Abstract

The granite-greenstone belt is the main component of Archean crust, and is critical for resolving the disputes on the tectonic evolution and dominant regime of the early Earth. The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the oldest cratons in the world, and is composed of several continental micro-blocks. The greenstone belts, welding the micro-blocks, were generally considered to be continental or arc-continental collision belts during the amalgamation of the micro-blocks in the late Neoarchean. Thus, the structural pattern of these greenstone belts can provide essential clues for the crustal deformation style during early Precambrian orogeny. The western Shandong granite-greenstone belt (WSGB) located in the eastern NCC was considered as the collision belt of the Jiaoliao and Qianhuai Blocks. There exists a series of ductile shear zones with strike-slip kinematics, including Qixingtai, Nanliu, Yanlingguan, Xintai, Dongling–Huacun, Mengshan, Fengyang–Liangqiu, Qingyi and Baiyan. This paper conducts detailed geometric, kinematic and deformation geochronology studies, and reveal that the mylonitic foliation of the ductile shear zones in the WSGB strikes NW280–350° with angles of 60–80°. The mineral stretching lineation gently plunges to NE or SW at 2–25°. Kinematic indicators show sinistral strike-slip shearing sense. The deformation temperature can be divided into two ranges: 550–600 ℃ and 400–500 ℃, implying that the ductile shear zones in the WSGB was ought to experience early-stage high-temperature and late-stage low-temperature deformation. The deformation age is ∼ 2.58–2.47 Ga constrained by zircon LA-ICP-MS U–Pb and 40Ar–39Ar dating, and this age range includes early-stage high-temperature deformation. Structural restoration through balanced profiles and stereographic projection shows that the initial orientation of NW–NWW-trending ductile shear zones was dipping to the SW, and still were featured by strike-slip kinematics. Syn-kinematic arc-affinity magmatism and sedimentation demonstrate that the NW–NWW-trending ductile shear zones in the WSGB were caused by SE-ward plate convergence, which also led to the NW–SE-trending movement of different blocks along the strike of ductile shear zones. The WSGB represents an active continental margin in the southwestern Jiaoliao Block with intense arc-affinity magmatism and back-arc sedimentation, post-collision crustal-derived granites, traspressive shearing deformation, also indicating that the NCC was dominated by modern-style plate tectonism in the late Neoarchean.

山东西部花岗岩-绿岩带韧性剪切带的运动学和地质年代:对华北克拉通新元古代板块构造的影响
花岗岩-绿岩带是阿基坦地壳的主要组成部分,对于解决早期地球构造演化和主导机制的争议至关重要。华北克拉通(NCC)是世界上最古老的克拉通之一,由多个大陆微块组成。在新元古代晚期,绿岩带焊接了微块,通常被认为是微块汞齐化过程中的大陆或弧-大陆碰撞带。因此,这些绿岩带的构造形态可以为前寒武纪早期造山运动的地壳变形方式提供重要线索。位于新元古代东部的山东西部花岗-绿岩带(WSGB)被认为是胶辽块和前淮块的碰撞带。该带存在一系列具有走向滑动运动学特征的韧性剪切带,包括七星台、南流、延陵关、新泰、东陵-华村、蒙山、凤阳-梁丘、青衣和白岩。本文进行了详细的几何、运动学和变形地质年代研究,揭示了WSGB韧性剪切带的熔岩折线走向为NW280-350°,角度为60-80°。矿物延伸线向东北或西南缓缓倾斜 2-25°。运动学指标显示出正弦走向-滑动剪切感。变形温度可分为两个范围:变形温度分为550-600 ℃和400-500 ℃两个范围,表明WSGB中的韧性剪切带应经历早期高温和晚期低温变形。根据锆石 LA-ICP-MS U-Pb 和 40Ar-39Ar 测定,变形年龄为 2.58-2.47 Ga,这一年龄范围包括早期高温变形。通过平衡剖面和立体投影进行的结构复原表明,NW-NW-NW-NW走向的韧性剪切带的初始方向是向西南倾斜的,并且仍然以走向滑动运动学为特征。弧亲岩浆作用和沉积作用的同步运动表明,WSGB 的 NWW-NWW 走向韧性剪切带是由东南向板块辐合造成的,这也导致了不同区块沿韧性剪切带走向的 NW-SE 走向运动。WSGB代表了蛟龙块西南部活跃的大陆边缘,具有强烈的弧旁岩浆作用和弧后沉积作用、碰撞后地壳衍生的花岗岩、三挤剪切变形,也表明新元古代晚期南昌地区以现代式板块构造为主。

期刊介绍: Precambrian Research publishes studies on all aspects of the early stages of the composition, structure and evolution of the Earth and its planetary neighbours. With a focus on process-oriented and comparative studies, it covers, but is not restricted to, subjects such as: (1) Chemical, biological, biochemical and cosmochemical evolution; the origin of life; the evolution of the oceans and atmosphere; the early fossil record; palaeobiology; (2) Geochronology and isotope and elemental geochemistry; (3) Precambrian mineral deposits; (4) Geophysical aspects of the early Earth and Precambrian terrains; (5) Nature, formation and evolution of the Precambrian lithosphere and mantle including magmatic, depositional, metamorphic and tectonic processes. In addition, the editors particularly welcome integrated process-oriented studies that involve a combination of the above fields and comparative studies that demonstrate the effect of Precambrian evolution on Phanerozoic earth system processes. Regional and localised studies of Precambrian phenomena are considered appropriate only when the detail and quality allow illustration of a wider process, or when significant gaps in basic knowledge of a particular area can be filled.
