摘要

The Bitterroot metamorphic core complex is an exhumed, mid-crustal, plutonic-metamorphic complex that formed during crustal thickening and subsequent extension in the hinterland of the North American Cordilleran Orogen, in the northern Idaho batholith region. Extension was accommodated mainly on the Bitterroot mylonite zone, a 500-1500-m-thick shear zone that deforms granitic intrusive rocks as young as 53-52 Ma, as well as older high-grade metamorphic rocks and plutons. Exhumation of the core complex, in Eocene time, is marked in the shear zone by the transition from amphibolite-facies mylonitization, to greenschist-facies mylonitization, chloritic brecciation, to brittle faulting that progressed from shallower crustal levels in the west to deeper crustal levels in the east from ca. 53 - 30 Ma based on U-Pb, Ar-Ar, and fission-track data. Apatite and zircon fission-track data record the lower-temperature part of the exhumation history and help define when the shear zone became inactive, as well as the transition from rapid, core complex-style extension to slower basin-and-range-style extension. They indicate that the western pail of the complex was exhumed to within 1-2 km of the surface by similar to 48-45 Ma, while the eastern pail of the complex was still at amphibolite-facies conditions and that the eastern pail of the complex was not exhumed below - 60 degreesC until after 30 Ma. Younger apatite Fission-track ages (:! 26 Ma) on the eastern range front of the Bitterroot Mountains suggest that the present topographic expression of the mylonite front was due to Miocene high-angle faulting and widening of the Bitterroot Valley.
