Origin and tectonometamorphic history of the Repulse Bay block, Melville Peninsula, Nunavut: exotic terrane or deeper level of the Rae craton?

Abstract: The Rae craton on Melville Peninsula, Nunavut, comprises several lithotectonic domains, including a structurally and lithologically distinct yet poorly known crustal terrane, the Repulse Bay block (RBb). This study presents new lithological and petrographic observations, combined with U-Pb zircon data, to better understand the Archean and Paleoproterozoic crustal evolution of the RBb. The new data demonstrate that the central-eastern RBb consists of the following: (i) upper amphibolite-to granulite-facies, ca.… Show more

“…These rocks are intruded by 2.72–2.68 Ga tonalite and voluminous 2.63–2.58 Ga monzogranitic plutons [ Hinchey et al ., and references therein]; Nd model ages of 2.87–2.52 Ga suggest predominantly juvenile isotopic source regions for these rocks [ Peterson et al ., ]. These latter plutons occur from northwestern Saskatchewan at least as far east as the Melville Peninsula [ LaFlamme et al ., ] and represent the final cratonizing event of the Rae craton [ Berman et al ., ]. Re depletion model ages from underlying mantle peridotite are 3.0–2.5 Ga and indicate that crust and uppermost mantle formed or differentiated synchronously [ Liu et al ., ].…”

“…The Repulse Bay block lies east of the Committee Bay block and includes the Melville Peninsula and Southampton Island (Figure ). This block is characterized by the 2.97 Ga volcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Prince Albert greenstone belt [ Frisch , ], also intruded by 2.63–2.58 Ga monzogranitic plutons [ LaFlamme et al ., ]. The plutons are locally metamorphosed to amphibolite or granulite grade and have 3.63–2.84 Ga Nd model ages.…”
