The results of reinterpretation of the geophysical data obtained during the study of the central sector of the Kuril Island Arc (2005–2010) are reported. The new boundaries of the shallow bedding of the basement and its block uplifts of varied composition are defined within the previously discovered zone of tectonic stretching and destruction of the Vityaz submarine ridge and interarc trough. Interblock depressions filled with sedimentary and volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks are distinguished. Areas represented by volcanoplutonic complexes including basic and sialic series (up to granite) are distinguished within the unbroken basement of the Vityaz Ridge. Intrusions and volcanic edifices composed of basic rocks are registered on the whole area studied. The relationship between the formation of the destruction zone and the geodynamic processes in the mantle is illustrated by the map of the Moho relief and structural-density model of the Earth’s crust.  相似文献

Results of geological research conducted by the Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far East Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the submarine Vityaz Ridge during Cruise 37 of R/V Akademik M.A. Lavrentyev in 2005 are discussed. Various rocks constituting the basement and sedimentary cover of the ridge were dredged in three areas of the ridge. Based on isotope geochronology, petrogeochemical, petrographic, and paleontological data and comparison with similar rocks available from the adjacent land and Sea of Okhotsk, they are subdivided into several age complexes. Late Cretaceous, Eocene, Late Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene-Pleistocene complexes are defined among the igneous rocks, while volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks are united into Late Cretaceous-Early Paleocene (late Campanian-Danian), undivided Paleogene (Paleocene-Eocene?), Oligocene-early Miocene, and Pliocene-Pleistocene complexes. The obtained data on the age and formation settings of the defined complexes made it possible to reconstruct the geological evolution of the central Pacific slope of the Kurile island arc.  相似文献

This paper reports the results of geological studies at the submarine Vityaz Ridge carried out during cruises 37 and 41 on the R/V “Akademik Lavrent’ev” in 2005 and 2006. The studied area is located at the near-island trench of the slope in the central part of the Kurile island arc. Morphologically, it consists of two parts: inner volcanic arc represented by the Great Kurile Range and outer arc corresponding to the submarine Vityaz Ridge. Diverse rocks that compose the basement and sedimentary cover of the ridge were recovered by dredging. Based on K-Ar dating and geochemistry, the volcanics were divided into Paleocene, Eocene, late Oligocene, and Pliocene-Pleistocene complexes. Each of the distinguished complexes reflects the tectonomagmatic stage in the ridge evolution. The geochemical and isotope data on the volcanics indicate the contribution of ancient crustal material in magma source and, correspondingly, the formation of this structure on the continental basement. Two-stage model ages, TDM2, vary in a wide range from zero values in the mafic rocks to 0.77 Ga in felsic varieties, pointing to the presence of Precambrian protolith in the source of the felsic rocks of the Vityaz Ridge. The Pliocene-Pleistocene volcanics are classed with the tholeiitic, calc-alkaline, and subalkaline series, which differ in alkali contents and REE fractionation. The values of (La/Sm)N and (La/Yb)N ratios vary from 0.74 and 0,84 in the tholeiitic varieties to 1.19 and 1.44 in the calcalkaline and 2.32 and 3.73 in the subalkaline rocks. All three varieties occur within the same volcanic edifices and were formed during differentiation of magmatic melt that were channeled along fault zones from the mantle source slightly enriched in crustal component  相似文献

This paper reports the characteristics of granitoids from the Pacific slope of the Kuril island arc system, which were discovered by the authors during geological and geophysical operations in three cruises of the R/V Akademik M. Lavrent’ev. The major and trace element compositions of these rocks were determined, their role in the formation of the submarine Vityaz Ridge was evaluated, and they were compared with granitoids from the Brouton group of submarine volcanoes and xenoliths from Simushir Island and the Sea of Okhotsk. Granitoids from various structures of the basement of the Kuril island arc system are hypabyssal rocks derived from andesite magmas. Their common features are related to the formation on the continental crust under convergent geodynamic conditions involving compression due to the movement and subduction of the Pacific plate beneath the Asian continent. The problem of the basement of the Kuril island arc system was discussed, the composition and age of its rocks were determined, and the history of the geologic development of the Pacific slope of the arc starting from the Late Mesozoic was briefly described.  相似文献

