Major, minor, and rare-earth element analyses of fine-grained marginal material from 249 dykes of the Matachewan giant radiating swarm show that the range in compositions cannot be produced by any simple fractionation model. Instead a two-stage process is required, whereby melts were modified by both fractionation and assimilation of lower crustal material, before rising and ponding at shallower crustal levels (1520 km maximum), where a combination of fractional crystallization, plagioclase phenocryst formation, and periodic melt replenishment took place. These shallow crustal chambers acted as feeders for the numerous dykes. One hypothesis compatible with these observations involves an extensive rising plume that would provide heterogeneous melts over a large area accompanied by stresses that could produce a radial pattern of dykes. In a search for indications of lateral magma flow, a comparison of longitudinal variations in composition along four sample traverses across the western subswarm showed no t...
