Session 10: The Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone: a multiphase structure with critical mineral potential

Chairs: Dana Šilerová, Ryan Pippy

Saint Mary’s University

The Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone is a major crustal structure separating Avalonia and Meguma terranes in the Canadian Appalachians. The long-lived structural corridor preserves a complex history of overprinting deformation, magmatism, alteration, and metallogeny. The goal of this session is to provide a forum for discussing ongoing and future research on the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone and to showcase its potential for critical and base metals. We welcome contributions related to all aspects of the structure, including (but not limited to) structural displacement, relative timing and geochronology, local geology, alteration, mineralization and geo-heritage.
