We provide field data and a comprehensive trace element and isotope dataset for such rocks from the upper Baton River area in northwest Nelson, New Zealand, including the first combined Hf-Nd isotope data for Takaka Terrane rocks. These submarine volcanic rocks, known as Mataki and Benson volcanics of the Devil River Volcanics Group, are both interbedded with Haupiri Group sediments, providing a previously not observed direct stratigraphic link between the two volcanic units. Incompatible element abundances of Mataki Volcanics display a full spectrum from subduction-modified back-arc-tholeiites to E-MORB type tholeiites. Initial Hf-Nd isotope compositions are coupled, spanning a range from MORB-like to OIB-like compositions. The MORB-like endmember (initial ϵNd +7 and ϵHf +13), taps moderately depleted asthenospheric mantle. If extrapolated to present-day composition, this depleted mantle endmember does not resemble modern Pacific-type mantle, suggesting formation in a back-arc basin separated from Pacific mantle by a continent-ward, intra-oceanic subduction zone. The enriched asthenospheric mantle endmember in the Mataki Volcanics may be an equivalent to the sources of Neoproterozic or middle Cambrian intra-continental flood basalts in central and SE-Australia.","PeriodicalId":49752,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics","volume":"66 1","pages":"405 - 427"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45898706","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}

During Rodinia supercontinent assembly (RA), Australia and Zealandia age patterns are similar, everywhere with ubiquitous late Mesoproterozoic magmatic zircon sources. However, during earliest Gondwana supercontinent assembly (GA), the age patterns have different sediment sources: (1) those of late Neoproterozoic age are more strongly represented in Zealandia but of uncertain location, but (2) those of late Cambrian-Ordovician age are more prominent in eastern Australia, having probable origins in the Ross-Delamerian Orogen. In particular, a distinctive zircon component, ca. 600–650 Ma, is ubiquitous in Zealandia but rare in Australia. Early Paleoproterozoic and Archean (Nuna, NU) zircon sources (2000–3200 Ma) become important (and locally up to 25% total) in Zealandia but not in Australia. It is difficult to reconcile all these sediment source requirements within disparate and distant Australian-Antarctic Precambrian complexes. Instead, it is proposed that, through the early Palaeozoic, Zealandia had only local sediment sources in a discrete Rodinia basement continental block outcropping in South Zealandia that was formerly adjacent to South China.","PeriodicalId":49752,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics","volume":"66 1","pages":"456 - 477"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42189254","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}

New geological mapping within this area at Coverham, Kekerengu and Wharekiri, has resolved complex relationships between Cretaceous stratigraphic units and faults. Results indicate that, within the interval 110–100 Ma, Champagne and lower Split Rock formations record syn-tectonic deposition by marine mass-transport processes within confined sub-basins with steep seafloor gradients. Upper Split Rock Formation and overlying Nidd Formation record progressive burial of seafloor topography between c. 100–86 Ma. Although uncertainties remain, three or four faults appear to have been low-angle structures with normal displacements that were active within the interval c. 105–89 Ma; one of these faults experienced brief reversal of offset between c. 91 and 87 Ma. The new data are most consistent with a model of subduction shutdown between c. 105–100 Ma, following impact of the Hikurangi Plateau large igneous province at the subduction margin. Widespread uplift along the margin between 97 and 95 Ma may reflect subsequent rebound of the subducted plate.","PeriodicalId":49752,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics","volume":"66 1","pages":"495 - 527"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41518159","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}

Ground shaking and surface fault rupture generated a tsunami, thousands of landslides, and many dammed rivers. The earthquake damaged farmland, buildings and infrastructure in the northeastern South Island and Wellington regions, closing critical transport networks for over a year. This special issue presents a collection of 12 papers on the earthquake. These papers cover a range of topics, including, the geometries and paleoearthquake histories of faults that ruptured, seismic hazards, the tsunami and coastal geomorphology, together with the societal impact and communication of the earthquake. They incorporate our understanding of the earthquake 5–6 years since it occurred. Despite an unprecedented amount of data and thousands of published papers referring to the earthquake, many key questions remain. These include: is the Hikurangi subduction interface capable of producing great earthquakes beneath the northeastern South Island? Why did the Hope Fault not accommodate significant slip in the earthquake? Has the earthquake changed the seismic hazard in central Aotearoa New Zealand? Addressing these questions will improve understanding of seismic processes and hazards helping to build resilience to future earthquakes.","PeriodicalId":49752,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics","volume":"66 1","pages":"137 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47610674","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}
