Figure 1. Regional map from Roure and Blanchet (1983), Blake et al. (1982, 1985a), and G. Harper and M. Giaramita (unpublished mapping). Mineral Hill and Saddle Mountain greenstone blocks are blocks in the serpentinite melange underlying the Colebrooke Schist. 4

Figure 3. Terrane map of northwestern California, modified after Figures 2a and 2b in Blake et al. (1985b). 15

Figure 5. Regional map from Roure and Blanchet (1983), Blake et al. (1982, 1985a), and G. Harper and M. Giaramita (unpublished mapping), showing the locations of Colebrooke Schist metasedimentary rock samples and other types of rock samples. Mineral Hill and Saddle Mountain greenstone blocks are blocks in the serpentinite melange underlying the Colebrooke Schist. 27

Figure 6. Hand sample of JM-79c, a Colebrooke Schist phyllite. The Colebrooke phyllites are black and very fine grained, with abundant veins. Figure 7. Photomicrograph, under plane polarized light, of metagreywacke sample SM- 49 showing foliation. Quartz (qz) and plagioclase (pl) grains are flattened and chlorite (chl) grains are aligned. 28

Figure 8. Outcrop of coarse-grained Colebrooke semischist with mud rip-up clast (arrow). Depositional features such as this and bedding surfaces were rarely observed, largely because of heavy vegetation and deformation. 30

Figure 9. Outcrop photo of metabasalt block on Snowcamp Mountain, showing typical appearance of small Colebrooke meta-igneous blocks. Figure 10. Outcrop of metabasalt sample JM-67 showing preserved pillow structures. 31

Figure 11. Photomicrograph, under crossed nicols, of metabasalt sample JM-29 showing foliation. Foliation is evident by flattening of grains and by alignment of chlorite (chl) grains. ti = titanite Figure 12. Outcrop of metabasalt sample JM-86 showing foliation. White lines parallel foliation. Photo from G. Harper (unpublished data). 32

Figure 13. Exposure of a fault on the north side of Snowcamp Mountain between Colebrooke phyllite (black rock on right) and serpentinite (red weathering rock on left). If the serpentinite is part of the Snow Camp terrane, this fault is the Coast Range Fault; however, it is possible that the serpentinite is part of the Colebrooke. The serpentinite appears to have a clastic texture (Figure 14). Foliation in both rock types dips to the east (left side of photo), but is not evident in the phyllite in this photo. 34

Figure 14. Sample JM-06b, a probably detrital serpentinite (see Figure 13) This sample has sedimentary texture (note white and green clasts). This sample also has foliation and flattened grains. The sample pictured on bottom was cut parallel to lineation and perpendicular to foliation. 35

Figure 15. Hand sample from Colebrooke melange outcrop. This sample has sedimentary texture, as evidenced by the presence of clasts (green material). Clasts also appear to be deformed. 36

Figure 17. Hand sample (A) and photomicrograph (B), under plane polarized light, of metatonalite block showing pelitic matrix. Arrow points to pelitic matrix in hand sample (A), and dark areas are pelitic matrix in photomicrograph (B). 39

Figure 18. Regional map from Roure and Blanchet (1983), Blake et al. (1982, 1985a), and G. Harper and M. Giaramita (unpublished mapping), showing the locations of Colebrooke Schist meta-igneous rock samples. Mineral Hill and Saddle Mountain greenstone blocks are blocks in the serpentinite melange underlying the Colebrooke Schist. 47

Figure 19. Photomicrographs, under crossed nicols, showing relict igneous textures. Sample JM-68 (A) is typical of Colebrooke metabasalts. Subophitic texture and relict clinopyroxene (cpx), plagioclase (pl) altered to albite and relict spinel (sp) are visible. SM-13c (B) has trachytic texture, evident by aligned plagioclase (pl) grains. chl - chlorite 48

Mineral Hill and Saddle Mountain greenstone blocks are blocks in the serpentinite melange underlying the Colebrooke Schist. 60

Stereonet generated with the program Stereonett, written by Johannes Duyster of Ruhr-Universitat-Bochum (2000). Value for the Coast Range fault was measured atop Snowcamp Mountain. Red shaded area represents area between measured Coast Range fault value and value calculated from the mapped fault trace 3.5 km north of Snowcamp Mountain. L = linear, P = planar 88
