    Notes: High-P/low-T metamorphic rocks of the Hammondvale metamorphic suite (HMS) are exposed in an area of 10 km2 on the NW margin of the Caledonian (Avalon) terrane in southern New Brunswick, Canada. The HMS is in faulted contact on the SE with c. 560–550 Ma volcanic and sedimentary rocks and co-magmatic plutonic units of the Caledonian terrane. The HMS consists of albite- and garnet-porphyroblastic mica schist, with minor marble, calc-silicate rocks and quartzite. Pressure and temperature estimates from metamorphic assemblages in the mica schist and calc-silicate rocks using TWQ indicate that peak pressure conditions were 12.4 kbar at 430 °C. Peak temperature conditions were 580 °C at 9.0 kbar. 40Ar/39Ar muscovite ages from three samples range up to 618–615 Ma, a minimum age for high-P/low-T metamorphism in this unit. These ages indicate that the HMS is related to the c. 625–600 Ma subduction-generated volcanic and plutonic units exposed to the SE in the Caledonian terrane. The ages are also similar to those obtained from detrital muscovite in a Neoproterozoic-Cambrian sedimentary sequence in the Caledonian terrane, suggesting that the HMS was exposed by latest Neoproterozoic time and supplied detritus to the sedimentary units. The HMS is interpreted to represent a fragment of an accretionary complex, similar to the Sanbagawa Belt in Japan. It confirms the presence of a major cryptic suture between the Avalon terrane sensu stricto and the now-adjacent Brookville terrane.

    Notes: Abstract 40Ar/39Ar data (on hornblende, muscovite and K-feldspar) are presented for samples from the western Grenville Province taken along a 140-km traverse from the Grenville Front into the Britt domain. Our interpretation is based on 28 new analyses, synthesized with 20 previously reported from the traverse area.In regions where comparisons are possible, muscovite and (large domain) K-feldspar apparent ages appear similar (at c. 920–930 Ma), but throughout the traverse, these are c. 60–70 Myr younger than the hornblende ages. The inferred cooling rate over the c. 350–500°C temperature range, c.2°C Myr-1, is appropriate for exhumation controlled by post-orogenic erosional unroofing. At the Grenville Front Tectonic Zone (GFTZ) — Britt domain boundary there is a c. 25-Myr offset in both hornblende and muscovite/K-feldspar ages. We interpret the lower ages in the Britt domain to reflect variations in crustal thickness and geothermal gradient between the flank and interior of a thick orogen.The argon data from the GFTZ are interpreted in the context of an asymmetric crustal-scale antiformal structure developed during a late episode of convergence. Hornblende from rocks on either side of the core of the antiform has an apparent age of c. 990 Ma, our estimate of the age of the compressional event. In the west, we infer that these date the short-lived thermal event associated with the development of the crustal-scale antiform previously postulated. In the east, the ages reflect the cooling of material brought toward the surface in the flank of the antiform. Hornblendes from the antiform core appear to contain excess radiogenic argon. We suggest that this was the ambient argon in rocks transported from depth that was subsequently trapped when the rocks cooled rapidly.

    Notes: [Auszug] In the Neyriz sector of the Zagros, two distinct metamorphic regimes7 are separated by the Cheshmeh Anjir fault (Fig. 1). North of this fault, late Jurassic-early Cretaceous plutonism and Abukuma-type metamorphism prevail. These are probably related to ascent of thermal flux derived from a ...

