A tonalite dyke in the Benacadie Brook Formation in the Boisdale Hills of central Cape Breton Island yielded a U-Pb (zircon) age of 564.5 ± 5.1 Ma, interpreted to be the age of intrusion. The age is identical within error to the U-Pb (zircon) age of 564 +3/-2 Ma previously reported for a granodiorite sample from the nearby Shunacadie Pluton. Based on geographic proximity and identical age, as well as petrological similarities, the tonalite dyke is interpreted to be comagmatic with the granodiorite. Although the new date does not provide further constraint on the age of the Benacadie Brook Formation, it affirms the importance of ca. 560 Ma plutonism in the Bras d'Or terrene of Cape Breton Island.
