Duality of Cordierite Granites Related to Melt–restite Segregation in the Peña Negra Anatectic Complex, Central Spain
A large anatectic complex of Hercynian age, the Peña Negra complex, crops out in the central-north area of the Sierra de Gredos, Avila batholith, central Spain. Migmatites and anatectic granitic rocks were generated during the Upper Carboniferous from a Neoproterozoic – Lower Cambrian schist–greywacke complex with minor interlayered orthogneisses. Granitic rocks appear as subhorizontal sheets o...
متن کاملOrogeny can be very short.
In contrast to continent/continent collision, arc-continent collision generates very short-lived orogeny because the buoyancy-driven impedance of the subduction of continental lithosphere, accompanied by arc/suprasubduction-zone ophiolite obduction, is relieved by subduction polarity reversal (flip). This tectonic principle is illustrated by the early Ordovician Grampian Orogeny in the British ...
متن کاملCompaction-driven melt segregation in migmatites
A common and puzzling feature of migmatite terranes is the presence of synkinematic leucosomes oriented perpendicular to the maximum principal compressive stress axis, s1, particularly leucosomes oriented parallel to the axial plane of folds. These are parallel to planes of compaction, but experiments predict that leucosomes should form in dilational bands oriented instead at small angles to s1...
متن کاملActive continental subduction and crustal exhumation: the Taiwan orogeny
It is generally accepted that continental subduction and crustal exhumation play an important role in the evolution of many orogenic belts. A variety of geological evidence suggests that continental crust is occasionally subducted to depths of tens to perhaps 150 km (e.g. Chopin, 1984; Dewey et al., 1993; Matte et al., 1997). Recently, a series of simulations (Chemenda, 1993; Chemenda et al., 1...
متن کاملGenesis of metapelitic migmatites in the Adirondack Mountains, New York
Oxygen isotope ratios and rare earth element (REE) concentrations provide independent tests of competing models of injection v. anatexis for the origin of migmatites from amphibolite and granulite facies metasedimentary rocks of the Adirondack Mountains, New York. Values of dO and REE profiles were measured by ion microprobe in garnet–zircon pairs from 10 sample localities. Prior U–Pb SIMS dati...
