Calc-Silicate Rocks in the Wollaston Lake Area, Saskatchewan

The Hollaston Lake area is underlain by infracrustal rocks of the Daly Lake Group which constitutes the major part of the Hollaston Lake fold belt. Shape , greywacke , and arkose metamorphosed to the amphibolite facies of the Abukuma series form most of the. Group. In the Hollaston Lake area, the Hi...
