Evolving Geographic Patterns of Cenozoic Magmatism in the North JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 96, NO. B8, PAGES 13,201-13,224, JULY 30, 1991 EvolvingGeographic Patterns of CenozoicMagmatism in the North American Cordillera: The Temporaland Spatial Association of Magmatism and MetamorphicCore Complexes RICHARD LEE ARMSTRONG Departmentof GeologicalSciences, University of British Columbia,Vancouver, Canada U.S. Geological Survey,Menlo Park, California Four maps are presentedhere that show the location and extent of magmaticfields between eastern Alaska and northernMexico during the successivetime intervalsof 55-40, 40-25, 25-10, and 10-0 Ma, and four others show the distributionof metamorphiccore complexesduring the same Cenozoic time intervals. The maps are based on U.S. Geological Survey and Canadian Cordilleran data bases contining about 6000 isotopic dates and extensive literature review. For nearly 60 Ma the developmentof metamorphiccore complexeshas coincided with the locus of areally extensive and voluminousintermediate-composition magmatic fields. The associationis suggestiveof a close link betweenmagmatism and core complexformation, namely that magma directly and indirectly lowers the strengthof the crust. Magmatism thus controlsthe location and timing of core complex formation. The stressesresponsible may be inherited from Mesozoic crustal thickening,locally createdby uplift and magmatic thickeningof the crust, and imposedby the global pattern of plate motions and driving forces. Since the Miocene, rates of magmatism,extension, and core complex formation have declined. The modern Basin and Range province is not a suitable model for the situation that existed during major magmatic culminations. The singular event of early Miocene time, the merging of two large magmatic fields, extinguishing the Laramide magmatic gap, explains several disconnected observations:the hyperextensionepisode of the ColoradoRiver corridor, rapid reorientationof stress patternsacross much of westernNorth America, and subsequentrapid tectonicmovements in California. Magma-triggeredbreakup of westernNo•h America lithospherecoincided with developmentof the San Andreas transform system. Thermal destructionof the Laramide magmatic gap created a California "microplate"about 22 Ma ago that moved rapidly away from North America. Thus two plate tectonic processes,thermal destructionof the lithosphere"bridge" and northwardgrowth of a transformsystem, interactedto produceMiocene and later tectonicpatterns and events. INTRODU•ON the Cordilleran region and discussedthe significance of those evolving magmatic patterns for the Western Interior There have been many reviews of the Cenozoic magmatic Basin. The mandate of the first paper did not include the evolution of the western United States [Armstrong et al., Cenozoic, but the abundantdata on age and distribution of 1969; McKee, 1971; Lipman et al., 1971; Christiansen and magmatismdid not stop in the early Cenozoic. In fact, the Lipman, 1972;Lipman eta/., 1972;Armstrong and Higgins, time and spacedistribution of Cenozoicmagmatism is richly 1973; Snyder et al., 1976; Cross and Pilger, 1978; and accuratelydocumented. It was almost no extra effort to Armstrong, 1978; Coney and Reynolds,1977; Stewart and continuethe compilation,done up to 55 Ma ago for the Carlson, 1978; Christiansen and McKee, 1978; Luedke and Western Interior Basin paper, to the present. Moreover, Smith [1979a, 1979b, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986], there were other interestingstories to tell. The maps that Luedke et al.

Nevertheless, there has presenttime. In discussingmagmatism we include data from never been a single presentation of the distribution of both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. For the magmatic activity over the entire Cordilleran region Cenozoic the data base is weighted toward volcanic rocks, extendingfrom southeasternAlaska to the Mexican border whereasin the Mesozoic, intrusiverocks are predominant.

  • Minfile Nts 082Ese - Grand Forks
    MINFILE NTS 082ESE - GRAND FORKS Original release date: 1997 Researched and compiled by: B.N. Church and L.D. Jones The Grand Forks map area, located in south-central British Columbia, contains 261 documented mineral occurrences, including 108 past producers. The map area includes the historically important Greenwood mining camp, which continues to attract exploration interest and activity. Physiographic domains include the Okanagan Highland over most of the map area, and the Selkirk Mountains to the east of Lower Arrow Lake. The map area lies in the Omineca tectonic belt, which formed in Early to Middle Jurassic time as a result of the accretion of Paleozoic and Mesozoic oceanic and arc rocks of the Slide Mountain and Quesnel terranes. These terranes were delaminated from the oceanic lithosphere and stacked against the continental margin of the North America craton. The resulting calc-alkaline plutonism created a large number of Middle Jurassic intrusions of intermediate composition. These intrude the accreted terranes and the Proterozoic pericratonic Monashee Complex. Overprinting by Cretaceous Laramide and post-Laramide Tertiary transtensional structures has complicated the geology. Paleozoic age, unconformable bedded assemblages include the Knob Hill, Attwood and Anarchist groups. Knob Hill Group is Permo-Carboniferous, and possibly as old as Devonian, and consists of massive and banded MINFILE NTS 082ESE - Grand Forks metacherts and lesser amounts of quartz chlorite schist, amphibolitic schists and gneisses, and limestone bands. The rocks have been affected by deformation and metamorphism causing recrystallization and the development of foliation, quartz sweats parallel to foliation and much deformation of individual beds. The Attwood Group is Permian and consists of black argillite, sharpstone conglomerate, greywacke, limestone lenses and metavolcanic units.

All were formed by shield volcanoes of Miocene age which built up dome-like piles of lava and fragmented rock. Volcanic peaks, rugged scarps and extensive talus slopes characterize the southwestern half of the reserve, while gently sloping lava flows underlie much of its northeastern area. Although these mountains have been dissected by stream erosion and molded by glaciers, their original shape has been largely preserved. Alpine features such as patterned ground, boulder stripes and solifluction lobes are present. Biological: About two-thirds of the reserve is in the alpine zone, which consists of both vegetated areas and bare rock. Forested land, dominated by Subalpine fir, is largely restricted to the lower valley slopes. A great variety of herbaceous communities is present in this topographically diverse area.
