江南隆起带幕阜山岩体新生代剥蚀冷却的低温热年代学证据

江南隆起位于扬子与华夏地块的碰撞汇聚带,是研究华南大地构造演化的关键地质单元.本文采用磷灰石裂变径迹及(U-Th-Sm)/He年龄分布特征定性分析与径迹长度分布数据定量模拟相结合,主要研究了幕阜山岩体新生代的隆升与剥蚀过程,并在此基础上结合区域构造背景, 对其构造-热演化之间的关系进行了探讨.自晚白垩世持续隆升以来,幕阜山岩体经历的平均剥蚀厚度约4800 m.在不同岩体间,隆升过程及幅度存在差异,空间上具有非均匀性.热史结果显示幕阜山岩体经历了3期剥蚀, 其中两期快速剥蚀分别发生在晚白垩世-古近纪(80~50 Ma)和10 Ma以来,而这之间为一期缓慢剥蚀过程.研究区古近纪的快速剥蚀反映了中-下扬子喜山期大规模伸展断陷作用造成的肩部块体快速剥蚀事件; 约10 Ma以来的快速剥蚀是对太平洋板块向西运动的响应.幕阜山岩体自燕山晚期以来的隆升剥蚀作用具有良好的盆地沉积响应, 三期隆升剥蚀事件与研究区构造演化的动力学背景相吻合.

The exhumation process of Mufushan granite in Jiangnan uplift since Cenozoic:Evidence from low-temperature thermochronology

Jiangnan Uplift located in the collision zone between Yangtze and Cathaysia block is the key to interpret the tectonic evolution of South China block. The Cenozoic thermal history and the uplift processe of Mufushan pluton are constrained by the combination of analysis of apatite fission track and (U-Th-Sm)/He ages with modeling of fission track length distribution. Based on analysis of thermochronological dating, the authors probed into the relationship between the thermochronological evolution and the tectonic development combining with regional tectonic settings. The exhumation of plutons arrived at about 4800 m since 80 Ma, and the uplift processes were not uniform in space, and different plutons had somewhat different uplift processes. Thermal history modeling of the AFT data shows that the Mufushan pluton experienced three episodes of cooling event, two of which exhumed rapidly happened in Upper Cretaceous-Paleocene (about 80~50 Ma) and Upper Miocene (since 10 Ma). There is a period of relative thermal stability at 50~10 Ma and exit the PAZ. The first stage of rapid uplifting during 80~50 Ma in this region is coeval with extension episode of Mid-Lower Yangtze during Himalayan which resulted in the formation of fault basin and exhumation of shoulder block; the Upper Miocene rapid cooling since 10 Ma is attributed to the westward movement and subduction of Pacific plate. The uplift and exhumation of Mufushan pluton since Late Yanshanian led to a good deposition response in basins and the cooling events of three phases just coincided with the regional tectonic settings of study area.
