Summary: | The structural basement of Alexander Island consists of a wide belt of accretionary complex rocks, the LeMay Group (Bum 1984). This is overlain by ?Cretaceous-Tertiary calcalkalinevolcanic rocks (Bum 1981), and intruded by several slightly younger, but related, plutons (Care 1983). The Rouen Mountains batholith is a large group of these plutons which occurs in the northern part of the island. |
