This book was released on 2017 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Rock Mountain in central Wyoming exposes Paleoarchean to Neoarchean rocks of the Wyoming Province that preserve petrographic, geochemical, geothermobarometric, and geochronological information critical to understanding the processes by which terranes were formed and accreted to the southern Wyoming Province in Neoarchean time. Black Rock Mountain lies at the eastern end of the Sacawee Block, an area of Paleo- to Mesoarchean basement along the southern margin of the Beartooth Bighorn Magmatic Zone. Terranes of juvenile and evolved supracrustal rocks are interpreted to have been accreted to the Sacawee Block at ~2.65-2.63 Ga, prior to the intrusion of the undeformed Wyoming batholith at 2.62 Ga. Black Rock Mountain contains a complex series of rock packages separated by NE-SW trending, steeply-dipping shear zones. On the west end of the mountain, the ~2.86-2.83 Ga metasedimentary Barlow Gap Group is in depositional contact with the ~3.3 Ga Sacawee orthogneiss. Detrital zircon U-Pb ages from a quartzite between 2.91-3.66 Ga supports this previously determined depositional age. Metadacite and metabasalt and a biotite-rich unit with abundant enclaves of ~3.3 Ga orthogneiss exposed in the central part of the mountain are also interpreted to be part of the Barlow Gap Group. Interlayered metapelites and metagabbros are exposed on either side of this central metavolcanic unit, separated by shear zones. Their age is unconstrained. The ~3.4 Ga UC Ranch orthogneiss is exposed on the furthest east end of the mountain, and is separated from the adjacent metapelite and metagabbro package by a NE-SW trending shear zone. The interpretation of this study is that Black Rock Mountain contains several blocks of contrasting lithologies that were tectonically interleaved during Neoarchean deformation along the southern margin of the Wyoming Province. Metamorphism is amphibolite-grade with a staurolite-garnet-biotite schist recording pressures and temperatures of 3.8-4.5 kbar and 590-595°C and an andalusite-biotite-chlorite schist recording pressures and temperatures of 2-3 kbar and 520-580°C. An Fe-rich amphibolite records a similar temperature and higher pressure of 7.1 kbar. The large uncertainty on the pressure determination precludes the determination whether there are one or more metamorphic events recorded at Black Rock Mountain. U-Pb dating of monazite from micaceous schists, interpreted as formed by greenschist facies metasomatism, establishes a previously unrecognized fluid flow event at ~2.60 Ga. This event post-dates the intrusion of the 2.62 Ga Wyoming batholith, and appears to record the final Archean metamorphism in the Wyoming Province.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Condrey Mountain Schist (CMS) occupies a window through Late Triassic amphibolite facies melange in the north central Klamath Mountains in northern California and southwest Oregon. The schists owe their present level of exposure to a large structural dome centered on the Condrey Mountain Window. Transitional blueschist-greenschist facies assemblages are widespread in mafic schists in the structurally lowest levels of the window; structurally higher CMS near the window margins contains medium- to high-pressure greenschist facies parageneses. An 40Ar/39Ar crossite age indicates a late Middle Jurassic age of metamorphism. All subunits of the CMS contain evidence of progressive, polyphase deformational and metamorphic histories. The styles and geometries of minor structures in the central part of the window suggest that early folding and transposition was the result of noncoaxial deformation, and that rotational strains were replaced by irrotational flattening strains with time. Rotational strains were accompanied by the development of epidote-crossite assemblages and the growth of deerite in meta-ironstones; irrotational flattening strains were accompanied and followed by the growth of albite, actinolite, spessartine, and the Ba-silicate, cymrite. Pressure-temperature estimates, the relative ages of mineral growth and deformation, and strain geometries are consistent with, but not restricted to, a subduction zone environment. High shear strains may reflect descent and burial, whereas flattening and late, static mineral growth occur during uplift. Pressure-temperature estimates for the overlying CMS greenschists suggest temperatures similar to those in the central part of the window, but at slightly lower pressures. Thrusting of the overlying amphibolites at 150-156 Ma occurred while the amphibolites were above about 500°C. Stretching lineations indicate a movement vector of about N45W. Comparisons of the sequence and timing of metamorphic and structural events, radiometric ages, and movement directions during thrusting indicate the CMS does not represent an inlier of Klamath Western Jurassic Belt flysch but is instead an older, isolated thrust plate. Similarities with the age of metamorphism and plutonism in the overlying amphibolites suggest the two plates may be remnants of the same Middle Jurassic paired metamorphic belt.

This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its thickness of more than 15 km of strata, covering some 200,000 km2, the Belt basin displays one of the planet's largest, best-exposed, most accessible, and best-preserved sequences of Mesoproterozoic sedimentary and igneous rocks. This volume focuses on research into this world-class province; kindles ideas about this critical era of Earth evolution; and covers aspects of the basin from its paleontology, mineralogy, sedimentology, and stratigraphy to its magmatism, ore deposits, geophysics, and structural geology.
