Abstract:
AbstractThe Miocene–Quaternary Trans-Mexican Volcanic arc is thought to have grown southwards (i.e. trenchward) since the Pliocene. This theory is mainly supported by roughly N–S-directed polygenetic volcanic ranges along which volcanic activity migrates southwards with time. We investigated the eruptive history of one of these ranges, the Sierra Nevada (east boundary of Mexico City basin), by compiling literature ages and providing new K–Ar dates. Our K–Ar ages are the first ones for the northernmost Tláloc and Telapón volcanoes and for the ancestral Popocatépetl (Nexpayantla). The obtained ages reveal that the four stratovolcanoes forming the range worked contemporaneously during most of the Middle to Late Pleistocene. However, taking into account the onset of the volcanic activity, a southward migration is evidenced along the Sierra Nevada: volcanism initiated at its northern tip at least 1.8 Ma ago at Tláloc volcano, extended southwards 1 Ma ago with Iztaccíhuatl and appeared at its southern end 329 ka ago with the Nexpayantla cone. Such a migration would be most probably primarily driven by Cocos slab roll-back and steepening rather than by regional crustal tectonics, which played a secondary role by controlling the apparent alignment of the volcanoes.

Abstract:
This study reports new data on the petrography, total rock chemistry and U-Pb zircon geochronology of volcanic rocks of the La Quinta Formation that outcrop the western flank of the Perijá mountain range and the Cesar and La Guajira departments. The volcanic rocks consist of basaltic, andesitic, dacitic and rhyolitic lavas, and the volcaniclastic rocks consist of crystal-vitric and crystal-lithic tuffs and agglomerates of calc-alkaline affinity, formed in a continental margin arc setting. Geochronological data suggest that the La Quinta Formation was volcanically active for approximately 25 Ma, during which its composition varied from basaltic trachyandesites to rhyolites. U-Pb dating suggests that the volcanism began in approximately 191 Ma (Sinemurian age) and continued until approximately 164 Ma, with at least three periods of increased volcanic activity. The inherited zircons contain Triassic, Permian, Neoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic populations, indicating that this arc was emplaced on rocks of the Chibcha Terrane along the South American paleomargin and that it is part of the same arc that formed the Jurassic volcanic rocks of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Cocinas and San Lucas mountain ranges and the Upper Magdalena Valley.

Abstract:
Philip Thomas Tyson (1799–1877) toured privately through central California, from San Francisco through the Sierra Nevada foothills gold prospects in 1849, to assess their potential and the general geology of the region. He produced the first regional map with geologic notations and several rough topographic/geologic cross-sections. He described Coast Range basement rocks, now described as Franciscan Complex mélange and broken formation, the stratigraphic configuration of the Great Valley, and general geology of the Sierra Nevada foothills. He recognized that the older Coast Range and Sierran basement were deformed prior to recent volcanism and extensive terrestrial fluvial sedimentation, likely Neogene in age.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper presents a new synthesis for the late Cenozoic tectonic, paleogeographic, and geomorphologic evolution of the southern Sierra Nevada and adjacent eastern San Joaquin Basin. The southern Sierra Nevada and San Joaquin Basin contrast sharply, with the former constituting high-relief basement exposures and the latter constituting a Neogene marine basin with superposed low-relief uplifts actively forming along its margins. Nevertheless, we show that Neogene basinal conditions extended continuously eastward across much of the southern Sierra Nevada, and that during late Neogene–Quaternary time, the intra-Sierran basinal deposits were uplifted and fluvially reworked into the San Joaquin Basin. Early Neogene normal-sense growth faulting was widespread and instrumental in forming sediment accommodation spaces across the entire basinal system. Upon erosion of the intra-Sierran basinal deposits, structural relief that formed on the basement surface by the growth faults emerged as