    Abstract: Many auriferous veins dated at ~370 Ma in the Meguma terrane of Nova Scotia are concentrated in tight domes, and conical fold hinges that are transected by 378 Ma low-pressure and high-temperature metamorphic isograds and 380370 Ma granitoid plutons. Published experiments suggest that such folds are diachronous initiating at inhomogeneities and propagating both in amplitude and along their length. Thus fold terminations are typically conical in geometry and record only the youngest increment of folding. The northeastern termination of the Oldham anticline is characterized by (1) a conical fold, (2) saddle reef auriferous veins, (3) divergent and convergent cleavage fans, (4) a downdip lineation on the slaty cleavage defined by biotitic mineral aggregates inferred to have developed during fold growth. The age of the biotitic mineral aggregates is bracketed between peak metamorphism at 〉 600°C, defined by a nearly concordant 378 Ma UPb monazite age from a xenolith in lamprophyre dyke, and ~366 Ma 40 Ar/ 39 Ar muscovitebiotite ages, recording cooling through ~400300°C. This suggests that the conical termination of the Oldham anticline grew between 378 and 366 Ma, an observation that reconciles the empirical structural control of the saddle reef auriferous veins with the ~370 Ma age dating of vein minerals. Application of this conclusion to saddle reef auriferous veins in domes suggests that mineralization was related to the youngest increment of fold amplification.

    Abstract: Rocks from the Blair River inlier of Northern Cape Breton Island (Nova Scotia, Canada) have been correlated with either the Grenville basement of eastern Laurentia or the accreted Avalon terrane. Additional zircon U-Pb dates of spatially associated anorthositic dykes (425.1±2.2 Ma) and a metagabbro (423.8±2.5 Ma) from the Fox Back Ridge intrusion of the Blair River inlier reveal Late Silurian emplacement ages. Their contemporaneity suggests that they may be members of a larger intrusive complex. The anorthositic rocks have high Eu/Eu∗ values ( & gt;2.5), and bulk compositions are similar to the mineral compositions of labradorite (An50-70) and andesine (An30-50). The metagabbro is compositionally similar to alkali basalt and does not seem to have been affected by crustal contamination (Nb/U & gt;24; Th/NbPM≤1.1) although it was metamorphosed. The high Tb/YbN (1.8-1.9) ratios suggest that the parental magma of the metagabbro was derived from a garnet-bearing peridotite. Fractional crystallization and mass balance calculations indicate that the anorthositic rocks can be derived by mineral accumulation from a mafic parental magma similar in composition to the metagabbro of this study. The Late Silurian ages suggest that the rocks were emplaced into the Avalon terrane after the closure of the Iapetus Ocean but before Early Devonian (415-410 Ma) sinistral transpression.

    Abstract: Ordovician and Siluro-Lower Devonian magmatic rocks in the northern Appalachians south of the Iapetus suture are currently interpreted as distinct belts composed of multiple, small, peri-Gondwanan terranes that amalgamated during the sequential closures of Iapetus (latest Ordovician), the Tetagouche backarc basin (early Silurian), the Acadian seaway (Siluro-Devonian), and the Rheic Ocean (Devono-Carbonferous) (multiple terrane model). Here, the Siluro-Lower Devonian magmatic belts are shown to have slab failure affinities and together with the Ordovician arcs form paired belts parallel to the Iapetus suture, which suggests that they were emplaced along the common, peri-Avalonian margin during pre- and post-collisional processes. The Iapetan suture and the paired belts are inferred to repeat in Atlantic Canada due to dextral, strike-slip processes of mid-Late Devonian or younger age (terrane wreck model). In Newfoundland, the repetition is inferred to be the result of oblique, dextral offset of ca. 250 km. In the Quebec Embayment, the Iapetan paired magmatic belts are repeated twice in the limbs of a Z-shaped orocline related to oblique, dextral offsets of ca. 1200 km of the southern limb. Limited Siluro-Devonian paleomagnetic data indicate no paleolatitudinal differences across the Iapetus suture, however ca. 100° post-mid Silurian clockwise rotation is indicated for the middle fold limb; these data favour the terrane wreck model. The terrane wreck model results in a simple tectonic scenario of southerly subduction of Iapetus beneath a single ribbon continent (Avalonia sensu lato) that was subsequently deformed.

