Historiography of research on the Gander tectonic belt and its extrapolation into Britain (Anglesey) and Maine Jenness 1957. Gander Lake (East Half), Newfoundland. Geol. Surv. Canada Map 31957  referenced by Kennedy and McGonigle (have a copy of his thesis) Jenness 1958. Geology of the Lower Gander River ultrabasic belt, Newfoundland. Geol. Surv. Canada Report 12, 58 p. + 3 maps (have)  Map shows all units included in the Gander Lake Group as unit 5. However a unit composed of interbedded pyroclastics and basic lavas was differentiated as 5a; Pyroxenite (2); serpentinite (3, 3a) and gabbro (4)  units considered to be intrusive were not restricted to unit 5a.

Surv. Canada Map 601963  the Botwood map shows the Gander Lake Group divided into three units : unit 3 (Lower Gander Lake)  sheared micaceous grey quartzose greywacke and siltstone; unit 4  altered basic to silicic volcanic rocks, and conglomerate; interlayered with unit 5  grey to black slate and siltstone, greywacke and minor volcanic rocks. Unit 4 occurs as elongated lenses within unit 5,and bot units are intruded by pyroxenites, gabbros, and (quartz)diorites (9), and serpentinite (10). Church, W.R. 1972.

Fig 1 showing a Gander Lake Ellsworth clastic zone, but commented that The Gander Lake belt...represent Cordillerantype ultramaficmafic rocks related to Acadian (midDevonian) igneous and tectonic activity (cf. Chapman, 1968). This comment was based on Chapmans conclusions concerning the intrusive nature of the coastal gabbro bodies of Maine and New Brunswick (St Stephen)
