摘要

La Virgen tephra is the product of the youngest and most voluminous explosive eruption of Las Tres Vírgenes volcano (Baja California). Combined U-Th and (U-Th)/He zircon dating allows accurate correction for uranium-series disequilibrium, and yields an eruption age for La Virgen tephra of 30.7-1.4+1.8ka (2σ). No difference in eruption ages was found between samples from proximal and distal La Virgen tephra. A previously undated tephra south of Las Tres Vírgenes volcano yielded U-Th and (U-Th)/He zircon ages overlapping those of La Virgen tephra, which suggests that both units are identical. ~3He surface exposure ages (T_3) of overlying mafic lavas are 25.5±4.4 and 22.0±2.5ka, and agree within uncertainties with ~(21)Ne exposure ages (T_(21)). T_3 and T_(21) ages for dome lava south of La Virgen are slightly older (T_3=42.5±3.8ka). (U-Th)/He and surface exposure ages are stratigraphically consistent, whereas a published Holocene ~(14)C charcoal age from the distal site could not be confirmed. Instead, abundant zircon crystals with (U-Th)/He ages between ~1 and 22Ma are interpreted as undegassed detrital grains, suggesting reworking of pumice at the distal location. The results presented here underscore the potential of combined U-Th and (U-Th)/He zircon dating for Quaternary tephrochronology.
