Progress Report: Stratigraphy and Structure of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex Ln the Hunters Range, Eastern Shuswap Highland (82l)

southern Omineca Belt, fieldwork was undertaken in 1987 to examine the geology of the Eagle River fault in the eastem Shuswap Highland. The Eagle River fault is a west-sidedown low-angle normal fault that juxtaposes low to mediumgrade metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Paleozoic Mount Ida Group atop high-grade gneisses of the Shuswap metamorphic complex (Figure 1-4-1 inset). Regional geology of the Shuswap Highland was first mapped by Jones (1959). He subdivided the metamorphic rocks into two groups of low-grade rocks (Mount Ida and Chapperon), and a group of high-grade rocks (Monashee) that approximately coincides with what commonly is called the Shuswap metamorphic complex (see Okulitch, 1984). Geology of the Shuswap metamorphic complex in the Monashee Mountains north of 51" north latitude was mapped by
