WHAT IS NAVDAT
NAVDAT- the North American Volcanic and Plutonic Database – is an online

data repository that catalogues age, chemical, and isotopic data for igneous rocks from
North America. NAVDAT is also a part of a growing advanced data management portal
for solid Earth Geochemistry, EARTHCHEM, and in the near future will be phased out
as a component of EARTHCHEM. NAVDAT provides permanent and publicly available
data and allows a continent-wide look at space-time patterns of magmatism. Numerous
resources including educational, animations, glossaries, are available through the
NAVDAT portal.

SAMPLE SELECTION
Below, we provide a brief guide to accessing plutonic data used in Figures 1 and
2. We used data points that are: (1) geographically within the western United States
Cordillera and its equivalents in Mexico (Baja California, Sonora), and Canada (Yukon
and British Columbia), (2) have crystallization ages between 225 and 45 Ma, a time span
that captures the life of the four major batholithic segments of North America, (3) contain
previously published Sr, Nd, and/or O isotopic data. We used only whole rock Sr and Nd
isotopic data. In the case of oxygen isotopes, we used quartz and zircon values and
determined a whole-rock δ18O in equilibrium with these phases at 800 0C (Taylor, 1988),
or whole-rock values if reported. Further line-by-line inspection of data points was
performed and led to rejection of about 264 points based on poor quality age or isotopic
data, rocks were not calc-alkaline and/or plutonic. The final compilation contained 3526
data points.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD PLUTONIC DATA FROM WESTERN NORTH AMERICA
Step 1: Go to the NAVDAT portal: http://navdat.kgs.ku.edu/
Step 2: Select search database: http://navdat.kgs.ku.edu/NavdatSearch/index.cfm
Step 3: Set age: <225, and >45 Ma
Step 4: Set geographic location by state. Select the following US states: Arizona,
California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Utah. Select both British Columbia and Yukon
for Canada. Select Baja California and Sonora for Mexico.
At this point, the server is ready to output data.
Step 5: Select ISOTOPES, and download data in one of the following formats:

ABSTRACT: Jurassic and Early Cretaceous plutons in the Klamath Mountains province of California and Oregon were
intruded both before and after thrusting during the Nevadan orogeny (ca. 155-148 Ma). Plutons intruded before
Nevadan thrusting range from calc-alkalic to calcic and display a range of compositions that changes consistently with
time. Among this group, Rb, K (sub 2) O, and initial (super 87) Sr/ (super 86) Sr (Sr (sub i) ; range 0.7034 to 0.7047)
decrease and epsilon Nd (range 2.0 to 4.8) increases in younger plutons. Within individual plutons, Sr (sub i) varies
considerably, whereas epsilon Nd is nearly constant. The Sr and Nd isotopic data typically plot to the right of the
mantle array. delta (super 18) O values in these plutons are greater than +8 per mil. Tonalitic and trondhjemitic plutons
intruded after Nevadan thrusting are typically calcic, contain low Rb and K (sub 2) O contents, and have delta (super
18) O less than +8 per mil. These plutons have a narrow range of Sr (sub i) (0.7033-0.7036) and epsilon Nd (4.7 to 7.4);
values that plot in the mantle array. The isotopic compositions of the pre-Nevadan plutons requires assimilation of
metasedimentary rocks or mixing with crustal melts at deep-crustal levels. The deep-crustal component is not exposed
in the province and was presumably truncated during Nevadan thrusting. Post-Nevadan plutons show little evidence of
assimilation of metasedimentary crust but display trace-element evidence (low K (sub 2) O, Rb, and rare-earth element
concentrations) consistent with an origin by partial melting of young ophiolitic rocks underthrust during the Nevadan
orogeny.

MONOGRAPH TITLE: Isotopic U-Pb ages of zircon from the granitoids of the central
Sierra Nevada, California
ABSTRACT: Sixty-two samples from well-established comagmatic granitoid sequences
and certain unassigned formations and plutons of the central part of the Sierra
Nevada Batholith have been dated by the isotopic U-Pb method on zircon. The
distribution of ages is consistent with the interpretation that, in this area, a
belt of Cretaceous granitoids trending about N. 20 degrees W. crosses a belt of
Jurassic granitoids trending about N. 40 degrees W.--from New Publications of
the Geological Survey, Jan. 1982.

ABSTRACT: Tephra layers volcanic ash and tuff beds of late Cenozoic age in east-
central and southern California are identified and correlated by the chemical
composition of volcanic glass, stratigraphic criteria, and petrographic
characteristics. Among widespread tephra units identified are the Lava Creek ash
bed 0.62 m.y., the Bishop ash bed 0.73 m.y., and the Huckleberry Ridge ash bed
2.01 m.y.. All three are identified for the first time in marine strata.
Identification of these and other tephra units permits correlation of upper
Cenozoic sedimentary strata deposited in marine, fluvial, and lacustrine
environments and helps reconcile provincial marine and continental
biostratigraphic chronologies.

ABSTRACT: Epizonal Laramide pluton. The stock and associated mineralization
evolved by a complex interaction of igneous and metasomatic processes as
follows: stage 1, forceful emplacement of syenite plutons; stage 2, intense
hydrothermal argillization of stage 1 syenites; stage 3, intrusion of mafic
syenite plutons, some of which are layered, along shear zones; stage 4, violent
escape of volatiles, producing intrusive breccia pipes; stage 5, intense K-
metasomatic alteration of the older stock units with production of a fenitelike
alteration halo extending 1000 m beyond the stock and simultaneous intrusion of
carbonate-bearing alkali feldspar dikes; stage 6, emplacement of trachyte,
syenite pegmatite, and mafic pegmatite dikes; stage 7, deposition of metallic
minerals, sanidine, quartz, calcite, and fluorite as veinlets and disseminated
replacement masses from hydrothermal solutions. The stock shows enrichment of
volatiles CO sub 2 , F, and S, high concentrations of Ba and Sr, low
DR2007254
concentrations of Rb, high concentrations of Cu, Ag, Au, Bi, Te, Pt, and Pd,
with little or no enrichment in Nb, U, Y, and Zr.--Modified journal abstract.

ABSTRACT: These rocks were derived from different levels of compositionally
zoned magmatic systems. The 2 earliest rhyolites probably were tapped from
short-lived silicic reservoirs, in contrast to the other 36 rhyolite domes and
lava flows which the isotopic data suggest may have been leaked from the top of
a single, long-lived magmatic system. Most Coso basalts show isotopic,
geochemical, and mineralogic evidence of interaction with crustal rocks, but one
analyzed flow has isotopic ratios that may represent mantle values super 87 Sr/
super 86 Sr = 0.7036, super 206 Pb/ super 204 Pb = 19.05, super 207 Pb/ super
204 Pb = 15.62, super 208 Pb/ super 204 Pb = 38.63. The initial isotopic
composition of typical rhyolite super 87 Sr/ super 86 Sr = 0.7053, super 206
Pb/ super 204 Pb = 19.29, super 207 Pb/ super 204 Pb = 15.68, super 208 Pb/
super 204 Pb = 39.00 is representative of the middle or upper crust. Andesitic
inclusions in the rhyolites are evidently samples of hybrid magmas from the
silicic/mafic interface in vertically zoned magma reservoirs. Silicic endmember
DR2007254
compositions inferred for these mixed magmas, however, are not those of erupted
rhyolite but reflect the zonation within the silicic part of the magma
reservoir. The compositional contrast at the interface between mafic and silicic
parts of these systems apparently was greater for the earlier, smaller
reservoirs.--Modified journal abstract.

ABSTRACT: The importance of the Cascade Range magmatic arc in understanding the
geologic evolution of western North America is widely recognized, and these arc
rocks have been extensively studied. The geochemical database presented here
represents the first phase of an effort to synthesize and interpret the
geochemistry of Western Cascades volcanic arc rocks. Using the large and
synoptic body of information in the present database, it is possible to
characterize the primary geochemical attributes of the Western Cascades rocks
and begin interpretation of their petrologic, tectonic, and metallogenic
significance.

MONOGRAPH TITLE: Geology and description of thorium and rare-earth deposits in
the southern Bear Lodge Mountains, northeastern Wyoming
ABSTRACT: Thorium and rare-earth disseminated deposits occur in altered trachyte
and phonolite intrusives that form the center of the Bear Lodge Dome. Several
areas totaling 3.2 km super 2 contain at least 2,000 ppm total rare earths,
and 1.7 km super 2 of this area contain at least 200 ppm thorium. In
addition, 26 rare-earth and thorium veins are also found. These mineral
deposits are related to doming of Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks by
alkalic intrusives of Tertiary age.--from New Publications of the Geological
Survey, April 1983.

ABSTRACT: New major- and trace-element and radiogenic Sr and Nd data from
granitic rocks help to characterize the geochemical composition of the Coastal
Sonora batholith, which represents the westernmost portion of the Laramide
Magmatic arc approximately 80-40 Ma in Mexico. Compared with more inland-
located regions of the arc in central and eastern Sonora Inner Granites, the
plutons within the coastal batholith have higher MgO, FeO, and CaO and lower K
sub 2 O contents, and tend to be more depleted in Nb, U, and to a lesser extent
Rb, but relatively enriched in Sr. These rocks display flatter slopes of rare-
earth elements, with La abundances around 80 to 200 times chondrite values and
smaller but well-developed negative Eu anomalies. Initial super 87 Sr/ super 86
Sr ratios and epsilon Nd values from a few studied samples of the Coastal Sonora
batholith range from 0.70586 to 0.70679 and from -2.3 to -4.7, respectively.
These isotopic signatures allow recognition of a more mantle-related magma
source for this batholith as compared with the Inner Granites, which have higher
Sr and lower Nd ratios. In a more regional context, the compositions of the
Coastal Sonora batholith rocks resemble those of the eastern portion of the
Peninsular Ranges batholith to the northwest. Based on our observations, we
propose that partial melting of a crust thickened by overlapping periods of
Jurassic through Cretaceous arc magmatism along the southwestern edge of the
North American continent may account for the geochemical and isotopic
characteristics displayed by the Coastal Sonora batholith granitic rocks.

