Inestabilidades y deformación en la cubierta sedimentaria de la parte superior del talud del margen continental de Aquitania, norte del cañon del Capbreton (Golfo de Vizcaya)

Acoustic and core data have recently been collected on the shelf break and the upper part of the slope of the south Aquitaine continental margin. They reveal the major role played by mass-flow gravity processes in deposit erosion and redistribution, modelling of the sea-bed, and transfer of sediment toward the deep-sea. The study region is bounded in the south by the Capbreton canyon. The northern area, which shows a smooth morphology, is characterised by small-scale deformations due to sediment creep or low-amplitude slide processes. The deformations are associated with mini listric-like faults that bound packets of sediments in which the deposit geometry is typical of constructional sediment waves. These sediment waves result from the interaction of depositional and gravity deformation processes. In the southern area, closer to the canyon, wave-like structures are still present but mostly of smaller size. They only result from gravity deformation processes without any evidence of constructional processes. In the vicinity of the Capbreton canyon, the shelf break and upper slope have a much more uneven morphology with sedimentary reliefs, escarpments and depressions directed toward the canyon thalweg. The depressions look like slide scars, and could be the result of regressive slides initiated at the top of the canyon flank. The age of the sliding event responsible for the formation of the depression observed today could be middle to upper Quaternary. Since their formation, these depressions act as conduits that channel the transfer of shelf sediment into the canyon, as demonstrated by the occurrence of a meandering channel on the sea-floor of one depression.Se recogieron datos acústicos y de testigos (cores) en el límite de la plataforma y la parte superior del talud en el margen continental del sur de Aquitania. Estos datos revelan el importante papel que juegan los procesos de flujos en masa por gravedad en la erosión y redistribución de los depósitos, el modelado del lecho marino y la transferencia de sedimentos hacia el fondo del océano. La región de estudio está limitada al sur por el cañón de Capbreton. El área norte, que presenta una morfología suave, está caracterizada por deformaciones de pequeña escala debidas al arrastre de sedimentos o procesos de deslizamiento de baja amplitud. Las deformaciones están asociadas a mini fallas de tipo lístrico que delimitan bolsas de sedimentos en las cuales la geometría del depósito es típica de ondas de sedimento constructivas. Estas ondas sedimentarias resultan de la interacción de los procesos de deformación deposicionales y por gravedad. En el área sur, cerca del cañón, están todavía presentes estructuras similares a ondas, pero la mayor parte son de pequeño tamaño. Estas estructuras son el resultado de los procesos de deformación por gravedad sin ninguna evidencia de procesos constructivos. En las proximidades del cañón de Capbreton, el margen continental y el talud superior tienen una morfología mucho más desigual con relieves sedimentarios, escarpaduras y depresiones dirigidas hacia el talweg del cañón. Las depresiones semejan marcas de deslizamientos y pueden ser el resultado de deslizamientos regresivos iniciados en la parte superior de los flancos del cañón. Los eventos de deslizamiento responsables de la formación de las depresiones observadas actualmente podrían datarse en el Cuaternario medio o superior. Desde su formación, estas depresiones funcionan como conductos que canalizan la transferencia de sedimentos de plataforma hacia el cañón, tal y como demuestra la presencia de un canal con meandros en el fondo de una de estas depresiones

Peralkaline Felsic Magmatism of the Atlantic Islands

The oceanic-island magmatic systems of the Atlantic Ocean exhibit significant diversity in their respective sizes, ages, and the compositional ranges of their eruptive products. Nevertheless, almost all of the Atlantic islands and island groups have produced peralkaline felsic magmas, implying that similar petrogenetic regimes may be operating throughout the Atlantic Ocean, and arguably elsewhere. The origins of peralkaline magmas are frequently linked to low-degree partial melting of enriched mantle, followed by protracted differentiation in the shallow crust. However, additional petrogenetic processes such as magma mixing, crustal melting, and contamination have been identified at numerous peralkaline centers. The onset of peralkalinity leads to magma viscosities lower than those typical for metaluminous felsic magmas, which has profound implications for processes such as crystal settling. This study represents a compilation of published and original data which demonstrates trends that suggest that the peralkaline magmas of the Atlantic Ocean islands are generated primarily via extended (up to ∼ 95%), open system fractional crystallization of mantle-derived mafic magmas. Crustal assimilation is likely to become more significant as the system matures and fusible material accumulates in the crust. Magma mixing may occur between various compositional end-members and may be recognized via hybridized intermediate magmas. The peralkaline magmas are hydrous, and frequently zoned in composition, temperature, and/or water content. They are typically stored in shallow crustal magma reservoirs (∼ 2–5 km), maintained by mafic replenishment. Low melt viscosities (1 × 101.77 to 1 × 104.77 Pa s) facilitate two-phase flow, promoting the formation of alkali-feldspar crystal mush. This mush may then contribute melt to an overlying melt lens via filter pressing or partial melting. We utilize a three-stage model to account for the establishment, development, and termination of peralkaline magmatism in the ocean island magmatic systems of the Atlantic. We suggest that the overall control on peralkaline magmatism in the Atlantic is magma flux rate, which controls the stability of upper crustal magma reservoirs. The abundance of peralkaline magmas in the Atlantic suggests that their development must be a common, but not inevitable, stage in the evolution of ocean islands
