Zircon and apatite fission track (FT) thermochronology was applied to investigate the history of cooling and denudation of the Southern Andes between 41° and 42°15′S in relation to the late Cenozoic activity of the Liquiñe-Ofqui fault zone (LOFZ) and the northward migration of the Chile Triple Junction (CTJ). Fifty-six zircon and 51 apatite FT ages, plus 37 apatite confined track-length distributions were obtained mainly from plutonic rocks of the North Patagonian Batholith (NPB) in the main Andean Cordillera. Apatite FT ages and track lengths indicate a stage of rapid cooling at ∼5--3 Ma along both sides of the LOFZ, whereas older Miocene ages with monotonous cooling histories were obtained further away from the fault. Zircon FT ages range from Cretaceous to Pliocene, with marked differences observed along and across the LOFZ. Three different types of temperature-time histories characterise the post-magmatic cooling of the NPB in the region: deep intrusions with moderate and steady cooling rates, intrusions in the upper crust with very slow cooling rates following a stage of initial rapid cooling, and rapidly cooled and exhumed shallow intrusions, the latter with younger ages towards the fault zone. The most prominent denudation episode along the LOFZ is late Miocene to Pliocene, coeval with plate tectonic reconstructions for the arrival and subduction of the Chile Rise beneath the Taitao Peninsula.  相似文献

Tectono-thermal evolution of the India-Asia collision zone based on<Superscript>40</Superscript>Ar-<Superscript>39</Superscript>Ar thermochronology in Ladakh,India

New⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar thermochronological results from the Ladakh region in the India-Asia collision zone provide a tectono-thermal evolutionary scenario. The characteristic granodiorite of the Ladakh batholith near Leh yielded a plateau age of 46.3 ± 0.6 Ma (2σ). Biotite from the same rock yielded a plateau age of 44.6 ± 0.3 Ma (2σ). The youngest phase of the Ladakh batholith, the leucogranite near Himya, yielded a cooling pattern with a plateau-like age of ∼ 36 Ma. The plateau age of muscovite from the same rock is 29.8 ±0.2 Ma (2σ). These ages indicate post-collision tectono-thermal activity, which may have been responsible for partial melting within the Ladakh batholith. Two basalt samples from Sumdo Nala have also recorded the post-collision tectono-thermal event, which lasted at least for 8 MY in the suture zone since the collision, whereas in the western part of the Indus Suture, pillow lava of Chiktan showed no effect of this event and yielded an age of emplacement of 128.2 ±2.6 Ma (2σ). The available data indicate that post-collision deformation led to the crustal thickening causing an increase in temperature, which may have caused partial melting at the base of the thickened crust. The high thermal regime propagated away from the suture with time.  相似文献   

Thermal history of Canadian Williston basin from apatite fission-track thermochronology—implications for petroleum systems and geodynamic history     

K. G. Osadetz  B. P. Kohn  S. Feinstein  P. B. O'Sullivan   《Tectonophysics》2002,349(1-4)

Apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology has been applied to a composite depth profile of Precambrian basement rocks underlying the Phanerozoic Canadian Williston Basin. Thermal histories derived from the AFT data record cycles of heating and cooling which follow the pattern of regional burial history, but which also indicate major temporal and geographic variations in the timing and degree of maximum Phanerozoic temperatures. These variations in the thermal history were not previously recognised from organic maturity indicators and subsidence models. Specifically, our study suggests a late Paleozoic heat flow anomaly with a geographic extent closer to that of Middle Devonian–Carboniferous Kaskaskia subsidence patterns than to that of the Williston Basin proper. This thermal anomaly has both economic and geodynamic significance. The recognition that potential Upper Cambrian–Lower Ordovician petroleum source rocks became fully mature during the late Paleozoic distinguishes that petroleum system from others that entered the main hydrocarbon generation stage in latest Cretaceous and Paleogene time. The late Paleozoic heat flow anomaly suggested from the AFT data implies a geodynamic coupling between inelastic Kaskaskia subsidence and previously inferred late Paleozoic lithospheric weakening. While the temporally varying heat flow model is preferred, the lack of independent constraints on the maximum thickness of upper Paleozoic strata precludes the outright rejection of the previous constant heat flow model. The AFT data provide important new constraints on the evolution of the epicratonic Williston Basin and its geodynamic models.  相似文献   

