  • The Terrane Concept and the Scandinavian Caledonides: a Synthesis
    The terrane concept and the Scandinavian Caledonides: a synthesis DAVID ROBERTS Roberts , D. 1988: The terrane concept and the Scandinavian Caledonides: a synthesis. Nor. geol . unders . Bull. 413. 93-99. A revised terrane map is presented for the Scandinavian Caledcnldes. and an outline is given of the principal suspect and exot ic terranes and terrane-complexe s identified outboa rd from the Baltoscand ian miogeocline. The outermost part of the Baltoscandian continental margin is itself suspect , in the terrane sense. since the true palaeogeographical location s of rocks now represented in the Seve and serey-seuano Nappes, while inferred, are not known. The orogen -internal exotic terranes embrace the oceanic/eugeoclinal elements of the Caledonides, represented by the mag­ matosed imentary assemblages of the Koli Nappes, including ophiolite fragments and island arc products. Even more exot ic terranes occur in the highest parts of the tectonostratigraphy, inclu­ ding units which are thought possibly to derive from the Laurentian side of lapetus . D. Roberts.

The Mora- vo–Moldanubian Phase involved the overthrusting of the Moldanubian over the Moravian Zone, a process which may have followed the subduction of an intervening oceanic domain (a part of the Rheiic Ocean) beneath a Moldanubian (Armorican) active continental margin. The Moravo–Moldanubian Phase also involved the exhumation of the HP–HT rocks of the Gföhl Unit into the Moldanubian middle crust, represented by the Monotonous and Variegated series. The tectonic emplacement of the HP–HT rocks was accompanied by intrusions of distinct magnesio-potassic granitoid melts (the 335–338 Ma old Durbachite plutons), which contain components from a strongly enriched lithospheric mantle source. Two parallel belts of HP–HT rocks associated with Durbachite intrusions can be distinguished, a western one at the Teplá–Barrandian and an eastern one close to the Moravian boundary.

  • Trans-Lithospheric Diapirism Explains the Presence of Ultra-High Pressure
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-00122-w OPEN Trans-lithospheric diapirism explains the presence of ultra-high pressure rocks in the European Variscides ✉ Petra Maierová1 , Karel Schulmann1,2, Pavla Štípská1,2, Taras Gerya 3 & Ondrej Lexa 4 The classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with the presence of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks far from the plate interface in the Bohemian Massif of Central Europe. Here we use a comparison between geological observations and thermo-mechanical numerical models to explain their formation. 1234567890():,; We suggest that continental crust was first deeply subducted, then flowed laterally under- neath the lithosphere and eventually rose in the form of large partially molten trans- lithospheric diapirs. We further show that trans-lithospheric diapirism produces a specific rock association of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks and ultra-potassic magmas that alternates with the less metamorphosed rocks of the upper plate. Similar rock asso- ciations have been described in other convergent zones, both modern and ancient. We speculate that trans-lithospheric diapirism could be a common process. 1 Center for Lithospheric Research, Czech Geological Survey, Prague 1, Czech Republic. 2 EOST, Institute de Physique de Globe, Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France. 3 Institute of Geophysics, Department of Earth Science, ETH-Zurich,

  • A Pliocene Mega-Tsunami Deposit and Associated Features in the Ranquil Formation, Southern Chile ⁎ J.P
    A Pliocene mega-tsunami deposit and associated features in the Ranquil Formation, southern Chile ⁎ J.P. Le Roux a, , Sven N. Nielsen b,1, Helga Kemnitz b, Álvaro Henriquez a a Departamento de Geología, Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas, Universidad de Chile, Casilla 13518, Correo 21, Santiago, Chile b GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam, Section 3.1, Telegrafenberg, 14473 Potsdam, Germany Abstract An exceptionally large tsunami affected the coastline of southern Chile during the Pliocene. Its backflow eroded coarse beach and coastal dune sediments and redistributed them over the continental shelf and slope. Sandstone dykes and sills injected from the base of the resulting hyperconcentrated flow into underlying cohesive muds, assisted in plucking up large blocks of the latter and incorporating them into the flow. Locally, the rip-up intraclasts were fragmented further by smaller-scale injections to form a distinct breccia of angular to rounded mudstone clasts within a medium to coarse sandstone matrix. Sandstone sills in places mimic normal sedimentary beds, complete with structures resembling inverse gradation, planar laminae, as well as ripple and trough cross-lamination. These were probably formed by internal sediment flow and shear stress as the semi-liquefied sand was forcefully injected into cracks. In borehole cores, such sills can easily be misinterpreted as normal sedimentary beds, which can have important implications for hydrocarbon exploration.

