Abstract:

We constrain the slip and cooling history of the Mykonos detachment footwall using thermochronometry. A U-Pb zircon age of 13.5 ± 0.3 Ma dates intrusion of the Mykonos monzogranite. ^sup 40^Ar/^sup 39^Ar hornblende and biotite ages from the monzogranite are 12.7 ± 0.6 Ma and 10.9 ± 0.6 Ma, whereas zircon and apatite fission-track ages range from 13 ± 0.8 Ma to 10.7 ± 0.8 Ma and 12.5 ± 2.2 Ma to 10.5 ± 1.8 Ma. (U-Th)/He ages range from 13.6 ± 0.6 Ma to 9.0 ± 0.7 Ma fo...
