A geological transect centered on La Romaine village in the eastern Grenville Province reveals a significant eastward extension of the Wakeham Group. A lithological assemblage of lapillistone, amphibolite, marble, and aluminous gneiss is locally mineralized and
bears similarities with the 1.5 Ga supracrustal units newly recognized northwest of Musquaro Lake. These rocks are surrounded by granitic gneiss with recrystallized anorthosite enclaves. A practically undeformed 1 kmthick layered intrusion contains subvertical layers of peridotite, troctolite, and
gabbro, with local Cu mineralization as well as various intrusive breccias. In the study area, two units record polyphase deformation with spectacular interference fold patterns: the eastern margin of the layered intrusion and a tonalitic gneiss of regional extent. Along with the anorthosite
enclaves in the granitic gneiss, these units could be the expression of mafic magmatism and orogenesis of Labradorian age such as those found to the east in the Pinware terrane of Labrador.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
