Geología de la sierra de Chávez en el sector centro-occidental de la sierra de Valle Fértil, San juan: metamorfismo y evolución tectónica de la corteza inferior del arco Famatiniano

Abstract

La geología de la sierra de Chávez está constituida por rocas ígneas y metamórficas intercaladas complejamente a todas las escalas, y corresponderían a la unidad máfica definida en la sierra de Valle Fértil. Cinco asociaciones litológicas han sido identificadas en éste complejo: diorítica, gábrica, metasedimentaria, milonítica y granítica-pegmatítica. Las estimaciones termobarométricas realizadas en las migmatitas indican condiciones de equilibrio para el pico metamórfico (M1) de 876 °C y 8,3 Kbar y reflejarían el efecto del magmatismo durante el Ordovícico Temprano (489 - 470 Ma). Las presiones aquí estimadas corresponden a las mayores paleo-profundidades reconocidas en todo el arco magmático Famatiniano. Las relaciones de campo y el análisis estructural permitieron establecer la presencia de varias fábricas magmáticas y tectónicas, las cuales son: i) estructuras magmáticas (S0) interpretadas como una foliación magmática primaria, ii) foliación submagmática a subsólida de alta temperatura y foliación metamórfica (S1), iii) foliación milonítica estabilizada en facies de anfibolita (S2a) y esquistos verdes (S2b) y iv) foliación frágil (S3) definida como un clivaje de fractura centimétrico. (S0) y (S1) están asociadas al primer estadío de deformación (D1) reconocido en la zona, desarrollado en condiciones de alta temperatura (facies de granulita) y coetáneo con el magmatismo y el pico metamórfico (M1). (S2a,b) y (S3) transponen a las estructuras ígneas y metamórficas generadas durante el evento D1, y se asocian a un segundo y tercer estadío de deformación (D2-D3), representando una evolución progresiva de la deformación desde dominios dúctiles a frágiles, vinculadas a las etapas de cierre y exhumación del arco Famatiniano.

The geology of the Sierra the Chavéz is constituted by igneous and metamorphic rocks that appear complexly inter-layered at all scales, and belong to the mafic unit from defined in the Sierra de Valle Fértil. Five lithological associations have been identified in this complex, which are: dioritic, gabbroic, metasedimentary, mylonitic and granitic-pegmatitic. Thermobarometric estimates performed in metasedimentary migmatites yield peak (M1) metamorphic conditions of 876 °C and 8.3 Kbar, and are interpreted to reflect Early Ordovician magmatism (~ 489-470 Ma). Maximum estimated metamorphic pressures correspond to one of the deepest crustal paleo-depths found all over the Famatinian arc. Field observations and structural analyses allow recognizing the presence of several magmatic and tectonic fabrics, which are: i) magmatic layering (S0) interpreted as primary magmatic foliation, ii) sub-magmatic to sub-solid high temperature foliation and metamorphic foliation (S1), iii) mylonitic foliations first formed in amphibolite (S2a) and then re-worked under green schist facies (S2b), and iv) brittle foliation (S3) occuring as centimeter-spaced cleavage fracture. Both (S0) and (S1) foliations are associated to a first stage of deformation (D1) that developed at high temperature conditions (granulite facies) and was broadly coeval with the magmatism and the metamorphic peak (M1). (S2a,b) and (S3) structures transposes the igneous and metamorphic fabrics developed during the D1 event, and are related to a second and third stage of deformation (D2-D3) which represent a progressive evolution of the deformation from ductile to fragile regimens related to the stage of closure and exhumation of the Famatinian arc.
