The Taltson Magmatic Zone (TMZ) is a north-trending belt of Archean to Paleoproterozoic granitic basement gneiss, amphibolite supracrustal gneissic rock and Paleoproterozoic magmatic rocks in the Canadian Shield, extending from Northern Alberta to the southwestern Northwest Territories.The TMZ basement is 3.2–3.0 Ga and the Rutledge River supracrustal gneisses 2.13–2.09 Ga years old and were intruded by magmatic rocks around 1.99–1.92 Ga.

  • La zona magmatica di Taltson (nella lingua inglese abbreviata in TMZ, acronimo di Taltson Magmatic Zone), è una cintura orientata in senso nord nello scudo canadese, composta di gneiss granitico del basamento cristallino, di gneiss sopracrostale anfibolitico di età compresa tra l'Archeano e il Paleoproterozoico, e di rocce magmatiche paleoproterozoiche, che si estende dall'Alberta settentrionale alla parte sudoccidentale dei Territori del Nord-Ovest. Il basamento della zona magmatica ha un'età di 3,2-3,0 miliardi di anni, mentre i gneiss sopracrostali del fiume Rutledge hanno un'età di 2,13-2,09 miliardi di anni e sono stati intrusi da rocce magmatiche attorno a 1,99-1,92 miliardi di anni fa.

  • The Taltson Magmatic Zone (TMZ) is a north-trending belt of Archean to Paleoproterozoic granitic basement gneiss, amphibolite supracrustal gneissic rock and Paleoproterozoic magmatic rocks in the Canadian Shield, extending from Northern Alberta to the southwestern Northwest Territories.The TMZ basement is 3.2–3.0 Ga and the Rutledge River supracrustal gneisses 2.13–2.09 Ga years old and were intruded by magmatic rocks around 1.99–1.92 Ga. The 300 km (190 mi) long exposed part of the TMZ in Northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories is bounded by the Great Slave Lake shear zone to the north and by the subsurface Snowbird Tectonic Zone to the south. TMZ is an Andean-type continental magmatic arc and an orogenic belt between the subsurface Buffalo Head Terrane on the west and the Archean Churchill Province on the east. It is also the southern continuation of the , an orogenic belt between the Slave and Churchill cratons. The northern TMZ is divided by major faults and can be subdivided into two main terranes: an eastern gneiss framework and the TMZ batholiths in the west. The exposed basement in northern Alberta is composed of banded gneissic rocks, predominantly 2.4–2.1 Ga metaplutonic gneissic rock, but it also contains amphibolitic gneiss and paragneiss. This basement also contains slices of Archean gneissic rock up to 3.73 Ga-old; an age similar to those of the Hearne and Rae cratons (also known as the Western Churchill Province), which can indicate that TMZ represents the recycling of parts of this province. The U–Pb ages and the isotopic composition of TMZ and the Buffalo Head Terrane (west of TMZ), including the Buffalo Head Hills kimberlite field, are identical. It is possible that these two domains represent a single Paleoproterozoic block. This block is composed mostly of contribution from depleted mantle sources but with contribution from the Churchill Province. TMZ basement rock together with the Buffalo Head terrane can represent the earliest Paleoproterzoic magmatism, pre-dating the break-up of the Churchill Province and the . (en)
