The 4.5-km-thick lower Libby Creek Group is inferred to be in thrust-fault contact with older units and contains sediments recording transgressions and regressions across a macrotidal delta. This succession is intruded by the 2,000-m.y.-old Gaps Intrusion and comagmatic tholeiitic to weakly...

Locations of major ore deposits within the Belt-Purcell Basin area, along with other ore deposits and mineralized trends that are discussed in this issue. Deposit locations are plotted on a geologic map showing the distribution of five stratigraphic units within the Belt-Purcell Basin in the United States and Canada. Lower Belt formations include the Prichard, Altyn, Appekunny, Chamberlain, Newland, LaHood, Table Mountain, and Greyson formations in the United States, and the Aldridge and Fort Steele formations in Canada. Ravalli Group includes the Burke, Revett, St. Regis, Spokane, and Grinnell formations in the United States, and the Creston Formation in Canada. Piegan Group (formerly middle Belt carbonate of Harrison, 1972) includes the lower and middle Wallace Formation and the Helena and Empire formations in the United States, and the Kitchener Formation in Canada. The lower Missoula Group includes the upper Wallace, Snowslip, Shepard, and Purcell Lava formations in the United States, and the Nicol Creek and Van Creek formations in Canada. The upper Missoula Group includes the Striped Peak, Libby, Mount Shields, Bonner, McNamara, Garnet Range, and Pilcher formations in the United States, and the Dutch Creek, Sheppard, Gateway, Phillips, Roosville, and Mount Nelson formations in Canada. Mesoproterozoic strata in east-central Idaho include the Yellowjacket, Hoodoo, Inyo Creek, West Fork, Big Creek, Apple Creek, Gunsight, Swauger, and Lawson Creek formations. Belt-Purcell units in Canada modified from Höy et al. (1995); units in United States adapted from Zientek et al. (2005) and Whipple (1992). Southwestern Montana mafic dike trends from Harlan et al. (2005).

A notable example of an asbestos-bearing alkaline intrusion is the Rainy Creek Complex near Libby, Montana, the host for a world-class vermiculite deposit that was mined from 1923 to 1990.

Simplified maps showing a summarized evolution of the foreland basin system in northwest Montana, based on a number of sources discussed in the text and data from this paper. (A) Late Jurassic, showing the potential configuration during deposition of the Morrison Formation. The initial foreland basin was established earlier during the Bajocian, with deposition of the Ellis Group. Area enclosed by dashed line in southeast corner of map shows approximate position of the Belt Island during the Middle Jurassic (from Parcell and Williams, 2005). The position of the forebulge is conjectural. Structure of the Kootenay and Quesnell terranes is not interpreted. (B) Aptian–early Albian, during deposition of the Kootenai Formation. (C) Albian–Santonian, during deposition of the Colorado Group. Map represents dominant environments during this time; coastal positions varied during this time. (D) Campanian–early Eocene, during deposition of the Two Medicine–Wasatch interval. Map does not display the late Campanian marine deposits of the Bearpaw Shale and Horsethief Sandstone. Major thrusts show possible location before pre-Cenozoic extension. LEDSH thrust system shows its potential pre-erosion position. Sawtooth Range is represented by a single thrust in the map, but includes a complexly deformed imbricated system. Forebulge represents its location during the mid-Campanian, although it actively migrated during this time (Catuneanu, 2004). In all figures, the locations of the early Eocene thrust belt front and intraforeland highs are shown as a spatial reference. Location of thrusts in dotted lines is conjectural; dashed lines indicate incipient movement. Only prevalent sedimentary environments are shown. Thrusts key: SM—St. Mary, HL—Hall Lake, M—Moyie, HC—Hawley Creek, CA—Cabin, S—Snowshoe, L—Libby, P—Pinkham, WW—Wigwam-Whitefish, LEDSH—Lewis-Eldorado-Steinbach-Hoadley, Lo-E—Lombard-Eldorado, SR—Sawtooth Range imbricate. Lewis and Clark strike-slip system is simplified as a single line.
