Based on the results of geological characteristics,petrology, geochemistry and isotopic dating, the Altun Orogenic Zone can be divided into four tectonic units and is considered to have undergone five stages during its tectonic evolution.The four tectonics units are :(1) Abei metamorphic block, which consists of Archean metamorphic complex of granulite facies;.(2) Hongliugou—Lapeiquan tectonic melange belt, which is composed of ophiolite blocks(belt), OIB blocks, pelagic silicalite, shallow\|bathyal sedimentary rock blocks and high\|pressure metamorphi c rock blocks. (3) Milanhe—Jinyanshan island\|arc block, which consists of mid\|uplifting belt and the south and north active margins. The uplifting belt is composed of metasandstone, marble, overlying thick stromatolite (Jinyanshan Group of Jixian System). Metamorphic rocks of 450Ma occur in both south and north hactive margin. Post\|collision bimodal volcanic rocks and A\|type granite occur in the middle and the north side.(4) Apa—Mangya tectonic melange belt, which consists of ophiolite(including ultramafic rocks, gabbro, plagiogranite and basalt) and flysch and eclogite of late Ordovician.展开更多

The present study, based on structural, petrological and geochronological investigations in the Kinnar Kailas Granite (KKG) and surrounding HHC sequence, evidences a discordant intrusive contact of the Ordovician KKG with respect to Pre\|Alpine high grade deformed HHC sequence in the Sutlej valley.Four main phases of deformation are recorded in this HHC sequence and pre\|Ordovician sediments. The first three phases of deformation occurred under high\|grade metamorphic conditions, before the intrusion of the KKG. The geometry of the main progressive ductile deformation (D2—D3) results from SW vergent doming and migmatisation. The latest deformation is expressed by local shearing under greenschist facies conditions. This late D4 deformation corresponds to N—S oriented ductile normal faults lowering the eastern blocks. The KKG is a shallow depth intrusion, showing discordant contacts with the surrounding basement rocks and large scale magmatic stoping. The KKG crosscuts the high\|grade deformation structures (D2—D3) but is locally affected by the local late D4 extensional deformation. The granite textures reflect only slight orientation related to magmatic deformation and even at few centimetres from the intrusion contact, the granite appears undeformed in contrast to the surrounding highly foliated rocks. Furthermore, xenoliths of Kyanite\|Sillimanite bearing basement rocks are present within the KKG.展开更多

However, the origin, temporal-spatial distribution of ancient materials, and their roles in crust evolution remain to debate. This paper presents an integrated study of zircon U-Pb ages and Hf-O isotopes for Mesoproterozoic and Paleozoic granites from the Erenhot region of central Inner Mongolia, along eastern CAOB. The intrusion of 1450 Ma syenogranite denotes that the Precambrian basement of XAB extends from Sonid Zuoqi westward to Erenhot. The 384 and 281 Ma monzogranites containing Mesoproterozoic xenocrystic zircons possess Proterozoic-dominant two-stage Hf model ages, further suggesting the wide existence of Proterozoic crust beneath western XAB. Cyclic Proterozoic crustal growth and reworking seem to show close linkages with the orogenesis during relevant supercontinent cycles. 1450-1360 Ma juvenile crustal growth at Erenhot and synchronous ancient crust reworking at Sonid Zuoqi and Abagaqi were likely resulted from retreating subduction involved in Columbia breakup, while 1.2-1.0 Ga reworking and 0.9-0.7 Ga growth events within the Erenhot basement might respond to assembly and breakup of Rodinia, respectively. Besides, our work confirms that reworking of Neoproterozoic crust played important roles during Paleozoic multi-stage accretion of CAOB.展开更多

