东昆仑喀雅克登塔格晚泥盆世花岗闪长岩的发现与地质意义

东昆仑西部祁漫塔格喀雅克登塔格地区地质研究程度低,特别是未曾有晚泥盆世侵入岩的报道或记录。本次工作识别出晚泥盆世花岗闪长岩的存在,经LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年,其形成时代为(380.52±0.92)Ma,即晚泥盆世。这一发现打破了东昆仑造山带加里东造山旋回幔源岩浆底侵作用发生在早泥盆世(408Ma)—中泥盆世(386Ma)的认识,进而将幔源岩浆底侵作用一直延续至晚泥盆世380Ma,为细化东昆仑西部祁漫塔格加里东造山旋回晚泥盆世的构造背景奠定了基础;喀雅克登塔格晚泥盆世花岗闪长岩产于祁漫塔格加里东造山带后造山伸展崩塌的晚期阶段幔源岩浆底侵作用的构造背景。     

Pre-Caledonian basement in Ireland and its cover relationships

Pre-Caledonian basement is exposed in three areas within the Irish orthotectonic Caledonides: 1. In northwest County Mayo the Erris Complex comprises the Annagh Division, which is largely Grenvillian but includes older gneisses, and the Inishkea Division, which is probably equivalent to the older Moines of Scotland. 2. In the northeast Ox Mountains, Rosses Point and Lough Derg inliers there is a granulite fades, dominantly metasedimentary basement which is probably late Grenville in age. 3. Laxfordian and probably older gneisses are seen in the Inishtrahull Platform northeast of Malin Head, County Donegal. In addition, some gneisses within the belt of ‘Connemara migmatites’ in south Connemara may be fragments of allochthonous basement and some high grade metamorphic rocks in the Tyrone Central inlier have been referred to as pre-Caledonian basement, but there is at present no conclusive support for these suggestions. The Ox Mountains succession seen in the Clew Bay region and the southwest and central Ox Mountains is probably not pre-Caledonian basement. Basement in the paratectonic Caledonides is confined to the Cadomian and possibly pre-Cadomian Rosslare Complex (older than 625 Ma) and the nearby late Precambrian (to early Cambrian ?) Cuilenstown Formation in southeast County Wexford. In addition, an unseen block of basement defined by magnetics immediately to the north of the Dingle peninsula of County Kerry is probably of Rosslare Complex affinity. Granulite facies xenoiiths recovered from volcanic rocks of Carboniferous age about 70 km to the west of Dublin, indicate the character of basement there, though its age is not proven. All contacts between basement and Lower Palaeozoic Caledonian cover in the orthotectonic Caledonides are synmetamorphic slide zones and faults and in the paratectonic Caledonides the contacts are either faults, which are often rooted in older mylonites, or are unexposed and presumed to be major structural breaks.     

广西油麻坡钨钼矿床成岩成矿年代学研究及其地质意义

广西博白_岑溪断裂带位于钦杭成矿带南段,既是一条长期活动的地体边界断裂带,也是一条岩浆活动频繁的W_Mo_Sn_Pb_Zn_Sb_Au_Ag多金属成矿带。文章以该带中的广西博白县油麻坡矽卡岩型钨钼矿床为研究对象,在详细的岩性鉴别和划分的基础上,对矿区内花岗岩类进行了单颗粒锆石LA_ICP_MS锆石U_Pb测年,获得深灰色花岗斑岩的等时线年龄为(479.7±3.9)Ma,灰色黑云母花岗闪长岩为(109.7±1.1)Ma,浅灰色细粒白云母花岗岩为(103.3±1.2)Ma。辉钼矿Re_Os测年获得加权平均年龄为(97.4±1.9)Ma。由此可见,油麻坡岩体为一个复式岩体,由早奥陶世(加里东期)的花岗斑岩和早白垩世(燕山晚期)的黑云母花岗闪长岩和细粒白云母花岗岩组成,其中,黑云母花岗闪长岩构成油麻坡岩体的主体。钨钼矿形成于早白垩世晚期(即燕山晚期),与黑云母花岗闪长岩和白云母花岗岩密切相关。这些高精度测年数据的获得,进一步表明博白断裂带是一条长期活动的断裂,其在加里东期已经活动,并伴有岩浆岩的侵位。燕山晚期,该断裂重新复活,并导致大量的岩浆活动和一定强度的W_Mo_Sn_Pb_Zn_Sb_Au_Ag成矿作用,形成由多个大_中型矿床组成的多金属成矿带。博白_岑溪成矿带属于华南100~80 Ma大规模成矿的一部分,成矿背景与华南地区白垩纪的地壳伸展、钦杭成矿带的再次裂陷有关。     

