Structural Study of the Kakagi Lake Area Northwestern Ontario

Abstract

<p>An area situated near Nestor Falls, Northwestern Ontario was geologically mapped, described, and structurally analyzed.</p> <p>Rock specimens were sectioned to provide additional infomation on the petrology and metamorphic geology.</p> <p>Six structural domains outlined in the area are examined using data obtained in the field. Many effects of both ductile and brittle deformation were recognized and are described. Mesoscopic and macroscopic structures were analyzed when sufficient data was available. At least three generations of folding were recognized and are described. Finally, an interpretation of the successive sequence of geologic events is given.</p>
