Results may demark a minimum limiting age for the Possession glaciation. • A west-northwest tracing bedrock anticline records late Oligocene or younger north-northeast-directed shortening and may connect to other regional structures.

The densely populated quadrangle located 30 km northeast of Seattle, which has not been mapped in detail since the 1980s, spans the projected intersections of several active regional tectonic structures. We support the map with new field work, lidar, existing subsurface explora- tions, geochemistry, palynology, and U-Pb, luminescence, radiocarbon, and biostratigraphic chronology. We compare mapped geology with new iso- static gravity and existing aeromagnetic data for further observations of structural features in this complex area. New radiocarbon and luminescence chronology constrains pre-Vashon stra- tigraphy of the Olympia non-glacial interval and may provide a limiting date for the end of the Possession Glaciation. New U-Pb zircon ages for both volcanic (~44 Ma) and sedimentary (~28 Ma) bedrock units are pre- sented. Geochemical analyses of 18 samples of the volcanic rocks of Mount Persis range from andesite to dacite and most have adakite affinities. Skyler P.

Anderson—Colorado College GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE MALTBY 7.5-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, SNOHOMISH AND KING COUNTIES, WASHINGTON We compare these data with existing analyses of the volcanics and discuss a relation to the earliest stages of subduction-related magmatism as the modern Cascade arc initiated in the Eocene. We refine the stratigraphy of fossiliferous Tertiary sedimentary bedrock with constraints from U-Pb zircon chronology, as well as foraminiferal and molluscan biostratigraphy, and de- scribe an Eocene-Oligocene transition from continental to mid-shelf environ- ments with evidence for diffuse methane seep colonies. Biostratigraphy leads us to infer that most of the exposed sedimentary bedrock predates the Blake- ley Formation type section, in contrast to correlations drawn by previous workers. A major bedrock anticline in the map area reflects Oligocene or later NNE-SSW compression and may be tied to a complex interaction of re- gional structures concealed by Quaternary cover. Detailed mapping is unable to further constrain the surficial trace of the active Southern Whidbey Island Fault zone or Monroe Fault, though geophysical lineaments indicate that strands of these structures extend through the quadrangle and merge with previously mapped faults to the southeast. Our new map concludes a de- cade-long campaign of detailed geologic mapping by the Washington Geo- logical Survey in the eastern Puget Lowland. direction of maximum shortening 3 Rhythmic, planar-bedded silt and clay of unit Qgaf representing cyclical lacustrine sedimentation.

Figure M2. Reduced-to-pole aeromagnetic anomaly imagery is from Richard Blakely (USGS, written commun., 2016). Isostatic gravity anomaly contours are from this study. The Maltby quadrangle boundary is shown in red. Faults within the quadrangle boundary correspond to the Grace and Cottage Lake lineaments of Sherrod and others (2008). The Fiddlers Bluff anticline and geophysical lineaments are from this study (see pamphlet, Geophysical Observations).

Figure M1. Regional geologic map of the Maltby quadrangle. Geologic units are from 1:100,000-scale mapping (WADGER, 2016). Locations of the Seattle Fault and Kingston arch are from 1:250,000-scale mapping (WADGER, 2010). Seattle and Everett basins modified from Pratt and others (1997, plate 1) and Dragovich and others (2015, 2016, fig.1). The westernmost extents of the Monroe fault (MF), Monroe anticline (MA), and Monroe syncline (MS) are simplified from Dragovich and others (2015, fig. 10). The Southern Whidbey Island fault zone traces are simplified from Dragovich and others (2002) and Sherrod and others (2008). Geophysical lineaments (green) and the Fiddlers Bluff anticline (FBA) are from this study. Structures east of the quadrangle are simplified from Tabor and others (1993, 2002) and Dragovich and others, (2007, 2009, 2010a, 2011a, 2012, 2013, 2014a, 2015, 2016). RMFZ, Rattlesnake Mountain fault zone; CF, Carnation fault; EFB, Explorer Falls basin; TCFZ, Tokul Creek fault zone; CCFZ, Cherry Creek fault zone; GFFZ, Granite Falls fault zone; PF, Pilchuck fault. Oil and gas exploration wells are from Washington Geological Survey records: A, Alderwood No. 1; SS, Socal-Schroeder No. 1; K, Kingston No. 1; SW, Socal-Whidbey No. 1; S, Snohomish No. 1; SD, Sol Duc Delfel No. 1; U, unnamed.

MAJOR FINDINGS• Eighteen new geochemical samples and a new ~44 Ma U-Pb date from the volcanic rocks of Mount Persis reflect

signatures of the nascent Cascade arc in the mid-Eocene.

• Refugian-stage foraminiferal and Galvinian-stage molluscan biostratigraphy below a ~28 Ma U-Pb date of interbedded tuff shows that sedimentary rocks are older than previously inferred and record an Eocene or early Oligocene marine transgression.

• Luminescence and finite radiocarbon chronology constrain glacial and nonglacial Quaternary deposits between Marine Isotope Stage 2 (MIS 2), and MIS 4. Results may demark a minimum limiting age for the Possession glaciation.

• A west-northwest tracing bedrock anticline records late Oligocene or younger north-northeast-directed shortening and may connect to other regional structures.

Abstract—No. 387-4 (304000):

We present a new geologic map of the Maltby 7.5-minute quadrangle at 1:24,000 scale. The densely populated quadrangle located 30 km northeast of Seattle, which has not been mapped in detail since the 1980s, spans the projected intersections of several active regional tectonic structures. We support the map with new field work, lidar, existing subsurface explora-tions, geochemistry, palynology, and U-Pb, luminescence, radiocarbon, and biostratigraphic chronology. We compare mapped geology with new iso-static gravity and existing aeromagnetic data for further observations of structural features in this complex area.

New radiocarbon and luminescence chronology constrains pre-Vashon stra-tigraphy of the Olympia non-glacial interval and may provide a limiting date for the end of the Possession Glaciation. New U-Pb zircon ages for both volcanic (~44 Ma) and sedimentary (~28 Ma) bedrock units are pre-sented. Geochemical analyses of 18 samples of the volcanic rocks of Mount Persis range from andesite to dacite and most have adakite affinities.

GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE MALTBY 7.5-MINUTE QUADRANGLE,SNOHOMISH AND KING COUNTIES, WASHINGTON

We compare these data with existing analyses of the volcanics and discuss a relation to the earliest stages of subduction-related magmatism as the modern Cascade arc initiated in the Eocene. We refine the stratigraphy of fossiliferous Tertiary sedimentary bedrock with constraints from U-Pb zircon chronology, as well as foraminiferal and molluscan biostratigraphy, and de-scribe an Eocene-Oligocene transition from continental to mid-shelf environ-ments with evidence for diffuse methane seep colonies. Biostratigraphy leads us to infer that most of the exposed sedimentary bedrock predates the Blake-ley Formation type section, in contrast to correlations drawn by previous workers. A major bedrock anticline in the map area reflects Oligocene or later NNE-SSW compression and may be tied to a complex interaction of re-gional structures concealed by Quaternary cover. Detailed mapping is unable to further constrain the surficial trace of the active Southern Whidbey Island Fault zone or Monroe Fault, though geophysical lineaments indicate that strands of these structures extend through the quadrangle and merge with previously mapped faults to the southeast. Our new map concludes a de-cade-long campaign of detailed geologic mapping by the Washington Geo-logical Survey in the eastern Puget Lowland.
