New U-Pb (zircon) data from the northern Boisdale Hills show that rhyolite on Long Island and syenogranite of the nearby Mount Cameron pluton have similar ages of SOS ± 3 Ma and 509 ± 2 Ma, respectively. These ages are similar to those known or inferred from some felsic piutonic units elsewhere in central Cape Breton Island and suggest that latest Cambrian to earliest Ordovician igneous activity was widespread in the Bras d'Or terrane. The new dates also suggest that stratigraphic and structural relationships in the Boisdale Hills arc more complex than previously interpreted. The dated rhyolite and other volcanic and sedimentary rocks in the northern Bourinot belt in the Boisdale Hills were previously included in undivided Middle Cambria...
