Abstract

The Kodiak Formation, composed of coherent Maastrichtian turbidites, is a slate belt whose dominant structures developed during underplating to an accretionary wedge in the latest Cretaceous. It consists of about 80% coherent landward-dipping thrust packets; zones of disrupted sandstone associated with a scaly argillite matrix constitute the remainder. About half of these disrupted sandstone zones are related to pre-accretion deformation, and the rest formed along late-stage, strike-slip faults that postdate development of slaty cleavage. The formation is divided into three structural belts.-from Authors
