Synchronous formation of the ‘forearc’ Bay of Islands ophiolite and its basal high-temperature metamorphic sole constrained by U–Pb zircon ages
The welded metamorphic sole at the base of the Bay of Islands Ophiolite Complex (BOIC) in the Northern Appalachians of Newfoundland shows a typical inverted pressure-temperature (P-T) metamorphic gradient from HT-MP granulite to LT-LP greenschist facies. It incorporates mafic volcanic/plutonic proto...
