Early Cambrian granitoids of North Gondwana margin in the transition from a con...

Two distinct Cambrian magmatic pulses are recognized in the Ossa-Morena Zone (SW Iberia): an early rift-(ER) and a main rift-related event. This Cambrian magmatism is related to intra-continental rifting of North Gondwana that is thought to have culminated in the opening of the Rheic Ocean in Lower Ordovician times. New data of whole-rock geochemistry (19 samples), Sm–Nd–Sr isotopes (4 samples) and ID–TIMS U...

Tracing the Cadomian magmatism with detrital/inherited zircon ages by in-situ U...

U–Pb SHRIMP geochronology on zircon extracted from a granite, a sandstone and a quartzite of the SW Iberian Massif (Ossa-Morena Zone), was used in order to investigate the contribution of Late Neoproterozoic (Cadomian) tectonothermal history to the crustal growth of northern Gondwana. The analysed Cambrian rocks were sampled along the southern margin of the Coimbra–Cordoba shear zone (Barquete granite and Crato...

New geochemical and geochronological data of early Cambrian of (SW Iberia): Cal...

The Ossa-Morena Zone (SW Iberia) displays a well-preserved record of the history of the northern Gondwana margin in Late Ediacaran-Early Cambrian times. This period of time is marked by the late-stage evolution of the Cadomian magmatic arc and related back-arc basins (c. 590-545 Ma), and the onset of rifting and widespread magmatism (c. 530-500 Ma) that led to the opening of the Rheic Ocean. Here we present new...

Rift-related volcanism predating the birth of the Rheic Ocean

Two very different periods of magma emplacement in the crust of the Ossa-Morena zone (early and main events) in SW Iberia have been previously interpreted to record a Cambrian/Early Ordovician rifting event that is thought to have culminated in the opening of the Rheic Ocean during the Early Ordovician. New stratigraphic, petrographic, geochemical and Sm–Nd isotope data from Cambrian volcanic rocks included in ...
