Fluid-inclusion and thermochronometric analyses have been applied to hydrothermal alteration zones and their host rocks outcropping in the Hongu area of the Kii Peninsula, southwestern Japan in an attempt to detect thermal anomalies related to hydrothermal events and quantify the thermal effects on the host rocks. Hydrothermal events at ca 150 deg. C and ca 200 deg. C were identified by fluid-inclusion microthermometry of quartz veins in the alteration zones. For the host rocks and alteration zones, in the youngest population zircon yielded U-Pb dates ranging between ca 74.7-59.2 Ma, fission-track dates of ca 27.2-16.6 Ma, and (U-Th)/He single-grain dates of ca 23.6-8.7 Ma. Apatite yielded pooled fission-track ages of ca 14.9-9.0 Ma. The zircon U-Pb dates constrain the maximum depositional ages of the sedimentary samples. However, the fission-track and (U-Th)/He dates show no clear trend as a function of distance from the alteration zones. Hence, no thermal anomaly was detected in the surrounding host rocks based on the thermochronometric data patterns. The fission-track and (U-Th)/He dates are rather thought to record regional thermal and exhumation histories rather than a direct thermal imprint of fluid flow, probably because the duration of such activity was too short or because fluid flow occurred before regional cooling events and were later thermally overprinted. Apatite fission-track ages of ca 10 Ma may reflect regional mountain uplift and exhumation related to the obduction of the SW Japan lithospheric sliver onto the Shikoku Basin, or the rapid subduction of the Philippine Sea slab associated with the clockwise rotation of the Southwest Japan Arc.

First report of geo- and thermochronological results from the Cordillera Central, Luzon, Philippines

Geo- and thermochronological methods were applied to dioritic rocks from the Cordillera Central, Luzon, Philippines, to understand their emplacement and exhumation history in the island arc mountains. Zircon U-Pb ages range from 32.54 $$pm$$ 0.70 to 6.11 $$pm$$ 0.15 (2SE) Ma, indicating that dioritic magmas intruded the middle and upper crust intermittently during Tertiary magmatism. Zircon fission-track (ZFT) pooled ages range from 35.63 $$pm$$ 2.17 to 6.91 $$pm$$ 0.36 (2SE) Ma, and are generally comparable with the U-Pb ages at each locality. These results suggest that the diorites cooled rapidly below 250-350 degree, (i.e. through the partial annealing zone of the ZFT system), following their intrusion. On the other hand, the zircon and apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He (ZHe and AHe) weighted mean ages, ranging from 11.71 $$pm$$ 0.36 to 8.82 $$pm$$ 0.26 and 9.21 $$pm$$ 0.52 to 0.98 $$pm$$ 0.088 (2SE) Ma respectively, indicate a decrease in cooling rates at a lower temperature range, especially through the partial retention zone of the AHe system. This observation suggests that the ZFT ages reflect initial cooling of the dioritic magma, whereas the AHe ages reflect the cooling history associated with regional exhumation following the initial cooling phase. Spatial distribution of the AHe ages suggest that rapid exhumation of the Cordillera Central during the Quaternary resulted from the block-like uplift of the entire mountain range.

Evaluation of potential age standards for zircon (U-Th)/He thermochronometry; Results from further chronometric investigations

Fukuda, Shoma; Kohn, B. P.*; Sueoka, Shigeru; Danhara, Toru*; Iwano, Hideki*; Tagami, Takahiro*

Fisshion, Torakku Nyusureta, (35), p.7 - 10, 2022/12

In order to establish the age standard of zircon (U-Th)/He method, we performed zircon (U-Th)/He (hereinafter, ZHe) dating on 4 zircon samples. In this presentation, the Nohi rhyolite and the Mt. Wasso moonstone rhyolite as domestic samples, and Mt. Dromedary and OD-3 were also adopted as age standard zircons of fission-track and U-Pb methods. Consequently, regarding the ZHe age of the Nohi rhyolite indicated younger, which possibly reflected secondary heating, while ones of the others indicated consistent with previous thermochronometric data. Integrated with previously obtained ZHe data about 7 samples, the Utaosa rhyolite in the previous study showed a small age dispersion in grain ages, which infers a suitable candidate for the ZHe age standard. As future prospects, we are planning to conduct geochemical analyses and structure observations of these zircons for exploring the causal factors in age dispersions.

