Magmatic arc evolution during the tectonic closure of the Rocas Verdes basin: insights from Cretaceous-earliest Paleocene intrusive rocks of Navarino Island (55°S), Fuegian Andes
Navarino Island is located in the southernmost part of the Fuegian Andes, south of the Beagle Channel. It geological record documents the complex tectonic history of Tierra del Fuego that includes the opening and closure of the Rocas Verdes basin, Cordillera arc collision and subsequent subduction processes. The geology of the island is mostly comprised of the Cretaceous Yahgán Formation, a marine meta-sedimentary sequence, which is intruded by diverse plutons that are mostly exposed on the northwestern tip of the island. We herein present a new dataset that shows the presence of three Cretaceous-earliest Paleocene magmatic suites of active margin magmatism emplaced during the early stage of the Fuegian Andes, which are referred to as (i) the Dientes de Navarino Microdioritic Sills, a suite of pre-tectonic microdioritic sills that formed during ∼101-97 Ma; (ii) the Castores Plutonic Complex, a series of pre- to syn-tectonic gabbroic to tonalitic plutons emplaced during ∼90-87 Ma and (iii) the Samantha Monzonites, a suite of isolated monzonitic to monzodioritic post-tectonic plutons that formed at ∼66-65 Ma. These distinct magmatic episodes are recognised by field observations, geological mapping, petrography and whole-rock geochemistry integrated with amphibole and biotite

期刊介绍:
Journal of the Geological Society (JGS) is owned and published by the Geological Society of London.
JGS publishes topical, high-quality recent research across the full range of Earth Sciences. Papers are interdisciplinary in nature and emphasize the development of an understanding of fundamental geological processes. Broad interest articles that refer to regional studies, but which extend beyond their geographical context are also welcomed.
Each year JGS presents the ‘JGS Early Career Award'' for papers published in the journal, which rewards the writing of well-written, exciting papers from early career geologists.
The journal publishes research and invited review articles, discussion papers and thematic sets.
