The Athabasca granulite terrane represents > 20,000 km2 of continental lower crust exposed in the hanging wall of the ca. 1.85 Ga thrust-sense Legs Lake shear zone in the western Canadian Shield. The terrane and the thrust zone are cut by the Grease River shear zone. The structure hosts a syn-tec...
