松辽盆地晚期热历史及其构造意义: 磷灰石裂变径迹(AFT)证据 总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8
磷灰石裂变径迹(AFT)分析表明松辽盆地晚期构造活动在空间上具有分区性, 在时间上具有幕式性. 空间上的分区性表现在晚期构造活动始于盆地东部, 并逐渐向西部迁移. 盆地东部裂变径迹年龄大, 表明进入抬升剥蚀作用的时间早, 而西部裂变径迹年龄小, 表明进入抬升剥蚀作用的时间晚. 盆地的抬升剥蚀量与主要构造单元关系密切, 但是东部的抬升剥蚀量明显大于中央隆起带和西部斜坡带. 时间的幕式性表现在盆地的热演化历史经历了两幕快速冷却和紧随快速冷却之后的缓慢冷却过程, 磷灰石裂变径迹的蒙特卡罗随机模拟进一步限定不同热演化的转折时间为65, 43.5, 28和15 Ma. 结合盆地所处的区域构造背景认为松辽盆地晚期热事件是对太平洋板块向欧亚板块俯冲的响应. 其中第一幕快速冷却与紧随其后的缓慢冷却过程是对燕山运动主幕构造运动的响应, 抬升剥蚀的时间可能始于嫩江组末期, 并持续到始新世末期. 盆地的抬升剥蚀速率与板块汇聚速率密切相关, 板块汇聚速率高, 抬升剥蚀速率高, 反之抬升剥蚀速率低. 第二幕快速冷却和紧随其后的缓慢冷却是对日本海的拉张与闭合的响应. 日本海的拉张导致地幔热流向日本海汇聚, 使盆地快速冷却, 相反, 日本海的闭合使盆地进入进一步的缓慢沉降阶段, 盆地的冷却速率下降. 相似文献

鄂尔多斯盆地东南缘处于渭北隆起、晋西挠褶带和东秦岭造山带的转折地带,构造位置独特,演化历史复杂.本文选取东缘韩城地区和南缘东秦岭洛南地区上三叠统延长组为研究对象,采集6件砂岩样品进行锆石、磷灰石裂变径迹分析,对关键构造-热事件提供热年代学约束,恢复盆地东南缘不同构造带的热演化史,深化对盆地东南部油气资源赋存条件的认识,以期实现油气勘探的新突破.研究表明韩城和洛南地区的抬升冷却史存在明显差异.磷灰石裂变径迹年龄表现为从南到北减小的趋势.东缘韩城剖面磷灰石裂变径迹记录51.6~66.3 Ma、33 Ma两次抬升冷却的峰值年龄.南缘洛南剖面锆石裂变径迹年龄和磷灰石裂变径迹年龄分别记录89~106 Ma和59~66 Ma的冷却抬升年龄.洛南地区抬升冷却时间较早,剥蚀速率(106m/Ma)大于韩城地区(68m/Ma),且持续时间长.磷灰石裂变径迹(Apatite Fission Track,AFT)热史模拟显示,晚中生代,受燕山运动的影响,东秦岭地区发生强烈的构造岩浆事件,洛南地区热演化程度明显高于韩城地区.洛南剖面的热演化主要受岩浆活动的控制,韩城剖面为埋藏增温型.鄂尔多斯盆地东南缘的裂变径迹年龄格局基本受控于白垩纪以来的抬升冷却事件. 相似文献

日喀则弧前盆地的埋藏和剥蚀历史——来自低温热年代学的约束 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
日喀则弧前盆地紧邻印度板块与欧亚大陆碰撞带,研究其剥蚀历史对理解印度板块与欧亚大陆碰撞对造山带剥蚀的影响具有重要意义。文中利用磷灰石裂变径迹(AFT)及锆石和磷灰石的(U-Th)/He(ZHe和AHe)年龄数据,结合已发表的低温热年代数据探讨日喀则弧前盆地的热演化和剥露历史。日喀则弧前盆地磷灰石裂变径迹年龄存在明显的南北差异,南部磷灰石裂变径迹年龄为74～44Ma,对应的剥蚀速率为0. 03～0. 1km/Ma,剥蚀量≤2km;北部磷灰石裂变径迹年龄为27～15Ma,剥蚀速率为0. 09～0. 29km/Ma,但缺失早新生代的热演化历史。而磷灰石的(U-Th)/He年龄表明15Ma BP之后日喀则弧前盆地整体呈现一致的剥露历史。低温热年代数据表明日喀则弧前盆地南部自新生代以来尽管受到印度板块与欧亚大陆碰撞及后期断层活动的影响,海拔由海平面抬升至4. 2km,但一直保持缓慢的剥蚀,表明高原隆升并未直接促使该地区的岩石剥蚀速率加快,这与快速剥蚀即代表造山带开始隆升的假设不相符。此外,日喀则弧前盆地北部的低温热年代学研究表明晚渐新世—早中新世Kailas盆地仅发育于日喀则弧前盆地与冈底斯造山带之间的狭长地带,并在短期内经历了快速的埋藏和剥露。 相似文献

