| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
Sedimentary basins provide an archive of magmatic and tectonic events in their detrital zircon record, which can be dated and coupled with Hf isotopic data to
reveal secular changes in the production of juvenile and evolved magmatism and track the history of orogenic events. The Rae craton, which forms a substantial portion of the northern Canadian Shield, experienced successive orogenic events along its
margins during most of the Paleoproterozoic Era. Yet, some of these orogenic events are poorly defined and their details remain controversial. We present coupled detrital zircon U-Pb age and ?Hf data from Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary successions
of the eastern Rae craton. The zircon preserve an archive of ~600 million yr of magmatic and tectonic history on the Rae craton and its periphery. The U-Pb and Hf isotopic data indicate that zircon provenance was dominantly from the northern and
western Rae craton, where magmatic and tectonic activity was focused during the ~2.5 to 2.3 Ga Arrowsmith orogeny and the ~2.0 to ~1.93 Ga Taltson and Thelon events. Our detrital zircon dataset holds a more complete record of these Proterozoic
orogenic events than is currently defined from known and dated crustal rocks on the Rae craton and shows that juvenile magmatism is more common than current models for either event suggest. Notably, an inverted U or horseshoe-shaped Hf array (?15.5
to +5.0) in our zircon dataset reflects a Wilson cycle that began in the earliest Paleoproterozoic on the Rae craton. |