Shikotan Island of the Lesser Kuril Ridge forms, together with the Vityaz Ridge, the outer arc of the Kuril island-arc system. Marine Pliocene sediments first registered on the island contain diatoms and palynomorphs, which allow their dating. The thin Pliocene semiconsolidated sediments constitute the upper part of sections in the coastal and central areas of the island. They rest with the erosional surface and stratigraphic hiatus upon the Upper Cretaceous-Lower Paleogene (Campanian-Danian) Malokuril’sk Formation. The Pliocene sediments were deposited in relatively shallow-water environments of open sea near the shore, with a forest-free landscape and freshwater basins. The occurrence of reworked marine Oligocene and Miocene diatoms in these sedimentary rocks indicates their development in the Lesser Kuril Ridge area and contribution of their eroded material to the formation of Pliocene sequences. Wide development of Pliocene Marine sediments on Shikotan Island is evidence for ascending movements in the region during the post-Pliocene period, which is also characteristic of the Greater Kuril Ridge islands. The composition and formation conditions of the Pliocene sediments in the outer arc of the Kuril island-arc system suggest that the southwestern (Lesser Kuril Ridge) and northeastern (Vityaz Ridge) segments of this single anticlinal structure evolved under different tectonic regimes through the Pliocene.  相似文献

The results of the geochemical studies of the Late Oligocene-Pleistocene volcanic rocks that accompanied the formation of the deep-water basins of the Seas of Japan and Okhotsk are presented. These rocks have an initially mantle origin that is a derivative of a single source—spinel perodotites. They formed as a result of the partial melting of secondary plumes located in the head part of the major mantle plume. This plume rose very closely to the surface in the area of the Japanese (Central) basin, where the marginal-sea basaltoids with chemical properties of HIMU (OIB) sources were established. The continental lithosphere (the upper mantle and the crust) was involved in the magma formation in the area of the Kuril basin and the Vityaz Ridge at the earliest rifting stage in the Late Oligocene-Early Miocene and at the final stage in the Pliocene-Pleistocene.  相似文献

The structure of the sedimentary cover and acoustic basement in the northeastern Russian Arctic region is analyzed. Beneath the western continuation of the North Chukchi trough and Vil’kitskii trough, a Late Caledonian (Ellesmere) folded and metamorphozed basement is discovered. It is supposed that Caledonides continue further into the Podvodnikov Basin until the Geofizikov branch. A large magnetic anomaly in the Central Arctic zone has been verified by seismostratigraphic data: the acoustic basement beneath the Mendeleev (and partially Alpha) Ridge is overlain by trapps. Wave field analysis showed that the acoustic basement of the Lomonosov Ridge has folded structure, whereas beneath the Mendeleev Ridge, the sporadic presence of a weakly folded stratum of Paleozoic platform deposits is interpreted. It is supposed that the Caledonian and Late Cimmerian fold belts in the periphery of the Arctida paleocontinent appeared as a result of collision between arctic continental masses and southern ones. After Miocene extension and block displacements identified from appearance of horsts, grabens, and transverse rises both on the shelf and in the ocean, a general subsidence took place and the present-day shelf, slope, and the deepwater part of the Arctic Ocean formed.  相似文献

