甘肃北山地区古硐井群地质特征与时代厘定

北山地区出露大量古硐井群,其地层时代主要依据区域地层对比和上覆、下伏地层中获得的Sm-Nd全岩等时线年龄确定,没有高精度的年龄数据。为了获得并限定古硐井群的时限,采用LA-ICP-MS和SHRIMP测试方法,对北山地区出露大量古硐井群石英岩中的碎屑锆石进行U-Pb同位素年龄测试,获得最年轻的碎屑锆石年龄为1213±24Ma,可以作为古硐井群的下限年龄(中元古代中晚期)。获得3110±6Ma、2786±7Ma等碎屑锆石年龄,暗示甘蒙北山微地块存在古老的地壳残留,表明古硐井群是北山地区的变质基底之一。连续的3个峰值年龄1750Ma、1580Ma和1470Ma,表明古硐井群石英岩的沉积物大部分来自经历过晋宁运动的源区。研究结果为完善北山地区的地层格架提供了有利依据。

Geological characteristics and age determination of the Palaeoproterozoic Gudongjing Group complex in the Beishan Mountain, Gansu Province

There are abundant outcrops of Gudongjing Group in Beishan region without paleontological fossil, therefore its strati-graphic age was previously determined by regional stratigraphic correlation and the Sm-Nd isochron age obtained from the overlying strata and underlying layer, resulting in no precise age for Gudongjing Group. In this study, the authors applied LA-ICP-MS and SHRIMP methods to determine isotopic age of detrital zircon in Gudongjing Group with the purpose of obtaining its age. The youngest age of detrital zircon is 1213±24Ma and it is considered to be the lower age limit. The detrital zircon age of 3110±6Ma and 2786±7Ma may indicate ancient remnants of the Earth''s crust in Beishan micro-block, and Gudongjing Group may be one of the metamorphosed basements in Beishan. Three continuous peak ages (1750Ma, 1580Ma and 1470Ma) show that the provenance of most quartzite in Gudongjing Group went through the Luliang movement. Therefore, the results of this study can serve as powerful evidence for completing the stratigraphic framework in Beishan.
