Stockli","doi":"10.1130/ges02610.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1130/ges02610.1","url":null,"abstract":"Mesozoic rift basins of the Eastern North American Margin (ENAM) span from Florida in the United States to the Grand Banks of Canada and formed during progressive extension prior to continental breakup and the opening of the north-central Atlantic. The syn-rift strata from all the individual basins, lumped along the entire margin into the Newark Supergroup, are dominated by fluvial conglomerate and sandstone, lacustrine siltstone, mudstone, and abundant alluvial conglomerate and sandstone lithofacies. Deposition of these syn-rift sedimentary rocks was accommodated in a series of half grabens and subsidiary full grabens situated within the Permo-Carboniferous Appalachian orogen. The Mesozoic ENAM is commonly depicted as a magma-rich continental rift margin, with magmatism (Central Atlantic magmatic province [CAMP]) driving continental breakup. However, the southern portion of the ENAM shows evidence of magmatic breakup (e.g., seaward-dipping reflectors), and rifting and crustal thinning appeared to start ~30 m.y. prior to CAMP emplacement in the Jurassic. This study provides extensive new detrital zircon and apatite U-Pb provenance data to determine the provenance and reconstruct the paleodrainages of the Newark Basin during progressive rifting and magmatic breakup and the implications for the overall rift configuration and asymmetry during progressive rifting along the ENAM rift margin. Detailed new detrital zircon (N = 21; n = 3093) and apatite (N = 4; n = 559) U-Pb results from sandstone outcrop and core samples from the Newark Basin indicate a distinct provenance shift, with relatively older Carnian syn-rift strata predominately sourced from the hanging wall of the basin bounding fault in the east while relatively younger Norian strata were regionally sourced from both the hanging wall and footwall. The syn-rift strata at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary were sourced from the hanging wall before a transition to local footwall terranes. These results suggest two major provenance changes during progressive rifting—the first occurring during Carnian crustal necking and rift flank uplift as predicted by recent numerical models and the second occurring at the onset of the Jurassic due to regional and local thermal uplift during CAMP magmatism as seen along other magma-rich margins, such as the North Atlantic and the southern portion of the South Atlantic margin.","PeriodicalId":55100,"journal":{"name":"Geosphere","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45271995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Central Indian Tectonic Zone: A Rodinia supercontinent-forming collisional zone and analogy with the Grenville and Sveconorwegian orogens","authors":"A. Bhattacharya, A. Banerjee, N. Sequeira","doi":"10.1130/ges02597.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1130/ges02597.1","url":null,"abstract":"In the paleogeographic reconstructions of the Rodinia supercontinent, the circum-global 1.1–0.9 Ga collisional belt is speculated to skirt the SE coast of India, incorporating the Rodinian-age Eastern Ghats Province. But the Eastern Ghats Province may not have welded with the Indian landmass until 550–500 Ma. Instead, the ~1500-km-long, E-striking Central Indian Tectonic Zone provides an alternate option for linking the 1.1–0.9 Ga circum-global collisional belt through India. The highly tectonized Central Indian Tectonic Zone formed due to the early Neoproterozoic collision of the North India and the South India blocks. Based on a summary of the recent findings in the different crustal domains within the Central Indian Tectonic Zone, we demonstrate that the 1.03–0.93 Ga collision involved thrusting that resulted in the emplacement of low-grade metamorphosed allochthonous units above the high-grade basement rocks; the development of crustal-scale, steeply dipping, orogen-parallel transpressional shear zones; syn-collisional felsic magmatism; and the degeneration of orogenesis by extensional exhumation. The features are analogous to those reported in the broadly coeval Grenville and Sveconorwegian orogens. We suggest that the 1.1–0.9 Ga circum-global collisional belt in Rodinia swings westward from the Australo-Antarctic landmass and passes centrally through the Greater India landmass, which for the most