topographic relief. Such “weathered out” fossil fault scarps control much of the modern southern Sierra landscape. This Neogene high-angle fault system followed major Late Cretaceous basement structures that penetrated the crust and that formed in conjunction with partial loss of the region’s underlying mantle lithosphere. This left the region highly prone to surface faulting, volcanism, and surface uplift and/or subsidence transients during subsequent tectonic regimes. The effects of the early Neogene passage of the Mendocino Triple Junction were amplified as a result of the disrupted state of the region’s basement. This entailed widespread high-angle normal faulting, convecting mantle-sourced volcanism, and epeirogenic transients that were instrumental in sediment dispersal, deposition, and reworking patterns. Subsequent phases of epeirogenic deformation forced additional sediment reworking episodes across the southern Sierra Nevada–eastern San Joaquin Basin region during the late Miocene break-off and west tilt of the Sierra Nevada microplate and the Pliocene–Quaternary loss of the region’s residual mantle lithosphere that was left intact from the Late Cretaceous tectonic regime. These late Cenozoic events have left the high local-relief southern Sierra basement denuded of its Neogene basinal cover and emergent immediately adjacent to the eastern San Joaquin Basin and its eastern marginal uplift zone.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe arid climate of the Altiplano has preserved a volcanic history of ∼11 million years at the Aucanquilcha Volcanic Cluster (AVC), northern Chile, which is built on thick continental crust. The AVC has a systematic temporal, spatial, compositional and mineralogical development shared by other long-lived volcanic complexes, indicating a common pattern in continental magmatism with implications for the development of underlying plutonic complexes, that in turn create batholiths.The AVC is a ∼700-km2, Tertiary to Recent cluster of at least 19 volcanoes that have erupted andesite and dacite lavas (∼55 to 68 wt.% SiO2) and a small ash-flow tuff, totalling 327 ± 20 km3. Forty 40Ar/39Ar ages for the AVC range from 10·97 ± 0·35 to 0·24 ± 0·05 Ma and define three major 1·5 to 3 million-year pulses of volcanism followed by the present pulse expressed as Volcán Aucanquilcha. The first stage of activity (∼11–8 Ma, Alconcha Group) produced seven volcanoes and the 2-km3 Ujina ignimbrite and is a crudely bimodal suite of pyroxene andesite and dacite. After a possible two million year hiatus, the second stage of volcanism (∼6–4 Ma, Gordo Group) produced at least five volcanoes ranging from pyroxene andesite to dacite. The third stage (∼4–2 Ma, Polan Group) represents a voluminous pulse of activity, with eruption of at least another five volcanoes, broadly distributed in the centre of the AVC, and composed dominantly of biotite amphibole dacite; andesites at this stage occur as magmatic inclusions. The most recent activity (1 Ma to recent) is in the centre of the AVC at Volcán Aucanquilcha, a potentially active composite volcano made of biotite-amphibole dacite with andesite and dacite magmatic inclusions.These successive eruptive groups describe (1) a spatial pattern of volcanism from peripheral to central, (2) a corresponding change from compositionally diverse andesite-dacite volcanism to compositionally increasingly restricted and increasingly silicic dacite, (3) a change from early anhydrous mafic silicate assemblages (pyroxene dominant) to later biotite amphibole dacite, (4) an abrupt increase in eruption rate; and (5) the onset of pervasive hydrothermal alteration.The evolutionary succession of the 327-km3 AVC is similar to other long-lived intermediate volcanic complexes of very different volumes, e.g., eastern Nevada (thousands of km3, Gans et al. 1989; Grunder 1995), Yanacocha, Perú (tens of km3, Longo 2005), and the San Juan Volcanic System (tens of thousands of km3, Lipman 2007) and finds an analogue in the 10-m. y. history and incremental growth of the Cretaceous Tuolumne Intrusive Suite (Coleman et al. 2004; Glazner et al. 2004). The present authors interpret the AVC to reflect episodic sampling of the protracted and fitful development of an integrated and silicic middle to upper crustal magma reservoir over a period of at least 11 million years.