采用磷灰石裂变径迹年龄空间分布特征定性分析与径迹长度分布数据定量模拟相结合,约束了中上扬子地区的抬升剥蚀时限.江汉盆地在157～97Ma和10 Ma以来发生了两期大规模抬升剥蚀;湘鄂西-武陵地区、黔中隆起自137Ma开始持续抬升剥蚀;鄂西渝东、川东褶皱带从97 Ma开始持续抬升剥蚀;川东北和川中地区于56 Ma才开始遭受抬升剥蚀;川西-滇西地区则自23 Ma以来经历了较大规模的抬升剥蚀.印支期以来,中上扬子不同地区抬升剥蚀开始的时间存在明显差异性,总体上由东往西逐渐变晚.齐岳山断裂带以东,大规模抬升剥蚀始于中燕山期（J3-K1）;齐岳山断裂与华蓥山断裂带之间的川东高陡背斜带抬升剥蚀始于晚燕山期（K2）;华蓥山断裂与龙泉山断裂之间的川中和缓褶皱带晚期抬升剥蚀始于喜马拉雅早期(E);龙泉山断裂带以西的川西凹陷晚期抬升剥蚀始于喜马拉雅晚期(N). 相似文献

青藏高原东北缘隆升机制和过程一直以来备受争议,本文为了进一步限定北祁连山及其北缘地区山体的隆升历史,在旱峡、白杨河和红山以及酒泉盆地以北的黑山和金塔南山进行了磷灰石和锆石裂变径迹分析.测试结果表明,研究区基岩样品的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄分布在晚白垩世上新世(82～4.2 Ma),径迹长度介于9.6～13.6 μm;锆石裂变径迹年龄分布范围为106.3～480.5 Ma,多数介于106～195 Ma.结合镜质体反射率,热史模拟曲线揭示了中新生代三期主要的冷却降温事件:早白垩世期间(140～100Ma)、始新世期间(55～30Ma)、中新世(10～8 Ma)以来.早白垩世期间的隆升剥露冷却过程可能由于拉萨地块的北向拼贴碰撞引起;始新世期间的隆升剥露冷却事件可能是印度与欧亚板块碰撞远程快速响应的结果;中新世以来的隆升剥露冷却过程与北祁连山逆冲断层的构造活动有关. 相似文献

青藏高原的隆升与扩展不仅导致欧亚大陆内部发生强烈的构造变形,亦对高原周缘的地貌格局及气候变化产生了重大影响.青藏高原东北缘新生代以来的隆升时代与响应过程一直备受争议,而界定青藏高原东北缘构造带隆升时序是解决争议的关键之一.本研究围绕青藏高原东北缘,在陇中盆地、六盘山褶皱逆冲带和鄂尔多斯地块西南缘地区进行了磷灰石和锆石裂变径迹测试分析和热史模拟.测试分析结果表明研究区样品的磷灰石裂变径迹年龄范围分布于136～16 Ma,裂变径迹的长度范围介于11.9～13.3μm;锆石裂变径迹年龄结果为258～79 Ma,但多数样品的年龄介于160～99 Ma;热史模拟结果揭示了研究区新生代以来至少经历了两期隆升和冷却降温事件,即始新世期间(55～30 Ma)和中中新世(17～12 Ma)以来.始新世期间(55～30 Ma)发生的隆升事件可能是印度大陆与欧亚大陆陆陆碰撞远程效应的直接响应,表明印度与欧亚大陆碰撞之初或不久,其应力即已传导至东北缘边界;中中新世(17～12 Ma)以来的隆升剥露冷却事件奠定了青藏高原东北缘现今构造格局. 相似文献

