Provenance of the c. 390 Ma HP–HT subducted continental margin (Variscan belt, Cabo Ortegal Complex, NW Iberian Massif)

Abstract

[ES] El Alóctono Superior Varisco es un terreno de afinidad continental que registró una generación de arcos magmáticos en el Cámbrico-Ediacarense, una subsecuente transición a margen pasivo y un metamorfismo de alta presión relacionado con una colisión continental, relacionada a su vez con la amalgamación de Pangea en el Devónico-Carbonífero. El miembro inferior de este Alóctono registró este metamorfismo Devónico de alta-P y alta-T, el cual se desarrolló en un evento de subducción. Para saber qué margen continental subdujo, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de procedencia en la rocas metasedimentarias (5 muestras) de una de las formaciones de este Alóctono, los Gneises Bandeados (Gneises Eclogíticos). La procedencia de este terreno ha sido establecida combinando análisis isotópicos LA-ICP-MS de U-Pb y Lu-Hf en circón. Estos datos muestran que el Alóctono Superior Varisco procede del Cratón Africano Occidental, y que por lo tanto los complejos alóctonos del NO del Macizo Ibérico y sus terrenos correlacionables en Europa también han de tener una procedencia Gondwánica. Estos resultados nos permiten afirmar claramente que el primer evento de alta-P registrado en la amalgamación eo-Varisca de Pangea, se debió a la subducción del margen de Gondwana bajo el retro-continente, presumiblemente Laurrusia.

[EN] The Variscan Upper Allochthon is a continental-affinity terrane that recorded a Cambrian–Ediacaran magmatic arc generation, a subsequent transition to a passive margin, and a collision-related high-P metamorphism during the Devonian–Carboniferous amalgamation of Pangea. The bottom member of the Upper Allochthon recorded this HP-HT Devonian metamorphism, which was attained by a subduction process. To know which continental margin subducted a provenance study was carried out on the metasedimentary rocks of the Banded Gneisses (5 samples), which form part of the Upper Allochthon subducted terrane. The provenance of this terrane has been established using combined U–Pb (n = 613) and Lu–Hf (n = 463) isotopic LA–ICP–MS zircon analyses. These data show that the Variscan Upper Allochthon has a West African provenance and therefore, it strongly suggests that the NW Iberian allochthonous complexes and their correlative European terranes are also West Africa derived. These results allow us to finally clarify that the first high-P event, recorded during the eo-Variscan amalgamation of Pangea, was attained by the subduction of the margin of Gondwana under the colliding retro-continent, presumably Laurussia.
