A) Location map showing the Archean Slave craton surrounded by three synchronous Paleoproterozoic basins: Wopmay Orogen, Kilihigok Basin, and the Athapuscow Basin of the Great Slave Lake area (inset map). GBL = Great Bear Lake; CG = Coronation Gulf; BI = Bathurst Inlet. B) Simplified geologic map, Athapuscow Basin, East Arm of Great Slave Lake (modified from Hoffman 1988). The Great Slave Lake Supergroup crops out in a gently south-plunging synclinorium with shallow dips on the northwest limb and steep, in many places overturned, and thrusted limbs, on the southeast limb. Areas of uppermost Pethei Group and Stark Formation outcrops studied are shown in black. BI, Blanchet Island; ET, Et-then Island; PT, Pte a Tuer; PP, Pethei Peninsula; TB, Tochatwi Bay; SL, Stark Lake; BL, Belle Island; CI, Caribou Islands. The Blanchet Bay area is outlined by the irregular rectangle. C) Generalized stratigraphic column in the upper right shows the inferred correlation of units and phases of basin development in the Wopmay Orgogen, the Kilihigok Basin, and the Athapuscow Basin (modified from Hoffman 1988; Hoffman and Grotzinger 1993; Bowring and Grotzinger 1992).

Proposed model for shear zone and brittle conjugate fault development associated with the Slave indentation during the Slave–Rae collision. The axis of maximum horizontal stress, σh, is oriented approximately west–east. (a) The southern face of the Slave indenter first collides at an oblique angle to the Rae margin and forms the right-lateral Great Slave Lake shear zone (GSLSZ). Peak metamorphic grade mylonite developed at ca. 1980–1924 Ma and ca. 1977 Ma along the southwestern and northeastern segments of the GSLSZ, respectively (Hanmer et al. 1992). (b) The frontal face of the Slave indenter subsequently collides orthogonal to the Rae margin. This orthogonal collision is represented in this study by the precursor ductile flattening fabric, ca. 1933–1895 Ma, along the Bathurst fault trend. (c) After ca. 1840 Ma, the brittle conjugate strike-slip Bathurst fault (BF) and McDonald fault (MF) localised along the pre-existing mutually orthogonal ductile fabric.

The roots of two westward-facing asynchronous Orosirian magmatic arcs and their respective hinterlands are exposed in the northwest corner of the Canadian Shield (modified after Hoffman 1987a). The early Orosirian (2.07−1.96 Ga) Taltson−Thelon magmatic arc was a product of eastward subduction beneath the leading edge of Rae province (Siderian Arrowsmith orogen), culminating in a collision with the Slave craton at 1.97 Ga. The late Orosirian (1.88−1.84 Ga) Great Bear magmatic arc was a product of eastward subduction beneath the leading edge of Slave craton, including the newly accreted Rhyacian Hottah terrane (green) and peraluminous magmatism (Hepburn Intrusive Suite) synchronous with the Hottah−Slave collision (Calderian orogeny) at 1.88 Ga, which resulted from westward subduction of a Coronation paleocean that opened soon after 2.014 Ga. Wopmay orogen includes the Great Bear arc and zones 2−4: zone 1, autochthonous Orosirian cover (Coronation Supergroup) on Slave craton, comprising passive-margin (Epworth Group) and Calderian foredeep (Recluse Group) strata; zone 2, a thin-skinned foreland thrust-fold belt involving passive-margin shelf facies and foredeep strata; zone 3, thrust sheets of passive-margin slope facies and initial-rift deposits (Melville Group, ≥2014 Ma); zone 4, Rhyacian Hottah terrane klippe, including syncollisional volcanics (Akaitcho Group) and granitoids (Hepburn Intrusive Suite) and its Barrovian metamorphic envelope, underthrust by the rifted leading edge of Slave craton; zone 5. Rhyacian Hottah terrane basement external to Slave craton, overlain and intruded by Great Bear arc igneous rocks. The Great Bear arc was initiated by a subduction flip following the Hottah−Slave collision. Blue areas are Orosirian cover on Slave craton: pale blue, autochthons; medium blue, shelf-facies allochthons; dark blue, off-shelf allochthons. Yellow areas are post-orogenic (1.7−0.7 Ga) basins. Magenta and white lines with crosses are synclinal axes of long-wavelength basement-involved D2 folds. Pale gray is Phanerozoic cover and uncoloured areas are major water bodies.

Figure 3. Neoproterozoic reconstruction of Siberian craton and western Laurentia. Siberian craton facies are after Pelachaty et al. (1996); Laurentian facies are after Ross et al. (1995), Ross (1991), and Stewart (1972). Eastern margin of Windermere basin was west-dipping detachment fault (Warren, 1997). Uplifted footwall provided coarse feldspathic clastic sediments to asymmetric rift that opened north of Great Slave Lake shear zone (GSLSZ) and Angara-belt margin of Siberia into older ocean basin with Neoproterozoic shelf-slope break (Dalrymple and Narbonne, 1996). Peace River arch (PRA) formed source area at rift corner. Neoproterozoic carbonate shelf and slope on Siberia faced uplifted rift margin on Laurentia that provided granitic basement source rocks for gritty turbidites in northwest-flowing sediment dispersal system in Windermere Supergroup of Laurentia (Ross et al., 1995). Ediacaran fauna (E) occur in off-shelf environments on both margins.
