| Abstract | The principal structural elements in the Gibson Lake- Cross Bay map area are, the Gibson- MacQuoid D2 homocline, overlain with possible structural discordance by a volcanic belt, intruded by Neoarchean,
syn-D2 plutons; and the Cross Bay plutonic complex, wherein S2 is deformed about south-plunging, F3 folds, associated with a coaxial L3 extension lineation, and east- northeast-trending, F4 folds. The plutonic complex is bounded to the south by the
pre-, syn-, and post-D4, dextral, strike-slip Big lake shear zone. Metamorphosed, ca. 2.19 Ga, MacQuoid dykes everywhere postdate S2, but within the Cross Bay complex and the Big lake shear zone they were deformed during D3-D4. Therefore, D3 and D4
are regional Paleoproterozoic events. Granitic plutons within the plutonic complex were intruded after D2 and before D4 fabrics, respectively, and represent Paleoproterozoic magmatic events. |