This paper reports and discusses the composition of the rocks of the Kotikovo Group (the Uchir, Zaslonovskaya, Turovskay, and Ol’don formations) of the Terpeniya Peninsula (East Sakhalin). It is suggested that the Cenozoic deposits unconformably overlay the Maastrichtian-Danian rocks with basal conglomerates at the base. Two main stages were distinguished in the Late Cretaceous-Paleogene evolution of this area on the basis of our study. The first stage was responsible for the formation of the Maastrichtian-Danian volcaniclastic and volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks of the Uchir Group, while the second stage produced the Paleocene-Eocene sedimentary rocks of the Zaslonovskaya, Turovskaya, and Ol’don formations. The end of the first stage (at the boundary of the Uchir and Zaslonovskaya formations) was marked by a change in the tectonic regime. This was expressed in the weakening of the volcanic activity, the uplift of the territory, and the exposure of new provenances to erosion. During the second, Early Paleogene stage, the area of the East Sakhalin Mountains, the Terpeniya Peninsula, and the submarine Terpeniya Ridge represented a shallow-water marine sedimentary basin representing the western flank of the Cenozoic Pogranichnyi Basin. The formation of the anticlinal East Sakhalin Mountains-Terpeniya Peninsula-submarine Terpeniya Ridge structure occurred during the Late Cenozoic period of the East Sakhalin evolution.  相似文献

漠河盆地上侏罗统物源分析及其地质意义   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
为了探讨晚侏罗世漠河盆地的构造类型,笔者等对其物源特征进行了系统分析。通过古水流分析、母岩成分分析和源区构造背景分析认为:①晚侏罗世漠河盆地的物源来自南北两个方向;②北部物源区位于西伯利亚板块南缘,为蒙古—鄂霍茨克造山带,母岩成分主要为花岗岩、变质岩、中酸性火山岩、中基性火山岩和沉积岩;③南部物源区位于大兴安岭北部,为下伏板块基底,母岩成分主要为花岗岩、变质岩和沉积岩;④北部造山带物源区的构造背景为早中生代的活动大陆边缘。晚侏罗世漠河盆地具有典型前陆盆地的双向物源特征,一方面来自北部造山带,一方面来自盆地下伏板块基底。根据物源特征、区域大地构造背景和俄罗斯上阿穆尔盆地(黑龙江在俄罗斯称为阿穆尔河)有关资料认为晚侏罗世漠河盆地可能为漠河—上阿穆尔周缘前陆盆地的南半部分,其形成和演化受蒙古—鄂霍茨克造山带制约。  相似文献

粤西云开地区基底变质岩的组成和形成   总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1  
云开地块被认为是华南西南部一个重要的前寒武纪变质基底出露区,但对其基底组成的认识仍存在较大争议。本文对云开地块内基底变质岩进行了岩石地球化学、锆石U-Pb-Hf同位素分析。分析结果表明云开地块的基底主要由于新元古代-早古生代的变质沉积岩组成。它们具有比上地壳平均成分更高的Si O2和相对更低的Al2O3、Ca O、Na2O,岩石成熟度中等。微量元素与PAAS相似,但Sr、Cr、Ni等强烈亏损,高场强元素Nb、Ta轻度亏损,而大多数样品的Zr、Hf、Th、U等轻度富集,说明源区更富集长英质组分而贫镁铁组分。地球化学特征和碎屑锆石组成指示这套沉积岩形成于被动大陆边缘环境,源区既有古老的再循环物质,也有大量未经明显改造的新元古代岩浆物质。综合本文和前人的锆石U-Pb定年数据,云开地块基底变质岩原岩可以分为两组:第一组样品形成较早(时代上限为850~522Ma),总体年龄谱特征显示出与华夏南岭地区的亲缘性。这组样品的源区主要有4次岩浆作用(2700~2400Ma、1800~1400Ma、1150~900Ma、850~700Ma),均涉及到古老地壳再循环以及新生地壳的加入,但以再循环的物质为主。最主要的新生地壳生长发生在新太古代和Grenville期。而第二组样品的沉积时代在517Ma之后,具有与扬子南缘新元古代沉积岩的相似性。这组亲扬子沉积物的源区具有不同的4次岩浆事件(2600~2350Ma、2000~1750Ma、1700~1500Ma、900~750Ma),新太古代晚期-古元古早期岩浆主要涉及古老基底再循环。古元古晚期-中元古早期岩浆大多起源于新生地壳物质,而新元古代是最重要的新生地壳生长期,同时也涉及大量古老地壳物质的再循环。不同时代沉积岩的碎屑物质组成变化表明大概在522~517Ma之间云开沉积盆地和物源区受到一定程度的构造运动影响,使得源区由华夏地块变成扬子地块。这期构造事件很可能是早古生代造山事件的初始阶段。根据本文资料和其他证据我们认为云开地块归属于华夏板块,扬子与华夏地块的分界线至少在云开地块以北,且很可能在平乐与平南之间。  相似文献

