Geology of Saint Lucia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The geology of Saint Lucia includes exposed Miocene rocks—the most northerly in the Volcanic Caribbees section of the Lesser Antilles volcanic island arc. These rocks include calc-alkalkine and arc tholeiite igneous rocks. The oldest formed up to 18 million years ago in the north. [1]
