Extract

Wrangellia was one of the first described and probably the most widely known of the North American Cordilleran terranes. On the basis of Triassic stratigraphy (Jones et al., 1977) and paleomagnetism (Hillhouse, 1977), the name Wrangellia was proposed for large areas of outcrop in Alaska, British Columbia, and Oregon (Fig. 1).
