In this work, we present a multi-method approach integrating sedimentological, geochronological, structural, and provenance analyses to reconstruct the architecture of the Late Cretaceous foreland basin at 34°40’S. We identified a new depocenter located in an inner position of the Late Cretaceous foreland basin, a strategic location to understand the sedimentation dynamics near the topographic front of the orogen. Two sandstone samples from the basal and upper sections of the Diamante Formation were collected for detrital zircons dating, which yielded maximum depositional ages between 98 Ma and 91 Ma. The provenance analyses based on U-Pb zircons ages indicated a main source area located to the west, in the incipient orogenic belt, with a complementary contribution from basement rocks, located to the east. Moreover, growth strata documented in these deposits were compared with structural kinematic models, which suggest that some of these deposits are associated with inherited structures, reactivated during the tectonic inversion of the extensional Jurassic Atuel depocenter. Our paleogeographic model comprises an Andean Cordillera flanked by a hinterland basin to the west and a foreland basin to the east, with a deformational front positioned further east compared to previous models.","PeriodicalId":22351,"journal":{"name":"Tectonics","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141173280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modeled resistivity structure is compared to coincident seismic reflection data. The observed geophysical signatures are interpreted within the context of the late stages of crustal growth and cratonization of the region via the progressive accretion of terranes against the initial cratonic core. The northern-most terranes comprising the cratonic core exhibit a nearly homogenous highly resistive crust. The lower crust of the southern terranes contains largely continuous low resistivity bands which run subparallel to major terrane boundaries and corresponding fault systems. In some cases, low resistivity features are coincident with dense packages of sub-horizontal to listric reflections within the mid- to lower crust. These resistivity structures are inferred to represent preserved geoelectric signatures of late to post-orogenic magmatic pulses likely related to delamination of locally overthickened crust. Increased mantle heat flow resulted in partial melting of the lower crust and upper mantle and upward migration of CO<sub>2</sub>-rich melts and fluids through crustal weak zones corresponding to shear and/or suture zones formed during terrane amalgamation. Thermal softening of the mid- to lower crust led to orogenic collapse and reactivation of the crustal shear zones, resulting in formation and interconnection of graphitic films which were preserved within the stable craton. These results have implications for the tectono-magmatic history of the western Superior Craton, as well toward the understanding of the geodynamic regime of the Archean Earth.","PeriodicalId":22351,"journal":{"name":"Tectonics","volume":"156 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140932115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is confirmed that the initial Late Cenozoic foreland deformation driving the formation of the easternmost Jura Mountains in Switzerland was predominately thin-skinned with contractional deformation largely restricted to the Mesozoic succession above a sub-horizontal basal décollement. Thereby, the localization and structural style of related deformation structures was strongly guided by the characteristics of underlying Late Paleozoic half grabens. The main thin-skinned thrust front formed at ∼12 Ma, followed by further deformation in the hinterland and locally continued foreland-directed thrust propagation. The major deformation zones exposed at surface were established at ∼8 Ma but shortening continued until at least ∼4 Ma. Thick-skinned contraction associated with the inversion of basement structures only played a subordinate role during the latest deformation phase after 8 Ma. Based on cumulative shortening values derived from balanced cross sections, our U-Pb ages of syn-tectonic calcite slickenfibres allow to estimate thin-skinned deformation rates for the easternmost Jura Mountains between ∼0.9 and ∼0.1 mm/year, decreasing toward the eastern tip of the arcuate belt. Moreover, deformation rates seemingly decreased over time with rates of initial thin-skinned thrusting being significantly higher than the later deformation north of the main thrust front. These new findings from a classical foreland setting highlight the potential of integrating U-Pb dating in regional fold-and-thrust belt investigations elsewhere.","PeriodicalId":22351,"journal":{"name":"Tectonics","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140833324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By combining low-temperature multi-thermochronometry, inverse thermal models and field structural data, we present a new thermal-structural history for the northern Agrio FTB. Our findings unveil an initial cooling event between approximately 85–75 Ma and 55–50 Ma, involving cooling rates of 1.1–2°C/Ma and vertical displacement rates from 0.07 to 0.12 km/Ma. This slow event, confined to the inner zone, is associated with the growth of the basement-cored Manzano anticline. Additionally, still in the inner zone of the Agrio FTB, a second and faster cooling event from ∼15–10 Ma to 0 Ma, marked by a cooling rate of 7°C/Ma and a vertical displacement rate ranging from 0.11 to 0.17 km/Ma, results from in-sequence thick-skinned thrusting at depth. In the outer zone of the FTB, only the younger cooling event from 15–10 Ma to 0 Ma is evident, with a cooling rate of 8.8°C/Ma and a vertical displacement rate ranging from ∼0.14 to 0.26 km/Ma, attributed to displacement along the basement-involved Las Yeseras thrust.

