The complex consists of various HP mafic-ultramafic rocks such as amphibole-bearing eclogites, zoisite-bearing eclogites, amphibole-epidote-bearing eclogites, quartz-bearing eclogites, chlorite-bearing amphibolites and ultramafites surrounded by eclogitic micaschists and jadeite-bearing metagranitoids. Multiscale structural analyses, integrated with geochemical investigation, allowed to distinguish heterogeneities of eclogite types consequent to strain partitioning and different degrees of metamorphic re-equilibration during Alpine polyphase deformation history or to pristine magmatic differences. Five groups of Alpine structures (D 1 to D 5 ) have been detected: they consist of folds, foliations and shear zones developed during the Late Cretaceous to Eocene subduction-exhumation path. The metamorphic mineral assemblages related to the deformation stages indicate a polyphase deformation (pre-D 1 to D 3 ) under eclogite-facies conditions followed by a blueschist re-equilibration (during D 4 ), localized shearing and successive folding and discrete shearing (D 5 ) under greenschist-facies conditions. Four veining stages, developed under the eclogite- and blueschist-facies conditions have been documented. Whole rock major and trace element composition of main igneous lithotypes suggest a subduction-related context for the emplaced of the Ivozio mafic Complex. It also suggests that all rocks are not co-genetic and that they likely emplaced in the continental crust. Igneous products with arc and back-arc geochemical affinity (from 380 to 345 Ma) are described in the European Variscan Belt from French Central Massif to Bohemian Massif, supporting the interpretation that the Ivozio mafic Complex protoliths are the witness of such Devonian-Carboniferous arc magmatism in the Alpine chain.

The Damara belt of Namibia represents a deeply eroded Pan-African (550-500 Ma) collisional belt that records subduction and the eventual collision between the Kalahari and Congo Cratons as part of the amalgamation of the Gondwana supercontinent. The belt has not been affected by later orogenic events so that it preserves the sequence of convergent and collisional tectonics remarkably well. The Southern Zone accretionary prism of the belt records the offscraping and imbrication of a thick metaturbiditic sequence. Within this sequence, the Matchless Amphibolite Belt forms a narrow, 500-3000 m wide unit of intrusive as well as imbricated mafic metavolcanic and plutonic rocks, with Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB) geochemistry, that can be traced almost continuously for over 300 km along strike. Based on the MORB-type geochemistry and preserved textures and rock association, most authors consider the Matchless Amphibolite belt to represent relics of oceanic crust related to the closure of the oceanic basin between the Congo and Kalahari cratons. We have measured two traverses across the Matchless Amphibolite and we report here the evidence that these ophiolitic slivers emplaced during ridge-trench interaction and ridge subduction.

These peridotites are found in ultramafic bodies incorporated in high-grade crustal rocks from a former continental slab and are characterized by highly variable mineral assemblages and microstructures, which reflect their evolution from spinel peridotite in a hot mantle wedge, to garnet peridotite after incorporation into the subducting slab and finally exhumation accompanied by retrogression. Carbonate phases in UZ peridotites are observed in diverse textural sites and can be related to particular petrographic peridotite types. Inclusions of dolomite and dolomite-breakdown products in primary spinel from coarse-grained protogranular peridotites indicate that carbon-bearing liquids were introduced into the mantle wedge at a time before achieving garnet stability. Discrete dolomite grains occur in fine-grained deformed garnet-bearing peridotite and are suggested to have formed simultaneously with hydrous phases (amphibole, apatite) from a carbon-bearing aqueous crustal slab-derived fluid during garnet stability. Intergrowths of calcite and brucite occur mainly in serpentinized fine-grained garnet-amphibole peridotites and are interpreted to be products of dedolomitization (CaMg(CO 3 ) 2 + H 2 O → CaCO 3 + Mg(OH) 2 + CO 2 ), thus decarbonation, during exhumation. Veins of dolomite and calcite-brucite indicate secondary dolomite formation from carbon-bearing fluids due to interaction with slab-derived crustal fluids during retrogression on the exhumation path of the UZ peridotite. Magnesite veins and calcite veins that are texturally linked to alteration features are probably of low-temperature origin. In summary, this petrographic study reveals multi-stage carbonation of the UZ peridotites during residence in the mantle wedge and decarbonation with the release of a carbon species during low-temperature peridotite reaction with aqueous fluids leading to serpentinization accompanied by dolomite breakdown, thus providing important constraints on the carbon budget and carbon cycling in collisional settings. Overall, the ubiquity of carbonates in a variety of textural settings in the UZ peridotites suggests that the supra-subduction zone mantle in continental settings represents an efficient carbon trap.","PeriodicalId":54690,"journal":{"name":"Ofioliti","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2017-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43490682","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}

