Cota July 22, 2014 A GEOCHEMICAL STUDY OF THE RIDDLE PEAKS GABBRO, NORTH CASCADES: EVIDENCE FOR AMPHIBOLE ACCUMULATION IN THE MID CRUST OF AN ARC A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Western Washington University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science By Angela Cota July 2014 Abstract Mid-crustal arc rocks are not commonly exposed, hampering our understanding of magma differentiation processes and mineral crystallization in the mid-crust of arc systems. This thesis presents results of the study of one exposed mid-crustal arc pluton, which is a unique laboratory to understand the geochemical effects of crystallization in this type of system. I report on the major and trace element characteristics of amphibole, plagioclase, and apatite in hornblendite and hornblende gabbro cumulates from the ~44 km2 Riddle Peaks pluton (~77 Ma) in the North Cascades Crystalline Core (NCCC), Washington. Electron microprobe and laser ablation-induced mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), coupled with whole rock major and trace element data, show that the Riddle Peaks contains low Mg# cumulates 2+ with 40.7-47.2 wt.% SiO2; Mg# 33-67, where Mg# is defined as 100*[(Mg/(Mg+Fe )]. The two rock types present in the pluton are a rhythmically layered gabbro, consisting of hornblendite and hornblende gabbro layered with anorthite to plagioclase-rich gabbro, and a massive hornblende gabbro. The layered gabbro has higher Mg# amphibole (60-70, with the majority 66-70) than massive gabbro (60-63) and more anorthitic plagioclase (layered gabbro = An81-85; massive gabbro = An71-77), suggesting that it was formed by a more primitive liquid. This is supported by modeling that shows that equilibrium liquids from the massive gabbros could have been produced by 40% crystallization of a hornblende gabbro lithology from the parent, calculated liquids in equilibrium with the layered gabbros. Equilibrium liquid calculations also allow for calculation of new apatite partition coefficients for 16 trace elements and REE in a mid-crustal, basaltic andesite system. This study finds that cumulate amphiboles crystallized from a basaltic andesite parent are responsible for increasing La/Yb iv ratios in derivative melts, such as arc magmas, continental crust and NCCC magmas (NCCC magmas approximated by liquid compositions from the Cardinal Peak and Tenpeak plutons). Amphibole crystallization decreases Dy/Yb in derivative melts; these results are in accordance with predictions from observed arc magmas. Other observed ratios in arc and crustal magmas, such as high Sr/Y (16-20), low Nb/Ta (10-17) and Ti/Zr (30) relative to primitive mantle/chondritic values (Sr/Y = 4.6; Nb/Ta = 18-20; Ti/Zr = 115) are not explained by amphibole crystallization. It has been suggested that amphibole-rich plutons could fractionate certain incompatible trace element pairs to explain the differing ratios in arc magmas and continental crust versus primitive mantle values. With the exception of REE, the Riddle Peaks pluton does not fractionate these ratios sufficiently to explain the differing ratios. If mineral fractionation is occurring, another mineral partitions these elements; or, another process occurs. v Acknowledgements This research would not have been possible without the support of the Geological Society of America, Sigma Xi and the Western Washington University Geology Department. Additionally I personally would not have been able to complete this project without the support of many individuals. Many, many thanks to Susan DeBari for her invaluable guidance in the realm of igneous petrology. Committee members Dr. Liz Schermer and Dr. Bob Miller provided comments and input throughout the process. La-ICP-MS analysis would not have been possible without Dr. Brian Rusk’s training and help with analyses and data interpretation. In the tradition of WWU graduate students, hearty thanks must go to George Mustoe for all his guidance in the sample preparation process and his friendship. Outside the department I thank the Whitman College Geology faculty for general support. Learning from my peers has been an important part of my graduate experience. To that end, I wish to thank all of my fellow graduate students. Julie Gross in particular was instrumental for her endless guidance and friendship and for obtaining my titanite analyses. Chelsea Mack provided help in the field. Zack McGuire also provided help in the field, and his personal support and contribution to this process went far beyond carrying rocks. And thank you to my ever- supportive family and friends, especially my wonderful and loving parents. vi Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................ iv Acknowledgements ......................................................................................................................... vi List of Tables ................................................................................................................................. viii List of Figures .................................................................................................................................. ix Introduction ...................................................................................................................................... 1 Geologic Setting ............................................................................................................................... 5 Regional Geology ................................................................................................................ 5 Riddle Peaks Geology .......................................................................................................... 6 Field Relations and Rock Descriptions ............................................................................... 7 Layered gabbros (hornblendite to hornblende gabbro to leucogabbro) ................. 8 Massive gabbros (hornblende gabbro) ................................................................ 10 Methods .......................................................................................................................................... 12 Whole Rock Chemical Analysis ......................................................................................... 12 Major Element Analysis .................................................................................................... 13 Trace Element Analysis ..................................................................................................... 14 Mineral Chemistry ............................................................................................................. 15 Results ............................................................................................................................................ 17 Whole Rock Major Element Data ...................................................................................... 17 Whole Rock Trace Element Data ....................................................................................

