Abstract

Thermochronologic, petrologic, and geochemical analyses of epidote-amphibolite-, amphibolite-, eclogite-, and blueschist-facies blocks in serpentinite-matrix melanges from East San Benito Island and Cedros Island, west-central Baja California, provide constraints on the P-T-t history of this disrupted terrane. Results of 40 Ar/ 39 Ar step heating experiments on minerals separated from these blocks vary according to metamorphic grade and indicate different P-T-t histories. -from Authors