This kind of evolution is not simply repeated but that a later stage is elevation and development of its former stage.Space\|time distribution of granitoids varies with each different tectonic\| magmatic stage as well as within different periods of the same tectonic\| magmatism stage. Take time into condition , It is an important turning movement of tectonics\|magmatism evolution during the Indo\|Sinian movement, as space the middle fault (Jiang Chunfa 1982) of the West Kunlun orogenic belt is a significant border o f tectonics\|magmatism evolution. Granitoids formed before Indo\|Sinian movement are mainly distributed to the north of the middle fault of West Kunlun. These granitoids are mostly granites of early and middle Proterozoic, Caledonian and Hercynian ages. A unique control on the granitoid evolution is that they become younger from NE to SW, crossing the regional structure line. Granitoids formed after Indo\|Sinian movement are mainly distributed to the south of the middle fault. But distribution of granitoids of early Yanshan cycle cut across the middle fault of West Kunlun Mountain. Their age distribution shows a bidirectional control with the granitoids becoming younger across the regional structural lines from NE and SW boundary fault to the interior of the fracture belts.展开更多

The intrusive rocks are mainly of Hercynian—Indo\|Sinian cycle and less of Caledonian and Yanshanian cycle [1～2] . During the geological mapping of 1∶250000 of Donggeicuonahu area, we firstly found the evidence of intrusive rock of Jinning cycle. Intrusive rocks of Jinning cycle, whose exposed area is about 30km, are located in Waliaoga\|Shaxiong area among East Kunlun magmatic arc belt and are composed of two intrusive bodies. The rock types of Jinning cycle are mainly trondjemite and tonalite. Their wall rocks are Baishahe Group of Paleo\|Proterozoic and was intruded by Hercynian-Indo\|Sinian cycle granodiorite . The wall rock types are mainly banded amphibolite,biotite\|plagioclase schist,leptynite,leptite,banded marble and mica\|schist , their metamorphic condition is overall middle amphibole facies , partly granulite facies , tectonic deformation was mainly of flowage fold and flowage shear in middle and deep levers. Although intrusive rocks of Jinning cycle had undergone intensive metamorphism and deformation, they also preserve the intrusive appearance and are uniform in field. We can see intrusive contacted with wall rock or infolded the basic inclusions. Gneissosity is very common in intrusive rocks of Jinning cycle. Even though intensive metamorphism and deformation lead to interlude between intrusive body and wall rock, most wall rock exists in intrusive rocks as giant roof or inclusions in general, we can see intrusive contacted between intrusive body and wall rock locally. Intrusive rocks are hoar color, meso\|coarse grain lepido\|granoblastic texture , minerals are mainly plagioclase evidence to study the forming and evolution of orogeny of Jinning and Caledonian cycle.展开更多

During the early stage about 1900～1800 Ma, the DCR consisted of five huge slices which obducted over and stacked up along a series of hightemperature shear zone (HTSZ), and were subsequently uplifted from the deep crustal level to the middle one accompanied with granuliteamphibolite facies retrometamorphic reworking in HTSZ. From 1800～1700 Ma, some slices and HTSZ mentioned above were oveprinted by several lowtemperature shear zone (LTSZ), of which the lowangle oblique thrusts caused these DCR to uplift again from the middle crustal level to the shallow one, and experienced retrometamorphic reworking of greenschist facies. These two stages of uplifting processes should be included in an entire Early Proterozoic orogenic cycle.展开更多

It is regarded as a composite orogenic belt characterized by having developed superimposed ductile tectonic regimes reflecting the collision orogeny during Early Paleozoic and Triassic periods. It has also experienced transformation from ductile to brittle deformation caused by the post orogeny, since Jurassic after the formation of the East Kunlun Mountain and the Qaidam Basin. A Paleozoic subduction complex zone was recently recognized along the north border of the East Kunlun terrain from Da Qaidam to Dulan (Xu,et al, 1 999). It is composed of ophiolite (of Early Paleozoic age?), tectonic melange and very high\|pressure metamorphic rocks with eclogite (\%p\%=2 2GPa, \%t\%=720℃) (Yang,et al.,1998) and garnet\|peridotite (\%p\%=2 5GPa, t =837℃). The Anyemaqin Triassic subduction complex zone trending in NWW\|SEE was developed along the eastern segment of the south border of the East Kunlun terrain. It is mainly composed of ultramafic and mafic rocks, pillow basalt, radiolaria\|bearing clastic rocks, tectonic melange and mylonite. The subduction complex zone contains a series of the southward overthrusting imbricated slices. Instead of this subduction complex zone, a 2 km\|wide sinistral strike\|slip ductile shear zone trending in E\|W was developed along the western segment. On the basis of macroscopic and microscopic studies on a series of structural sections, we divide the East Kunlun Mountain into four tectonic units as follows: (1) North Proterozoic Metamorphic Basement Zone; (2) South Early Paleozoic—Triassic Superimposed Fold Zone; (3) South Triassic Transpression Zone; (4) Anyemaqin Back\|Arc Decollement\|Thrust Zone.展开更多