青海石底泉地区宗务隆构造带花岗闪长岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

对德令哈市石底泉地区宗务隆构造带内花岗闪长岩进行了锆石U-Pb测年和岩石地球化学分析。岩石地球化学分析结果显示,其具有岛弧或活动大陆边缘花岗岩的属性,原岩可能为新元古代早期(870.0±4.5Ma左右)硅铝地壳或地壳物质熔融的产物,它们的形成与板块的俯冲作用有关LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年显示2组年龄,分别为870.0±4.5Ma和443.3±2.3Ma。其中870.0±4.5Ma代表源区继承锆石的年龄,反映了新元古代时期的构造岩浆事件;443.3±2.3Ma代表花岗闪长岩岩浆锆石的结晶年龄,即花岗闪长岩侵位于晚奥陶世。综合分析可以确定,宗务隆构造带内花岗闪长岩与柴达木盆地北缘加里东期的板块汇聚碰撞造山作用有关,证实了宗务隆构造带内岩体形成时代并非全部是海西期一印支期。     

Redefinition and Formation Age of the Tanjianshan Group in Xitieshan Region,Qinghai

The Tanjianshan Group, which was previously divided into a, b, c and d formations, has been controversial for a long time. It mainly distributes in the northern margin of Qaidam Basin and is an important early Paleozoic greenschist facies metamorphic volcanic sedimentary rock formation. Detailed field investigation and zircon LA-ICPMS U-Pb dating of the key strata suggest that the original lower part of a Formation(a-1) versus the original middle upper of d Formation(d-3 and d-4), the original upper part of a Formation(a-2) and b Formation versus the original lower part of d Formation(d-1 and d-2) of Tanjianshan Group are contemporaneous heterotopic facies volcanicclasolite deposit, respectively. The former formations formed during the middle-late Ordovician(463–458 Ma), while the latter ones formed in the late Ordovician(about 445 Ma). The original c formation of Tanjianshan Group, which formed after 430 Ma, is similar to the Maoniushan Formation of Kunlun Mountains and north Qaidam Basin. According to the rules of stratigraphic division and naming, new stratum formations of Tanjianshan Group are re-built and divided into Duancenggou(O1-2td), Zhongjiangou(O2-3tz) and Xitieshan(O3tx) formations. The original c Formation is separated from Tanjianshan Group and is renamed as the Wuminggou Formation(S3-D1w), which shows a discordant contact with underlying Tanjianshan Group and overlying Amunike Formation(D3a). The zircon U-Pb age frequency spectrogram of Tanjianshan Group indicates three prominent peaks of 430 Ma, 460 Ma and 908 Ma, which is consistent with the metamorphic and magmatic crystallization ages obtained from para- and orthogneisses in north Qaidam HP-UHP metamorphic belt, implying that strong Caledonian and Jinningian tectonic and magmatic events have ever happened in North Qaidam.     

Direct 40Ar/39Ar dating of Late Ordovician and Silurian brittle faulting in the southwestern Norwegian Caledonides

Structural data as well as U–Pb zircon and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar biotite and muscovite ages were collected from the Rolvsnes granodiorite in western Norway. The granodiorite intruded at c. 466 Ma, cooled quickly and escaped later viscous deformation. Brittle top‐to‐the‐NNW thrust faults (Set I) and WNW–ESE striking dextral strike‐slip faults (Set II) formed in a NNW–SSE transpressional regime. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of synkinematic mica from both sets reveals a c. 450 Ma (Late Ordovician) age of faulting, which constrains early‐Caledonian brittle deformation. Set I and II faults are overprinted by a set of lower‐grade, variably oriented chlorite‐ and epidote‐coated faults (Set III) constraining WNW–ESE shortening. A lamprophyric dyke oriented compatibly with this stress field intruded at c. 435 Ma (Silurian), indicating that Set III formed at the onset of the Scandian Baltica–Laurentia collision. The preservation of Caledonian brittle structures indicates that the Rolvsnes granodiorite occupied a high tectonic level throughout the Caledonian orogeny.     

