“…Vogel (2004) also presented SHRIMP-RG detrital zircon data from one sample of the Kingston Peak Formation from Redlands Canyon in the Panamint Range and one sample from the Johnnie Formation in the eastern Death Valley region. Overlying Neoproterozoic strata have also been sampled for detrital zircon analyses (Stewart et al, 2001;Schoenborn, 2010;Schoenborn et al, 2012;Wooden et al, 2012) and comparisons to these data will be discussed below. Detailed provenance analysis from early studies was significantly hindered by small datasets and an incomplete understanding now available of the complexity of the surrounding basement provinces (e.g.…”

“…Both the Mojave and Yavapai-Mazatzal terranes contain potential sources of ca. 1.8-1.6 Ga zircons and were intruded by anorogenic granites between 1.4 and 1.3 Ga (Bowring and Karlstrom, 1990;Van Schmus et al, 1993;Bryant et al, 2001;Goodge and Vervoort, 2006;Wooden et al, 2012) (Table 3). Thus, sediment sourced from southwestern Laurentia is likely to dominantly contain zircon with ages between 1.8 and 1.6 Ga and 1.4-1.3 Ga.…”

The U-Pb age and Hf-isotope composition of detrital zircons from Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks adjacent to the southern North Cascades-Coast Plutonic Complex continental magmatic arc document shifting provenance, the tectonic evolution of the arc system, and translation along the continental margin. Systematic changes in the detrital-zircon data provide insight that the western margin of North America evolved from: marginal basins adjacent to continent-fringing oceanic arcs (ca. 160-140 Ma); forearc basins adjacent to mid-Cretaceous (ca. 120-90 Ma) Andean-type continental arcs; and addition of a cratonic source to forearc and accretionary wedge units to Cordilleran arc systems in the mid-Late Cretaceous (ca. 85 Ma). Jurassic Methow terrane, Nooksack Formation, and western mélange belt units dominantly contain detrital zircons derived from accreted oceanic terranes, whereas Lower Cretaceous strata from the same units have age peaks that correspond to known pulses of magmatism in Cordilleran continental magmatic arc systems. The age peaks and Hf-isotope signature of the Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous strata are comparable to multiple sources exposed along the margin. In contrast, the Upper Cretaceous western mélange belt has distinct Precambrian zircon populations and unradiogenic Late Cretaceous zircons that are more similar to southwestern than northwestern Laurentian sources. Statistical comparisons confirm provenance similarities between rocks of the North Cascades and those 700-2000 km to the south and, thus, support marginparallel translation from as far as the latitude of southern California.
