“…Rey, Teyssier, Kruckenberg, and Whitney (2011), Meyer, Passchier, Abu-Alam, and St€ uwe (2014), and Roger et al (2015) suggest that core complexes may be present, but unrecognized, along worldwide crustal-scale strike-slip shear zones. In the south-west Grenville Province, inherited deep-crustal strike-slip shear zones have been recognized from gravity data (Dufr echou & Harris, 2013), and Soucy La Roche, Gervais, Tremblay, Crowley, & Ruffet (2015) described the role of regional shear zones in exhuming mid-crustal rocks during post-orogenic collapse. Although regional shear zones widely affect the Grenville Province (Dufr echou, Harris, & Corriveau, 2014;Dufr echou, Harris, Corriveau, & Antonoff, 2015), their role in the exhumation of deep crustal units and gneiss domes remains generally undocumented.…”
