The New Quebec orogen contains two volcano-sedimentary sequences bounded by unconformities. Each sequence records a change from continental sedimentation and alkaline volcanism to marine sedimentation and tholeiitic volcanism. The first sequence records 2.17 Ga rifting and the development, by 2.14 Ga, of a passive margin along the eastern part of the Superior craton. The second sequence developed between 1.88 and 1.87 Ga in pull-apart basins that reflect precollisional dextral transtension along the continental margin. Second-sequence magmatism comprises (i) carbonatitic and lamprophyric intrusions and mildly alkaline mafic to felsic volcanic rocks; (ii) widespread intrusion of tholeiitic gabbro sills, and submarine extrusion of plagioclase glomeroporphyritic basalts and younger aphyric basalts and picrites; and (iii) late-stage, mafic to felsic volcanism and intrusion of carbonatites. Crustal thinning allowed primitive tholeiitic magmas to equilibrate at progressively lower pressures before more buoyant ...
