Occurrence number:
031-00-141
Country:
Canada
Region:
Quebec
Location:
Longitude: -75.6, Latitude: 48.57
Carbonatite:
Yes
A carbonatite body of approximately 6x2 km elongated northeast- southwest is intruded into granite gneiss along the Grenville Front. The carbonatite is a coarse grained black, massive rock of green pyroxene, red-brown biotite, magnetite, pyrite and a little apatite. Spectrochemical analyses gave 0.56% SrO, 0.14% BaO, 0.13% CeO and 0.13% LaO.
Age:
K-Ar on biotite gave 973±36 Ma and on hornblende 978±40 Ma (Wanless et al., 1972).
