| Abstract/Notes | The East Bull Lake Pluton, a layered gabbro–anorthosite intrusion 90 km west of Sudbury, Ontario, is in an inward-dipping lopolith and is 780 m thick in the centre and elliptical in plan view (13.5 km × 3.5 km). It intruded Archean metavolcanic and metaplutonic rocks of the Superior Province during the Early Proterozoic (2480 Ma).The intrusion consistes of a basal anorthositic unit, succeeded by rhythmic-layered gabbro, troctolite, layered gabbro, and massive and dendritic gabbro units. It is offset by the west-northwest-striking, subvertical Folson Lake fault. South of this fault, only anorthosite and massive and dendritic gabbro are exposed. North of the fault, subsurface lithologies intersected by me boreholes correlate with surface lithologies. Troctolite, the most distinctive marker that can be correlated between boreholes and surface exposures, confirms the general attitude and shape of the layers and lopolith.Chemical composition of the intrusion ranges from high-Mg tholeiite to calc-alkaline high-alumina basalts.Fractures occur in several preferred orientations, the most common being northwesterly, subparallel to the Folson Lake fault, numerous mafic dykes, and topographic lineaments. Complex fracture-filling and alteration mineralogies formed under a wide range of P–T conditions representative of epidote-amphibolite – greenschist facies, pumpellyite–prehnite facies, zeolite facies, and low-temperature rock–water interaction processes.The last movement on the Folson Lake fault was a dextral strike slip of up to 3.0 km that postdates most mafic dykes. | ||
