Download or read book Geology of the Appalachian Caledonian Orogen in Canada and Greenland written by Harold Williams and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 1995 with total page 951 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the Canadian Appalachian region. The chapter on the East Greenland Caledonides stands alone and there is no attempt to integrate the geological accounts of the two far removed regions. Rocks of the Canadian Appalachian region are described under four broad temporal divisions: lower Paleozoic and older, middle Paleozoic, upper Paleozoic, and Mesozoic. The rocks of these temporal divisions define geographic zones, belts, basins, and graben, respectively. The area is of special interest because so many modern concepts of mountain building are based on Appalachian rocks & structures.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping, petrological studies, and U-Pb (zircon) dating have identified four bimodal plutons herein named Gillis Brook, Leonard MacLeod Brook, Easach Ban, and Barren Brook in the southern part of the Ganderian Aspy terrane in Cape Breton Island. The plutons consist mainly of gabbroic to dioritic rocks and syenogranitic rocks which are closely associated and locally display mingled relationships with one another, consistent with their similar ages of ca. 435-430 Ma. They display alkalic to calc-alkalic chemical signatures and it is not clear if they formed in a subduction-related magmatic arc or within-plate extensional setting. They were emplaced at shallow depth and are co-magmatic with their Silurian volcanic and sedimentary host rocks of the Sarach Brook Formation. They are petrologically distinct from and not related to the younger (Devonian) and entirely granitic Bothan Brook pluton which also intruded the Sarach Brook Formation in the same area. None of these plutons shows evidence for significant economic mineralization potential. In contrast, the Devonian Gillis Mountain pluton in the Avalonian Mira terrane of southern Cape Breton Island hosts porphyry-style copper-molybdenum mineralization. New studies of trace element characteristics of surface and drill core samples from the Gillis Mountain pluton confirm previous work which showed that it is calc-alkalic and emplaced in a subduction zone setting, intruded into Cambrian shale and siltstone. The presence of sulphide minerals and elevated background metal contents are evidence of its economic potential. Comparison of these plutons shows contrasts in field and petrological characteristics. These differences are consistent with the fundamental distinction between the Aspy and Mira terranes in terms of origin, geological evolution, and tectonic setting through to the Devonian.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical Appalachian, Caledonian, Hercynian, and Mauritanide orogens are now only segments of a once-continuous Paleozoic mountain belt which has been fragmented during Mesozoic-Cenozoic formation of the North Atlantic Ocean. These segments are major parts of the countries surrounding the North Atlantic - most of which are members of NATO. The aim of this NATO conference was to evaluate these fragments in terms of their pre-Mesozoic positions, and to attempt a synthesis of their geologic evolution on an international and orogen-wide scale. Geologists who have studied these scattered remnants have been separated by both geography and discipline. Orogen-wide syntheses have beeen attempted in the past by individuals who are specialists not only in discipline but also in geography; therefore, these attempts have not been satisfactory to everyone. This conference brought together the foremost specialists in different disciplines from each country. They attempted to teach other specialists, not only in their own fields, but in other disciplines, about regional variations and particular problems. The resulting international cross-fertilization, both within and between speciaLties, enriched individual workers and helped to provide a multi-disciplinary overview of the orogen.
