Cretaceous-Tertiary Tectonics and Paleogeography (65 Ma).

Latest Cretaceous - Early Tertiary (65 Ma)

Triple junction and Baja BC moved rapidly northward

Intermontane terranes translated to north

Forearc sedimentation (Franciscan-Great Valley) continued along southern margin

Uplift of Coast plutonic complex generated large deep-sea fan deposits (Chugach flysch)

Strong Sevier thrusting and foreland basin

Laramide orogeny: Farallon Plate shallow subduction caused expansion NE of foreland uplifts and basins