H. Brown Department of Geology, Western Washington University, USA Correspondence should be addressed to E. H. Brown; [email protected] Received 2 May 2020; Accepted 22 September 2020; Published 10 November 2020 Academic Editor: Tamer S. Abu-Alam Copyright © 2020 E. H. Brown. Exclusive Licensee GeoScienceWorld. Distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0). The southen end of the 1800 km long Coast Plutonic Complex (CPC), exposed in the Harrison Lake area of British Columbia and in the North Cascades of Washington, bears a record of great crustal thickening -20 to 40 km in localized zones during Late Cretaceous times. During this period, the CPC was positioned at the continental margin during collision/subduction of the Farallon plate. Arc magmatism and regional orogenic contraction were both active as potential crustal thickening processes. Magmatism is favored in this report as the dominant factor based on the delineation of four spatially and temporally separate loading events, the close association of the loaded areas with emplacement of large plutons, and a paucity of evidence of deep regional tectonic contraction. The timing and spatial location of crustal loading events are documented by the following: zircon ages in plutons; an early event of low pressure in pluton aureoles evidenced by andalusite, now pseudomorphed by high- pressure minerals; high pressures in country rock in pluton aureoles measured by mineral compositions in the assemblages garnet-biotite-muscovite-plagioclase and garnet-aluminum silicate-plagioclase; high pressures recorded in plutons by Al-in- hornblende barometry; and uplift ages of plutons derived from K-Ar and Ar-Ar ages of micas and hornblende in plutons.

  • Petrology, Geochemistry of Hornblende Gabbro and Associated
    Petrology, geochemistry of hornblende gabbro and associated dolerite dyke of Paharpur, Puruliya, West Bengal: Implication for petrogenetic process and tectonic setting Aditi Mandal, Arijit Ray∗, Mayukhee Debnath and Sankar Prasad Paul Presidency University, Kolkata 700 073, India. ∗Corresponding author. e-mail: [email protected] Paharpur gabbroic intrusive is an arcuate body running east–west paralleling the foliation of Chhota- nagpur Granite Gneiss which acts as country rock. The main gabbroic body is intruded by a number of dolerite dykes running north–south. It is composed of clinopyroxene (Wo48En40Fs12–Wo51En40Fs09,mg no. 72–82), plagioclase (An52–An90), hornblende (magnesian hornblende to ferro-tschermackite), orthopy- roxene (En76–En79) and ilmenite. Hornblende occurs as large poikilitic grain and constitutes around 60% of the rock. Both gabbro and associated dolerite dykes, show relatively primitive character (mg no. 65– 73). Primitive mantle-normalized and MORB-normalized spider diagrams indicate enrichment in Rb, Ba, Th, La, Sr and depletion in Nb, Zr, Y, Ti and Nd. The LILE enrichment and Nb, Ti, Zr, Y depletion suggest arc like geochemical signature for the gabbroic and doleritic rocks of Paharpur. Flat to slightly LREE fractionated pattern and variable degree of REE enrichment is observed. An early stage fraction- ation of clinopyroxene, plagioclase, orthopyroxene, ilmenite and late stage reaction of cumulate pile and evolved melt/hydrous fluid is suggested for magmatic evolution of gabbro. Associated dolerite dykes, which are geochemically similar to the gabbro, have tholeiitic with boninitic character. The mineralogi- cal and chemical compositions of intrusive rocks also have some similarity with mafic rocks of ophiolite complex of subduction zone.

