Siluro-Devonian tectonostratigraphic relationships in the Portage Brook area, northern New Brunswick: implications for timing of deformational events in the Bathurst Mining Camp

Abstract: In the Portage Brook area, Siluro-Devonian rocks of the Chalcurs Bay Synclinorium are juxtaposed against polydeformed Cambro-Ordovician rocks of the Bathurst Mining Camp along the northerly trending Portage Brook Fault. Rocks of the Chaleurs Group have been identified for the first time west of the Portage Brook Fault, and are subdivided into four lithological units: conglomerate, sandstone and siltstone of the Simpsons Field Formation; mafic volcanic rocks of the Bryant Point Formation; felsic volcanic rocks … Show more

“…For example, the Middle Ordovician bentonites within the Trenton carbonate succession in the eastern US are proposed as an indicator for such a link between active arc volcanism, elevated heat flow and hydrothermal dolomitization (Davies and Smith, 2006). Significant volumes of arc to back-arc mafic volcanism of Early Silurian age are known in northern New Brunswick (Bryan Point Formation; Gower and McCutcheon, 1997;van Staal et al, 2003), in adjacent southern Gaspé Peninsula (Restigouche volcanites; Bourque et al, 2001) and in the Témiscouata region (Pointe-aux-Trembles Formation; David and Gariepy, 1990). In Early Silurian, the Tetagouche-Exploits arc (now preserved in central New Brunswick) had a NW-oriented subduction (van Staal et al, 2003) and the final accretion of that composite arc is no younger than Late Silurian (Salinic Orogeny;van Staal, 2005).…”
