Further detrital zircon evidence for peri-Gondwanan blocks in the central Appalachian Piedmont Province, USA

Abstract: Evidence for exotic terranes in the central Appalachian Piedmont Province is fragmented between central Virginia, northern Maryland, and southeastern Pennsylvania. Here we present laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry data from detrital zircon that support the presence of an exotic terrane in this region. U–Pb dating of detrital zircon from new samples of the Storck quartzite (central Virginia) and the Hoods Mill rocks (northern Maryland) confirms the presence of a major peak at ca. 630–6… Show more

“…It is tectonically juxtaposed with the Corner Brook Lake Block of Proterozoic and Silurian crystalline rocks [1]. U-Pb zircon dating of the Steel Mountain complex has yielded both 1.14 Ga and 0.6 Ga ages [2]. In the adjacent Corner Brook Lake Block, basement gneisses give U-Pb zircon ages of 1.5 Ga [1], and there are well-dated Ediacaran granitoid plutons [2].…”

In the adjacent Corner Brook Lake Block, basement gneisses give U-Pb zircon ages of 1.5 Ga [1], and there are well-dated Ediacaran granitoid plutons [2]. The Steel Mountain complex is some 50 km long and consists principally of anorthosite and gabbronorite, previously mapped by van Berkel [11] and investigated mineralogically by Collins [12].…”
