Granodioritic plutons and associated dykes are present at Hemlo(Cedar Lake Pluton)... where they have an inferred pre-to syn-kinematic timing whereas the granodioritic Faulkenham Lake stock at Madsen and the Chetwynd Granite are post-kinematic.

Many authors use "synkinematic," "syntectonic," and "synorogenic" interchangeably; others restrict "synkinematic" to rocks showing evidence of deformation which happened simultaneously with their formation ... "Synorogenic" is often restricted to events or processes which happen simultaneously with a major phase in orogeny. 5, record 1, English, - syntectonic
