ABSTRACT |
|
On the basis of recent studies and
fieldwork, a stratigraphic scheme for
the rock units around Baguio District is
proposed, consisting of the following
stratified units: Pugo Formation, Zigzag
Formation, Kennon Limestone, Klondyke
Formation, Mirador Limestone, Baguio
Formation,. The intrusive units include
the Central Cordillera Diorite Complex,
Black Mountain Quartz Diorite Porphyry,
Balacbac Andesite and Balatoc Dacite
Diatreme. This stratigraphic scheme is
compared with those adopted by Balce and
others (1980), UNDP (1987), Maleterre
(1989), Mitchell and Leach (1991) and
others. The rock units in Baguio
District are also correlated with those
outside the area covered by the Baguio
Quadrangle with a view to gaining a
better understanding of sedimentation
and magmatism for the whole Central
Cordillera.