Time-scales of assembly and thermal history of a composite felsic pluton: constraints from the Emerald Lake area, northern Canadian Cordillera, Yukon   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Knowledge of the time-scales of emplacement and thermal history during assembly of composite felsic plutons in the shallow crust are critical to deciphering the processes of crustal growth and magma chamber development. Detailed petrological and chemical study of the mid-Cretaceous, composite Emerald Lake pluton, from the northern Canadian Cordillera, Yukon Territory, coupled with U–Pb and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronology, indicates that this pluton was intruded as a series of magmatic pulses. Intrusion of these pulses produced a strong petrological zonation from augite syenite, hornblende quartz syenite and monzonite, to biotite granite. Our data further indicate that multiple phases were emplaced and cooled to below the mineral closure temperatures over a time-scale on the order of the resolution of the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar technique (1 Myr), and that emplacement occurred at 94.3 Ma. Simple thermal modelling and heat conduction calculations were used to further constrain the temporal relationships within the intrusion. These calculations are consistent with the geochronology and show that emplacement and cooling were complete in less than 100 kyr and probably 70±5 kyr. These results demonstrate that production, transport and emplacement of the different phases of the Emerald Lake pluton occurred essentially simultaneously, and that these processes must also have been closely related in time and space. By analogy, these results provide insights into the assembly and petrogenesis of other complex intrusions and ultimately lead to an understanding of the processes involved in crustal development.  相似文献   

A REVIEW OF MOUNTAIN-BASIN COUPLING OF JIANGHAN AND DONGTING BASINS WITH THEIR SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS     

LIN Xu  ZENG Jing 《地震地质》2019,41(2):499-520

Sedimentary basin and orogenic belt are two important components of continental structure with internal genetic links. The study of the basin-mountain coupling can reconstruct and restore the coupling relationships between the deep lithosphere process, near-surface structure and climate change over time. The Jianghan-Dongting Basin locates in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, presenting a clear basin and mountain boundary with the Qinling-Dabie Shan to the north, the Mufu Shan to the southeast, the Wuling Shan to the southwest, and the E'xi Mountain to the west, respectively. The Meso-Cenozoic Jianghan-Dongting Basin was affected by the subduction and collision of the Pacific plate and the Indian Ocean plate on the Eurasian continent, resulting in multiple tectonic evolution processes. There are some big rivers pouring into the Jianghan-Dongting Basin, such as the Yangtze River, Hanjiang River, Ba River, Xiangjiang River, and Yuanjiang River, etc. to serve as the material transport belts linking between the orogenic belt denudation and basin deposition. Therefore, the Jianghan-Dongting Basin has become a multi-source sedimentary basin, which makes it a natural laboratory to explore the geological processes from source to sink. Because the low-temperature thermochronology(e.g. fission-track and(U-Th)/He)can record the recent uplift time of mountains, they are widely used on the bedrock samples and the detrital synorogenic sediments in basins to constrain the surface uplift time of the orogenic belt. Hence, in the first parts of the paper we summarize and sort out the research results of basin-mountain coupling process in the Jianghan-Dongting Basin, evaluate the research results, identify the existing problems, and propose new research directions. After that, we introduce the applications of low-temperature thermochronology on the bedrock within the orogenic belt, basin and river sediments, combined with the actual situation of Jianghan-Dongting Basin, and put forward a new research breakthrough point. It is found that the Jianghan-Dongting Basin is very suitable for the study of low-temperature thermalchronology on detrital minerals. However, it should combine the low-temperature thermochronology results of both orogenic belt and river sediments with the provenance analysis on the same target minerals, building the connection between the exhumation and provenance information on the orogenic belt, thus providing the detailed evolution of mountain-basin coupling process.  相似文献   

A REVIEW OF LOW-TEMPERATURE THERMOCHRONOLOGY ON BEDROCK AND DETRITUS FROM RIVERS AROUND THE TIBETAN PLATEAU          下载免费PDF全文

