Abstract: | The Linglong granitoid complex (LGC) is composed of four major plutonic units that intruded and cooled in the Middle Jurassic
(170-155 Ma). Gravity-anomaly modeling indicates that the LGC is a sheet-like laccolith, less than 10 km thick, that dips
shallowly below the surface toward the Tancheng-Lujiang (Tan-Lu) fault, a major lithospheric structure in Eastern China. Measurements
of foliation in the field and measurements of planar and linear magnetic fabrics from the study of anisotropy of magnetic
susceptibility in the LGC indicate that foliation is dominantly shallowly dipping and magnetic lineation is mainly parallel
to the dip direction of the laccolith toward the Tan-Lu fault zone. The trend of lineations is consistent with flow of magma
up the thrust to reach shallower levels. The magma of the LGC probably originated by crustal melting within the Tan-Lu fault
zone and the emplacement of magma occurred along a shallowly-dipping thrust that drained the Tan-Lu fault zone, the mechanism
of which is mainly dike-fed model. |