Petrographic, geochemical, and isotopic data have been obtained for 33 samples selected to provide constraints on contamination models for the volcanic and intrusive components of the Late Permian to Early Triassic, Siberian flood-volcanic province. Twenty-one of these samples were carried from great depth in an explosive diatreme of Triassic age, whereas 12 were collected from drill core from depths of tens to 2000 m. The studied diatreme xenoliths are: (1) fragments of the crystalline basement; and (2) fragments of a basaltic-to-rhyolitic volcanic suite.

Prompted by an unexpected, Late Paleozoic, Rb-Sr isochron age for this compositionally diverse volcanic suite, a SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age of ~270 Ma was obtained for a rhyodacite xenolith. Previously, a SHRIMP zircon U-Pb age of ~910 Ma had been determined for a leucogranite xenolith from the crystalline basement; this sample also contains substantial amounts of inherited, Early Proterozoic and Archean zircon.

The presence of this volcanic suite, only ~20 m.y. older than the 251 Ma, flood-volcanic sequence, is an extremely provocative result, inasmuch as hundreds of exploration drill holes in the Noril'sk area, and throughout the Siberian platform, have encountered only Tungusskaya Series coal-bearing sedimentary rocks in this stratigraphic/time interval. These data support arguments that subduction/underthrusting from the West Siberian Lowland under the northwest margin of the Siberian craton took place in Late Permian time.

The isotopic data obtained for the xenolith suite indicate that the upper part of the crystalline basement under the northwest margin of the Siberian craton is composed of Late Proterozoic (Riphean) rocks-alkaline granites, trondhjemites, crystalline schists, gneisses, and amphibolites-with much in common with rocks of the Central zone of the Taymyr folded area, which has been interpreted as an accretionary block formed and joined to Siberia in Late Riphean to Vendian time.

Measured isotopic characteristics for the Precambrian crystalline basement, and the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks that host the ore-bearing intrusions in the Noril'sk region, provide parameters for quantitative modeling of crustal contamination during evolution of the Siberian flood-volcanic rocks and related intrusions, both while en route to the surface and at the site of intrusion emplacement.  相似文献

The geochemical and Sm–Nd isotope characteristics of Late Precambrian and Early Cambrian sandstones previously related to the sedimentary cover of the Dzabkhan continental block are reported. It is established that the Riphean and Vendian sedimentary rocks of the Ul’zitgol’skaya and Tsaganolomskaya Formations were accumulated within the Dzabkhan continental block as a result of recycling of the terrigenous deposits formed at the expense of destruction of basement rocks and younger granite. The formation of terrigenous rocks of the Bayangol’skaya Formation after a gap in sedimentation occurred in the sedimentary basin, where only the Late Riphean formations of the juvenile crust, probably of the Dzabkhan–Mandal block were the sources, without the contribution of the ancient crustal material. The Tsaganolomskaya and Bayangol’skaya Formations were formed in different sedimentary basins and cannot be related to the same complex.  相似文献

Igneous and sedimentary rocks recently dredged and cored from the steep western slope of the Beata Ridge provide important data on the composition, age and details of crustal evolution of the rock-types responsible for recorded compressional wave velocities. The sedimentary rock samples also provide new data concerning the age and depositional environment of overlying sedimentary reflectors.