Reported here are new geochronological, petrological and geochemical data from this assemblage. At the study locality, Eocene arc-related magmatic rocks are intruded by extensive dykes of Shaki-Rash gabbro. The key reason to focus on these rocks is the remarkable lack of hydrothermal alteration, including preservation of very fresh olivine. Besides olivine the gabbros contain plagioclase and clinopyroxene, with lesser orthopyroxene, biotite, brown hornblende and alkali feldspar. From mineral chemistry, the crystallization conditions of the olivine gabbros are ~ 950-1050°C and ~ 5-3 Kbar. Shaki-Rash gabbro shows alkaline affinity. SHRIMP U-Pb dating of magmatic zircon from the gabbro yielded a mean 206Pb/238U age of 39.0±0.5 Ma (Eocene). Most of the Shaki-Rash gabbro samples have Ti/V of 100 to 50 and fall in the back-arc basin (BAB) and alkaline fields, while on a Nb/Yb-Th/Yb diagram, most samples fall within the MORB-OIB array and plot in proximity to E-MORB.

The sedimentary succession in the type section (ca. 18 m thick) is subdivided into three units (in stratigraphic order): metalliferous sediments (Unit 1), red mudstone intercalated with radiolarian chert (Unit 2), and micritic limestone (Unit 3). The recovery of well-preserved radiolarians from all units led to the recognition of three distinctive assemblages: Assemblage A, obtained from metalliferous sediments and chert intercalations within red mudstone, could be correlated with the middle-late Cenomanian fauna; Assemblage B, recovered from red mudstone and chert, is assigned to the early Turonian, based on correlation with radiolarian occurrences across the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary; Assemblage C, recognized in micritic limestone, is broadly identified as Turonian-Coniacian. The age of the Suhaylah Formation has previously been interpreted as early Cenomanian to Coniacian-Santonian; however, the revised age could be from late Cenomanian to Turonian-Coniacian. The estimated possible maximum age of metalliferous sediments (96.5-93.9 Ma) is in good agreement with high-precision U-Pb zircon dates of ophiolite crust attributed to ridge magmatism.

Some clasts are presumed to have originated in mid-Mesozoic accretionary complexes (ACs) of East Asia. Microfossils ( e.g ., radiolaria, conodonts) in these clasts can provide age constraints. Relationships between rock facies and age in sequences of the mid-Mesozoic ACs have been clarified in previous studies; therefore, the rock facies and the age of the clasts offer a clue about denudation history and provenance of the mid-Mesozoic ACs. This study compiles previous studies of microfossil-bearing clasts within the Late Mesozoic in the Outer and Inner Zone of Southwest Japan and in the Gyeongsang Supergroup in the southeastern Korean Peninsula. The compilation, at present, recognizes three denudation stages (Stages A, B, and C) of the mid-Mesozoic accretionary complexes. Stage A (Oxfordian-Hauterivian) is characterized by an initial and narrow denudation. The denudation of the mid-Mesozoic ACs started at some point in this stage, but it was of limited extent. Stage B (Barremian-early Albian) is characterized by wide denudation: the mid-Mesozoic ACs became largely exposed. Afterwards, some younger geologic bodies of the mid-Mesozoic ACs, which were structurally underlying, were exposed and denuded. Stage C (late Albian–) is characterized by denudation of almost all the mid-Mesozoic accretionary complexes. This denudational evolution might be related to some tectonic and igneous events in East Asia, such as the uplift of the Tetori Group in late Hauterivian-early Barremian and the initiation of the granitic magmatic activity in middle Albian.","PeriodicalId":54690,"journal":{"name":"Ofioliti","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2017-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45097775","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}
