- W2017103790 abstract "The Brooks Range is the northernmost orogenic belt in Alaska. From south to north it consists of a thin belt of oceanic basalt and chert, followed by two belts of high‐pressure/low‐temperature metamorphic rocks (the schist and central belts), a basement‐cored anticlinorium (the Doonerak Window), a fold and thrust belt, and a foreland basin (the Colville Basin). We have used apatite and zircon fission‐track (FT) and 40 Ar/ 39 Ar white mica analyses of a N‐S transect of the central Brooks Range to study the cooling history. These data are used with a balanced cross section to constrain the timing of deformational events in northern Alaska. The oldest cooling ages from this study were clusters of ∼185 Ma and ∼135 Ma zircon FT ages from the fold and thrust belt. Based on the similarity of the 185 Ma ages with the age of crystallization of the western Brooks Range ophiolites [ Wirth et al. , 1993], we suggest that the Brooks Range orogeny in northern Alaska had begun prior to this time. Cooling rates in the fold and thrust belt were very slow from 185 to 135 Ma, suggesting little or no deformation was occurring. Apatite and zircon FT analyses from the fold and thrust belt indicate that a substantial amount of cooling (caused by uplift and erosion) occurred from 135 to 95 Ma. We suggest that an increase in the rate of cooling at ∼135 Ma was caused by contractional deformation associated with renewed subduction with the opening of the Canada Basin. The 40 Ar/ 39 Ar white mica cooling ages of 130 to 120 Ma from the schist belt rocks of the southern Brooks Range indicate that peak metamorphism must have occurred prior to 130 Ma. An 40 Ar/ 39 Ar muscovite age of 113 Ma from the southernmost Brooks Range is interpreted to be the age of movement on normal faults juxtaposing lower‐grade phyllite belt rocks against schist belt rocks. At the same time, rapid deposition of Brooks Range‐derived sedimentary sequences began to the north, in the Colville foreland basin, and to the south, in the Yukon‐Koyukuk basin. Unstrained high‐level granitic plutons, which intruded the Yukon‐Koyukuk basin and Ruby terrane from 107 to 95 Ma, indicate the end of collision with the Yukon‐Koyukuk arc. By 95 Ma, cooling rates in the Brooks Range had slowed and little or no deformation was occurring. At 60 Ma, a major episode of rapid cooling occurred throughout northern Alaska, when the active plate margin in Alaska was more than 500 km to the south. In the Colville Basin, cooling was caused by thrust faulting and folding, and hence erosion, within the Albian‐age and younger sedimentary rocks. Within the interior of the Brooks Range, a large‐scale basement‐involved anticlinorium (the Doonerak Window) became active at this time. At 25 Ma, another episode of rapid cooling occurred within the Doonerak Window region. Both of these events may be related to shallow subduction of the Kula plate from the southern Alaskan plate margin." @default.