ABSTRACT: Eocene hydrothermal alteration around epizonal granite
plutons.Systematic mapping shows that anomalous delta D and delta (super 18)
Ovalues occur over more than 15,000 km (super 2) , indicating theextensive
lateral dimensions of the ancient circulating systems. Mostof the ore deposits
in the southern half of the batholith areepithermal and mesothermal Au-Ag veins
that are located near theperiphery of the low- (super 18) O zones. This
association links thesedeposits with the Tertiary hydrothermal activity and has
greatpotential as an exploration tool in the heavily forested region. TheEocene
ground-water circulation pattern was affected over largelateral distances (25 to
50 km) and great depths (5 to 7 km).Circulation patterns are related to caldera
ring structures and may beof particular importance in geothermal exploration and
exploitation ofanalogous modern systems.--Modified journal abstract.

ABSTRACT: The Fine Gold Intrusive Suite FGIS, located at the western edge of the
Sierra Nevada batholith north of Fresno, California, is one of a number of Late
Cretaceous intrusive complexes that become progressively younger to the east.
Systematic west-to-east compositional variations across the batholith include an
increase in K sub 2 O and Rb abundances and initial super 87 Sr/ super 86 SrSr
DR2007254
sub i values and a decrease in initial super 143 Nd/ super 144 Nd values.
Several geochemical and tectonic boundaries have been proposed to traverse the
FGIS including the Sr sub i = 0.706 isopleth, the boundary between Panthalassan
and North American lithosphere, and the boundary between terranes having
contrasting magnetic susceptibility intensities. The present study was developed
in order to assess these proposed boundaries and characterize source magmas of
this westernmost Cretaceous intrusive suite. The petrography, major-oxide and
trace-element abundances, and isotopic parameters were studied for samples from
each of the five major lithodemes which comprise the FGIS. These are: 1 the
Tonalite of Ross Creek, a small, relatively mafic pluton; 2 the granodiorites of
Arch rock; 3 the Ward Mountain Trondhjemite; and 4 the Knowles Granodiorite--all
small, relatively felsic plutons; and 5 the extensive Bass Lake Tonalite, which
varies from tonalite to granodiorite. All FGIS lithodemes belong to the calc-
alkaline magma series and are depleted in K, Rb, Nb, and Ta. Rare-earth element
REE patterns show that FGIS samples are moderately enriched in the light REE
relative to chondrites La sub N = 16 to 110, exhibit moderate light REE
fractionation La sub N /Lu sub N = 2 to 37, and have a Eu-anomaly which is small
or negligible. Isotopic data measured on a subset of six samples show the
following ranges: Sr sub i = 0.7044 to 0.7061, initial super 143 Nd/ super 144
Nd = 0.51246 to 0.51270 epsilon sub Nd = +2.0 to -3.6, delta super 18 O = 9.9 to
12.1 per mil measured on plagioclase separates, super 206 Pb/ super 204 Pb =
18.88 to 19.28, super 207 Pb/ super 204 Pb = 15.62 to 15.68, and super 208 Pb/
super 204 Pb = 38.81 to 39.34. Data from this study and from the literature on
the Sherman Thomas pluton, a 126-Ma subsurface trondhjemite located just to the
west of the FGIS, suggest that the Cretaceous mantle in this area had an Sr sub
i of 0.7032 and an initial super 143 Nd/ super 144 Nd of 0.51297 epsilon sub Nd
= +9.2, only slightly more evolved than mantle sources of mid-ocean ridge
basalts. Oxygen data delta super 18 O = 9.2 per mil indicate that the Sherman
Thomas magma interacted with sedimentary material. Limited data on the Ward
Mountain and Knowles bodies suggest that primitive mantle magmas interacted with
crustal material to a limited degree, resulting in slightly raised Sr sub i and
slightly lowered super 143 Nd/ super 144 Nd values. More extensive data for the
Bass Lake Tonalite available from this study and the literature suggest that
this mapped body may be a composite complex consisting of four distinct members.
Rocks located south and west of the Coarsegold roof pendant originated from
mantle melts that interacted with crustal rocks which resulted in a little
oxidized, homogeneous magma with Sr sub i of 0.7045 and initial super 143 Nd/
super 144 Nd of 0.51270 epsilon sub Nd = +1.1 that then evolved by fractional
crystallization with little further crustal interaction. Rocks located just to
the north and east of the pendant underwent the same sequence, but interaction
with two different types of crustal rocks yielded two distinct initial magmas;
one was little oxidized with Sr sub i of 0.7057 and initial super 143 Nd/ super
144 Nd of 0.51253 epsilon sub Nd = +1.3 and another one was highly oxidized with
Sr sub i of 0.7061 and initial super 143 Nd/ super 144 Nd of 0.51246 epsilon sub
Nd = -2.1. Both of these magmas then evolved by fractional crystallization with
little further crustal interaction. A fourth variety of magma may comprise Bas

MONOGRAPH TITLE: K-Ar ages of Jurassic to Tertiary plutonic and metamorphic
rocks,northwestern Utah and northeastern Nevada
ABSTRACT: Five granitoid plutons in the Newfoundland Mountains, Silver
IslandMountains, and Toano Range yielded Late Jurassic 155- to 150-Ma,Late
Cretaceous 77-Ma, and late Eocene 37-Ma K-Ar ages. Thesecooling ages somewhat
postdate the times of pluton emplacement, butthey correspond closely to other K-
Ar ages for plutons in the regionsuggesting that these ages approximate the
times for regionwide pulsesof plutonism. Metamorphic rocks in the Toano Range
yielded a scatterof K-Ar mica ages from 94 to 61 Ma that is interpreted as
variableresetting of ages by a thermal event caused by nearby Late
Cretaceousplutonism followed by prolonged cooling. In contrast, metamorphicmica
from the western Raft River Mountains yielded a Tertiary 30-MaK-Ar age that
corresponds well to previous dating of the metamorphismin that metamorphic core
complex.

ABSTRACT: More than 200 new analyses for major and minor elements, including
halogens, are presented for obsidians > 70 percent SiO sub 2 of worldwide
occurrence. An additional 130 analyses for major elements are compiled from the
literature. This data base establishes the patterns of chemical variation in
obsidians in the context of five major plate-tectonic regimes of the Earth's
crust, and in terms of major petrogenetic processes. All major and many minor
elements are summarized individually.

ABSTRACT: Magmatism in central Chihuahua occurred from at least 68 to 27.5 Ma, a
duration that can be separated into two periods by an order of magnitude
increase in the intensity of magmatism starting at 46 Ma. Activity prior to 46
Ma was volumetrically minor and possibly intermittent. The oldest rocks 68 Ma
are a localized, very thick, intermediate-composition sequence of lava flows,
debris flows, and related sediments. From 62 until at least 52 Ma, numerous
small intrusives and felsic tuffs were emplaced locally. Between 46 and 27.5 Ma,
the area was inundated with a quasi-steady supply of volcanic products. The
post-46 Ma activity evolved through four distinct stages that produced two
sequences of felsic ash-flow tuffs separated by a sequence of massive coarsely
porphyritic lavas and tuffs of intermediate to felsic composition. These three
calc-alkaline stages were gradually succeeded at about 31 Ma by mildly alkaline
basaltic andesite lavas and rhyolitic tuffs with peralkaline characteristics.
All volcanic activity terminated abruptly at 27.5 Ma. The most significant
events in the evolution of this magmatism are its onset, its termination, and
the profound increase in activity beginning at 46 Ma. In its timing and subdued
intensity, the pre-46 Ma magmatism fits a setting within the interior of the
Laramide Cordilleran orogen. A convergent magmatic arc had advanced eastward to
central Chihuahua by at least 68 Ma. The oldest rocks are tilted, but volcanic
rocks 46 Ma and younger were not deformed. The abrupt increase in magmatism at
46 Ma may be a manifestation of diminished compressional stress related to a
decrease in the rate of plate convergence along western North America. The
regional stress field remained in compression until about 31 Ma, which
corresponds approximately to the time of transition from calc-alkaline to mildly
alkaline mafic and peralkaline felsic volcanism. Magmatism ended at 27.5 Ma,
prior to extensional faulting in the area, but generally coincident with the end
of plate convergence along part of the continental margin of western Mexico.

ABSTRACT: This report summarizes the Cenozoic stratigraphy of sedimentary and
volcanic rocks of the Marysvale volcanic field, Utah, by compiling all available
published isotopic ages and by presenting new K-Ar, fission-track, and super 40
Ar/ super 39 Ar ages on igneous rocks of the volcanic field. This report shows
that the igneous rocks of the field, which is one of the largest in the West,
range from 34 Ma Oligocene to Quaternary.

MONOGRAPH TITLE: Constraints on the formation of the Bitterroot Lobe of the
IdahoBatholith, Idaho and Montana, from U-Pb zircon geochronology andfeldspar Pb
isotopic data
ABSTRACT: Zircons from tonalite emplaced along the western periphery of
theBitterroot Lobe of the Idaho Batholith yield an almost concordant ageof 94+
or -1.4 Ma; monzogranite and granodiorite plutons along thenorthern edge of the
lobe yield ages of 75 to 71 Ma. Thevolumetrically more dominant plutons in the
central and western partsof the lobe were emplaced between 59 and 54 Ma. Upper
intercept data,combined with Pb isotopic data from feldspars, confirm that the
magmasof the Bitterroot Lobe were derived mainly from an early Proterozoiclower
continental crust.

ABSTRACT: The compositionally and texturally zoned Tuolumne Intrusive Suite
occupies most of the Tolumne Meadows Quadrangle. Modal, chemical, and isotopic
analyses of plutonic rock samples show that both compositions and initial super
87 Sr- super 86 Sr change systematically inward from the margins of the Tuolumne
Intrusive Suite as the rocks become more felsic.

