| Abstract/Notes | Oka and nearby small plutons on the western end of the Monteregian Hills were sampled for paleomagnetic study at 43 sites (569 specimens). Every specimen was AF step demagnetized in 4 kA/m increments to 20 or 24 kA/m. Consistent remanence directions were found for 36 sites (452 specimens). Use of a stability index to select only those specimens with the best defined end points does not improve the site statistics. The Oka, Brilund, Carillon, and Ile Cadieux plutons have statistically similar mean remanence direction populations which are different from the Ste. Dorothée sill direction. Except for one Carillon site, all site mean directions are normally polarized, whereas all nine plutons, except for Mt. Johnson, from the middle and eastern end of the Monteregian Hills are reversely polarized. Normally and reversely polarized plutons give statistically similar but antiparallel pole positions, giving a combined pole position of 169.0°W, 72.4°N (δp = 2.8°, δm = 3.7°), which is consistent with the 120 ± 4 Ma radiometric age. The polarity pattern evidence suggests that Oka and adjacent plutons were emplaced rapidly during one normal polarity interval, and that the Monteregian Hills plutons were emplaced progressively from west to east during two normal and two reversed polarity intervals lasting ~ 2 Ma. This leads to some speculations on the plume and rift modes of emplacement. |
