塔里木盆地东北缘库鲁克塔格地区新元古代构造-沉积演化

塔里木盆地库鲁克塔格地区保存了完整的新元古代南华纪—震旦纪地层,具有从早南华世火山岩-碎屑岩沉积,到晚南华世—早震旦世碎屑沉积,再到晚震旦世碎屑岩-碳酸盐岩沉积的演化过程。其中发育贝义西期、阿勒通沟期、特瑞艾肯期、汉格尔乔克期4期冰川沉积以及贝义西期、阿勒通沟期、扎摩克提期、水泉期4期火山作用。新元古代库鲁克塔格地区为大陆边缘裂谷,早南华世为强烈拉张断陷阶段,晚南华世—早震旦世为断陷向坳陷转变阶段,晚震旦世为稳定沉降阶段。以兴地断裂为界,南北两区具有不同的构造-沉积演化特征,早南华世南区为火山岩喷发中心,形成火山岩高地,北区为裂谷沉积中心,发育滨岸-陆棚沉积体系,整体具有南高北低的构造格局。晚南华世—早震旦世继承早南华世构造格局,南区以三角洲沉积为主,北区发育陆棚沉积体系。晚震旦世,南北两区沉积差异减弱,南区发育碳酸盐岩台地,北区为碎屑岩与碳酸盐岩混积陆棚。晚南华世—震旦纪南区结束火山活动,而北区发育多期次的火山岩。     

塔里木盆地晚震旦世—中寒武世构造沉积充填过程及油气勘探地位

南华纪初,受罗迪尼亚（Rodinia）超级大陆裂解的影响,塔里木陆块进入强伸展构造演化阶段,陆内发育了北东—南西向裂谷体系,裂谷区与两侧高隆带构成“两隆夹一坳”古构造格局。这一古构造格局持续控制了晚震旦世至中寒武世碳酸盐岩沉积序列的充填、演化及油气成藏组合,应将受前寒武纪裂谷构造—沉积演化控制的系列碳酸盐岩台地作为一个成因整体进行系统研究。结果表明:晚震旦世—中寒武世碳酸盐岩台地先后经历了5个重要演化阶段,即晚震旦世同裂谷充填期、震旦纪末抬升剥蚀阶段、早寒武世初海侵深水缓坡型富泥质碳酸盐岩台地阶段、浅水缓坡型碳酸盐岩台地阶段,以及中寒武世蒸发潟湖占主导镶边型碳酸盐岩台地阶段。控制了两套烃源岩、两套储层及一套区域盖层的发育,即形成于震旦纪裂陷槽内潜在烃源岩和早寒武世深水缓坡阶段玉尔吐斯组烃源岩、震旦纪末期受剥蚀淋滤形成的上震旦统微生物丘滩相白云岩储层和早寒武世受岩相和早期云化联合控制的肖尔布拉克组丘滩相白云岩储层,以及中寒武统蒸发潟湖相蒸发岩盖层,构成了上、下两套有效油气成藏组合。与已获得重大突破的四川盆地同期德阳—安岳克拉通内裂陷沉积演化序列及油气成藏组合类比表明,与之具有良好的相似性,且主力烃源岩品质、直接盖层的封盖性能更优于安岳特大型气藏,认为塔里木盆地这一构造—沉积单元具有重要的勘探前景与地位,上部成藏组合更具现实勘探价值。     

塔里木盆地奥陶纪层序岩相古地理

通过大量钻井取芯及露头沉积相观察、地震层序解释及地震相分析,结合蛇绿混杂岩带及板块构造演化等区域地质资料,首次编制了层序地层格架下的8张塔里木盆地奥陶纪岩相古地理图,发现了塔里木板块内部存在5个孤立碳酸盐台地（塔北台地、巴楚—塔中台地、罗西台地、塘南台地及库鲁克塔格台地）及其“台—盆”相间的古地理格局,对塔里木盆地海相油气勘探具有重要指导意义。最初发生于早震旦世及早寒武世的塔里木板块北缘大陆裂谷运动及震旦纪—中奥陶世的张裂构造环境控制了塔里木板块内部多个孤立碳酸盐台地及其间深水沉积区的形成,而晚奥陶世发生于板块南缘的阿尔金岛弧及库地岛弧与塔里木板块的碰撞挤压运动及其产生的大量陆源碎屑物源,则导致了板块内部多个孤立碳酸盐台地的逐步消亡及板块南部浊流盆地群的形成。     

