AbstractThe northeastern part of the Neoarchean MacQuoid supracrustal belt comprises the Gibson- MacQuoid homoclinal belt of homogeneous metasedimentary rocks, tonalitic orthogneiss units and plutons, structurally overlain to the north by a belt of mafic to intermediate volcanic flows and volcaniclastic rocks, intruded by tonalitic to granodiorite plutons. The Cross Bay plutonic complex is separated from the supracrustal belt by the Big lake shear zone. Metamorphosed, ca. 2.19 Ga, mafic dykes are involved in Paleoproterozoic regional deformation in both the plutonic complex and the shear zone.
