Sequence Stratigraphy and Evolution of the Neoproterozoic Marginal Basins Along Southeastern Yangtze Craton, South China     

Jian Wang  Zheng-Xiang Li 《Gondwana Research》2001,4(1)

Four sequence sets have been recognized in the Neoproterozoic basins along the southeastern margin of the Yangtze Craton, South China. The first sequence set consists of the Baizhu and Hetong Formations (or their equivalents), which is absent or partially absent in the denudational areas of the Jiangnan Ridge division. It represents the beginning of the continental rifting. The second sequence set is made up of the Sanmenjie and Gongdong Formations (or their equivalents), and is characterised by widespread rift volcanism. The third sequence set is represented by the Chang'an Formation glacial deposits in the Hunan-Guangxi sub-basin, which is absent in land areas covered by continental ice sheets. The Nantuo tillites and subsequent carbonaceous and siliceous sediments (the Doushantuo and Dengying Formations) constitute the fourth sequence set in the study area, marking the end of the continental rifting. The first three sets have been interpreted as forming the rift-fill, and the last one the rift cover. This study is the first step towards a better understanding of the Neoproterozoic basin history in South China, and a more robust correlation with Neoproterozoic successions in other continents formed during the breakup of Rodinia.  相似文献

Evolution of the Western Margin of Australia during the Rodinian and Gondwanan Supercontinent Cycles     

S.A. Wilde 《Gondwana Research》1999,2(3):481

The proto-Darling Fault zone and its successor, the Darling Fault, extend for 1, 000 km along the western continental margin of Australia and appear to have been active at several periods during the geological past. Deformation commenced at 2,570 Ma and affected Late Archaean granitoids along the western margin of the Yilgarn Craton. Much of the later activity reflects events related to the accretion and breakup associated with the Rodinia and Gondwanaland supercontinent cycles.In the north, rocks of the Northampton and Mullingarra Complexes form part of a high-grade Grenvillian orogenic belt lying to the west of the Darling Fault, referred to as the Pinjarra Orogen. They underwent granulite facies metamorphism 1080 Ma ago and form part of the global collisional event that resulted in the amalgamation of Rodinia. These rocks extend southward beneath Phanerozoic sedimentary cover (the Perth Basin), where they are constrained to the east by the Darling Fault and to the west by the Dunsborough Fault, the latter marking the eastern boundary of the Leeuwin Complex.The Leeuwin Complex is a fragment of Pan-African crust that has traditionally been considered part of the Pinjarra Orogen. It is composed predominantly of upper amphibolite to granulite facies felsic orthogneisses derived from A-type, anorogenic granitoids. Conventional and SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology has established that the granitoids evolved between 780 Ma and 520 Ma and were metamorphosed at 615 Ma. These events are equated with rifting associated with the breakup of Rodinia. Sm-Nd whole rock data support the juvenile nature of the crust and provide no evidence for the involvement of pre-existing Archaean continental material.During the Phanerozoic, the Dunsborough and Darling Faults were reactivated, as normal faults defining the inner arm of a major rift system within Eastern Gondwanaland and controlling sedimentation in the Perth Basin that now overlies the Grenvillian terrane. Major normal movement on the Darling Fault ceased by the Late Jurassic and it appears that continental breakup in the Early Cretaceous occurred along fractures closely related to the western boundary of the Leeuwin Complex that defined the eastern margin of the outer arm of the rift system. Breakup between Australia and Greater India commenced at 132 Ma and was followed by eruption of the Bunbury Basalt at 130 Ma and 123 Ma. This possibly resulted from hot spot activity beneath Eastern Gondwanaland and may have been a reflection of the Kerguelen plume, though the evidence is equivocal.It is argued from the petrographic, geochemical and isotopic characteristics, together with the likely contiguity of the Eastern Gondwanaland continents since the assembly of Rodinia, that the Leeuwin Complex evolved within an intracrustal rift and is not an exotic terrane. It is distinct from adjacent portions of the Pinjarra Orogen and should be considered a separate terrane. It is recommended that use of the term ‘Pinjarra Orogen’ be confined to rocks recording the Grenvillian events, thereby excluding those rocks (the Leeuwin Complex) that evolved during the later Pan-African orogeny.  相似文献   

康定杂岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年及其地质意义   总被引：5，自引：4，他引：1

康定杂岩在扬子地块西缘呈南北向带状分布,这套岩石岩性变化很大(从基性到中性、酸性),中性、酸性岩是组成该杂岩的主体。岩石类型有变辉长岩、闪长质片麻岩、石英闪长质片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩。康定杂岩以往被认为是扬子地块太古宇的基底,但近年来的同位素年龄测定结果表明其并不是形成于太古宙。本研究样品采自康定-泸定地区,挑选有代表性的两个样(样号71704.2、71501.1),对其进行岩石化学与微量元素分析及SHRIMP U-Pb测年。分析得出样品为钙碱性;原始地幔标准化微量元素分布型式显示相对富集大离子亲石元素K、Rb等,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti、P等;稀土元素具有略向右倾的配分型式,且铕异常不明显,显示其具有与消减作用有关的岛弧火成岩的特征。锆石U-Pb分析给出的结晶年龄为765～771 Ma,w(Th)/w(U)大于0.1,具示岩浆成因特征。个别年轻的锆石颗粒,如71704.2中的12.1测点年龄为(430±8)Ma,可能是在后期构造、岩浆、变质作用中新形成的锆石,该年龄可解释为后期变质热事件的年龄。这些充分说明康定杂岩形成于新元古代,而非太古宙。此外,康定杂岩可能形成于岛弧环境,其岩浆主要起源于俯冲洋壳的熔融,结合其形成年龄说明扬子地块西缘新元古代岩浆活动可能是Rodinia超大陆裂解后的产物。  相似文献

