Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A series of northeast-trending plutons extending from northeastern Massachusetts to southeastern Maine intruded the metasedimenlary rocks of the Merrimack belt. The Early Devonian Dracut, Sweepstakes, Island Pond. Exeter, and Webhannet plutons are metaluminous and, with the exception of the granitie Webhannet pluton, are dominantly mafic to intermediate in composition. The plutons are calc-alkaline in character and have major, minor, and trace clement compositions typical of magmas generated at destructive plate margins. These characteristics include mid- to high-K contents, enrichment of LII.E, LREE, Ba. and Sr. and negative Nb and Ta anomalies.
 
 Whole-rock chemical data indicate that the plutons of the Merrimack belt arc similar in every measured geochemical parameter to ca. 400 Ma mafic to intermediate rocks of the New Hampshire Plutonic Suite. These similarities suggest that both groups of plutons were emplaced within the same magmatic arc and belong to the same magmatic suite. A magmatic suite common to both the Merrimack belt and Central Maine terrane suggests that the two lithotectonic zones were proximal to each other at ca. 400 Ma. Trace element differences between Merrimack belt and Sharpners Pond rocks suggest (hat the Putnam-Nashoba terrane represents a separate arc.
 
 Located in the Central Maine terrane of New Hampshire, the Rochester pluton is geochemically distinct from the Siluro-Devonian plutons of the Merrimack belt and New Hampshire Plutonic Suite. The Rochester pluton has alkaline affinities but retains overall calc-alkaline features. High concentrations of incompatible elements (K, Ti, P, Ba, Rb, Zr) in the Rochester pluton are markedly similar to those observed in the 360 Ma Hardwick Tonalite of Massachusetts. The strong geochemical correlation between the Rochester and Hardwick plutons implies derivation from the same magmatic event and a common, Late Devonian origin. We suggest that these plutons may have originated in response to pull-apart rifting related to late-stage Acadian transpression.
 
 RÉSUMÉ
 Une série de plutons orientée vers Ie nord-est s'élendant du nord-est du Massachusetts au sud-est du Maine, fait intrusion dans les roches métasédimentaires de la ceinture de Merrimack. Les plutons du Devonien inférieur Dracut Sweepstakes. Island Pond. Exeter et Webhannet constituent des intrusions métalumincuses et, mis à part le pluton granitique Webhannet, ils ont une composition en prédominance mafique à intermédiare. Les plutons ont une conformation calco-alcalinc et leur composition du point de vue des principaux éléments présents, de ceux présents en quantité restreinie et des éléments traces est représentative des magmas produits aux frontièrs de plaques destructives. Leurs caractéristiques component nolamment une teneur movenne à élevée en potassium, un enrichissement en LILEen éléments de terres rares légères. en BA et en SR. de mème que des anomalies négatives de Nb et Ta.
 
 Les données de la roche totale révèlent que les plutons de la ceinture de Merrimack sont semblables. sous le rapport de chacun des paramètres géochimiques mesurés. aux magmas mafiques à intermédiaires d'il y a environ 400 Ma du cortège plutonique du New Hampshire. Ces similarités permeltent de supposer que les deux groupes de plutons ont été insérès à l’intérieur du mème arc magmatique et qu'ils appartienment au mème cortège magmatique. L'existence d'un cortège magmatique commun à la ceinture de Merrimack et au terrane de Central Maine permet de supposer que les deux zones lithotectoniques étaient proximales I'une de 1'autre il y a environ 400 Ma. Les différences par rapport aux éléments traces entre les magmas de la ceinture de Merrimack et ccux de Sharpners Pond laissent supposer que le terrane de Putnam-Nashoba rcprisenie un arc distinct
 
 Le pluton Rochester, situé dans le terrane de Central Maine du New Hampshire, est géochimiquement distinct des plutons siluro-dévoniens de la ceinture de Merrimack et du cortège plutonique du New Hampshire. Le pluton Rochester présente des affinités alcalines tout en conservant ses carectéristiques calco-alcalines générales. Les concentrations élevées d'éléments incompatibles (K, Ti, P, Ba, Rb, Zr) dans le pluton Rochester sont manifestement semblables à celles observers dans la tonalite d'il y a 360 Ma de Hardwick, au Massachusetts. La correlation géochimique prononcée entre les plutons Rochester et Hardwick suppose qu'ils découlent du mème phénoméne magmatique et qu'ils ont une origine commune remontant au Dévonien supérieur. Nous pensons que ces plutons tirent probablement leur origine d'une réaction a une distension d'écartemcnt apparentée à une transpression acadienne tardive.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
