    Description: We present new photographic, petrological, geochronological, and isotopic data for gneissic and granitic rocks obtained from six sample stations on Cavalli Seamount during two cruises in 2002. These data lead to revision of earlier conclusions based on two dredges of schist in 1999. Based on c. 100 Ma ages of zircon cores, and whole rock petrochemistry and tracer isotopes, we interpret the protoliths of paragneisses and orthogneisses to probably have been sedimentary and plutonic correlatives of the Late Cretaceous Houhora Complex. U‐Pb dating of low Th/U zircon rims confirms an earliest Miocene high‐grade metamorphic episode. A cooling history based on Ar‐Ar K‐feldspar dating indicates ultra‐rapid cooling (c. 2000°C/m.y.) and vertical exhumation (c. 100 mm/yr) of the rocks at 19.9 Ma. Our preferred tectonic model relates the amphibolite facies metamorphism to Northland Allochthon emplacement and the rapid exhumation to dextral transtension along the Vening Meinesz Fracture Zone system and/or a rapidly retreating Pacific trench.