The Jarbidge Rhyolite of Elko County, Nevada, is approximately 26 mapped bodies of porphyritic rhyolite. Several of the bodies are truncated by the Idaho or Utah border, and extend into the states for an unknown distance. This study focuses on five bodies, the Mahoganies, two near Wild Horse Reservoir, the outcrop enclosing the Jarbidge Mountains, and one outcrop south of Wells. The study’s focus is providing field, petrography, geochemistry, oxygen isotope, and geochronology information about the five previously mentioned bodies. Physical volcanology encountered during this study indicates the sampled Jarbidge Rhyolite are effusive lava flows and domes that coalesced over the life of the volcanic system. First order approximations indicate that erupted products cover ~1,289 km2 and erupted material totals ~509 km3. Petrography indicates primary anhydrous mineral assemblages, assimilation of granitoid, possible assimilation of metamorphic rock and magma mixing of mafic and silicic bodies. Collectively, the Jarbidge Rhyolite lava flows sampled are compositionally restricted from rhyolite to high silica rhyolite and all samples demonstrate A-type magma characteristics. Compositions from different bodies overlap on Harker diagrams, and trace element ratios distinguish few flows from the other samples. Rare earth element patterns mimic one another, and incompatible trace element ratios overlap between bodies, likely indicating the presence of one large magma body. Oxygen isotope values for selected samples range 6.61-8.95%oVSMOW are coincident with normal igneous values. New 40Ar/39Ar geochronology indicates Jarbidge Rhyolite volcanism initiated ca. 16.7 Ma near Wild Horse Reservoir and was active at Bear Creek Summit ca.15.8 Ma. Local Steens Basalt, geochemistry, and Au-Ag mineralization indicate Jarbidge Rhyolite is similar to Middle Miocene silicic volcanics (e.g. Santa Rosa-Calico volcanic field) further west in the Oregon-Idaho-Nevada tristate region.

The Little Goose Creek area is located in Elko County, Nevada just south of the central Snake River Plain and in the northeastern Great Basin. During the Miocene, northeastern Nevada was characterized by volcanism as well as prevalent extension and basin development, including widespread occurrences of porphyritic quartz-phyric silicic lavas and domes (e.g., the Jarbidge Rhyolite), ash-flow tuffs, and basaltic volcanism. Recent workers (e.g., Colgan and Henry, 2010) have provided new constraints on the timing of extension in the northern Great Basin (U.S.A.) and indicate that much of it occurred in the mid-Miocene. Other recent work has provided new temporal and petrologic constraints on 16.1 to 15.0 Ma Jarbidge Rhyolite volcanism in the northern Great Basin west of our study area, and suggest that it is intimately linked (spatially and temporally) with the aforementioned extension. This study aims to: [1] understand the spatiotemporal link between the volcanism in the northeastern Nevada study area and potentially correlative volcanism regionally (e.g., Jarbidge Rhyolite and explosive deposits associated with the <13 Ma Bruneau-Jarbidge or Twin Falls eruptive centers); [2] determine if the sampled Jarbidge Rhyolite lavas are chemically similar to those in and around Jarbidge, Nevada. In the Goose Creek area, we report a new laser [superscript]40Ar/[superscript]39Ar age for sanidine of 13.6 ± 0.03 Ma for a crystal-poor rhyolite lava (Rock Springs Rhyolite) and a Jarbidge Rhyolite lava (13.827±0.021 Ma) as well as an age on Jarbidge Rhyolite in Wells, NV (15.249±0.040 Ma) and West Wendover, NV (13.686±0.034 Ma). These lava samples, as well as sampled ash-flow tuffs from the Goose Creek region, plot within the A-type field on discrimination diagrams. The ash-flow tuffs are younger than the Rock Springs Rhyolite based on stratigraphic relationships and are sourced from both the Twin Falls eruptive center as well as the Bruneau Jarbidge eruptive center of the central Snake River Plain based on geochemical analysis. Also, a sequence of basaltic lavas crop out in the Goose Creek drainage; these basalts have ~43 wt.% silica and are chemically similar to <8 Ma olivine tholeiite basalts that crop out to the north, along the southwestern side of the Cassia Mountains, Idaho. These results, field relationships, and prior geological mapping suggest that the lavas and ash-flow tuffs erupted into active extensional basins.

