“…There was then a period of general tectonic quiescence until Early Cretaceous intrusion of circa 140–120 Ma plutons in southwest and northern Fiordland [ Hollis et al , 2003; Gollan , 2006; Allibone et al , 2007], and emplacement of the batholithic Western Fiordland Orthogneiss (126–114 Ma) [ Allibone et al , 2009a; Bradshaw , 1990; Gibson et al , 1988; Mattinson et al , 1986; Tulloch and Kimbrough , 2003]. Western Fiordland Orthogneiss intrusion was accompanied by amphibolite to garnet granulite facies metamorphism [ Allibone et al , 2009a; Bradshaw , 1989; Brown , 1996; Clarke et al , 2000; Daczko et al , 2001a, 2001b, 2002; Daczko and Halpin , 2009; Gibson et al , 1988; Hollis et al , 2004; Scott et al , 2009a, 2009c], and followed regionally by extensional exhumation on detachment faults between 111 and 80 Ma [ Gibson et al , 1988; Klepeis et al , 2007; King et al , 2008; Kula et al , 2007; Scott and Cooper , 2006; Spell et al , 2000; Tulloch and Kimbrough , 1989].…”