The study was based on the local tomography method using data from earthquakes that occurred in the study area provided by the Turkiye Cumhuriyeti Ministry of Interior Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate Earthquake Department Directorate of Turkey. The dataset used for tomography included the travel times of 54,713 P-waves and 38,863 S-waves from 6355 seismic events. The distributions of the resulting seismic velocities (Vp, Vs) down to a depth of 60 km demonstrate significant anomalies associated with the major geologic and tectonic features of the region. The Arabian plate was revealed as a high-velocity anomaly, and the low-velocity patterns north of the Bitlis suture are mostly associated with eastern Anatolia. The upper crust of eastern Anatolia was associated with a ~10 km thick high-velocity anomaly; the lower crust is revealed as a wedge-shaped low-velocity anomaly. This kind of seismic structure under eastern Anatolia corresponded to the hypothesized existence of Citation: Medved, I.; Polat, G.; a lithospheric window beneath this collision zone, through which hot material of the asthenosphere Koulakov, I.

Stelloglyphus llicoensis isp. nov. is a large radial, discoidal to ellipsoidal trace fossil with a central shaft and single to bifurcating branches radiating from different levels. A 30 m thick measured section of the Ranquil For- mation at Punta Litre contains an associated trace fossil assemblage including Zoophycos, Chondrites, Phycosiphon, Nereites missouriensis, Lockeia siliquaria, Psammichnites(?), Parataenidium, Ophiomorpha, and Rhizocorallium, some of which reworked the Stelloglyphus traces.

  • 3D Seismic Velocity Structure Around Plate Boundaries and Active Fault Zones 47
    ProvisionalChapter chapter 3 3D Seismic Velocity Structure AroundAround PlatePlate BoundariesBoundaries and Active Fault Zones and Active Fault Zones Mohamed K. Salah Mohamed K. Salah Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/65512 Abstract Active continental margins, including most of those bordering continents facing the Pacific Ocean, have many earthquakes. These continental margins mark major plate boundaries and are usually flanked by high mountains and deep trenches, departing from the main elevations of continents and ocean basins, and they also contain active volcanoes and, sometimes, active fault zones. Thus, most earthquakes occur predomi‐ nantly at deep‐sea trenches, mid‐ocean spreading ridges, and active mountain belts on continents. These earthquakes generate seismic waves; strong vibrations that propagate away from the earthquake focus at different speeds, due to the release of stored stress. Along their travel path from earthquake hypocenters to the recording stations, the seismic waves can image the internal Earth structure through the application of seismic tomography techniques. In the last few decades, there have been many advances in the theory and application of the seismic tomography methods to image the 3D structure of the Earth's internal layers, especially along major plate boundaries. Applications of these new techniques to arrival time data enabled the detailed imaging of active fault zones, location of magma chambers beneath active volcanoes, and the forecasting of future major earthquakes in seismotectonically active regions all over the world. Keywords: 3D seismic structure, seismic tomography, Vp/Vs ratio, plate boundaries, crustal structure 1.

Different terranes can be defined and characterized by their dominant geological background. The Pontides domain represents a segment of the former active margin of Eurasia, where back-arc basins opened in the Triassic and separated the Sakarya terrane from neighbouring regions. Sakarya was re-accreted to Laurasia through the Balkanic mid-Cretaceous orogenic event that also affected the Rhodope and Strandja zones. The whole region from the Balkans to the Caucasus was then affected by a reversal of subduction and creation of a Late Cretaceous arc before collision with the Anatolian domain in the Eocene. If the Anatolian terrane underwent an evolution similar to Sakarya during the Late Paleozoic and Early Triassic times, both terranes had a diverging history during and after the Eo-Cimmerian collision.
