Titanite geochemistry and textures: Implications for magmatic and post-magmatic processes in the Notch Peak and Little Cottonwood granitic intrusions, Utah
Origin of the fluorine- and beryllium-rich rhyolites of the Spor Mountain Formation, Western Utah
CONODONT BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE ORDOVICIAN OPOHONGA LIMESTONE IN WEST-CENTRAL UTAH
The Late Jurassic (157–150 Ma) Morrison Formation of the Western Interior of the United States contains abundant altered volcanic ash. On the Colorado Plateau, this formation accumulated behind and downwind of a subduction-related volcanic arc along the western margin of North America. The ash in these distal fallout tuffs probably drifted eastward from coignimbrite ash clouds related to collapse calderas. Altered volcanic ash is particularly abundant in the Brushy Basin Member of the upper part of the Morrison Formation. In one 110-m-thick section in eastern Utah, 35 separate beds were deposited in a 2.2 m.y. period. Alteration occurred when glassy volcanic ash fell into fluvial and lacustrine environments, where it was diagenetically altered to various mineral assemblages but most commonly to smectitic clay. Periodically, ash fell into saline, alkaline lakes, and diagenetic alteration of the glassy ash produced a crudely zoned deposit on the Colorado Plateau. Altered volcanic ash beds in the outermost part of the lacustrine deposits are argillic (with smectitic clay), whereas zeolitic (clinoptilolite, analcime) and feldspathic (K-feldspar and albite) alteration dominates the interior zones. Feldspathic ash layers contain secondary silica, and consequently immobile element (e.g., Al, Ti, and high field strength elements) abundances were strongly diluted in these rocks. In contrast, the argillic ash beds experienced strong SiO 2 depletion, and, as a result, they are enriched in the relatively immobile elements. The compositions of the zeolitic ash beds are intermediate between these two extremes and experienced the least alteration. As a result of these changes, immobile element concentrations are less reliable than ratios for determining the original magmatic composition of the ash. Most of the altered ash (regardless of type) was also depleted in water-soluble elements like the alkalies, U, and V. The latter two elements were oxidized during diagenesis of the ash, became soluble, and were partially leached away by groundwater. Locally, U and V in groundwater were reduced upon contact with organic materials and formed important ore deposits. Several aspects of the mineralogy and geochemistry of the altered volcanic ash beds yield information about their original magmatic compositions. The volcanic ash beds typically have small phenoclasts of quartz, sanidine, plagioclase, biotite, zircon, apatite, and Fe-Ti oxides. Titanite is present in ∼40% of the ash beds; pyroxene and amphibole were found in less than 5%. Phenocryst assemblages, mineral compositions, inferred high f O 2 , rare earth element patterns, and immobile element ratios all suggest the parent magmas for the altered tuffs were subduction-related dacites and rhyolites. Small numbers of tuffs have Fe-rich biotite, amphibole, and/or clinopyroxene; both pyroxene and amphibole are alkali rich. These tuffs lack titanite, but some contain anorthoclase and F-rich apatite. Combined with enrichments in Nb and Y, these features show some tuffs had an A-type character and were related to some type of within-arc extension. Paleowind directions, and distribution, radiometric ages, and compositions of the volcanic ash beds and of plutons in the western United States suggest that the most likely eruption sites were in the subduction-related Jurassic magmatic arc, which extended across western Utah and central Nevada and southward into the Mojave of California and southern Arizona (present-day coordinates). Pb isotopic compositions show that at least some of the ash was erupted from magma systems (now exposed as plutons) in the Mojave Desert. We conclude that a brief ignimbrite flare-up from 157 to 150 Ma, but focused on the time period from 152 to 150 Ma, in this region may have been driven by slab steepening and conversion to a strike-slip boundary after a preceding phase of folding and thrusting. The presence of ash beds with A-type characteristics mixed with those that have more typical subduction signatures confirms that the Late Jurassic was geologically a transitional time in North America when subduction was changing to transtensional movement along the western plate boundary.
