Chronology of pluton emplacement and regional deformation in the southern Sierra Nevada batholith, California
Cretaceous plutonic rocks of the southern Sierra Nevada batholith between latitudes 35.5°N and 36°N lie in a strategic position that physically links shallow, subvolcanic levels of the batholith to lower-crustal (~35 km deep) batholithic rocks. This region preserves an oblique crustal section through the southern Sierra Nevada batholith. Prior studies have produced large U/Pb zircon data sets f...
متن کاملTectonic and petrologic evolution of the Kodiak batholith and the trenchward belt, Kodiak Island, AK: Contact fault juxtaposition?
[1] Two fore‐arc magmatic belts exist in Kodiak Island, the granitic Kodiak batholith and the basaltic trenchward belt. Both are part of the 2100 km long Sanak‐Baranof belt, interpreted to result from trench‐ridge‐trench (T‐R‐T) triple‐junction migration. In this hypothesis, trenchward belt basaltic rocks formed as the spreading ridge first entered the accretionary prism, and the larger Kodiak ...
متن کاملInSAR observations of the 1995 Fogo, Cape Verde, eruption: Implications for the effects of collapse events upon island volcanoes
[1] Fogo volcano, Cape Verde Islands, erupted in April 1995 after 43 years of dormancy. About 46 10 m of lava erupted during 7.5 weeks from vents on the SW flank of Pico do Fogo into Cha das Caldeiras. Interferograms obtained from 1993–1998 ERS SAR data show ground deformation due to the feeder dike but lack evidence for any volcano-wide deformation related to volume changes of a shallow magma ...
متن کاملLowermost Cambrian Ichnofabrics from the Chapel Island Formation, Newfoundland: Implications for Cambrian Substrates
Bioturbation long has been ‘blamed’ for eliminating late Proterozoic-style sedimentary structures and fabrics. While the presence of diverse and complex burrows in lowermost Cambrian strata is indisputable, analysis of Precambrian– Cambrian successions in southeast Newfoundland demonstrate that this burrowing style did not produce typical Phanerozoic-style ichnofabrics. Three hundred meters of ...
متن کاملLate Cretaceous cooling of the east-central Peninsular Ranges batholith (33°N): Relationship to La Posta pluton emplacement, Laramide shallow subduction, and forearc sedimentation
Biotite and K-feldspar Ar/Ar systems from the east-central Peninsular Ranges batholith near 33°N were affected by two distinct phases of Late Cretaceous rapid cooling. The 85-Ma biotite K-Ar isochron separates comparatively shallow rocks in the southwest that record earlier cooling (91–86 Ma) from deeper rocks in the northeast that record later cooling (78–68 Ma). Samples close to 85 Ma isochro...
