Mapping and petrologic studies of the Creignish Hills Pluton in the Bras d'Or Terrane of central Cape Breton Island have shown that the pluton consists mainly of tonalite-diorite and coarse-grained monzogranite units, with smaller areas of granodiorite-tonalite, granodiorite-monzogranite, and fine-grained monzogranite. Petrographic and chemical characteristics of the tonalite-diorite suggest that hornblende fractionation (± biotite accumulation) may have produced much of the observed variation in the unit, whereas feldspar fractionation was the dominant process producing variation within each of the other units. The tonalite-diorite unit is interpreted to be late Precambrian (ca. 560 Ma) in age like most other dioritic and tonalitic plutons...