The deepest (4,100 m) dredge haul contains deeply weathered coarsegrained igneous rocks. Nine other hauls, distributed between 4,000–2,300 m, contain holocrystalline basalts and diabases. The compressional wave velocity of air-dried samples of two holocrystalline basalts and a diabase at atmospheric pressure ranges from 5.0–5.6 km/sec. Sampling in depths less than 2,300 m shows that the crest of the Beata Ridge is capped by Quaternary deposits underlain by consolidated carbonate sediment of at least Middle Eocene age. The faunal assemblages of the Mid-Eocene samples are the product of normal accumulation in a shallow shelf environment.

The dredging results coupled with previously published seismic reflection and refraction data, suggest that the 5.4–5.7 km/sec crust is composed of a layer of basalt and diabase which outcrops below 2,300 m, on a fault-generated escarpment that was produced in the Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary. The shallow shelf samples of Eocene age indicate that the Beata Ridge was higher in the Early Tertiary and has subsided subsequently to its present depth.  相似文献

新的区域地质调查在海南岛东北部木栏头地区识别出一套从前未知的中级变质杂岩。木栏头变质杂岩主要沿林新—木栏头—虎威岭—赤坡—七星岭—新埠海—铺前海边沿岸呈基岩或不同尺度的无根岩块断续出露,其主体是钙硅酸盐岩和正、副片麻岩,含有少量斜长角闪岩、石英岩和大理岩,并按分布区域可进一步区分出林新片麻岩- 斜长角闪岩组合、木栏头变质火山岩- 钙硅酸盐岩组合、虎威岭- 七星岭片麻岩- 钙硅酸盐岩- 大理岩组合和新埠海- 铺前片麻岩组合等四套岩石组合。对30件变质基性岩、变质中酸性岩、变质碎屑沉积岩、钙硅酸盐岩以及花岗和伟晶岩脉等不同类型岩石的锆石U- Pb定年结果表明,木栏头变质杂岩的原岩主体是一套二叠纪火山- 沉积岩系,其内含有少量二叠纪花岗质侵入岩以及前寒武纪结晶基底的残留。前寒武纪结晶基底主要包括古元古代晚期(1670 Ma)碎屑沉积岩和中元古代早期(1460~1410 Ma)花岗质片麻岩,晚二叠世碱性花岗岩中还存在大量单一的中元古代晚期(1180 Ma)继承锆石。变质沉积岩中的早期碎屑锆石年龄峰值为2550~2490 Ma、1850~1780 Ma、1600~1560 Ma、1450 Ma和1100 Ma,表明其物源主要来自于海南岛中部的抱板群、石碌群和石灰顶组。二叠纪花岗岩的侵入时代主要为280 Ma和260 Ma,与陆缘弧前盆地环境下形成的火山- 沉积岩系的时代基本一致。这些沉积岩中的碎屑锆石除具有395~345 Ma和280~256 Ma两个年龄峰值外,部分样品还含有960~930 Ma和450~410 Ma两个重要年龄峰值,与前人在海南岛晚古生代地层中获得的年代学结果相似。木栏头变质杂岩经历了晚二叠世—中三叠世(254~235 Ma)高角闪岩相区域变质和深熔作用以及花岗和伟晶岩脉的大规模侵入,独居石U- Pb定年表明中侏罗世(159 Ma)花岗岩脉也侵入其中。结合近年发表的研究资料,我们认为海南岛应属于印支陆块的一部分,由中元古代结晶基底和早古生代盖层构成的琼南地体以及该地体演化而来的琼北构造混杂岩带两个次级构造单元组成,邦溪- 晨星构造带或昌江- 琼海断裂不能被视为华南和印支陆块间的构造边界,真正的古特提斯缝合带(即金沙江- 哀牢山- 马江缝合带的东延)应位于木栏头北部,大致相当于现今琼州海峡断裂的位置。华南和印支陆块间古特提斯洋盆的关闭始于石炭纪(340~300 Ma)洋壳的南向俯冲,形成北部的潮滩鼻榴辉岩和南部的邦溪- 晨星弧后盆地,二叠纪时期(280~255 Ma)洋盆持续俯冲形成海南岛主体大陆岛弧以及木栏头弧前盆地,而后洋盆最终关闭并进入到陆- 陆碰撞和碰撞后伸展阶段,从而形成木栏头变质杂岩以及海南岛内部其他三叠纪变质岩和同期花岗质岩石。  相似文献