It has been proved that there occurred a series of plate subduction, collision, assembly, rifting and breakup processes between them since Palaeozoic and the tectonic evolutionary relationship between them is clear. But in Proterozoic this kind of links between them became unclear. Did they undergo the assembly and breakup processes of the Rodinia super continent? This paper will take a primary discussion on this question on the basis of basement component, structure characteristics and magmatic activities.1\ Basement features\;(1) In western margin of Yangtze block its basement is composed of crystalline basement and folded basement, a so\|called double\|layer structure. The crystalline basement is made up of Kangding group, Pudeng Formation and Dibadu Formation, among them Kangding group is a representative and composed mainly of migmatite, compositing gneiss, hornblende schist and granulitite. The isotopic age of crystalline basement is older than 1900Ma, so its geological time is late Archaean to early Proterozoic. The folded basement is composed of Dahongshan group, Hekou group, Kunyang group, Huili group and Yanbian group. Their rock associations are made up mainly of spilite\|keratophyre formation, carbonate formation, clastic rock and clastic rock formation with some basic volcanic rocks. The folded basement is assigned to be early and middle Proterozoic (1000～1700M a).展开更多

The A’nyemaqen—Mianlue oceanic basin was one of a northeast branches of Paleo\|Tethys (Zhang Guowei, 1995; 1996) .Our researches on deformations reveal that tectonic styles of the Southwest Qinling orogenic belt is obviously influenced by the dynamics of Qinghai—Tibet plateau.Structural deformation analysis suggested that the southwest part of Qinling have undergone 3 major deformation stages in Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Firstly, rock folding at deep\|middle tectonic level and progressively thrusting shearing characterized the deformation of collision. The thrust tectonics are south\|directed, such as A’nymaque, Wenxian—Kangxian and Mianlue thrusting systems, and the deformations took place in T\-2—T\-3. Secondly, the middle\|tectonic level thrusting and sinistral strike\|slip formed at early intracontinental period (J—K), the thrust tectonics was south\|directed and the regional penetrative left\|lateral slips were NW or NWW. Finally, the east\|west extensional deformations which occurred in late Mesozoic and Cenozoic, a series of north\|south directing basins came into being in this stage, Huixian—Chengxian basin and Lixian basin for example, which overlapped the former deformation styles.展开更多

