    Notes: The Pinos terrane (Isle of Pines, W Cuba) is a coherent metamorphic complex that probably represents a portion of the continental margin of the Yucatan Block during the Mesozoic. Within the framework of other metamorphic terranes in the Greater Antilles, the Pinos terrane is characterized by the occurrence of high-grade kyanite-, sillimanite- and andalusite-bearing metapelites and migmatites. Assessment and modelling of phase relations in these high grade rocks indicate that they reached a peak temperature of c. 750 °C at 11–12 kbar, and then underwent strong decompression to c. 3 kbar at c. 600 °C. Decompression was contemporaneous with the main synmetamorphic deformation in the area (D2), and was accompanied by segregation of trondhjemitic partial melts formed by wet melting of metapelites. Metamorphism terminated in the Uppermost Cretaceous (68 ± 2 Ma; 40Ar/39Ar dates on biotite and muscovite). The P–T–t-deformation relations of the high-grade rocks suggest that crustal thickening (during collision of this portion of the Yucatan margin with the Great Volcanic Arc of the Caribbean?) was followed by decompression interpreted to reflect exhumation by extension, possibly related to the initial development of the Yucatan Basin in the uppermost Cretaceous.

    Notes: Exotic blocks of eclogite from distant localities along the Northern Serpentinite Melange of Cuba have comparable P–T histories that include high-pressure prograde sections (450–600 °C, 〉15 kbar) associated with subduction of oceanic lithosphere, and retrograde sections within the albite–epidote amphibolite facies (〈500 °C, 〈10 kbar) related to melange uplift. 40Ar/39Ar and Rb/Sr cooling ages (118–103 Ma) of one of the blocks indicate pre-Aptian subduction and Aptian–Albian uplift. Detailed X-ray imaging and profiling further reveals that minerals in these eclogite blocks (notably garnet and amphibole) display subtle but well defined oscillatory zoning that developed along the prograde trajectory of the rocks, previous to attainment of peak eclogitic conditions. The chemistry (e.g. coupled changes of Mg# and Mn in garnet, and of Si, Ti, Al and Na in amphibole) and geometry (euhedral to anhedral shapes) of the oscillations can be interpreted in terms of subtle fluctuations in P–T during the general prograde subduction-related metamorphic path. A (near-) equilibrium model is presented for the formation of oscillations at near peak conditions by means of recurrent dissolution-growth reaction processes. This model for near-peak conditions, and the chemical signatures of earlier oscillations (notably in amphibole), suggest that episodes of retrogression (upward movement?) affected parts of the subducting slab. It is proposed that these retrograde episodes record the tectonic rupture of the subducting slab and, probably, of the upper plate mantle, either due to the intrinsic dynamic behaviour of subduction systems or to the effects of the plate-tectonic rearrangement of the Caribbean region during the Early Cretaceous.

    Notes: High-pressure (HP) metabasites from the Sancti Spiritus dome (Escambray massif, Central Cuba) have been studied in order to better understand the origin and evolution of the Northern Caribbean boundary plate during the Cretaceous, in a global subduction context. Geochemical and petrological studies of these eclogites reveal two groups with contrasting origins and pre-subduction metamorphic histories. Eclogites collected from exotic blocks within serpentinite (mélange zone) originated from a N-MORB type protolith, do not record pre-eclogitic metamorphic history. Conversely eclogites intercalated in Jurassic metasedimentary rocks (non-mélange zone) have a calc-alkaline arc-like origin and yield evidence for a pre-subduction metamorphic event in the amphibolite facies. However, all the studied Escambray eclogites underwent the same eclogitic peak (around 600 °C at 16 kbar), and followed a cold thermal gradient during their exhumation (estimated at around 13.5 °C km−1), which can suggest that this exhumation was coeval with subduction. Concordant geochronological data (Rb/Sr and Ar/Ar) support that the main exhumation of HP/LT rocks from the Sancti Spiritus dome occurred at 70 Ma by top to SW thrusting. The retrograde trajectory of these rocks suggests that the north-east subduction of the Farallon plate continued after 70 Ma. The set-off to the exhumation can be correlated with the beginning of the collision between the Bahamas platform and the Cretaceous island arc that induced a change of the subduction kinematics. The contrasting origin and ante-subduction history of the analysed samples imply that the Escambray massif consists of different geological units that evolved in different environments before their amalgamation during exhumation to form the present unit III of the massif.