摘要

Forearc accretionary wedges are cyclic systems in which material is frontally and/or basally accreted. Material cycling involves underthrusting, subduction, underplating, exhumation, erosion, transfer to the trench and underthrusting again. In this study we present a novel, tectonochronologic approach to constrain long-term exhumation rates of basally accreted wedge complexes, based on isotopic dating of structural features, on petrological data and sandbox analogue simulations. Congruence between the structural inventory in nature and structures generated in scaled sandbox experiments allows detailed insights into wedge dynamics. For the present-day surface material of the paleoaccretionary wedge of South-Central Chile (Valdivia area, 40°S), published U–Pb ages of detrital zircon place a maximum age of 278 Ma for subduction. Prograde metamorphism at transitional greenschist to blueschist facies conditions (420 °C, 8–9 kbar) was immediately followed by progressive penetrative deformation associated with basal accretion, dated at 250–245 Ma using Rb/Sr internal mineral isochrons. The accretion process involved duplex tectonics and antiformal stacking, with formation of near-horizontal mylonitic shear zones at around 241 Ma. Continuous basal accretion at depth gave rise to an extensional tectonic regime at higher structural levels. Both semi-ductile, small-scale extensional shear zones and post-kinematic vein mineralizations yield Rb/Sr ages of 235 Ma. Tension gashes, representing the latest isotopically dateable stage of structural evolution, were formed at 210 Ma, at conditions of 230 °C at 1.5–3 kbar, as constrained by fluid inclusion data. Zircon fission track data indicate final cooling to below 200 °C at 186±24 Ma. The results suggest continuous basal accretion for at least 50 Ma, with long-term average exhumation rates of 0.6±0.2 mm/a, most probably outbalanced by similar long-term average erosion rates. Changing plate boundary conditions at about 210–200 Ma terminated the accretion process, as evident from a dramatic decrease of exhumation rates at that time. Since then, the paleoaccretionary wedge remained stably in place despite its delicate geotectonic position within the Andean active margin. The tectonochronologic approach complements thermochronologic and geomorphologic methods of exhumation research as it provides direct constraints on mass flux rates even for high-temperature increments of P–T trajectories.