MONOGRAPH TITLE: Petrology of a mafic intrusive suite in the central Sierra
Nevada Batholith, California
ORGANIZATION: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, United
States USA
ABSTRACT: Mafic magmas supply heat and mass in the generation of silicic
batholiths such as the Sierra Nevada batholith, but mafic rocks are uncommonly
exposed and poorly studied. Field studies of mafic intrusive suites exposed
along the eastern escarpment of the Sierra Nevada, between Big Pine and
Independence, show that mafic magmatism is commonly expressed as thick suites of
sills which intruded contemporaneously with silicic magma. The most striking of
these suites is the Aberdeen intrusive suite which is composed of subhorizontal
diorite sills with over 2 km of vertical exposure. Mafic/felsic interaction and
magma mingling textures are observed from hand specimen scale to mountain-scale
interdigitation of magma types. Isotopic study indicates that these chemically
distinct magmas evolved from a similar source and that the mafic source of these
magmas may not be depleted mantle as previously speculated, but an enriched
lithospheric mantle

ABSTRACT: The Tertiary Chisos Formation, located in the eastern alkalic belt,
Trans-Pecos magmatic province is divided into the Alamo Creek Basalt, Ash Spring
Basalt, Bee Mountain Basalt, Mule Ear Spring Tuff, and Tule Mountain
Trachyandesite. Major and trace element modeling, combined with petrographic and
field evidence suggest a complex petrogenesis. Varying degrees of partial
melting of a metasomatically veined mantle produced compositionally different
enriched primary liquids. Varying evolutionary paths of these liquids, caused by
fractionation, assimilation, and replenishment, have given rise to chemically
independent magmas and evolved products. Several distinct chemical groupings
exist within the Chisos Formation. Additionally, some Alamo Creek samples are
chemically similar to Ash Spring samples, suggesting a replication of magmatic
processes through time. K-Ar age determinations indicate that the Ash Spring
Basalt had a long eruption period 34-43 ma, or several Alamo Creek outcrops were
previously incorrectly mapped as Ash Spring Basalt.

ABSTRACT: New mapping, structural analysis, and super 40 Ar/ super 39 Ar dating
reveal an unusually well-constrained history of Late Eocene extension in the
Copper Mountains of the northern Basin and Range province. In this area, the
northeast-trending Copper Creek normal fault juxtaposes a distinctive sequence
of metacarbonate and granitoid rocks against a footwall of Upper Precambrian to
Lower Cambrian quartzite and phyllite. Correlation of the hanging wall with
footwall rocks to the northwest provides an approximate piercing point that
requires 8-12 km displacement in an ESE direction. This displaced fault slice is
itself bounded above by another normal fault the Meadow Fork Fault, which brings
down a hanging wall of dacitic to rhyolitic tuff that grades conformably upward
into conglomerate. These relationships record the formation of a fault-bounded
basin between 41.3 and 37.4 Ma. The results are consistent with a regional
pattern in which volcanism and extension swept southward from British Columbia
to southern Nevada from Early Eocene to Late Oligocene time. Because the
southward sweep of volcanism is thought to track the steepening and foundering
of the downgoing oceanic plate, these results suggest that the crucial
mechanisms for the onset of regional extension were probably changes in plate
boundary conditions coupled with convective removal of mantle lithosphere and
associated regional magmatism and lithospheric weakening. Paleobotanical data
indicate that surface elevations in northeastern Nevada were not significantly
different than at present, suggesting that gravitational instability of
overthickened continental crust was not the dominant force driving the onset of
crustal thinning in mid-Tertiary time.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we present super 87 Rb/ super 86 Sr and super 230 Th/
super 238 U isotope analyses of glasses and phenocrysts from postcaldera
rhyolites erupted between 150 to 100 ka from the Long Valley magmatic system.
Both isotope systems indicate complex magma evolution with preeruptive mineral
crystallization and magma fractionation, followed by extended storage in a
silicic magma reservoir. Glass analyses yield a Rb-Sr isochron of 257+ or -39
ka, which can be explained by a feldspar-fractionation event approximately 150
ky before eruption. Individual feldspar-glass pairs confirm this age result. A
mineral super 230 Th- super 238 U isochron in a low-silica rhyolite from the
Deer Mountain Dome defines an age of 236+ or -1 ka, but the glass and whole rock
do not lie on the isochron. U-Th fractionation of the rocks is controlled by the
accessory minerals zircon and probably allanite, which crystallized at 250+ or -
3 ka and 187+ or -9 ka, respectively. All major mineral phases contain accessory
mineral phases; therefore, the mineral isochron represents a mixture of zircon
and allanite populations. A precision of + or -1 ka for the mixing array implies
that the minor phases must have crystallized within this timescale. Longer
periods of crystal growth would cause the mixing array to be less well defined.
U-series data from other low- and high-silica rhyolites indicate younger
accessory mineral crystallization events at approximately 200 and 140 ka,
probably related to the thermal evolution of the magma reservoir. These
crystallization events are, however, only documented by the accessory minerals
and had no further influence on bulk magma compositions. We interpret the
indistinguishable age results from both isotope systems approximately 250 ka to
record the fractionation of small magma batches by filter pressing from a much
larger underlying magma volume, followed by physical isolation and extended
storage at the top of the magma reservoir for up to 150 ky.

ABSTRACT: The Bitterroot metamorphic core complex is an exhumed, mid-
crustal,plutonic-metamorphic complex that formed during crustal thickening
andsubsequent extension in the hinterland of the North AmericanCordilleran
Orogen, in the northern Idaho batholith region. Extensionwas accommodated mainly
on the Bitterroot mylonite zone, a500-1500-m-thick shear zone that deforms
granitic intrusive rocks asyoung as 53-52 Ma, as well as older high-grade
metamorphic rocks andplutons. Exhumation of the core complex, in Eocene time, is
marked inthe shear zone by the transition from amphibolite-faciesmylonitization,
to greenschist-facies mylonitization, chloriticbrecciation, to brittle faulting
that progressed from shallowercrustal levels in the west to deeper crustal
levels in the east fromca. 53 -30 Ma based on U-Pb, Ar-Ar, and fission-track
data. Apatiteand zircon fission-track data record the lower-temperature part of
theexhumation history and help define when the shear zone becameinactive, as
well as the transition from rapid, core complex-styleextension to slower basin-
and-range-style extension. They indicatethat the western part of the complex was
exhumed to within 1-2 km ofthe surface by approximately 48-45 Ma, while the
eastern part of thecomplex was still at amphibolite-facies conditions and that
theeastern part of the complex was not exhumed below approximately 60degrees C
until after 30 Ma. Younger apatite fission-track ages <or =26 Ma on the eastern
range front of the Bitterroot Mountainssuggest that the present topographic
expression of the mylonite frontwas due to Miocene high-angle faulting and
widening of the BitterrootValley.

MONOGRAPH TITLE: Geology and geochemistry of the Papoose Peak Quadrangle in the

ORGANIZATION: University of Idaho, Moscow, ID, United States (USA)
PAGES DATE: 81 pp.
ABSTRACT: The Papoose Peak Quadrangle, located in central Idaho on the
northeastside of the Atlanta lobe of the Late Cretaceous Idaho batholith,
ismostly made up of a shallow Eocene intrusion. The Eocene intrusivesuite
contains Precambrian metasedimentary roof pendants and intrudesthe Idaho
batholith on the northeast corner of the quadrangle. Eoceneintrusive rocks have
been divided into two suites: pink granite andquartz monzodiorite (Bennett and
Knowles, 1985; Lewis and Kiilsgaard,1991). Previous geochemical evidence for
Eocene suites throughoutcentral Idaho suggests they are not related by crystal
fractionationof a single magma type. Although the intrusive suite studied
hereshows textural characteristics of both the pink granite and the
quartzmonzodiorite suites, modal compositions plot in the granite field ofthe
I.U.G.S. classification scheme (Strekeisen, 1976). Silica contentof the
intrusive suite ranges from 62% to 73% and are calc-alkaline.Geochemical
affinities do not clearly classify the intrusive suite ashaving an I-, S-, or A-
type source, but possibly a combination ofthese sources. Field relations and
linear trends observed throughoutHarker plots suggest the intrusive suite is
related through crystalfractionation. Two different crystal fractionation
models, one usingratios of trace-elements from different samples and the other
amass-balance modeling program using major-element data, suggest theintrusive
suite may be related through crystal fractionation. Theintrusive suite of the
study area has mineralogical and geochemicalcharacteristics of both the pink
granite and quartz monzodioritesuites defined by Bennett and Knowles (1985), and
crystalfractionation models support the idea that the intrusive suiteoriginated
from one source, with both mantle- and crustal-derivedcomponents. Isotopic data
are needed to further test this hypothesis.

ABSTRACT: In order better to understand the origin and significance of across-
strike geochemical variations in the Eocene Absaroka volcanic province AVP, this
article compares compositional data for magmatic rocks from two eruptive centers
that define type localities for major stratigraphic subdivisions of the Absaroka
Volcanic Supergroup. Geochemical variations for evolved lavas indicate that the
calc-alkaline differentiation trend at Washburn volcano results from mixing
compositionally diverse mafic and silicic magmas, whereas the shoshonitic trend
at the more easternly Sunlight volcano reflects assimilation-fractional
crystallization. The mantle source for both volcanoes is, as shown by
incompatible trace element contents and radiogenic isotopic ratios of mafic
lavas, largely within ancient depleted lithospheric mantle later enriched by a
metasomatic event characterized by low Sm/Nd and Rb/Sr ratios. The approximate
timing of the enrichment event, as calculated from Nd isotopic data 2.2-2.0 Ga,
is similar to estimates from other magmatic fields in the Wyoming Province.
Large variations in trace element ratios of mafic lavas involving large ion
lithophile elements LILE and light rare earth element that are not obviously
reflected in isotopic ratios also indicate a recent <100 Ma metasomatic
enrichment event. Superficially, the mantle source for Sunlight volcano appears
to contain larger amounts of the young metasomatic component, as measured by
high LILE/high field strength element HFSE ratios. Parental magmas at both
volcanoes have similar HFSE contents and HFSE/heavy rare earth element ratios,
however, suggesting comparable degrees of source region melting and
metasomatism. Rather than variable degrees of metasomatism and partial melting,
the geochemical differences between the mafic rocks are best explained by
DR2007254
compositional heterogeneity in metasomatic fluids inherited from breakdown of

different phases in hydrous peridotite. A consistent geodynamic model to account
for generation of AVP magmas involves metasomatism of asthenosphere and
subcontinental mantle lithosphere during shallow subduction of the Farallon
plate during the Late Cretaceous through Paleocene, followed in the Eocene by
foundering of the slab and primary basalt generation through major heating
associated with upwelling and influx of hot asthenosphere.

