“…Rocks included in a single pluton have field relationships and geochemistry that suggest they are derived from a single magma or several closely related batches of magma emplaced within a relatively short period of time (e.g., glazner et al 2004;Saleeby et al 2008). by mapping intrusive rocks as plutons, rather than simply focusing on lithology, we group together closely related rocks of the same age in a single map unit (cox & Allibone 1995).…”

“…Furthermore, the stratigraphy within pendants and wall rocks of Cordilleran batholiths provides no evidence of thick crust as they too sat at, or below, sea level during volcanism. The Sierra Nevada and Peninsular Ranges batholiths of North America were both low-standing during arc magmatism as documented by marine sedimentary rocks as young as 100 Ma interbedded with the volcanic rocks (Fife et al 1967;Allison 1974;Nokleberg 1983;Wetmore et al 2005;Busby et al 2006;Saleeby et al 2008;Memeti et al 2010;Centeno-GarcĂ­a et al 2011). Similarly, the Casma arc volcanic rocks described here were marine prior to 105 Ma (Cobbing 1978Atherton et al 1985a) as were those of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Ocoite arc in northern Chile (Levi and Aguirre 1981;Åberg et al 1984).…”

“…The Sierra Nevada was clearly lowstanding during magmatism, for it contains marine rocks deposited at about 100 Ma (Nokleberg 1981;Saleeby et al 2008;Memeti et al 2010). So was the western Peninsular Ranges arc, where the Santiago Peak and Alisitos volcanics are interbedded with sedimentary rocks containing marine fossils (Fife et al 1967;Allison 1974;Phillips 1993;Griffith and Hoobs 1993;Wetmore et al 2005;Busby et al 2006;CentenoGarcĂ­a et al 2011).…”

“…Just as with the Peninsular Ranges batholith, the western sector of the Sierra Nevada represents an ~125-100 Ma arc (Bateman 1992) constructed upon crust assembled mainly during the Jurassic, whereas the eastern half contains large compositionally zoned tonalite-granodiorite-granite complexes, such as the Tuolumne, Whitney, John Muir, Domelands, and Sonora (Fig. 17), emplaced during the 98-86 Ma Sierran Crest magmatic event (Coleman and Glazner 1998;Saleeby et al 2008). And just like the Peninsular Ranges batholith, rocks of the Sierra Nevada contain evidence of añ 103-100 Ma deformational event that postdated all known sedimentary and volcanic wall rocks within the western arc (Peck 1980;Nokleberg and Kistler 1980;Bateman et al 1983;Bateman 1992;Wood 1997;Memeti et al 2010;Hildebrand 2013) yet predated, or was partly coeval with, the compositionally zoned plutonic complexes of the Sierran Crest magmatic event (Greene and Schweickert 1995;Coleman and Glazner 1998;Davis et al 2012).…”
