  • Igneous and Metamorphic Processes in the Shap Granite and Its Aureole
    IGNEOUS AND METAMORPHIC PROCESSES IN THE SHAP GRANITE AND ITS AUREOLE by Stephen Lloyd Count Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Earth Sciences The University of Leeds December, 1986 TO MY MOTHER AND FATHER ABSTRACT The Shap Granite outcrops in eastern Cumbria, N.W. Enytand and is a post — orogenic granite intruded during the Lower Devonian (ie 394 Ma) into rocks of Ordovician to Siturian age. It is of adamettite com p osition and is notable in having megacrysts of orthoclase which crystallised tate (relative to the matrix) by an essentially metasomatic process. Late in it-s cooling history, hydrothermal fluids resulted in alteration ano mineralisation in and about the.. joint structures. Comparison of whole — rock element and stable isotope aata between the hydrothermally — altered and non — altered granites shows that this late — stage process- was isochemical and only involved localised redistribution of the available elements, the hydrothermal fluid being derived from the granite itself and acting in a closed system. The associated suite of granitic dykes extends the chemical range of Shap granitic rdcks from the restricted compositions of the granite itsetf (around 68%). to 62 to 77% Si02. Mineralogicat and chemical evidence suggests that the Shap magma com p ositions were controlled mainly by biotite and plagioclase fractionation over much of this silica range. The granite is intruded about much of its outcrop into. rocks of. the mid—Ordovician., calk—alkaline Borrowdatt Volcanic Group. The aureate is lkm wiae and 'generally displays limited contact metamorphic reactions apart from in the Blue Quarry, where higher su p— surface hedt flow (luring the granite's intrusion resulted in localised more extreme metamorphic and some metasomatic conditions resulting in the development of garnet veins.

  • Metamorphic Effects on Agate Found Near the Shap Granite, Cumbria, England: As Demonstrated by Petrography, X-Ray Diffraction and Spectroscopic Methods
    Mineralogical Magazine, August 2007, Vol. 71(4), pp. 461–476 Metamorphic effects on agate found near the Shap granite, Cumbria, England: as demonstrated by petrography, X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods 1, 2 2 T. MOXON *, S. J. B. REED AND M. ZHANG 1 55 Common Lane, Auckley, Doncaster DN9 3HX, UK 2 Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ, UK [Received 18 June 2007; Accepted 18 December 2007] ABSTRACT Agates from a 430 Ma host at Stockdale Beck, Cumbria, England have been characterized. The crystallite size of the Stockdale Beck agates was found to be ~60% greater than any other agates from five regions aged 400À1100 Ma. Raman spectroscopy identified moganite in all agates tested except those from Stockdale Beck. Infrared spectroscopy showed that the silanol content of the Stockdale Beck agates was near zero. The properties of agates from Stockdale Beck and the 1.84À3.48 Ga metamorphosed hosts found in Western Australia were similar but different from agates found in other hosts aged 400À1100 Ma. Cathodoluminescence demonstrates further differences between agates from hosts aged 13À1100 Ma and those from Stockdale Beck and Western Australia. Agates from the latter areas have a lower proportion of defects causing a red emission band (~660 nm) but an increased proportion of defects causing blue (~470 nm) and orange (~640 nm) emission bands. Agates found in hosts aged 13À1100 Ma are also differentiated from the Stockdale Beck and Western Australian agates in a ternary plot of the relative intensities of violet to blue to orange emission bands.

  • North West Geography
    ISSN 1476-1580 North West Geography Volume 14, Number 1, 2014 North West Geography, Volume 14, 2014 12 Towards a robust deglacial chronology for the northwest England sector of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet Peter Wilson Environmental Sciences Research Institute, School of Environmental Sciences, University of Ulster, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA. [email protected] Tom Lord Lower Winskill, Langcliffe, Settle, North Yorkshire BD24 9PZ. Abstract A number of absolute age determinations that provide a timeframe for the deglaciation of the last ice sheet in northwest England are reviewed. Some of the ages are probably too old and are therefore unreliable; some others have large associated uncertainties and are imprecise estimates for the loss of ice cover. Several ages are minimum ages for deglaciation because they record the timing of sedimentary events made possible by the removal of ice. The tightest age constraints on deglaciation are those derived from cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating but for some sites only a single age is available. Nevertheless together these age determinations indicate that between ~18 ka and ~17 ka northwest England began to emerge from its cover of glacial ice. Valley glaciers persisted in the Lake District until ~15 ka but had probably disappeared by 14.7 ka, or shortly after, when climate warmed abruptly. A more detailed picture of the style and rate of deglaciation is likely to come in the next few years as a result of the BRITICE-CHRONO project. Keywords Deglaciation, Last Glacial Maximum, British-Irish Ice Sheet, Dating techniques, Northwest England. Introduction Interest in the glacial geomorphology and sediment The idea that glaciers had previously existed in the British stratigraphy of northwest England extends back to the and Irish Isles was proposed by Swiss geologist Louis earliest days of glacial study.