part welded at 1.0–0.9 Ga. It follows that the paleogeographic positions of India obtained from paleomagnetic data older than 1.1–0.9 Ga are likely to correspond to the positions of the North and South India blocks, respectively, and not to the Greater India landmass in its entirety.","PeriodicalId":55100,"journal":{"name":"Geosphere","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42535128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its active deformation and seismicity, the zone receives great attention, with specific focus on slip rates of major active faults. To contribute to a better understanding of the long-term strain accumulation in this zone, this study quantifies the long-term E–W-directed extensional strain rate based on the analysis of N–S-trending normal fault scarps in the 765-k.y.-old Bishop tuff (Volcanic Tableland). The average extensional strain rate determined over the past 765 k.y. is 0.29 ± 0.10 mm/yr per 10 km (29 ± 10 nanostrain/yr) and similar to the current rate of elastic strain accumulation rate in the Volcanic Tableland (0.30 ± 0.13 mm/yr per 10 km; 30 ± 13 nanostrain/yr) determined by Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The present-day E–W strain rate across the entire Eastern California shear zone at the latitude of the Volcanic Tableland is 0.36 ± 0.05 mm/yr per 10 km (36 ± 5 nanostrain/yr). This suggests that the local rate of E–W extension has not changed significantly since the mid-Pleistocene. Furthermore, if the Volcanic Tableland is representative of the greater region, as the GPS data suggest, this would also indicate a constant extension rate across the Eastern California shear zone at the latitude of ~37.5°N over the 765 k.y. time period. These results suggest that late Pleistocene and Holocene extension rates of major faults in this zone can be interpreted in light of a presumably unchanged far-field stress system since at least the mid-Pleistocene.","PeriodicalId":55100,"journal":{"name":"Geosphere","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47993597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 report geochronological, geochemical, and Nd-Hf isotope data for newly discovered rhyolites and biotite granites in the Pingxiang area. We use these data to constrain their emplacement ages, origins, and geodynamic implications. Zircon U-Pb dating indicates that the rhyolites and biotite granites were emplaced at 251–250 Ma and 249 Ma (early Triassic), respectively. The rhyolites and biotite granites have elevated FeOT/(FeOT + MgO) (0.78–0.89) and 10,000 × Ga/Al (2.83–4.11) ratios, with geochemical affinities to A2-type granites. These rocks are enriched in some large-ion lithophile elements (e.g., Rb, Th, and Ba) and depleted in high-field-strength elements (e.g., Nb, Ta, and Ti), indicating their formation in a subduction-related arc. The rhyolites and biotite granites have negative whole-rock εNd(t) (−11.5 to −9.7) and zircon εHf(t) (−14.5 to −6.2) values, suggesting that these magmas were derived from an ancient crust-dominated source. Geochemical and Nd isotope data reveal that the peraluminous A2-type rhyolites and biotite granites were derived by partial melting of felsic crustal rocks under low-pressure and high-temperature conditions. By integrating all the available data with the regional tectonic evolution of the southwestern Youjiang Basin and adjacent regions, we attribute the generation of the peraluminous A2-type rhyolites and biotite granites to the extensional setting that existed during oceanic subduction, which was induced by roll-back of the Paleo-Tethys oceanic lithosphere at 251–249 Ma. This study indicates that subduction-related magmatism related to Paleo-Tethys oceanic lithosphere was still active in the early Triassic.","PeriodicalId":55100,"journal":{"name":"Geosphere","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49214686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The asymmetric scarp height profiles suggest fault-lateral propagation and along-strike variations in the fault evolution. Our results indicate the occurrence of 7 to 11 earthquakes with variable slip between ~40 cm and ~70 cm within post-LGM times. We estimated the magnitudes of the respective earthquakes, between 5.5 and 7.0, and most commonly between 6.3 and 6.5. The results suggest a recurrence time between 1.6 k.y. and 2.3 k.y. and a slip rate ranging between 0.6 mm/yr and 0.9 mm/yr.