运用裂变径迹分析方法,探讨分析了合肥盆地中新生代的构造热演化特征. 上白垩统和古近系下段样品的磷灰石裂变径迹（AFT）数据主体表现为靠近部分退火带顶部温度(±65℃)有轻度退火,由此估算晚白垩世至古近纪早期合肥盆地断陷阶段的古地温梯度接近38℃/km,高于盆地现今地温梯度(275℃/km).下白垩统、侏罗系及二叠系样品的AFT年龄(975～25Ma)和锆石裂变径迹(ZFT)年龄(118～104Ma)均明显小于其相应的地层年龄,AFT年龄－深度分布呈现冷却型曲线形态,且由古部分退火带、冷却带或前完全退火带及其深部的今部分退火带组成,指示早白垩世的一次构造热事件和其随后的抬升冷却过程. 基于AFT曲线的温度分带模式和流体包裹体测温数据的综合约束,推算合肥盆地早白垩世走滑压陷阶段的古地温梯度接近67℃/km. 径迹年龄分布、AFT曲线拐点年龄和区域抬升剥蚀时间的对比分析结果表明,合肥盆地在早白垩世构造热事件之后的104Ma以来总体处于抬升冷却过程,后期快速抬升冷却事件主要发生在±55Ma. 相似文献

现代的天山山脉是在古生代造山基础上,于新生代强烈抬升而形成.其新生代造山和隆升过程,造就了现今的天山地貌格局.本文选取西南天山作为研究区域,采用河床砂岩屑裂变径迹测年分析,从统计角度限定西南天山的隆升-剥露过程.样品采集于特克斯河支流阿克雅孜河、夏特河、木扎河以及特克斯河干流的沉积河床.磷灰石裂变径迹测试和统计分析表明,存在代表源区热史演化不同阶段的年龄峰值.尽管不同样品的年龄众数分布有少许差别,颗粒年龄众数的去褶积分析获得了西南天山山体新生代冷却的三个基本一致的阶段：6~8 Ma,12~19 Ma以及32~40 Ma.结合山脉隆起的地质地貌模型,无论是整体抬升或掀斜抬升,以及压扭性背景的花状挤出抬升,根据磷灰石裂变径迹封闭温度推断的抬升量与现今天山高度基本相当的事实,都可以确认西南天山山体是6~8 Ma以来形成的.天山这三期快速抬升冷却事件与青藏高原及其周边的主要隆升时期有较好的对应,证明了天山隆升和印度-欧亚板块碰撞远程效应的关系.另外,6~8 Ma的冷却事件与沉积地层学研究揭示的6 Ma左右的气候显著变化相互印证,显示了研究区域山脉隆升和气候变化之间存在的密切关系. 相似文献

江南隆起位于扬子与华夏地块的碰撞汇聚带,是研究华南大地构造演化的关键地质单元.本文采用磷灰石裂变径迹及(U-Th-Sm)/He年龄分布特征定性分析与径迹长度分布数据定量模拟相结合,主要研究了幕阜山岩体新生代的隆升与剥蚀过程,并在此基础上结合区域构造背景, 对其构造-热演化之间的关系进行了探讨.自晚白垩世持续隆升以来,幕阜山岩体经历的平均剥蚀厚度约4800 m.在不同岩体间,隆升过程及幅度存在差异,空间上具有非均匀性.热史结果显示幕阜山岩体经历了3期剥蚀, 其中两期快速剥蚀分别发生在晚白垩世-古近纪(80~50 Ma)和10 Ma以来,而这之间为一期缓慢剥蚀过程.研究区古近纪的快速剥蚀反映了中-下扬子喜山期大规模伸展断陷作用造成的肩部块体快速剥蚀事件; 约10 Ma以来的快速剥蚀是对太平洋板块向西运动的响应.幕阜山岩体自燕山晚期以来的隆升剥蚀作用具有良好的盆地沉积响应, 三期隆升剥蚀事件与研究区构造演化的动力学背景相吻合. 相似文献

