The ups and downs of the Canadian Shield. 2, Preliminary results of apatite fission-track analysis from a 3.6 km vertical profile, LaRonde mine, Quebec / N. Pinet. : M183-2/8385E-PDF
"The low-temperature (120-60°C) thermal history of eight samples from a 3.6 km vertical depth profile in the LaRonde Mine (Archean Abitibi greenstone belt, Quebec) has been investigated using apatite fission-track (AFT) analysis. All samples correspond to greywackes of the Cadillac Formation. The AFT ages show a clear younging relationship with depth (increasing temperature), as expected for samples that maintained constant relative depths over time. Ages vary from 413 ± 51 Ma near the surface, to 148.5 ± 6.3 Ma for the deepest sample. Forward and inverse modeling indicate that a scenario with a constant temperature or minor heating during the Paleozoic better accounts for the fission track length distributions than a scenario with a constant cooling rate. These results support the possibility that the Abitibi region was covered by a sedimentary succession of moderate thickness during the Paleozoic"--Abstract, p. 2.
