Contributing to understand how Cordilleran batholiths build from detailed geochronology of the Carboniferous Tabaquito batholith, Frontal Cordillera (Argentina)
Cordilleran Granitic batholiths or Andean/Cordilleran batholiths serve as plutonic expressions of continental arcs, offering valuable insights into the processes that operate in large silicic magmatic systems at subduction environments. This work presents a comprehensive geochronological study of the Carboniferous Tabaquito batholith in the Frontal Cordillera of western Argentina, which is the best exponent of the Carboniferous arc-related magmatism in this region. Using new data obtained through LA-MC-ICP-MS and comparing it with previously published data (LA-MC-ICP-MS and SHRIMP techniques), we identify five distinct magmatic events in the Tabaquito batholith: 325 ± 2 Ma; 332 ± 2 Ma; 337 ± 2 Ma; 346 ± 1 Ma, and 362 ± 2 Ma. The 325 Ma event is considered as the best estimate of the crystallization age during the emplacement. The 332 Ma, 337 Ma, 346 Ma and 362 Ma events suggest the presence of zircon antecrysts, implying a complex magmatic system that worked for a protracted time lapse of ca. 40 Myr, or ca. 15 Myr if we consider the ages of 346 and 362 Ma as xenocrysts from a source like the Potrerillos pluton (346 ± 3 Ma to 356 ± 3 Ma), which was interpreted in previous studies as possible source of the parental magmas of the Tabaquito batholith. Furthermore, it has been also identified inherited zircons with ages older than ca. 370 Ma that are consistent with the detrital zircon pattern obtained for the country rock. Inherited zircon ages from the referred country rock yield a maximum deposition age estimated at 387 Ma that is consistent with the fossil ammonoids record, indicating that the granitic rocks were emplaced in Devonian rocks.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Geology is an international journal that publishes original research papers on isotopic and elemental geochemistry, geochronology and cosmochemistry.
The Journal focuses on chemical processes in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology, low- and high-temperature aqueous solutions, biogeochemistry, the environment and cosmochemistry.
Papers that are field, experimentally, or computationally based are appropriate if they are of broad international interest. The Journal generally does not publish papers that are primarily of regional or local interest, or which are primarily focused on remediation and applied geochemistry.
The Journal also welcomes innovative papers dealing with significant analytical advances that are of wide interest in the community and extend significantly beyond the scope of what would be included in the methods section of a standard research paper.
