Laurentia (Laurentian Shield) The Precambrian shield (see CRATON) of central eastern Canada. The name is derived from the St Lawrence River and has been applied to a series of granites, gneisses and metasediments that are older than 2500 Ma. The Laurentian Shield forms the ancient ‘core’ of Canada, around which younger orogenic belts have been accreted.
