Anomalous Mesozoic thermal regime, central Appalachian Piedmont: Evidence from sphene and zircon fission-track dating
A total of 17 sphene and 45 zircon fission track ages (FTA) are reported from the Piedmont Province of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, the Reading Prong of New Jersey, and the Newark Basin of Pennsylvania. With the exception of one sphene sample, FTA fall within a relatively restricted age range: sphene 190-217 Ma (average 199 Ma) and zircon 143-218 Ma (average 184 Ma). Near concordance o...
متن کاملAn Automated Microscope Scanning Stage for Fission-track Dating
A microcomputer controlled scanning stage has been developed which greatly facilitates track counting. It has been designed specifically for the external detector method of fission-track dating, although the basic hardware could be used for a variety of different scanning requirements. With this system, the microscope stage is automatically controlled to move between corresponding points on the...
متن کاملThermal Evolution and Provenance Revealed through Detrital Zircon Fission Track Dating of the Upper Cretaceous Shumagin Formation, Nagai Island, Alaska
Wrangellia Superterrane. The Paleozoic to Mesozoic Wrangellia superterrane (Insular terrane) consists of intraoceanic volcanic assemblages and basement rocks of the Peninsular, Wrangellia, and Alexander terranes (Plafker et al, 1994). The magmatic-arc assemblages of the Peninsular terrane appear to have been built upon the Wrangellia composite terrane prior to the midCretaceous and include: 1) ...
متن کاملExhuming the Alps through time: clues from detrital zircon fission-track thermochronology
The European Alps are a mountain belt that is characterized by a series of discrete orogenic events, which have long been recognized. Despite the inherent episodic nature of orogenic evolution, the Alps have been continuously exhumed, mainly by erosion, but also by normal faulting. Since continental collision started in the late Eocene/Early Oligocene evidence for ongoing erosional exhumation h...
متن کاملUplift and thermal history of the Teton Range (northwestern Wyoming) defined by apatite fission-track dating
In order to determine the pattern and timing of exhumation and uplift in the Teton Range, fission-track analysis of apatites has been applied to three sections encompassing ~ 2 km of vertical relief along the Teton escarpment. The resulting data provide new insights on the doming of the Precambrian-Cambrian unconformity and on the Teton exhumation/uplift history prior to the Miocene initiation ...
