Geochemical evidence of water-fluxed crustal melting in the Northern Colombian Andes

Journal of Petrology (2024)

Carlos Errázuriz‐Henao Mattia Parolari Arturo Gómez‐Tuena Fabián Gutiérrez-Aguilar Hermes García-RodrÍguez

Abstract The compositions of crustal magmas are powerful tools for understanding the formation and differentiation of continents. However, the geochemical fingerprints that distinguish the two dominant mechanisms of crustal melting, namely dehydration and water-fluxed melting, are still controversial. To provide new insights into this problem, we discuss the petrogenesis of the Paipa Volcanic Complex (PVC), an isolated Quaternary volcanic field in the Colombian Eastern Cordillera. The PVC is characterized by peraluminous trondhjemite-like rhyolites with exceptionally high Na2O contents (~6 wt %), super-chondritic Nb/Ta (~27), elevated Sr/Y ratios (~120), spoon-shaped REE patterns, and enriched isotopic compositions that overlap with those of the local basement. They also exhibit high pre-eruptive H2O contents (~up to 9.5 wt %) and abundant Paleozoic zircon inheritances. We demonstrate that these characteristics are inconsistent with a process of intra-crustal differentiation from a mafic or intermediate mantle-derived precursor. Instead, we propose that the origin of the PVC is best explained by melting the local (meta)sedimentary basement under H2O-saturated conditions, at middle-crustal pressures (~1.3 GPa) and relatively low temperatures (~690–740°C), following the complete breakdown of plagioclase and biotite, and the formation of reactive peritectic amphibole. This scenario differs from the high-temperature dehydration melting conditions that have been widely proposed for the Andes and globally, which result in the production of water undersaturated magmas in equilibrium with anhydrous lithologies rich in plagioclase and/or garnet. Accordingly, we speculate that an external H2O flux was ultimately sourced from a buoyant, cold, and hydrated mantle wedge that was extensively metasomatized by fluids derived from the Nazca and Caribbean flat-slab fronts. These conditions depressed the asthenospheric mantle potential temperature, likely inhibiting mantle melting. In turn, they facilitated the infiltration and ascent of mantle-derived H2O through pre-existing crustal faults and shear zones. Our results indicate that water-fluxed melting could be a plausible mechanism for generating crustal magmas in orogenic regions where the availability of free H2O has been difficult to confirm.

A Biogeochemical Imprint of the Panama Basin in the North Andean Arc

Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems (2021)

Carlos Errázuriz‐Henao Arturo Gómez‐Tuena Mattia Parolari Marion Weber

Abstract Oceans and continents mingle at convergent margins. However, the effects of this interaction in the construction and evolution of the continental crust remain poorly understood. Here we use geochemical data from the Panama Basin and the Northern Volcanic Province of Colombia to reveal that the oceanological and biogeochemical processes of a subducted ocean basin are imprinted in the compositions of continental arc volcanoes. The Panama Basin is a biologically highly productive area of the Eastern Equatorial Pacific in which the strongly biogenic sedimentation is reclassified and preserved differently depending on tectonically controlled depositional environments. Due to a shallow lysocline, sediments deposited on newly formed spreading centers are carbonate‐rich, whereas those accumulated on older subsiding seafloor become gradually richer in terrigenous components, organic carbon and authigenic U. Volcanoes of the North Volcanic Province of Colombia erupt high‐Mg# andesites that are common in some arcs, but display unusually high U contents and a symmetrical or “parabolic‐shaped” along‐arc trace element and isotopic variations that appear unrelated to differentiation or the pre‐existent crustal architecture. Instead, the parabolic‐shaped elemental trends mirror the reconstructed compositional variations of sediments deposited across axis on the currently subducted Sandra and Buenaventura ocean ridges. We interpret that subduction of these ocean ridges delivered a compositionally variable sediment influx that influenced the compositions of arc magmas. These findings demonstrate a strong connectivity between oceans and continents, and further imply that arc volcanoes can be reliable records of the oceanological and biogeochemical conditions of long subducted ocean basins.

The petrogenesis of Early–Middle Jurassic magmatism in southern and central Mexico and its role during the break-up of Western Pangaea

Geological Magazine (2022)

Mattia Parolari Michelangelo Martini Arturo Gómez‐Tuena Fernando Ortega‐Gutiérrez Carlos Errázuriz‐Henao

Abstract Central and southern Mexico represents a strategic place to understand the dynamics of Pangaea break-up and its influences on the evolution of the Pacific margin of North America. Lower–Middle Jurassic volcano-sedimentary successions, and scarce magmatic rocks, crop out discontinuously across this region and have been interpreted either as a vestige of a continental arc or as several deposits of syn-rift magmatism. At present, their origin is controversial. Available geochemical data on these igneous rocks suggest that they represent almost pure crustal melts produced in a rift environment rather than in an arc. In fact, the studied rocks exhibit the high silica contents and moderate to strong peraluminous character typical of sediment melts. The enriched isotopic composition (high 86 Sr/ 87 Sr and low 143 Nd/ 144 Nd) and the age distributions of inherited zircon grains readily identify the widespread Upper Triassic metasedimentary sequences presently exposed in southwestern and central Mexico as the most likely crustal source of these Jurassic igneous rocks. Accordingly, we argue that these Early–Middle Jurassic magmas originated in a syn-rift igneous province associated with extensional-driven crustal attenuation in the context of Pangaea fragmentation. Our findings also constrain post-Pangaea subduction initiation to be younger than Middle Jurassic time in central and southern Mexico.

Georutas o itinerarios geológicos: un modelo de geoturismo en el Complejo Volcánico Glaciar Ruiz-Tolima, Cordillera Central de Colombia

Cuadernos de Geografía Revista Colombiana de Geografía (2017)

Miguel Angel Escobar Nicolás Estrada Sierra Carlos Errázuriz‐Henao Michel Hermelín

El Complejo Volcánico y Glacial Ruiz-Tolima (CVGRT) evidencia los procesos climáticos y tectónicos que han incidido en la formación de la cordillera de los Andes. Mediante la elaboración de un inventario de geomorfositios referenciados espacialmente y con una evaluación de los elementos científicos y adicionales, se plantea la creación de un sistema de georutas o itinerarios geológicos, los cuales ejemplifican cada una de las condiciones que hacen especial la zona de estudio. Dichas georutas sirven como insumo para la creación de una herramienta de geoturismo en procura del aprovechamiento y la conservación de los lugares de interés geomorfológico.
