运用碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年方法,结合碎屑锆石矿物特征、阴极发光图像和年龄谱分布特征,对鄂尔多斯盆地西南缘麟游地区二叠系上石盒子砂岩进行了碎屑物源分析。结果表明:碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄分布主要包含3组峰值年龄:1864 Ma、2500 Ma和441 Ma,另外具有一颗3.3 Ga古老的碎屑锆石年龄及一组次级年轻年龄组299~363 Ma。1864 Ma和2500 Ma两组峰值的锆石颗粒约占总体的82.2%,表明二叠纪末上石盒子期华北克拉通为鄂尔多斯盆地西南缘提供主要物源,3.3 Ga年龄的存在也指示其来源于华北克拉通;441 Ma峰值的锆石颗粒约占总数的10.4%,指示其可能来自秦岭-祁连造山带,由于缺少800~1000 Ma的新元古代年龄,表明秦-祁造山带在上石盒子期抬升及剥蚀程度较低;299~363 Ma年龄组指示其可能来源于华北克拉通北缘的兴-蒙造山带岩浆弧。  相似文献

为了探讨华北板块北缘晚古生代的隆升历史和古亚洲洋的闭合过程,利用碎屑岩的锆石U-Pb年代学、Hf同位素和锆石微量元素组成对北京周口店太平山南坡晚石炭世-早二叠世地层进行物源分析,并判定源区的大地构造背景.5件样品的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄主要分布在3个时代:显生宙（285~425 Ma）、古元古代（1 700~2 450 Ma）和新太古代（2 500~2 747 Ma）.前寒武纪的锆石年龄主要集中在2.5 Ga和1.8 Ga,与华北克拉通的前寒武纪基底岩石相似.显生宙的锆石年龄主要集中在308~297 Ma,最年轻的峰值年龄在299~291 Ma,在误差范围内与地层沉积年龄相似,因此这些最年轻的碎屑锆石属于早二叠世同沉积锆石.29颗同沉积锆石的Hf同位素结果显示,原始176Hf/177Hf比值介于0.282 021~0.282 318,εHf（t）值介于-20.1~-9.6.显生宙锆石的年龄谱特征以及Hf同位素组成与内蒙古隆起同期的岩浆锆石特征十分相似,因此显生宙碎屑锆石可能来源于内蒙古隆起,并伴随有少量来自北侧兴蒙造山带南部的早古生代岛弧碎屑的输入.二叠纪同沉积锆石的微量元素特征表明锆石结晶的岩浆源区具有大陆岛弧的构造属性.上述数据表明:（1）华北板块北缘在晚石炭世-早二叠世为活动大陆边缘;（2）晚古生代古亚洲洋向华北北缘的持续俯冲消减导致了内蒙古隆起的快速隆升;（3）古亚洲洋闭合的时间应晚于早二叠世.   相似文献

近年来,鲁西地区拉伸系土门群中报道了大量与Rodinia大陆汇聚时间相一致的碎屑锆石,而与Rodinia大陆裂解相关的碎屑锆石非常少见。为此本文对鲁西地区寒武系底部李官组进行了LA-ICP-MS碎屑锆石U-Pb同位素测年。测试结果显示李官组碎屑锆石以古元古代碎屑锆石为主体,新元古代碎屑锆石次之,含三个峰值,分别为～756 Ma、～1872 Ma、～2532 Ma。依据地层接触关系以及化石特征,李官组被限定为都匀阶(～514—509 Ma)早期或稍早时期沉积,并可与辽南地区大林子组和淮北地区猴家山组下部进行对比,均为华北克拉通在寒武纪海侵初期最早沉积的一套碎屑岩地层。除～756Ma年龄峰值外,李官组碎屑锆石的年龄均可在华北克拉通找到对应的岩浆事件。依据李官组沉积时间、多数碎屑锆石对应的岩浆事件以及最新的古地理模型,华北克拉通很可能是李官组碎屑锆石的源区。～756 Ma碎屑锆石与Rodinia大陆裂解的时间一致,被解释为与裂解相关的岩浆活动在鲁西地区的记录。  相似文献

