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 ...
Seafloor deposit models, geochemistry, and petrology of the mafic-ultramafic hosted Big Lake VMS occurrence, Marathon, Ontario
(2010)
The Big Lake volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) occurrence, located in the Schreiber-Hemlo belt of the Superior Province, was discovered in March 2006 near Marathon, Ontario. It is hosted in a mafic-ultramafic metavolcanic ...
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 ...
Rock magnetic studies of the CY-4 drillhole through the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus
(2006)
Rock magnetic properties of 50 specimens from a continuous section through the lower
layers of the Troodos ophiolite in the CY-4 drill hole, reveal an alteration and palaeomagnetic
history consistent with ocean spreading. ...
Petrology of the Crystal Lake Gabbro and the Mount Mollie Dyke, Midcontinent Rift, Northwest Ontario
(2018)
The Crystal Lake Gabbro (CLG) is a Y-shaped, up to 750 m wide, layered mafic intrusion with a 5 km long northern limb and a 2.75 km long southern limb, with localized Cu-Ni and Cr mineralization. The Mount Mollie Dyke (MMD) ...
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 ...
Petrography and mineralogy of the C29/30 Candle Lake Kimberlite, Saskatchewan, Canada
(2010)
Petrography and mineralogy of the C29/30 Candle Lake kimberlite (Saskatchewan, Canada) was studied to understand the characteristics of the kimberlite. Using standard optical microscopy three units where distinguished; ...
Sedimentology and geochemistry of the 2.93 Ga Basinal Facies of the Red Lake carbonate platform
(2019)
The Mesoarchean Red Lake carbonate platform is the oldest (~2.93 Ga) known carbonate platform on Earth. It is comprised of a variety of chemical sedimentary rocks including: limestone, dolostone, chert, oxide iron formation, ...
Petrology of ijolites from the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex
(2019)
This study investigates the major and trace element composition of minerals of the ijolite series rocks occurring at the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex, northern Ontario, together with comparative data for ijolites from ...
Paleoproterozoic snowball earth? Sedimentology and geochemistry of a Huronian glacial cycle
(2019)
The study discusses new sedimentological and geochemical results for the
Paleoproterozoic Bruce glacial cycle, which represents the second of three glacial cycles within
the Huronian Supergroup. This Bruce glacial event ...
