Orogenic ophiolites are a hallmark of Phanerozoic plate tectonics, containing igneous lithologies that provide constraints on fundamental tectono-magmatic processes. The c. 1900Ma Pembine Ophiolite (Wisconsin, USA) is associated with the Penokean Orogen and represents a rare example of a proposed Paleoproterozoic ophiolite. The Penokean Orogen shares broad characteristics with Phanerozoic (<541 Ma) orogens, but the origin of the Pembine Ophiolite remains unclear, with the mafic volcanic rocks interpreted as representing either an intra-oceanic arc or continental back arc setting. To test these hypotheses, we present the results of petrography, bulk-rock geochemistry and mineral chemistry for a suite of 34 Pembine rocks, as well as U-Pb zircon geochronology for two samples. Based on trace elements established as immobile in the studied rocks, we demonstrate that mafic volcanism progressed (up-stratigraphic-section) from mid-ocean ridge-like to boninitic. The chemical evolution is identical to that observed in < 250 Ma ophiolites in the Himalayan–Alpine Orogen, which record forearc spreading during the nascent stages of subduction in the Tethys Ocean. We interpret the Pembine Ophiolite as forearc lithosphere formed during subduction initiation and obducted to the margin of the Superior Craton during the Penokean Orogeny. The processes responsible for forming (and preserving) this example of a Paleoproterozoic ophiolite may not have been dissimilar to those operating on the Phanerozoic Earth.