Abstract:

A geologic map was drafted of the northern Highland Range (1:24,000 scale), rock units defined, and samples of the volcanic units were obtained and analyzed to produce a representative suite of chemical analyses to characterize the range of geochemical variability. The style, relative timing, and orientation of faults and dikes, and the magnitude and variability of stratal tilting was examined to evaluate the structural and magmatic evolution of the northern Highland Range in the context of models for the Colorado River Extensional Corridor and Black Mountains accommodation zone. Methods involved field mapping of the range scale structure and geometry of faulting, structural interpretation, and geochemical analysis of ten representative samples by X-ray spectrometry. Structural data was interpreted with stereonets; geochemical whole rock, and major elemental data was analyzed by comparing elemental oxides; trace elemental data was analyzed by normalizing to chondrite concentrations. The northern Highland Range is a ca. 3,000 m-thick sequence of volcanic and volcaniclastic flows and breccias overlain by regionally extensive tuffs (Mt. Davis and Bridge Spring). Unique mineralogy, geochemistry and lithologic character of some units and volcanic vent facies, as well as the presence of domes and dikes feeding the extrusives argue for local derivation from a dome/stratocone volcanic complex that was mostly restricted to the northern Highland Range.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The Mount Diablo region has been located within a hypothesized persistent corridor for clastic sediment delivery to the central California continental margin over the past ~100 m.y. In this paper, we present new detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology and integrate it with previously established geologic and sedimentologic relationships to document how Late Cretaceous through Cenozoic trends in sandstone composition varied through time in response to changing tectonic environments and paleogeography. Petrographic composition and detrital zircon age distributions of Great Valley forearc stratigraphy demonstrate a transition from axial drainage of the Klamath Mountains to a dominantly transverse Sierra Nevada plutonic source throughout Late Cretaceous–early Paleogene time. The abrupt presence of significant pre-Permian and Late Cretaceous–early Paleogene zircon age components suggests an addition of extraregional sediment derived from the Idaho batholith region and Challis volcanic field into the northern forearc basin by early–middle Eocene time as a result of continental extension and unroofing. New data from the Upper Cenozoic strata in the East Bay region show a punctuated voluminous influx (&gt;30%) of middle Eocene–Miocene detrital zircon age populations that corresponds with westward migration and cessation of silicic ignimbrite eruptions in the Nevada caldera belt (ca. 43–40, 26–23 Ma). Delivery of extraregional sediment to central California diminished by early Miocene time as renewed erosion of the Sierra Nevada batholith and recycling of forearc strata were increasingly replaced by middle–late Miocene andesitic arc–derived sediment that was sourced from Ancestral Cascade volcanism (ca. 15–10 Ma) in the northern Sierra Nevada. Conversely, Cenozoic detrital zircon age distributions representative of the Mesozoic Sierra Nevada batholith and radiolarian chert and blueschist-facies lithics reflect sediment eroded from locally exhumed Mesozoic subduction complex and forearc basin strata. Intermingling of eastern- and western-derived provenance sources is consistent with uplift of the Coast Ranges and reversal of sediment transport associated with the late Miocene transpressive deformation along the Hayward and Calaveras faults. These provenance trends demonstrate a reorganization and expansion of the western continental drainage catchment in the California forearc during the late transition to flat-slab subduction of the Farallon plate, subsequent volcanism, and southwestward migration of the paleodrainage divide during slab rollback, and ultimately the cessation of convergent margin tectonics and initiation of the continental transform margin in north-central California.