The comparison of three mapped successions in northern Ontario to glacial deltas reviewed in the literature results in the definition of four end-member depositional environments for glacial deltaic sedimentation. Similar ...

The kimberlites studied from the Lac de Gras area are composed o f two broad textural types: hypabyssal kimberlite and volcaniclastic kimberlite. Hypabyssal kimberlite is present within small isolated dyke segments and ...

Understanding iron formation depositional processes has been hindered by the lack of precise modern analogues. However, by combining a regional basin analysis of sedimentary and volcanic rocks surrounding an iron formation ...

The Kawene Intrusion is an ultramafic, layered, metamorphosed Cu- Ni- PGE- bearing intrusion located 29 km east of Atikokan within the Quetico Subprovince of northwestern Ontario. The Kawene Intrusion is emplaced primarily ...

The study interpreted depositional environments from sedimentological data present in metasedimentaiy rocks of the Neoarchean Shebandowan Group of the Wawa Subprovince. Outcrops in the study area contained sedimentary ...

The gold-bearing Metalore shear zone and Golden Highway quartz-carbonate vein in the Beardmore-Geraldton Archean Greenstone Belt occur along the Paint Lake splay faults at the contact between metavolcanic rocks and ...

Calcite Portland-cement aggregate samples were deformed triaxially at 25 deg. with confining pressures of 200 Mpa. The samples were deformed under experimental approximations of pure shear (dry and wet experimental ...

Paleoraagnetic studies indicate the Meguma terrane's final emplacement occurred between the Mid-Devonian and Early Permian. Lithostratigraphic units near the boundary of the terrane were investigated in order to provide ...

The Quetico metasedimentary subprovince and the volcanic-plutonic Shebandowan belt to the south meet along an east-west steeply dipping boundary that is believed to have been affected by dextral transpressional deformation. ...

The Quetico subprovince is a northeast-southwest striking linear belt of migmatites, gneisses, and metasedimentary rocks. These Archean rocks form part of the southern Superior Province- This study involves an examination ...
