Geochemical and geochronological record of the Andaman Ophiolite, SE Asia: From back-arc to forearc during subduction polarity reversal?

Abstract: Ophiolites are widely studied to unravel how new subduction zones form. They may contain crustal and mantle rocks that formed during juvenile stages of intra-oceanic subduction, modifying the pre-existing oceanic lithosphere within which subduction started, and in which a magmatic arc formed upon subduction maturation. Previous geochemical work on the Cretaceous Andaman Ophiolite and its metamorphic sole, located in the forearc of the Sunda subduction zone of south-east Asia, has revealed geochemical signature… Show more

“…Our analysis favors such a scenario. This would be comparable to the reconstruction of a subduction polarity reversal that followed upon the collision of the Woyla intraoceanic arc with Sundaland, on Sumatra, in the Cretaceous, and the coeval initiation of the Sunda subduction zone and the associated Andaman Ophiolites in the original back-arc basin (Advokaat et al, 2018;Bandyopadhyay et al, 2021;Plunder et al, 2020). In the Sumatra-Andaman system, the time span between the onset of the new and arrest of the old subduction zone is on the order of 10…”

“…The bulk rock geochemical analysis of 18 samples of the Andaman Ophiolite from the South Andaman is presented in Table 1. Sea region of previous studies Bandyopadhyay et al, 2020;Bhattacharya et al, 2013;Ghosh et al, 2014;Jafri et al, 1990;Jafri et al, 2010;Jafri & Sheikh, 2013;Pal, 2011;Pal et al, 2007;Pedersen et al, 2010;Ray et al, 1988;Sachin et al, 2017;Saha et al, 2020;Srivastava et al, 2004) = 57-63 wt% may be either due to the data gap or what is known as the Daly Gap (Daly, 1925). It can be a subject of investigation in future studies.…”

“…However, this region has been less explored due to its remoteness and inaccessibility. Most studies are on either the mantle rocks or the basic volcanics of the Andaman Ophiolite (Akhtar, Saikia, Negi, & Kalita, 2021;Bandyopadhyay et al, 2020). In this contribution, we investigate the geochemical makeup of the intermediate (basaltic-trachyandesites, trachyandesites) to acidic (dacite and rhyodacites) rocks of the Andaman Ophiolite, which is considered an extension of the Phanerozoic Indonesian-Myanmar orogenic belt (Figure 1a).…”
