Abstract Metamorphic rocks in the central part of Sør Rondane Mountains, eastern Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica, are classified into three types based on petrological characteristics. (i) The Austkampane area preserves c. 800 °C and 0.5–0.6 GPa peak metamorphic conditions followed by decompression and subsequent isobaric cooling and later hydration (A-type). (ii) The Brattnipene and eastern Menipa area preserve peak P–T conditions of c. 800 °C and 0.7–0.8 GPa with subsequent isobaric cooling and later hydration (B-type). (iii) The area including Lunckeryggen, southern Walnumfjella and western Menipa preserves an amphibolite–facies peak metamorphic condition with signatures of prograde metamorphism (L-type), which are typically unaffected by the retrograde hydration event. Peak granulite–facies metamorphism of A- and B-type rocks are contemporaneous at c. 640–600 Ma, but a difference in the P–T paths between these rocks can be explained by thrusting of the A-type rock unit onto the B-type rock unit. By contrast, the timing of the metamorphism of the L-type rocks is significantly younger at c. 550 Ma, possibly related to the intrusion of pegmatites and granitoids. These metamorphic records in the central part of the Sør Rondane Mountains can be a test ground for the regional tectonic processes proposed for the orogeny related to Gondwana formation.

Geochronological constraints on the Late Proterozoic to Cambrian crustal evolution of eastern Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica: a synthesis of SHRIMP U-Pb age and Nd model age data Available to Purchase
Abstract In eastern Dronning Maud Land (DML), East Antarctica, there are several discrete, isolated magmatic and high-grade metamorphic regions. These are, from west ( c. 20°E) to east ( c. 50°E), the Sør Rondane Mountains (SRM), Yamato–Belgica Complex (YBC), Lützow-Holm Complex (LHC), Rayner Complex (RC) and Napier Complex (NC). To understand this region in a Gondwanan context, one must distinguish between Pan-African and Grenvillian aged magmatic and metamorphic events. Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe U–Pb zircon ages and Nd model ages for metamorphic and plutonic rocks are examined in conjunction with published geological and petrological studies of the various terranes. In particular, the evolution of the SRM is examined in detail. Compilation of Nd model ages for new and published data suggests that the main part of eastern Dronning Maud Land, including the SRM, represents juvenile late Mesoproterozoic ( c. 1000–1200 Ma) crust associated with minor fragments of an older continental component. Evidence for an Archaean component in the basement of the SRM is lacking. As for central DML, 1100–1200 Ma extensive felsic magmatism is recognized in the SRM. Deposition of sediments during or after magmatism and possible metamorphism at 800–700 Ma is recognized from populations of detrital zircon in metasedimentary rocks. The NE Terrane of the SRM, along with the YBC, was metamorphosed under granulite-facies conditions at c. 600–650 Ma. The SW and NE Terranes of the SRM were brought together during amphibolite-facies metamorphism at c. 570 Ma, and share a common metamorphic and magmatic history from that time. High-grade metamorphism was followed by extensive A-type granitoid activity and contact metamorphism between 560 and 500 Ma. In contrast, T DM and inherited zircon core ages suggest that the LHC is a collage of protoliths with a variety of Proterozoic and Archaean sources. Later peak metamorphism of the LHC at 520–550 Ma thus represents the final stage of Gondwanan amalgamation in this section of East Antarctica.
Geodynamic evolution of Mt. Riiser-Larsen, Napier Complex, East Antarctica, with reference to the UHT mineral associations and their reaction relations Available to Purchase
Abstract Mt. Riiser-Larsen is the largest outcrop in the Archaean–early Proterozoic Napier Complex, East Antarctica. The area is structurally divided into the Main and the Western Blocks by the subvertical Riiser-Larsen Main Shear Zone (RLMSZ) of about 200 m width composed of mylonite and pseudotachylite. Mineral parageneses including sapphirine+quartz and osumilite, diagnostic of ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism, are found in Mg-rich aluminous, siliceous and quartzo-feldspathic gneiss layers in both the Main and the Western Blocks of the Mt. Riiser-Larsen area. Some of the sapphirine–quartz associations are accompanied by retrograde reaction textures, which include growth of cordierite and/or garnet between sapphirine and quartz in the Main Block, and of orthopyroxene+sillimanite in the Western Block. These textures indicate the reaction 1 and 2 in the Main Block and 3 in the Western Block. Phase equilibria and P – T pseudosections for sapphirine+quartz-bearing associations suggest that these three reactions took place during a temperature drop from 1100 °C to 1000 °C at pressures of 0.6–0.8 GPa in the Main Block and 0.8–0.9 GPa in the Western Block. The geological structure and distribution of the UHT rocks provide an insight into the vertical extent of the>1000 °C UHT metamorphic zone: a minimum thickness of 4–5 km of the UHT-metamorphosed layers, which become deeper towards the west in the Main Block. The Western Block represents a c. 0.1–0.3 GPa ( c. 3–10 km) deeper structural level than the Main Block. In addition to the extent of the horizontal distribution of UHT metamorphism in the Napier Complex, our results on the vertical component provide new constraints for modelling the heat source and tectonic process of the unusually high-temperature regional metamorphism in the late Archaean–early Proterozoic. Electron microprobe monazite U–Th–Pb dating for hydrated and mylonitized sapphirine–quartz gneiss gave a wide spectrum of monazite age distribution between 2300 and 800 Ma, suggesting the tectonic uplift and juxtaposition of the two blocks in the Mt. Riiser-Larsen area later than the mid–late Proterozoic.
Origin of xenocrystic garnet and kyanite in clinopyroxene–hornblende-bearing adakitic meta-tonalites from Cape Hinode, Prince Olav Coast, East Antarctica Available to Purchase
Abstract Xenocrystic garnet and kyanite, in addition to clinopyroxene and rare orthopyroxene, are newly found to occur in middle Proterozoic slightly metamorphosed adakitic trondhjemites and tonalites (meta-tonalites) at Cape Hinode on the eastern Prince Olav Coast in the latest Proterozoic–Early Palaeozoic Lützow-Holm Complex, East Antarctica. Textural and compositional features of garnet and kyanite suggest that these minerals formed most probably as restite phases of partial melting of mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) between 15 and 20 kbar pressure, and were entrained by the tonalitic magmas, which underwent fractional crystallization upon ascent to form cumulates that were also entrained and metamorphosed to basic–intermediate granulite blocks. Available geochronological data for the meta-tonalites indicate that all these events including MORB formation took place in the middle Proterozoic. The meta-tonalites and associated basic, calc-silicate, and pelitic rocks were emplaced as an allochthonous block in the Lützow-Holm Complex at the waning stage of its main regional metamorphism, most probably as a part of the final amalgamation of East and West Gondwana into the Gondwana supercontinent.
