Apatite fission track (AFT) and vitrinite reflectance (VR) data for early Miocene outcrops from the Waitemata Basin reveal that the basin sequence was subjected to shallow burial before denudation. AFT results suggest that the total sediment thickness within the basin was 1 km and maximum paleotemperatures during burial never exceeded c. 60°C. Statistical analyses of the detrital AFT ages distinguish four dominant sources of sediment supply: contemporaneous volcanism; metagreywacke rocks of the Waipapa Group; the Northland Allochthon; and an unidentified source south of the basin.The apatite and zircon fission track results from the Waipapa Group rocks (Gondwana Terrane) adjacent to the basin suggest two discrete phases of accelerated cooling: the first during the early Cretaceous (c. 117 Ma) and the second during the mid Cretaceous (c. 84 Ma). These events probably reflect key stages in the tectonic development of the New Zealand microcontinent during the Cretaceous period, the earlier event being related to the climax of compressional deformation (Rangitata Orogeny) and the latter to extensional tectonism associated with the opening of the Tasman Sea. Waipapa Group rocks now exposed at the surface cooled from maximum paleotemperatures of c. 250°C at an estimated rate of c. 180-36°C/m.y., involving substantial denudation.

“…The PAZ for zircon is not equally well defined and a wide range of temperature bounds has been published. Yamada et al (1995) suggest temperature ranges of ca. 390-170°C, whereas Tagami and Dimitru (1996) and Tagami et al (1998) report ca.…”

Two age groups were determined for the Cenozoic granitoids in the Dinarides of southern Serbia by high-precision single grain U-Pb dating of thermally annealed and chemically abraded zircons: (1) Oligocene ages (Kopaonik, Drenje, Ž eljin) ranging from 31.7 to 30.6 Ma (2) Miocene ages (Golija and Polumir) at 20. 58-20.17 and 18.06-17.74 Ma, respectively. Apatite fission-track central ages, modelling combined with zircon central ages and additionally, local structural observations constrain the subsequent exhumation history of the magmatic rocks. They indicate rapid cooling from above 300°C to ca. 80°C between 16 and 10 Ma for both age groups, induced by extensional exhumation of the plutons located in the footwall of core complexes. Hence, Miocene magmatism and core-complex formation not only affected the Pannonian basin but also a part of the mountainous areas of the internal Dinarides. Based on an extensive set of existing age data combined with our own analyses, we propose a geodynamical model for the Balkan Peninsula: The Late Eocene to Oligocene magmatism, which affects the Adriaderived lower plate units of the internal Dinarides, was caused by delamination of the Adriatic mantle from the overlying crust, associated with post-collisional convergence that propagated outward into the external Dinarides. Miocene magmatism, on the other hand, is associated with core-complex formation along the southern margin of the Pannonian basin, probably associated with the W-directed subduction of the European lithosphere beneath the Carpathians and interfering with ongoing Dinaridic-Hellenic back-arc extension.

“…Typical temperature ranges for the PAZ for heating durations of 10 7 Ma are 60-110 8C for fluorapatite (e.g. Gleadow & Duddy 1981), 170 -330 8C for zircon (Zaun & Wagner 1985;Yamada et al 1995) and 265 -310 8C for titanite (Coyle & Wagner 1998). Above the upper-temperature values fission tracks undergo total annealing, which removes all traces of fission tracks from the host crystal lattice.…”

Fission-track and (U-Th-Sm)/He thermochronology on apatites are radiometric dating methods that refer to thermal histories of rocks within the temperature range of 408-125 8C. Their introduction into geological research contributed to the development of new concepts to interpreting time-temperature constraints and substantially improved the understanding of cooling processes within the uppermost crust. Present geological applications of apatite thermochronological methods include absolute dating of rocks and tectonic processes, investigation of denudation histories and long-term landscape evolution of various geological settings, and basin analysis.