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract We report the following new40Ar/39Ar ages: 130–150 and 90–100 Ma from monzodiorite and tremolite-actinolite schist of the Kohistan Complex; 44±0.5, 39.7±0.2 Ma from dikes cutting the Ladakh-Deosai Batholith Complex; 130–145 Ma from a diorite in the Shyok melange; and 7.8±0.1 Ma from a late stage monzogranite of the Kärakorum Batholith. A 261±13 Ma age from gneiss of the Karakorum Batholith is of uncertain significance. These dates, previously published ones which we summarize here, and some Sr isotope data suggest the following, (due to subduction switching between the Indian and Asian margins during closing of the Tethys ocean): Late Cretaceous emplacement of the Dras-Kohistan Cretaceous Island arc, followed by rapid cooling between abut 85 and 45 Ma. A quiet phase tectonically on the northern Indian plate during the Palaeocene to early Eocene, when subduction was occurring on the Asian margin. Further southward thrusting of the Indian continental margin associated with the development of an Andean-type arc (the Ladakh-Desosai Batholiths) on the northern Indian margin during the Eocene. An Oligocene Andean arc (the Karakorum Batholiths) on the Asian margin, followed by Miocene collision of the two continents and intrusion of ‘true’ granites derived from partial melting of continental crust.
    Abstract: Résumé Nous faisons état ici des nouvelles datations40Ar/39Ar suivantes: 130 à 150 et 90 à 100 M. a. provenant du schiste monzodiorite et trémolite-actinolite du complexe du Kuhistan; 44±0,5, 39,7±0,2 M. a. provenant des dikes recoupant le complexe des batholites du Ladakh-Deosai; 130 à 145 M. a. provenant d'une diorite dans le mélange du Shyok; et de 7,8±à 0,1 M. a. provenant d'un stade tardif de monzogranite du batholite du massif de Karakoram. D'après un gneiss du batholite du massif de Karakoram, l'âge 261±13 M. a. est d'une signification incertaine. Ces dates, d'autres qui ont été précédemment publiées et que nous résumons dans cet article, ainsi que quelques données sur l'isotope Sr suggèrent les faits suivants, dus au changement de la subduction entre les marges indienne et asiatique lors de la fermeture de la Téthys. Mise en place tardive au Crétacé de l'arc insulaire crétacé du Dras-Kuhistan, suivie d'un refroidissement rapide entre 85 et 45 M. a. environ. Phase tranquille, sur le plan tectonique, sur la plaque N. de l'Inde allant du Paléocène à l'Éocène ancien, lors de la subduction de la marge asiatique. Poussée vers le sud de la marge continentale de l'Inde associées au développement d'un arc de type andin (les batholites du Ladakh-Deosai) sur la marge N. de l'Inde à l'Éocène. Arc andin oligocène (les batholites du Karakoram) sur la marge asiatique, suivi d'une collision au Miocène des deux continents et de l'intrusion de «véritables» granites provenant de la fonte partielle de la croûte continentale.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die neuen40Ar/39Ar Altersbestimmungen lauten wie folgt: Monzodiorit- und Tremolit-Actinolit-Schiefer des Kohistan Komplexes weisen ein Alter von 130–150 und 90–100 m. J. auf; Probeentnahmen aus einem das Batholith-Komplex des Ladakh-Deosai durchschneidenden Gangsystem weisen ein Alter von 44±0,5, 39,7±0,2 m. J. auf; ein Diorit aus der Shyok Mélange war 130–145 m. J. alt; und ein einem späteren Stadium angehörender Monzogranit des Karakorum-Batholith war 7,8± 0,1 m. J. alt. Die Bedeutung des Wertes von 261±13 m. J. für Gneis aus dem Karakorum-Batholith ist noch unbestimmt. Diese Datierungen und bereits veröffentlichte Datierungen, die wir hier wiedergeben, sowie auch einige Meßwerte für Sr-Isotope lassen aufgrund von Subduktionswechsel zwischen den indischen und asiatischen Randgebieten während des Schließens des Tethysozeans, folgende Annahmen zu: Spätkretazische Ablagerungen des kretazischen Inselbogens von Dras-Kohistan und folgende schnelle Abkühlung zwischen ca. 85 und 45 m. J. Eine tektonisch ruhige Phase auf der örtlichen indischen Kontinentalplatte im Paläozän und frühen Eozän während der Subduktion im asiatischen Randgebiet. Ein weiterer Schub des Indischen Kontinental-Randes nach Süden in Zusammenhang mit der Bildung eines Anden-ähnlichen Bogens (des Ladakh-Deosai-Batholithen) im nördlichen indischen Randgebiet im Eozän. Ein oligozäner andischer Bogen (die Karakorum-Batholithen) im asiatischen Randgebiet, gefolgt von einer miozänen Kollision der zwei Kontinente sowie der Intrusion von „echten Graniten“, die durch teilweises Verschmelzen der Kontinentalkruste verursacht wurden.

    Notes: Abstract Lead-zinc-fluorite-barite veins in the lower and middle Benue Trough (Nigeria) are located within the Lower Cretaceous (Albian) carbonaceous shales, limestones, and arkosic sandstones of this intracontinental rift structure. The veins in the lower Benue Through consist of sphalerite + galena+marcasite ± chalcopyrite ± barite in a gangue of siderite and quartz hosted by carbonaceous shales, whereas in the middle Benue Trough, fluorite, barite, quartz, and similar sulfide minerals are hosted by limestone and sandstone. Fluid inclusion temperatures in vein minerals range from 95°C to 200°C (without pressure corrections) and salinities range from 14 to 24 equiv. wt% NaCl. Oxygen isotope compositions of limestone wall rocks (middle Benue) have been lowered from premineralization δ18O values of about 25 per mil to approximately 16 per mil. Fluid in equilibrium with vein calcite has a calculated δ18O of +2.6 per mil at 130°C. The 87Sr/86Sr ratio of this calcite (0.71497) suggests that strontium and calcium had a considerably more radiogenic source than the Cretaceous limestone or evaporite did (87Sr/86Sr=0.7073−0.7078). Observed strontium data, lead isotope compositions of galena, and REE patterns in fluorite suggest that the Lower Paleozoic basement rocks in the trough or their weathered equivalents are likely sources for the Benue Trough ore components. Sulfur isotope data suggest that the sulfur was probably contributed from the Cretaceous evaporites in the trough. Our data favor a basinal brine source for the ore-forming fluid. Fluid criculation probably resulted from high geothermal gradients accompanying continental rifting. Brine interaction with the clastic, carbonate, and evaporite rocks led to metal and sulfur leaching and later deposition in fractures accompanying the Cenomanian deformation and uplift in the Benue Trough.
