ECOLOGICAL AND HYDROCLIMATE RESPONSES TO
STRENGTHENING OF THE HADLEY CIRCULATION IN SOUTH AMERICA DURING THE LATE MIOCENE COOLING
This paper analyzes the Late Miocene continental record of hydroclimate from the central Andes and subsequent ecologi-cal response to climatic change during this interval. The Late Miocene cooling (LMC) is characterized by a sharp decrease (up to 6 °C) of sea-surface temperatures and has been shown to have driven ecosystem reorganization, leading to conditions similar to Quaternary. We use the stable isotopic record pre-served in pedogenic carbonate nodules as a proxy for hydro-climate changes during the LMC. This, combined with general circulation simulations, shows that strengthening of the Hadley circulation in South America during the LMC enhanced sub-tropical aridification and in turn promoted expansion of C4 grasses and evolution of high-crowned teeth in mammals.
EARLY INCEPTION OF THE LARAMIDE OROGENY IN SOUTHWESTERN
MONTANA AND NORTHERN WYOMING: IMPLICATIONS
FOR MODELS OF FLAT‐SLAB SUBDUCTION
2019 JGR 10.1029/2018JB016888
Timing and distribution of magmatism, deformation, exhumation, and basin development
have been used to reconstruct the history of Laramide flat‐slab subduction under North America during
Late Cretaceous‐early Cenozoic time. Existing geodynamic models, however, ignore a large (~40,000‐km2)
sector of the Laramide foreland in southwestern Montana. The Montana Laramide ranges consist of
Archean basement arches (fault‐propagation folds) that were elevated by thrust and reverse faults. We
present new thermochronological and geochronological data from six Laramide ranges in southwestern
Montana (the Beartooth, Gravelly, Ruby and Madison Ranges, and the Tobacco Root and Highland
Mountains) that show significant cooling and exhumation during the Early to mid‐Cretaceous, much earlier
than the record of Laramide exhumation in Wyoming. These data suggest that Laramide‐style
deformation‐driven exhumation slightly predates the eastward sweep of magmatism in western Montana,
consistent with geodynamic models involving initial strain propagation into North American cratonic rocks
due to stresses associated with a northeastward expanding region of flat‐slab subduction. Our results also
indicate various degrees of Cenozoic heating and cooling possibly associated with westward rollback of the
subducting Farallon slab, followed by Basin‐and‐Range extension.
THE TAJIK BASIN: A COMPOSITE RECORD OF SEDIMENTARY BASIN EVOLUTION IN RESPONSE TO TECTONICS IN THE PAMIR
2019 Basin Research
Investigation of a >6‐km‐thick succession of Cretaceous to Cenozoic sedimentary rocks in the Tajik Basin reveals that this depocentre consists of three stacked basin systems that are interpreted to reflect different mechanisms of subsidence associated with tectonics in the Pamir Mountains: a Lower to mid‐Cretaceous succession, an Upper Cretaceous–Lower Eocene succession and an Eocene–Neogene succession. The Lower to mid‐Cretaceous succession consists of fluvial deposits that were primarily derived from the Triassic Karakul–Mazar subduction–accretion complex in the northern Pamir. This succession is characterized by a convex‐up (accelerating) subsidence curve, thickens towards the Pamir and is interpreted as a retroarc foreland basin system associated with northward subduction of Tethyan oceanic lithosphere. The Upper Cretaceous to early Eocene succession consists of fine‐grained, marginal marine and sabkha deposits. The succession is characterized by a concave‐up subsidence curve. Regionally extensive limestone beds in the succession are consistent with late stage thermal relaxation and relative sea‐level rise following lithospheric extension, potentially in response to Tethyan slab rollback/foundering. The Upper Cretaceous–early Eocene succession is capped by a middle Eocene to early Oligocene (ca. 50–30 Ma) disconformity, which is interpreted to record the passage of a flexural forebulge. The disconformity is represented by a depositional hiatus, which is 10–30 Myr younger than estimates for the initiation of India–Asia collision and overlaps in age with the start of prograde metamorphism recorded in the Pamir gneiss domes. Overlying the disconformity, a >4‐km‐thick upper Eocene–Neogene succession displays a classic, coarsening upward unroofing sequence characterized by accelerating subsidence, which is interpreted as a retro‐foreland basin associated with crustal thickening of the Pamir during India–Asia collision. Thus, the Tajik Basin provides an example of a long‐lived composite basin in a retrowedge position that displays a sensitivity to plate margin processes. Subsidence, sediment accumulation and basin‐forming mechanisms are influenced by subduction dynamics, including periods of slab‐shallowing and retreat.
