dating zircons in sediment interbedded in the overlying pillows. One of the most spectacular sheeted dike complexes I've seen (...and difficult to access).
These are feeders for basaltic magma to reach and erupt to the ocean floor.