ABSTRACT: The Golden Bear and Coso Dike sets are distinctive K-feldspar porphyry
dikes that crop out on opposite sides of Owens Valley. Petrographic, chemical,
isotopic, and geochronologic data suggest that the dike sets are correlative.
The correlation requires approximately 65 km of dextral offset across the valley
since the dikes were intruded ca. 83 Ma, which greatly exceeds previous
estimates. The Golden Bear and Coso dikes strike roughly perpendicular to Owens
Valley, and neither reappears on the opposite side of the valley. New U-Pb
zircon data from four samples indicate that both sets were intruded ca. 83 Ma.
The dikes cut similar, distinctive wall rocks, including newly dated 102 Ma
leucogranites Independence and Sardine plutons in the Sierra Nevada; Coso
leucogranite in the Coso Range. The sets have nearly identical textures and
DR2007254
mineralogy, with K-spar phenocrysts up to 8 cm across and euhedral quartz

bipyramids approximately 1 cm across. Major and trace element contents also are
indistinguishable; however, interpretation of preliminary Sr isotopic data is
more complicated. Isotopic compositions of contiguous portions of each dike set
vary and compositional ranges of the two sets do not overlap Golden Bear:
0.7069-0.7073, Coso: 0.7074-0.7084 Chilled margins are consistently less
radiogenic than adjacent dike cores. We interpret the data to suggest that the
dike sets are correlative, but that they have been variably contaminated by
their wall rocks. Consequently, we interpret the two sets to have once been
continuous and later offset from each other by approximately 65 km of dextral
shear. We hypothesize that dextral offset of the dike sets was accommodated by a
through-going right-slip fault system, extending northward up Owens Valley from
the western side of the Coso Range. If faulting began during the Pliocene as
some studies suggest, an offset of 65 km requires either slip rates were at
least 25% faster than current geodetically measured rates 5 mm/yr or earlier
inception of faulting, perhaps during the late Miocene regional transition from
orthogonal extension to dextral transtension. Pliocene onset and a slower slip
rate also is possible if there was significant Late Cretaceous or early Cenozoic
offset.

MONOGRAPH TITLE: super 40 Ar/ super 39 Ar and K-Ar geochronology and
tectonicsignificance of the Upper Cretaceous Adel Mountain Volcanics
andspatially associated Tertiary igneous rocks, northwestern Montana
ABSTRACT: We report new super 40 Ar/ super 39 Ar and K-Ar dates from theUpper
Cretaceous Adel Mountain Volcanics of northwestern Montana andspatially related
Tertiary igneous rocks. The Adel Mountain volcanicfield consists of about 900
square kilometers of lavas, associatedvolcaniclastic strata, and intrusions that
lie astride the easternmostfolds of the Montana disturbed belt of the
Cordilleran fold and thrustbelt. The Adel Mountain volcanic rocks have been
intensely deformed byfolds and thrust faults along their southwestern margin but
areessentially undeformed to the east. Prior to isotopic dating, the ageof the
Adel Mountain Volcanics was the subject of debate, with ageassignments ranging
from Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary. Isotopicdates reported here demonstrate
that the Adel Mountain Volcanics areclearly Late Cretaceous and that the
volcanic rocks were probablyemplaced during an approximately 2- to 3-million-
year interval betweenabout 76 to 73 mega-annum Ma. The new dates from the Adel
MountainVolcanics are significant in that they provide a more refined
andreliable age for the Late Cretaceous cratonic paleomagnetic referencepole for
North America. The dates from the Adel Mountain Volcanics, aswell as those from
spatially related younger intrusions, also provideimportant constraints on the
age of fold and thrust-belt deformationalong the eastern margin of the Montana
disturbed belt. Syntectonicdeformation of the Adel Mountain Volcanics, as well
as apparentfolding and faulting of Tertiary quartz monzonite sills,
indicatesthat contractional deformation clearly spanned the Late Cretaceous
andmay have extended to as young as the Paleocene/Eocene boundary atabout 55.5
Ma. Elsewhere, posttectonic field relationships indicatethat deformation may
have ended prior to 60 Ma. Complexities in fieldrelationships with respect to
folds and faults shown by the earlyTertiary intrusions as well as complications
in the argon systematicsindicate that these interpretations must be considered
preliminary.Further field work and structural studies and additionalhigh-
precision geochronology are needed in order to place limits onthe cessation of
contractional deformation in this part of Montana.Unambiguously posttectonic
dikes 47.5 Ma that cut all deformed rocksand structures in the area indicate
that disturbed belt deformationhad clearly ceased by the early middle Eocene
prior to the onset ofwidespread crustal extension in this part of the northern
Cordillera.

Idaho,is composed of two major compositional suites: 1 a mineralogicallyuniform
weakly peraluminous high-silica granite suite; and 2 ametaluminous granodiorite
suite comprising mostly hornblende andbiotite-rich quartz monzodiorite and
quartz monzonite. Field relationssuggest that the granodiorite is the older
unit. Detailed traceelement combined with stable and radiogenic isotopic data
are reportedhere for this stock and are used to identify respective sources
foreach suite and the nature of the underlying craton. Pb isotopic ratiosplace
both suites in the field of magmas derived from Precambriancrystalline basement,
super 87 Sr/ super 86 Sr, super 143 Nd/super 144 Nd, and delta super 18 O
isotopic ratios also suggestcrustal components. Pb-Pb isochron and T super Nd
model agedeterminations of 1.6 Ga for the granite and 1.9 Ga for thegranodiorite
imply a Proterozoic, rather than Archean, age for thelower crust in central
Idaho. Earlier studies have suggested aco-magmatic origin for these intrusive
suites, but the combined major,trace element, and isotopic data suggest that the
two suites must bederived from different sources. The absence of mantle
signaturesimplies that partial melting occurred completely within thecontinental
crust, possibly as a direct result of Cenozoic tectonicthickening. The
respective suites were derived separately, and theirmagmas are not genetically
related by fractional crystallization orsource mixing. The granodiorite was
generated by partial melting of agarnet amphibolite or mafic granulite
completely within the lowercrust, while the granite is a lower/upper crustal
hybrid composed of agarnet-bearing lower crustal granulite severely modified
bycontamination of middle to upper crustal Proterozoic units of theBelt-
Yellowjacket Terrane. Thus, the Eocene magmas in central Idaho donot appear to
be directly related to subduction; however, theirgenesis is probably related to
heat transfer from the upper mantle tothe crust and subsequent lithospheric
thinning.

PAGES DATE: 221 pp.
ABSTRACT: The Prairie Creek stock, located in central Idaho along
thesoutheastern margin of the Idaho batholith, is a shallow Eocenegranitic
intrusion. Directly overlying the granite is a gradationalunit of dacite
prophyry and granodiorite. Previous work in the areasuggests that the granite
and granodiorite are co-magmatic. However,trace element, radiogenic, and stable
isotope data indicate distinctpetrogenetic histories and source materials for
the two suites.Granite suite initial super 87 Sr/ super 86 Sr ratios of 0.7095
to0.7097 and epsilon sub Nd near -14 imply that the granites wereproduced by
melting within the lower crust. Pb-Pb isochron ages super 206 Pb/ super 204 Pb =
18.19 to 18.24, super 207 Pb/super 204 Pb = 15.59 to 15.61, and super 208 Pb/
super 204 Pb =38.76 to 38.87 and Nd model ages of 1.5 to 1.7 Ga from the
granitesuggest that the lower crust in the region is Middle Proterozoic.delta
super 18 O quartz values of 8.6 to 9.9 per mil also indicatethe granites were
derived from crustal material. The granite magmasmay also have assimilated some
middle-upper crust during their ascent.Limited data suggest that the
granodiorites followed a similarhistory, however, during their genesis
incorporated smallerproportions of upper crustal material than the granite
suite. deltasuper 18 O values quartz-feldspar fractionations ranging from 1.6to
7.6 per mil from the granite show that some of the rocks werealtered by meteoric
hydrothermal fluids. Crustal thickening and/orEocene lithospheric extension,
documented by various workers, may havesteepened the geothermal gradient in the
area. This could havefacilitated melting in the lower crust and produced the
magmas thatformed the Prairie Creek area igneous rocks.

MONOGRAPH TITLE: Petrology, geochemistry and petrogenesis of the Eocene Big
Smoky CreekStock, south-central Idaho
PAGES DATE: 147 pp.
ABSTRACT: The Eocene Big Smoky Creek Stock is one of many shallow
graniticplutons located along the eastern margin of the Idaho Batholith insouth-
central Idaho. The Big Smoky Creek Stock is a homogeneous bodyof medium grained,
hornblende-biotite granite. The granite suite isuniform mineralogically and
texturally. The granite is closely relatedtemporally and spatially with a
dacite-granodiorite suite which formsa hypabyssal-plutonic complex surrounding
the Big Smoky Creek Stock.The dacite-granodiorite suite is a quartz monzodiorite
to granite andcomprises numerous gradational dikes and plutons. Previous work
andfield relations have shown the dacite-granodiorite to be older andthat the
two suites have different parent magmas. The BSCS wasaffected by hydrothermal
activity after crystallization, based onoxygen isotopes. This activity did not
affect Sr since Rb-Sr datingreturns ages of approximately 50 Ma, similar to
previous ages in thearea. The suites have an anorogenic origin with partial
meltingcompletely within the middle to lower continental crust facilitated byan
extensional regime prior to and during the emplacement of the twosuites. Major,
trace and REE suggest different sources for the twosuites non-co-magmatic.
Radiogenic isotopes suggest the sourceregion was the lower crust with the
dacite-granodiorite sourceslightly deeper than the granite source, although
mixing ofdacite-granodiorite sources can not be ruled out. Oxygen isotopic
datasuggest minor, if any, upper crustal contamination. The source rocksare
possibly granulite rocks of Proterozoic age. Thesegranulite-facies rocks appear
to have limited to absent garnet in theresidue. REE suggest limited plagioclase
in the dacite-granodiorite'ssource residue and larger amounts of plagioclase in
the granite'ssource residue. A mafic amphibolite facies source is suggested for
thedacite-granodiorite and a more felsic source for the granite. Pb andNd model
ages determined sources of Proterozoic age. Successful REEmodelling from a
greywacke source suggests Proterozoic metasedimentaryrocks Belt Supergroup as a
possible source component for the granitesuite.

ABSTRACT: Potassium-argon dates on more than 50 whole-rock samples of volcanic
extrusive and pyroclastic rocks of the Sierra Nevada are used with the
stratigraphy to determine cenozoic and chronology regional correlation. Andesite
pebbles from Wheatland Formation, which contains Eocene mollusks, give a
composite date of 53.5 m.y. Dates of 19.9 to 33.2 m.y. on 18 early rhyoltic
tuffs show a late Oligocene-early Miocene major period of rhyolitic volcanism;
some rhyolite, however, gives dates of 4.7 m.y. The Mehrten Formation and
andestic equivalents, including Table Mountain and other latites dated at 8.8 to
9.3 m.y. are middle Miocene-late Pliocene. Dates of 2.9 to 3.5 m.y. on basalts
at elevations below Matthes' profile of the Pliocene San Joaquin River show that
the Canyon stage of erosion was started by late Pliocene.

