Dinner and cleanup

Weather : It has been known to rain, snow, hail, and occasionally sleet in the Raft Rivers in the late spring/early summer. Pack accordingly. Interesting weather can arrive quickly and unexpectedly, so you’d be well advised to carry rain gear and a warm outer layer every day .

Evenings, showers, etc.

: It is ~38 miles to Snowville and you have to pay for showers at the truck stop, so evening trips for showers or shopping are a poor option. Towns in Idaho are even further, so plan accordingly (i.e., bring what you need – snacks, drinks, a solar shower, maybe).

• If it’s your cooking/cleanup night, you are responsible to be in camp helping your group with these activities for as long as they take, from beginning to end.

• There will be intermittent discussions in the evenings as need dictates, and you will also want to ink and color your maps and work on your notes, stereonets, etc. after dinner most nights.

Directions to Elaine & Ron's 40 acres of paradise on the outskirts of Park Valley (our campsite) :

Take I-15 north to junction with I-84. Take I-84 northwest to Highway 30 exit (~3 miles past

Snowville). Take Hwy. 30 ~15.3 miles due west to junction with Hwy. 42. Do NOT continue straight forward on Hwy. 42.

Instead, turn left, which puts you on the continuation of Hwy. 30. Drive about another 17.8 miles, until you find Mile Marker 57. (If you get to the tiny cluster of ranch houses called

"Park Valley", you've gone about 2 miles too far.) Just west of Mile Marker 57, turn left (south) onto a ranch road. Go through the green double gate and drive 1.1 miles, staying to the left at the major fork.

(The local ranchers often put up barbed-wire gates across this stretch; always leave them as you found them - either opened or closed.) On the left, you'll find another green double gate with signs reading

"J&S Price" and "Juniper". Go through those and drive north 1/3 mile to the trailer and yard.

Elevation = 5535 feet.

In Parowan Gap you mapped unmetamorphosed Mesozoic to Tertiary rocks, many of which

(Straight Cliffs, Iron Springs, Grand Castle, and Claron Formations) were deposited in the foredeep basin near the eastern margin of Sevier thrusting. In the Raft River Mountains you will map

Precambrian and Paleozoic rocks that represent the western margin of North America prior to the final assembly of Pangaea in Triassic time. The Raft Rivers lie paleogeographically west of Parowan Gap in the hinterland of the Sevier fold-and-thrust belt. The “hinterland” is the region “behind” (west of) the eastern limit of Sevier thrusting, within the thrust belt itself, where Precambrian to Mesozoic continental margin strata were shortened and thickened along mainly east-vergent (top-to-the-east) thrusts. Sevier deformation lasted from ~130 to 60 Ma, and was diachronous (affected different areas of western North America at different times). Sevier thrust sheets (“allochthons”) were the source of conglomerate clasts in the Straight Cliffs, Parowan Gap, Grand Castle, and Claron Formations exposed in the Red Hills. In the Raft River Mountains, you will map Precambrian and Paleozoic quartzites and carbonates that correlate with the source rocks of the Grand Castle and Claron conglomerate clasts.

Mesozoic sedimentation and Sevier thrusting deeply buried Precambrian-Paleozoic rocks in northwestern Utah, resulting in regional amphibolite-facies metamorphism in the deepest parts of the section and greenschist-facies metamorphism at higher crustal levels. These metamorphic rocks were partially exhumed in Cretaceous time by extensional faulting coeval with Sevier thrusting.

Simultaneous compressional deformation (thrusting) and extension (normal-faulting) in an active thrust belt may seem counterintuitive, but has been recognized in most active and inactive continental compressional orogens on Earth, including the Alps, Himalayas, Scandinavian Caledonides, and the

North American Cordillera. Synorogenic extension commonly occurs because the crust in continental thrust belts becomes “overthickened” to the point that it is gravitationally unstable. Upper parts of the orogen then begin to “collapse” or spread under extension even as thrusting continues at deeper levels.

You will map Sevier thrusts and synorogenic normal faults in the Raft Rivers, but the predominant structures exposed (responsible for the range’s present morphology) are products of Basin-and-Range extension, primarily early Miocene in age. They are components of a low-angle normal-fault system that accommodated as much as 100% extension in northwest Utah, resulting in the relatively rapid exhumation of a metamorphic “core” from crustal depths greater than 12-15 km. In emerging from these depths, the footwall or “core” rocks passed upward through the brittle-ductile transition in the crust during deformation. Thus, in the footwall rocks, ductile structures and textures (mylonites, ductile folds, and stretching lineations) are overprinted by brittle features (fault breccia, high-level subsidiary faults) that represent a later phase of the same extensional event. Along the main (top-tothe-east) Raft River detachment (the low-angle normal fault), amphibolite-facies metamorphic core rocks are juxtaposed beneath weakly metamorphosed, brittly deformed Precambrian-Paleozoic sedimentary rocks in the hanging wall. On the order of 10 kilometers of crust is “missing” between the hanging wall and the footwall, cut out by extensional displacement on the Raft River detachment.