文摘The Altun faulted Zone has been focused by lots of geologists for many years because it lies in a boundary area of several main tectonic units in the western China and is a geographically northern boundary line of Tibet plateau.The latest achievements show that the Altun faulted zone is not only a Cenozoic strike\|slip faulted system but also an orogenic zone which underwent mutually subduction\|collision among paleo\|plates (or terrains) in its early stage and consists of geological bodies of different ages and tectonic environments. Based on the results of geological characteristics,petrology, geochemistry and isotopic dating, the Altun Orogenic Zone can be divided into four tectonic units and is considered to have undergone five stages during its tectonic evolution.The four tectonics units are :(1) Abei metamorphic block, which consists of Archean metamorphic complex of granulite facies;.(2) Hongliugou—Lapeiquan tectonic melange belt, which is composed of ophiolite blocks(belt), OIB blocks, pelagic silicalite, shallow\|bathyal sedimentary rock blocks and high\|pressure metamorphi c rock blocks. (3) Milanhe—Jinyanshan island\|arc block, which consists of mid\|uplifting belt and the south and north active margins. The uplifting belt is composed of metasandstone, marble, overlying thick stromatolite (Jinyanshan Group of Jixian System). Metamorphic rocks of 450Ma occur in both south and north hactive margin. Post\|collision bimodal volcanic rocks and A\|type granite occur in the middle and the north side.(4) Apa—Mangya tectonic melange belt, which consists of ophiolite(including ultramafic rocks, gabbro, plagiogranite and basalt) and flysch and eclogite of late Ordovician.
文摘Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) rocks often show metamorphic zonations from lower greenschist facies to migmatites associated with leucogranite intrusions that are classically described as examples of Tertiary inverted metamorphism. The present study, based on structural, petrological and geochronological investigations in the Kinnar Kailas Granite (KKG) and surrounding HHC sequence, evidences a discordant intrusive contact of the Ordovician KKG with respect to Pre\|Alpine high grade deformed HHC sequence in the Sutlej valley.Four main phases of deformation are recorded in this HHC sequence and pre\|Ordovician sediments. The first three phases of deformation occurred under high\|grade metamorphic conditions, before the intrusion of the KKG. The geometry of the main progressive ductile deformation (D2—D3) results from SW vergent doming and migmatisation. The latest deformation is expressed by local shearing under greenschist facies conditions. This late D4 deformation corresponds to N—S oriented ductile normal faults lowering the eastern blocks. The KKG is a shallow depth intrusion, showing discordant contacts with the surrounding basement rocks and large scale magmatic stoping. The KKG crosscuts the high\|grade deformation structures (D2—D3) but is locally affected by the local late D4 extensional deformation. The granite textures reflect only slight orientation related to magmatic deformation and even at few centimetres from the intrusion contact, the granite appears undeformed in contrast to the surrounding highly foliated rocks. Furthermore, xenoliths of Kyanite\|Sillimanite bearing basement rocks are present within the KKG.

文摘As part of the mosaic of micro-continents within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt(CAOB), the Xing’anAirgin Sum Block(XAB) features increasingly-recognized Meso-Neoproterozoic geological records. However, the origin, temporal-spatial distribution of ancient materials, and their roles in crust evolution remain to debate. This paper presents an integrated study of zircon U-Pb ages and Hf-O isotopes for Mesoproterozoic and Paleozoic granites from the Erenhot region of central Inner Mongolia, along eastern CAOB. The intrusion of 1450 Ma syenogranite denotes that the Precambrian basement of XAB extends from Sonid Zuoqi westward to Erenhot. The 384 and 281 Ma monzogranites containing Mesoproterozoic xenocrystic zircons possess Proterozoic-dominant two-stage Hf model ages, further suggesting the wide existence of Proterozoic crust beneath western XAB. Cyclic Proterozoic crustal growth and reworking seem to show close linkages with the orogenesis during relevant supercontinent cycles. 1450-1360 Ma juvenile crustal growth at Erenhot and synchronous ancient crust reworking at Sonid Zuoqi and Abagaqi were likely resulted from retreating subduction involved in Columbia breakup, while 1.2-1.0 Ga reworking and 0.9-0.7 Ga growth events within the Erenhot basement might respond to assembly and breakup of Rodinia, respectively. Besides, our work confirms that reworking of Neoproterozoic crust played important roles during Paleozoic multi-stage accretion of CAOB.

The intrusive rocks are mainly of Hercynian—Indo\|Sinian cycle and less of Caledonian and Yanshanian cycle [1～2] .