We consider the general and specific features of the evolution of the composition of fine-grained terrigenous rocks in the Riphean sedimentary megasequences of the Southern Urals, Uchur-Maya region, and Yenisei Ridge. It has been established that the crust on the southwestern (in the modern frame of references) periphery of the Siberian craton was geochemically the most mature segment of the Riphean continental crust. For example, the fine-grained clastic rocks and metapelites of all Riphean lithostratigraphic units of the Yenisei Ridge have higher median contents of Th than the most mature Paleoproterozoic crust, and in median contents of Y and Cr/Th values they are the most similar to it. In the Southern Urals and Uchur-Maya region, some units of the Riphean sedimentary sequences show median contents of Y and Th and Cr/Th values close to those of primitive Archean crust. Analysis of Cr/Th variations in the fine-grained terrigenous rocks of all three megasequences shows that the minimum Cr/Th values, evidencing a predominance or the abundance of felsic rocks in provenances, are typical of the Riphean argillaceous shales and metapelites of the Yenisei Ridge. The distinct Cr/Th and Cr/Sc increase in the fine-grained clastic rocks of the Chingasan Group of the ridge reflects the large-scale destruction of continental crust during the formation of rift troughs as a result of the Rodinia breakup in the second half of the Late Riphean. The Cr/Th variations in the Lower and Middle Riphean argillaceous shales and mudstones of the Bashkirian mega-anticlinorium and Uchur-Maya region are in agreement, which evidences the subglobal occurrence of rifting in the early Middle Riphean (so-called “Mashak rifting”).  相似文献

New geochronological and isotopic geochemical data are given, which make it possible to recognize two types of granitic rocks on the eastern Chukchi Peninsula. Early Cretaceous Tkachen and Dolina granitic plutons with zircon ages (U–Pb SIMS) of 119–122 and 131–136 Ma are related to the first type. They cut through Devonian–Lower Carboniferous basement rocks and are overlain by the Aptian–Albian Etelkuyum Formation. Basal units of the latter contain fragments of granitic rocks. Late Cretaceous Provideniya and Rumilet granitic plutons, which contain zircons with ages of 94 and 85 Ma (U–Pb SIMS), respectively, belong to the second type. They cut through volcanic–sedimentary rocks of the Etelkuyum and Leurvaam formations pertaining to the Okhotsk–Chukotka Volcanic Belt. In petrographic and geochemical features, the Early Cretaceous granitic rocks of the Tkachen Pluton are commensurable with I-type granites, while Late Cretaceous granite of the Rumilet Pluton is comparable to A2-type granite. The Sr–Nd isotopic data provide evidence that from the Early Cretaceous Tkachen and Dolina plutons to the Late Cretaceous Provideniya and Rumilet plutons, the degree of crustal assimilation of suprasubduction mantle-derived melts increases up to partial melting of heterogeneous continental crust enriched in rubidium. An unconformity and various degrees of secondary alteration of volcanic–sedimentary rocks have been established in the Okhotsk–Chukotka Volcanic Belt, and this was apparently caused by transition of the tectonic setting from suprasubduction to a transform margin with local extension.  相似文献

