Record 3 2006-12-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geological and Other Scientific Names
  • Petrography
OBS

The [Sudbury Igneous] Complex consists of two main layer-like units..., the Lower Zone and the Upper Zone. The Lower Zone(0. 5-2. 5 km thick) comprises mainly norite and gabbronorite that grades upward into a quartz-and oxide-rich gabbro.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Noms géologiques ou scientifiques
  • Pétrographie
OBS

Le Complexe [igné de Sudbury] est constitué de deux unités stratiformes principales [...] que l'on peut qualifier de Zone inférieure (Lower Zone) et de Zone supérieure (Upper Zone). La Zone inférieure (0,5-2,5 km d'épaisseur) se compose surtout de norite et de gabbronorite qui passent vers le haut à du gabbro riche en quartz et en oxydes.
