	SCORE experiment
		The crustal structure of the Omineca (OB) and Foreland (FB) belts of the southeastern Canadian Cordillera are interpreted from the inversion of seismic refraction/reflection traveltimes and amplitudes, and modeling of the Bouguer gravity data from a 350-km east-west wide-angle profile.
		Lower velocities, higher conductances and increased densities within the upper crust (0-10 km depth) of the Purcell Anticlinorium appear to be associated with Middle and Upper Proterozoic rift-related metasediments and gabbroic dikes (35-55% by volume) in contrast to the mainly Mesozoic felsic intrusives and metamorphic rocks that dominate further west in the OB.
		At the bottom of the figure the Omineca and Foreland belts are indicated along with a simplified model of the lower crust and Moho from the wide-angle model including the wide-angle image of the Slocan Lake fault and its interpreted position from the reflection data.
