Abstract

Cabeza de Araya pluton is the main exponent of Central Extremadura batholith. Previous crystallization ages for this batholith gave an age between 302-303 Ma. A sampling of the main facies of the Cabeza de Araya pluton has led to a sequential agesof emplacement, obtained by SHRIMP, from 308 ± 1.5 Ma to 305 ± 2 Ma for the three main facies. Facies E, known as orthogneiss of Garrovillas has an age of 296 ± 3 Ma This difference between the main body and this unit is proposed that can be caused by two different hypotheses. A) it is a different magmatic pulse, being its age similar to other intrusive on the region (e.g. La Alberca, Mérida) or B) This age is the reflection of a tectonothermal event that has passed the closure temperature of zircon system and would be related to the deformation that seem to show the rocks of this facies.