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract A discussion is made on the general significance of an Early Miocene (22–23 Ma, K/Ar dating) basaltic dike swarm that outcrops within large areas of the central and western Betic Zone of the Betic Cordilleras (Southern Spain). This dike swarm is thought to represent the remains of one of the earliest magmatic episodes within the the Neogene volcanic province that is associated with the late orogenic evolution of the Alboran region, and undoubtedly offers the best preserved igneous material related to this early stage that is known at present. The dike rocks (hypabyssal equivalents of andesitic basalts and basaltic andésites) have both major and trace-element abundance patterns that are akin to those of arc-tholeiitic suites. The field relationships and areal distribution of the dike swarm suggest, on the other hand, that a major E-W-trending rifting belt could have been developing within the Alboran Block in oligo-miocene times, previous to its collision with adjacent continental borderlands in the Early-Middle Miocene. Because of their magmatic character and wide distribution, it is proposed that these dike rocks may be regarded as an indication of the existence of roughly contemporaneous (Oligo-Miocene) Benioff-Wadati zone activity under the Alboran Area, which also points towards the previous existence of subductable lithosphere in its surroundings. The main dilatational vector during dike emplacement was already normal to the present E-W stretching of the Alboran Basin proper, which also adds to the possibility that the latter had already started to individualize tectonically in Oligo-Miocene times, and that some of its present crustal features, especially a prominent E-W-trending pattern of magnetic anomalies, had been generated in relation with the dike event. Continued postcollisional Middle Miocene to Pliocene calc-alkaline to ultrapotassic volcanism in the same area could hence have resulted from decompression partial melting of an already contaminated, and still thermally anomalous, mantle wedge, connected with the occurrence of traverse strike-slip and extensional deep faulting within a crustal segment that stretches from southeastern Spain to Morocco.
    Abstract: Resumen Se hace una discusión sobre la significación general de un enjambre de diques (22–23 M.a., datación K/Ar) que aflora en una amplia extensión de la Zona Bética (Cordilleras Béticas, España Meridional). Este enjambre de diques représenta probablemente uno de los primeras episodios magmáticos dentro de la provincia volcánica neógena asociada a la evolución orogénica tardia de la región del Mar de Alborán, y ofrece en todo caso el material igneo mejor preservado en relación con este estadio de los conocidos hasta el presente. Las rocas que constituyen los diques (equivalentes hipoabisales de basaltos andesiticos y andesitas basálticas) poseen caracteres geoquímicos tanto de elementos mayores como de trazas que son afines a los de las series toleáticas de arcos insulares. Su distribución areal y relaciones de campo indican, por otra parte, que una banda dilatacional podría haberse estado desarrollando en el área de Alborán en tiempos oligo-miocenos, con anterioridad a la colisión del Bloque de Alborán con las áreas continentales adyacentes en el Mioceno Inferior-Medio. A causa tanto de su afinidad magmática como de su amplia distribución areal, estas rocas vienen a indicar la existencia, contemporánea, de una zona de Benioff-Wadati activa bajo la región de Alborán y, por ende, la presencia previa de litosfera subducible en sus inmediaciones. El principal vector dilatacional durante la intrusión de los diques era ya normal a la actual elongación de la cuenca de Alborán, lo cual también sugiere la posibilidad de que aquella hubiese comenzado a individualizarse tectónicamente durante el Oligoceno ó Mioceno Inferior. En tal caso el episodio volcńico representado por los diques podría explicar algunas de las características de la corteza subyacente a esta cuenca, y en especial la existencia de una prominente red de anomalias magnéticas de dirección E-W, paralela a la red de dikes. El desarrollo posterior del volcanismo en esta provincia podria haber resultado de la fusión partial de una zona del manto previamente contaminada, y aún térmicamente anómala, en conexión con la actuación de desgarres y fracturación distensiva en una banda litosférica que se extiende desde el sureste de la peninsula ibérica hasta Marruecos.