Intrusions of mixed origin migmatising early Achaean crust in northern Labrador, Canada

Migmatization of Early Archean Uivak gneisses by Late Archean granitic and trondhjemitic injections are described. The rare earth element, major element, and isotopic geochemistry of the felsic sheets is interpreted to indicate both mantle and crustal components, and the sheets with associated fluids were the vehicle for element transport in the crustal column with attendant isotopic modification of the older gneisses.