The South Fossa Magna zone, central Japan, has been an active collision zone between the Honshu Arc and the Izu-Bonin Arc since the middle Miocene and provides an excellent setting for reconstructing the earliest stages of continent formation. Multi-system geo-thermochronometry was applied to different domains of the South Fossa Magna zone, together with some previously published data, to reveal mountain formation processes, i.e., vertical crustal movements. Nine granitic samples yielded zircon U-Pb ages of 10.2-5.8 Ma ($$n$$ = 2), apatite (U-Th)/He (AHe) ages of 42.8-2.6 Ma ($$n$$ = 7), and apatite fission-track (AFT) ages of 44.1-3.0 Ma ($$n$$ = 9). Thermal history inversion modeling based on the AHe and AFT data suggested rapid cooling events confined within the study region at $$sim$$6-2 Ma. The Kanto Mountains may have undergone a domal uplift in association with their collision with the Tanzawa Block at $$sim$$5 Ma. However, this uplift may have slowed down following the migration of the plate boundary and late Pliocene termination of the Tanzawa collision. The Minobu Mountains and possibly adjacent mountains may have been uplifted by the motional change of the Philippine Sea plate at $$sim$$3 Ma. Therefore, the mountain formation in the South Fossa Magna zone was mainly controlled by collisions of the Tanzawa and Izu Blocks and motional change of the Philippine Sea plate. Earlier collisions of the Kushigatayama Block at $$sim$$13 Ma and Misaka Block at $$sim$$10 Ma appeared to have had little effect on mountain formation. Together with a $$sim$$90 deg. clockwise rotation of the Kanto Mountains at 12-6 Ma, these observations suggest that horizontal deformation predominated during the earlier stage of arc-arc collision, and vertical movements due to buoyancy resulting from crustal shortening and thickening developed at a later stage.

Exploration of the age standard zircon for (U-Th)/He method; Chronometric investigations of the Nisatai Dacite

Fukuda, Shoma; Sueoka, Shigeru; Kanno, Mizuho; Kohn, B. P.*; Tagami, Takahiro*

Fisshion, Torakku Nyusureta, (34), p.9 - 13, 2021/12

In order to explore suitable zircon samples as standard minerals for the zircon (U-Th)/He (namely, ZHe) method, we have attempted to conduct ZHe analyses of the Nisatai dacite sampled in Iwate prefecture. Previous researches reported solid ages at 22-21 Ma and a rapid cooling pattern based on various geochronometric investigations, which inferred a potential of an age standard for ZHe method. Consequently, ZHe ages in this study yielded at 21.5 $$pm$$ 0.2 Ma having wide dispersion of grain ages from 40 Ma to 15 Ma, probably caused by random errors. As possible causes of age dispersion, the zoning of parent nuclei in a crystal and the heterogeneous rock pieces revealed by observations of thin-section are considerable. Therefore, the Nisatai dacite was concluded as unsuitable sample for the ZHe age standard. However, geochronologic data of other methods showed comparable ages such as zircon fission-track and U-Pb method, the Nisatai dacite may be used as these age standards. We will continue to explore another candidates for ZHe age standard, e.g., U-Pb age standards.

Multi-system thermochronometries were applied to the Izu collision zone, an active arc-arc collision zone in the central Japan, in order to reveal the mountain formation process. Nine granitic samples yielded zircon U-Pb ages of 10.2-5.8 Ma (n = 2), apatite (U-Th)/He ages of 42.8-2.6 Ma (n = 7), and apatite fission-track (AFT) ages of 44.1-3.0 Ma (n = 9). Thermal inversion analyses based on the AFT data suggest rapid cooling events at ca 5 Ma and 1 Ma in the collision zone and no such thermal/tectonic effect out of the zone. The Kanto Mountains are thought to be uplifted domally associated with the collision of the Tanzawa Block at ca 5 Ma. The Minobu Mountains and possibly the adjacent mountains could be uplifted by the collision of the Izu Block at ca 1 Ma. Mountain formation in the Izu collision zone is mainly controlled by the collisions of crustal blocks of the Izu-Bonin Arc and motional change of the Philippine Sea plate.
