Major, trace and rare earth elements (REE), along with Nd isotopes and U-Pb ages, were determined for Archean greenstone belts (2.88-2.72 Ga) and Paleoproterozoic mafic dyke swarms (2.51-2.00 Ga) of the Northeastern Superior Province (NESP) of Canada in order to gain insights on the nature of mafic magmas across the Precambrian. Geographically separate, but coeval (2.78 Ga), greenstone assemblages with distinctive Fe-tholeiites occur across a large surface area of the NESP. This geographic separation, along with the numerous inheritance ages of greenstone lithologies that replicate those of older volcanic-plutonic assemblages, are consistent with these belts being the remnants of an extensive autochthonous mafic volcani...
