主 题:South China Sea pre-Cenozoic basement U-Pb geochronology Paleo-Pacific subduction intracontinental collision metamorphic belt
摘 要:The pre-Cenozoic northern South China Sea(SCS)Basin basement was supposed to exist as a complex of heterogeneous segments,divided by dozens of N-S ***,only the Hainan Island and the northeastern SCS region were modestly dated while the extensive basement remains roughly postulated by limited geophysical *** study presents a systematic analysis including U-Pb geochronology,elemental geochemistry and petrographic identification on granite and meta-clastic borehole samples from several key *** from gravity-magnetic joint inversion,this interpretation will be of great significance revealing the tectono-magmatic evolution along the southeastern margin of the Eurasian *** the thick Cenozoic sediments,the northern SCS is composed of a uniform Mesozoic basement while the Precambrian rocks are only constricted along the Red River Fault *** eastern part of the northern SCS below the Cenozoic succession was widely intruded by granites with Jurassic-to-early Cretaceous *** western part,on the other hand,is represented by meta-sedimentary rocks with relatively sporadic granite *** be noted,the western areas derived higher-degree and wider metamorphic zones,which is in contrast with the lowerdegree and narrower metamorphic belt developed in the eastern *** collisions between the Indochina Block and South China continent took place since at least late Triassic,resulting in large-scale suturing and deformation *** the westernmost part of the northern SCS,the intracontinental amalgamation with closure of the Meso-Tethys has caused fairly stronger and broader *** metamorphic biotite granite is located on the suturing belt and yields a Precambrian U-Pb *** likely represents the relict from the ancient Gondwana supercontinent or its ***-continental collision between the Paleo-Pacific and the southeast China Block,on the other hand,results in a relatively narrow NE–SW tren
