Arc and Slab-Failure Magmatism in Cordilleran Batholiths I – The Cretaceous Coastal Batholith of Peru and its Role in South American Orogenesis and Hemispheric Subduction Flip

Abstract: We examined the temporal and spatial relations of rock units within the Western Cordillera of Peru where two Cretaceous basins, the Huarmey-Cañete and the West Peruvian Trough, were considered by previous workers to represent western and eastern parts respectively of the same marginal basin. The Huarmey-Cañete Trough, which sits on Mesoproterozoic basement of the Arequipa block, was filled with up to 9 km of Tithonian to Albian tholeiitic–calc-alkaline volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. It shoaled to subaerial… Show more

“…This complex is referred to as Casma volcanic arc and was accreted to the South American plate during the Cretaceous by oblique convergence [211]. Reference [212] propose that the accretion occurred by collision of the volcanic arc with the west-dipping, partially subducted western margin of the South American plate. The Casma volcanic arc and the neighboring Western Cordillera were intruded by several plutons that together form the Coastal Batholith.…”

“…This is the second in a planned series on Cretaceous batholiths of the American Cordillera (Hildebrand and Whalen 2014) and is an outgrowth of both authors' long-standing interest in plutons and batholithic terranes (Hildebrand 1981(Hildebrand , 1984Whalen 1985;Whalen and Chappell 1988).…”

“…For example, within the American Cordillera there are two batholithic terranes recognized as out-of-place orphans: the Salinian block (Ross 1978), located just west of the San Andreas fault in central California; and the Coastal batholith of Peru with its Arequipa-Antofalla basement (Loewy et al 2004). In our accompanying contribution (Hildebrand and Whalen 2014: this volume) we briefly describe the geology of those terranes, hypothesize that the two were formerly joined, and that the high-grade Salinian block with its 100-82 Ma plutons formed the opposing block to the dominantly lower grade, mainly Albian, arc complex of the Coastal batholith.…”
