The Gander–Avalon Zone boundary in southeastern Newfoundland
The Dover Fault, characterized by a 300–500 m wide mylonite zone, separates the Gander and Avalon Zones in northeastern Newfoundland and formed in association with the Precambrian regional deformation that overprints these zones. In southern Newfoundland, foliated granitic rocks of the Gander Zone a...