We present triaxial analog experiments mimicking crustal thinning resulting from distributed longitudinal extension and lateral shortening. Contemporary longitudinal extension and lateral shortening are related by the principal horizontal strain ratio (PHSR). We investigate the effect of crustal geometry, rheology and strain rate on deformation localization, faulting regime and pattern, and PHSR in brittle and brittle-viscous crustal-scale models. We find that in brittle models the fault networks reflect the basal boundary condition and fault-density scales inversely with brittle layer thickness. In brittle-viscous models, as strain rate (<i>ė</i>) decreases, (a) Three fault patterns emerge: conjugate sets of strike-slip faults (<i>ė</i> &gt; 3 × 10<sup>−4</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>, PHSR &gt; 0.31), sets of parallel oblique normal faults (<i>ė</i> = 0.3–3 × 10<sup>−4</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>, PHSR = 0.15–0.25), horst-and-graben system (<i>ė</i> &lt; 0.3 × 10<sup>−4</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>, PHSR &lt; 0.1). (b) The strain localization increases systematically and gradually. We interpret the strain rate dependent of faulting regimes to be controlled by vertical coupling between the model upper mantle and model upper crust resulting in spontaneous permutation of principal stress axes. Rate-dependency of strain localization can be related to mechanical coupling between the upper and lower crust. We identify the following parameters controlling triaxial tectonic deformation: upper crustal thickness and friction coefficient, lower crustal thickness and viscosity, as well as strain rate. We test our models and predictions against natural prototypes (Tibet, Anatolia, Apennines, and Basin and Range Province) thus providing new perspectives on triaxial deformation.","PeriodicalId":22351,"journal":{"name":"Tectonics","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140797861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigate the timing and significance of UHP metamorphism and exhumation of the Tso Morari complex, North-West Himalaya. We present new petrochronological analyses of mafic eclogites and their host-rock gneisses, combining U-Pb zircon, rutile and xenotime geochronology (high-precision CA-ID-TIMS and high-spatial resolution LA-ICP-MS), garnet element maps, and petrographic observations. Zircon from mafic eclogite have a CA-ID-TIMS age of 46.91 ± 0.07 Ma, with REE profiles indicative of growth at eclogite facies conditions. Those ages overlap with zircon rim ages (48.9 ± 1.2 Ma, LA-ICP-MS) and xenotime ages (47.4 ± 1.4 Ma; LA-ICP-MS) from the hosting Puga gneiss, which grew during breakdown of UHP garnet rims. We argue that peak zircon growth at 47–46 Ma corresponds to the onset of exhumation from UHP conditions. Subsequent exhumation through the rutile closure temperature, is constrained by new dates of 40.4 ± 1.7 and 36.3 ± 3.8 Ma (LA-ICP-MS). Overlapping ages from Kaghan imply a coeval time-frame for the onset of UHP exhumation across the NW Himalaya. Furthermore, our regional synthesis demonstrates a causative link between changes in the subduction dynamics of the India-Asia collision zone at 47–46 Ma and the resulting mid-Eocene plate network reorganization. The onset of UHP exhumation therefore provides a tightly constrained time-stamp significant geodynamic shifts within the orogen and wider plate network.","PeriodicalId":22351,"journal":{"name":"Tectonics","volume":"151 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140797776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we show the structure and evolution of this controversially debated area, both on crustal and basin scale, by using three seismic reflection profiles combined with 2-D potential field data. The results demonstrate that the southern Baltic Sea is underlain by a thick crust of the East European Craton with a Moho depth in the range of 38–42 km. The overall crustal architecture is shaped by three phases of localized stretching in the early Paleozoic, Devonian-Carboniferous, and Permian-Mesozoic. The most spectacular feature of the southern Baltic Sea is a zone of thick-skinned compressional deformation produced by Late Cretaceous-early Paleogene inversion, including a system of thrusts and back thrusts penetrating the entire crust in an 80–90 km wide inversion zone. ENE-vergent thrusts are traced from the top of the Cretaceous down to the Moho and they are accompanied by back thrusts of opposite vergence, also reaching the Moho. Inversion tectonics resulted in the uplift of a block of cratonic crust as a pop-up structure, bounded by thrusts and back thrusts, and the displacement of the Moho within the STZ and TTZ. The similar mechanism of intra-cratonic inversion was recognized for the Donbas Foldbelt in eastern Ukraine, and it may be characteristic of rigid cratons, where deformation is localized in a few preexisting zones of weakness.","PeriodicalId":22351,"journal":{"name":"Tectonics","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140567395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
