摘要: Abstract Late Archean diachronous unconformities underlying tectonically controlled coarse clastic successions are located throughout the Superior Province of Canada. Examples studied in detail include hiatuses at base Timmins and Kirkland basins Abitibi greenstone belt Crowduck Stormy Wabigoon Subprovince. The molasse basin‐fill succession overlies a high‐angle subaerial unconformity separating deepwater turbiditic deposits from fluvial conglomerates. A erosional defines contact between mafic flows overlying felsic volcaniclastic conglomerates Basin. characterized by shallow‐water quartz‐feldspar porphyry stocks deposits. pronounced characteristics basins, which (1) basal with older sedimentary, volcanic, or plutonic rocks; (2) bounding fault systems; (3) ba...
