Cambrian–Lower Ordovician of SW Quebec–NE New York Available to Purchase
ABSTRACT The Ottawa aulacogen/graben on the NE US—Canadian (SW Quebec and eastern Ontario) border is a long ENE-trending structure formed with initial late Neo proterozoic rifting of the Rodinia supercontinent. This rifting formed the active spreading arms (New York Promontory and Quebec Reentrant) along the (presently) NE margin of the new Laurentia paleocontinent, with the Ottawa aulacogen commonly regarded as a failed arm of the rifting. However, no sediment accumulation in the aulacogen is recorded until the late early Cambrian subsidence of a SE- trending belt that includes the aulacogen and its extension, the Franklin Basin, in NW Vermont. Late early Cambrian marine onlap (Altona Formation) followed by more rapid late middle Cambrian subsidence and deposition of fluviatile arkoses (Covey Hill Formation of SW Quebec and Ausable Formation/Member of eastern New York) record rapid foundering of this “failed arm.” Subsequent deposition (latest middle Cambrian–Early Ordovician) in the Ottawa aulacogen produced a vertical succession of lithofacies that are fully comparable with those of the shelf of the New York Promontory. One of the greatest challenges in summarizing the geological history of the Ottawa aulacogen is the presence of a duplicate stratigraphic nomenclature with lithostratigraphic names changing as state and provincial borders are crossed. RÉSUMÉ L’aulacogène/graben d’Ottawa, situé sur la frontière entre le NE des États-Unis et le Canada (SW du Québec et est de l’Ontario), est une longue structure d’orientation ENE formée au Néoprotérozoïque tardif durant le rifting initial du supercontinent Rodinia. Ce rifting a aussi mené à la formation de segments à expansion active (promontoire de New York et réentrant de Québec) le long de la marge NE (coordonnées actuelles) du nouveau paléo-continent Laurentia, avec l’aulacogène d’Ottawa qui est généralement considéré comme un segment de rift avorté. Toutefois, aucune accumulation de sediments n’est documentée au sein de l’aulacogène avant la fin du Cambrien précoce, période durant laquelle une ceinture d’orientation SE, representée par l’aulacogène et son prolongement dans le bassin de Franklin vers le NW du Vermont, a subi une subsidence. La sedimentation marine de la fin du Cambrien précoce (Formation d’Altona) a été suivie d’une subsidence rapide à la fin du Cambrien moyen et de la déposition d’arkoses fluviatiles (Formation de Covey Hill dans le SW du Québec et la Formation/Membre d’Ausable dans l’est de l’état de New York) qui ont enregistré un affaissement rapide de ce “bras avorté.” La sédimentation subséquente (Cambrien moyen tardif–Ordovicien inférieur) au sein de l’aulacogène d’Ottawa a produit une succession verticale de lithofaciès qui sont comparables à ceux de la plate-forme du promontoire de New York. Un des principaux défis dans la synthèse de l’histoire géologique de l’aulacogène d’Ottawa demeure la duplication des termes stratigraphiques de part et d’autre des frontières interprovinciales et entre les différents états.
