Revisiting thrusting, reverse faulting and transpression in the southern Sudbury Basin, Ontario

The synformal Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) is the deformed relic of a large impact melt sheet. Understanding the geometry and kinematics of deformation of the SIC is paramount for mineral resource deposit exploration of this complex, constraining its pre-impact configuration and understanding Paleoproterozoic tectonism at the southern margin of the Archean Superior Province. In particular, it is uncertain to what extent thrusting on the South …
