Le terrain de Natashquan, secteur oriental de la Province de Grenville, se distingue en tout premier lieu par la préservation partielle du Groupe de Wakeham, une séquence épicontinentale du Mésoprotérozoïque précoce (~1.5 Ga). Cette séquence a été partiellement démembrée lors de la mise en place des nombreux filons-couches de gabbro de la Suite de La Robe-Noire il y a ~1.18 Ga, avant d’être reprise par le métamorphisme régional qui a accompagné la formation de la fosse synclinale de Davy et la structuration des terrains gneissiques avoisinants dont le Complexe de Boulain. 4, record 11, French, - s%C3%A9quence%20de%20plate%2Dforme%20continentale

Continent-Continent Convergence - Low-density continental lithosphere does not easily subduct, so that when two continents collide the two continents may more or less "weld" together in a suture zone. The continent crust may be thickened, because one continent plate can slide (grudgingly) a little way under the other. The result is a mountain range or high plateau in the interior of an enlarged (accreted) continent. 3, record 14, English, - suture%20zone
