15578|Priestley Formation|70840|4|Described|p426-442,444-445|Middle Cambrian|Late Neoproterozoic|Geological province: Wilson Terrane. Of the Wilson Metamorphic Complex. Deposited on the Palaeo-Pacific passive continental margin of East Gondwana in the late Neoproterozoic after Rodinia breakup.  Protoliths deposted under black-shale-facies conditions. Likely started as a continuous basinal development sequence, before being segmented during post-Ross orogenic processes, with juxtaposition of different stratigraphic segments against each other. Intruded by Granite Harbour intrusives during Ross Orogeny, resulting in amphibolite-facies metamorphism and contact-metasomatism between pelitic and thin magnesium-rich carbonate beds, forming amphibole-rich calc-silicate rocks to amphibole schists lenses and layers. Contains small amount of (12.4%) Pre-Ross Pan-African age group (700-550 Ma) zircons, and dominant Grenville-age (~52%; 1300-900 Ma) zircon age spectra, and craton-related (~32%) Palaeoproterozoic (1600 to 2500 Ma) and Archean (>2500 Ma) ages. Age peak between c. 1150-1050 Ma (concordia age 1108+\-12 Ma). Youngest weighted mean U-Pb LA-ICP-MS zircon ages from samples include 592+\-9 Ma (SE0805A), 602+\-16 Ma (SE1401), 613+\-6 Ma (SE0406) and 654+\-7 Ma (SE0203). Corresponds well in zircon ages with Wilson Hills metamorphics. Likely became part of Ross-orogenic continental magmatic arc material, became eroded with igneous arc rocks and older Grenville-age basin sediments and transported as turbiditic material as part of Molar Formation and Robertson Bay Group.|||||Alternating beds of dark schist, marble, and minor quartzite, with well preserved sedimentary features.|

Also called Wilson schists, Wilson metamorphics on same page. Part of a suite of low-grade to high-grade metamorphosed sedimentary rocks (up to migmatites) of the northern Wilson Terrane.  Detrital monazites in migmatites and orthogneisses dated by the Th-U-Pb electron microprobe method yielded isochrone ages between 582+\-19 Ma and 658+\-46 Ma (Schulz and Sch¿ssler, 2013), corresponding with youngest detrital zircon ages of Priestley Formation. Migmatite sedimentary protoliths deposited during latest Neoproterozoic and Early Cambrian, contemporaneous with Upper Priestley Formation.||||||26-AUG-19
