摘要: This paper reports the dating of apatite fission tracks in eleven rock samples from South Shetland Archipelago, an island arc located to north-west Antarctic Peninsula. Apatites Livingston Island were dated as belonging Oligocene (25.8 Ma: metasediments, Miers Bluff Formation, Hurd Peninsula) through Miocene (18.8 tonalites, Barnard Point). Those King George slightly older, Early (32.5 granodiorites, Barton Peninsula). Towards back-arc basin (Bransfield Basin), appears be younger. allows opening rate approximately 1.1 km Ma -1 (during Miocene-Oligocene interval) calculated for Bransfield Basin. Optimization data suggests cooling 100 ± 10oC was coeval with end main magmatic event Arc (Oligocene), and indicates different tectonic- exhumation histories tectonic blocks.
