A geochemical comparison of Ainsley Beach and Flower Ridge mafic volcanic rocks

Abstract

The goal of this project was to use geochemical analysis to identify correlations between the mafic volcanic rocks of Ainsley Beach and Flower Ridge Formation to determine if, although different units, they formed at the same time and/or under similar geologic conditions. This poster will provide pertinent background geology for the bedrock units in question, a summary of our field and laboratory methods, a discussion of our findings and results, as well as a conclusion with recommendations for future work.
