Distinctive hornblende-rich middle Cebolla Creek Tuff contains basal surge beds, overlain by vitrophyre of uniform mafic dacite that becomes less welded upward.

    Third ISAG, St Malo (France), 17-1 9/91]996 STRATIGRAPHY, SEDIMENTOLOGY AND TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE RIO CA~ETEBASIN : CENTRAL COASTAL RANGES OF PERU Antenor M. Aleman Amoco Production CO Houston, Texas 77293 KEY WORDS: Lima stratigraphy, frontal arc, arc extension. Central Coastal Ranges evolution. ABSTRACT The Rio Caiiete Basin in the Central Coastal Ranges of Peru (C.C.R.P.) represents a fault-bounded frontal-arc Late Jurasic (Tithonian) to Albian sequence formed by aborted intra-arc spreading process during the early evolution of the Andes (Fig.1). The sequence, exposed in the Lima area, consists of more than 6000 meters of volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks, lava flows, lime mudstones, shales, quartz rich sandstones and subordinated fossiliferous limestones and evaporites. The stratigraphy records several episodes of volcanism and extension along and across the basin and provides new insight in the evolution and crustal growth of the Central Andes. INTRODUCTION Four widespread groups and one areally restricted formation mark important stages in the stratigraphic, sediimentologic and tectonic evolution of the Rio Caiiete Basin. The Puente Piedra Group consists of volcaniclastic debris, basaltic to andesitic lava flows, shales and subordinate limestones that document the presence of a Jurassic volcanic arc (Fig.2). The overlying quartz rich sandstones and shales of the Morro Solar Group (fig.3) records an abrupt change in sedimentation and tectonic style. Ensialic extension accompanied by subsidence of the volcanic arc and concomitant uplift of the Paleozoic (o Precambrian "Coastal Cordillera" (Paracas Block) explains the change of source and provenance. The areally restricted Pucusana Formation (Fig.4), made up of alkaline lavas, volcanic breccias and lapillistones, is interpreted (o represent a localized volcanic center perhaps related to subduction of oceanic fractures.

  • Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Carbonaceous Mudstone As a Vector to Ore: a Case Study at the Lagunas Norte High-Sulfidation Gold Deposit, Peru
    MINERALOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF CARBONACEOUS MUDSTONE AS A VECTOR TO ORE: A CASE STUDY AT THE LAGUNAS NORTE HIGH-SULFIDATION GOLD DEPOSIT, PERU by Harry Hanneman A thesis submitted to the Faculty and Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date ________________ Signed: ________________________ Harry Hanneman Signed: ________________________ Dr. Thomas Monecke Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date ________________ Signed: ________________________ Dr. Paul Santi Professor and Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Lagunas Norte Au deposit in the Alto Chicama district of Peru is a ~14 Moz high- sulfidation epithermal deposit that is hosted by an atypical host-rock succession for this deposit type. Approximately 80% of the ore body is contained in the Lower Cretaceous Chimu Formation, which is composed of quartz arenite with interbedded carbonaceous mudstone, siltstone, and coal seams. The remainder of the ore is hosted by the Miocene volcanic rocks of the Calipuy Group, forming an irregular and thin veneer on the deformed sedimentary rocks of the basement. The host rock succession of the Lagunas Norte deposit has been affected by widespread hydrothermal alteration. The alteration is cryptic within most of sedimentary rocks as the quartz arenite was largely inert to alteration by the strongly acidic fluids. Vuggy textures associated with residual quartz alteration can only be recognized in the overlying Miocene volcanic rocks. However, the present study shows that mudstone of the Chimu Formation records acid-type alteration due to its originally high clay mineral content.

Radon concentration was determined using the LR-115 type 2 track detector during 36 periods, of 14 days each, in twenty holes distributed in the fifteen districts of Lima City. Radon concentration in soil pores ranged from 0.1 to 64.3 kBq/m3 with an average value of 5.6 kBq/m3. The average radon concentration in soil gas was about two times lower in winter than in the other seasons. High radon values during October/November 2017 were related to the earthquakes perceived in Lima City in that period. The highest radon concentrations were found in areas of alluvial deposits whose parental material has been removed from the Quilmaná and Huarangal volcanics by the Chillón and Huaycoloro Rivers. Soil gas radon concentrations were even higher in areas closer to volcanic and less distant from rivers.

  • Andean Flat-Slab Subduction Through Time
    Andean flat-slab subduction through time VICTOR A. RAMOS & ANDRE´ S FOLGUERA* Laboratorio de Tecto´nica Andina, Universidad de Buenos Aires – CONICET *Corresponding author (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: The analysis of magmatic distribution, basin formation, tectonic evolution and structural styles of different segments of the Andes shows that most of the Andes have experienced a stage of flat subduction. Evidence is presented here for a wide range of regions throughout the Andes, including the three present flat-slab segments (Pampean, Peruvian, Bucaramanga), three incipient flat-slab segments (‘Carnegie’, Guan˜acos, ‘Tehuantepec’), three older and no longer active Cenozoic flat-slab segments (Altiplano, Puna, Payenia), and an inferred Palaeozoic flat- slab segment (Early Permian ‘San Rafael’). Based on the present characteristics of the Pampean flat slab, combined with the Peruvian and Bucaramanga segments, a pattern of geological processes can be attributed to slab shallowing and steepening. This pattern permits recognition of other older Cenozoic subhorizontal subduction zones throughout the Andes. Based on crustal thickness, two different settings of slab steepening are proposed. Slab steepening under thick crust leads to dela- mination, basaltic underplating, lower crustal melting, extension and widespread rhyolitic volcan- ism, as seen in the caldera formation and huge ignimbritic fields of the Altiplano and Puna segments. On the other hand, when steepening affects thin crust, extension and extensive within-plate basaltic flows reach the surface, forming large volcanic provinces, such as Payenia in the southern Andes. This last case has very limited crustal melt along the axial part of the Andean roots, which shows incipient delamination.

  • Gravity Structure of Akan Composite Caldera, Eastern Hokkaido, Japan: Application of Lake Water Corrections
    LETTER Earth Planets Space, 61, 933–938, 2009 Gravity structure of Akan composite caldera, eastern Hokkaido, Japan: Application of lake water corrections Takeshi Hasegawa1, Akihiko Yamamoto2, Hiroyuki Kamiyama3, and Mitsuhiro Nakagawa1 1Department of Natural History Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan 2Department of Earth Sciences, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Ehime University, Matsuyama, Japan 3Institute of Seismology and Volcanology, Graduate School of Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan (Received October 1, 2008; Revised January 6, 2009; Accepted January 9, 2009; Online published August 31, 2009) Akan volcano, eastern Hokkaido, Japan, is characterized by a rectangular-shaped caldera (Akan caldera: 24 km by 13 km) with a complex history of caldera-forming eruptions during the Quaternary. A new Bouguer anomaly map of the caldera is presented on the basis of a gravity survey around Akan volcano. As part of and in addition to this survey, we applied gravimetry over the frozen caldera lake including lake water corrections. The Bouguer map shows the distribution of at least three sub-circular minima indicative of multiple depressions inside the caldera. Lake water corrections, performed by a numerical integration method using rectangular prisms, sharpen edges of the sub-circular minima. This gravity feature is consistent with geological investigations suggesting that caldera-forming eruptions of Akan volcano occurred from at least three different sources. It is concluded that Akan caldera can be described as a composite caldera with three major depressed segments. Key words: Gravity anomaly, Akan volcano, composite caldera, lake water correction. 1.
