- We present eight Rb-Sr multi-mineral isochron ages showing that high-temperature metamorphic conditions and partial melting during top-to-the-NNE extensional shearing in the footwall of the Naxos extensional fault system (i.e. Naxos metamorphic core complex) lasted until about 14-12 Ma. One migmatite sample yielded an age of 14.34 +/- 0.2 Ma (2 sigma uncertainty) for crystallization of migmatization-related melt pockets. Four pegmatite samples, which are in part associated with partial melting of their host rocks, provided overlapping ages ranging from 13.81 to 12.23 Ma (age range includes 2 sigma uncertainty). Additional three samples of amphibolite-facies schist supplied Rb-Sr ages of around 14 Ma. Samples showing fluid- and/or deformation-assisted white mica and biotite reworking gave Rb-Sr mineral apparent ages of 11.1 +/- 2.7, 10.16 +/- 0.24, 9.7 +/- 0.7 and 9.6 +/- 0.15 Ma. These ages are interpreted to be associated with late stages of extensional shearing under greenschist-facies metamorphic conditions. Together with published U-Pb zircon ages of migmatite, and S- and I-type granite crystallization, the data indicate that the presence of melt in the footwall of the Naxos extensional fault system lasted for at least 7 Ma (from similar to 18 to similar to 11 Ma). This demonstrates that high temperatures and crustal melting resulting from and aiding extensional deformation was a long-lived and not a transient event. We conclude that melt-assisted deformation facilitated large-scale displacement on the Naxos extensional fault system by drastically weakening the extending crust for long periods of time.
