The Teslin suture zone (TSZ) comprises a portion of the Yukon–Tanana terrane (YT), in the Yukon, formed by steeply dipping layering and L–S tectonite foliation. The TSZ forms the fundamental tectonic boundary between rocks deposited along the ancient margin of North America and allochthonous terrane...