本文报道了胶莱盆地莱阳群最底部瓦屋夼组长石石英砂岩中碎屑锆石的LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学和原位Hf同位素分析结果,进而约束了瓦屋夼组砂岩的沉积时代和物源及其构造意义。碎屑锆石多数呈自形–半自形晶,发育岩浆生长环带,暗示它们为岩浆成因;少数晚三叠世锆石呈均匀无结构的阴极发光特点,缺乏岩浆环带,暗示它们为变质锆石。82个谐和年龄的峰值分别为129 Ma、158 Ma、224 Ma、253 Ma、461 Ma、724 Ma、1851 Ma和2456 Ma。上述定年结果结合原位Hf同位素分析表明:(1)瓦屋夼组的沉积时代为早白垩世(129~106 Ma);(2)1851 Ma、2456 Ma年龄的锆石主要来源于华北克拉通前寒武纪基底岩石;新元古代(729~721 Ma)岩浆锆石和晚三叠世(226~216 Ma)变质锆石来源于苏鲁造山带;晚古生代锆石记录了华北克拉通北缘同时代的岩浆事件;晚三叠世(231~223 Ma)岩浆锆石和158~129 Ma锆石则与胶北、胶东同时期的岩浆事件相对应;(3)胶莱盆地与合肥盆地具有不同的沉积时代和物源属性;(4)瓦屋夼组中苏鲁造山带物源的存在,暗示苏鲁高压–超高压变质岩石至少在早白垩世时期已经出露地表。  相似文献

通过鄂尔多斯盆地东部延河剖面上三叠统延长组中下部地层中碎屑锆石U-Pb同位素年龄测定显示：锆石年龄以2 271-2 567Ma和1 599-1 937 Ma最为突出,还有少量的261-285 Ma年轻岩浆锆石。研究表明,分布在2 271-2 567 Ma、以2 500 Ma为峰值的碎屑锆石年龄是华北克拉通晚太古代与地幔添加有关的玄武质岩浆活动的证据。1 599-1 937 Ma、以1 800 Ma为峰值的年龄为华北克拉通早元古代哥伦比亚超大陆陆-陆碰撞构造热事件以及中元古代构造运动的证据。出现的5颗261-285 Ma的岩浆锆石,主要为华力西期岩浆侵入活动的证据。笔者从碎屑锆石年龄的角度确定了延河剖面碎屑沉积物来自以约2 500 Ma为主的华北克拉通物源区,即来源于阴山地区的晚太古代、早元古代的深变质闪长岩、片麻岩和变粒岩。  相似文献

利用LA-MC-ICP-MS分析技术,对兴蒙造山带南缘下二叠统三面井组和中二叠统额里图组砂岩中的碎屑锆石进行了U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素研究。结果显示,三面井组砂岩记录了3组碎屑锆石年龄:280~369Ma(4颗)、1800~2271Ma(43颗,峰值1877Ma)和2507~2711Ma(9颗)。额里图组砂岩碎屑锆石年龄集中分布在271~371Ma(9颗)、1258~1395Ma(18颗,峰值1326Ma)和1695~2454Ma(34颗,峰值1864Ma)3个年龄区间。对比研究发现,样品中的元古宙和太古宙碎屑锆石是华北克拉通古老基底的反映;晚古生代锆石具有较低的ε_(Hf)(t)值(-5.3~-23.7)和较老的Hf模式年龄(1124~3039Ma),与华北克拉通北缘晚古生代岩浆岩具有一致性,而明显区别于兴蒙造山带内岩浆岩Hf同位素特征,说明前者是其物源供给区。结合区域资料认为,华北克拉通北缘在早―中二叠世期间不存在类似安第斯型的俯冲大陆边缘,三面井组和额里图组砂岩是在伸展背景下沉积形成的。  相似文献

华北板块北缘在晚中生代受到古太平洋板块西向俯冲作用的影响,发育强烈的构造变形及大规模的岩浆活动.研究区柳河盆地地处华北板块北缘,对其开展研究能够为约束华北板块北缘晚中生代构造演化阶段提供沉积方面的证据.依据对盆地早白垩世鹰嘴砬子组样品碎屑组分、岩性序列、沉积相演化特征的研究,结合碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学判断,盆地样品矿物组成具有石英含量较低,岩屑和长石含量较高的特点,显示沉积物物源主要来自岩浆弧物源区.两组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄组成相似,以晚中生代为主,古元古代为辅.L1-B178样品（岩心）碎屑锆石存在约127Ma的主峰和约2553Ma的次峰;P303-B3样品（剖面）存在约126Ma的主峰和约2545Ma的次峰,中生代沉积物物源可能来自盆地东北侧丰富的岩浆岩.早白垩世鹰嘴砬子组最年轻碎屑锆石颗粒的U-Pb年龄限定岩层的最大沉积年龄为（125±4）Ma,介于早白垩世巴雷姆阶与阿普特阶,与层内流纹岩样品（124.3±0.7）Ma的锆石加权平均年龄吻合.通过对柳河盆地样品矿物组成特点、沉积相演化和碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学特征综合判断,盆地在（125±4）Ma已接收到古太平板块俯冲作用带来的物源...  相似文献

