... Foliated intrusions of the Early Jurassic Aishihik Plutonic Suite (APS), including the Aishihik Batholith, have been included in Stikinia and interpreted as allochthonous with respect to adjacent terranes, including the Nisling and Yukon-Tanana Terranes. The Nisling Terrane was thought to lack...
