Apr 08, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - The Saturday Night Project is located within the Quetico Basin of the Superior Province in Ontario and along the periphery of the Proterozoic Midcontinent Rift (MCR). Rocks of the Quetico Basin, also referred to as the Quetico Subprovince, form a 1000 km, east-west trending belt that averages 70 km in width stretching from Minnesota to Quebec (Williams, 1991; Stott et al. 2010). The basin is bounded to the north by the West Wabigoon, Marmion and East Wabigoon Terranes and to the south by the Wawa Terrane (Percival, 2007). Within the Quetico Basin, turbiditic metasedimentary rocks are dominant with minor iron formation, felsic intrusions, and mafic-ultramafic intrusions (Williams, 1991). These rocks are interpreted to have formed as an accretionary prism between the converging Wabigoon and Wawa Terranes (Percival, 1988). Subsequent tectonism and felsic plutonism resulted in the formation of migmatites, gneisses, and numerous suites of felsic intrusives including tonalites, granodiorites, granites, and peraluminous granites (Williams, 1991). The Midcontinent Rift (MCR) is one of the world’s largest flood basalt provinces, extending nearly 2500 km from Kansas in the southwest, arcing underneath Lake Superior and terminating at the Grenville Front in Michigan (Cannon, 1992). It is remotely observed as a prominent magnetic and gravity anomaly, with exposures of volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive rocks found extending from the shores of Lake Superior in Ontario, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. The vast majority of volcanic and sedimentary rocks associated with the MCR are concealed beneath Lake Superior where their thickness has been estimated at up to 30 km based on seismic reflection surveys (Cannon et al. 1989).