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Über die generelle Bedeutung einer Vielzahl von Gängen (22–23 Ma, K/Ar-Datierung) wird diskutiert, die in einem weiten Gebiet der Betischen Zone aufgeschlossen sind. Diese Vielzahl von Gängen repräsentiert wahrscheinlich eine der ersten magmatischen Episoden innerhalb der vulkanischen neogenen Provinz, welche mit der späten tektonischen Entwicklung der Region des Alboranischen Meeres verbunden ist. Diese Gänge bieten in jedem Fall das besterhaltene magmatische Material, verglichen mit denen, die man bis jetzt kennt. Die Gesteine, die diese Gänge bilden (hypoabyssiche Aequivalente andesitischer Basalte und basaltischer Andesite), besitzen ebenso Hauptelemente wie auch Spurenelemente, die den Tholeiit-Serien der Inselbögen ähnlich sind. Ihre Flächenverteilung und Feldbeziehungen geben auch an, daß ein ausgedehnter Gürtel in der Zone von Alboran in oligo-miozänen Zeiten in Entwicklung war, bevor sich der Zusammenstoß des sogenannten Alboranblocks mit der naheliegenden Kontinentalzone im unteren-mittleren Miozän produzierte. Diese Gesteine geben das gleichzeitige Vorhandensein einer Benioff-Wadati-Zone aktiv unter der Region von Alboran an, sowohl auf Grund ihres magmatischen Aussehens wie auch auf Grund ihrer weiten Flächenverteilung, und deshalb zeigen sie auch die vorige Existenz subduktionsfähiger Lithosphäre in ihrer Nähe. Der Hauptdilatationsvektor war schon während der Intrusion der Gänge normal zur jetzigen Elongation des Alboran-Beckens gerichtet, was auch vermuten läßt, daß jenes Becken schon während des Oligozäns oder des unteren Miozäns begonnen hatte, sich tektonisch zu individualisieren. In diesem Fall könnte die durch die Gänge repräsentierte vulkanische Episode einige der Charakteristika der dem Becken unterliegenden Kruste erklären und speziell das Vorhandensein eines wichtigen Netzes von magnetischen Anomalien, das Ost-West verläuft. Die spätere Entwicklung des Vulkanismus in dieser Provinz konnte sich aus der Partialschmelzung einer vorher kontaminierten und sogar thermisch anomalen Zone des Mantels ergeben haben, verbunden mit dem Wirken von Verwerfungen und zerrenden Brüchen in einem lithosphärischen Gürtel, der sich vom Südosten der Iberischen Halbinsel bis Marokko ausbreitet.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Generalized development of calc-silicate bands in several alpujarride units of the central and western segments of the Betic Zone, is interpreted as the result of metamorphic differentiation from original calcium-rich sedimentary beds in the sequence. Presence of Scapolite suggests that this phenomenon may have been made possible by the catalizing action of high anion concentrations in the pore fluid medium during metamorphism, probably caused by the existence of evaporic material in the original sediments. This hypothesis, which is further supported by anomalous high Ca, Na and K contents of the enclosing metapelites, leads to the correlation of the present calc-silicate bearing metamorphic formations with well-known permo-werfenian evaporitic series in other units of the Betic Zone. The use of this new criterion of stratigraphic correlation would indicate that highly metamorphosed permo-triassic sequences have often been misidentified as more ancient formations, thus causing an underestimation of the importance of alpine HT-LP metamorphism in the alpujarride tectonic domain.
    Abstract: Resumen El desarrollo bastante generalizado de bandas de silicatos calcicos, entre los cuales se encuentra a veces una escapolita, en varias unidades alpujárrides de los segmentos central y occidental de la Zona Bética, es interpretado como el resultado de un proceso de diferenciación metamórfica a partir de lechos sedimentarios originalmente ricos en calcio. La presencia de escapolita sugiere que este hecho ha sido probablemente posible gracias a la existencia de una alta concentración de aniones en el fluido metamórfico intergranular, condicionada por la existencia de material evaporitico en los sedimentos originales. Esta última hipótesis que es ulteriormente apoyada por un contenido anómalamente alto de cationes solubles (Ca, Na, K) en las metapelitas encajantes, permite correlacionar las formaciones que contienen los lechos de silicatos calcicos con conocidas series evaporiticas de edad permowerfenense en otras unidades de la Zona Bética. La aplicación de este nuevo criterio de correlación estratigráfica sugiere que series permotriásicas altamente metamorfizadas han sido a menudo erróneamente interpretadas como más antiguas, hecho que ha conllevado a una substimación de la importancia del metamorfismo (BP-AT) alpino en el dominio tectónico alpujárride.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Das häufige Auftreten von Kalksilikatbändern (manchmal mit Skapolith) in einigen alpujarriden Einheiten, besonders im zentralen und westlichen Abschnitt der betischen Kordillere, wird erklärt als Ergebnis einer metamorphen Differentiation von ursprünglich Ca-reichen Schichten. Die Anwesenheit von Skapolith legt eine hohe Anionenkonzentration der intergranularen fluiden Phasen während der Metamorphose nahe, bedingt durch evaporitisches Material der ursprünglichen Sedimente. Diese Hypothese, zusätzlich gestützt durch den extrem hohen Gehalt der umgebenden Pelite an löslichen Kathionen (Ca, Na, K), erlaubt die Korrelation der Kalksilikatbänder-haltigen Formationen mit aus anderen betischen Einheiten bekannten evaporitischen Serien des Permowerfenïan. Auf die stratigraphische Korrelation angewendet, legt dies nahe, daß öfters hochmetamorphe, permotriadische Serien fälschlicherweise als älter betrachtet wurden, was zu einer Unterschätzung der alpinen Metamorphose (Niederdruck-Hochtemperatur) im alpujarridem Bereich führte.
