Hidaka Metamorphic Belt ‘an exposed crustal slab derived from an immature island arc’ (Komatsu et al. 1986; Osanai et al. 1991)
Hidaka Metamorphic Belt Idealised succession of the metamorphic and igneous rocks in the ‘Hidaka Crust’ (modified from Komatsu et al. 1986) • What is the temporal framework? • Magmatic differentiation mechanisms? • Crustal evolutionary processes in arcs
Previous age studies Most K-Ar and Rb-Sr mineral ages cluster around 40-28 Ma and 20-15 Ma • Owada et al 1991 : peak metamorphism and anatexis at 56 ± 6.1 Ma (WR Rb-Sr isochron) • Usuki et al 2002 : granulite facies metamorphism at 23-18 Ma (SHRIMP U-Pb on thin zircon rims) • Maeda et al. 1990: Gabbro-diorite-granite K-Ar WR ages of 19.6-17 Ma. Cooling/exhumation ages (??)

Summary of U-Pb Ages Two magmatic pulses in the Hidaka Belt • ca. 37 Ma (late Eocene) • emplacement of I-type magmas at all crustal levels • mid-crustal anatexis/assimilation • ca. 19 Ma (early Miocene) • crystallisation of MORB-like gabbros • granulite facies MM and partial melting • generation of S-type magmas
Lu-Hf isotopes in zircon Why? - zircon has low Lu/Hf (< 0.001) • preserve initial 176Hf/177Hf of magma - robust, high Hf content (~1%) • impervious to isotopic disturbance - zoning in 176Hf/177Hf • source rocks, magmatic evolution (e.g. Griffin et al. 2002 Lithos 61, 237-239)

Conclusions Hidaka magmatic arc was assembled episodically • 37 Ma- I-type (?arc) magmatism - juvenile crustal growth • 19 Ma - S-type magmatism & granulite formation - recycling of older crustal materials driven by mafic magma under-plating What were the tectonic controls?