BURIAL AND EXHUMATION OF THE XIGAZE FORE-ARC BASIN FROM LOW TEMPERATURE THERMOCHRONOLOGICAL EVIDENCE
The Xigaze fore-arc basin is adjacent to the Indian plate and Eurasia collision zone. Understanding the erosion history of the Xigaze fore-arc basin is significant for realizing the impact of the orogenic belt due to the collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. The different uplift patterns of the plateau will form different denudation characteristics. If all part of Tibet Plateau uplifted at the same time, the erosion rate of exterior Tibet Plateau will be much larger than the interior plateau due to the active tectonic action, relief, and outflow system at the edge. If the plateau grows from the inside to the outside or from the north to south sides, the strong erosion zone will gradually change along the tectonic active zone that expands to the outward, north, or south sides. Therefore, the different uplift patterns are likely to retain corresponding evidence on the erosion information. The Xigaze fore-arc basin is adjacent to the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone. Its burial, deformation and erosion history during or after the collision between the Indian plate and Eurasia are very important to understand the influence of plateau uplift on erosion.
In this study, we use the apatite fission track(AFT)ages and zircon and apatite(U-Th)/He(ZHe and AHe)ages, combined with the published low-temperature thermochronological age to explore the thermal evolution process of the Xigaze fore-arc basin. The samples' elevation is in the range of 3 860~4 070m. All zircon and apatite samples were dated by the external detector method, using low~U mica sheets as external detectors for fission track ages. A Zeiss Axioskop microscope(1 250×, dry)and FT Stage 4.04 system at the Fission Track Laboratory of the University of Waikato in New Zealand were used to carry out fission track counting. We crushed our samples finely, and then used standard heavy liquid and magnetic separation with additional handpicking methods to select zircon and apatite grains.
The new results show that the ZHe age of the sample M7-01 is(27.06±2.55)Ma(Table 2), and the corresponding AHe age is(9.25±0.76)Ma. The ZHe and AHe ages are significantly smaller than the stratigraphic age, indicating suffering from annealing reset(Table 3). The fission apatite fission track ages are between(74.1±7.8)Ma and(18.7±2.9)Ma, which are less than the corresponding stratigraphic age. The maximum AFT age is(74.1±7.8)Ma, and the minimum AFT age is(18.7±2.9)Ma. There is a significant north~south difference in the apatite fission track ages of the Xigaze fore-arc basin. The apatite fission track ages of the south part are 74~44Ma, the corresponding exhumation rate is 0.03~0.1km/Ma, and the denudation is less than 2km; the apatite fission track ages of the north part range from 27 to 15Ma and the ablation rate is 0.09~0.29km/Ma, but it lacks the exhumation information of the early Cenozoic. The apatite(U-Th)/He age indicates that the north~south Xigaze fore-arc basin has a consistent exhumation history after 15Ma.
The results of low temperature thermochronology show that exhumation histories are different between the northern and southern Xigaze fore-arc basin. From 70 to 60Ma, the southern Xigaze fore-arc basin has been maintained in the depth of 0~6km in the near surface, and has not been eroded or buried beyond this depth. The denudation is less than the north. The low-temperature thermochronological data of the northern part only record the exhumation history after 30Ma because of the young low-temperature thermochronological data. During early Early Miocene, the rapid erosion in the northern part of Xigaze fore-arc basin may be related to the river incision of the paleo-Yarlungzangbo River. The impact of Great Count Thrust on regional erosion is limited. The AHe data shows that the exhumation history of the north-south Xigaze fore-arc basin are consistent after 15Ma. In addition, the low-temperature thermochronological data of the northern Xigaze fore-arc basin constrains geographic range of the Kailas conglomerate during the late Oligocene~Miocene along the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone. The Kailas Basin only develops in the narrow, elongated zone between the fore-arc basin and the Gangdese orogenic belt.
The southern part of the Xigaze fore-arc basin has been uplifted from the sea level to the plateau at an altitude of 4.2km, despite the collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian continent and the late fault activity, but the plateau has been slowly denuded since the early Cenozoic. The rise did not directly contribute to the accelerated erosion in the area, which is inconsistent with the assumption that rapid erosion means that the orogenic belt begins to rise. 相似文献

