"Primarily for students, this guidebook on, and road log to, the Baraboo, Wisconsin, area offers insight into a wide range of geologic features. Precambrian, Cambrian, and Quaternary times are represented in a range of lithologies, structures, stratigraphy, and geomorphology. This notable area lies at the boundary of the glacial and driftless regions of the Quaternary"--

Paleomagnetic studies were conducted on the Early Proterozoic Sioux Quartzite, one of the so-called "Baraboo interval" red-bed sequences of the Lake Superior region. A total of 158 samples were collected from 17 sites scattered across four basins (Cottonwood County, New Ulm, northern Pipestone, and southern Pipestone) in southwestern Minnesota. Alternating-field and thermal demagnetization studies indicate that the magnetization is dominantly single component, and that the magnetic carrier is hematite. Hematite occurs both as a diagenetic mineral whose long paragenetic history began shortly after deposition and as veinlets that formed during a strain event possibly related to regional tilting. The magnetization is tentatively interpreted to have occurred before regional tilting, although a definitive fold test is difficult because dips are low. Measured paleomagnetic directions at both site and basin levels show good clustering, and the average directions obtained from each of the four basins are not significantly different at the 95 percent confidence level. The good clustering at all levels of sampling indicates that the Sioux Quartzite was magnetized either within a short time interval or during a period of subdued apparent polar wander. The structurally corrected paleomagnetic directions from the four basins yield a combined paleopole location at 1 01 ° W. and 16° N. (k=65, alpha 95=11 °). Dated paleopoles for Early Proterozoic rocks in North America and age dates of rocks interpreted to underlie the Sioux Quartzite imply that its age is 1,700-1,650 Ma. This interval corresponds in part with the age of 1,800-1,630 Ma of the Central Plains orogen, which lies some 200-300 kilometers south of the Sioux Quartzite out- crop. Quartzite may reflect a tectonic pulse related to the Central Plains orogen. Preliminary paleomagnetic data on Baraboo-interval quartzites from Wisconsin indicate that the Sioux paleopole cannot be distinguished at the 95 percent confidence level from that of the Barren Quartzite, but that it differs from that of the Baraboo Quartzite, which on the basis of existing apparent polar wander data could be as much as 100 million years older. The paleomagnetic data support previously raised cautions that some Baraboo interval quartz arenites may have been deposited in separate basins at significantly different times.

Proterozoic quartzite is exposed at several isolated localities within an area of nearly 13,000 square kilometers in Wisconsin. Although early workers proposed that the quartzite is of two different ages, more recent workers have suggested that the various quartzite bodies are correlative, and that their protoliths were deposited between 1,760 and 1,630 Ma. Structural and stratigraphic studies of the quartzite deposits together with new age data indicate that the quartzite is at least of two distinct ages. Quartzite at McCaslin and Thunder Mountains, in northeastern Wisconsin, is older than 1,812 Ma, as indicated indirectly by a dated intrusion, and quartzite boulders in conglomerates in central Wisconsin are at least as old as the rhyolite country rock (=1,840 Ma). Deformed quartzite at Hamilton Mounds, in south-central Wisconsin, is intruded by undeformed granite that is 1,764 Ma. The ages of many other quartzite bodies, however, cannot be tightly constrained at present. Quartzite exposed in central and southern Wisconsin, south of the Eau Pleine shear zone, is interpreted as remnants of a passive margin sequence that was deposited on an Archean microcontinent (Marshfield terrane) and subsequently deformed in a major south-verging fold-thrust system during collision between the microcontinent and oceanic-arc rocks of the Pembine-Wausau terrane. The occurrence of quartzite-bearing conglomerates in the 1,860 Ma volcanic rocks of the Marshfield terrane suggests that the allochthonous quartzite bodies are 1,860 Ma or older. Collision occurred at about 1,840 Ma, and marked the end of the Penokean orogeny.

The Early Proterozoic Michigamme Formation of northern Michigan was deposited in the southeastern part of the Animikie basin. The formation conformably overlies the Goodrich Quartzite and comprises three widespread members a lower member of thin-bedded shale, siltstone, and sandstone; the Bijiki Iron-formation Member; and an upper member of tur- biditic graywacke, siltstone, and mudstone and a few local members. The Goodrich Quartzite is interpreted as having been deposited in a tidally influenced shallow marine environ- ment. The lower member of the Michigamme is interpreted as having been deposited in a tidally influenced environment, the iron-formation member as having been deposited below wave base in somewhat deeper water, and the upper member as having been deposited in still deeper water with turbidity currents being a major depositional mechanism. Several lines of evidence including paleocurrents, paleo- geographic setting, and neodymium isotopes suggest that the graywacke of the southern part of the outcrop area was derived from the south (Early Proterozoic Wisconsin magmatic terranes, Archean miniplates, and older Early Proterozoic sedimentary units formed on the continental margin), and that the graywacke in the northern area was derived from an Archean terrane to the north. The tectonic model that best fits the available data is a northward-migrating foreland basin.