青海刚察泉吉地区中酸性侵入岩年代学特征及其意义

青海刚察泉吉地区中酸性侵入岩发育,为了进一步查明侵入岩的特征、侵入时代和形成环境,对其进行了地质学、岩石地球化学及年代学研究。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,研究区中酸性侵入岩侵位年龄主要集中在430~455 Ma,指示岩体为晚奥陶世—早志留世,指示两个期次岩浆产物,侵位于巴龙贡噶尔组的花岗闪长岩测年结果显示锆石206Pb/238U值为444±11 Ma,指示该花岗闪长岩体的侵位时代属晚奥陶世,因此限定了巴龙贡噶尔组(Sb)时代上限应该早于晚奥陶世。从岩石地球化学特征来看,花岗岩类表现为富钾、准铝—过铝质,富集大离子亲石元素Rb、K和Ba,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ti和P,具弱铕负异常;闪长岩类表现为富钾、准铝质、铕负异常特征不明显。从形成环境来看,研究区中酸性侵入岩均具有大陆碰撞环境的特征。结合区域地质构造环境及前人研究成果,研究区侵入岩是俯冲—碰撞环境下晚奥陶世-早志留世的加里东期产物。     

安徽铜陵狮子山矿田岩浆岩锆石SHRIMP定年及其成因意义

铜陵狮子山矿田发育大量岩浆岩,且与矿田中的铜金多金属成矿关系密切。锆石SHRIMP同位素精确定年表明,矿田中的岩浆侵位年龄在132.4～142.9Ma之间,即晚侏罗世—早白垩世,属燕山早期晚阶段。矿田岩浆岩体是在同期岩浆活动中多次侵位形成的,岩浆侵入活动可以划分为分别起始于140Ma前后和约136Ma的早晚两次。从岩浆上升侵位到冷却结晶的时间间隔均较短,但其中白芒山辉石二长闪长岩冷却史相对较长,且经历了早期深部岩浆房中的分离结晶作用和后期构造脉动、岩浆上升侵位、减压受热、早期晶体再熔蚀及冷却结晶的过程。结合主量元素和微量元素地球化学研究认为,狮子山矿田岩浆演化的后期,即起源于上地幔或下地壳的原生岩浆在同化了壳源物质并聚集到岩浆房中以后,在滞留的过程中发生了一定程度的分离结晶作用,但尚未固结,成分上显示了一定的带状分布,在区域构造应力松弛及构造事件诱发下,随机地沿发育的构造裂隙先后上升侵位,冷凝结晶。     

New constraints upon the structural and isotopic age of the Oughterard Granite,and on the timing of events in the Dalradian Rocks of Connemara,Western Ireland

A Lower Ordovician age for the Oughterard Granite is established by Rb–Sr dating of magmatic white micas from pegmatites cutting two of the satellite bodies found 12–15 km west of the main granitic intrusions. These micas give a minimum age of c. 473 Ma for the emplacement of the satellite bodies, and for the completion of the D3 deformation in the Dalradian host rocks. The main granite intrusions are post-D4 in age, but some of the small outlying sheet-like intrusions are either deformed by D4 folds, or were present during this deformation and were responsible for the development of locally disharmonic D4 minor folds. The correlation of the smaller granite bodies with the main bodies of Oughterard Granite is supported by their similar field appearance, petrography and trace element geochemistry. In common with other late orogenic granites, such as the 470 Ma Aberdeen Granite in NE Scotland, the Oughterard Granite is thought to have been part of a discontinuous magmatic arc, which formed along the southern margin of the Dalradian outcrop in Connemara and in NE Scotland in the early Ordovician. Members of the Oughterard Granite suite were emplaced during the final stages of the Grampian orogeny, from post-D3 to post-D4, while the country rocks were still at an elevated temperature (>500°C) following the peak of the regional metamorphism. The new minimum age of intrusion of c. 473 Ma, together with existing radiometric data, confirms that emplacement of the metagabbro and gneiss complex in southern Connemara, followed by the D3 structural and metamorphic events, all took place during a period of less than 20 Ma. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

