Abstract

In Sardinia, one of the southernmost remains of the European Variscan belt, a crustal section through different Gondwanan paleodomains is largely preserved. Laser ablation ICP-MS U-Pb ages on undoubtedly igneous sites of the zircons were determined on the Lower Palaeozoic volcanic rocks, constrained by defined field relationships, thus evidencing three subsequent volcanic events: Intermediate and felsic (491.7 ± 3.5 Ma ÷ 479.9 ± 2.1 Concordia ages) transitional volcanic rocks embedded within a Cambro-Ordovician terrigenous succession, that occurs with continuity in external and inner nappes, bounded to the top by the Sardic unconformity. This Cambrian-Lower Ordovician succession is cut by calc-alkalic rhyodacites, which yielded a Concordia age of 465.4 ± 1.4 Ma, confirming their pertinence to the huge, bimodal Mid-Ordovician arc volcanism, commonly interpreted as the widespread marker of the Rheic ocean subduction. Alkalic metaepiclastites in the external nappe, within the post-Caradocian transgressive sequence, dated at 440 ± 1.7 Ma, likely related to rifting and collapse of the Mid-Ordovician volcanic arc. In the reshaped Lower Palaeozoic stratigraphy of Sardinia, the timing of the early steps of the Variscan Wilson cycle can be inferred. (literal)
