The Wild Bight Group (WBG) is a sequence of early and middle Ordovician volcanic, subvolcanic and epiclastic rocks, part of the Dunnage Tectonostratigraphic Zone of the Newfoundland Appalachians. A detailed geochemical and Nd-isotopic study of the volcanic and subvolcanic rocks has been carried out to determine the geochemical characteristics of the rocks, interpret their palcotectonic environments and constrain their petrogenetic history. The lower and central stratigraphic levels of the WBG contain mafic volcanic rocks with island-arc geochemical signatures, including LREE-enriched are tholeiites with
Nd(t)
=-0.1 to +2.2 (type A-I), LREE-depleted arc tholeiites with
Nd(t)
=+5.6 to +7.1 (type A-II) and an unusual suite of strongly incompatible-element depleted tholeiites in which
Nd(t)
ranges from-0.9 to +4.6 and is negatively correlated with147Sm/144Nd (type A-III). High-silica, low-K rhyolites occur locally in the central part of the stratigraphy, associated with mafic rocks of arc affinity, and have
Nd(t)
=+4.7 to +5.4. The upper stratigraphic levels of the WBG dominantly contain rocks with non-arc geochemical signatures, including alkalic basalts with
Nd(t)
=+4.6 to +5.5 (type N-I), strongly LREE- and incompatible element-enriched tholeiites that are transitional between alkalic and non-alkalic rocks with
Nd(t)
=+4.4 to +7.0 (type N-II) and rocks with flat to slightly LREE-enriched patterns and
Nd(t)
=+5.1 to +7.4 (type N-III). Rocks with non-arc and arc signatures are locally interbedded near the stratigraphic type of the WBG. Nd-isotopic data in the type A-I and A-II rocks are generally compatible with mixing/partial melting models involving depleted mantle, variably contaminated by a subducted crustally-derived sediment. The petrogenesis of type A-III rocks must involve source mixing and multi-stage partial melting, but the details are not clear. The geochemistry and Nd isotope data for types N-I, N-II and N-III rocks are compatible with petrogenetic models involving variable partial melting of a source similar to that postulated for modern oceanic island basalts. Comparison of the WBG with modern analogues suggests a 3-stage developmental model: stage 1) island-arc volcanism (eruption of type mafic volcancs); stage 2) arc-rifting (continued eruption of type A-I, A-I, eruption of types A-II and A-III mafic volcanics and high-silica, low-K rhyolites); and stage 3) back-arc basin volcanism (continued minor eruption of type A-I basalts, eruption of types N-I, N-II, N-III basalts). Stages 1 and 2 volcanism involved partial melting of subduction contaminated mantle, while stage 3 volcanism utilized depleted-mantle sources not affected by the subducting slab. This model provides a basis for interpreting coeval sequences in central Newfoundland and a comparative framework for some early Paleozoic oceanic volcanic sequences elsewhere in the Appalachian orogen. 相似文献

Intercalibration of one intralaboratory and three interlaboratory standards used in 40Ar-39Ar dating has been carried out. In order to provide homogeneous values for the standards were prepared by careful handpicking. To control the neutron fluence in the Herald Reactor (A.W.R.E.) 16 aliquots of the standards were arranged along 0.6 × 60 cm of a single silica tube. The corrections for all known interferences from K, Ca, Cl were carefully assessed. Two of the hornblende standards, Hb3gr and MMHb-1 appear homogeneous at the 0.1% level while the other two standards, LP-6 and FY12a are not completely homogeneous. The mean values of when referenced to the previously determined value for Hb3gr (turner et al., 1971) are:
Hb3gr | hbld | (±lσ) | 1072. m.y. |
MMHb-1 | hbld | 518.9 m.y. | |
LP-6 | biot | 128.5 m.y. | |
FY12a | hbld | 435.0 m.y. |