青海西部祁漫塔格山卡尔却卡铜多金属矿床似斑状黑云二长花岗岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄

祁漫塔格卡尔却卡铜多金属矿体主要产于花岗闪长岩、似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩体与寒武纪—奥陶纪滩间山群接触部位的矽卡岩带和二长花岗岩中。本次对矿区Ⅶ号带矽卡岩与矿体紧邻的似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩体进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年,获得年龄为410.1Ma±2.6Ma。结合前人获得的花岗闪长岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄（237 Ma±2Ma）和矿石矿物辉钼矿Re-Os模式年龄（239Ma）,认为岩体成岩和成矿时代都发生在印支期,卡而却卡铜多金属矿成矿作用不仅与印支期中酸性侵入岩有关,也与加里东晚期酸性侵入岩有关。祁漫塔格地区矿床形成时代主要集中于加里东中晚期和印支晚期,尽管加里东期岩体在地表出露规模远没有印支期岩体规模宏大,但是加里东晚期岩体对成矿作用的贡献也应该引起足够的重视。     

Tectonic controls on post-subduction granite genesis and emplacement: The late Caledonian suite of Britain and Ireland

Rates of magma emplacement commonly vary as a function of tectonic setting. The late Caledonian granites of Britain and Ireland are associated with closure of the Iapetus Ocean and were emplaced into a varying regime of transpression and transtension throughout the Silurian and into the early Devonian. Here we evaluate a new approach for examining how magma volumes vary as a function of tectonic setting. Available radiometric ages from the late Caledonian granites are used to calculate probability density functions (age spectra), with each pluton weighted by outcrop area as a proxy for its volume. These spectra confirm an absence of magmatic activity during Iapetus subduction between c. 455 Ma and 425 Ma and a dominance of post-subduction magmas between c. 425 Ma and 380 Ma. We review possible reasons why, despite the widespread outcrop of the late Caledonian granites, magmatism appears absent during Iapetus subduction. These include shallow angle subduction or extensive erosion and tectonic removal of the arc.In contrast to previous work, we find no strong difference in the age or major element chemistry of post-subduction granites across all terranes. We propose a common causal mechanism in which the down-going Iapetus oceanic slab peeled back and detached beneath the suture following final Iapetus closure. The lithospheric mantle was delaminated beneath the suture and for about 100 km back beneath the Avalonian margin. While magma generation is largely a function of gravitationally driven lithosphere delamination, strike slip dominated kinematics in the overlying continental crust is what modulated granitic magma emplacement. Early Devonian (419–404 Ma) transtension permitted large volumes of granite emplacement, whereas the subsequent Acadian (late Early Devonian, 404–394 Ma) transpression reduced and eventually suppressed magma emplacement.     

A palaeomagnetic study of the Charnian,Caldecote, and Uriconian volcanics and plutons,central England

This palaeomagnetic study has investigated intrusive and extrusive calc-alkaline igneous rocks comprising the pre-Ordovician basement of central England and the Welsh Borderlands and dated ca. 560–530 Ma. Demagnetization studies resolve a range of magnetic components in both the older volcanic successions comprising the eastern Uriconian volcanics, and in the younger intrusive episodes comprising the Charnwood and South Leicestershire outcrops. Post-Ordovician overprinting is largely absent and the remanence record dates from ca. 560–420 Ma. Within this time interval field tests are inadequate to confirm a primary origin and some components may be overprints acquired in immediate post-Uriconian (Cadomian) or during late Ordovician (early Caledonian) thermotectonic events. A first order continuity is recognized on a palaeomagnetic scale between the data from the Midlands-Welsh Borderlands and the terranes exposed in Anglesey and Southwest Wales. The British terranes moved through low latitudes during the interval represented by the Uriconian episode; they crossed the palaeoequator during the folding of these rocks and prior to emplacement of the later intrusive suite. Collectively they had rotated through ca. 170° and moved into intermediate latitudes by mid-Lower Cambrian times. Post-Lower Cambrian movements on the Malvernian lineament are a possible explanation for second order differences between the palaeomagnetic records of the English Midlands and the Welsh Borderlands; the largest possible regional rotation here is a ca. 90° movement of the Charnwood block with respect to the other outcrops. Correlation with the Gondwana APW path places the Anglo-Welsh basement in the vicinity of a comparable calc-alkaline volcanic province linked to a subducting plate margin in the Afro-Arabian area. Subsequent continental breakup led to termination of this volcanic activity and establishment of a passive marine shelf environment later in Lower Cambrian times.

