Five Paleogene volcanics sampled from the northern South China Sea were analyzed via LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating,including basalt and andesite from Borehole SCSV1 and volcanic agglomerate from Borehole SCSV2,respectively.A total of 162 zircon U-Pb dates for them cover an age range from Neoarchean to Eocene,in which the pre-Paleocene data dominate.The Paleogene dates of 62.5±2.2 Ma and 42.1±2.9 Ma are associated with two igneous episodes prior to opening of South China Sea basin.Those pre-Paleocene zircons are inherited zircons mostly with magmatogenic oscillatory zones,and have REE features of crustal zircon.Zircon U-Pb dates of 2518–2481 Ma,1933– 1724 Ma,and 1094–1040 Ma from the SCSV1 volcanics,and 2810–2718 Ma,2458–2421 Ma,and 1850 –993.4 Ma from the SCSV2 volcanics reveal part of Precambrian evolution of the northern South China Sea,well comparable with age records dated from the Cathaysia block.The data of 927.0±6.9 Ma and 781±38 Ma dated from the SCSV2 coincide with amalgamation between Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks and breakup of the Rodinia,respectively.The age records of Caledonian orogeny from the Cathaysia block are widely found from our volcanic samples with concordant mean ages of 432.0±5.8 Ma from the SCSV1 and of 437±15 Ma from the SCSV2.The part of the northern South China Sea resembling the Cathaysia underwent Indosinian and Yanshannian tectonothermal events.Their age signatures from the SCSV1 cover 266.5±3.5 Ma,241.1±6.0 Ma,184.0±4.2 Ma,160.9±4.2 Ma and 102.8±2.6 Ma,and from the SCSV2 are 244±15 Ma,158.1±3.5 Ma,141±13 Ma and 96.3±2.1 Ma.Our pre-Paleogene U-Pb age spectra of zircons from the borehole volcanics indicate that the northern South China Sea underwent an evolution from formation of Precambrian basement,Caledonian orogeny,and Indosinian orogeny to Yanshannian magmatism.This process can be well comparable with the tectonic evolution of South China,largely supporting the areas of the northern South China Sea as part of southward extension of the Cathaysia.  相似文献

通过对内蒙古赤峰市广兴源乡于家北沟组模式剖面植物化石和安山质晶屑岩屑凝灰岩锆石U-Pb同位素年代学的研究,结合动物化石的分析,确认于家北沟组地质时代为中二叠世。于家北沟组植物化石以Gigantonoclea hallei Asama、Fascipteris sinensis Stockm. et Math.、Pecopteris taiyuanensis Halle、Pterophyllum daihoense Kaw.等众多华夏植物群典型分子为特征,属于典型的华夏植物群。目前,在中二叠世植物群中,从未发现有华夏和安加拉两大植物群的混生现象,这一事实进一步表明,中二叠世横亘于华北板块和佳蒙地块之间的古亚洲洋尚未闭合,在植物地理分布上起着重要的阻隔作用。  相似文献   

Shear-wave splitting in the southeast of Cathaysia block, South China   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

This study is focused on Fujing Province in China, southeast of Cathaysia block (SECB). The present work benefits from the data provided by the Fujian Seismic Network (FJSN) to study the seismic anisotropy in the crust. By means of a systematic analysis and adequate software package, we examine shear-wave splitting from data recorded at ten FJSN stations during the period January 1999 to December 2003. The results demonstrate that the average fast wave polarization is N109.4° E ± 42.6°, corresponding to the horizontal principal compressive stress in the test zone, and the average normalized slow wave time delay is 2.5 ± 1.5 ms/km. The predominant polarizations at stations in the eastern part of SECB are in the N–W direction, which suggests that they are related to the regional horizontal principal compressive stress and also to the strikes of faults. In contrast, the predominant polarizations at two stations in the western part of SECB are in the N–E direction. This polarization direction does not coincide with the direction of the horizontal principal compressive stress, but it follows the strikes of near faults, thus suggesting the influence of the local tectonics and a change in the stress field. The results prove that the predominant polarizations are parallel to the strikes of faults whenever the stations are on active faults. At a few stations near the coastal line, some polarizations show a certain amount of scatter which may be caused by crossing faults and irregular topography. Finally, the spatial distribution of time delays depicts strong lateral variations near the coast just where the seismic activity is comparatively bigger, so that the magnitude of anisotropy seems to be consistent with the most seismically active area.  相似文献   

Crustal wide-angle reflection imaging along Lianxian-Gangkou profile in Guangdong province,China          下载免费PDF全文

A 400 km-long wide-angle seismic experiment along Lianxian-Gangkou profile in South China was carried out to study contact relationship between southeast continental margin of Yangtze block and northwest continental margin of Cathaysia block. We reconstructed crustal wide-angle reflection structure by the depth-domain pre-stack migration and the crustal velocity model constructed from the traveltime fitting. The wide-angle reflection section shows different reflection (from crystalline basement and Moho) pattern beneath the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks, and suggests the Wuchuan-Sihui fault is the boundary between them. A cluster of well-developed reflections on Moho and in its underlying topmost mantle probably comes from alternative thin layers, which may be seismic signature of strong interaction between crust and mantle in the tectonic environment of lithosphere extension.  相似文献   

