Mesozoic plate convergence in SE Sundaland has been a source of debate for decades. A determination of plate convergence boundaries and timing have been explained in many publications, but not all boundaries were associated with magmatism. Through integration of both plate configurations and magmatic deposits, the basement can be accurately characterized over time and areal extents. This paper will discuss Cretaceous subductions and magmatic arc trends in SE Sundaland area with additional evidence found in JS-1 Ridge. At least three subduction trends are captured during the Mesozoic in the study area: 1) Early Jurassic – Early Cretaceous trend of Meratus, 2) Early Cretaceous trend of Bantimala and 3) Late Cretaceous trend in the southernmost study area. The Early Jurassic – Early Cretaceous subduction occurred along the South and East boundary of Sundaland (SW Borneo terrane) and passes through the Meratus area. The Early Cretaceous subduction occurred along South and East boundary of Sundaland (SW Borneo and Paternoster terranes) and pass through the Bantimala area. The Late Cretaceous subduction occurred along South and East boundary of Sundaland (SW Borneo, Paternoster and SE Java – South Sulawesi terranes), but is slightly shifted to the South approaching the Oligocene – Recent subduction zone. Magmatic arc trends can also be generally grouped into three periods, with each period corresponds to the subduction processes at the time. The first magmatic arc (Early Jurassic – Early Cretaceous) is present in core of SW Borneo terrane and partly produces the Schwaner Magmatism. The second Cretaceous magmatic arc (Early Cretaceous) trend is present in the SW Borneo terrane but is slightly shifted southeastward It is responsible for magmatism in North Java offshore, northern JS-1 Ridge and Meratus areas. The third magmatic arc trend is formed by Late Cretaceous volcanic rocks in Luk Ulo, the southern JS-1 Ridge and the eastern Makassar Strait areas. These all occur during the same time within the Cretaceous magmatic arc. Though a mélange rock sample has not been found in JS-1 Ridge area, there is evidence of an accretionary prism in the area as evidenced by the geometry observed on a new 3D seismic dataset. Based on the structural trend of Meratus (NNE-SSW) coupled with the regional plate boundary understanding, this suggests that both Meratus & JS-1 Ridge are part of the same suture zone between SW Borneo and Paternoster terranes. The gradual age transition observed in the JS-1 Ridge area suggests a southward shift of the magmatic arc during Early Cretaceous to Late Cretaceous times.

Allochthons in the Cassiar Mountains of northern British Columbia contain assemblages belonging to two distinct Canadian Cordilleran terranes, Yukon–Tanana (YTT) and Quesnellia. These assemblages, of pre-Late Devonian, Devonian–Mississippian, Pennsylvanian–Permian, and Early Jurassic age, occur in intrusive and depositional, as well as structural, contact with each other. The allochthons are gently dipping thrust panels, interrupted by the mid-Cretaceous Cassiar Batholith. A key element for correlation across the batholith is the Mississippian and older pericratonic Dorsey Complex. New Devonian–Mississippian U–Pb ages for deformed plutons within it document an igneous suite like those in type Yukon–Tanana exposures farther north. Other characteristics of the Dorsey Complex that ally it with YTT are orthoquartzites and grits, and amphibolite bodies with transitional mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) to ocean-island basalt (OIB) petrochemical signatures. Unconformities, deformed clasts in the late Paleozoic sequences, and a shared mid-Permian intrusive suite show that later arcs onlapped the mid-Paleozoic and older YTT assemblage. The Early Jurassic intrusive suite cuts all major contacts and fabrics except the terrane-bounding fault between the Slide Mountain and combined YTT–Quesnel terranes. It represents a northern continuation of a plutonic belt that extends the length of the Mesozoic Quesnel magmatic arc. These relationships carry important implications for Cordilleran terrane history and the tectonic evolution of the North American margin. At least some of the major terranes were not unrelated entities prior to their accretion to the continent, but a system of superimposed and interconnected arcs that developed over a protracted time interval, with complex and evolving paleogeographic configurations much like the modern western Pacific province.

