ABSTRACT The Paleozoic plate boundary zone between Laurussia and Gondwana in western Pangea hosts major magmatic and hydrothermal Sn-W-Ta, Au, and U mineralization. Individual mineral deposits represent the results of the superposition of a series of exogenic and endogenic processes. Exogenic processes controlled (1) the enrichment of the ore elements in sedimentary protoliths via residual enrichment during intense chemical weathering and via climatically or tectonically controlled redox traps, (2) the spatial distribution of fertile protoliths, and, thus, eventually (3) the spatial distribution of mineralization. Endogenic processes resulting in metamorphism and crustal melting controlled the mobilization of Sn-W, Au, and U from these enriched protoliths and, thus, account for the age distribution of Sn-W and Au mineralization and U-fertile granites. It is the sequence of exogenic and endogenic processes that eventually results in the formation of mineralization in particular tectonic zones. Whereas the endogenic processes were controlled by orogenic processes during the assembly of western Pangea itself, the exogenic processes were linked to the formation of suitable source rocks for later mineralization. The contrasting distribution of magmatic and hydrothermal Sn-W-Ta, Au, and U mineralization on the Laurussia and Gondwana sides of the plate boundary zone reflects the contrasting distribution of fertile protoliths and the contrasting tectonic situation on these margins. The Laurussian margin was an active margin during most of the Paleozoic, and the distribution of different mineralization types reflects the distribution of terranes of contrasting provenance. The Gondwanan margin was a passive margin during most of the Paleozoic, and the similar distribution of a wide range of different metals (Sn, W, Ta, Au, and U) reflects the fact that the protoliths for the various metals were diachronously accumulated on the same shelf, before the metals were mobilized during Acadian, Variscan, and Alleghanian orogenic processes.
Paleozoic orogenies and relative plate motions at the sutures of the Iapetus-Rheic Ocean Available to Purchase
ABSTRACT Early Ordovician to late Permian orogenies at different plate-boundary zones of western Pangea affected continental crust derived from the plates of North America (Laurentia), Europe (East European Craton including Baltica plus Arctida), and Gondwana. The diachronic orogenic processes comprised stages of intraoceanic subduction, formation and accretion of island arcs, and collision of several continents. Using established plate-tectonic models proposed for different regions and time spans, we provide for the first time a generic model that explains the tectonics of the entire Gondwana-Laurussia plate-boundary zone in a consistent way. We combined the plate kinematic model of the Pannotia-Pangea supercontinent cycle with geologic constraints from the different Paleozoic orogens. In terms of oceanic lithosphere, the Iapetus Ocean is subdivided into an older segment (I) and a younger (II) segment. Early Cambrian subduction of the Iapetus I and the Tornquist oceans at active plate boundaries of the East European Craton triggered the breakup of Pannotia, formation of Iapetus II, and the separation of Gondwana from Laurentia. Prolonged subduction of Iapetus I (ca. 530 –430 Ma) culminated in the Scandian collision of the Greenland-Scandinavian Caledonides of Laurussia. Due to plate-tectonic reorganization at ca. 500 Ma, seafloor spreading of Iapetus II ceased, and the Rheic Ocean opened. This complex opening scenario included the transformation of passive continental margins into active ones and culminated in the Ordovician Taconic and Famatinian accretionary orogenies at the peri-Laurentian margin and at the South American edge of Gondwana, respectively. Rifting along the Avalonian-Cadomian belt of peri-Gondwana resulted in the separation of West Avalonian arc terranes and the East Avalonian continent. The vast African/Arabian shelf was affected by intracontinental extension and remained on the passive peri-Gondwana margin of the Rheic Ocean. The final assembly of western Pangea was characterized by the prolonged and diachronous closure of the Rheic Ocean (ca. 400–270 Ma). Continental collision started within the Variscan-Acadian segment of the Gondwana-Laurussia plate-boundary zone. Subsequent zipper-style suturing affected the Gondwanan Mauritanides and the conjugate Laurentian margin from north to south. In the Appalachians, previously accreted island-arc terranes were affected by Alleghanian thrusting. The fold-and-thrust belts of southern Laurentia, i.e., the Ouachita-Marathon-Sonora orogenic system, evolved from the transformation of a vast continental shelf area into a collision zone. From a geodynamic point of view, an intrinsic feature of the model is that initial breakup of Pannotia, as well as the assembly of western Pangea, was facilitated by subduction and seafloor spreading at the leading and the trailing edges of the North American plate and Gondwana, respectively. Slab pull as the plate-driving force is sufficient to explain the entire Pannotia–western Pangea supercontinent cycle for the proposed scenario.

Paleozoic plate kinematics during the Pannotia–Pangaea supercontinent cycle Available to Purchase
Abstract Three supercontinents have been suggested to have existed in the last 1 Gyr. The supercontinent status of Pangaea and Rodinia is undisputed. In contrast, there is ongoing controversy on whether Pannotia existed at all. Here, we test the hypothesis of a Pannotian supercontinent. Using first-order tectonic constraints, we reconstruct the Paleozoic kinematics of major continents relative to the East European Craton. Back-rotation from Pangaea results in a supercontinent constellation in the early Paleozoic corroborating the existence of Pannotia. The presented model explains first-order constraints for both the break-up of Pannotia and the subsequent assembly of Pangaea. The break-up of Pannotia comprises (1) the early Paleozoic opening of Iapetus II and in turn the Rheic Ocean, concomitant with the subduction of the Neoproterozoic Iapetus I Ocean and (2) the coeval opening of the Palaeo-Arctic Ocean, which separated Siberia from the North American Craton. The subsequent convergence of the North American Craton, Avalonia, Gondwana and Siberia with the East European Craton resulted in Paleozoic collisional orogenies at different plate boundary zones. The existence of Rodinia, Pannotia and Pangaea as pari passu supercontinents implicates two complete supercontinent cycles from Rodinia to Pannotia and from Pannotia to Pangaea in the Neoproterozoic and the Paleozoic, respectively.