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The paleogeographic evolution of the western U.S. Great Basin from the Late Cretaceous to the Cenozoic is critical to understanding how the North American Cordillera at this latitude transitioned from Mesozoic shortening to Cenozoic extension. According to a widely applied model, Cenozoic extension was driven by collapse of elevated crust supported by crustal thicknesses that were potentially double the present ~30–35 km. This model is difficult to reconcile with more recent estimates of moderate regional extension (≤50%) and the discovery that most high-angle, Basin and Range faults slipped rapidly ca. 17 Ma, tens of millions of years after crustal thickening occurred. Here, we integrated new and existing geochronology and geologic mapping in the Elko area of northeast Nevada, one of the few places in the Great Basin with substantial exposures of Paleogene strata. We improved the age control for strata that have been targeted for studies of regional paleoelevation and paleoclimate across this critical time span. In addition, a regional compilation of the ages of material within a network of middle Cenozoic paleodrainages that developed across the Great Basin shows that the age of basal paleovalley fill decreases southward roughly synchronous with voluminous ignimbrite flareup volcanism that swept south across the region ca. 45–20 Ma. Integrating these data sets with the regional record of faulting, sedimentation, erosion, and magmatism, we suggest that volcanism was accompanied by an elevation increase that disrupted drainage systems and shifted the continental divide east into central Nevada from its Late Cretaceous location along the Sierra Nevada arc. The north-south Eocene–Oligocene drainage divide defined by mapping of paleovalleys may thus have evolved as a dynamic feature that propagated southward with magmatism. Despite some local faulting, the northern Great Basin became a vast, elevated volcanic tableland that persisted until dissection by Basin and Range faulting that began ca. 21–17 Ma. Based on this more detailed geologic framework, it is unlikely that Basin and Range extension was driven by Cretaceous crustal overthickening; rather, preexisting crustal structure was just one of several factors that that led to Basin and Range faulting after ca. 17 Ma—in addition to thermal weakening of the crust associated with Cenozoic magmatism, thermally supported elevation, and changing boundary conditions. Because these causal factors evolved long after crustal thickening ended, during final removal and fragmentation of the shallowly subducting Farallon slab, they are compatible with normal-thickness (~45–50 km) crust beneath the Great Basin prior to extension and do not require development of a strongly elevated, Altiplano-like region during Mesozoic shortening.

Abstract:
During the Middle Eocene through the Early Miocene, erosion of the Appalachian Mountains exceeded uplift and there was a net reduction in elevation. In the Rocky Mountains uplift continued through the Middle Eocene (end of the Laramide orogeny), waned in the Middle Tertiary, and then increased beginning at about 10 Ma. Earlier reconstructions placed paleoelevations in the Rocky Mountains during the Middle Eocene through the Early Miocene at approximately half the present relief. The maximum elevation in the Front Ranges during the latest Eocene was estimated at ~2500 m (~8000 ft; MacGinitie, 1953). Recent approximations are for nearly modern elevations in several areas by the Eocene-Oligocene. Extensive Eocene volcanism deposited ash and blocked drainage systems, augmenting uplift and facilitating the preservation of extensive fossil floras and faunas. In the far west the beginning of Tertiary volcanism in the Sierra Nevada is dated at ~ 33 Ma near the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. A drying trend becomes evident in the Middle Eocene and reduced moisture, along with the waning of volcanic activity in the Oligocene, restricted conditions favorable to fossilization. The number of Oligocene floras in the northern Rocky Mountains is considerably fewer than in younger deposits to the west. In the absence of extensive plate reorganization and orogeny, CO2 concentration decreased, which contributed to a temperature decline that continued through the Cenozoic and intensified in the Late Tertiary. Recall from Chapter 2 (sections on orogeny and volcanism) that uplift plays a role in determining long-term climate by creating rainshadows, altering atmospheric circulation patterns, and increasing the erosion of silicate rocks that causes a drawdown of CO2. This allows heat to escape from the troposphere and results in lower temperatures. Marine benthic temperatures were ~10°C in the early Late Eocene and ~2°C near the Eocene-Oligocene boundary, assuming an essentially ice-free Earth during that time, and increased to ~5-6°Cnear the end of the Early Miocene. Temperatures over land in the midnorthern latitudes are estimated to have dropped by ~12°C between the Late Eocene and Early Oligocene (Wolfe, 1992a).
