Mafic magmatism and associated tectonism of the central High Cascade Range, Oregon

Results are presented on chemical analyses of basaltic core samples obtained from holes drilled at three locations in the mafic platform within the central region of the High Cascade Range (Oregon), as well as of some surface samples to enhance the original data base. Analyses were obtained using a variety of procedures; the most appropriate data commensurate with the technique were selected. The data illustrate the development of the mafic platform in terms of geochemical variations and tectonic configurations required to satisfy petrochemical associations.
