Abstract

The Neoproterozoic Jiangnan accretionary orogenic belt recorded the accretion and collision of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks to form a stablized South China Block, but related geometry and kinematics is poorly constrained, leading to largely varied tectonic models. Here, we present detailed field investigation and kinematic analysis of the plutonic-metamorphic complexes in the Yuanbaoshan and Sanfang areas of the west Jiangnan orogenic belt, which enables identification of extensional granite-cored domes. In the dome margins, down-dipping lineations display a radial pattern and dome dominated foliations are extensively developed. The shearing structures within the plutonic-metamorphic complexes display extensional shearing surrounding the Yuanbaoshan and Sanfang granitic dome cores. Gneissic granites and massive ones from both the Yuanbaoshan and Sanfang plutons yield comparable crystallization ages of ca. 835–823 Ma that are within age errors of each other, as are the sheared recrystallized asymmetric quartz veins and mylonites dated at 831 Ma. Overall ages of the deformed Sibao Group and the undeformed overlying Danzhou Group, along with those of the granite plutons and mylonites, suggest formation of the granite-cored domes at ca. 835–823 Ma, coeval to the timing of emplacement of the granitic plutons. Locally, top-to-the-E thrusting structures are also observed in the west Yuanbaoshan and Sanfang areas and are inferred as at ca. 860–835 Ma, coinciding well with E- or SE- directed structures developed elsewhere in the Jiangnan orogenic belt, but in contrast with doming extensional shearing structures. Therefore, overall geometry and kinematics in the west Jiangnan belt indicate development of granitic dome related extensional ductile shearing deformation dated at ca. 835–823 Ma and a possible top-to-the-E compressional ductile thrusting deformation within 860–835 Ma. Given the previously inferred regional geology observations, along with age and chemical data across the Jiangnan orogenic belt, the dominant extensional shearing deformation in the region argue for a slab roll-back event within an accretionary belt, typical of domes-and-basins structures formed in accretionary convergent continental margin. The top-to-the-E thrusting is here interpreted as corresponding to compressional regime generated by the west directed subduction of oceanic crust beneath the northern Guangxi continental margin arc in the west Jiangnan orogenic belt.

江南造山带西部约835-823年Ma穹隆伸展构造:一次板块回滚事件的意义
新元古代江南吸积造山带记录了扬子地块和华夏地块的吸积碰撞,形成了一个稳定的华南地块,但相关的几何和运动学约束较差,导致构造模式差异很大。本文对江南造山带西部元宝山和三房地区的深部变质杂岩体进行了详细的野外调查和运动学分析,从而识别出了伸展花岗岩芯穹窿。在穹窿边缘,下倾纹线呈放射状,穹窿主导型叶理广泛发育。深变质杂岩体内的剪切构造围绕元宝山和三房花岗质穹隆岩心表现出伸展剪切作用。元宝山和三房岩体的片麻岩花岗岩和块状花岗岩的结晶年龄在835-823 Ma之间,两者的年龄误差都在各自的年龄误差范围内,剪切重结晶的不对称石英脉和花岗岩的结晶年龄在831 Ma之间。变形的四堡群和未变形的上覆丹州群的总体年龄,以及花岗岩岩体和糜棱岩的年龄,表明花岗岩核穹窿的形成时间约为835 ~ 823 Ma,与花岗岩岩体的侵位时间一致。元宝山西部和三房地区局部也有由上至东的逆冲构造,推测时间约860 ~ 835 Ma,与江南造山带其他地区发育的东向或东南向构造吻合较好,但与穹状伸展剪切构造相反。因此,从整体几何和运动学角度看,江南带西部约835 ~ 823 Ma发育与花岗岩丘相关的伸展韧性剪切变形,860 ~ 835 Ma可能发育自顶至东的挤压韧性逆冲变形。根据先前推断的区域地质观测,以及江南造山带的年龄和化学数据,该地区主要的伸展剪切变形表明,在增生带内发生了板块回滚事件,这是典型的在增生收敛大陆边缘形成的家盆构造。从上至东的逆冲作用解释为在江南造山带西部广西北部大陆边缘弧下洋壳向西俯冲所产生的挤压作用。
