Book excerpt: Insight into the Archean thermal & tectonic regime may be offered by studying the late Archean Quetico alkaline province, a suite of carbonate-bearing magmatic complexes associated with a recently discovered carbonatite body in north-west Ontario. This paper attempts to give a broad overview of the character of several such bodies examined in the Quetico alkaline province in summer 1999. It first describes the general geology of the study area and the chemical compositions of the intrusions studied. It then describes the field characteristics of the North Elbow Lake, Whalen lake, Harnett Lake, and Beaverhouse Lake intrusions. Origin of the intrusions is also discussed.
