Salal Creek Pluton

The Salal Creek Pluton, also called the Salal Creek stock, is a small circular eight million year old intrusion with an area of 35 sq mi (91 km2). It contains 52 dikes composed of basalt and was probably formed 5 mi (8.0 km) or less below the Earth's surface.[1] It forms part of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt, a geological formation that formed as a result of subduction zone volcanism in the Canadian Cascade Arc.
