Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits of the Dunnage Zone of the Newfoundland Appalachians: setting, styles, key advances, and future research
ABSTRACT Synthesis of the Ordovician Taconic orogeny in the northern Appalachians has been hindered by along-strike variations in Laurentian, Gondwanan, and arc-generated tectonic elements. The Dashwoods terrane in Newfoundland has been interpreted as a peri-Laurentian arc terrane that collided with the Laurentian margin at the onset of the Taconic orogeny, whereas along strike in New England, the Moretown terrane marks the leading edge of peri-Gondwanan arcs. The peri-Laurentian affinity of the Dashwoods terrane hinges on the correlation of its oldest metasedimentary rocks with upper Ediacaran to Lower Ordovician rift-drift deposits of the Laurentian Humber margin in western Newfoundland. Here, we report U-Pb dates and trace-element geochemistry on detrital zircons from metasedimentary rocks in the southern Dashwoods terrane that challenge this correlation and provide new insights into the Taconic orogeny. Based on age and trace-element geochemistry of detrital zircons analyzed by laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and chemical abrasion–isotope dilution–thermal ionization mass spectrometry (CA-ID-TIMS), we identified ca. 462–445 Ma sedimentary packages with a mixed provenance consisting of Laurentian, Gondwanan, and arc-derived Cambrian–Ordovician sources. These deposits overlap in age with Upper Ordovician strata of the Badger Group of the Exploits subzone, which also contain Laurentian detritus. We infer dominantly east-directed transport of Laurentian detritus from the Taconic collision zone across a postcollisional arc–back-arc complex at ca. 462–455 Ma followed by dominantly west-directed transport of detritus from the Red Indian Lake arc at ca. 455–445 Ma. Our analysis of zircon inheritance from Dashwoods igneous rocks suggests that 1500–900 Ma Laurentian crystalline basement of the Humber margin is an unlikely source of Dashwoods inherited zircon. Instead, a more cosmopolitan Laurentian inheritance may be best explained as sourced from subducted Laurentian sediment. Our results demonstrate that the sampled metasedimentary units from the southern Dashwoods terrane do not correlate with rift-drift strata of the Humber margin as previously proposed, nor with the basement of the Moretown terrane; yet, these Middle to Upper Ordovician successions suggest the potential for an alternative plate-tectonic model in which the Taconic orogeny may have been initiated by collision of Gondwanan arc terranes that closed the main tract of the Iapetus Ocean along the Baie Verte–Brompton Line.

An Ordovician “Lost City” — venting serpentinite and life oases on Iapetus seafloor
A lost arc–back-arc terrane of the Dunnage oceanic tract recorded in clasts from the Garin Formation and McCrea mélange in the Gaspé Appalachians of Québec
The Appalachian-Caledonian orogen records a complex history of the closure of the Cambrian-Ordovician Iapetus Ocean. The Dunnage Zone of Newfoundland preserves evidence of an Ordovician arc-arc collision between the Red Indian Lake Arc, which forms part of the peri-Laurentian Annieopsquotch accretionary tract (ca. 480–460 Ma), and the peri-Gondwanan Victoria Arc (ca. 473–453 Ma). Despite the similarity in age, the coeval arc systems can be differentiated on the basis of the contrasts that are apparent across the suture zone, the Red Indian Line. These contrasts include structural and tectonic history, stratigraphy, basement characteristics, radiogenic lead in mineral deposits, and fauna. The arc-arc collision is considered in terms of modern analogues (Molucca and Solomon Seas) in the southwest Pacific, and the timing is constrained by stratigraphic relations in the two arc systems. The Victoria Arc occupied a lower-plate setting during the collision and underwent subsidence during the collision, similar to the Australian active margin and Halmahera arcs in the southwest Pacific. The timing of the subsidence is constrained by three new ages of volcanic rocks in the Victoria Arc (457 ± 2; 456.8 ± 3.1; 457 ± 3.6 Ma) that immediately predate or are coeval with deposition of the Caradoc black shale. In contrast the Red Indian Lake Arc contains a sub-Silurian unconformity and a distinct lack of Caradoc black shale, suggesting uplift during the collision. The emergent peri-Laurentian terranes provided detritus into the newly created basin above the Victoria Arc. The evidence of this basin is preserved in the Badger Group, which stratigraphically overlies the peri-Gondwanan Victoria Arc but incorporated peri-Laurentian detritus. Thus the Badger Group forms a successor basin(s) over the Red Indian Line. Following the collision, subduction stepped back into an outboard basin, the Exploits-Tetagouche backarc, closing the Iapetus Ocean along the Dog Bay Line in the Silurian. Correlative tracts in the Northern Appalachians and British Caledonides support the Ordovician arc-arc collision; however, the evidence is less obvious than in Newfoundland.
