| Abstract | The Daly Bay Complex is a large (2500 2 km in area), sheet-like body of mafic to anorthositic rocks, tonalite, and paragneiss of unknown age that was intruded into the lower crust, possibly during the
Paleoproterozoic. Magmatic advection of heat led to granulite-facies metamorphism, localized within the magmatic body and large panels of aluminous country rock included within it. Initial high-temperature granulite-facies orthopyroxene and
plagioclase metamorphic assemblages were replaced by garnet- and clinopyroxene-bearing assemblages as the complex cooled isobarically. It is improbable that the Daly Bay Complex was tectonically transported any significant dis- tance while
granulite-facies conditions prevailed. |