盆地基底的研究对了解成盆历史及恢复区域古大地构背景具有重要意义.本文从松辽盆地北部早白垩世营城组火山岩的显生宙基底捕获锆石入手.对其进行SHRIMP U-Pb定年,得到7组显生宙年龄:482～481Ma、381～350Ma、297～290Ma、252～237Ma、225～219Ma、200～189Ma、183-158Ma.研究认为松辽盆地北部显生宙基底至少经历了晚泥盆世、早二叠世早期、三叠纪和早-中侏罗世等多次大规模的岩浆热事件,其中以中生代三叠纪和侏罗纪火山活动最为频繁,中生代火成岩是松辽盆地显生宙基底花岗岩的主体.这一系列显生宙的岩浆活动可能与晚古生代额尔古纳-兴安、松嫩-张广才岭、佳木斯.兴凯等地块相互间碰撞拼合后的岩石圈伸展作用、华北板块和西伯利亚板块在二叠纪末期碰撞拼合(古亚洲洋闭合造山)后的岩石圈伸展作用、侏罗纪佳木斯地块西缘洋壳俯冲并与松嫩地块拼合作用、东北亚古亚洲洋构造域向太平洋构造域转换等古大地构造运动有关.482～481Ma为变质成因锆石的年龄,代表了早奥陶世(Tremadocian阶)松辽盆地基底的变质增生作用,该变质过程可能与盆地西北部额尔古纳地块与兴安地块的拼合作用.  相似文献

Relatively successive sequences of Late Mesozoic are preserved and exposed in Luxi Uplift (LU), eastern North China block (NCB), which is an important region to study the late Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the eastern NCB. In this study, in situ U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic analyses on detrital zircons from the sandstones of Jurassic Fangzi and Santai Formations in LU combining the analysis of sandstone detrital modes were performed, with an aim to trace the Jurassic sediment provenances and the tectonic–paleogeographic configuration of eastern NCB. Three sandstone samples (one from Fangzi Formation and two from Santai Formation) have very similar U–Pb age spectrums which can be divided into three major groups: Phanerozoic (I), Paleoproterozoic (II), and Neoarchean (III). Detrital zircons of Group II and Group III broadly match the age spectra of the basement of NCC which exposed extensively in the northern part. No middle Neoproterozoic magmatic zircons or Triassic metamorphic zircons were found in this study, ruling out the clastic provenance transported from the Sulu orogen to LU. Dominant zircon populations of Group Iare Late Paleozoic (250–393 Ma) recording the corresponding magmatic activities which are not found both in LU and its peripheral tectonic terranes, but can be well compared with that of the northern NCB (NNCB) and the Xing-Meng Orogenic Belt (XMOB). Furthermore, Hf isotope compositions of the Phanerozoic detrital zircons can be distinctly divided into two clusters with εHf(t) values ranging from −1.0 to +12.7 and −21.9 to −3.0, respectively resemble those from the XMOB and NCB (mainly from NNCB). Sandstone detrital modes analysis indicates the provenance came from the areas that have been eroded deeply to expose the basement rocks which accords with the tectonic setting of the NNCB. This research proposes that an evident mountain or provenance region once increasingly developed along NNCB during Early to Late Jurassic (182–155 Ma) due to the continuous collision of the Siberia and North China–Mongolian plates, easily shed mass clastic materials southward into the inner NCB and became the major provenance of Jurassic sediments in LU.  相似文献