A Paleoproterozoic orogeny recorded in a long-lived cratonic remnant (Wuyishan terrane), eastern Cathaysia Block, China   总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12

The Precambrian basement of northern Wuyishan (southern Zhejiang Province, eastern Cathaysia Block, South China), consists mainly of Paleoproterozoic granites and metamorphic rocks of the Badu Complex, which are the oldest rocks found in the Cathaysia Block. LA-ICPMS zircon U–Pb ages for a gneiss and five gneissic granites from the Tianhou, Danzhu, Xiaji and Lizhuang plutons indicate that magmatism and metamorphism took place between 1888 and 1855 Ma. The Xiaji (1888 ± 7 Ma) and Lizhuang (1875 ± 9 Ma) granites have high SiO₂, K₂O and Rb contents, high A/CNK (1.09–1.40) and Rb/Sr, and low contents of Sr, REE and mafic components (Mg, Fe, Ti, Mn and other transition metals). They have the geochemical signature of S-type granites, and a sedimentary protolith is confirmed by the presence of abundant inherited zircons with a range of ages and Hf-isotope compositions. The Tianhou and Danzhu granites are metaluminous to weakly peraluminous (A/CNK = 0.80–1.07), and have low SiO₂ contents, high Ga/Al and FeO/(FeO + MgO) ratios, and Zn and HFSE concentrations typical of A-type granites. They also record high crystallization temperatures (885–920 °C), consistent with A-type granites. High Y/Nb ratios (>1.4) indicate that they belong to the A₂ subgroup, suggesting that they probably formed in a post-orogenic tectonic setting. Their ages range from 1867 to 1855 Ma, slightly later than the syn-collisional Lizhuang and Xiaji S-type granites. These granitic rocks and the metamorphic rocks of the Badu Complex define a late Paleoproterozoic orogenic cycle in the area. All the 1.86–1.90 Ga zircons, whether derived from S- or A-type granites, show similar Hf-isotopic compositions, with Hf model ages clustering at 2.8 Ga. These model ages, and inherited zircons (ca. 2.5–2.7 Ga) found in some rocks, indicate that the late Paleoproterozoic magmatism and tectonism of the eastern Cathaysia Block represent an overprint on an Archaean basement. This Paleoproterozoic orogeny in the Wuyishan terrane coincides with the assembly of the supercontinent Columbia, suggesting that the Wuyishan terrane was the part of this supercontinent.Zircon ages also record an early Mesozoic (Triassic) tectonothermal overprint that was very intensive in the northern Wuyishan area, leading to high-grade metamorphism of Paleoproterozoic basement, Pb loss from Paleoproterozoic zircons and overgrowth of new zircon. The central and southern parts of Wuyishan and the Chencai area (northern Zhejiang Province) also experienced strong reworking in Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic times. The Wuyishan terrane (especially in the north) represents a long-lived remnant of the old craton, which has survived for at least one billion years. The compositions of the basement rocks, the Paleoproterozoic orogeny and the Triassic tectonothermal imprint in the Wuyishan terrane are similar to those recognized in the Yeongnam massif of South Korea, suggesting that the two terranes may have been connected from Paleoproterozoic to Triassic time.  相似文献   

北祁连山东段晚石炭世巴什基尔期植物群 ——兼论华夏植物群起源中心     

程晨  王军  李丹丹  吴秀元 《地质论评》2019,65(2):491-502

北祁连山东段纳缪尔晚期(相当于巴什基尔期)植物群,共33属95种植物,其中地方性的土著分子(属、种)占有整个植物群总数的80%以上,华夏植物群(Cathaysia Flora)的典型特征分子较多,如①东方型鳞木类占植物群总数的25%左右,包括从早石炭世延续下来的华夏木(Cathaysiodendron)、多种东方型鳞木(Lepidodendron)、窝木(Bothrodendron)及扁圆封印木(Sigillaria brardii);②由晚泥盆世开始出现的龙潭楔叶(Sphenophyllum lungtanense)、长沙楔叶?(Sphenophyllum?(Tetrafolia)changshaense)、早石炭世的靖远楔叶(Sphenophyllum jingyuanense)到纳缪尔晚期的微缺楔叶(Sphenophyllum emarginatum),这类具有长楔形叶的植物出现得比欧美地区早许多,可能是二叠纪瓣轮叶(Lobatannularia)的最早祖先;③齿叶属(Tingia)在早石炭世晚期已经出现,到纳缪尔晚期(红土洼组)已有三种之多,加上贝叶属(Conchophyllum),这两属一直被认为是华夏植物群的典型代表;④多种早石炭世中、晚期繁盛的真蕨类植物偶脉羊齿(Paripteris)及网羊齿(Linopteris)到晚石炭世早、中期仍十分发育,是华夏植物群早期最显著的特征;⑤早石炭世的畸羊齿(Mariopteris(Karinopteris))继续发育,而后可能演化成大羽羊齿类植物(Gigantopterids)的先祖。本文通过对比研究证实,北祁连山东段的纳缪尔晚期植物群已经进入华夏植物群的早期演化阶段;自从晚泥盆世的沙流水组开始,先后经历了早石炭世的臭牛沟组,靖远组及晚石炭世红土洼组和羊虎沟组(本溪组)代表了前华夏植物群(Procathaysian Flora)演替为华夏植物群的关键地质时期。北祁连山东段亦成为前华夏植物群和华夏植物群早期发育、繁盛之地区,在纳缪尔期可能是华夏植物群的起源和早期演化中心。  相似文献   