ABSTRACT: Sedimentary rocks exposed in the area aggregate about 3,800 feet in
thickness and are Triassic?, Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Quaternary in age.
Igneous rocks form a differentiated calc-alkalic series from microgabbro through
quartz monzonite. Generally, least siliceous rocks occur as sills or flat-topped
laccoliths and more siliceous rocks as mushroom-shaped laccoliths and
bysmaliths. All igneous bodies were intruded into sediments forcibly with no
evidence of wallrock alteration or assimilation; pre-intrusive fracture zones
controlled emplacement of some. Chemical analyses suggest differentiation from a
single-source magma. Uranium, vanadium, and copper deposits possibly related to
igneous activity occur in McElmo Canyon.

MONOGRAPH TITLE: Geology of the Cortez Quadrangle, Nevada
PAGES DATE: 117 pp.
ABSTRACT: The stratigraphy, structure, and economic geology of the Cortez
quadrangle, in north-central Nevada, are discussed. The area is of particular
interest because of the formerly active bonanza silver cap at Cortez and because
of the exposure of the Roberts thrust, one of the great structures of the
Cordillera and critical to an understanding of Cordilleran evolution. Paleozoic,
Mesozoic, and Cenozoic strata and Tertiary volcanics are exposed in the area.
The Roberts thrust is latest Devonian or Early Mississippian in age. Basin and
Range faults originated in Pliocene and have been active in post-Pleistocene.
Major polymetallic sulfide ores at Cortez are chiefly manto deposits in the
Hamburg Dolomite, although large tonnages have been obtained from fissure veins
associated with quartz porphyry dikes.

ABSTRACT: K-Ar age determinations on rocks in the Tucson Mountains indicate two
main periods of volcanic activity. The Cat Mountain Rhyolite, Biotite Rhyolite,
and Shorts Ranch Andesite, which comprise and older group, range in age from 57
m.y. to 70 m.y. and are Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary Laramide. K-Ar ages of
71 m.y. to 75 m.y. for the intrusive rocks near Amole Peak are close to that of
the Cat Mountain Rhyolite. Rocks in the younger group range in age from 20 m.y.
to 30 m.y. and are late Oligocene to Miocene. Similar isotopic ages of the mid-
Tertiary rocks near Safford Peak and the Tumamoc Hill-'A' Mountain area suggest
a closer relationship between these two sequences than previously thought.

ABSTRACT: The northern East Humboldt Range NEHR of northeastern Nevada exposes a
suite of complexly deformed migmatitic, upper amphibolite-facies rocks in the
footwall of the Ruby Mountains-East Humboldt Range RM-EHR detachment fault. New
super 40 Ar/ super 39 Ar data on hornblende, muscovite, biotie, and potassium
feldspar help constrain the kinematic and thermal evolution of this terrain
during Tertiary extensional exhumation. Hornblende samples from relatively high
structural levels yield discordant age spectra that suggest initial cooling
during early Tertiary time 63-49 Ma. When coupled with petrological constraints
indicating a strongly decompressional P-T-t path above 550 degrees C, the
hornblende data suggest that exhumation of the RM-EHR may have initiated in
early Tertiary time, approximately coincident with the initial phases of
unroofing in the Wood Hills immediately to the east and with the end of
thrusting in the late Mesozoic to early Tertiary Sevier orogenic belt of eastern
Nevada and western Utah. This temporal coincidence suggests that gravitational
collapse of tectonically thickened crust in the internal zone of the Sevier belt
could have driven the initial phases of unroofing. Thermal history during the
final stage of exhumation of the NEHR is constrained by discordant hornblende
cooling ages of 36-29 Ma from deep structural levels and biotite, muscovite, and
potassium feldspar cooling ages of 27-21 Ma from a range of structural levels.
Comparison of muscovite, biotite, and potassium feldspar cooling ages with
previously published fission-track cooling ages implies very rapid cooling rates
at temperatures below the closure temperature for muscovite 270 degrees -350
degrees C, but time gaps of >7 m.y. between hornblende and mica cooling ages
suggest that cooling at higher temperatures was more gradual. In addition,
comparison of super 40 Ar/ super 39 Ar mica cooling ages with previously
published fission-track apatite cooling ages suggests pronounced thermal
gradients between the NEHR and adjacent areas during latest Oligocene to
earliest Miocene time. Such thermal gradients could be readily explained if the
RM-EHR detachment fault dipped >30 degrees between the 300 degrees C and 100
degrees C isotherms. Finally, super 40 Ar/ super 39 Ar biotite cooling ages
increase southward through the East Humboldt Range, compatible with northward
extrapolation of a previously recognized pattern of WNW-younging biotite cooling
ages from the Ruby Mountains. A simple model involving the propagation of
footwall uplift in the direction of tectonic transport beneath an initially
listric normal fault can explain the principle features of the Oligocene to
Miocene thermochronologic data set for the RM-EHR.

with recent geochemical, isotopic, geochronologic, and tectonic studies, to
DR2007254
better understand the processes that formed the intrusive rocks and related ore
deposits of the Colorado mineral belt CMB. The data helped to 1 document the
temporal and spatial evolution of magmatic activity along the CMB, 2 recognize
multiple igneous/mineralization events at individual centers, and 3 understand
the tectonic-magmatic processes that formed in igneous centers and mineral

MONOGRAPH TITLE: Timing and effect of detachment-related potassium metasomatism
on super 40 Ar/ super 39 Ar ages from the Windous Butte Formation, Grant Range,
Nevada
ABSTRACT: Whole-rock chemical analyses and super 40 Ar/ super 39 Ar
geochronologic data on mineral separates from correlative potassium-
metasomatized and unaltered ash-flow tuff from the Windous Butte Formation are
DR2007254
presented. The effect of potassium metasomatism, which commonly affects upper-

plate rocks at detachment faults in the Western United States, on rock chemistry
is well known. However, structural implications and conclusions regarding
thermal effects associated with this type of alteration on dates from these
altered upper-plate rocks was previously hampered by the the absence of data
from correlative, unaltered volcanic units. Results of this study indicate that
1 temperatures of the hydrothermal fluids that contributed the excess potassium
did not exceed the resetting temperature of biotite 280 degrees C, 2 alteration
of feldspars ranges from incipient to pervasive, and 3 the detachment-fault
conduit was closed to hydrothermal circulation at 20 Ma in the Grant Range.
Detachment in the Grant Range is, therefore, bracketed between 31 Ma, the
regional age of the Windous Butte Formation, and 20 Ma, the age of adularia
introduced during detachment-related potassium metasomatism.

ABSTRACT: super 40 Ar/ super 39 Ar ages of single sanidine, biotite,
andplagioclase crystals were obtained from eighteen samples of
rhyoliticintrusives, tuffs, and ash-flow tuffs from southwestern Montana.
Thesevolcanic rocks are part of a thick volcanic sequence in severaltopographic
basins and in adjacent highlands. The analyses show thatthe volcanic rocks were
emplaced between about 48.76+ or -0.17 Ma and45.04+ or -13 Ma and are temporally
correlative with the EoceneChallis Volcanic Group of central Idaho.

ABSTRACT: We present new field, structural, petrographic, and geochronologic
data on a rare midcrustal (?25 km) exposure of a Cordilleran arc, the Coast
Ridge Belt, located in the Santa Lucia Mountains of central California. The
DR2007254
study area is composed primarily of a deformed suite of upper amphibolite to

granulite facies rocks (the ?Sur Series?), which is dominated by metaigneous
tonalites, diorites, and gabbros with subordinate metasedimentary quartzite and
marble. Inherited zircons in magmatic rocks suggest that the provenance of
framework rocks is drawn heavily from miogeoclinal formations and that
sedimentation occurred in the late Paleozoic or later. Minor magmatism in the
Coast Ridge Belt began in the Early or Middle Cretaceous, but magmatic activity
was most intense during a short period time from 93 to 81 Ma, based on U-Pb
zircon ages of a felsic gneiss and two less-deformed diorites. The time period
93?81 Ma also brackets a period of extensive thickening and high-temperature
ductile deformation. While a thrusting cause for ductile deformation cannot be
ruled out, we favor the hypothesis that the exposed rocks correspond to a zone
of return flow of supracrustal rocks locally displaced by granitoid plutons in
the shallower crust. Magmatism ended throughout Salinia between 81 and 76 Ma,
coincident with the attainment of peak pressure and temperature conditions of
0.75 GPa and 800°C. Exhumation followed immediately, bringing the Coast Ridge
Belt to the surface within 8 My at a rate of at least 2?3 mm/yr. Exhumation was
coincident with an episode of extensional collapse that has been documented
elsewhere in the southern California arc during the early Laramide orogeny and
that may be related to underthrusting of the forearc at that time.

ABSTRACT: [1] The Coast Ridge Belt (CRB, Santa Lucia Mts., central California)
comprises mid-crustal rocks (750-800degreesC and 0.8 GPa) of the California
magmatic arc. We estimated the bulk composition of the CRB and converted our
results to seismic velocities expected at the observed pressures and
temperatures. The bulk composition of this arc section changes abruptly at 25 km
depth from a granodiorite to a quartz-diorite or diorite. These data are in
agreement with results from other Cordilleran batholiths suggesting 1.5 to 2
DR2007254
times thicker felsic columns than interpreted for modern continental arcs, and a
relatively sharp transition from a felsic upper crustal batholith, and a mafic
deep crust. This implied rheological boundary may have significant implications
for intracrustal faulting or convective removal of the roots of batholiths.