Although it is commonly assumed that these two structures are kinematically linked and genetically related, direct observations of this coupling are rare. Here, we conducted a detailed field investigation to probe the connection between a detachment fault and mylonitic shear zone in the Ruby Mountain–East Humboldt Range metamorphic core complex, northeast Nevada. Field observations, along with new and published geochronology, demonstrate that Oligocene top-to-the-west mylonitic shear zones are crosscut by ca. 17 Ma subvertical basalt dikes, and these dikes are in turn truncated by middle Miocene detachment faults. The detachment faults appear to focus in preexisting weak zones in shaley strata and Mesozoic thrust faults. We interpret that the Oligocene mylonitic shear zones were generated in response to domal upwelling during voluminous plutonism and partial melting, which significantly predated the middle Miocene onset of regional extension and detachment slip. Our model simplifies mechanical issues with low-angle detachment faulting because there was an initial dip to the weak zones exploited by the future detachment-fault zone. This mechanism may be important for many apparent low-angle normal faults in the eastern Great Basin. We suggest that the temporal decoupling of mylonitic shearing and detachment faulting may be significant and underappreciated for many of the metamorphic core complexes in the North American Cordillera. In this case, earlier Eocene–Oligocene buoyant doming may have preconditioned the crust to be reactivated by Miocene extension thus explaining the spatial relationship between structures.","PeriodicalId":55100,"journal":{"name":"Geosphere","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44140566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These striations have been interpreted to be the result of ice flow in either the Proterozoic, the Pleistocene, or the modern. Recently, the glacial origin interpretation for this striated surface has been used to argue that it may be related to ca. 717–635 Ma Cryogenian snowball Earth glaciation. This interpretation would make the surface a rare example of a Neoproterozoic glacial pavement, with major chronostratigraphic implications that in turn impose constraints on the timing of intracratonic erosion related to the formation of the Great Unconformity. In this contribution, we present new observations showing that the surface is a tectonic slickenside caused by largely unconformity-parallel slip along the erosional unconformity. We document structural repetition of the Michigamme-Jacobsville contact with associated small-scale folding. The unconformity-parallel slip transitions into thrust faults that ramp up into the overlying Jacobsville Formation. We interpret that the surface records contractional deformation rather than ancient glaciation, recent ice movement, or recent mass wasting.

In this region, both subduction and the associated magmatism have been shown to vary in both space and time. Geophysical data have been invaluable in determining the subsurface structure of this region. Extensive seismic studies have determined the regional-scale distribution of partial melt in the crust and upper mantle. Magnetotelluric studies have been effective in providing independent constraints on the quantity and composition of partial melt in the crust and upper mantle. Geodetic studies have shown that a small number of volcanic centers exhibit persistent, long-term uplift that may indicate the formation of plutons or future eruptions.\u0000 This paper describes a detailed study of the Southern Puna using magnetotelluric (MT) data. This region is located at the southern limit of the Central Andes in a region where a recent transition from flat-slab subduction to normal subduction has caused an increase in magmatism, in addition to hypothesized lithospheric delamination. It is also a region where an extensive zone adjacent to the volcanic arc is undergoing surface uplift, located near Volcán Lastarria and Cordon del Azufre (collectively called Lazufre). The main goals of the work are to define the crustal structure and to investigate processes that may cause surface uplift of relatively large regions not associated with active volcanism.\u0000 As part of the PLUTONS project, MT data were collected on an east-west transect (approximately along 25°S) that extended across the Southern Puna, from Lazufre to north of Cerro Galan. The data were combined with previously collected MT data around Lazufre and inverted to give a 3-D resistivity model of the crust. The low resistivity of the crust resulted in limited sensitivity to mantle structure. A number of major crustal conductors were detected and included (1) a mid-crustal conductor extending eastward from the volcanic arc as far as the Salar de Antofalla; (2) an upper- to mid-crustal conductor located north of Cerro Galan; and (3) a conductor that rises westward from (1) and terminates directly beneath the region of surface uplift at Lazufre. These conductors are broadly coincident with the location of crustal lowshear-wave anomalies. The conductive features were interpreted to be due to zones of partial melt stored in the crust, and petrological data were used to estimate melt fractions. Below Lazufre, it is likely that aqueous fluids contribute to the high conductivity, which is observed within the depth range of the inflation source, giving evidence that the surface uplift may be associated with both magmatic and hydrothermal processes.","PeriodicalId":55100,"journal":{"name":"Geosphere","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44882084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
