• Evolution of the Late Cretaceous Nanaimo Basin, British Columbia, Canada: Definitive provenance links to northern latitudes

  Geosphere · 2021 · 17 citations

  Abstract Accurate reconstruction of the Late Cretaceous paleogeography and tectonic evolution of the western North American Cordilleran margin is required to resolve the long-standing debate over proposed large-scale, orogen-parallel terrane translation. The Nanaimo Basin (British Columbia, Canada) contains a high-fidelity record of orogenic exhumation and basin subsidence in the southwestern Canadian Cordillera that constrains the tectonic evolution of the region. Integration of detrital zircon…

• Testing local and extraregional sediment sources for the Late Cretaceous northern Nanaimo basin, British Columbia, using 40Ar/39Ar detrital K-feldspar thermochronology

  Geosphere · 2021 · 9 citations

  Abstract Detrital K-feldspar 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology was conducted on clastic sedimentary rock samples collected from northern exposures of the Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group on Vancouver Island and adjacent Gulf Islands of British Columbia to constrain the denudation history of the local Coast Mountains batholith source region and determine the origin of extraregional sediment supplied to the basin. Strata of the northern Nanaimo Group deposited between 86 and 83 Ma (Comox and Extension form…

• U-Pb (SHRIMP-RG) age of zircon from rare-metal (Li, Cs) pegmatites of the Okhmylk deposit of the Kolmozero-Voron’ya greenstone belt (northeast of the Fennoscandian shield)

  Journal of Mining Institute · 2022-07-26 · 8 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  The results of isotopic and geochronological study of zircon from rare-metal pegmatites of the Okhmylk deposit are presented. There were no reliable data on the age of lepidolite-spodumene-pollucite pegmatites of this and the other deposits spatially located within the Archean Kolmozero-Voron’ya greenstone belt. The earlier estimates of the pegmatite age indicate a broad time range from 2.7 to 1.8 Ga. Zircon in the studied pegmatites is characterized by inner heterogeneity, where core and rim zo…

• Trench retreat recorded by a subduction zone metamorphic history

  Geology · 2022 · 8 citations

  Abstract Upper amphibolite-facies metamorphism in subduction zone rocks may occur under exceptional tectonic settings. Differentiating competing mechanisms for its occurrence requires carefully integrated, high-resolution thermobarometric and geochronologic studies of mélange rocks with well-defined field relationships. We present new pressure, temperature, and age data from the classic Cretaceous Catalina Schist in southern California (USA) that allow us to establish a plausible model for its h…

• Modulation of Deformation by Magmatic Tempo, Coast Mountains Batholith, British Columbia, Canada

  Tectonics · 2024-11-01 · 3 citations

  articleOpen access

  Abstract The tectonomagmatic evolution of the southern Coast Mountains batholith, British Columbia reveals the relation of magmatic tempo, deformation, and relative plate motions which inform models for growth of continental crust and convergent plate dynamics. Magmatism in the southern batholith is episodic, derived primarily from the mantle, and reflects lower‐plate dynamics (Cecil et al., 2018, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018gc007874 , 2021, https://doi.org/10.1130/ges02361.1 ). New field, struc…