塔里木地区早古生代海平面波动特征:来自地球化学及岩溶的证据

下古生界是塔里木盆地内最有潜力找到大油气田的层位。通过盆地内48口钻至下古生界钻井的沉积层序与沉积相分析、9800km地震剖面的地震相分析、大量Sr、C同位素及微量元素分析,并结合相关资料,开展了寒武纪—奥陶纪的以世或期为单位的岩相古地理研究,定性探讨海平面变迁。在此基础上,运用沉积地球化学定量探讨海平面的波动。分析表明,早古生代塔里木地区经历了两次大规模的海侵与海退过程,寒武纪和奥陶纪各经历了一次。每个海侵与海退过程内各包含了两个较高频的海平面升降旋回,即早寒武世早期海侵—早寒武世中期至中寒武世晚期海退、中寒武世末期海侵—晚寒武世晚期海退、早奥陶世早期至中奥陶世中期海侵—中奥陶世晚期海退、晚奥陶世早期海侵—晚奥陶世中至晚期海退。在上述2次大规模的海侵与海退以及4个较高频的海平面升降旋回中,两次大的海侵分别发育于早寒武世早期以及晚奥陶世早中期,三次较大的海退出现于中寒武世晚期、晚寒武世末期、晚奥陶世早期。岩溶在地层格架中的发育支持了上述结论。     

塔里木盆地巴麦地区寒武—奥陶纪碳酸盐岩台地演化

通过对塔里木盆地巴麦地区寒武—奥陶系地震、沉积特征研究,运用地震、钻井岩心资料,对该区层 序特征分析,巴麦地区经历了由碳酸盐岩缓坡型台地向镶边斜坡型台地演化,主要控制因素是构造活动和海平面变化早— 中寒武世为缓坡型台地演化阶段,由于海平面频繁升降变化,台地边缘经历3次迁移;晚寒武世该区处于拉张环境形 成被动大陆边缘,海平面开始上升,发育镶边斜坡型台地,海平面相对上升速率小于沉积物供应速率,台地边缘向 盆地方向迁移;早奥陶世,海平面上升速率加快,大于沉积速率,台地以追补型叠加形式向台地方向迁移.

库鲁克塔格地区寒武系层序地层与发育模式

新疆塔里木盆地库鲁克塔格断隆区出露的寒武系由一系列半深海-浅海沉积物构成.发育磷酸岩、硅质岩、火山岩、石膏、瘤状灰岩、风暴碳酸盐岩、鲕状灰岩、浊流碳酸盐岩等特殊类型.寒武系可划分为11个三级层序、3个二级层序和2个一级层序,反映出三级不同规模的海平面变化.三级海平面变化控制的层序具有6种发育模式,与特殊的环境和变化相联.二级层序是盆地发育不同构造阶段的产物,盆地发育包括早寒武世裂陷阶段、中寒武世断坳过渡阶段和晚寒武世坳陷阶段,分别控制了二级层序A、B和C的发育和构成.本区寒武纪分别在早寒武世和晚寒武世发生最大海泛,其中晚寒武世的海泛与全球海泛一致,但早寒武世的最大海泛是地方性的.     

新疆库鲁克塔格新元古代火山岩地质-地球化学特征及构造意义

库鲁克塔格地区新元古代火山岩十分发育,从早南华世到晚震旦世均有分布.火山岩从老到新可分为贝义西、扎摩克提、水泉3个喷发期,对各期火山岩主量、微量元素及稀土元素地球化学研究表明,各喷发期火山岩均形成于大陆裂谷环境.本区火山岩的形成,是塔里木运动的重要佐证,是Rodinia超大陆裂解事件的岩石记录,揭示了本区Rodinia超大陆裂解始于早南华世.     

