The Duluth Complex, the related Beaver Bay Complex, and the associated North Shore Volcanic Group are rock formations which comprise much of the basement bedrock of the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Minnesota in central North America. The Duluth and Beaver Bay complexes are intrusive rocks formed about 1.1 billion years ago during the Midcontinent Rift; these adjoin and are interspersed with the extrusive rocks of the North Shore Volcanic Group produced during that same geologic event. These formations are part of the Superior Upland physiographic region of the United States, which is associated with the Laurentian Upland of the Canadian Shield, the core of the North American Craton.

  • Der Duluth-Komplex, der damit verbundene Beaver-Bay-Komplex (der oft als Bestandteil des Duluth-Komplexes betrachtet wird), und die zugehörige North Shore Volcanic Group (auch North Shore Volcanics) sind Gesteinsformationen, die einen großen Teil des Grundgebirges im Nordosten des US-Bundesstaats Minnesota aufbauen. Duluth- und Beaver-Bay-Komplex sind intrusive Gesteine, die während des so genannten Midcontinent-Rift (auch Keweenawan Rift) entstanden, bei dem sich vor 1,1 Milliarden Jahren im Mesoproterozoikum im nordamerikanischen Kontinent ein Grabenbruch öffnete. Die Intrusivkomplexe grenzen an die vulkanischen Gesteine der North Shore Volcanic Group, die während des gleichen Ereignisses entstanden. Die drei geologischen Einheiten sind Teil der physiogeographischen Region des amerikanis (de)
