The isotopic variation suggests a complex origin for the magmas in this ancient volcanic arc, involving partial melting of the sub-oceanic mantle and varying extents of contamination by Archean (>2.5 Ga) crust (see discussion by Stem and others, this volume).

The main purpose of this collection is to make gCologique du Canada). Le but principal de la collection est de geochronological and other radiogenic isotope data fournir rapidement ?ila communautC gdologique les donnCes produced by the laboratory available promptly to the geochronologiques et les autres donnCes sur les isotopes geological community.