华北克拉通南部熊耳盆地晚前寒武纪年代地层格架和演化

熊耳盆地发育华北克拉通最齐全的晚前寒武纪地层,是认识华北克拉通晚前寒武纪沉积和构造演化历史的理想地区.依据收集和自测的38个碎屑岩和23个岩浆岩样品的锆石年代学数据,结合岩相区域对比、沉积古地理格局继承关系等,细化年代地层格架和分析盆地构造属性,重塑熊耳盆地晚前寒武纪构造演化历史及沉积古地理格局.重新厘定的晚前寒武纪年代地层格架将熊耳盆地演化划分为六个阶段:早长城世裂陷、晚长城世断陷、蓟县纪坳陷、待建纪早期坳陷、青白口纪坳陷及晚震旦世冰期坳陷,以及早长城世末期、待建纪中晚期和南华纪—早震旦世三期重要的沉积间断.熊耳盆地存在晚长城世和青白口纪两期碰撞型—伸展型的盆地属性转换,支持北秦岭地体与华北克拉通多期拼贴—裂解的演化模式.中元古代早长城世—待建纪早期的火山-沉积岩系及1.64～1.47 Ga非造山岩浆事件是Columbia超大陆裂解的地质响应,青白口纪早期碰撞型沉积岩系和晚期伸展型火山-沉积岩系分别是Rodinia超大陆汇聚和裂解的地质响应.     

塔里木盆地东北缘库鲁克塔格地区寒武纪-奥陶纪沉积特征及演化

库鲁克塔格地区保存了相对完整的寒武纪-奥陶纪沉积地层,其沉积特征及演化规律的研究,对塔东地区寒武系-奥陶系油气勘探具有重要意义。通过库鲁克塔格地区详细的野外地质调查,结合前人相关研究成果,对该区寒武系-奥陶系沉积体系、沉积模式及演化规律的研究表明,寒武纪时期,库鲁克塔格地区经历了一次大的海侵-海退旋回,南、北两区沉积具有相似性。寒武纪早期的快速海侵导致南、北两区均发育陆棚相-深水盆地相沉积;寒武纪晚期,在逐渐海退的背景下,南、北两区开始出现沉积分异。奥陶纪,经历了新一轮大的海侵-海退旋回,南北两区沉积差异显著。北区从早奥陶世到晚奥陶世,发育台地边缘斜坡相-广海陆棚相-缓斜坡相-台地边缘礁滩相-开阔台地相相序,构成整体向上变浅的碳酸盐岩沉积层序;而南区发育深水盆地相-陆棚斜坡相-浊流盆地相-碎屑陆棚相相序,形成一套巨厚的深水复理石建造。库鲁克塔格地区寒武纪时期发育缓坡型碳酸盐岩台地,因台地不断向南构筑以及断裂活动,导致奥陶纪晚期台地边缘快速变陡,并在经历斜坡相快速堆积填平补齐之后,重新演变为缓坡型碳酸盐岩台地。晚奥陶世,由于周缘构造活动影响,却尔却克山-雅尔当山一带下沉,逐渐向远端变陡缓坡型碳酸盐岩台地演化。     

加里东运动构造古地理及滇黔桂盆地的形成--兼论滇黔桂盆地深层油气勘探潜力

中国南方的滇黔桂地区,早古生代与晚古生代之交曾经发生过较为强烈的加里东运动,包括三个幕:寒武纪末期的郁南运动,中、奥陶世末期的都匀运动以及志留纪末期的广西运动;奥陶系与志留系的残留不全和晚奥陶世至志留纪大片古陆———滇黔桂古陆的展布是加里东运动的重要体现。志留纪末期的广西运动之后,在大致相当于早古生代“滇黔桂古陆”分布的地区形成一个特殊的“滇黔桂盆地”,而且在滇黔桂盆地的主体部位常常是泥盆系直接覆盖在寒武系之上。寒武系,特别是下寒武统,由于寒武纪初期的快速海侵作用而在研究区域普遍发育烃源岩系;研究区域的泥盆系,特别是中泥盆统,在台间盆地中发育优质烃源岩。因此,巨大的构造古地理演变和海陆变迁,形成了一个晚古生代的泥盆系优质烃源岩与早古生代的下寒武统优质烃源岩的空间叠合区域,该叠合区域的加里东运动不整合面上、下的储集体即成为该地区的深层油气勘探对象,预示着滇黔桂盆地的深层存在较大的油气勘探潜力。     