塔里木盆地东南缘的阿尔金山被认为是塔里木克拉通变质基底的主要出露地区之一。 本文通过阿尔金山北坡不整合在太古代-古元古代变质基底之上的安南坝群中的碎屑岩和中南阿尔金中深变质岩石(原定为阿尔金岩群)的锆石U-Pb年代学研究,来确定塔里木盆地东南缘变质基底的性质及所经历的多期构造热历史。研究结果显示,塔里木盆地东南缘的安南坝群中含砾砂岩的碎屑锆石年龄集中在1.92Ga左右,少量在2.0~2.4Ga,表明其碎屑物质主要来源于下伏的太古代-早元古代米兰岩群和相关的深成侵入体。在中阿尔金地块和南阿尔金俯冲碰撞杂岩带的深变质岩石中,锆石U-Pb年代学数据表明其记录有新元古代早期(920~940Ma)、新元古代晚期(760Ma左右)和早古生代(450~500Ma)三期构造热事件,新元古代早期的构造热事件与塔里木(或晋宁)造山作用有关,它普遍存在于塔里木盆地周缘的和南中国地块(扬子克拉通)的变质基底岩石中,与Rodinia超级大陆汇聚相关;新元古代晚期的构造热事件也同样广泛存在于塔里木盆地周缘和扬子克拉通之中,被认为与Rodinia超大陆的裂解作用有关。因此,在新元古代时期,阿尔金的地质演化历史与扬子克拉通非常相似,而与华北则有很大的不同,锆石U-Pb测定还表明中南阿尔金的深变质岩石普遍遭受了早古生代的变质作用的改造,显示它们普遍卷入了早古生代的碰撞造山事件之中,成为早古生代碰撞造山带的组成部分。  相似文献

The Northern, Central, and Southern zones are distinguished by stratigraphic, lithologic, and structural features. The Northern Zone is characterized by Upper Silurian–Lower Devonian sedimentary rocks, which are not known in other zones. They have been deformed into near-meridional folds, which formed under settings of near-latitudinal shortening during the Ellesmere phase of deformation. In the Central Zone, mafic and felsic volcanic rocks that had been earlier referred to Carboniferous are actually Neoproterozoic and probably Early Cambrian in age. Together with folded Devonian–Lower Carboniferous rocks, they make up basement of the Central Zone, which is overlain with a angular unconformity by slightly deformed Lower (?) and Middle Carboniferous–Permian rocks. The Southern Zone comprises the Neoproterozoic metamorphic basement and the Devonian–Triassic sedimentary cover. North-vergent fold–thrust structures were formed at the end of the Early Cretaceous during the Chukchi (Late Kimmerian) deformation phase.  相似文献

Recent multidisciplinary geophysical measurements over the Lomonosov Ridge close to the North Pole support the widely held belief that it was formerly part of Eurasia. The known lithologies, ages, P-wave velocity structure and thickness of the crust along the outer Barents and Kara continental shelves are similar to permitted or measured values of these parameters newly acquired over the Lomonosov Ridge. Seismic, gravity and magnetic data in particular show that the ridge basement is most likely formed of early Mesozoic or older sedimentary or low-grade metasedimentary rocks over a crystalline core that is intermediate to basic in composition. Short-wavelength magnetic anomaly highs along the upper ridge flanks and crest may denote the presence of shallow igneous rocks. Because of the uncertain component of ice-rafted material, seafloor sediments recovered from the ridge by shallow sampling techniques cannot be clearly related to ridge basement lithology without further detailed analysis. The ridge is cut at the surface and at depth by normal faults that appear related to the development of the Makarov Basin. This and other data are consistent with the idea that the Makarov Basin was formed by continental stretching rather than simple seafloor spreading. Hence the flanking Alpha and Lomonosov ridges may originally have been part of the same continental block. It is suggested that in Late Cretaceous time this block was sheared from Eurasia along a trans-Arctic left-lateral offset that may have been associated with the opening of Baffin Bay. The continental block was later separated from Eurasia when the North Altantic rift extended into the Arctic region in the Early Tertiary. The data suggest that the Makarov Basin did not form before the onset of rifting in the Artic.  相似文献
