TODAY
Deformation, Metamorphism, and Time
A major goal of structural geologists: to decipher magnitude and timing of deformation- history!
How much and when were rocks buried to depth?When were rocks deformed?
When were rocks metamorphosed?When were rocks brought up from depth (exhumed)?
How fast?How did this all happen?
![Page 4: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
To get at displacement on BIG structures- need to know depths/temperatures from which rocks
were brought up- thermobarometry
To get at timing- need geochronology and thermochronology

Geothermal gradient: T increase with depth
![Page 6: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Geothermal gradients in different tectonic regimes
![Page 7: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Some rocks get subducted deep into the mantle- ultra-high pressure metamorphism and diamonds
![Page 8: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
An introduction to metamorphic facies

greenschist "low grade": chlorite, epidote, actinolite
![Page 10: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
amphibolite: hornblende, maybe
garnet
mod. to high T
![Page 11: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
granulite: two types of pyroxenes--- very high T
![Page 12: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
blueschist: glaucophane, jadeite,
kyanite, lawsonite
High-P, Low-T
![Page 13: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
eclogite: garnet + pyroxene
High T and P
![Page 14: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Folds in eclogite:
green (pyroxene) and red (garnet)
layers
![Page 15: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mineral assemblages can give range of P-T
conditions. But we want to do better!! HOW?
![Page 16: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Thermobarometry: Quantitative determination of temperature (T) and pressure (P) using
equilibrium reactions
![Page 17: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example: kyanite, andalusite, and sillimanite have same composition but different crystal
structure- function of T and P
![Page 18: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
One reaction yields one line. To determine a T and P point, at least one other reaction is needed
![Page 19: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fortunately, there are tons of
reactions that are useful for
constraining T and P
![Page 20: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A real example- with real
uncertainties
The concept of a P-T path and
zoned minerals
![Page 21: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
P-T paths for deeply buried, then exhumed
rocks
![Page 22: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Linking Deformation with Metamorphism
![Page 23: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
So far, we known how to determine P and T and timing of metamorphism relative to deformation
What about precise timing??
Exactly when? How fast or slow?
![Page 25: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Isotopes: Elements with different numbers of neutrons
Radioactive isotopes: are unstable- they decay with time to another isotope. This decay rate has been
constant throughout the history of the Universe.
![Page 26: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
isotopes can be removed from mineral grain(s) by many methods: dissolved out using acids, burned out in a
furnace, blasted out using a laser, or tickled out using an ion beam
Isotopic abundances (more often, ratios) are measured with a mass spectrometer
![Page 27: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In a mass spectrometer isotopes of different massesare separated using a magnet and collected & counted
![Page 28: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
With modern technology, it is possible to determine agesfor little spots in a single grain. Way cool!!
![Page 29: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Also cool, is that different minerals loose daughterproducts due to diffusion at different temperatures.
Some minerals like to keep the daughter products, even at high T.
Other minerals loose daughter products, even at lowT.
Closure temperature: Temperature below which a mineral will not loose daughter products. At higher T,daughter products will "run-away".

Geographic Setting
![Page 34: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Regional Geologic Setting
![Page 35: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Geometry
![Page 36: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Fault places low-grade limestones on top of a ledge of cataclasite (fault rock)
![Page 37: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Kinematics
Structural studies suggest that the fault is a normal fault, where the hanging wall moved to
the east relative to the footwall
![Page 38: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Footwall rocks include blueschists + greenschists and amphibolites.
![Page 39: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
But more precisely what P and T are the blueschists?
![Page 40: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Yikes! Thermobarometry suggests ~500 C
at 14 kbar (50 km!!)
Did the normal fault exhume the blueschists from this great depth?
![Page 41: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Mylonites in the footwall of the normal fault are amphibolite facies.
![Page 42: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Here's what they look like under the microscope
![Page 43: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The shear zone was active at ~11
kbar (~40 km)- probably cuts
the entire crust!
![Page 44: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The fault cuts granites and the shear zone is
intruded by undeformed granite
![Page 45: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Timing
When was the fault active?
before 204 Ma and after 220 Ma
![Page 46: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Thermochronology suggests rocks were
exhumed from >35 km depth in <10 Ma!!!!!!!!!
![Page 47: Announcements Bad news: It's not Thanksgiving yet](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070121/568137e2550346895d9f87e7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
