Hornbrook Formation, Oregon And California: A Sedimentary Record Of The Late Cretaceous Sierran Magmatic Flare-Up Event, Kathleen D. Surpless Jul 2016

Hornbrook Formation, Oregon And California: A Sedimentary Record Of The Late Cretaceous Sierran Magmatic Flare-Up Event, Kathleen D. Surpless

Kathleen D. Surpless

Early Late Cretaceous time was characterized by a major magmatic flare-up event in the Sierra Nevada batholith and early phases of magmatism in the Idaho batholith, but the sedimentary record of this voluminous magmatism in the U.S. Cordillera is considerably less conspicuous. New detrital zircon U-Pb ages from the Hornbrook Formation in southern Oregon and northern California reveal a significant and sustained influx of 100–85 Ma detrital zircons into the broader Hornbrook region beginning ca. 90 Ma. Detrital zircon ages and hafnium isotopic compositions, combined with whole-rock geochemistry, suggest that sediment was largely derived from the Sierra Nevada, requiring uplift …
