Pg. 112. Alma Creek Leucotrondhjemite of Skagit Metamorphic Suite. In contrast to Shuksan Suite, the Skagit Metamorphic Suite contains a variety of metamorphosed intrusives. Metamorphosed acidic intrusives comprise predominantly trondhjemitic orthogneiss, including a larger elongate stock, the Marble Creek Orthogneiss (new), small bodies of leucotrondhjemitic orthogneiss, and thin sills or dikes of usually gneissose, trondhjemitic metaporphyries. A larger elongate stock of leucotrondhjemitic gneiss, Haystack Creek Gneiss (new), was intruded in a crystalline state during a fairly late stage of metamorphism. Another larger semiconcordant leucotrondhjemite body, Alma Creek Leucotrondhjemite, was intruded near the end of the metamorphism; it is igneous but shows incipient adjustment to the facies of the surrounding schist [Cascade River Schist]. Age is Paleozoic(?).
[Type locality and origin of name not stated.] Exposed in northern Cascades, northwestern WA.
