Map[edit]

Added a general location map - a more detailed map showing the extent of the belt or a good geologic map would be nice. Vsmith (talk) 16:06, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is some geologic maps in the sources I used, but they are not very detailed. They just outline the deformation zones, formations of the Younger Volcanic Complex, etc. Volcanoguy 00:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just added a geologic map of Strathy Township with the Chambers-Strathy Batholith, Link Lake Deformation Zone, Net Lake-Vermilion Lake Deformation Zone, Younger Volcanic Complex, Older Volcanic Complex and regional lakes. Volcanoguy 05:33, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mineralogy[edit]

The term "ferroan carbonate" appears several times and seems to need clarifying. Is it siderite, ankerite, iron-rich dolomite or all of the above. I assume the source doesn't provide more detail? Vsmith (talk) 16:06, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed all "ferroan carbonate" statements because I don't know what it means either. I just included it because the sources use that term. The article should be better to read now. Volcanoguy 00:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

east-northeast trend[edit]

...east-northeast trend.... Is "west-northeast" or "east-northwest" intended? How can a trend lie "east-northeast"?--Wetman (talk) 22:28, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"west-northeast" means midway between west and northeast. Same thing for the others: "west-northwest" is midway between west and northwest, and "east-northeast" is midway between east and northeast. They are proper terms. Volcanoguy 05:30, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
