The Temagami geophysical anomaly (Ontario, Canada): geological cause and relationship to the 1.85 Ga Sudbury impact event

Temagami 地球物理异常(加拿大安大略省):地质原因及其与 1.85 Ga 萨德伯里撞击事件的关系

基本信息

项目摘要

This project attempts to explain the ultimate geological cause of one of the largest, hitherto unexplained, magnetic anomalies in North America, the Temagami geophysical anomaly in Ontario, Canada. The anomaly is of outstanding scientific and economic interest because it is directly adjacent to the 1.85 Ga Sudbury Complex - the second largest impact structure on Earth and one of the world’s richest mining districts thanks to widespread Ni-Cu-PGE-sulfide mineralization. The Temagami Anomaly mirrors the magnetic anomaly caused by the Sudbury Complex in terms of shape, size and intensity. Lack of outcrops and, until recently, of bore holes, prevented a proper geological understanding, and whatever genetic link with the Sudbury Complex has remained pure speculation. Preliminary petrological studies by the applicant and the anticipated project scientist (PhD student) on the first deep drill hole sunk into the centre of the Temagami Anomaly revealed the presence of dioritic rocks at 2 km depth, which bear similarities with offset dykes in and around the Sudbury Complex. This raises the possibility of a genetic link with the Sudbury impact event, which if proved correct, would open up an entirely new perspective on our understanding of the Sudbury Complex and its exploration potential. Thus, the principal aim of this project is to test for such a genetic link and to provide a geological explanation for the geophysical anomaly by comparing new data on the petrology, alteration history, geochemistry, isotopic composition and geochronology to be acquired from drill core and surface samples from the area of the Temagami Anomaly with available data on the Sudbury Complex and potentially equivalent rocks in the wider region. This will include layered mafic and ultramafic intrusions, mafic dyke swarms, carbonatite stocks, and sedimentary iron formations, all of which occur in the area, bear significant economic potential, and could be possible candidates for the observed magnetic anomaly. Our preliminary observations revealed also widespread hydrothermal alteration and brecciation, whose origin and bearing on the magnetic anomaly is unclear. Thus, a further goal of the project will be to characterize this alteration and to establish its significance in terms of the cause of the Temagami Anomaly, the genesis of the Sudbury structure and the metallogeny of the area.
这个项目试图解释北美最大的,迄今无法解释的磁异常之一,加拿大安大略的Temagami地球物理异常的最终地质原因。该异常具有突出的科学和经济价值,因为它直接毗邻1.85 Ga的萨德伯里复合体-地球上第二大撞击结构,也是世界上最富有的矿区之一,这要归功于广泛的Ni-Cu-PGE硫化物矿化。Temagami异常反映了萨德伯里复合体在形状,大小和强度方面造成的磁异常。缺乏露头,直到最近,钻孔,阻止了适当的地质认识,以及任何与萨德伯里复杂的遗传联系仍然纯粹是猜测。申请人和预期的项目科学家(博士生)对Temagami异常中心的第一个深钻孔进行的初步岩石学研究表明,在2公里深处存在闪长岩,与萨德伯里杂岩及其周围的偏移岩脉相似。这提出了与萨德伯里撞击事件存在遗传联系的可能性,如果证明是正确的,将为我们了解萨德伯里复合体及其勘探潜力开辟一个全新的视角。因此,该项目的主要目的是检验这种成因联系,并通过将从Temagami异常区的岩心和地表样品中获得的岩石学、蚀变历史、地球化学、同位素组成和地质年代学方面的新数据与萨德伯里杂岩和更大区域内可能相当的岩石的现有数据进行比较,对地球物理异常作出地质解释。这将包括层状镁铁质和超镁铁质侵入体、镁铁质岩墙群、碳酸盐岩储量和沉积铁地层,所有这些都发生在该地区,具有重大的经济潜力,可能是观测到的磁异常的候选者。我们的初步观察还显示了广泛的热液蚀变和角砾岩,其起源和对磁异常的影响尚不清楚。因此,该项目的另一个目标将是确定这种蚀变的特征,并确定其在Temagami异常的原因、萨德伯里构造的成因和该地区的成矿作用方面的重要性。
