Regional metamorphism of the Appalachian Humber zone of Gaspé Peninsula: 40 Ar/ 39 Ar evidence for crustal thickening during the Taconian orogeny.

Les études géochronologiques à propos de la chronologie des déformations et du métamorphisme le long de la marge Laurentienne ont montré que l’âge des événements métamorphiques varie le long du segment des Appalaches canadiennes entre Terre-Neuve et le sud du Québec. La Gaspésie est située entre les...

Les âges ordoviciens mesurés dans la zone de Humber interne sont concordants avec les âges 40 Ar/ 39 Ar mesurés dans le sud du Québec et sont interprétés, en Gaspésie, comme représentant l’âge de la mise en place de la nappe ophiolitique et de sa semelle métamorphique sur la marge continentale.