ABSTRACT: Granitic plutonism and extension are broadly contemporaneous in
manymetamorphic core complexes. However, the relationship betweenmagmatism and
extension is rarely unambiguous. The northern Idahobatholith (Idaho-Bitterroot
batholith), Montana and Idaho, composesthe footwall for most of the Bitterroot
metamorphic core complex andthus is an ideal area for assessing the
relationships betweenmagmatism and extension. We analyzed zircon from six
samples ofgranitic rock from the Idaho-Bitterroot batholith using the SHRIMP(II)
ion microprobe. Three samples of mylonitic granite from the BearCreek pluton,
Lost Horse Canyon, give a weighted mean (super 206) Pb/(super 238) U age of
54.3+ or -0.7 Ma. A protomylonitic granite fromthe central part of the
Bitterroot core complex (also Bear Creekpluton) gives a similar (super 206) Pb/
(super 238) U age of 54.6+ or-0.8 Ma. Mylonitic megacrystic granite from
Sweathouse Canyon yieldsan age of 63.6+ or -0.6 Ma. A granite sample from the
Lochsa Canyon,in the central Idaho-Bitterroot batholith, gives an age of 56.7+
or-1.0 Ma. Inherited zircon from the granitoids ranges in age from 800to 1820
Ma, but the majority of grains have formation ages of1750-1800 Ma. This suggests
that Paleoproterozoic crust dominates thesource region of the Idaho-Bitterroot
batholith. Hornblende (super 40)Ar- (super 39) Ar age spectra for mafic dikes
intruded duringlate-stage crystallization of main-phase granite in the
centralIdaho-Bitterroot batholith suggest crystallization of the main-
DR2007254
phaseplutons in this area at ca. 57 Ma. New and previously published (super40)
Ar- (super 39) Ar and K-Ar apparent ages of biotite and muscovitefrom the Lochsa
River area and the western and central Bitterroot corecomplex are 50 to 47 Ma.
Younger mica ages (46-43 Ma) are restrictedto the vicinity of the Bitterroot
mylonite zone. These resultsindicate that the cessation of main-phase magmatism
within theBitterroot metamorphic core complex migrated east with time, and
thatmost of the plutons in the core complex were intruded during thePaleocene
and early Eocene. When the regional tectonic setting changedfrom compression to
extension at ca. 50 Ma, the late stages ofmid-crustal, peraluminous plutonism
appear to have been localizedwithin the Bitterroot core complex. The presence of
the youngestmid-crustal plutons in this area may have focused
extensionaldeformation leading to the thick mylonite zone, as a consequence
ofrheological contrasts with cooler areas to the east and west. Aprogression of
K-Ar and (super 40) Ar- (super 39) Ar cooling ages fromwest to east within the
core complex part of the batholith isconsistent with top-to-the-east shear
indicators in the mylonite zone.Thermochronology indicates that the western part
of the Bitterrootmetamorphic core complex was below nearly equal 350 degrees C
at thesame time as the last stage of granite emplacement and metamorphism inthe
east. Therefore, the transition from mylonitization to brittledeformation to
inactivity of the shear zone was progressive from westto east across the core
complex from ca. 50 to 44 Ma. These featuresoffer an explanation for the
previously enigmatic occurrence ofamphibolite facies ductile deformation in the
eastern part of the corecomplex coincident with emplacement of epizonal, alkali-
feldspargranite plutons along the western side of the complex.

ABSTRACT: The ages of biotite and/or hornblende separates from 26 plutons in the
eastern and southern Sierra Nevada Batholith were determined by the K-Ar method.
Many biotite ages are too young and indicate argon loss by reheating. Most of
the dated plutons were emplaced in Late Cretaceous time at the culmination of
magmatic activity in the Sierra Nevada.

ABSTRACT: Davidson, Guide, Pioneer, Gumdrop, and Rodriguez Seamounts, located at
the continental margin offshore California between latitudes 37.5 degrees N and
34.0 degrees N, may represent a previously unrecognized type of intraplate
oceanic volcanism. Morphologically unlike typical oceanic-island volcanoes or
near-ridge seamounts, they are complex, northeast-trending ridges that reflect
the ridge-parallel structure of the underlying oceanic crust. (super 40) Ar/
(super 39) Ar laser fusion ages of mineral separates indicate at least two
episodes of volcanism at ca. 16 and ca. 12 Ma, younger by 7-11 m.y. than the
underlying ocean crust. Volcanic rocks are predominantly differentiated alkalic
basalt, hawaiite, and mugearite. The lack of coherent liquid-lines-of-descent is
consistent with small batches of magma forming, fractionally crystallizing, and
erupting in isolation from the previous and subsequent batches. The presence of
mantle xenoliths suggests that magmas originated in the upper mantle. Xenoliths
of alkalic cumulates and xenocrysts of feldspar, amphibole, and titanomagnetite
are consistent with fractionation in the upper mantle as well. Sr, Nd, and Pb
isotope ratios of some samples are from depleted-mantle sources like those of
MORB (mid-oceanic-ridge basalt); others indicate more variably enriched mantle
sources. Magmas formed by small-percentage partial melting of variably enriched
MORB-source-type mantle, according to the samples' high abundances of
incompatible elements such as Nb, Ta, and Th. Coeval middle Miocene basalts in
onshore coastal California have a similar isotopic range, but their trace
elements show a subduction-related signature. If the coeval volcanic rocks
offshore originated in a slab window, as proposed for those onshore, they were
not influenced by a slab component. Although a slab-window origin is plausible
for the middle Miocene volcanism, later episodes of small, sporadic eruptions
on- and offshore probably resulted from decompression melting of mantle rising
along existing zones of weakness undergoing extension related to continued
movement along transform-fault systems.

ABSTRACT: Clastic sedimentary deposits and associated volcanic rocks record the
progress of Tertiary extension in the Mexican state of Sonora. These deposits
accumulated within basins located throughout the eastern two-thirds of the
state. The rocks are slightly indurated conglomerates and sandstones; clast
types reflect the local highland exposures. Volcanic units that bound and are
interlayered with the sedimentary rocks provide stratigraphic and time markers
of basin evolution and, by inference, of marginal fault development. This record
has been examined in an east-west belt across south-central Sonora. The volcanic
rocks occur in three distinct associations. At the base and interbedded within
the lower portions of the sedimentary sections are lava flows of dominantly
basaltic andesite composition. In most localities the overlying clastic
sedimentary strata are conformable with these lava flows, and we conclude that
the magmatism was triggered by early faulting along the basin margins. A second
association present near the base of the sections comprises massive lava domes
and flows of intermediate composition that contain distinctive phenocrysts of
dark brown amphibole. The domes apparently formed when viscous lava welled up
along developing marginal basin faults. In one case a transition was observed
over a short distance from a structureless dome to a thick lava flow that is
conformably interbedded with, and sheds clasts laterally into, the sedimentary
section. A third volcanic association comprises layers of rhyolitic lava flows
and ignimbrites that overlie the coarsest and thickest lower portions of the
sedimentary sections. K-Ar ages for volcanic rocks in the two oldest of these
settings indicate that each Tertiary basin had a distinct history with no
apparent regional geographic pattern. In the Rio Yaqui basin, where exhumation
by the major river of Sonora has exposed a full section of the volcanic and
clastic sequences, extension was possibly as old as 27 Ma. Elsewhere, deposition
of sediments was underway in most basins by 24 Ma, and in all basins by 20 Ma.
K-Ar ages of the younger rhyolitic volcanic rocks fall within a narrow range
from 12.8 to 10.5 Ma. These ages provide a younger time limit to deposition of
the coarser and thicker portions of the clastic sedimentary sections. The mafic
lava flows, dominantly basaltic andesite, are similar in major-element
composition to mafic lava flows that cap felsic sections within the Sierra Madre
Occidental volcanic field of western Mexico and the mid-Tertiary Datil-Mogollon
volcanic field in southwestern New Mexico. They are higher in silica and lower
in total alkalies than younger capping mafic lava flows within the Gulf of
California extensional province of western Sonora and Neogene basaltic lava
flows in the Datil-Mogollon field. They are similarly distinct from basaltic
DR2007254
dikes and lava flows that are clearly associated with Basin and Range faulting
in Trans-Pecos Texas and in northern Durango state. A convergent-margin magmatic
arc was active in the present-day Gulf of California region between 24 and 11.5
Ma. The earliest extension in south-central Sonora was therefore occurring in a
back-arc setting. Continued sedimentation and rotation of volcanic strata
indicate that extension continued throughout the region after 10 Ma with little
coeval volcanism.

DR2007254
ABSTRACT: The western Jurassic belt of the Klamath Mountains represents one
ofthe Earth's best-preserved exposures of ancient marginal ocean
basinlithosphere and chiefly consists of the coeval Rogue-Chetcovolcanic-
plutonic oceanic arc and Josephine ophiolite. This LateJurassic ocean basin is
hypothesized to have formed in response torifting that initiated at ca. 165 Ma
along the western margin of NorthAmerica, disrupting a Middle Jurassic arc that
had been constructed onolder Klamath terranes and forming a marginal ocean basin
with anactive arc, inter-arc basin, and remnant arc. Previous
workerscharacterized a rift-edge facies in the remnant-arc region. Thischapter
describes field, age, and geochemical data that suggest that asimilar rift-edge
facies exists in the vicinity of the active arc, onthe opposite side of the
marginal basin. The rift-edge facies in theactive arc setting consists of two
main lithotectonic units, hereinnamed informally as the Onion Camp complex and
Fiddler Mountainolistostrome. The Onion Camp complex is partly composed of
acharacteristic metabasalt and red chert association. Red chert yieldedscarce
radiolarians of Triassic(?) and Early Jurassic age. A distinctchert-pebble
conglomerate occurs at scarce localities withinmetasedimentary rocks.
Concordant, composite bodies of amphibolite andserpentinized peridotite
represent another distinctive feature of theOnion Camp complex. The metamorphic
and lithologic features of theOnion Camp complex are similar to the lower
melange unit of theRattlesnake Creek terrane, and the units are interpreted to
becorrelative. The Fiddler Mountain olistostrome is composed of LateJurassic
(Kimmeridgian?) pelagic and hemipelagic rocks interlayeredwith ophioliteclast
breccia and megabreccia, similar in character toolistostromal deposits
associated with the rift-edge facies of theremnant arc. The occurrence of the
Rattlesnake Creek terrane and anassociated olistostromal deposit within the
western Jurassic belt ofsouthwestern Oregon may therefore represent the rift-
edge facies inthe active arc setting, at the transition between the Rogue-Chetco
arcand Josephine ophiolite, further corroborating previous models for theLate
Jurassic tectonic evolution of the Klamath Mountains.

