    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Shabogamo gabbro, an olivine gabbro, intrudes the metamorphosed sedimentary rocks in the Wabush Lake map area, southern part of the Labrador geosyncline. In close spatial relation to this intrusive is an amphibolite schist that appears conformable with these meta-sediments. Field evidence is by itself insufficient to demonstrate whether this amphibolite schist is a metamorphosed sediment or whether it is genetically related to this olivine gabbro. Since large amphibolite schist bands occur in the Smallwood Mine, determination of the origin and relation of the amphibolite schist to the olivine gabbro is of special importance because this will determine ore potential at depth in this mine. Initial ratios of Sr87/Sr86 (0.704±0.001) in these two rock types are singularly not conclusive to demonstrate a common origin. Until recently, geologists associated the Shabogamo gabbro with igneous activities of the Grenville orogeny, but a minimum age of 1,600±130 m. y. of biotite in this intrusive shows that it should be associated with an earlier orogeny. Moreover the minimum biotite age of 1,050±140 m. y. of the amphibolite schist also approximates the time since the Grenville orogeny in this area. On the strength of all investigations on these two rock types, it is concluded that the amphibolite schist is a metamorphic derivative of the olivine gabbro.
    Abstract: Résumé Le gabbro Shabogamo de la région du lac Wabush a envahi les roches métasédimentaires de la fosse du Labrador. Un schiste à amphibole, l'une des gangues de la mine de fer Smallwood, a une étroite association spatiale avec cet intrusif mais semble interstratifié avec les métasédiments. Cependant seules les relations de terrain ne peuvent permettre de démontrer si ce schiste est un métasédiment ou s'il est un facies altéré du gabbro à olivine. L'origine du schiste amphibolitique est importante à reconnaÎtre puisqu'elle permettra de prédire le potentiel économique en profondeur de l'exploitation. Contrairement à ce qui avait été conclu précédemment, le gabbro Shabogamo n'a pas été mis en place durant l'orogénie Grenville. En effet le rapport isotopique Sr87/Sr86 (0.704±0.001) de la biotite indique que le gabbro a un âge minimum de 1,600±130 millions d'années. Par contre la biotite du schiste à amphibole donne à la roche un âge de 1,050±140 millions d'années. De plus, l'analyse pétrographique et chimique des deux roches indique qu'elles sont génétiquement reliées. On croit donc que le gabbro Shabogamo appartient probablement au système orogénique Hudsonien mais qu'il fut métamorphisé localement en schiste amphibolitique durant l'orogénie Grenville. Il faudra alors s'attendre, à la mine Smallwood, à une baisse considérable du tonnage du minerai avec la profondeur.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Durch geologische Felduntersuchungen ist es nicht möglich, eine genetische Verwandtschaft zwischen einem „Amphibolitschiefer” und einem „Olivingabbro“ im südlichen Labrador-Trog (Wabush Lake) festzustellen. Da Amphibolitschiefer-BÄnder auch in der „Smallwood Mine“ vorkommen, ist es von ökonomischer Bedeutung, festzustellen, ob beide Gesteinsarten genetisch verwandt sind oder ob die Schiefer sedimentÄrer Herkunft sind. Im ersten Fall könnte diese Annahme Erzreserven im Untertageabbau vermindern. Im zweiten Fall — also einer syngenetischen Ablagerung mit der Eisenformation — wÄre der Amphibolitschiefer viel Älter als der Olivingabbro, wobei sich das Problem der Erzreserven anders stellt, da die „Smallwood Mine“ in einer Synklinale liegt. Ein Ergebnis dieser Forschung deutet an, da\ die IsotopenverhÄltnisse (Sr87/ Sr86: 0,704±0,001 „Gesamtgestein“ in beiden Gesteinsarten) allein nicht die Felduntersuchungen bekrÄftigen oder entkrÄften können. Zugleich ergibt das Alter des Biotit im Amphibolitschiefer einen unteren Grenzwert der Grenville Orogenese von 1,050±140 Millionen Jahren und das Alter des Biotit im Olivingabbro einen unteren Grenzwert seiner Intrusion von 1,600±130 Millionen Jahren in diesem Gebiet. Die Schlu\folgerungen aus den Ergebnissen dieser Untersuchung laufen darauf hinaus, da\ der Amphibolitschiefer ein metamorphes Produkt aus dem Olivingabbro ist.

    Notes: Summary Any rock may be regarded as an “aggregate” of mineral species frequency distributions, thus opening up a new method of analyzing the problems of the nature of these discrete distributions. Based on theorems in mathematical probability, a “subrock” sample is defined as a probability sample under the conditions that every mineral species' distribution function in this subrock converges probabilistically to one and the same distributions the nature of which is immaterial at this point. For obvious reasons, the situation is excluded if the sample size approaches infinity, i.e., Chebyshev's theorem (Chebyshev, 1867).

    Notes: Abstract Compositional data of orthopyroxene crystals obtained by the electron microprobe may be biased unless zoning morphologies are taken into account in the sampling design. Statistical models (predictive or interpretative) based on such data are open to question because the input data, such as correlations, are spurious. In an attempt to propose sampling designs two established crystal zoning morphologies are considered which are (a) the concentric shell-type and (b) sectoral zonations. These zonational types lend themselves well to statistical population modeling and graphical interpretation provided assumptions of chemical invariance hold or are approximated by a stratified sampling design. The statistical designs may be regarded as limiting cases in the sense that relaxations of certain assumptions lead to other population models. Hypersthene crystals from a central portion of the mafic norite formation at the Strathcona Mine, Sudbury irruptive, are examined for zonation. It appears that the trace elements have a different zoning morphology than the major elements of hypersthene.