塔里木盆地北部奥陶系油气相态及其成因分析

塔里木盆地北部地区奥陶系是最重要的勘探层系,油气资源丰富;同时油气相态复杂多样,既有凝析气藏、正常油藏,也有稠油油藏、沥青等。通过对油气藏形成演化与保存过程的系统分析,结合油气地球化学和流体包裹体等分析数据,发现油气相态的多样性与油气多期次充注与次生蚀变作用有关。提出塔北隆起的东部奥陶系存在三期油气充注过程,分别发生在加里东运动晚期-海西早期、海西运动晚期、喜马拉雅运动晚期,原油主要来源于中、上奥陶统烃源岩,天然气主要来自与寒武系烃源岩有关的液态烃的裂解;塔北隆起的中西部奥陶系的油气充注主要发生在海西运动晚期。塔北奥陶系油藏形成以后,经历了三期明显的调整改造过程:海西早期构造抬升导致志留-泥盆系遭受剥蚀,东部源自寒武系油气的古油藏遭受破坏,形成沥青;三叠系沉积前的晚海西运动,使得奥陶系生源的油藏大范围遭受降解稠化;晚喜山期,来自于满加尔坳陷的天然气自东向西充注,致使隆起东部早期形成的油藏发生强烈的气侵改造,形成次生凝析气藏。而中西部奥陶系油藏在三叠系沉积前遭受降解稠化后,一直处于沉降深埋过程,油藏得到有效保存;由于成藏时间较早,轻质组分散失较多,气油比极低,油质较稠。研究认为,油气相态的多样性主要受晚海西期构造运动的抬升造成的生物降解作用和喜马拉雅晚期构造运动造成的天然气自东向西大规模充注对油藏进行气洗改造两大过程的控制。     

塔里木陆块新元古代—早古生代古板块再造及漂移轨迹

塔里木陆块周缘的新元古界地层记录了涉及Rodinia聚合和裂解的构造热事件,但塔里木在Rodinia超大陆中的位置以及在Rodinia裂解后如何运动尚无定论.采用收集的古地磁数据,并结合塔里木西北缘阿克苏地区的野外工作以及塔里木周缘代表性岩石如A型花岗岩、基性岩墙群、大陆溢流玄武岩和双峰式火山岩等的同位素年代学数据,将塔里木陆块从Rodinia超大陆中裂解的时间限制在830～ 700 Ma BP.之后,塔里木陆块随澳洲板块一起加入冈瓦纳大陆.约在450Ma BP,塔里木陆块和澳洲板块发生分离,并快速北漂,最终在晚古生代加入劳亚大陆.新元古代—早古生代,塔里木陆块整体上从北半球较高纬度向南半球漂移,并在奥陶纪向北半球快速回返.     

Tectonic evolution of Early Paleozoic island-arc systems and continental crust formation in the Caledonides of Kazakhstan and the North Tien Shan

The extended Saryarka and Shyngyz-North Tien Shan volcanic belts that underwent secondary deformation are traced in the Caledonides of Kazakhstan and the North Tien Shan. These belts are composed of igneous rocks pertaining to Early Paleozoic island-arc systems of various types and the conjugated basins with oceanic crust. The Saryarka volcanic belt has a complex fold-nappe structure formed in the middle Arenigian-middle Llanvirnian as a result of the tectonic juxtaposition of Early-Middle Cambrian and Late Cambrian-Early Ordovician complexes of ensimatic island arcs and basins with oceanic crust. The Shyngyz-North Tien Shan volcanic belt is characterized by a rather simple fold structure and consists of Middle-Late Ordovician volcanic and plutonic associations of ensialic island arcs developing on heterogeneous basement, which is composed of complexes belonging to the Saryarka belt and Precambrian sialic massifs. The structure and isotopic composition of the Paleozoic igneous complexes provide evidence for the heterogeneous structure of the continental crust in various segments of the Kazakh Caledonides. The upper crust of the Shyngyz segment consists of Early Paleozoic island-arc complexes and basins with oceanic crust related to the Saryarka and Shyngyz-North Tien Shan volcanic belts in combination with Middle and Late Paleozoic continental igneous rocks. The deep crustal units of this segment are dominated by mafic rocks of Early Paleozoic suprasubduction complexes. The upper continental crust of the Stepnyak segment is composed of Middle-Late Ordovician island-arc complexes of the Shyngyz-North Tien Shan volcanic belt and Early Ordovician rift-related volcanics. The middle crustal units are composed of Riphean, Paleoproterozoic, and probably Archean sialic rocks, whereas the lower crustal units are composed of Neoproterozoic mafic rocks.     

