“…We find that the Jacobsville's zircon age distribution differs from that observed elsewhere for sedimentary rocks in North America's interior derived from the Grenville orogeny, such as Middle Run and equivalent sandstones in Ohio and Kentucky (Baranoski, Dean, Wicks, & Brown, 2009; Santos et al., 2002), in the Amundsen and Mackenzie basins of northwest Canada (Rainbird et al., 2017), and in the Hazel Formation of Texas (Spencer, Prave, Cawood, & Roberts, 2014). The Jacobsville has a relatively small percentage of zircons from the Ottawa (1,090–1,030 Ma) phase, but a larger percentage of Shawinigan (1,200–1,140 Ma), like rocks from southwestern Laurentia (Mulder et al., 2017) and Kentucky (Moecher, Bowersox, & Hickman, 2018), and perhaps the Middle Run. In contrast, there is a large Ottawa peak and a smaller Shawinigan peak for rocks in the Amundsen and Mackenzie basins of northwest Canada.…”
