Fragment of Earth's crust in British Columbia, Canada
Stikinia (in blue) at 330, 269, and 251 Ma, or before the breakup of Pangaea. At 269 Ma Stikinia is accompanied by the Wrangellia and Alexander terranes (west) and the East Klamath terrane (southeast). View centred on 60th meridian west.
Stikinia, or the Stikine terrane, is a terrane in British Columbia, Canada; the largest of the Canadian Cordillera. It formed as an independent, intraoceanic volcanic arc during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic.[1][2]
Stikinia forms the bedrock of numerous volcanoes in the southern portion of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province (NCVP), a Miocene to Holocene geologic province that has its origins in continental rifting.[1]
