“…Many studies of Proterozoic rocks in New Mexico contend that major folds and penetrative fabrics were formed during the Mazatzal orogeny and were locally reactivated and intensifi ed during the ca. 1400 Ma thermal event (Williams, 1991;Bauer, 1993;Bauer and Williams, 1994;Karlstrom et al, 1997Karlstrom et al, , 2004Pedrick et al, 1998;Read et al, 1999;Williams et al, 1999). Polyphase metamorphic pressure-temperature (P-T ) paths associated with this interpretation are characterized by a ca.…”

“…1700 Ma meta-rhyolite and possibly metadacite or granite intruding the lower parts of the Vadito Group or ca. 1700 Ma granitic plutons exposed in the Cimarron and Rincon Mountains (Bauer and Williams, 1989;Pedrick et al, 1998;Read et al, 1999 on August 24, 2013 gsabulletin.gsapubs.org Downloaded from detrital zircon age spectra for all of the Vadito Group samples (Figs. 5J-5L) and the lack of Meso protero zoic detrital zircons in the eastern quartzite (CD10-10) are consistent with placing it into the Vadito Group and not the Marqueñas Formation as shown by Bauer and Helper (1994).…”

Detrital zircon and igneous zircon U-Pb ages are reported from Proterozoic metamorphic rocks in northern New Mexico. These data give new insight into the provenance and depositional age of a >3-km-thick metasedimentary succession and help resolve the timing of orogenesis within an area of overlapping accretionary orogens and thermal events related to the Proterozoic tectonic evolution of southwest Laurentia. Three samples from the Paleoproterozoic Vadito Group yield narrow, unimodal detrital zircon age spectra with peak ages near 1710 Ma. Igneous rocks that intrude the Vadito Group include the Cerro Alto metadacite, the Picuris Pueblo granite, and the Peñasco quartz monzonite and yield crystallization ages of 1710 ± 10 Ma, 1699 ± 3 Ma, and 1450 ± 10 Ma, respectively. Within the overlying Hondo Group, a metamorphosed tuff layer from the Pilar Formation yields an age of 1488 ± 6 Ma and represents the fi rst direct depositional age constraint on any part of the Proterozoic metasedimentary succession in northern New Mexico. Detrital zircon from the overlying Piedra Lumbre Formation yield a minimum age peak of 1475 Ma, and ~60 grains (~25%) yield ages between 1500 Ma and 1600 Ma, possibly representing non-Laurentian detritus originating from Australia and/or Antarctica. Detrital zircons from the basal metaconglomerate and the middle quartzite member of the Marqueñas Formation yield minimum age peaks of 1472 Ma and 1471 Ma, consistent with earlier results. We interpret the onset of ca. 1490-1450 Ma deposition followed by tectonic burial, regional Al 2 SiO 5 triple-point metamorphism, and ductile deformation at depths of 12-18 km to refl ect a Mesoproterozoic contractional orogenic event, possibly related to the fi nal suturing of the Mazatzal crustal province to the southern margin of Laurentia. We propose to call this event the Picuris orogeny.
