Refining temporal constraints on metamorphism in the Nashoba Terrane, southeastern New England, through monazite dating
2009
Overview
Electron-microprobe dating of monazite grains within high-grade mylonitic rocks of the Nashoba terrane in eastern Massachusetts provides new temporal constraints on metamorphism in southeastern New England. In situ dating of monazite grains from three fault zones has allowed the timing of multistage events to be discerned. Three distinct metamorphic events were detected in the Nashoba terrane. The first metamorphic event (M1) occurred from 435 to 400 Ma, with an average age of 423 Ma. A second metamorphic event (M2) occurred at ca. 390 Ma and was associated with widespread migmatization. A third metamorphic event (M3) occurred during the ca. 378-371 Ma time interval and was possibly associated with the Neoacadian orogeny. Intermittent monazite growth during the 360-305 Ma interval suggests that the main phase of metamorphism in the shear zones was complete, but the highly deformed fault zones acted as a conduit for fluid migration, which was responsible for the production of young monazite grains. By at least 345 Ma, the Nashoba terrane had cooled below the stability of sillimanite.
