Exhumation of high-pressure rocks driven by slab rollback
Rocks metamorphosed under high-pressure (HP) and ultra high-pressure (UHP) conditions in subduction zones come back to the surface relatively soon after their burial and at rates comparable to plate boundary velocities. In the Mediterranean realm, their occurrence in several belts related to a single subduction event shows that the burial-exhumation cycle is a recurrent transient process. Using...
متن کاملWhat brought them up? Exhumation of the Dabie Shan ultrahigh-pressure rocks
Metamorphic coesite and diamond in the Dabie Shan, eastern China, testify to subduction of continental crust to >100 km depth. Exhumation of these ultrahigh-pressure rocks through the crust encompassed two stages. (1) South-dipping foliation, southeastplunging stretching lineation, lineation-parallel isoclinal folds, and boudins indicate extreme subhorizontal shortening and subvertical extensio...
متن کاملExhumation of high-pressure rocks beneath the Solund Basin, Western Gneiss Region of Norway
The Solund–Hyllestad–Lavik area affords an excellent opportunity to understand the ultrahigh-pressure Scandian orogeny because it contains a near-complete record of ophiolite emplacement, high-pressure metamorphism and large-scale extension. In this area, the Upper Allochthon was intruded by the c. 434 Ma Sogneskollen granodiorite and thrust eastward over the Middle ⁄ Lower Allochthon, probably...
متن کاملSlab rollback orogeny in the Alps and evolution of the Swiss Molasse basin
The stratigraphies of foreland basins have been related to orogeny, where continent-continent collision causes the construction of topography and the downwarping of the foreland plate. These mechanisms have been inferred for the Molasse basin, stretching along the northern margin of the European Alps. Continuous flexural bending of the subducting European lithosphere as a consequence of topogra...
متن کاملEvidence for slab rollback in westernmost Mediterranean from improved upper mantle imaging
The prevailing idea for the geologic evolution of the western Mediterranean in the Cenozoic is based on north dipping subduction near the gulf of Lyon undergoing vigorous rollback since ∼30 Ma as a consequence of slow Africa–Eurasia convergence across the ∼130 My old Alpine Tethys oceanic lithosphere (Lonergan and White, 1997; Malinverno and Ryan, 1986; Royden, 1993). As rollback propagated sou...
