Deadhorse Creek diatreme complex

The Deadhorse Creek diatreme complex is a diatreme complex in northwestern Ontario, Canada, located approximately 25 km (16 mi) west of Marathon.[1] It is thought to have formed by the Midcontinent Rift System, a 2,000 km (1,243 mi) long rift in the centre of the North American continent that was active in the Mesoproterozoic.[2]