塔里木盆地早古生代构造古地理演化与烃源岩

塔里木陆块为一具前寒武系基底的克拉通盆地,早震旦世—寒武纪陆块内和边缘发生裂解,至中奥陶世转为被动大陆边缘,组建塔北和塔中两个遥相对应的碳酸盐台地和边缘斜坡,其间的阿瓦提—满加尔地区为克拉通内浅海—深水盆。满参1井以东至满加尔为欠补偿的深海槽盆,早期沉积了富生物营养链的烃源岩,晚奥陶世克拉通转为前陆碎屑岩沉积,满加尔坳陷反转为浊流盆地。碎屑岩由东向西、由南东向北西迁移,造成向塔北和塔中海侵上超,结束碳酸盐台地演化的同时,沉积了局限台地型和台缘斜坡灰泥丘相的烃源岩。奥陶纪时塔里木盆地演化和沉积相的配置,是加里东期盆山转换的重要反响,形成多个沉积-构造转换面。早加里东运动,造成下早奥陶统与寒武系的假整合;中加里东运动即晚奥陶世始,塔里木转为前陆盆地,塔北和塔中分别为前陆隆起,阿瓦提—满加尔为复合隆间盆地;晚加里东运动(始于早志留世)发生了大规模的海退。     

Affinity between Palaeozoic Blocks of Xinjiang and Their Suturing Ages

The Kazakhstanian plate was near the Tarim, Sino-Korean and South China-Southeast Asian plates in the Middle-Late Cambrian and Late Ordovician, and approached the Siberian plate in the other periods of the Early Palaeozoic. The Hi and Toksun-Yamansu terranes had been split from the Tarim plate before the Middle Devonian and then went close to Angaraland in the late Early Permian. The Beishan area on the northeastern margin of the Tarim plate came close to Angaraland first in the early Early Permian. The suturing age between the Tarim and Ka-zakhstanian-Siberian plates is generally the same as that between the Turkey-Central Iran-Gangdise and South China-Southeast Asian plates. The suturing event took place in the early Early Permian, while the corresponding tectogeny occurred between the Early and Late Permian.     

塔里木盆地东南缘(阿尔金山)"变质基底"记录的多期构造热事件:锆石U-Pb年代学的制约

塔里木盆地东南缘的阿尔金山被认为是塔里木克拉通变质基底的主要出露地区之一。 本文通过阿尔金山北坡不整合在太古代-古元古代变质基底之上的安南坝群中的碎屑岩和中南阿尔金中深变质岩石(原定为阿尔金岩群)的锆石U-Pb年代学研究,来确定塔里木盆地东南缘变质基底的性质及所经历的多期构造热历史。研究结果显示,塔里木盆地东南缘的安南坝群中含砾砂岩的碎屑锆石年龄集中在1.92Ga左右,少量在2.0~2.4Ga,表明其碎屑物质主要来源于下伏的太古代-早元古代米兰岩群和相关的深成侵入体。在中阿尔金地块和南阿尔金俯冲碰撞杂岩带的深变质岩石中,锆石U-Pb年代学数据表明其记录有新元古代早期(920~940Ma)、新元古代晚期(760Ma左右)和早古生代(450~500Ma)三期构造热事件,新元古代早期的构造热事件与塔里木(或晋宁)造山作用有关,它普遍存在于塔里木盆地周缘的和南中国地块(扬子克拉通)的变质基底岩石中,与Rodinia超级大陆汇聚相关;新元古代晚期的构造热事件也同样广泛存在于塔里木盆地周缘和扬子克拉通之中,被认为与Rodinia超大陆的裂解作用有关。因此,在新元古代时期,阿尔金的地质演化历史与扬子克拉通非常相似,而与华北则有很大的不同,锆石U-Pb测定还表明中南阿尔金的深变质岩石普遍遭受了早古生代的变质作用的改造,显示它们普遍卷入了早古生代的碰撞造山事件之中,成为早古生代碰撞造山带的组成部分。     

塔里木盆地塔中隆起构造演化与油气关系

笔者结合塔里木盆地形成的构造背景对塔中隆起的主要构造演化过程进行了研究，并具体分析了各构造演化阶段与志留系油气的关系。研究表明，塔中隆起源于早古生代拉张背景下的正断层，寒武-奥陶纪为其烃源岩形成的重要时期；早奥陶世末-晚奥陶世末的构造反转是塔中隆起的主要形成期，同时也为志留系的形成及复合圈闭提供了古地理背景；泥盆纪末塔中鼻状隆起基本定型，古油藏遭受破坏，形成了沥青砂岩；早二叠世晚期的构造变形使古油藏遭受进一步的破坏；二叠纪后构造变动主要以调节为主。伴随整个构造的演化，志留系的油气聚集也是分期次、不同规模的进行。     

