Lead isotopic fingerprinting of tectono-stratigraphic terranes, east-central Alaska Lead isotopic fingerprinting of tectono-stratigraphic terranes, east-central Alaska
Common lead isotopic compositions have been determined on feldspars from meta-igneous rocks from nine tectono-stratigraphic terranes or subterranes in east-central Alaska. Most of the terranes have distinct and well-defined signatures in terms of isotopic composition; thus, most can be distinguished on conventional lead isotopic diagrams. Lead isotopic ratios provide evidence for (1)...

Geochronology of augen gneiss and related rocks, Yukon-Tanana terrane, east-central Alaska Geochronology of augen gneiss and related rocks, Yukon-Tanana terrane, east-central Alaska
Using several isotopic techniques, we have determined the ages of selected metamorphic rocks in the Yukon-Tanana terrane (YTT) of east-central Alaska. U-Pb zircon data from an augen gneiss body in the Big Delta quadrangle indicate that the granitoid protolith of the gneiss was intruded 341 ± 3 m.y. ago (lower intercept age). An upper intercept age of 2,136 ± 31 m.y. indicates an...

Petrology and tectonic significance of augen gneiss from a belt of Mississippian granitoids in the Yukon-Tanana terrane, east- central Alaska Petrology and tectonic significance of augen gneiss from a belt of Mississippian granitoids in the Yukon-Tanana terrane, east- central Alaska
An approximately E-W-trending belt of porphyritic peraluminous granitic rocks, metamorphosed and deformed to augen gneiss, is exposed for 400 km across the Yukon-Tanana terrain. Chemical, textural, and isotopic data from large augen-gneiss bodies indicate that these bodies originated as early Mississippian granitic rocks that assimilated, or were anatectically derived from, early...

Proterozoic zircon from augen gneiss, Yukon-Tanana Upland, east-central Alaska Proterozoic zircon from augen gneiss, Yukon-Tanana Upland, east-central Alaska
U-Th-Pb analyses of zircons from an ortho-augen gneiss body in the Yukon-Tanana Upland of east-central Alaska yield strong evidence for the presence of early Proterozoic material in this area. U-Pb data define a chord that intersects concordia at about 2,300 and 345 m.y. We consider two interpretations: (1) the protolith was intruded during the Proterozoic and was subsequently...
