In the western craton, volcanic and sedimentary rocks were deposited between 2.81 and 2.60 Ga on 2.9->3.1 Ga sialic basement, not tectonically juxtaposed with it. Deposition of 2.6 Ga turbidite and conglomerate sequences across the entire Slave craton was synchronous with, or followed by, the main phase of regional deformation and metamorphism at 2.6-2.58 Ga and final stabilization of the craton.
