U-Pb dating of garnet (LA-ICP-MS) reveals the oldest tectonothermal event in the Iberian Massif

Abstract

[ES] El basamento más antiguo expuesto en el Macizo Ibérico es de origen Pan-Africano y en Europa es denominado basamento Cadomiense u orogenia Cadomiense. Este basamento aflora en el Macizo de Mérida con una excelente representación y escasa modificación posterior. Dos unidades de este macizo, inferior y superior, fueron generadas en un arco volcánico peri-Gondwánico, mientras que una unidad intermedia máfica–ultramáfica se interpreta como una ofiolita, la Ofiolita de Mérida. Los protolitos máficos de esta ofiolita se generaron a c. 594 Ma en una cuenca de back-arc. Durante su acreción bajo el arco volcánico, las rocas gabroicas fueron metamorfizadas hasta condiciones propias del límite de la facies de las anfibolitas, con migmatización incipiente y desarrollo de tipos muy ricos en granates de hasta 1 cm de diámetro. Uno de estos granates ha proporcionado una edad U-Pb consistente de c. 590 Ma (LAICP- MS), lo que ha permitido identificar el episodio tectonotermal más antiguo datado hasta la actualidad en el Macizo Ibérico. Esta edad y su relación con las edades de los protolitos del Macizo de Mérida, permiten comprender mejor el contexto dinámico que acompañó la formación de la orogenia Cadomiense.

The oldest basement exposed in the Iberian Massif has Pan-African origin and in Europe is designed as Cadomian basement or Cadomian orogeny. This basement crops out in the Mérida Massif with an excellent representation and little subsequent reworking. Two units in this massif, lower and upper, were generated in a peri-Gondwanan volcanic arc, while an intermediate mafic¿ultramafic unit is interpreted as an ophiolite, the Mérida Ophiolite. The mafic protoliths of this ophiolite were generated at c. 594 Ma in a back-arc basin. During their accretion under the volcanic arc, the gabbroic rocks were metamorphosed to the limit of the amphibolite facies, with limited migmatization and development of amphibolites very rich in garnets up to 1 cm in diameter. One of these garnets has provided a consistent U-Pb age of c. 590 Ma (LA-ICP-MS), which has allowed to identify the oldest tectonothermal event dated to date in the Iberian Massif. This age and its relationship with the chronology of protoliths in the Mérida Massif, allows a better understanding of the dynamic context during the formation of the Cadomian orogeny.
