Genetic Relationship Between Postcratering Dynamics and Footwall Deposit Formation at Sudbury, Ontario, Canada: Importance for Sulfide Ore Exploration

The nature and origin of the Garson Member of the Onaping Formation, Sudbury impact structure, Canada
The 1.85 Ga Sudbury impact structure is widely accepted to be the erosional remnant of a tectonized 200- to 250-km-diameter multiring basin. The Garson Member of the Onaping Formation in the Whitewater Group immediately overlies the coherent impact melt sheet—the so-called Sudbury igneous complex. It is of particular interest because it is poorly characterized, and its formational history is not well understood. The Garson Member is up to 500 m thick and is restricted locally, occurring along a 25 km strike length over the southeastern lobe of the Sudbury igneous complex. Detailed mapping and sampling of the Garson Member indicate that the dominant clast type is quartzite (>99%), with a few granite and quartz arenite clasts, and with a large range in clast shape and size. Partially annealed, decorated planar deformation features in quartz grains occur within the quartzite clasts, providing evidence for shock metamorphism. This, accompanied by the recrystallized, but equigranular nature of the groundmass, suggests that the Garson Member originated as a clast-rich impact melt rock. Geochemical analysis suggests a close relationship between the Garson Member and the so-called Onaping intrusion. The Garson Member and the Onaping intrusion, which has recently been interpreted as the remnants of the roof rocks of the Sudbury igneous complex, are located within the same stratigraphic context of the impact structure. We suggest, therefore, that the Garson Member and the Onaping intrusion share a similar origin as roof rocks to the Sudbury igneous complex, and they are, therefore, not part of the Whitewater Group but rather the Sudbury igneous complex.

Palaeoproterozoic supracrustals of the Bastar Craton: Dongargarh Supergroup and Sausar Group
Abstract The Bastar Craton of India is composed of Archaean nuclei of tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite gneisses, enveloped by an older granite–greenstone belt (>3000 Ma) with banded iron formation (BIF), and an auriferous younger granite–greenstone belt with BIF. Available geological, geochemical and geochronological data indicate multiple episodes of orogeny with high-grade metamorphism at 3200–3300, 2600–2700, 2100–2200, 1900–2000, 1800–1850, 1500–1600 and 1400–1450 Ma, and continental rifting and basin development marked by emplacement of mafic dyke swarms at c. 2900 (subalkaline mafic dykes; BD-1A), 2480 (high-Mg mafic dykes; BD-1B), 2100 (Fe–tholeiite dykes; BD-2A), 1880 (Fe–tholeiites dykes; BD-2B), 1776 and 1422 Ma. Associations of extensive bimodal volcanics and riftogenic sediments are found in the Neoarchaean and Palaeoproterozoic basins of the craton. Evidence of Palaeoproterozoic (Huronian) glaciation and associated ‘cap carbonate’ followed by deposition of fine clastics with manganese ore is found in the Palaeoproterozoic Sausar Group. The lithological association of the Sausar Group is comparable to the carbonate–tillite association of the Huronian Supergroup, Snowy Pass Supergroup, Transvaal Supergroup and Turee Creek Group. The geological evolution of the Bastar Craton matches that of Western Australia and South Africa. Such similarities can be analysed to develop a unified Palaeoproterozoic assembly for these provinces.

Seismic images of Chicxulub impact melt sheet and comparison with the Sudbury structure
Chicxulub is the only known impact structure on Earth with a fully preserved peak ring, and it forms an important natural laboratory for the study of large impact structures and understanding of large-scale cratering on Earth and other planets. Seismic data collected in 1996 and 2005 reveal detailed images of the uppermost crater in the central basin at Chicxulub. Seismic reflection profiles show a reflective layer ~1 km beneath the apparent crater floor, topped by upwardly concave reflectors interpreted as saucer-shaped sills. The upper part of this reflective layer is coincident with a thin high-velocity layer identified by analyzing refractions on the 6 km seismic streamer data. The high-velocity layer is almost horizontal and appears to be contained within the peak ring structure. We argue that this reflective layer is the predicted coherent melt sheet formed during impact, and it may be comparable with the unit known as the Sudbury Igneous Complex at the Sudbury impact structure. The Sudbury Igneous Complex, interpreted as a differentiated impact melt sheet, appears to have a similar scale and geometry, and an uppermost lithological sequence consisting of a high velocity layer at the top and a velocity inversion beneath. This comparison suggests that the Chicxulub impact structure also contains a coherent differentiated melt sheet.

The ca. 2.45 Ga pyritic uraniferous quartz-pebble conglomerate (UQC) of the Matinenda Formation of the Elliot Lake Group, Huronian Supergroup, was used in this study to investigate the origin of pyrite. A laser-microprobe was used for analysis of the sulfur isotopic compositions of individual pyrite grains, and an electron-probe microanalyzer was used for analysis of the trace element compositions of pyrite grains with overgrowth texture. We found a variation in δ 34 S values among pyrite crystals (73 analyses) of various size and morphologies that occur in a small (∼1 cm 3 ) rock chip: the total range in δ 34 S is −9.0‰ to +5.5‰ with respect to CDT (Cañon Diablo Troilite) with a mean value of +0.6‰ ±2.1‰ (1σ). The widest range of ∼15‰ is found among euhedral pyrite grains whereas variations of ∼4‰ to ∼6‰ are common in anhedral, subhedral, and rounded grains of pyrite. These values are in marked contrast to the δ 34 S values of pyrite from the Matinenda Formation that were obtained by previous investigators using bulk-rock sulfur isotope analyses. We found variable concentrations of Co (below detection to 4700 ppm), Ni (to 1900 ppm), and As (to 3400 ppm) among individual pyrite crystals and within single grains with overgrowth textures. These elemental concentrations are markedly different between core and overgrowth parts of pyrite. We demonstrate that the pyrite grains in the Paleoproterozoic UQC have been isotopically, chemically, and morphologically modified by post-depositional processes, suggesting that the pyrite grains have undergone multiple generations. The results of the present study cannot be explained solely by a detrital process. Therefore, one cannot use the preserved morphology and chemistry of pyrite (and possibly uraninite) to represent the original features at the time of deposition to support the hypothesis of an anoxic atmosphere prior to 2.2 Ga.
