The area is on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 325 miles below Quebec. The consolidated rocks are all of Pre-cambrian age. In order of abundance they are:- anorthositic and gabbroic rocks, granitic intrusives, syenitic rocks, paragneisses, amphibolites, migmatites, dioritic intrusives, and various minor intrusives. The paragneisses have been called Grenville by earlier workers. [...]

Fifteen quartz petrofabric diagrams were made from nine specimens of Grenville type granulites. The majority of the specimens, which are granitic, posses B-B' - tectonite fabrics comparable to those of other granulite areas. An important feature brought out by the diagrams is the lack of correspondance between the megascopic fabric axes, determined by lineation and foliation, and the fabric axes determined by the quartz diagrams. This discrepancy may be interpreted as an indication of a change in the direction of tectonic transport, during deformation, from N 50 to N 80 E.
