Contents

This report presents a summary of petrographic descriptions, whole-rock chemistry, and mineral composition of olivine, pyroxenes, plagioclase, and ilmenite of the gabbroic rocks collected from the Soisson Intrusive Suite in the northwestern part of the Core Zone, within the southeastern Churchill Province (Quebec). This dataset supports a petrological, geochemical, and geochronological study to be published in the scientific journal Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences.
