Temagami Greenstone Belt shear throughout the Link Lake Deformation Zone. These dark compressed pyroclastics have been interpreted to be pumice. Some of the subsequence pyroclastic deposits contain fragments of pyrite and quartz, suggesting that discharged sulfide hydrothermal activity took place throughout the volcanic source area. Resedimented felsic, epiclastic and turbiditic sediments compose the Turtle Lake Formation. The base of this formation consists of a heterolithic, volcaniclastic, matrix-supported conglomerate unit that overlies felsic lava flows and pillowed, calc-alkaline basalts of the Link Lake Formation. Many rounded to subangular felsic and mafic volcanic fragments are known to occur in the unit, as well as rare
Grenville Province orogeny and metamorphism. Pinwarian magmatism has stopped by this time. Gabbros were formed in the northern Grenville Province around 1.46-1.43 Ga, named the Michael-Shabogamo gabbros. From 1.42 to 1.35 Ga, there is no magmatic activity. After this period and until the end of the mid-Elsonian, the Nain Plutonic Suite is emplaced in Labrador. Felsic magmatism dominates the north and south areas of Labrador while mafic magmatism dominates the central area of Labrador. Felsic magmatism ceases and accretion of island arcs occurs in the Central Metasedimentary Belt. Mixed compression and extension caused broad mafic magmatism during this time. This could be
