Abstract: Anvil District is underlain by 5 km of polydeformed, late Precambrian to upper Paleozoic, metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks intruded by a Cretaceous granitic plutonic suite. Most rocks of the district are almost certainly North American and have strong affinities with well-known Selwyn Basin stratigraphy representing the most southwestern (outboard) present-day examples. The uppermost unit, however, is suspect and may be allochthonous. The southwestern margin of the district is defined by two major faults separating it from adjoining terranes.
