Magnetic fabrics from sheeted dikes reveal regional magma flow patterns, and the spacing and dimensions of ophiolite magma-chambers, Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus
(2002)
Orientation-distributions of crystals were determined for 1289 specimens of the
Sheeted Dike Complex of the Troodos ophiolite, located on the island of Cyprus. These
were inferred from anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility ...
Magnetic fabrics of granitic plutons and gneisses, Northwestern Ontario
(2004)
Specimens of plutonic granitic gneisses have been collected from different
locations of the Superior Province. The study of their Koenigsberger ratio (related to
natural remanent magnetization) and the theoretical ...
Sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy of the paleoproterozoic Rove and Virginia formations, southwest Superior Province
(2006)
The Paleoproterozoic Rove and Virginia Formations are lithostratigraphically and
chronostratigraphically correlative units which comprise the upper sedimentary strata in
the Animikie basin. They sharply overlie an intensely ...
Geology and alteration associated with the Hamlin Lake VMS system, Shebandowan Greenstone belt, Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2008)
The Hamlin Lake area is located approximately 120 km southwest of the City of Thunder Bay, Ontario within the Shebandowan greenstone belt of the Wawa Subprovince, Superior Province. The purpose of this study was to understand ...
Rare and exotic mineralogy of the western subcomplex of the Deadhorse Creek "diatreme", Northwestern Ontario
(2004)
The Deadhorse Creek ‘Diatreme’ is a Proterozoic vent breccia that probably
formed in response to early mid-continent rifting. Following emplacement of
the breccia, the western subcomplex experienced three alteration ...
Sibley Group : a lithostratigraphic, geochemical, and paleomagnetic study
(2003)
The Sibley Group is an unmetamorphosed Mesoproterozoic red bed sequence, commonly flat lying,
that formed in an intracratonic basin between 1450 Ma and 1500 Ma. It covers an area o f 15,000
km^, and reaches a total ...
Sedimentology and geochemistry of the Mesoproterozoic Pass Lake and Rossport formations, Sibley group
(2006)
The Sibley Group is an essentially unmetamorphosed, Mesoproterozoic
sedimentary succession consisting of a mixture of siliciclastic and chemical sedimentary
rocks. This study examined the sedimentology and geochemistry ...
Whole rock geochemistry, mineral chemistry, petrology and Pt, Pd mineralization of the Seagull Intrusion, Northwestern Ontario
(2005)
The Seagull Intrusion emplaced during formation of the 1.1 Ga Mid-continental Rift centred around Lake Superior was studied in several drill core and surface samples and consists of a lower ultramafic section (~650 m) and ...
Aspects of the mineralogy of the Murun alkaline complex, Yakutia, Russia
(2001)
The Murun complex contains a number of unusual and mineralogically unique rocks.
Many of them are problematic in terms of their genesis and petrographic interpretation. These
enigmatic rocks include charoite assemblages, ...
The mineralogy of NYF pegmatites from the Coldwell alkaline complex, Northwestern Ontario
(2009)
The Coldwell Complex, northwestern Ontario, is a multiphase alkaline intrusion that is host to
rare earth element, actinide and other high field strength element mineralization. Preliminary
studies have shown that these ...
