“…1a) contained sills with Galápagos-type geochemical compositions (<16 Ma; Sadofsky et al, 2009 and references therein) intruded into Cocos Plate crust that is between 22.1 and 24.1 Ma old ). In addition, unusual young lavas occur within the Cocos and Carnegie Ridge hotspot tracks (O'Connor et al, 2007), which also contain the geochemical characteristics of magmas from the Galápagos plume (Harpp et al, 2005;Werner et al, 2003), but not necessarily in accordance with the geochemical composition of the surrounding, older hotspot track volcanic rocks. Hence the significantly younger age of these intraplate volcanic rocks that have Galápagos-type compositions may reflect active plume outflow over several hundreds of kilometers, consistent with low seismic velocities within the upper asthenosphere beneath the Cocos Hotspot track (O'Connor et al, 2007).…”

“…1) separates the smoother crust that forms at the EPR in the north from the rough seafloor that forms at the GSC in the south (Fisher et al, 2003). The Cocos Ridge and Seamount Province are located on the crust formed at the GSC and are geochemically zoned at their older end similar to the Galápagos Archipelago (Harpp et al, 2005;Hoernle et al, 2000;Werner et al, 2003). The Cocos Plate that formed at the EPR contains abundant large, randomly distributed seamounts, including the study area (shown in box in Fig.…”

“…Con excepción de los LILE, patrones parecidos a las rocas del grupo I de El Chilar se observan frecuentemente en basaltos intra-oceánicos modernos (Figura 9), como por ejemplo, aquellos de la isla de Cocos en el Pacifico de Costa Rica. Dicha similitud se resalta en la figura 9, que muestra la comparación gráfica entre la composición de las muestras estudiadas en el presente trabajo y la de escudos oceánicos actuales (seamounts) en el Pacífico (Harpp et al, 2005;Hawkins et al, 1987;Janney y Baker, 1995;Eggins et al, 1991), y Figura 8. Diagramas que comparan (a) tierras raras y (b) elementos traza de muestras obtenidas en el bloque exótico El Terrero, (grupo I en verde y grupo II en rojo), con muestras de la Formación Taray de afinidad OIB (azul).…”

“…La geoquímica de bloques con firmas afines a OIB tanto del Complejo El Chilar (aquí reportados) como de la Formación Taray es similar a la observada en escudos volcánicos (seamounts) actuales del Pacífico (Harpp et al, 2005;Hawkins et al, 1987;Janney y Baker, 1995;Eggins et al, 1991), lo que sugiere un escenario tectónico similar. Desde el punto de vista regional, el Complejo El Chilar, conjuntamente con la Formación Taray son probablemente los remanentes de un prisma de acreción desarrollado en la margen occidental del microcontinente Oaxaquia en algún momento entre el Triásico tardío y el Jurásico tempranoMedio.…”
