{"title":"Age of the Acadian deformation and Devonian granites in northern England: a review","authors":"\tSociety\t\t\tN. Woodcock, N. Soper, A. Miles","doi":"10.1144/PYGS2018-009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1144/PYGS2018-009","url":null,"abstract":"Field evidence shows that emplacement of Devonian granites in northern England overlaps in space and time with the end of the supposed Acadian deformation in their country rocks. The age of this Acadian event in England and Wales is in need of review because of revised Rb-Sr and K-Ar decay constants and recently acquired radiometric ages on the granites. Published K-Ar and Ar-Ar cleavage ages recalculated to the new decay constants range from 404 to 394 Ma (Emsian, Early Devonian). Emplacement of the Skiddaw and Weardale granites at 398.8 ± 0.4 and 399.3 ± 0.7 Ma respectively is indicated by U-Pb zircon ages, and is compatible with the field evidence. However, emplacement of the Shap Granite at a Re-Os molybdenite age of 405.2 ± 1.8 Ma and at the youngest U-Pb zircon age of 403 ± 8 Ma matches the field evidence less well. The apparent paradox in these ages is resolved if the K-Ar ages record only the end of millions of years of cleavage formation. An earlier cluster of K-Ar and Ar-Ar cleavage ages at 426–420 Ma (Ludlow to Přidoli, late Silurian) dates a pre-Acadian resetting event soon after Iapetus closure, an event of uncertain significance. Ion microprobe U-Pb zircon ages for the Shap Granite have a mean of 415.6 ± 1.4 Ma but a range of 428–403 Ma, compatible with a long magmatic history. Thermal considerations suggest that this history was not at the upper crustal emplacement site but in a mid-crustal mush zone, now preserved at about 10 km depth as a component of the Lake District and North Pennine batholiths.","PeriodicalId":49665,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society","volume":"30 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90208678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparable residues are present in the overlying Mississippian rocks and were probably derived from a Carboniferous source, i.e. during later mineralization of the granite. The bitumen was already solidified during fluorite mineralization, which does not contain oil inclusions. The residues do not show the high thermal maturity of organic matter in the region altered by the earliest Permian Whin Sill. Like the sulphide-fluorite mineralization, oil emplacement post-dated intrusion of the sill. Pyrite associated with the oil residues is enriched in trace elements including lead, silver, gold, selenium and tellurium, which suggests that mineralizing fluids at least shared pathways with migrating hydrocarbons and possibly also suggests undiscovered valuable metal resources.","PeriodicalId":49665,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80255205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are interpreted as a pre-glacial, cold-climate fluvial system that entered the North Sea via a gap in the Chalk escarpment at the mouth of The Wash. The pre-glacial Fenland valley system was overridden by an ice sheet during the Anglian Stage (Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 12) when it became infilled with glacial deposits, mostly till and varved clay. East of the Chalk escarpment, a pre-glacial network of dipslope valleys drained directly to the North Sea. This was also overridden by Anglian ice and locally over-deepened, presumably by subglacial meltwater. The over-deepened parts have been referred to as tunnel valleys by various authors, but they can be more accurately described as glacially modified fluvial valleys. The analysis of high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles in the North Sea and adjacent areas has revealed complex anastomosing networks of tunnel valleys that were formed subglacially without a fluvial precursor or superimposed on possible fluvial systems that were glacially modified to the extent that they cannot now be confidently identified as fluvial in origin. In comparison, the concealed fluvial valleys of East Anglia and Fenland have been subject to minor glacial modifications, and are morphologically distinct from the North Sea examples. They should not be referred to as tunnel valleys. Prior to the Anglian glaciation, the rivers that flowed from the Midlands to the North Sea passed through one of two gaps in the Chalk escarpment, the Goring Gap in the south and a similar gap that is now concealed beneath the Wash. The field evidence does not support the presence of an additional gap in the intervening Bury St Edmunds area. A wide embayment to the north of this in the Thetford to Swaffham area in which the crest of the Chalk escarpment has been displaced eastwards by up to 20 km is an Anglian glaciation erosion feature.","PeriodicalId":49665,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90376945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Hunstanton, Ferriby and Flamborough formations are largely devoid of flints, whereas the Welton (other than its two basal members) and Burnham formations have nodular and tabular flints, respectively. Previous work on the lithostratigraphy and marker beds is presented, and an overview of the distribution of the more important macrofossils is provided. Especial attention is given to the succession at Speeton through the Hunstanton, Ferriby and lower Welton formations with details of the oxygen and carbon isotope signatures. The Speeton section is internationally important because of its expanded Albian-Mid Cenomanian succession. Small sections of the Burnham Formation in Speeton–Buckton cliffs are also presented for the first time.
