ABSTRACT. Petrological and
geochronological data of six representative samples of exotic blocks
of amphibolite and associated tonalite‐trondhjemite from the
serpentinitic mélange of the Sierra del Convento (eastern Cuba)
indicate counterclockwise P–T paths typical of material subducted in
hot and young subduction zones. Peak conditions attained were ca.
750 °C and 15 kbar, consistent with the generation of tonalitic
partial melts observed in amphibolite. A tonalite boulder provides a
U‐Pb zircon crystallization age of 112.8±1.1 Ma, and Ar/Ar amphibole
dating yielded two groups of cooling ages of 106–97 Ma (interpreted
as cooling of metamorphic/magmatic pargasite) and 87–83 Ma (interpreted
as growth/cooling of retrograde overprints). These geochronological
data, in combination with other published data, allow the following
history of subduction and exhumation to be established in the region:
(i) a stage of hot subduction 120–115 Ma, developed upon onset of
subduction; (ii) relatively fast near‐isobaric cooling (25 °C·Myr−1)
115–107 Ma, after accretion of the blocks to the upper plate
lithospheric mantle; (iii) slow syn‐subduction cooling (4 °C·Myr−1)
and exhumation (0.7 km·Myr−1) in the subduction channel 107–70 Ma;
and (iv) fast syn‐collision cooling (74 °C·Myr−1) and exhumation (5
km·Myr−1) 70–Ma.

The proposed changes through Earth’s history in the behavior of
mantle plumes, illustrated from 3 billion years ago to present in a
clockwise direction. The model assumes that the mantle has been
cooling by 100 Kelvin every billion years, leading to changes in the
behavior of the transition zone near 500 km depth and its influence
on rising plumes. The blue layer at the outer boundary indicates the
thermal lithosphere, which becomes thicker as the mantle temperature
decreases.
