... Clarion Island (CI) represents young (1–1.7 Ma) fracture zone-related volcanism in the east-central Pacific Ocean. The eastern Trans-Pecos magmatic province (TPMP) of west Texas represents continental volcanism that developed during waning Laramide compression, primarily 30 to 38 Ma. Both rock...

..., but the processes and timing of REE mobility are rarely well constrained. The Round Top laccolith in the Trans-Pecos magmatic province of west Texas, a REE ore prospect, has crosscutting fractures filled with fluorite and calcite along with a variety of unusual minerals. Most notably among these is an yttrium...

Location of the Sierra Blanca Complex (shown in red) relative to major geologic structures within the Trans-Pecos magmatic province. The gray shaded region represents the Texas lineament zone—a broad, ∼80-km-wide zone of parallel transtensional faulting. Northwest-trending normal faults are related to Rio Grande rifting. Map modified from Muehlberger (1980), Price et al. (1990), and O’Neill et al. (2017).

Map of North American crustal provinces and magmatic events that may have generated the detrital zircons deposited in High Plains sediments. Major zircon provinces are modified from Dickinson and Gehrels (2009b) and references therein. Distribution of calderas and tuffs associated with the mid-Cenozoic ignimbrite flare-up (orange polygons) include the Southern Rocky Mountains (SRM), Mogollon–Datil (MD), Trans-Pecos (TP), Marysvale (MA), Indian Peak (IN), and Central Nevada (CN) volcanic fields (modified from Best et al. 2013a); purple polygon represents the Snake River Plain–Yellowstone Hotspot track (modified from Perkins and Nash 2002).
