Figure F7. Likely four-stage evolution of the Shatsky Rise through analogy with the complete volcanic LIP series in the accreted Wrangellia Terrane (Greene et al., 2010). Volcanic facies associations reveal (A) initial deep water eruptive phase of pillowed and massive submarine flows, (B) shallow-water flow emplacement with increasing proportion of volcaniclastics, (C) emergent (subaerial) stage of plateau growth, and (D) waning eruption stage.
