上扬子西南部晚三叠世古隆起演化及其构造意义

在大量野外地质调查和资料分析的基础上,通过不同剖面的沉积特征和地层对比分析,识别出上扬子西南部存在晚三叠世古隆起;并结合区域构造背景,探讨了古隆起的构造属性、演化和大地构造意义。研究结果表明,上扬子西南部普遍缺失上三叠统,这一地层的缺失不是后期剥蚀造成的,而是由于上扬子西南部在晚三叠世存在一个与上扬子西南缘近平行的古隆起。该古隆起的发育与金沙江-哀牢山-马江-八布洋、甘孜-理塘洋的关闭及之后的碰撞造山作用密切相关。在早三叠世末,金沙江-哀牢山-马江-八布洋关闭,上扬子西南部南缘的右江和楚雄盆地成为前陆盆地,形成的前缘隆起共同组成了该古隆起;至晚三叠世诺利期,甘孜-理塘洋关闭,上扬子西南部西缘发育西昌前陆盆地,其前缘隆起与右江、楚雄前陆盆地的前缘隆起一起组成古隆起;至瑞替期末,由于右江前陆盆地停止发育,古隆起仅由楚雄和西昌前陆盆地的前缘隆起组成。这一古隆起的发现对研究四川盆地晚三叠世盆地原型和上扬子西南部构造演化具有重要意义。

Evolution of the Late Triassic Paleo-uplift in the Southwestern Upper Yangtze Region and its Tectonic Significance

Based on field geological survey and stratigraphic analysis, a Late Triassic Paleo-uplift is identified in the southwestern upper Yangtze region. The tectonic features, evolution history and tectonic significance of this paleo-uplift are discussed in detail in this paper. The results suggest that the hiatus of the Upper Triassic in the southwestern upper Yangtze region was resulted from the paleo-uplift that roughly parallel to the southwest margin of the upper Yangtze region. The formation of the paleo-uplift is related to the closure of the Jinshajiang?Ailaoshan?Songma?Babu and Ganzi?Litang Oceans and their subsequent collisional orogenesis along the southwest margin of the upper Yangtze region. The forebulges of the Youjiang and Chuxiong Foreland Basins were formed by the closure of the Jinshajiang?Ailaoshan?Songma?Babu Ocean, comprising the paleo-uplift at the end of the Early Triassic. Then the forebulge of the Xichang Foreland Basin was developed by the closure of the Ganzi?Litang Ocean in the Norian, and became a new part of the paleo-uplift. Owing to the termination of the Youjiang Foreland Basin at the end of the Rhaetian, the paleo-uplift was composed only of the forebulges of the Chuxiong and Xichang Foreland Basins. The discovery of the paleo-uplift will help us to better understand the prototype of the Sichuan Basin and the tectonic evolution of the southwestern upper Yangtze region during the Late Triassic.
