The Flinton Group: a late Precambrian metasedimentary succession in the Grenville Province of eastern Ontario

Abstract: Clastic and carbonate metasediments, preserved in narrow synclines, have been correlated over an area of 2000 kmz. These strata, the Flinton Group, lie unconformably on metamorphosed volcanic, clastic, and carbonate rocks, and on large granitic intrusions. The group, which comprises six formations, has undergone at least two major folding episodes and one main regional metamorphism of varying grade. The only post-Flinton intrusions are pegmatites at high grade and one tectonically emplaced ultramafic slice.Dep… Show more

“…1150 Ma (McLelland et al 1988;Chiarenzelli and McLelland 1991;Mezger et al 1991aMezger et al , 1993. This coincides with the timing of the Elzevirian Orogeny, the first part of what is known as the Grenville orogenic cycle (Moore and Thompson 1980). The Adirondack Highlands, separated from the Lowlands by the CCSZ, consist of primarily metaigneous rocks metamorphosed to granulite-facies conditions.…”

“…Il y a des évidences de l'existence d'une marge active, avec subduction-accrétion et formation d'arc (Hoffman, 1989;Holmden et Dickin, 1995) le long du sud-est de Laurentia durant plus de 400 Ma (figure 2.1 B à D), du tardi-paléoprotérozoïque au tardimésoprotérozoïque (Rivers, 1997). En ajout à la marge laurentienne viennent des éléments crustaux juvéniles comprenant des arcs magmatiques et des dépôts d'arrière arc (figure 2.1 C à F) entre 1.71 et 1.61 (Hoffman, 1989) Hastings/Frontenac (Easton, 1992;Brown et al, 1975;Condie et Moore, 1977) et Wakeham/Seal Lake (Loveridge, 1986;Martignole et al, 1994;Clark et Machado, 1996), l'environnement d'arrière arc en extension des dykes de Michael-Shabogamo (Gower et al, 1990), les granites alcalins et les complexes anorthositiques (Emslie et Stirling, 1993;Higgins et van Breemen, 1995 (Gower et al, 1992;Krogh et al, 1996, Moore et Thompson, 1980 (Davidson, 1984(Davidson, , 1995Green et al, 1988;Rivers et al, 1989Rivers et al, , 1993Rivers et al, , 1997Forsyth et al, 1994;Eaton et al, 1995).…”
