项目摘要

The goal of this project is to test the hypothesis that garnet-bearing amphibolites and pelitic schists from the northwest U.S. Cordillera preserve a record of late Mesoproterozoic high pressure metamorphism that can be attributed to significant crustal thickening along the western margin of Laurentia before or during the assembly of the supercontinent Rodinia. To this end a research team from Washington State University, West Virginia University, and University of Idaho are undertaking an integrated geochronologic and metamorphic analysis of garnet-bearing metamorphic assemblages in the northwest U.S. Cordillera in order to: 1) determine the ages of metamorphism using Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd geochronology of garnets and U-Th-Pb geochronology of monazites in order to determine the extent of Proterozoic metamorphism throughout the northwest U.S. Cordillera; 2) establish the pressure-temperature conditions of mineral growth in these metamorphic assemblages; 3) compare the results from the garnet and monazite chronometers and integrate this information with the metamorphic fabrics using detailed petrography; and 4) link both the geochronologic and pressure-temperature information to the penetrative deformational fabrics preserved in the rocks. Establishment of a linkage between late Mesoproterozoic metamorphism and the high temperature, high-pressure assemblages that exist in these rocks over a considerable area will show that a major period of crustal thickening during convergent tectonism occurred on the western margin of Laurentia at the end of the Mesoproterozoic. The presence of an approximately one billion year old contractional belt in the northwestern U.S., if confirmed, would imply that the history of metamorphism and deformation in the Cordillera is more complicated than previously appreciated. These results would provide important piercing points for late Mesoproterozoic tectonic reconstructions. In particular, results of this project will provide additional constraints on correlations of western Laurentia with other cratonal fragments such as Australia, Siberia, Antarctica, and China and will ultimately impact various reconstructions of Rodinia.The Grenville orogeny was an important event that substantially modified the North American continent approximately one billion years ago. The metamorphic rocks produced in this event can be found in wide belt that extends from eastern Canada to southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. Preliminary geochronological data yielded the unexpected result that metamorphism of this age also occurred in the northwestern U.S. To confirm these data, this project is using new geochronological methods to determine the ages of minerals that are commonly produced during the metamorphism that occurs during mountain belt formation. If the preliminary results are born out, current understanding of the nature of the Grenville event will require revision. Evidence for a billion year old metamorphic event in the northwest U.S. would also require modification of current ideas about the configuration of continents at that time.
该项目的目标是检验假设,即来自美国西北部科迪勒拉的含石榴石斜长角闪岩和泥质片岩保留了中元古代晚期高压变质作用的记录,该高压变质作用可归因于超大陆Rodinia组装之前或期间沿劳伦大陆西缘沿着显著的地壳增厚。为此,来自华盛顿州立大学、西弗吉尼亚大学和爱达荷州大学的一个研究小组正在对美国西北部科迪勒拉山脉的含石榴石变质组合进行综合年代学和变质分析,以便:1)利用石榴石的Lu-Hf和Sm-Nd年代学和U-Th-Nd年代学确定变质作用的年龄;独居石的Pb年代学,以确定整个美国西北部科迪勒拉地区的元古代变质作用的范围:(2)建立这些变质组合中矿物生长的压力-温度条件; 3)比较石榴石和独居石计时器的结果,并利用详细的岩相学将这些信息与变质组构结合起来; 4)将地质年代学和压力-温度信息与岩石中保存的渗透变形组构联系起来。在中元古代晚期变质作用和这些岩石中存在的高温高压组合之间建立联系,将表明在中元古代末期劳伦大陆西缘发生会聚构造作用期间地壳增厚的主要时期。在美国西北部存在一个大约10亿年前的收缩带,如果得到证实,将意味着科迪勒拉山脉的变质和变形历史比以前认识到的要复杂得多。这些结果将为晚中元古代构造重建提供重要的切入点。特别是,这个项目的结果将提供额外的限制西部劳伦西亚的相关性,与其他大陆的片段,如澳大利亚,西伯利亚,南极洲,和中国,并最终将影响各种重建Rodinia.The格伦维尔orthopathy是一个重要的事件,大大改变了北美大陆约10亿年前。在加拿大东部至美国西南部和墨西哥北方的宽带中可以找到这次事件产生的变质岩。初步的地质年代学数据产生了意想不到的结果,即这个年龄的变质作用也发生在美国西北部。为了证实这些数据,该项目正在使用新的地质年代学方法来确定在山脉形成期间发生的变质作用期间通常产生的矿物的年龄。如果初步结果得到证实,目前对格伦维尔事件性质的理解将需要修改。美国西北部十亿年前的变质事件的证据也需要修改当时大陆配置的现有想法。
