18 WINDSOR SARNIA- GOOtRICH ALGONQUtM ARCH NIAGARA CASTERN UKC ERIC MICHIGAN fASIN AiUGHCNY tASlN Fig. 3. Devonian succession of southwestern Ontario (after Uyeno et al. 1982).
19 information (which is abundant for many areas in southwestern Ontario), combined with current theories of plate tectonics, Sanford et al. (1985) have developed an important new interpretation for the structural geology of the Paleozoic sequence in the region. They suggest that broad segments of the craton, underlying such areas as the Michigan Basin, were in intermittent motion through most of the Paleozoic and that some segments (e.g. Algonquin Arch region) are still mildly tectonic. They further suggest that basement arch movements and basin development in southwestern Ontario and adjacent areas may have been related to crustal plate motions and associated orogenic activity centred at or beyond the actual margins of the craton. Re-examination of surface and subsurface stratigraphic data from southwestern Ontario in the light of these interpretations has led to a new detailed picture of probable faults and fracture systems within the Paleozoic succession (Sanford et al. 1985, Fig. 12) . Southwestern Ontario is considered to occupy parts of two fault-blocks, the Bruce and Niagara megablocks (Fig. 4). The boundary between the blocks is approximately coincident with the Algonquin Arch. The Bruce Megablock was interpreted by Sanford et al. (1985, p. 59) to have been less active and was described as having a relatively simple system of east-west trending fractures within the Paleozoic strata. The more active Niagara Megablock was described as having a correspondingly more complex system of three fracture sets.
