Continents never forget: seismological record of lithospheric deformation 1 billion years ago Available to Purchase
Abstract A seismic array extended from the Grenville Province into the Abitibi and Opatica subprovinces of the Superior Province, Canada. We use P-to-S converted waves in seismograms of distant earthquakes to probe boundaries in seismic properties, and demonstrate the presence of a prominent seismic feature that dips NNW into the mantle beneath the Grenville Front. We use two variants of receiver function (RF) analysis, a common conversion-point (CCP) imaging that combines seismic signals from multiple paths connecting sources and receivers, and harmonic decomposition of RF data that separates signals according to their direction in the cone of paths from which the signals have come. CCP images show the crust beneath the Grenville Province to be thicker than beneath the Superior Province, and identify a NNW-dipping boundary beneath the Grenville Front. Harmonic RF analysis shows that this feature is associated with seismic anisotropy in upper-mantle peridotite, and that this anisotropic feature extends to depths of at least 70 km. We interpret the feature as the result of a NNW-dipping shear zone formed within the mantle lithosphere during the Grenvillian continental collision. It could have accommodated internal deformation within Laurentian lithosphere or, more speculatively, mark the contact with the impacting Amazonian lithosphere.

Sedimentary processes, provenance, and tectonic control on fluvial sandstone geochemistry during Superior craton stabilization Available to Purchase
ABSTRACT The Neoarchean marked an important turning point in the evolution of Earth when cratonization processes resulted in progressive amalgamation of relatively small crustal blocks into larger and thicker continental masses, which now comprise the ancient core of our continents. Although evidence of cratonization is preserved in the ancient continental cores, the conditions under which this geodynamic process operated and the nature of the involved crustal blocks are far from resolved. In the Superior craton, deep-crustal fault systems developed during the terminal stage of Neoarchean cratonization, as indicated by the cratonwide growth of relatively small, narrow, syn-to-late tectonic (ca. 2680–2670 Ma) sedimentary basins. The terrigenous debris eroded from the uplifted tectono-magmatic source regions was deposited as polymictic conglomerate and sand successions in fluvial-dominated basins. The composition of the sedimentary rocks in these unique basins, therefore, offers a unique record of crustal sources and depositional settings, with implications for the geodynamic processes that formed the world’s largest preserved craton. Here, we compare the geochemical compositions of sandstone samples from six sedimentary basins across the Abitibi greenstone belt and relate them to their mode of deposition, prevailing provenance, and geodynamic setting during crustal growth and craton stabilization. The sandstones represent first-cycle sediment that is poorly sorted and compositionally very immature, with variable Al 2 O 3 /TiO 2 ratios and index of chemical variability values >1 (average of 1.36), reflecting a large proportion of framework silicate grains. The sandstones display chemical index of alteration values between 45 and 64 (average of 53), indicating that the detritus was eroded from source regions that experienced a very low degree of chemical weathering. This likely reflects a high-relief and active tectonic setting that could facilitate rapid erosion and uplift with a short transit time of the detritus from source to deposition. Multi-element variation diagrams and rare earth element patterns reveal that the lithological control on sandstone composition was dominated by older (>2695 Ma) pretectonic tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite and greenstone belt rocks. The sandstone units display large variations in the proportions of felsic, mafic, and ultramafic end-member contributions as a consequence of provenance variability. However, an average sandstone composition of ~65% felsic, ~30% mafic, and ~5% komatiite was observed across the basins. This observation is in agreement with recent models that predict the composition of the Neoarchean emerged continental crust for North America and supports the presence of a felsic-dominated Archean crust. The high proportion of felsic rocks in the upper crust requires continuous influx of H 2 O into the mantle and is best explained by subduction-related processes. In such a scenario, the detritus of the fluvial sandstones is best described as being controlled by uplifted and accreted continental arcs mainly composed of tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite and greenstone belt rocks.
