Thanks - Digger Dan
Appreciate your kindness -
Now i did come across in my searches - contour maps of the bottom of Lake Wanapatei -
showing where the deepest depths zones were located -
Interesting it is - theres a wedge style pattern - almost - north south that defines a deep zone.
First thing i thought of ?
Msssive fault line -
I tracked it's path and it exited at the south end of Wanapatei - west bay -
I confered with other fault maps and it just so happened to show a fault beginning at this
particular pinpoint -
The connective - that i've yet to see - is correlating the massive wedge depth zone with the
fault zone on south side of Wanapatei -
If this were ever proved - that there is a fault deep in the depths of Wanapatei,
It would certainly make for an interesting case study on how the gold might have formed.
Specifically speaking of - gold - that has been liberated and reconsolodated in secondary
deposits with the chlorites and carbonates with sands and diseminated irons.
Whether a good bath soaking of hydrothermal fluids from a massive fault that erroded the irons and liberated the gold and hydrothermal fluids carrying lots of caustic salts that worked over the irons - or- my own theory of, the huronian effect - Lake Huron was more pronounced in this area - sufbury basin - and pair this idea with the latest findings of massive limestone caves at the bottom of lake huron does make a compelling case of, how the irons might have errodedd away and liberated the gold and then reconsolodated - chlorite irons being the main residual clue and lots of carbonates - carbonates in bed like horizontal formations.
A good fault zone and earthquake -
could also give reason for the - distinct breccia -fragments seen on west side of sudbury at deptrh and in the Scad area - such suggests this breccia zone was a former sedimentry bed of hardend rock - that cracked under preasure -
which could also have cracked with the - huronian grenville land mass that pushed into the upper land mass creating the fractrured breccia.
Lots of angles on how all this - came to be...
I like looking at all angles - and not so easily submitting to = meteor - involvement.
I know i've taken flack over tihs... but it's good to have many ideas tabled in which to explain away the unique characteristics of this Sudbury basin.
Heck... i wish others would focus on the higher elevation back drop - that appears to skirt
around sudbury and futher west and even all the way to river valley -this higher elevation might have been the true shoreline edge of Hiuron at one time- just my own thoughts...
Cheers.....
