Accordingly, models involving an allochthonous origin for the Kootenay terrane should be reevaluated. The presence of coarse clastic rocks and mafic volcanic rocks within the lower Paleozoic sequence of the Kootenay arc is explained in terms of intermittent early Paleozoic extensional deformation, such as is well documented elsewhere along the Cordilleran margin of the North American craton.
