Early Cretaceous to Cenozoic Growth of the Patagonian Andes as Revealed by Low‐Temperature Thermochronology

Abstract: A complex interaction of endogenous and exogenous processes took place in the Southern Patagonian Andes (SPA) at the latitude of the Chile triple junction (CTJ) (Figure 1), resulting from Cretaceous-Miocene tectonic crustal shortening and thickening in a geodynamic setting involving the subduction of oceanic ridges and late Miocene-Quaternary glaciations (e.g.,

“…We present new apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He (AHe and ZHe) thermochronological data sets from two of the most emblematic massifs of the Southern Patagonia Andes: the Fitz Roy (FzR, 49°S) and Torres del Paine (TdP, 51°S) (Figures 1-4). These massifs were emplaced around 16.7 ± 0.3 Ma (Ramírez de Arellano et al, 2012) and 12.5 ± 0.1 Ma (Leuthold et al, 2012), respectively, in the regions swept by the CTJ passage during the Late Miocene, and thus may have recorded the earlier effects of ridge collision and subduction, besides those of late Cenozoic glaciation (Andrić-Tomašević et al, 2021;Ávila et al, 2023;Christeleit et al, 2017;Fosdick et al, 2013;Georgieva et al, 2016Georgieva et al, , 2019Guillaume et al, 2009Guillaume et al, , 2013Ramos, 2005;Ronda et al, 2022;Stevens Goddard & Fosdick, 2019;Thomson et al, 2001;Willett et al, 2020). Additionally, we present new apatite 4 He/ 3 He thermal modeling for the TdP massif, which resolves the latest stage of rock cooling and provides additional insights into the Pliocene-Pleistocene rock exhumation history of the area.…”

“…In either case, plate reorganization associated with the early opening of the Drake Passage at 50 Ma can be linked to retroarc compressional deformation in the southern Patagonian Andes. North of our study area, ∼48–44°S, AHe, AFT, ZHe, and ZFT data sets and thermal history models incorporating AFT and ZHe data sets do not show evidence of Eocene–Oligocene exhumation and inferred deformation (Georgieva et al., 2016; Guillaume et al., 2013; Ronda et al., 2022; Thomson et al., 2001, 2010). It is possible that thermal history modeling incorporating data from a higher temperature thermochronometric system is required to identify this signal.…”

“…Thermochronological data revealed the advance of the exhumation of SPA from the western basement domain toward the eastern FTB (Ghiglione et al., 2016; Thomson et al., 2001). The thrusting of the eastern FTB accommodated the crustal thickening and widening of the orogenic wedge (Fosdick et al., 2011), resulting in a main phase of tectonic uplift between ∼22 and 18 Ma (Fosdick et al., 2013; Ronda et al., 2022). The late Oligocene to early Miocene tectonic deformation of SPA was accompanied by the extensive marine transgression, which first affected the present Atlantic coastline around 25 Ma (San Julian Formation).…”
