| Abstract | A brief report is presented on the early stages of our study of the ca. 1.1 Ga Mid-continent Rift system, which hosts a diverse range of intrusions, many of which are mineralized and are being actively
explored. Key questions to be ad-dressed by this study are the localization of the mineralized intrusions, and whether we can resolve, through addition-al and more precise U-Pb geochronology, clear temporal, spatial, and tectonic patterns that link
the various intrusions to the overall evolution of the rift system, and to specific stages of the flood basalt sequence. An initial compilation is presented of all known intrusions and their associated questions. |
