The goal of this project is to trace into central northern B.C. stratigraphy known to host Mississippian volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits such as Kudz Ze Kayah, Wolverine, and Fyre Lake, which lie within the Yukon Tanana Terrane in the Finlayson Lake belt of central Yukon. It is part of the Jennings River/Wolf Lake component of the Ancient Pacific Margin NATMAP project, a cooperative effo...

Abstract The Black Warrior foreland basin records sedimentation associated with the development of intersecting Ouachita and Alleghanian thrust belts along southern margin Laurentia. Mississippian–Pennsylvanian units in are interpreted to be sourced from either northern Appalachians mid-continent or more regionally nearby belt. We present detrital zircon U-Pb ages Th/U values Paleozoic that ind...

The Carboniferous of the present-day Arctic yields an abundant and diverse association terrestrial palynomorphs, particularly from Mississippian successions. Relatively few sections have been studied. However, those published so far demonstrate considerable similarities in palynofloras between regions. Based on record, we present a compilation 31 last occurrences (LOs), first (FOs), some abunda...

Abstract A Paleozoic arc that formed by southward subduction of the Rheic oceanic plate beneath northern Gondwana has long been inferred, but its history and geochemical signatures remain poorly understood. New U-Pb ages, juvenile εHf signatures, trace-element composition data young zircons from tuffs at two southern Laurentia sites indicate their derivation a continental was active ca. 328 to ...

Kudz Ze Kayah (KZK) and Wolverine are volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits hosted by Early Mississippian meta-rhyolites, marine metasediientmy rocks and intermediate to mafic met&offs of the Yukon Tanana Terrane in the Finlayson Lake area, southern Yukon (Figure 1). This area became a focus of intense exploration in late 1994, following Cominco’s discovery of significant massive sulphides ass...