  • Micro-Gabbro 0.34 Grams
    61224,6 Micro-Gabbro 0.34 grams Introduction 61224 contained several white and off-white particles as well as 3 peppered black and white rock fragments that appeared to fit together as one (figure 1). Thin section studies showed this to be a shocked lunar gabbro (albiet very fine-grained for a gabbro). Petrography Marvin and Warren (1980) describe 61224,6 and liken it to a eucritic meteorite – accept that the Fe/Mn ratio Figure 1: Group photo for 61224,6. Scale in mm. proves it is lunar in origin. Marvin (1972) originally called it “gabbroic microporphry”. The gabbroic texture and mineral mode is illustrated in figure 2. Grain size is about 1- 2 mm. Marvin and Mosie (1980) wrote 61224,6: “is a coarse- grained, pristine, plutonic gabbro with a cumulate texture in which chains of anhedral hyperthene and augite grains coexist with plagioclase (An83). The plagioclase has been shocked in situ to a leafy, optically-randomized state, and the grain boundaries are occupied by a selvage of pyroxene-plagioclase glass containing minute cyrstallites”. Mineralogical Mode 40 % plagioclase 60% pyroxene Mineralogy Olivine: none Pyroxene: Marvin and Warren (1980) and Takeda et al. (1981) studied the composition and structure of pyroxene (figures 3 and 4). The Fe/Mn ratio of pyroxene seems to indicate that this is a lunar gabbro, not a meteorite (figure 5). Bersch et al. (1983) give precise analyses of high- and low-Ca pyroxene in 61224,6. Plagioclase: Marvin and Warren (1980) reported plagioclase as An79-87. Selvage glass: Marvin and Warren (1980) reported the composition of shock-melted glass in 61224,6.

  • GEOLOGIC MAP of the CHELAN 30-MINUTE by 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON by R
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1661 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE CHELAN 30-MINUTE BY 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON By R. W. Tabor, V. A. Frizzell, Jr., J. T. Whetten, R. B. Waitt, D. A. Swanson, G. R. Byerly, D. B. Booth, M. J. Hetherington, and R. E. Zartman INTRODUCTION Bedrock of the Chelan 1:100,000 quadrangle displays a long and varied geologic history (fig. 1). Pioneer geologic work in the quadrangle began with Bailey Willis (1887, 1903) and I. C. Russell (1893, 1900). A. C. Waters (1930, 1932, 1938) made the first definitive geologic studies in the area (fig. 2). He mapped and described the metamorphic rocks and the lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group in the vicinity of Chelan as well as the arkoses within the Chiwaukum graben (fig. 1). B. M. Page (1939a, b) detailed much of the structure and petrology of the metamorphic and igneous rocks in the Chiwaukum Mountains, further described the arkoses, and, for the first time, defined the alpine glacial stages in the area. C. L. Willis (1950, 1953) was the first to recognize the Chiwaukum graben, one of the more significant structural features of the region. The pre-Tertiary schists and gneisses are continuous with rocks to the north included in the Skagit Metamorphic Suite of Misch (1966, p. 102-103). Peter Misch and his students established a framework of North Cascade metamorphic geology which underlies much of our construct, especially in the western part of the quadrangle. Our work began in 1975 and was essentially completed in 1980.
