Evolution of the Cycladic Crystalline Complex: Petrology, Isotope Geochemistry and Geochronolgy

  • Chapter
Chemical Transport in Metasomatic Processes

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 218))

Abstract

Petrological, geochronological and isotope geochemical studies over the past ten years are reviewed suggesting the following metamorphic and igneous evolution of the Cycladic crystalline complex:

  1. 1)

    Formation of high-pressure blueschist facies assemblages during the Eocene (40–45 Ma) as a result of continental collision processes.

  2. 2)

    During the Miocene (20–25 Ma) the Cycladic terrane became regionally overprinted by greenschist facies assemblages with local development of thermal domes. Isotopic studies show that infiltration of fluids is responsible for the propagation of the overprint.

  3. 3)

    Shortly after the culmination of the Miocene event (12–18 Ma) granitoids intruded on a number of islands, Ranging in composition from granodiorites and granites to monzonites the Cycladic granitoid province is interpreted to result from assimilation of crustal material by mantle-derived basaltic melts combined with fractional crystallization.

Together with the contemporaneous high-pressure rocks on Crete the Miocene crystalline rocks are considered a paired belt.