SummaryPrior to Late Triassic–Early Jurassic times, the geological history of the Antarctic Peninsula region was dominated almost entirely by Gondwana sequences that together comprised a major arc-trench system. Subduction complex, trench-slope-break and fore-arc basin sedimentation can all be recognized, and deposition was at least partly on early Palaeozoic or older continental crust. The only evidence for a contemporaneous magmatic arc situated in the Antarctic Peninsula at this time consists of patchy occurrences of metavolcanic rocks, possibly representing the frontal edge of the arc, and the major outcrop area of these rocks is believed to lie under the broad shallow continental shelf E of the Antarctic Peninsula. This is contrary to most current hypotheses in which a marginal basin, presumably floored by oceanic crust, is thought to crop out close to the E coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. However, the complete absence of substantial outcrops of pre-Jurassic volcanic rocks anywhere in eastern Antarctica and South Africa, which are the closest and most likely places in which these should exist, supports the new proposal. Moreover, the identification of back-arc elements of the arc-trench system (foreland fold-thrust belt and retro-arc foreland basin) in eastern Antarctica and South Africa greatly strengthens the likelihood of the arc cropping out in the area suggested.Towards the end of the Triassic and during the Early Jurassic Periods, an intense diastrophic event, or culmination of events, of orogenic magnitude occurred (Gondwanian orogeny), causing substantial redistribution of the pre-existing elements of the arc-trench system. In particular, all the fore-arc sequences were strongly deformed, some possibly for the first time (e.g. in the fore-arc basin), and became firmly accreted to the continental margin. Moreover, the magmatic foci migrated trenchwards to intrude the deformed rocks in the Antarctic Peninsula. Because many of the plutons were emplaced synkinematically, they often closely resemble ‘basement’ gneisses. The distinction between these rocks remains a serious problem in the Antarctic Peninsula and it can be solved only partially by radiometric dating.

U–Pb dating of zircon from the Guichon Creek batholith indicates an emplacement age of 210 ± 3 Ma. Comparison with previously published K–Ar (211–188 Ma) and Rb–Sr (205 and 196 Ma) dates reveals that intrusion, mineralization, cooling, and uplift of the batholith took some 20 Ma, spanning the Triassic–Jurassic boundary on the Decade of North American Geology (DNAG) time scale.The Mount Martley pluton and Tiffin Creek stock yield Late Jurassic dates of 155 ± 2 Ma (U–Pb, zircon) and 152 ± 5 Ma (K–Ar, hornblende), respectively, and provide a reliable minimum age (Kimmeridgian) for penetrative deformation in the Cache Creek terrane. K–Ar whole-rock dates from Cache Creek terrane and Ashcroft Formation argillites range from Early Permian (266 ± 8 Ma) and Early Jurassic (194 ± 6 Ma) to Late Jurassic, Kimmeridgian (154 ± 5 Ma). We interpret the younger dates as recording Middle–Late Jurassic tectonism and the older ones as possible relics from earlier deformation episodes.An Early Cretaceous K–Ar date (129 ± 5 Ma) for a lamprophyre dike that cuts the Nicola Group suggests that the Early Cretaceous magmatic arc of the Coast Plutonic Complex had an eastern alkalic fringe in the Intermontane Belt.

The regional tectonic conditions of the KSK Contract of Work are located in the mid-Tertiary magmatic arc (Carlile and Mitchell, 1994) which host a number of epithermal gold deposits (eg, Kelian, Indon, Muro) and significant prospects such as Muyup, Masupa Ria, Gunung Mas and Mirah. Copper-gold mineralization in the KSK Contract of Work is associated with a number of intrusions that have occupied the shallow-scale crust at the Mesozoic metamorphic intercellular junction to the south and continuously into the Lower Tertiary sediment toward the water. This intrusion is interpreted to be part of the Oligocene arc of Central Kalimantan (in Carlile and Mitchell 1994) Volcanic rocks and associated volcanoes are older than intrusions, possibly aged Cretaceous and exposed together with all three contacts (Carlile and Mitchell, 1994) some researchers contribute details about the geological and mineralogical background, and some papers for that are published for the Beruang Kanan region and beyond but no one can confirm the genesis type of the Beruang Kanan region The mineralization of the Beruang Kanan area is generally composed by high yields of epithermal sulphide mineralization. with Cu-Au mineralization This high epithermal sulphide deposition coats the upper part of the Cu-Au porphyry precipitate associated with mineralization processes that are generally controlled by the structure
