Middle Jurassic shear zones at Cap de Creus (eastern Pyrenees, Spain): a record of pre-drift extension of the Piemonte–Ligurian Ocean?
P ‐Delays from Floating Seismometers (MERMAID), Part I: Data Processing
Abstract We investigate the structural, petrological and compositional features recorded by strongly deformed and melt-percolated Erro–Tobbio peridotites (Voltri Massif, Ligurian Alps, NW Italy), in order to demonstrate that the processes of shear-zone formation and melt percolation are intimately linked by a positive feedback. We focus on spinel and plagioclase peridotites, and extensional shear zones that underwent infiltration by upwelling asthenospheric melts. Shear and porosity bands, which developed during extension prior to melt infiltration, represent important structural and rheological pathways to facilitate and enhance melt infiltration into the extending lithosphere and the ascent of such melts to shallower levels. Our results lend strong support to numerical models addressing the physical processes underlying extensional systems. These show that, in the case of slow–ultraslow continental extension and the subsequent formation of slow–ultraslow spreading oceans, porosity and shear-localization bands may develop in a previously unstructured lithosphere, prior to melt infiltration. Our studies on the Erro–Tobbio peridotites allow a model for the inception of continental extension and rifting to drifting of slow–ultraslow spreading oceans to be proposed. We suggest that integrated studies of on-land peridotites, coupled with geophysical–structural results from modern oceans, may provide clues to the geodynamic processes governing continental extension and passive rifting.
Passive rifting and continental splitting in the Jurassic Ligurian Tethys: the mantle perspective
Abstract Based on present knowledge of mantle peridotites from the Ligurian Tethys ophiolites, this paper presents new ideas and a new model for passive rifting to ocean spreading in the slow–ultraslow rifting Europe–Adria realm. Relevant points include: (i) the positive feedback between deformation and melt percolation during passive magmatic rifting; (ii) the positive feedback between natural evidence and experimental data on the behaviour of the mantle lithosphere during passive rifting; (iii) the significance of hidden magmatism and the associated melt thermal advection; (iv) the role of the wedge-shaped weakened and softened axial zone; and (v) the evidence of a transition from passive to active rifting in the Ligurian Tethys. Passive rifting induced passive asthenospheric upwelling and the onset of partial melting. Fractional melts migrated through the mantle lithosphere and stagnated at shallow levels (the hidden magmatism). Melt thermal advection heated the mantle lithosphere to temperatures ( T ) of ≥1200°C and formed a wedge-shaped axial zone of rheological softened/weakened mantle peridotites that served as the future locus of continental break-up. The hotter/deeper asthenosphere ascended within this axial zone, underwent partial melting and formed aggregated mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) that migrated within dunite channels to form olivine gabbro intrusions and basaltic lava flows. Rifting evolved from passive to active, and the actively upwelling asthenosphere established a ridge-type system and thermal regime.
