Interstitial, subhedral, slightly pink zircons have been separated from a diorite of the External Gabbro unit Finero Mafic Complex, which crops out in northernmost tip Ivrea–Verbano Zone (IVZ, Southern Alps). They are characterized by oscillatory zoning under cathodoluminescence (CL), high Th/U ratio (0·9–0·4), and associated U, Th, Pb, rare earth element (REE), Ta, Nb, Li P contents, consistent with magmatic origin. The mean single concordant ages is 232 ± 3 Ma, here proposed to constrain...
The Ivrea‐Verbano and adjacent Strona‐Ceneri zones have been described collectively as a section through the continental crust. While resident in lower crust, amphibolite to granulite‐facies paragneiss of Zone was intruded by huge volumes mafic intermediate plutonic rocks grouped Mafic Complex. Growth Complex involved hypersolidus deformation an extensional environment. Isotopic trace element variations close axis this structure indicate crystallization from mantle‐derived melts that were...
A 50 m thick and 150 long dunite body occurs as a subconcordant, tabular structure in the Balmuccia Massif, an Alpine peridotite thought to represent part of subcontinental mantle. The contacts with host spinel-facies depleted lherzolite are sharp. is composed spinel-rich containing centimetre-size lenses relict Cr-diopside websterite, spinel-poor granoblastic virtually monomineralic Cr-spinel layers exhibiting flow structures. Orthopyroxene minor, phase all lithologies; clinopyroxene...
The Ivrea-Verbano Zone (IVZ) in the westernmost sector of Southern Alps is an iconic upper mantle to lower continental crust sequence Adriatic Plate and provides a geological window into tectono-magmatic events that occurred at Gondwana–Laurussia boundary from Late Paleozoic Early Mesozoic. In this work, we document new geochemical Nd-Sr-Hf-Pb isotopic data for Mesozoic alkali-rich dyke swarms which intruded Finero Phlogopite Peridotite (northern IVZ) provide constraints on nature, origin...
Abstract A geochronological study was performed on zircon grains from a middle‐lower crustal shear zone exposed in the northern sector of Ivrea‐Verbano Zone (Southern Alps, Italy) for first time. The developed at boundary between mafic rocks External Gabbro unit and ultramafic Amphibole Peridotite unit. It is ~10–20 m wide, can be followed along NE strike several kilometers, consists an anastomosing network mylonites ultramylonites. Zircon were studied thin sections as separates three...
