Stratigraphy, petrology, and geochemistry of the North Touak-Cape Dyer volcanic belt, and implications for the tectonic setting of the Paleoproterozoic Hoare Bay group, eastern Baffin Island

Stratigraphy, petrology, and geochemistry of the North Touak-Cape Dyer volcanic belt, and implications for the tectonic setting of the Paleoproterozoic Hoare Bay group, eastern Baffin Island

During the Geological Survey of Canada’s Cumberland Peninsula Integrated Geoscience project a ~150km long NE-SW trending volcanic belt, now termed the North Touak-Cape Dyer volcanic belt, was mapped. The volcanic rocks that comprise the belt are dominantly green weathering komatiitic rocks with so...