文摘Deep crustal rocks of the Early Proterozoic orogenic belt (DCR)in Daqingshan area mainly included the synorogenicmetamorphic khondalite series and reworked Archeanbasement granulites. During the early stage about 1900～1800 Ma, the DCR consisted of five huge slices which obducted over and stacked up along a series of hightemperature shear zone (HTSZ), and were subsequently uplifted from the deep crustal level to the middle one accompanied with granuliteamphibolite facies retrometamorphic reworking in HTSZ. From 1800～1700 Ma, some slices and HTSZ mentioned above were oveprinted by several lowtemperature shear zone (LTSZ), of which the lowangle oblique thrusts caused these DCR to uplift again from the middle crustal level to the shallow one, and experienced retrometamorphic reworking of greenschist facies. These two stages of uplifting processes should be included in an entire Early Proterozoic orogenic cycle.

文摘The Dahongliutan granitic pluton,in the eastern part of the West Kunlun orogenic belt,provides significant insights for studying the tectonic evolution of West Kunlun.This paper presents a systematic study of LA-ICP-MS zircon U Pb age,major and trace elements,Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes,and the first detailed Li isotope analysis of the Dahongliutan pluton.LA-ICP-MS zircon U Pb dating shows that the Dahongliutan granites were emplaced in the Late Triassic((213±2.1)Ma).Geochemical data show relatively high SiO2 contents(68.45 wt%73.62 wt%)and aluminum saturation index(A/CNK=1.111.21)indicates peraluminous high-K calc-alkaline granite.The Dahongliutan granites are relatively high in light rare earth elements(LREE)and large ion lithophile elements(LILEs)(e.g.,Rb,K,Th),and relatively depleted in high field strength elements(HFSEs)(e.g.,Nb,Ta,P,Ti).TheεNd(t)values range from 8.71 to 4.73,and(87Sr/86Sr)i=0.70870.71574.Zircons from the pluton yield 176Hf/177Hf values of 0.2826181 to 0.2827683,andεHf(t)values are around 0;the two-stage Hf model ages range from 0.974 to 1.307 Ga.Theδ7Li values are 0.76‰3.25‰,with an average of 2.53‰.Isotopic compositions of the pluton suggest a mixed trend between the partial melting of the Middle Proterozoic ancient crustal material and a juvenile mantle-derived material.This study infers that the Dahongliutan rock mass is formed in the post-collisional extension environment,when the collision between South Kunlun and the Tianshuihai terranes results in the closure of the Palaeo-Tethys.The mantle-derived magma results in partial melting of the lower crust.
文摘The East Kunlun terrain is located on the northern Qinghai—Tibet plateau, composed of the East Kunlun Mountain and the Qaidam Basin and bounded by the Qilian terrain on the north and Bayanhar—Songpan Ganze terrain on the south. It is regarded as a composite orogenic belt characterized by having developed superimposed ductile tectonic regimes reflecting the collision orogeny during Early Paleozoic and Triassic periods. It has also experienced transformation from ductile to brittle deformation caused by the post orogeny, since Jurassic after the formation of the East Kunlun Mountain and the Qaidam Basin. A Paleozoic subduction complex zone was recently recognized along the north border of the East Kunlun terrain from Da Qaidam to Dulan (Xu,et al, 1 999). It is composed of ophiolite (of Early Paleozoic age?), tectonic melange and very high\|pressure metamorphic rocks with eclogite (\%p\%=2 2GPa, \%t\%=720℃) (Yang,et al.,1998) and garnet\|peridotite (\%p\%=2 5GPa, t =837℃). The Anyemaqin Triassic subduction complex zone trending in NWW\|SEE was developed along the eastern segment of the south border of the East Kunlun terrain. It is mainly composed of ultramafic and mafic rocks, pillow basalt, radiolaria\|bearing clastic rocks, tectonic melange and mylonite. The subduction complex zone contains a series of the southward overthrusting imbricated slices. Instead of this subduction complex zone, a 2 km\|wide sinistral strike\|slip ductile shear zone trending in E\|W was developed along the western segment. On the basis of macroscopic and microscopic studies on a series of structural sections, we divide the East Kunlun Mountain into four tectonic units as follows: (1) North Proterozoic Metamorphic Basement Zone; (2) South Early Paleozoic—Triassic Superimposed Fold Zone; (3) South Triassic Transpression Zone; (4) Anyemaqin Back\|Arc Decollement\|Thrust Zone.