Exhumation history of the Peake and Denison Inliers: insights from low-temperature thermochronology

Multi-method thermochronology applied to the Peake and Denison Inliers (northern South Australia) reveals multiple low-temperature thermal events. Apatite fission track (AFT) data suggest two main time periods of basement cooling and/or reheating into AFT closure temperatures (～60–120°C); at ca 470–440 Ma and ca 340–300 Ma. We interpret the Ordovician pulse of rapid basement cooling as a result of post-orogenic cooling after the Delamerian Orogeny, followed by deformation related to the start of the Alice Springs Orogeny and orocline formation relating to the Benambran Orogeny. This is supported by a titanite U/Pb age of 479 ± 7 Ma. Our thermal history models indicate that subsequent denudation and sedimentary burial during the Devonian brought the basement rocks back to zircon U–Th–Sm/He (ZHe) closure temperatures (～200–150°C). This period was followed by a renewal of rapid cooling during the Carboniferous, likely as the result of the final pulses of the Alice Springs Orogeny, which exhumed the inlier to ambient surface temperatures. This thermal event is supported by the presence of the Mount Margaret erosion surface, which indicates that the inlier was exposed at the surface during the early Permian. During the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic, the inlier was subjected to minor reheating to AFT closure temperatures; however, the exact timing cannot be deduced from our dataset. Cretaceous apatite U–Th–Sm/He (AHe) ages coupled with the presence of contemporaneous coarse-grained terrigenous rocks suggest a temporally thermal perturbation related with shallow burial during this time, before late Cretaceous exhumation cooled the inliers back to ambient surface temperatures.

内蒙古达茂旗北部闪长岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb、角闪石~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年代学及其地质意义

内蒙古达茂旗北部的早古生代闪长岩侵入体产于包尔汉图-白乃庙岛弧带的西部,采用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年及角闪石40Ar/39Ar测年对其进行了精确的年代学研究。两件闪长岩样品分别获得的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为453±3Ma和446.8±5.3Ma,角闪石40Ar/39Ar坪年龄为459.2±2.4Ma和442.9±4.2Ma。这为研究该时期弧岩浆作用提供了新的年代学证据,并表明该岩浆侵位后,经历了结晶并快速冷却的过程,可能揭示了本区岛弧带和华北板块碰撞的构造意义。     

Late Proterozoic High-pressure granulite facies meta-morphism in the north-east Ox inlier, north-west Ireland

Abstract High-pressure granulite-facies gneisses in the NE Ox inlier in NW Ireland have undergone extensive Caledonian retrogression. In the local area of Slishwood, however, reworking was negligible and the gneisses (psammites, semipelites, pelites, metabasites and ultramafites) preserve evidence of P–T changes at high grade which mainly post-date pre-Caledonian polyphase deformation. Temperatures reached 850–900°C (based on garnet-clinopyroxene geothermometry and the presence of mesoperthite) during and after decompression from earlier eclogite-facies conditions (inferred from textural evidence of plagioclase release in sieve-textured augite). Subsequent cooling at high pressure is inferred from the unequivocal replacement of sillimanite by kyanite.
A Sm–Nd mineral isochron (gt–cpx–plag–WR) of 605 ± 37 Ma is taken to date a point on the cooling path, and confirms the hitherto suspected pre-Caledonian age of the high-grade metamorphism. Geochemical and Sm–Nd isotopic data indicate that the protoliths were probably late Proterozoic arkosic sediments and tholeiites. Following metamorphism they apparently came to reside near the base of the crust where they slowly cooled. The eventual exhumation of these gneisses is attributed to Caledonian crustal imbrication, followed by rapid isostatic recovery.     