ABSTRACT: The Eocene Big Timber stock in the Crazy Mountains of south-
centralMontana is an elliptical, 8 by 13 km, compositionally and
texturallydiverse composite intrusion with a well-developed radial dike swarm.
Asharp intrusive contact separates its two phases: the core of theintrusion is
fine-grained quartz monzodiorite, and the volumetricallydominant remainder is
composed of medium-grained diorite and gabbro.Differentiation-related major
oxide variation within the stock isextensive and spatially nonsystematic.
However, abundances of mosttrace elements were not strongly influenced by
differentiation; latezircon and apatite fractionation caused moderate heavy and
slightlight rare earth element abundance depletions, respectively.
Mineralcompositions and assemblages indicate crystallization between nearlyequal
950 and 700 degrees C at a pressure of nearly equal 0.8 kbar (3km). Mixing
models indicate that fractionation of varying amounts ofplagioclase,
orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, magnesio-hastingsite,hornblende, biotite,
titanite, apatite, and magnetite (the stock'sprincipal constituents, with quartz
and potassium feldspar) andremixing of these minerals and residual liquids
controlledcompositional evolution in the reservoir. Crystals apparentlynucleated
at the reservoir wall while residual silicate liquid wasdisplaced inward and
remixed. Some crystals were plucked from thesolidification front, as indicated
DR2007254
by glomerocrysts present throughoutthe stock, and also remixed with residual

liquid. Solidification ofthe reservoir represented by the stock involved heat
loss to enclosingwall rock, side-wall crystallization, and subsequent,
variablyeffective, crystal-liquid remixing. This process is an importantvariant
of conventionally invoked models pertaining to solidificationof intrusions and
explains extensive, relatively nonsystematiccompositional variation. The genesis
of compositional evolution inother intrusions characterized by extensive,
spatially nonsystematicvariation may result from the important process
documented herein.Compositional and geologic relationships are consistent with
magmagenesis related to subduction and magmatic-arc processes inboard fromthe
western edge of the early Cenozoic North American plate. Arcmagmatism in south-
central Montana during Eocene time is consistentwith models pertaining to early
Cenozoic southward sweep and westwardretreat of magmatism. Magmatism represented
by the Big Timber stockprovides significant new support for steepening
subduction, westwardretreat of the subduction hinge line, and development of
anasthenospheric mantle wedge that fueled renewed magmatism beneath thewestern
edge of the North American continent following early Cenozoicshallow subduction.

ABSTRACT: The Carlin trend contains the largest concentration of Carlin-type
gold deposits in the world. Two major controversies about these giant gold
deposits have been their age, which is now firmly established as Eocene, and the
source of heat, fluids, and metals, which remains debated. We present data that
demonstrate an intense period of Eocene magmatism coincided in time and space
with deposit formation and was arguably the primary heat source. Geologic
studies over the last 40 years have emphasized the stratigraphy and structure of
Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, which are the major ore hosts. However, four
igneous episodes affected the Carlin trend, in the Jurassic, Cretaceous, Eocene,
and Miocene. A Jurassic diorite-granodiorite laccolith and related dikes were
DR2007254
emplaced at about 158 Ma in the northern Carlin trend. A Cretaceous granite

intruded the north-central part of the trend at 112 Ma. Abundant Eocene dikes
intruded along most of the trend and were accompanied by lavas in a large
volcanic field along the southwest edge of the trend between approximately 40
and 36 Ma. Miocene rhyolite lavas erupted just west of and across the southern
part of the trend at approximately 15 Ma. Exposed Eocene rocks consist
predominantly of silicic to intermediate dikes, lavas, and epizonal intrusions,
which we interpret to be sourced from a large Eocene plutonic complex underlying
the Carlin trend. Eocene dikes are present in most deposits, are generally
altered, but, with a few exceptions, were poor ore hosts. Distinct Eocene
igneous suites, which are restricted to specific areas of the trend, are from
north to south

ABSTRACT: Mesozoic ophiolites in the Vizcaino Peninsula and Cedros Island region
of Baja California Sur are suprasubduction zone Cordilleran-type ophiolites
structurally juxtaposed with underlying high pressure-temperature subduction
complex assemblages. The region is divided into three separate
tectonostratigraphic terranes, but here we recognize stratigraphic, intrusive,
and petrologic links between these terranes and interpret the evolution of the
entire region within the same Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous tectonic
framework. Several phases of extension are recognized, including two major
phases that resulted in development of distinct ophiolite assemblages. The Late
Triassic Vizcaino Peninsula Ophiolite (221+ or -2 Ma) represents the earliest
stage of this history and comprises a complete spreading center sequence with
depleted upper mantle and mafic crustal rocks, including sheeted dike complex.
Jurassic arc magmatic rocks with low-Ti arc tholeiite and boninite geochemical
affinities were intruded through and constructed on the Triassic ophiolite
basement. Ultra-depleted arc-ankaramites on Cedros Island may represent an
initial phase of arc rifting that was followed by major Middle Jurassic
extension and production of the Cedros Island Ophiolite (173+ or -2 Ma). The
Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Coloradito and Eugenia Formations contain
mudflows and olistostrome blocks intercalated with arc volcanogenic sediment and
rift-related pillow lavas; these units record extension and/or transtension and
provide the earliest definite evidence of arc-continent interaction in the
region. Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous arc plutonic rocks (ca. 165-135 Ma)
were shallowly intruded into low greenschist-facies ophiolite and arc volcanic
basement. Plutonic rocks range in composition from gabbro to granodiorite, but
tonalite dominates. These intrusions are typical I-type Cordilleran batholithic
rocks with relatively primitive arc geochemical affinities (initial (super 87)
Sr/ (super 86) Sr range from approximately 0.704 to 0.706),but they are
distinctly calcic in nature, a feature common to the adjacent Cretaceous
Peninsular Ranges batholith. The Vizcaino-Cedros region correlates to ophiolitic
terranes of the western Sierra-Klamath belt and Coast Ranges of California and
Oregon that were constructed in part across the North American margin. Age,
stratigraphic, and petrochemical data from the Vizcaino-Cedros region support
previously proposed forearc rifting models developed for the U.S. sector of the
Cordilleran orogen that interpret the ophiolite assemblages as autochthonous or
parautochthonous forearc lithosphere constructed outboard of the Mesozoic
continental margin arc.

ABSTRACT: Biotite and K-feldspar (super 40) Ar/ (super 39) Ar systems from the
east-central Peninsular Ranges batholith near 33 degrees N were affected by two
distinct phases of Late Cretaceous rapid cooling. The 85-Ma biotite K-Ar
isochron separates comparatively shallow rocks in the southwest that record
earlier cooling (91-86 Ma) from deeper rocks in the northeast that record later
cooling (78-68 Ma). Samples close to 85 Ma isochron record both episodes of
rapid cooling as well as slower cooling between 86 and 78 Ma. Although the 85 Ma
isochron also coincides with a steep (1-2 m.y./km) K-Ar age gradient, only
localized faulting has been detected along it. We attribute 91-86 Ma cooling to
denudation related to emplacement of the voluminous suite of 96+ or -3 Ma La
Posta plutons. In contrast, we link cooling after 78 Ma to Laramide shallow
subduction beneath the Peninsular Ranges batholith. Our numerical simulations
indicate that the latter cooling phase can be explained by either pure erosional
denudation or by subduction refrigeration beginning at 80 Ma. In the latter
case, erosional denudation occurs during steady-state shallow subduction. While
final erosion depths predicted by the two models differ significantly (as much
as 20 km for pure erosional denudation but only 11 km for subduction
refrigeration followed by erosion), both are within the range indicated by
independent thermobarometry of the eastern batholith. Based upon the similarity
of independently determined denudation histories from Peninsular Ranges
DR2007254
batholith basement rocks and forearc sediments that onlap the northern
Peninsular Ranges batholith, we conclude that erosional denudation was probably
the most important process between 78 and 68 Ma. We speculate that removal of
lower crust and lithospheric mantle beneath the east-central Peninsular Ranges
batholith during Laramide shallow subduction triggered erosional denudation and
localized thrusting until the density balance between the crust and mantle was
restored in latest Cretaceous-early Tertiary time.

ABSTRACT: The Long Valley Volcanic Field in east-central California straddles
the East Sierran frontal fault zone, overlapping the Sierra Nevada and western
Basin and Range Provinces. Long Valley volcanism began about 4 Ma during
Pliocene time and has continued intermittently through the Holocene. The current
(post-1980) seismic unrest at Long Valley, accompanied by uplift of the
resurgent dome, may signal the onset of a new episode of regional extension and
basalt injection into the residual magma chamber.

ABSTRACT: One of the major processes for removal bacteria from seeping water
during soil passage is adsorption. Microcosm study was carried out on 8
ferralitic soil horizons (H (sub 1) -H (sub 8) ) separating the soil surface
from the underground water table, in the equatorial region in Cameroon. It aimed
in assess the soil particles adsorption potentials for S. faecalis. It resulted
that bacterial sorption on soil particles occurs swiftly during the first 30
minutes of incubation of aqueous medium containing bacteria and soil particles.
By application of Freundlich isotherms, it is noted that soil horizons
adsorption coefficient which is a measure of the adsorption capacity vary from 3
to 27632 adsorbed cells.mg (super -1) of soil particles. Although no gradient of
adsorption potential has been observed amongst horizons, the adsorption is
relatively weak at horizons H (sub 4) and H (sub 5) which are located near the
middle of soil column. The adsorption is relatively pronounced at the upper
horizon H (sub 3) and the deeper horizon H (sub 7) . The linearity coefficient
inversely proportional to the adsorption intensity vary from 0,4483 to 2,2123
with greatest values related to horizons H (sub 2) to H (sub 5) , and lowest
values related to horizons H (sub 7) and H (sub 8) . The variability of soil
horizon adsorption potentials would be due to the variability of bacterial
fixation sites properties located at soil particle surfaces. It seems convenient
to carry out other experiments with several cell species together in order to
predict the interactions nature among bacterial cells for the attach sites or
group of sites on soil surface particles.

