Abstract Twenty magnetostratigraphic profiles from IODP (International Oceanic Drilling Project) sediment cores distributed on the Earth's surface allowed the scatter of virtual geomagnetic poles (VGPs) during Brunhes–Matuyama times to be examined. We identified two groups of recording sites which give different paths for the VGPs during a time interval of about 1.1 myr. Calculations of the VGP velocities and accelerations, as well as the corresponding azimuths, resulted in mean/median values like those observed for recent times. No significant differences were observed during the ‘stable’ and transitional fields. The acceleration azimuths show variations from north–south to east–west depending on the field state: normal/reversed or transitional. Despite the uncertainties in the magnetization of the sediments (overprints and/or low-resolution records), we demonstrate that the use of this database is valid for obtaining kinematic parameters of the geomagnetic field when analysed on a statistical basis.
Abstract The virtual geomagnetic pole (VGP) trajectories during some geomagnetic polarity reversals of different ages are marked by anisotropic behaviour. This recurrent phenomenon may be reflected in the paleomagnetic data, even if the transitional field was not completely recorded. As the long-scale geomagnetic variations have a confined oscillatory character, the VGP paths from stratigraphically controlled sequences may be described on the basis of sine and cosine functions, even if time is not the independent variable. Here we considered longitude (or space) as the independent variable which had to be ‘unrolled’ to overcome the 360° repetitions as the VGPs moved around the geographic pole. Sixteen VGP series from the Early Cretaceous Serra Geral lava flows of southern Brazil were analysed using a modified version of the periodogram for uneven data series, and a combination of information approach. The combination of all the spectra, as in a stacking procedure, reduces noise and results in a smooth curve highlighting features of interest. We found a set of highest correlation wavelengths of approximately 167, 190, 209, 257, 277 and 368°. Phase analyses using two different methods revealed strikingly good coherence for some of these wavelengths, indicating that they are not only artefacts of the spectral analysis. Similar analysis of magnetostratigraphic data from the Icelandic Magmatic Province indicated that the two datasets may have wavelengths of approximately 165 and 270° in common. These results suggest quasi-periodic behaviour, possibly with sub-harmonic instabilities owing to the modulating effect of inner Earth’s anisotropies influencing the pole trajectory.
Abstract A palaeogeographical reconstruction of the South American and African continents back to anomaly C34 (84 Ma) brings together the Rio Grande Rise (RGR) and the central portion of the Walvis Ridge (WR), thus the RGR–WR aseismic ridges may have a common origin. If the construction of the RGR–WR basaltic plateau took place mainly between 89 and 78 Ma, as indicated by the ages of the basalts sampled by DSDP wells, then the basaltic magmas are the result of an ‘on-ridge’ volcanism. Once separated, the normal sea-floor spreading and thermal subsidence of the RGR and WR ridges continued until approximately 47 Ma when an Eocene magmatism took place in the RGR. In the WR, a younger volcanism is observed in the Guyot Province. The available geochemical and isotope data of the WR–RGR basalts do not indicate the participation of the continental crust melting component. Incompatible trace element ratios and isotope signatures of the basalts from the RGR–WR ridges are distinct from the present-day Tristan da Cunha alkaline rocks, and are nearly identical to the high-Ti Paraná Magmatic Province (PMP) tholeiites (133–132 Ma). Both the high-Ti PMP and the WR–RGR basalts are characterized by moderate initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr and low 206 Pb/ 204 Pb isotope ratios [Enriched Mantle I (EMI) mantle component], suggesting melting from a common source, with significant participation of sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). A three-dimensional (3D) flexural modelling of the RGR and WR was conducted using ETOPO1 digital topography/bathymetry and EGM2008-derived free-air anomalies as a constraint. The best fit between the observed and calculated free-air anomalies was obtained for an elastic plate with elastic plate thickness ( T e ) of less than 5 km, consistent with an ‘on-ridge’ initial construction of the RGR–WR. The modelling of the crust–mantle interface depths indicates a total crustal thickness of up to 30 km in the RGR–WR. Flexural analysis reinforces the geological evidence that RGR was constructed during two main magmatic episodes, the tholeiitic basalts in the Santonian–Conician times and the alkaline magmatism in the Eocene. Geochemical and geophysical evidence, which rules out the classical deep-mantle plume model in explaining the generation of basalts of these volcanic provinces, is presented. Finally, three models to explain the geochemical and isotope signatures of RGR–WR basalts are reviewed: (1) thermal erosion of SCLM owing to edge-driven convection; (2) melting of fragmented or detached SCLM and lower crust; and (3) thermal erosion at the base of the SCLM with lateral transport of enriched components by mantle flow.