甘肃公婆泉铜矿床含矿斑岩体地球化学特征、锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素特征研究

新疆中天山古生代侵入岩浆序列及构造演化

新疆中天山构造岩浆带是中亚造山带的重要组成部分,广泛分布着古生代花岗质侵入体。本研究重点对中天山南缘巴音布鲁克及巴伦台地区的花岗质侵入体进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年,并获得了岩体侵位年龄由老到新分别为463±3Ma(石英闪长岩)、437±5Ma(石英闪长岩)、424±3Ma(二长花岗岩)、383±4Ma(二长花岗岩)、356±3Ma(二长花岗岩)和303±5Ma(正长花岗岩)。综合区域地质分析认为,中天山古生代侵入岩浆活动可分为四个构造岩浆演化阶段:(1)晚寒武世—晚奥陶世阶段,Terskey洋盆和南天山洋盆自新元古代打开形成广阔洋盆,Terskey洋盆在晚寒武世开始初次俯冲,于晚奥陶世洋盆闭合,南天山洋盆于早奥陶世初次俯冲,具有自西向东、由早到晚的俯冲特点;(2)早志留世—中泥盆世阶段,南天山洋盆持续向北俯冲,该阶段北天山洋开始向南侧俯冲,在伊犁地块北缘形成了弧岩浆;(3)晚泥盆世—早石炭世阶段,南天山洋盆闭合于晚泥盆世末期,在早石炭世中晚期进入残余洋盆演化阶段;(4)晚石炭世—早二叠世阶段,该阶段为后碰撞伸展环境,区域上为陆内演化阶段。     

Palaeomagnetism of igneous rocks of the Lake District (Caledonian) terrane,Northern England: palaeozoic motions and deformation at a leading edge of Avalonia

The Lake District terrane of northern England comprises Upper Cambrian–Silurian sediments and volcanics accumulated at the northern margin of the Avalonian Plate during growth and demise of the Iapetus Ocean. Ocean closure and suturing resulted in Late Ordovician and Acadian tectonism and were accompanied by emplacement of a large regional batholith. Palaeomagnetic study of intrusive igneous rocks, including application of thermal demagnetization, field tests and principal component analysis, identifies a history of Ordovician to Devonian magnetization. Late plutons (Shap and Skiddaw granites and/or aureoles) record a shallow dipolar (A3) axis (mean declination/inclination (D/I=278/+17°) dating from emplacement in late Early Devonian times (c. 395 Ma). Although this axis is recorded as a sporadic overprint in older rocks, no pervasive remagnetization is attributable to batholith emplacement. Instead, the Carrock Fell Complex Layered Gabbros have a mid- to late Ordovician (A1) remanence (D/I)=17·4/−58·1°, 36 samples, α₉₅=4·8°) predating regional F2 folding. Later events in this igneous complex comprise the Carrock Fell Granophyre with a post-folding Ordovician remanence, and Round Knott Dolerite with a remanence linked to hydrothermal alteration late in the Ordovician magmatic episode. A Late Ordovician (Ashgill) palaeofield is also defined by remanence (A2) in the Threlkeld–St John's Microgranite and aureole (438 Ma, D/I=236·5/63·3°, 41 samples, α₉₅=4·7°). Other intrusions carrying a remanence predating the Acadian deformation include the Great Cockup Picrite (458 Ma, D/I=43·2/−31·8°, 31 samples, α₉₅=7·7°) and basic intrusives in the aureole of the Eskdale Granite (429 Ma, D/I=174·5/25·8°, 32 samples, α₉₅=8·8°). Collectively the palaeomagnetic data from this terrane identify a hairpin in the apparent polar wander path during Late Ordovician (Caradoc–Ashgill) times corresponding to ‘soft’ closure of the Iapetus suture and accompanying deformation. The same motion is recognized in contemporaneous data from the Welsh Caledonides where declinations are rotated by c. 55° relative to contemporaneous results from the Lake District. Adjustment for this (probable late Acadian) rotation beings fold trends of the Paratectonic Caledonides into alignment and identifies a parallel mid- to late Ordovician destructive plate margin comprising forearc (Lake District) and backarc (North Wales). This arc was oriented latitudinally in mid-southerly latitudes during formation and the bulk of the magmatism occurred during a single normal-polarity chron. The relationships between magnetization and folding in both the Lake District and Welsh Borderlands identify the importance of Late Ordovician deformation along this arc during collision of Avalonia and Laurentia. Arc-related volcanism was succeeded in Silurian times by parallel foreland basins embracing the Welsh Basin and southern Lake District as the Laurentian Plate overrode the Avalonian Plate. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