Rocks correlative with the excised section can be observed east of the Raft Rivers in the Black Pine

Range.

In this project, you will map an ~4 mi 2 area on the south flank of the Raft Rivers that includes the main extensional Raft River detachment, mylonites, folds, faults, and other extensional structures in its metamorphic footwall, and severely deformed hanging-wall rocks. You will understand what extensional core complexes are all about by the time you finish.

ABSTRACT: The contact separating Ordovician rocks from the underlying lower part of the Raft

River Mountains sequence, northwestern Utah, is reinterpreted as a large-displacement low-angle normal fault, the Mahogany Peaks fault, that excised 4-5 km of structural section. High delta 13 C values identified in marble in the lower part of the Raft River Mountains sequence suggest a

Proterozoic, rather than Cambrian age. Metamorphic conditions of hanging wall Ordovician and footwall Proterozoic strata are upper greenschist and middle amphibolite facies, respectively, and quantitative geothermometry indicates a temperature discontinuity of about 100°C. A discordance in muscovite 40 Ar/ 39 Ar cooling ages between hanging wall and footwall strata in eastern exposures, and the lack of a corresponding cooling age discordance in western exposures, suggest a component of west dip for the fault. The juxtaposition of younger over older and colder over hotter rocks, the muscovite cooling age discordance with older over younger, and top-to-the-west shearing downstructure are consistent with an extensional origin. The age of faulting is bracketed between 90 and 47

Ma, and may be synchronous with footwall cooling at about 60-70 Ma. Recognition of the Mahogany

Peaks fault, its extensional origin, and its probable latest Cretaceous to Paleocene age provides further evidence that episodes of extension at mid-crustal levels in the hinterland of the Sevier orogenic belt were synchronous with protracted shortening in the foreland fold and thrust belt, and that the Sevier orogen acted as a dynamic orogenic wedge.

ABSTRACT: Combined macroscopic to microscopic structural analyses, detailed geologic mapping, and thermochronology were used to study the structural evolution of midcrustal rocks of the Sevier orogenic belt hinterland in northwestern Utah. These results, when combined with previous studies, provide new insight into the structural history of this region, and suggest alternating tectonic contraction and extension during Mesozoic to early Cenozoic time. Two allochthons form the upper plate of the Miocene Raft River detachment fault in the eastern Raft River Mountains. The lower

allochthon comprises Neoproterozoic, Ordovician, and Pennsylvanian(?) strata, and is bounded below by the Raft River detachment fault and above by the middle detachment fault. Strata within the lower allochthon were dramatically attenuated by two episodes of ductile deformation. The first deformation

(D

1

) took place at metamorphic temperatures of nearly 500°C, and resulted in penetrative fabrics throughout these rocks that record combined flattening and top-to-northeast shearing strains. The second deformation (D2) resulted in significant stratigraphic attenuation along discrete top-to-the-west shear zones that are generally parallel to lithologic contacts. Separates of synkinematic muscovite from the penetrative fabric yield 40 Ar/ 39 Ar cooling ages that indicate that D1 deformation occurred prior to cooling ca. 90 Ma. Both fabrics were subsequently folded about (D3) kilometer-scale recumbent folds.

The areally extensive middle allochthon, composed chiefly of Pennsylvanian and Permian rocks metamorphosed in the greenschist facies, was emplaced (D4) along the low-angle middle detachment fault. This fault cuts across various structural levels of the recumbently folded lower allochthon in its footwall, and juxtaposes greenschist facies over amphibolite-facies metamorphic rocks. The lower and middle allochthon were subsequently deformed (D5) into open folds with north-trending axes.

Neogene extension (D6) produced a nearly 200-m-thick top-to-east ductile shear zone in Precambrian rocks, and formed the younger Raft River detachment fault, which forms the present upper contact of the ductile shear zone. Northeast-vergent D1 fabrics probably record shortening deformation, on the basis of fabric correlations with the Grouse Creek and Albion mountains, deformation kinematics, and synkinematic prograde metamorphism. D2 attenuation faults have been interpreted to record crustal extension of Late Cretaceous age. If D3 recumbent folds developed during extension, then the deformation sequence records early shortening followed by protracted extensional unroofing with variable structural styles. The favored alternative is that D3 recumbent folds developed during shortening; in this case, D

1

through D4 record episodic alternations of contraction and extension. Such alternations are consistent with observations from analog and theoretical models of contractional mountain belts and suggest that the hinterland of the Sevier orogenic belt underwent dynamic adjustments in crustal thickness and deformation kinematics in response to changes in the boundary conditions of the orogenic belt.
