Abstract
Los Leones Granite represents a calc-alkaline tonalite-granodiorite tabular stock of ∼3 km2 intruded within Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks from the Eastern Andean Metamorphic Complex. Two newly obtained zircon SHRIMP U-Pb ages reveal a Middle Mississippian (340-335 Ma) crystallization age, contrasting with previously accepted K-Ar Pennsylvanian age. Isotopic analysis indicate derivation from a depleted source with minimal influence of continental crust contamination (eHf(i) ∼14), which experienced hydrothermal alteration at high temperatures (δ18O ∼4.13). New data coupled with contemporaneous subduction-related rocks in Western Patagonia and Antarctica suggest the existence a broader Lower Carboniferous subduction zone extending at least from Northern Patagonia, to Western Antarctica. On the other hand, isotopic signatures depict a tectono-magmatic framework with a thermal configuration of the margin that was modified by the presence of a local slab tear or the progressive horizontalization of the isotherms as result of the ∼20 myr. of magmatic quiescence in the area.
期刊介绍:
Papers must have a regional appeal and should present work of more than local significance. Research papers dealing with the regional geology of South American cratons and mobile belts, within the following research fields:
-Economic geology, metallogenesis and hydrocarbon genesis and reservoirs.
-Geophysics, geochemistry, volcanology, igneous and metamorphic petrology.
-Tectonics, neo- and seismotectonics and geodynamic modeling.
-Geomorphology, geological hazards, environmental geology, climate change in America and Antarctica, and soil research.
-Stratigraphy, sedimentology, structure and basin evolution.
-Paleontology, paleoecology, paleoclimatology and Quaternary geology.
New developments in already established regional projects and new initiatives dealing with the geology of the continent will be summarized and presented on a regular basis. Short notes, discussions, book reviews and conference and workshop reports will also be included when relevant.
