Abstract
We present new U-Pb zircon ages, bulk rock chemistry, and field observations for volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Jurassic Bonanza arc of Vancouver Island, Canada, a proposed southern extension of the Talkeetna arc crustal section in Alaska. Rather than a synchronous and contiguous arc crustal section, the new field and geochronological data reveal three distinct periods in the arc development, wherein the oldest, "prima" (205-195 Ma), was built upon by the youngest, "dopo" (
