The Farallon-Aluk ridge collision with South America: Implications for the geochemical changes of slab window magmas from fore- to back-arc
The collision of a divergent ocean ridge may evolve into two end cases: in the continuity of ocean-floor subduction, or in the detachment of the subducted plate. The northern Patagonia active plate margin has the unique situation that in Cenozoic time it has been subjected to two divergent ridge col...

| description |
The collision of a divergent ocean ridge may evolve into two end cases: in the continuity of ocean-floor subduction, or in the detachment of the subducted plate. The northern Patagonia active plate margin has the unique situation that in Cenozoic time it has been subjected to two divergent ridge collisions, each one representing one of the end members. The Neogene Antarctica-Nazca divergent ridge collision evolved as a continuous ocean-floor subduction system, promoting a magmatic hiatus at the arc axis, the obduction of part of the ridge ocean-floor in the fore-arc, and basaltic volcanism in the back-arc. In contrast, the Paleogene Farallon-Aluk divergent ridge collision evolved into a transform margin, with the detachment and sinking of the Aluk plate and the development of a large slab window. As in the previous case, this collision promoted a magmatic hiatus at the arc axis, but the tectono-magmatic scenario changed to postorogenic synextensional volcanism that spread to the former fore-arc (basalt, andesite, rhyolite) and former back-arc (bimodal ignimbrite flare-up, basalt). Geochemistry of this slab window synextensional volcanism shows more MORB-like basalts towards the former fore-arc, and MORB-OIB-like basalts towards the former back-arc. Instead, an isolated undeformable crustal block in the former back-arc, with an "epeirogenic" response to the slab window and extensional regime, was covered by OIB-type basalts after uplift. Major elements show that slab window basalts reach TiO2 values up to 3 wt%, as compared with the top value of 1.5 wt% of arc magmas. Besides, the MgO with respect to (FeO<SUP>t</SUP> + Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>) ratio helps to distinguish slab window magma changes from the former fore-arc to the former back-arc and also with respect to the "epeirogenic" block. Higher contents of HFS elements such as Nb and Ta also help to distinguish this slab window from arc magmas and also, to distinguish slab window magma changes from the former fore-arc to the former back-arc and "epeirogenic" block settings. The isotope compositions of slab window magmatism show a disparate coeval array from MORB to crustal sources, interpreted as a consequence of the lack of protracted storage and homogenization due to the extensional setting. |
