Pre-Yavapai orogeny tectonic model for eastern Mojave province. A, Eastward subduction of oceanic lithosphere forms arc in the Ivanpah-New York Mountains area of eastern California between 1.76 and 1.74 Ma. The Yavapai arc is also active at this time (Karlstrom and Bowring 1993). Slab rollback results in the formation of a back-arc basin in the Arizona Mojave subprovince. Partial melting of the asthenosphere initiates basaltic magmatism. Introduction of heat by the basalt causes partial melting of the eastern Mojave crust and consequent rhyolitic magmatism forming bimodal supracrustal rocks. Quartz-rich detritus is derived from the eastern California arc and possibly the Bagdad block. The mixing of juvenile basaltic material and eastern Mojave crust results in the formation of the isotopically mixed Mojave-Yavapai boundary zone. B, Arc migrates east into western Arizona (former site of the back-arc basin) due to shallowing of the subducting slab resulting from the increased convergence rate, the introduction of anomalously thick oceanic crust into the subduction zone, or both. The eastern California arc shuts off. C, Due to increased coupling along the subduction zone, the Yavapai arc impinges on the easternmost Mojave province resulting in D1 deformation, M1 metamorphism, and tectonic burial to 20–25 km. The basin closes by thrust faulting. Speculatively, the Yavapai arc basement (oceanic lithosphere) is detached on impingement of the Yavapai arc with the eastern Mojave province. Continued collision results in crustal overthickening, inception of middle to lower crustal melting, and gravitational collapse sometime before the ca. 1.70 Yavapai orogeny (not shown), as proposed by Bonamici (2007) and Bonamici and Duebendorfer (2009).

Relative probability and cumulative number diagrams for data shown in Figure 4. Timing of Mazatzal and Yavapai orogenies is after Whitmeyer and Karlstrom (2007). Note that zircon crystallization ages in northern New Mexico display a single broad peak, consistent with the Yavapai orogeny. Oldest garnet age peak is interpreted as onset of prograde amphibolite-facies metamorphism. Oldest hornblende age peak is interpreted as onset of cooling from metamorphic peak in high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Cimarron Range, with later protracted cooling across the rest of the terrain. Oldest biotite and muscovite ages are interpreted to mark the end of high-grade metamorphism during the Picuris orogeny. Isotopic dates younger than the oldest muscovite and biotite cooling ages are interpreted to indicate tectonic reactivation and protracted slow cooling in the middle crust (Grambling and Dallmeyer, 1993; Karlstrom et al., 1997; Shaw et al., 2005).