There exist three mainstream opinions regarding the timing of the initial collision between the Indian and Eurasian continents,namely,65±5,45±5,and 30±5 Ma.Five criteria are proposed for determining which tectonic event was related to the initial collision between India and Asia:the rapid decrease in the rate of plate motion,the cessation of magmatic activity originating from the subduction of oceanic crust,the end of sedimentation of oceanic facies,the occurrence of intracontinental deformation,and the exchange of sediments sourced from two continents.These criteria are used to constrain the nature of these tectonic events.It is proposed that the 65±5 Ma tectonic event is consistent with some of the criteria,but the upshot of this model is that the magmatic activity originating from the Tethyan subduction since the Mesozoic restarted along the southern margin of the Asian continent in this time after a brief calm,implying that the subduction of the Neotethys slab was still taking place.The magmatic activity that occurred along the southern margin of the Asian continent had a 7-Myr break during 72-65 Ma,which in this study is interpreted as having resulted from tectonic transformation from subduction to transform faulting,indicating that the convergence between the Indian and Asian continents was once dominated by strike-slip motion.The 30±5 Ma tectonic event resulted in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau,which was related to the late stage of the convergence between these two continents,namely,a hard collision.The 45±5 Ma tectonic event is in accordance with most of the criteria,corresponding to the initial collision between these two continents. 相似文献

Abstract Apatite and zircon fission track ages from Ryoke Belt basement in northeast Kyushu show late Cretaceous, middle to late Eocene, middle Miocene and Quaternary groupings. The basement cooled through 240 ± 25°C, the closure temperature for fission tracks in zircon, mainly during the interval 74-90 Ma as a result of uplift and denudation, the pattern being uniform across northeast Kyushu. In combination with published K-Ar ages and the Turonian-Santonian age of sedimentation in the Onogawa Basin, active suturing along the Median Tectonic Line from 100-80 Ma, at least, is inferred. Ryoke Belt rocks along the northern margin of Hohi volcanic zone (HVZ) cooled rapidly through ∼100°C to less than 50°C during the middle Eocene to Oligocene, associated with 2.5-3.5 km of denudation. The timing of this cooling follows peak heating in the Eocene-Oligocene part (Murotohanto subbelt) of the Shimanto Belt in Muroto Peninsula (Shikoku) inferred previously, and coincides with the 43 Ma change in convergence direction of the Pacific-Eurasian plate and the demise of the Kula-Pacific spreading centre. Ryoke Belt rocks along the southern margin of HVZ have weighted mean apatite fission track ages of 15.3 ± 3.1 Ma. These reset ages are attributed to an increase in geothermal gradient in the middle Miocene combined with rapid denudation and uplift of at least 1.4 km. These ages indicate that heating of the overriding plate associated with the middle Miocene start of subduction of hot Shikoku Basin lithosphere extended into the Ryoke Belt in northeast Kyushu. Pleistocene apatite fission track ages from Ryoke Belt granites at depth in the centre of HVZ are due to modern annealing in a geothermal environment. 相似文献

Apatite fission track constraints on the Neogene tectono-thermal history of Nimu area, southern Gangdese terrane, Tibet Plateau 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Apatite fission track dating of five samples from Cenozoic volcanic strata in the Nimu District in the southern Gangdese Terrane exhibits single population grain ages with a single mean age and associated central ages ranging from 6.8 ± 0.6 Ma to 9.7 ± 1.2 Ma. Mean track lengths are between 12.9 ± 1.7 µm and 14.2 ± 2.3 µm with a single peak characteristic of a single thermal event. The newly documented ages coincide well with the age of high sedimentation rates in the North Tibet Basin that resulted from a 9–5 Ma compressional event. Track length modeling allows three stages to be identified in the sample cooling. The first stage (12–8 Ma) records a period of relative stability with little, if any, cooling at temperatures of 120–110°C suggesting this region had low relief. The second stage (8–2 Ma) reflects rapid cooling with temperatures decreasing from ∼110°C to surface temperatures of ∼15°C. This stage can be related to far-field effects of the Himalayan collision, which probably generated the surface uplift and relief that defines the present-day Gangdese Mountains. The mean uplift rate of this period is estimated to be 1.41–0.95 mm/y with total uplift reaching ∼5900 m. The final stage is related to surface evolution since the Pliocene. 相似文献