This paper reports LA–ICP–MS U–Pb dates and in situ Hf isotope analyses of detrital zircons from the Mesozoic basins in western Shandong, China, with the aim to constrain the depositional ages and provenances of the Mesozoic strata as well as the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the eastern North China Block (NCB). The Mesozoic strata in western Shandong, from bottom to top, include the Fenghuangshan, Fangzi, Santai and Wennan formations. Most of the analyzed zircon grains exhibit oscillatory growth zoning and have relatively high Th/U ratios (generally 0.2–3.4), suggesting a magmatic origin. Zircons from the Fenghuangshan Formation in the Zhoucun Basin yield six main age populations (2489, 1854, 331, 305, 282, and 247 Ma). Zircons from the Fangzi Formation in the Zhoucun and Mengyin basins yield eight main age populations (2494, 1844, 927, 465, 323, 273, 223, and 159 Ma) and ten main age populations (2498, 1847, 932, 808, 540, 431, 315, 282, 227, and 175 Ma), respectively, whereas zircons from the Santai Formation in the Zhoucun and Mengyin basins yield nine main age populations (2519, 1845, 433, 325, 271, 237, 192, 161, and 146 Ma) and six main age populations (2464, 1845, 853, 277, 191, and 150 Ma), respectively. Five main age populations (2558, 1330, 609, 181, and 136 Ma) are detected for zircons from the Wennan Formation in the Pingyi Basin. Based on the youngest age, together with the contact relationships among formations, we propose that the Fenghuangshan Formation formed in the Early–Middle Triassic, the Fangzi Formation in the Middle–Late Jurassic, the Santai Formation after the Late Jurassic, and the Wennan Formation after the Early Cretaceous. These results, together with previously published data, indicate that: (1) the sediments of the Fenghuangshan Formation were sourced from the Precambrian basement and from late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic igneous rocks in the northern part of the NCB; (2) the sediments of the Fangzi and Santai formations were sourced from the Precambrian basement, late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic igneous rocks in the northern part of the NCB, and the Sulu terrane, as well as from Middle–Late Jurassic igneous rocks in the southeastern part of the NCB; and (3) the Wennan Formation was sourced from the Tongshi intrusive complex, the Sulu terrane, and minor Precambrian basement and Early Cretaceous igneous rocks. The evolution of detrital provenance indicates that in the Early–Middle Triassic, the northern part of the NCB was higher than its interior; during the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic, the eastern NCB was uplifted, resulting in a period of non-deposition; and an important transition from a compressional to an extensional tectonic regime occurred during the Middle–Late Jurassic. The presence of Neoproterozoic and Triassic detrital zircons in the Fangzi Formation sourced from the Sulu terrane suggests that large-scale sinistral strike-slip movement along the Tan-Lu Fault Zone did not occur after the Middle Jurassic (ca. 175 Ma).  相似文献

对华北东南缘荆山花岗岩进行了锆石U-Pb定年、微量元素和Hf同位素分析,全岩主微量元素和Sr-Nd同位素分析.LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,荆山花岗岩形成于晚侏罗世(160.9±0.8~161.6±1.5 Ma).残留锆石的U-Pb年龄主要为三叠纪和新元古代,分别与大别-苏鲁造山带超高压变火成岩的变质年龄和原岩年龄一致.这些花岗岩为钙碱性-高钾钙碱性,具有弧型的微量元素分布特征和富集的Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成,即高的全岩(87Sr/86Sr)i比值(0.708 0~0.709 1),低的εNd(t)值(-15.6~-13.5)和锆石εHf(t)值(-23.1~-9.5),对应的两阶段Nd-Hf模式年龄主要为古元古代.这些锆石U-Pb同位素年代学和地球化学特征与大别-苏鲁造山带超高压变火成岩一致,表明它们之间存在成因联系.特别地,残留锆石新元古代和三叠纪U-Pb年龄是俯冲华南陆壳的标志性特征.因此,荆山花岗岩是俯冲华南陆壳部分熔融的产物,华南陆壳是三叠纪大陆碰撞过程中进入华北地壳之中的.这些花岗岩具有低的Rb含量、高的Sr和Ba含量,低的Rb/Sr比值以及低的全岩锆饱和温度和锆石Ti温度(~700℃),表明它们源于俯冲华南陆壳低温加水部分熔融,可能与侏罗纪古太平洋板块俯冲于中国东部之下有关.   相似文献

