摘要

Eocene rifting between the Kula and Farallon plates of Western North America resulted in the formation of a string of volcanic islands along northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington, which were later accreted to the continent. Previously undescribed flora assemblages from these islands reflect a low-level coastal swamp dominated by Sabalites and Platanophyllum, backed by higher altitude uplands with lacustrine deposits dominated by Pinus, Picea, and Chamaecyparis. Diversity of one of the assemblages allows a paleoclimate analysis based on foliar physiognomy. These assemblages apparently correlate with the late Ravenian flora stage in the Pacific Northwest, a period formerly lacking a definitive marine-nonmarine correlation. Furthermore, these strata, assigned to the upper Narizian foraminiferal stage, seem to correlate with the hydrocarbon producing strata of the Mist Gas Field. (JHD)