This paper, for the first time, deals with a more systematic study of the structures in the Bohaipetroliferous area that covers nearly one third of the Bohai Bay basin. The study mainly involves the effects of preexisting basement faults on the basin formation, the characteristics of basin geometry and kinetics, the modelling of the tectonic-thermal history, the polycyclicity and heterogeneity in the structural evolution and the natural seismic tomographic images of the crust and upper mantle. The authors analyze the features of the dynamic evolution of the basin in the paper and point out that the basin in the Bohai petroliferous area is an extensional pull-apart basin.  相似文献

华北克拉通中元古代大红峪组火山岩是一套高钾(K2O Na2O)、富铝、贫硅的碱玄岩-响质碱玄岩-响岩组合。地球化学特征显示其富集轻稀土(LREE)和大离子亲石元素(LILE)(Rb,Ba,K等)、贫高场强元素(HFSE)(Th,Zr,Hf,HREE等)和弱亏损Nb,Ta的微量元素特征。稀土元素配分模式为右倾,有轻微的Eu正异常,类似于OIB的特征。较稳定的La/Nb比值和εNd(t)值,说明岩浆在上升过程中并未遭受到明显的地壳混染作用;结合岩石Nb,Ta弱亏损以及εNd(t)值为-0.66~0.63的特征,表明其地球化学特征更多的是其地幔源区的反映。因此,岩浆来源于富集地幔,可能为被俯冲交代作用改造过的深部岩石圈地幔,并有OIB特征的软流圈组分加入。构造环境分析表明,大红峪组火山岩形成于板内裂谷,其深部地球动力学过程可能与地幔柱有关。  相似文献   

Petrogenesis of Permian alkaline lamprophyres and diabases from the Spanish Central System and their geodynamic context within western Europe   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

Basic to ultrabasic alkaline lamprophyres and diabases intruded within the Spanish Central System (SCS) during Upper Permian. Their high LREE, LILE and HFSE contents, together with positive Nb–Ta anomalies, link their origin with the infiltration of sublithospheric K-rich fluids. These alkaline dykes may be classified in two distinct groups according to the Sr–Nd isotope ratios: (1) a depleted PREMA-like asthenospheric component, and (2) a BSE-like lithospheric component. A slight enrichment in radiogenic ²⁰⁷Pb and ²⁰⁸Pb allows the contribution of a recycled crustal or lithospheric component in the mantle sources. The intrusion of this alkaline magmatism is likely to have occurred due to adiabatic decompression and mantle upwelling in the context of the widespread rifting developed from Carboniferous to Permian in western Europe. The clear differences in the geochemical affinity of Lower Permian basic magmas from north-western and south-western Europe might be interpreted in terms of a more extensive separation of both regions during that period, until they were assembled during Upper Permian.

A deformed alkaline igneous rock–carbonatite complex from the Western Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina: Evidence for late Neoproterozoic opening of the Clymene Ocean?   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

A deformed ca. 570 Ma syenite–carbonatite body is reported from a Grenville-age (1.0–1.2 Ga) terrane in the Sierra de Maz, one of the Western Sierras Pampeanas of Argentina. This is the first recognition of such a rock assemblage in the basement of the Central Andes. The two main lithologies are coarse-grained syenite (often nepheline-bearing) and enclave-rich fine-grained foliated biotite–calcite carbonatite. Samples of carbonatite and syenite yield an imprecise whole rock Rb–Sr isochron age of 582 ± 60 Ma (MSWD = 1.8; Sri = 0.7029); SHRIMP U–Pb spot analysis of syenite zircons shows a total range of ²⁰⁶Pb–²³⁸U ages between 433 and 612 Ma, with a prominent peak at 560–580 Ma defined by homogeneous zircon areas. Textural interpretation of the zircon data, combined with the constraint of the Rb–Sr data suggest that the carbonatite complex formed at ca. 570 Ma. Further disturbance of the U–Pb system took place at 525 ± 7 Ma (Pampean orogeny) and at ca. 430–440 Ma (Famatinian orogeny) and it is concluded that the Western Sierras Pampeanas basement was joined to Gondwana during both events. Highly unradiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr values in calcites (0.70275–0.70305) provide a close estimate for the initial Sr isotope composition of the carbonatite magma. Sm–Nd data yield Nd₅₇₀ values of +3.3 to +4.8. The complex was probably formed during early opening of the Clymene Ocean from depleted mantle with a component from Meso/Neo-proterozoic lower continental crust.  相似文献