The evolution of the provenance areas for Late Neoproterozoic, Cambrian and Early Ordovician sedimentary and meta-sedimentary rocks of north central and northwest Argentina is discussed using 123 maximum ages of detrital zircons from 42 samples from this and previously published studies. Most detrital zircon ages fall into two groups: 1,200–900 Ma and 670–545 Ma. These ages are essentially identical for the non- to very low grade metamorphic late Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Puncoviscana Formation and the low to high grade metamorphic rocks of Eastern Sierras Pampeanas. Hence, both units are related to similar provenance areas at the same time of sedimentation. The time span from zircon crystallization in the Earth’s crust to exhumation and erosion may be very long. This is important when determining maximum ages of sedimentary rocks. Variation of zircon maxima may also be influenced by concurrent sedimentary cover of proposed provenance areas. For the late Mesoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic zircon age group, an active mountain range of the southwest Brazilian Sunsás orogen is the most probable provenance area. The younger, late Neoproterozoic zircons are related to the continuously developing mountains of the Brasiliano orogen of southwest and south central Brazil. Young zircons, up to 514 Ma, from fossil-bearing Puncoviscana and Suncho Formation outcrops are related to late Early Cambrian volcanism contemporaneous with sedimentation. This situation continues through the Late Cambrian to the Early Ordovician, but the Sunsás orogen provenance diminishes as possible Río de la Plata craton origins become important.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

The Qinling orogen is a key area for understanding the processes of subduction and collision between the South China Block (SCB) and North China Block (NCB). The Wuguan Complex, distributed along the southern margin of the Shangdan suture zone, can provide important constraints on the age of collision between NCB and SCB and the tectonic evolution of the Qinling orogen in Late Paleozoic. Detrital zircons from meta-sedimentary rocks of the Wuguan Complex in the Danfeng-Shangnan area have an age spectrum with two main peaks at ~448 Ma and ~819 Ma, and two subordinate peaks at ~938 and ~1440 Ma, respectively, and are interpreted to have been derived from the North Qinling terrane (NQT). The petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the meta-sedimentary rocks indicate that they were deposited in a fore-arc basin along the southern margin of the NQT. The youngest detrital zircons yield a weighted mean age of 378 ± 3 Ma, indicating that the fore-arc deposition was continuing at least to this time, which implies that the Paleo-Qinling Ocean between the NCB and SCB was not finally closed until at least the late Devonian. In combination with regional data, we propose that sedimentary rocks of the Wuguan Complex might once have been a sequence of late Ordovician to late Devonian strata with intercalated mafic rocks, which has been dismembered by the later tectonic activity. It was metamorphosed during northward subduction of the Paleo-Qinling Ocean at ca. 320 Ma, and slowly cooled through ca. 350°C at ca. 247 Ma (muscovite 40Ar/39Ar age). It has recorded the detailed processes of subduction and collision between the NCB and SCB.  相似文献

针对准噶尔盆地南缘(天山北麓)中生界及新生界4个砂岩样品的碎屑锆石,本文开展了LA-ICP-MS分析,解析了其U-Pb年代学、沉积物源及其构造属性等信息,探索了天山及其邻近盆地的表壳演化过程及动力学机制。研究显示,准噶尔盆地南缘上三叠统-中侏罗统碎屑锆石年龄构成总体宽泛复杂,在490～160 Ma之间出现多个谱峰:除310～260 Ma主峰外,尚有180～160 Ma、240～210 Ma、370～340 Ma、450～390 Ma和490～460 Ma等5个次峰; 上侏罗统-下白垩统碎屑锆石年龄构成相对简单,但仍然保留400～250 Ma较宽范围内的2～3个谱峰:除310～260 Ma主峰外,尚有340～315 Ma等次峰; 上白垩统-古近统,主物源碎屑锆石年龄构成趋向单一,峰值区间集中于310～260 Ma。研究说明天山与准噶尔盆地之间的构造分异活动可以分为4个阶段:中晚三叠世-中侏罗世平稳或渐弱,向准噶尔盆地输运碎屑物的天山水系较宽,可达南天山北缘; 晚侏罗世-早白垩世欧亚板块与拉萨块体碰撞的远程效应对天山古生代构造格局造成了强烈的叠加改造,天山区域整体抬升剥露加剧,并伴随主分水岭相对北移; 晚白垩世-古近纪北天山继续隆升(尽管相对变弱),并直接构成向准噶尔盆地(南缘)输运碎屑物的主水系,新近纪由于欧亚板块与印度板块碰撞引发的天山陆内强烈隆升并未明显改变这一物源输运系统。  相似文献