陈蔡早古生代俯冲增生杂岩对华夏与扬子地块拼合过程的指示意义     

赵希林  姜杨  邢光福  于胜尧  彭银彪  黄文成  王存智  靳国栋 《吉林大学学报(地球科学版)》2018,48(4):1135-1153

华夏地块与扬子地块的拼合时限与方式长期存在争议。本文对出露于浙江诸暨一带的原"陈蔡岩群"进行了详细的露头尺度解剖。野外地质调查表明,原"陈蔡岩群"主要由不同性质的外来岩块与基质组成。其中：代表外来岩块的大理岩及斜长角闪岩的变质年龄分别为（424.7±2.9）和（420.6±1.8）Ma,成岩年龄分别为（479.2±9.5）~（424.7±2.9）Ma和（507.7±7.8）~（420.6±1.8）Ma,斜长角闪岩原岩为具OIB（洋岛玄武岩）特征的碱性玄武岩,大理岩的原岩为海相碳酸盐岩,二者共同构成了洋岛海山组合。代表原地岩块的变长石石英砂岩主要物源区为3 620~1 530 Ma形成于活动大陆边缘和大陆岛弧环境下的古老地壳物质;与之构造混杂接触的斜长角闪岩变质年龄为（438.0±2.5）Ma,其原岩分别为形成于消减带岛弧环境的岛弧拉斑玄武岩、形成于俯冲环境下的富Nb玄武岩和洋岛海山环境下的具OIB特征的碱性玄武岩类。代表基质的含榴黑云斜长片麻岩LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄测试结果表明,其变质年龄为（441.0±3.0）Ma,碎屑²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄多数为840~780 Ma,反映其物源主要来自于新元古代,且最年轻的沉积年龄限定在598 Ma,说明片麻岩原岩可能为早古生代沉积地层。陈蔡地区该套岩石组合的发现表明,原"陈蔡岩群"的构造属性应为早古生代俯冲增生杂岩。结合测区及龙游地区新发现的加里东期麻粒岩和退变榴闪岩,提出扬子与华夏两大地块碰撞于445~420 Ma。  相似文献   

新一轮岩相古地理编图对华南重大地质问题的反映--早古生代晚期“华南统一板块”演化   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

以板块级别的小比例尺岩相古地理编图为手段,重塑和反映构造-盆地演化过程,可为探讨重大地学问题提供线索依据。从华南大区古地理重建的角度,对构造学者提出的“华南统一板块”和加里东晚期“陆内造山”模式给予验证。研究表明:以往认为属不同构造单元的扬子陆块和华夏地块之间,沉积相配置为连续过渡、符合瓦尔特相律,没有分隔盆地的重大构造界线,指示华南残留洋盆并不存在。早古生代晚期的古地理演化并未反映出洋盆消减、被动大陆边缘向前陆盆地转换,而是板内挤压的造山、造陆过程,可分为板内地壳调整（中奥陶世至早志留世鲁丹期）和板块整体抬升（早志留世埃隆期至志留纪末）两个阶段。其实质是在构造转型背景下,华南板块从松散到紧合的“再克拉通化”过程。  相似文献

华夏地块前加里东期变质基底的年代构造格架   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

赵风清 《华北地质》1999,(2)

华夏地块的前加里东期变质基底大致可划分为三大构造展,主体为古元古代中条旋回的结晶基底和新元古代-早古生代的褶皱基底,局部存在裂谷环境下的中元古代变质岩石。大量的单颗粒钻石年龄和Sin－Nd同位素测年资料显示出华夏地块的古元古代岩石形成于2400～2000Ma,中元古代的岩石形成于1400～1000Ma,而新元古代-早古生代的地层大致形成于740～430Ma。中条运动是华夏地块一次重要的造壳运动,奠基了华夏地块结晶基底,晋宁运动使华夏地块的闽浙隆起区彻底固结,而加里东运动则使得整个华夏地块彻底固结。  相似文献