Accumulation and Reformation of Silurian Reservoir in the Northern Tarim Basin

Silurian sandstone in Tarim Basin has good reservoir properties and active oil and gas shows, especially thick widely-distributed bituminous sandstone. Currently, the Silurian was found containing both bitumen and conventional reservoirs, with petroleum originating from terrestrial and marine source rocks. The diversity of their distribution was the result of "three sources, three stages" accumulation and adjustment processes. "Three sources" refers to two sets of marine rocks in Cambrian and Middle-Upper Ordovician, and a set of terrestrial rock formed in Triassic in the Kuqa depression. "Three stages" represents three stages of accumulation, adjustment and reformation occurring in Late Caledonian, Late Hercynian and Late Himalayan, respectively. The study suggests that the Silurian bitumen is remnants of oil generated from Cambrian and Ordovician source rocks and accumulated in the sandstone reservoir during Late Caledonian-Early Hercynian and Late Hercynian stages, and then damaged by the subsequent two stages of tectonic uplift movements in Early Hercynian and Pre-Triassic. The authors presumed that the primary paleo-reservoirs formed during these two stages might be preserved in the Silurian in the southern deep part of the Tabei area. Except for the Yingmaili area where the Triassic terrestrial oil was from the Kuqa Depression during Late Himalayan Stage, all movable oil reservoirs originated from marine sources. They were secondary accumulations from underlying Ordovician after structure reverse during the Yanshan-Himalayan stage. Oil/gas shows mixed-source characteristics, and was mainly from Middle-Upper Ordovician. The complexity and diversity of the Silurian marine primary properties were just defined by these three stages of oil-gas charging and tectonic movements in the Tabei area.     

Geochronology and geochemistry of early Paleozoic granitic and coeval mafic rocks from the Tannuola terrane (Tuva,Russia): Implications for transition from a subduction to post-collisional setting in the northern part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

Early Paleozoic magmatism of the Tannuola terrane located in the northern Central Asian Orogenic Belt is important to understanding the transition from subduction to post-collision settings. In this study, we report in situ zircon U-Pb ages, whole rock geochemistry, and Sr-Nd isotopic data from the mafic and granitic rocks of the eastern Tannuola terrane to better characterize their petrogenesis and to investigate changing of the tectonic setting and geodynamic evolution. Zircon U-Pb ages reveal three magmatic episodes for about 60 Ma from ∼510 to ∼450 Ma, that can be divided into the late Cambrian (∼510–490 Ma), the Early Ordovician (∼480–470 Ma) and the Middle-Late Ordovician (∼460–450 Ma) stages. The late Cambrian episode emplaced the mafic, intermediate and granitic rocks with volcanic arc affinity. The late Cambrian mafic rocks of the Tannuola terrane may originate from melting of mantle source that contain asthenosphere and subarc enriched mantle metasomatized by melts derived from sinking oceanic slab. Geochemical and isotopic compositions indicate the late Cambrian intermediate-granitic rocks are most consistent with an origin from a mixed source including fractionation of mantle-derived magmas and crustal-derived components. The Early Ordovician episode reveal bimodal intrusions containing mafic rocks and adakite-like granitic rocks implying the transition from a thinner to a thicker lower crust. The Early Ordovician mafic rocks are formed as a result of high degree melting of mantle source including dominantly depleted mantle and subordinate mantle metasomatized by fluid components while coeval granitic rocks were derived from partial melting of the high Sr/Y mafic rocks. The latest Middle-Late Ordovician magmatic episode emplaced high-K calc-alkaline ferroan granitic rocks that were formed through the partial melting the juvenile Neoproterozoic sources.These three episodes of magmatism identified in the eastern Tannuola terrane are interpreted as reflecting the transition from subduction to post-collision settings during the early Paleozoic. The emplacement of voluminous magmatic rocks was induced by several stages of asthenospheric upwelling in various geodynamic settings. The late Cambrian episode of magmatism was triggered by the slab break-off while subsequent Early Ordovician episode followed the switch to a collisional setting with thickening of the lower crust and the intrusion of mantle-induced bimodal magmatism. During the post-collisional stage, the large-scale lithospheric delamination provides the magma generation for the Middle-Late Ordovician granitic rocks.
