GRENVILLIAN METAMORPHISM OF MONOCYCLIC ROCKS, GEORGIAN BAY, ONTARIO, CANADA: IMPLICATIONS FOR CONVERGENCE HISTORY

Metamorphism of the Canadian Shield, Ontario, Canada. Ii. Proterozoic Metamorphic History

This paper is a complement to the Tectonometamorphic Map of the Canadian Shield, and contains a brief description of the metamorphic history of Proterozoic orogenic belts and rock sequences in the Canadian Shield in Ontario, with a focus on rocks of the Southern and Grenville provinces. Metamorphism in the Southern Province has generally been attributed to the Penokean orogeny (~1879–1820 Ma), ...

Metamorphism of the Canadian Shield, Ontario, Canada. I. the Superior Province

This paper is an outgrowth of the compilation of metamorphic information for the Canadian Shield in Ontario, and complements the recently compiled Metamorphic Map of the Canadian Shield. The paper contains a summary of the Archean metamorphic history of the Superior Province in Ontario on a subprovince basis, with an emphasis on the limitations of the existing data and the reasoning applied in ...

Shock Metamorphism in Impact Melt Rocks

The sedimentation history of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay: results from analysis of seismic reflection profiles

An extensive seismic reflection profile survey conducted concun:ently with a sediment coring program in northern Lake Huron, Georgian Bay, and the North Channel revealed a detailed Holocene lake level history. Seven acoustic sequences were identified in the seismic stratigraphy, and these sequences show great variation in both the character and the spatial distribution of sediment deposition th...

Lake Bosumtwi Drilling Project: Shock Metamorphism in Rocks from Core

General context: Shock barometry via petrographic analysis helps to understand cratering mechanics, especially mass movements in the central uplift, including its collapse in the late stage of cratering. Shock pressures recorded in lithologies of the central uplift may exceed 45 GPa, e.g., in the Vorotilovo core drilled into the center of the Puchezh-Katunki structure [1]. In other craters, sho...