蓬莱群是胶北地区最主要的晚前寒武纪沉积盖层,对研究华北克拉通东南缘晚前寒武纪演化有重要意义.为确认蓬莱群沉积时代与物源特征,本次研究选取栖霞地区蓬莱群辅子夼组中上部的长石石英岩为研究对象,对锆石CL图像、U-Pb年龄以及稀土元素组成开展研究,发现碎屑锆石主要为岩浆锆石,年龄峰值主要集中在1 100、1 200 Ma以及1 600 Ma,缺乏年龄大于1.8 Ga的锆石;其中,最年轻碎屑锆石年龄为1 094±39 Ma,结合前人资料,蓬莱群辅子夼组沉积时代被限定在新元古代初期;不同地区的蓬莱群在辅子夼组中部以上物源区是统一的,在辅子夼组下部沉积时期物源发生变化.在区域上,蓬莱群物源特点与朝鲜祥原超群、以及我国辽东细河群、鲁南土门群、徐淮地区淮南群、豫西地区栾川群等华北东缘、南缘新元古代沉积盆地物源相似,物源主要来自华北克拉通以外的古陆.结合古地磁、中—新元古代岩墙分布等资料,推测发育格林威尔期造山带的克拉通如Laurentia-Siberia-Baltica或Sao Fransico-Congo克拉通与华北克拉通南缘拼合,提供物源.   相似文献

A study of detrital zircon age populations in Namurian–Westphalian (Carboniferous) sandstones in the southern Central Pennine Basin of the UK has revealed considerable complexity in their provenance history. The Pendleian–Marsdenian Morridge Formation, which is known to have been derived from the Wales‐Brabant Massif to the south on the basis of palaeocurrent and petrographic information, is dominated by zircons ultimately derived from the Caledonian belt to the north. These zircons were recycled from sandstones of northern origin that had been previously deposited over the massif during Middle to Late Devonian times. The Morridge Formation also includes Late Neoproterozoic zircons of local Wales‐Brabant Massif origin. The south lobe of the Yeadonian Rough Rock has been previously interpreted as having a complex provenance including sediment of northern origin interbedded with sediment ascribed to a Wales‐Brabant Massif source. However, the zircon spectrum lacks a Late Neoproterozoic component that would have been diagnostic of input from the Wales‐Brabant Massif, and the provenance history of the Rough Rock south lobe therefore remains enigmatic. The Langsettian Ludgbridge Conglomerate is dominated by Late Neoproterozoic zircons of Wales‐Brabant Massif origin, but even in this evidently proximal deposit, the provenance is complex since the main zircon group (ca. 640 Ma) cannot be matched with known local Neoproterozoic basement sources. The data either indicate the presence of hitherto‐unknown magmatic rocks of this age adjacent to the South Staffordshire coalfield or indicate that the zircons were recycled from sediment with a more distal origin. Finally, the Duckmantian Top Hard Rock contains zircons that can be reconciled with a source in the Irish Caledonides, consistent with the palaeocurrent evidence, supplemented by zircons derived from the Wales‐Brabant Massif, possibly including the Monian Composite Terrane of Anglesey. The study reinforces the important message that failure to recognize the presence of recycled zircon could lead to erroneous reconstructions of sediment provenance and transport history.

Analysing the provenance changes of synorogenic sediments in the Turpan‐Hami basin by detrital zircon geochronology is an efficient tool to examine the uplift and erosion history of the easternmost Tian Shan. We present detrital zircon U‐Pb analysis from nine samples that were collected within marginal lacustrine Middle‐Late Jurassic and aeolian‐fluvial Early Cretaceous strata in the basin. Middle‐Early Jurassic (159–172 Ma) zircons deriving from the southern Junggar dominated the Middle Jurassic sample from the western Turpan‐Hami basin, whereas Permian‐Carboniferous (270–330 Ma) zircons from the Bogda mountains were dominant in the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous samples. Devonian‐Silurian (400–420 Ma) and Triassic (235–259 Ma) zircons from the Jueluotage and Harlik mountains constituted the subordinate age groups in the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous samples from the eastern basin respectively. These provenance transitions provide evidence for uplift of the Bogda mountains in the Late Jurassic and the Harlik mountains since the Early Cretaceous.  相似文献
