Paleomagnetic results are reported for the ∼59 Ma Skagway, ∼54 Ma Fraser, ∼53 Ma Summit Lake, and ∼48 Ma Clifton felsic plutons of the eastern Coast Plutonic Complex (CPC) that outcrop along the south Klondike Highway in Alaska and British Columbia. Thermal and alternating field step demagnetizing m...
