“…Geochemical data further suggest that Siletzia includes basalts with isotopic compositions indicative of a plume-like mantle source (Pyle et al, 2009(Pyle et al, , 2015Phillips et al, 2017). These observations have led to the hypothesis that the terrane represents an accreted oceanic plateau or chain of seamounts (Duncan, 1982;Murphy et al, 2003;McCrory and Wilson, 2013;Wells et al, 2014;Murphy, 2016). Such an origin is further supported by evidence for Eocene-aged regional shortening on Vancouver Island (Johnston and Acton, 2003), western and central Washington (Tabor et al, 1984;Johnson, 1985;Eddy et al, 2016;Miller et al, 2016), and southern Oregon (Wells et al, 2000), as well as geophysical studies that show that Siletzia is connected with subducted oceanic crust (Gao et al, 2011;Schmandt and Humphreys, 2011).…”
