SE Sundaland accretion: palaeomagnetic evidence of large Plio-Pleistocene thin-skin rotations in Buton

Abstract: The Tukang Besi Platform, an Australian microcontinental fragment, began docking with Sundaland in the Pliocene, impacting on east Buton (SE Sulawesi). Fortuin et al. (1989; Journal of SE Asian Earth Sciences, 4, 107-124) postulated that south Bnton had rotated clockwise through about 60 ° relative to central/north Buton in response to the Tukang Besi collision. A palaeomagnetic investigation was carried out to test this model. Some 41 (of 72) palaeomagnetic sites from the upper Neogene Tondo and Sampolakosa… Show more

“…Model 2 has no whole‐plate Philippine Sea rotation (Figures b and S7) and therefore implies that the majority (up to 80°) of published clockwise declinations were due to local small block rotations at the plate margins. As already discussed for Model 1, these rotations are within the realm of possibility [e.g., Ali et al , ; Lee et al , ; Weiler and Coe , , ] especially since Model 2 predicts that the Izu‐Bonin, Marianas, and Palau sites were located along a clockwise plate boundary shear zone (Figure b). Other minimal rotation Philippine Sea plate models also similarly infer large local block rotations at the Philippine Sea plate margins [e.g., Byrne and DiTullio , ; Jolivet et al , ; Seno and Maruyama , ; Zahirovic et al , ].…”

“…Declination data have been obtained primarily from the plate margins (Figure a), with two main tectonic interpretations: (1) clockwise rotation of the entire Philippine Sea plate [e.g., Hall et al , ; Haston et al , ; Keating and Helsley , ; Koyama et al , ; Yamazaki et al , ] or (2) clockwise rotation of local blocks at the Philippine Sea plate margins [e.g., Kodama et al , ; Zahirovic et al , ]. Local small block rotations have been documented at several sites around the Philippine Sea plate and surrounding areas, showing rotations of 15°–90° in 1–3 Ma [e.g., Ali et al , ; Lee et al , ; Weiler and Coe , , ]. Furthermore, some sites may not have been part of the Philippine Sea plate at the time of magnetization.…”

“…In fact, little is known about interglacials older than Marine Isotopic Stage 11 (MIS 11,360e420 ka); their timing, duration and number of high-stands would have remained unknown if isotope records were not partly alleviating our lack of knowledge (Emiliani, 1955;Shackleton, 1987;Waelbroeck et al, 2002;Lisiecki and Raymo, 2005;Bintanja and Van de Wal, 2008;Zachos et al, 2008;Rohling et al, 2009).
