- W2129346002 abstract "We present thermodynamic estimates of pressures, temperatures, and volatile activities in variably deformed, gabbroic to granitic, Cretaceous (115–100 Ma) batholithic and framework rocks of the Tehachapi Mountains, southernmost Sierra Nevada, California. Al contents of hornblende in granitoids imply igneous emplacement at ∼8 kbar in the southernmost Tehachapi Mountains, with lower pressures (3–7 kbar) to the north. Metamorphic pressures and temperatures for garnet‐bearing paragneisses and metaigneous rocks were estimated on the basis of garnet‐hornblende‐plagioclase‐quartz and garnet‐biotite‐plagioclase‐quartz thermobarometers. Disparate results for the metaigneous rocks from the latter system point to the difficulty of applying pelite‐based thermobarometers to rocks of contrasting composition and mineralogy. Preferred pressures cluster at 7.1–9.4 and 3.6–4.3 kbar. Incomplete knowledge of reaction histories, however, limits our interpretation of the lower pressures because they are minimum estimates. The ∼4‐kbar samples are all from a small area and, if our interpretation is correct, they imply a local, more shallow event superimposed on crust once residing at deeper structural levels. Garnet‐hornblende and garnet‐biotite temperatures are less coherent, likely owing to retrograde Fe‐Mg exchange, and range from 570° to 790°C, The majority of the rocks are igneous and affected by recrystallization and metamorphism during subsolidus cooling; they are not granulites. Country rock paragneisses are typically migmatized at “peak” metamorphic conditions near that of the wet granite solidus (>690°C). Veinlike paragenesis of garnet in the metaigneous rocks suggests formation related to the presence of a fluid phase. Thermodynamic estimates of volatile activities in these garnet‐bearing assemblages suggest variable, mostly CO 2 ‐rich fluid compositions, in the absence of any pervasive fluid flux. The igneous rocks of the Tehachapi Mountains were thus intruded at depths of ∼30 km, making them the deepest known exposed components of the Cretaceous Sierra Nevada batholith. Metamorphism occurred at these great depths and, perhaps, locally after ∼15 km of uplift before ∼87 Ma, implying an uplift rate of 1.2 mm/yr. (A minimum uplift rate is 0.6 mm/yr.) This original uplift and possible subsequent uplift events may have been related to underthrusting of a block of Rand Schist from what is now the southeast, with concomitant widespread ductile deformation. The deduced pressure‐temperature and uplift history is similar to those of high‐pressure/high‐temperature Cretaceous batholithic rocks in Salinia and the San Gabriel Mountains, but direct correlation is not wan‐anted. When compared with higher‐level intrusive rocks from analogous portions of the Sierra Nevada batholith to the north, the Tehachapi rocks reveal a deep batholith that is more heterogeneous and somewhat more mafic on average, but displaying a similar level of isotopic hybridization involving mantle and crustal sources. The batholith is quartz‐rich at these levels, suggestive of a weak, ductile middle crust susceptible to prolonged deformation and possible delamination." @default.