ABSTRACT: Jurassic and Early Cretaceous plutons in the Klamath Mountains
province of California and Oregon were intruded both before and after thrusting
during the Nevadan orogeny (ca. 155-148 Ma). Plutons intruded before Nevadan
thrusting range from calc-alkalic to calcic and display a range of compositions
that changes consistently with time. Among this group, Rb, K (sub 2) O, and
initial (super 87) Sr/ (super 86) Sr (Sr (sub i) ; range 0.7034 to 0.7047)
decrease and epsilon Nd (range 2.0 to 4.8) increases in younger plutons. Within
individual plutons, Sr (sub i) varies considerably, whereas epsilon Nd is nearly
constant. The Sr and Nd isotopic data typically plot to the right of the mantle
array. delta (super 18) O values in these plutons are greater than +8 per mil.
Tonalitic and trondhjemitic plutons intruded after Nevadan thrusting are
typically calcic, contain low Rb and K (sub 2) O contents, and have delta (super
18) O less than +8 per mil. These plutons have a narrow range of Sr (sub i)
(0.7033-0.7036) and epsilon Nd (4.7 to 7.4); values that plot in the mantle
array. The isotopic compositions of the pre-Nevadan plutons requires
assimilation of metasedimentary rocks or mixing with crustal melts at deep-
crustal levels. The deep-crustal component is not exposed in the province and
was presumably truncated during Nevadan thrusting. Post-Nevadan plutons show
little evidence of assimilation of metasedimentary crust but display trace-
element evidence (low K (sub 2) O, Rb, and rare-earth element concentrations)
consistent with an origin by partial melting of young ophiolitic rocks
underthrust during the Nevadan orogeny.

MONOGRAPH TITLE: Geochemical characteristics and magma evolution of the
Whitehorn Stock, Chaffee, Fremont and Park counties, Colorado
ORGANIZATION: Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO, United States (USA)
ABSTRACT: The major objectives of this study were to investigate the geology and
geochemical characteristics of the Whitehorn stock in order to evaluate its
evolution and origin. The study included detailed mapping of the stock and
petrographic and geochemical analyses of collected samples. The information was
used to constrain models for magma emplacement and evolution and to speculate
about magma genesis. The Whitehorn stock is situated at the southern end of the
Mosquito Range, northeast of Salida, in central Colorado and comprises two main
intrusive bodies (named the northern and the southern) and three small satellite
bodies. The main bodies are roughly elongate in a northwest-southeast direction,
parallel to fold axes of Paleozoic country-rocks and are separated from each
other by a paleovalley. The potassium-argon ages from biotite, 66.0+ or -1.7 to
70.8+ or -2.1 million years, indicate that the intrusion was emplaced during the
Late Cretaceous (early Maestrichtian), coincident with early stages of Laramide
tectonics. The Whitehorn Stock was originally intruded as a concordant,
lenticular-shape laccolith. Shape, foliation, and internal contacts of the
intrusion suggest that the Whitehorn Stock is a diapiric intrusion formed by
emplacement of multiple pulses of magma rather than as a single injection. The
compositional variation (gross zoning) within the Whitehorn Stock was produced
by a combination of both in situ fractionation and injection of multiple pulses
of magma. The Whitehorn Stock can be classified as a high-K calc-alkaline, I-
type granitoid intrusion system. Compositions based on modal mineralogy in the
Whitehorn stock and its satellite bodies range from granite to syenogabbro. The
main body, which is mostly of granodioritic composition, is fine to medium
grained and medium gray in color. Xenoliths of hornfels and carbonates are
commonly found in the outer part of the northern body. Dark green hornblende
xenocrysts are common in the southern body. Inclusions of more mafic composition
are found throughout both the northern and southern bodies. Three physically
distinguishable units occur in the northern body, including a mafic, a diorite-
granodiorite, and a granite unit. Rocks of the mafic unit are only exposed on a
small hill near the Marble Quarry. The diorite-granodiorite unit is most
DR2007254
abundant, making up most of the main body, and the granite unit is present
mainly in the central area of the northern body. The body has a gross
compositional zonation from more mafic towards the stock's margin to more felsic
in the interior. The northern body is strongly foliated at its margin, but
unfoliated in its interior. The southern body contains two units, the
granodiorite-monzonite porphyry (termed Subgroup I based on chemical
composition) and the granodiorite (termed Subgroup II based on chemical
composition), which are physically and chemically distinct. Typical rock
compositions of this body range from quartz-monzodiorite to granodiorite and
foliation is only rarely observed. Compositional trends in the northern body
show smoothly decreasing Fe (sub 2) O (sub 3) (super t) , MgO, CaO, TiO (sub 2)
, P (sub 2) O (sub 5) and MnO with increasing SiO (sub 2) , and smoothly
increasing Na (sub 2) O, K (sub 2) O and BaO with increasing SiO (sub 2) .
Trends in the southern body are similar but with inflections in the slope of Fe
(sub 2) O (sub 3) (super t) , MgO, TiO (sub 2) , and P (sub 2) O (sub 5) vs. SiO
(sub 2) . At about 60 wt.% SiO (sub 2) , the Na (sub 2) O vs. SiO (sub 2) trend
for the southern body splits into two separate increasing trends with different
slopes. The increasing K (sub 2) O vs. SiO (sub 2) trend splits into two trends
as well, one increasing parallel to that observed for the northern body, the
other decreasing. In the northern body Rb increases with increasing SiO (sub 2)
, but in the southern body two separate decreasing trends are apparent.
Comparatively, the northern body and subgroup II of the southern bo

ABSTRACT: The Peninsular Ranges batholith of southern California and Baja
California, Mexico, is well recognized as a prime example of an I-type
Cretaceous batholith. Often overlooked, however, is a volumetrically significant
amount of pre-Cretaceous gneissic granite in the axial zone of the batholith.
New U-Pb zircon age data confirm that the metaluminous and peraluminous plutonic
bodies were emplaced during the middle Jurassic. Also reported in this paper is
a Jurassic U-Pb age for a metaluminous (I-type) tonalite-quartz diorite pluton
that is spatially related to the peraluminous suites. This result suggests that
other unrecognized Jurassic I-type plutons may also be present in the batholith.
Within San Diego County, Todd and Shaw (1985) recognized and mapped two suites
DR2007254
of strongly deformed gneissic granites and migmatites. One is peraluminous

(Harper Creek suite) while the other is transitional between metaluminous and
peraluminous (Cuyamaca Reservoir suite). These rocks bear a striking resemblance
to deformed and, in places, migmatitic, peraluminous (S-type) examples from the
Lachlan fold belt and New England batholith of eastern Australia. The gneissic
granite suites are known to extend north along the axial zone of the Peninsular
Ranges batholith and cover an area at least 45 km wide by 150 km long. To the
south, rocks of similar type are known to extend into Baja California, Mexico,
for at least 300 km. Chemical and isotopic studies of these Jurassic suites
confirm that they meet the criteria necessary to define them as S-type and
transitional I- to S-type, respectively. However, unlike the majority of Lachlan
fold belt S-type granites that are high level and often associated with their
volcanic equivalents, the Peninsular Ranges batholith suites were emplaced at
much deeper levels, possibly as much as 11-16 km. The Harper Creek suite, of S-
type gneissic granodiorite-tonalite plutons and associated Stephenson Peak
migmatitic schist and gneiss facies, is strongly peraluminous and contains
biotite, cordierite, sillimanite, abundant graphite, and ilmenite. It has
elevated delta (super 18) O up to +20 per mil, initial (super 87) Sr/ (super 86)
Sr ratios (Sr (sub i) ) to 0.713, a high aluminum saturation index, and Na (sub
2) O/K (sub 2) O ratios that overlap those of the Lachlan fold belt S-type
granites. The Cuyamaca Reservoir suite contains gneissic granodiorite-tonalite
plutons, transitional between metaluminous and moderately peraluminous (I-to S-
type), containing reduced biotite, subaluminous amphibole, orthopyroxene,
titanite and ilmenite. It has values of delta (super 18) O and Sr (sub i)
greater than the Cretaceous I-type granites but less than the Harper Creek
suite. Leucosome melt phase accumulation from the Julian Schist diatexites to
produce a restite-rich magma is considered the most likely origin for the Harper
Creek suite. For the Cuyamaca Reservoir suite, possible source components
include young mantle-derived magma, metaigneous and metasedimentary rocks formed
in an arc environment, and evolved basinal fill metasedimentary rocks. The
evolved metasedimentary component may be of Julian type. The Harper Creek and
Cuyamaca Reservoir suites comprise deformed, steepwalled, north-northwest-
trending bodies up to 20 km long and with length-to-width ratios of 4:1.
Textures range from strongly foliated to gneissic or mylonitic. Internal
foliation that strikes parallel to the long dimension of the bodies and dips
steeply to the east is defined by alignment of relict magmatic feldspar and
quartz grains and recrystallized aggregates of quartz and biotite. The
concordance of magmatic and subsolidus foliations in the Jurassic plutons and
the continuity of these structures with regionally developed metamorphic fabrics
in their wallrocks indicate that magmatic foliation was overprinted by high-
temperature, post-magmatic solid-state foliation. Foliation in the Harper Creek
and Cuyamaca Reservoir suites is concordant with the axial pla

ABSTRACT: The geologic setting of the intrusive rocks between lat 39 degrees
52'30 and 40 degrees 07'30 N that are 70 m.y. old to 44 m.y. is collectively
described. Whole-rock chemistry and semiquantative spectrographic analyses for
each of the major intrusives and associated dikes are presented, and chemical
relations and trends within the individual stocks, between stocks, and between
stocks and associated dikes are shown graphically. Chemical trends for the
stocks, especially the more mafic Caribou and Audubon-Albion stocks, indicate a
common origin. The Caribou is the more mafic stock; the Audubon-Albion has the
greatest chemical variation of all the stocks.

ABSTRACT: The intrusive suite of Yosemite Valley provides an excellent example
of coeval mafic and felsic magmatism in a continental-margin arc. Within the
suite, hornblende gabbros and diorites associated with the Cretaceous El Capitan
and Taft Granites occur as scattered mafic enclaves, enclave swarms, small pods,
synplutonic dikes, and a 2 km super 2 mafic complex known as the diorite of the
Rockslides. Field evidence suggests that most of the mafic rocks are temporally
related to the El Capitan Granite and that significantly less mafic magma
accompanied the slightly later intrusion of the Taft Granite. Concordant zircon
fractions from the diorite of the Rockslides yield an age of 103 + or - 0.15 Ma,
which is the same age as the El Capitan Granite. Initial isotopic compositions
of the mafic and felsic rocks are similar; the mafic rocks exhibit only slightly
higher super 87 Sr/ super 86 Sr, lower super 143 Nd/ super 144 Nd, and higher
super 206 Pb/ super 204 Pb ratios than the granites. Because the mafic magmas
are only slightly more isotopically evolved than the granites, geochemical
variation within the granites is not easily explained in terms of contamination
DR2007254
of a depleted-mantle component by partial melts of ancient, high-silica

continental crust. Rather, these data are consistent with an interpretation that
the El Capitan Granite was derived by partial melting of relatively young mafic
sources broadly similar to the mafic rocks of the suite.
