Santa Ana Mountains
The Santiago Peak volcanics, in the northern Santa Ana Mountains, are the northernmost exposures of the Santiago Peak–Alisitos magmatic arc present along the western edge of the Peninsular Ranges batholith. Remnants of deeply eroded volcanic sequences in the Santa Ana Mountains consist of subaerial basaltic-andesite to rhyolite lavas, rare basalt, welded tuff, and pyroclastic rocks that were emplaced across deformed Middle Jurassic turbidites. Subalkaline lavas have mixed calc-alkaline and tholeiitic affinities. Relatively primitive ε Sr (−18 to +5) and ε Nd (+7.5 to +0.1) values for the lavas plot along the mantle array. Silicic lavas have higher ε Sr and ε Nd values in comparison to mafic lavas. Parental magmas were derived from hydrous melts of relatively depleted mantle wedge, followed by fractionation and the assimilation of up to 10% crustal materials. The whole-rock compositions, isotopic data, and U/Pb and 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages (128–110 Ma) of the Early Cretaceous Santiago Peak volcanics and related Estelle Mountain volcanics overlap with emplacement ages of plutons of the western zone of the Peninsular Ranges batholith. The volcanic rocks are interpreted as the volcanic component of the arc plumbing system of the batholith. Arc rocks are in turn unconformably overlain by a forearc sequence of Upper Cretaceous through Tertiary strata that indicate deep erosion of the Santiago Peak volcanics by 95 Ma. Volcanic clasts of Turonian age within the forearc sequence yield U/Pb ages of 108–106 Ma. Age data and whole-rock geochemistry of the volcanic clasts indicate that they were eroded from supracrustal volcanic rocks located farther east within the Elsinore block.
The Catalina Schist: Evidence for middle Cretaceous subduction erosion of southwestern North America
The Catalina Schist underlies the inner southern California borderland of southwestern North America. On Santa Catalina Island, amphibolite facies rocks that recrystallized and partially melted at ca. 115 Ma and at 40 km depth occur atop an inverted metamorphic stack that juxtaposes progressively lower grade, high-pressure/temperature (PT) rocks across low-angle faults. This inverted metamorphic sequence has been regarded as having formed within a newly initiated subduction zone. However, subduction initiation at ca. 115 Ma has been difficult to reconcile with regional geologic relationships, because the Catalina Schist formed well after emplacement of the adjacent Peninsular Ranges batholith had begun in earnest. New detrital zircon U-Pb age results indicate that the Catalina Schist accreted over a ∼20 m.y. interval. The amphibolite unit metasediments formed from latest Neocomian to early Aptian (122–115 Ma) craton-enriched detritus derived mainly from the pre-Cretaceous wall rocks and Early Cretaceous volcanic cover of the Peninsular Ranges batholith. In contrast, lawsonite-blueschist and lower grade rocks derived from Cenomanian sediments dominated by this batholith's plutonic and volcanic detritus were accreted between 97 and 95 Ma. Seismic data and geologic relationships indicate that the Catalina Schist structurally underlies the western margin of the northern Peninsular Ranges batholith. We propose that construction of the Catalina Schist complex involved underthrusting of the Early Cretaceous forearc rocks to a subcrustal position beneath the western Peninsular Ranges batholith. The heat for amphibolite facies metamorphism and anatexis observed within the Catalina Schist was supplied by the western part of the batholith while subduction was continuous along the margin. Progressive subduction erosion ultimately juxtaposed the high-grade Catalina Schist with lower grade blueschists accreted above the subduction zone by 95 Ma. This coincided with an eastern relocation of arc magmatism and emplacement of the ca. 95 Ma La Posta tonalite-trondjhemite-granodiorite suite of the eastern Peninsular Ranges batholith. Final assembly of the Catalina Schist marked the initial stage of the Late Cretaceous–early Tertiary craton-ward shift of arc magmatism and deformation of southwestern North America that culminated in the Laramide orogeny.