The large river systems are the major transfer of continental masses to the ocean and basin, playing significant roles in global geochemical cycles. The Tibetan plateau is the birthplace of many huge rivers flowing through eastern and southern Asia, in which the fluvial deposits kept not only closely relate to the geological evolution information from the source areas, but also record the river itself building process. The low-temperature thermochronology method of detrital minerals (zircon and apatite, etc.) can be used to constrain the river's source areas, establishing its source-sink system. It can also combine regional tectonic deformation analysis to determine the potential source region of the river and the formation time of the plateau geomorphology, which is a focused issue in recent years. In this study, we have summarized the research results from the large rivers in the Tibetan plateau in recent years, suggesting that the low-temperature thermochronology analysis of the detrital minerals should be focused on the river's key locations in the upstream, midstream and downstream, respectively, combining the small tributaries analysis which can give a more detailed thermal evolution history in the whole drainage basin. On the conditions of the bedrock, it is shown that in the same river's different place we should use the same low-temperature thermochronology, while in different river's places we should take several low-temperature thermochronology methods (apatite and zircon, etc.)at a same position, so we get a complete time series related to the river incision. Combining the valley bedrock and detrital river minerals with the low-temperature thermalchronology on the Tibetan plateau, together with the chronology, structure analysis and other sedimentary studies, we can obtain detailed structures and river's evolution processes.  相似文献   

Post‐orogenic thermal history and exhumation of the northern Appalachian Basin: Low‐temperature thermochronologic constraints     

Chilisa M. Shorten  Paul G. Fitzgerald 《Basin Research》2019,31(6):1017-1039

Apatite fission‐track (AFT) thermochronology and (U‐Th)/He (AHe) dating, combined with paleothermometers and independent geologic constraints, are used to model the thermal history of Devonian Catskill delta wedge strata. The timing and rates of cooling determines the likely post‐orogenic exhumation history of the northern Appalachian Foreland Basin (NAB) in New York and Pennsylvania. AFT ages generally young from west to east, decreasing from ~185 to 120 Ma. AHe single‐grain ages range from ~188 to 116 Ma. Models show that this part of the Appalachian foreland basin experienced a non‐uniform, multi‐stage cooling history. Cooling rates vary over time, ~1–2 °C/Myr in the Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, ~0.15–0.25 °C/Myr from the Early Cretaceous to Late Cenozoic, and ~1–2 °C/Myr beginning in the Miocene. Our results from the Mesozoic are broadly consistent with earlier studies, but with the integration of multiple thermochronometers and multi‐kinetic annealing algorithms in newer inverse thermal modeling programs, we constrain a Late Cenozoic increase in cooling which had been previously enigmatic in eastern U.S. low‐temperature thermochronology datasets. Multi‐stage cooling and exhumation of the NAB is driven by post‐orogenic basin inversion and catchment drainage reorganization, in response to changes in base level due to rifting, plus isostatic and dynamic topographic processes modified by flexure over the long (~200 Myr) post‐orogenic period. This study compliments other regional exhumation data‐sets, while constraining the timing of post‐orogenic cooling and exhumation in the NAB and contributing important insights on the post‐orogenic development and inversion of foreland basins along passive margins.  相似文献

天水盆地位于青藏高原东北缘六盘山与西秦岭二重要构造带交汇处,该盆地充填较完整晚新生代沉积序列记录着该区构造变形历史,因此对该盆地沉积记录的研究对探讨青藏高原东北缘晚新生代构造活动事件具有重要的意义。通过对天水盆地晚新生代砂岩和含砾砂岩地层中碎屑颗粒磷灰石裂变径迹热年代学研究,推断23.7Ma左右天水盆地北部沉积物源区西秦岭发生了一次与青藏高原隆升有关的构造—热事件,该事件可能导致天水盆地的形成,并开始接受新近系冲积相沉积。约14.1Ma左右天水盆地物源区再次发生构造活动,使西秦岭剥露速率加快和盆地进一步拗陷广泛接受河湖相沉积。通过对剥蚀速率的估算,得出天水盆地沉积记录的23.7Ma和14.1Ma西秦岭北部快速抬升事件的平均剥蚀速率分别达0.34mm/a和1.05mm/a。   相似文献
