Title: SCLM rifting and regional shearing in the N American Superior Craton − Implications for deformation, mineralization, and tectonic reconstructions.
Abstract: Poster to accompany the talk by Harris & Bédard at the Structural & Tectonics Forum.
A symmetrical rift in the sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) is portrayed for the Abitibi Subprovince of the Superior Craton. Gravity and aeromagnetic images portray regional structures interpreted to have formed during indentation of the o N Superior Craton in response to mantle flow acting upon its deep lithospheric keel, and not subduction-related processes. Early rift structures localized ca. 2696 Ma deformation and hydrothermal fluid flow and younger kimberlite emplacement. Correlations are made with the Baltic Belomorian Province.