    Abstract: Current Ediacaran–Cambrian, paleogeographic reconstructions place Avalonia, Carolinia and Ganderia (Greater Avalonia) at high paleolatitudes off northwestern Gondwana (NW Africa and/or Amazonia), and locate NW Gondwana at either high or low paleolatitudes. All of these reconstructions are incompatible with 550 Ma Avalonian paleomagnetic data, which indicate a paleolatitude of 20–30ºS for Greater Avalonia and oriented with the present-day southeast margin on the northwest side. Ediacaran, Cambrian and Early Ordovician fauna in Avalonia are mainly endemic, which suggests that Greater Avalonia was an island microcontinent. Except for the degree of Ediacaran deformation, the Neoproterozoic geological records of mildly deformed Greater Avalonia and the intensely deformed Bolshezemel block in the Timanian orogen into eastern Baltica raise the possibility that they were originally along strike from one another, passing from an island microcontinent to an arc-continent collisional zone, respectively. Such a location and orientation is consistent with: (i) Ediacaran (580–550 Ma) ridge-trench collision leading to transform motion along the backarc basin; (ii) the reversed, ocean-to-continent polarity of the Ediacaran cratonic island arc recorded in Greater Avalonia; (iii) derivation of 1–2 Ga and 760–590 Ma detrital zircon grains in Greater Avalonia from Baltica and the Bolshezemel block (NE Timanides); and (iv) the similarity of 840–1760 Ma TDM model ages from detrital zircon in pre-Uralian–Timanian and Nd model ages from Greater Avalonia. During the Cambrian, Greater Avalonia rotated 150º counterclockwise ending up off northwestern Gondwana by the beginning of the Ordovician, after which it migrated orthogonally across Iapetus to amalgamate with eastern Laurentia by the Late Ordovician–Early Silurian. SOMMAIRELes reconstitutions paléogéographiques courantes de l’Édiacarien-Cambrien placent l’Avalonie ,la Carolinia et la Ganderia (Grande Avalonie) à de hautes paléolatitudes au nord-ouest du Gondwana (N-O de l'Afrique et/ou de l'Amazonie), et placent le N-O du Gondwana à de hautes ou de basses paléolatitudes.  Toutes ces reconstitutions sont incompatibles avec des données avaloniennes de 550 Ma, lesquelles indiquent une paléolatitude de 20-30º S pour la Grande Avalonie et orientée à la marge sud-est d’aujourd'hui sur le côté nord-ouest.  Les faunes édicacariennes, cambriennes et de l'Ordovicien précoce dans l’Avalonie sont principalement endémiques, ce qui permet de penser que la Grande Avalonie était une île de microcontinent.  Sauf pour le degré de déformation édiacarienne, les registres géologiques néoprotérozoïques d’une Grande Avalonie légèrement déformée et ceux du bloc intensément déformé de Bolshezemel dans l'orogène Timanian dans l’est de la Baltica soulèvent la possibilité qu'ils aient été à l'origine de même direction,  passant d'une île de microcontinent à une zone de collision d’arc continental, respectivement.  Un tel emplacement et une telle orientation sont compatibles avec: (i) un contexte de collision crête-fosse à l’Édiacarien (580-550 Ma) se changeant en un mouvement de transformation le long du bassin d’arrière-arc; (ii) l’inversion de polarité de marine à continentale, de l’arc insulaire cratonique édicarien observé dans la Grande Avalonie; (iii) la présence de grains de zircons détritiques de 1 à 2 Ga et 760-590 Ma de la Grande Avalonie issus de la Baltica et du bloc Bolshezemel (N-E des Timanides); et (iv) la similarité des âges modèles de 840-1760 Ma TDM de zircons détritiques pré-ourallien-timanien, et des âges modèles Nd de la Grande Avalonie.  Durant le Cambrien, la Grande Avalonie a pivoté de 150° dans le sens antihoraire pour se retrouver au nord-ouest du Gondwana au début de l'Ordovicien, après quoi elle a migré orthogonalement à travers l’océan Iapetus pour s’amalgamer à la bordure est de la Laurentie à la fin de l’Ordovicien-début du Silurien.

    Abstract: Cambrian volcanic rocks in Nova Scotia occur in small grabens or half grabens in the Avalon Zone (Composite Terrane) as part of a thin sequence of continental to shallow-marine Cambro-Ordovician rocks. In the northern Antigonish Highlands, the volcanic rocks occur mainly in the Lower Cambrian McDonalds Brook Group. In southern Cape Breton Island, they occur predominantly in the Middle Cambrian Bourinot Group. The chemistry of these volcanic rocks indicates that they are bimodal (basalts–rhyolites) and within plate. The basalts are alkalic in the Antigonish Highlands and tholeiitic in Cape Breton Island. The rising basaltic magma is postulated to have produced the felsic magma by anatexis of the crust. It is proposed that the Antigonish Highlands volcanic rocks erupted in a small pull-apart basin. A similar structural setting is probable in southern Cape Breton Island, but there the bounding faults are poorly exposed. These basins probably formed during a period of transpression in the last stages of the late Hadrynian Cadomian deformation.

    Abstract: The circular Bokan Mountain complex (BMC) on southern Prince of Wales Island, southernmost Alaska, is a Jurassic peralkaline granitic intrusion about 3 km in diameter that crosscuts igneous and metasedimentary rocks of the Alexander terrane. The BMC hosts significant rare metal (rare earth elements, Y, U, Th, Zr, and Nb) mineralization related to the last stage of BMC emplacement. U–Pb (zircon) and 40 Ar/ 39 Ar (amphibole and whole-rock) geochronology indicates the following sequence of intrusive activity: (i) a Paleozoic basement composed mainly of 469 ± 4 Ma granitic rocks; (ii) intrusion of the BMC at 177 ± 1 Ma followed by rapid cooling through ca. 550 °C at 176 ± 1 Ma that was synchronous with mineralization associated with vertical, WNW-trending pegmatites, felsic dikes, and aegirine–fluorite veins and late-stage, sinistral shear deformation; and (iii) intrusion of crosscutting lamprophyre dikes at 〉 150 Ma and again at ca. 105 Ma. The peralkaline nature of the BMC and the WNW trend of associated dikes suggest intrusion during NE–SW rifting that was followed by NE–SW shortening during the waning stages of BMC emplacement. The 177 Ma BMC was synchronous with other magmatic centres in the Alexander terrane, such as (1) the Dora Bay peralkaline stock and (2) the bimodal Moffatt volcanic suite located ∼30 km north and ∼100 km SE of the BMC, respectively. This regional magmatism is interpreted to represent a regional extensional event that precedes deposition of the Late Jurassic – Cretaceous Gravina sequence that oversteps the Wrangellia and Alexander exotic accreted terranes and the Taku and Yukon–Tanana pericratonic terranes of the Canadian–Alaskan Cordillera.