文摘The western margin of Yangtze block and southwestern Sanjiang region absorbed much attention from geologists. It has been proved that there occurred a series of plate subduction, collision, assembly, rifting and breakup processes between them since Palaeozoic and the tectonic evolutionary relationship between them is clear. But in Proterozoic this kind of links between them became unclear. Did they undergo the assembly and breakup processes of the Rodinia super continent? This paper will take a primary discussion on this question on the basis of basement component, structure characteristics and magmatic activities.1\ Basement features\;(1) In western margin of Yangtze block its basement is composed of crystalline basement and folded basement, a so\|called double\|layer structure. The crystalline basement is made up of Kangding group, Pudeng Formation and Dibadu Formation, among them Kangding group is a representative and composed mainly of migmatite, compositing gneiss, hornblende schist and granulitite. The isotopic age of crystalline basement is older than 1900Ma, so its geological time is late Archaean to early Proterozoic. The folded basement is composed of Dahongshan group, Hekou group, Kunyang group, Huili group and Yanbian group. Their rock associations are made up mainly of spilite\|keratophyre formation, carbonate formation, clastic rock and clastic rock formation with some basic volcanic rocks. The folded basement is assigned to be early and middle Proterozoic (1000～1700M a).
文摘The Ediacarian volcanic series from the Lac Ifni sector are composed of a large variety of rocks from basalts and rhyolites to intermediates facies such as andesites,rhyodacites and pyroclastites.All these rocks are intruded by dolerite dikes.Secondary processes are reflected by total serpentinization of olivine within basic andesite and by albitization
文摘Based on the studies of geology and geochemistry, A’nymaque—Mianlue limited oceanic basin is comparable to the Paleo\|Tethys on time, sedimentary, biocoenosis, and the type of ophiolite (Coleman, 1984; Deng, 1984; Xu, 1996;Chenliang, 1999). The A’nyemaqen—Mianlue oceanic basin was one of a northeast branches of Paleo\|Tethys (Zhang Guowei, 1995; 1996) .Our researches on deformations reveal that tectonic styles of the Southwest Qinling orogenic belt is obviously influenced by the dynamics of Qinghai—Tibet plateau.Structural deformation analysis suggested that the southwest part of Qinling have undergone 3 major deformation stages in Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Firstly, rock folding at deep\|middle tectonic level and progressively thrusting shearing characterized the deformation of collision. The thrust tectonics are south\|directed, such as A’nymaque, Wenxian—Kangxian and Mianlue thrusting systems, and the deformations took place in T\-2—T\-3. Secondly, the middle\|tectonic level thrusting and sinistral strike\|slip formed at early intracontinental period (J—K), the thrust tectonics was south\|directed and the regional penetrative left\|lateral slips were NW or NWW. Finally, the east\|west extensional deformations which occurred in late Mesozoic and Cenozoic, a series of north\|south directing basins came into being in this stage, Huixian—Chengxian basin and Lixian basin for example, which overlapped the former deformation styles.
文摘The eastern Tianshan has great economic potential with Fe-(Cu)skarn,Cu-Ni-and V-Ti othomagmatic deposits and orogenic Au lodes.In this province the timing relation between Fe-(Cu)skarn-related deposits and the deformation is poorly constrained.This study aims to give argument for the chronology between Fe-(Cu)skarn stage
文摘This study aims to uses paleomagnetic and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility(AMS)methods to recognize the initial deposit position and to track the paleoflow at the origin of an iron skarn-related deposit.The Yamansu deposit is located in eastern Tianshan(Charvet,2007).This province has a substantial mining potential for Fe–(Cu)skarn,Cu–Ni and V–Ti orthomagmatic deposits,and orogenic Au lodes(Branquet et al.,2012;Zhang et a.,2005;Mao et al.,2005).Recent publication dates the Yamansu deposit at 323 Ma,and uses this deposit to define a model of Submarine Volcanogenic Iron Oxide(SVIO)deposits(Hou et al.,
