Повний текст джерелаThe Nashoba terrane of SE New England is one of three peri-Gondwanan tectonic blocks caught between Laurentia and Gondwana during the closure of the Iapetus Ocean in the early to mid- Paleozoic. U-Pb analyses (LA-ICP-MS) were carried out on zircon suites from the meta-sedimentary rocks of the Nashoba terrane. The youngest detrital zircons in the meta-sedimentary rocks of the Nashoba terrane are Ordovician in age. There is no significant difference in age between meta-sedimentary units of the Nashoba terrane across the Assabet River Fault Zone, a major fault zone that bisects the NT in a SE and a NW par. Zircon in meta-sedimentary rocks in the Marlboro Fm., the oldest unit of the Nashoba terrane, is rare, which may reflect the basaltic nature of the source material, and is commonly metamict. The Marlboro Fm. contained the oldest detrital grain of all the analyzed samples, with a core of ~3.3 Ga and rim of ~2.6 Ga indicating that it was sourced from Archaen crustal material. Detrital zircons from the Nashoba terrane show a complete age record between the Paleoproterozoic and Paleozoic that strongly supports a provenance from the Oaxiqua margin of Amazonia. The detrital zircon suite of the Nashoba terrane is distinct from both Avalonia and the Merrimack belt; however, they resemble zircon suites from Ganderia. This study proposes that the Nashoba terrane of Massachusetts correlates with the passive trailing edge of Ganderia. Finally, metamorphic zircon analyses of the terrane show that the Nashoba terrane experienced a peak in hydrothermal fluid infiltration during the Neoacadian orogeny

Повний текст джерелаThe Carrancas Nappe System composes a system of nappes that surround the southern margin of the São Francisco Craton and is formed by the Biotite Schist Unit and by the Campestre and São Tomé das Letras formations of the CarrancasGroup. The Biotite Schist Unit encompass quartz veins and anastomosed schistosity and is formed by quartz, biotite, muscovite, chlorite and, locally plagioclase, carbonate and garnet. The Campestre Formation is composed by interleaved quartzites and phyllite/schist that varies from graphite-chloritoid phyllites, with muscovite, quartz, tourmaline and garnet, and locally garnet schists and schists with garnet, staurolite and kyanite. The investigation of the Biotite Schist Unit as authochtonous in relation to the São Francisco Craton, it´s potencial grouping with the Carrancas Group in a deposicional megassequence, as well as it´s comparison with the allochthonous Santo Antônio Schist (Andrelândia Nappe) is part of the goals of this study. For this purpose, chemical and isotopic (Sr and Nd) whole rock analysis were obtained, along with U-Pb detrital zircon data, in the Biotite Schist Unit and also in the Campestre Formation, in order to elucidate the relationship between these units and compare them with literature data available for theSanto Antônio Schist. The Biotite Schist Unit show chemical characteristics compatible with sediments that underwent chemical weathering of moderate intensityand time, deposited in continental collision setting, with source region composed essentially by felsic rocks. Trace elements and Sr isotopic signatures ( \'ANTPOT.87 Sr\'/\'ANTPOT. 86 Sr\' between 0,713 and 0,715) and Nd (\'\'épsilon IND.Nd\' between -6 and -5) points to contribution from magmatic arc and continental crust, and are different from the expected for passive margin settings. The same contribution is observed in the Santo Antônio Schist, which source area registers an important juvenile material signature. The U-Pb LA-MC-ICP MS zircon data show major contribution from rocks of the later Cryogenian and minor contribution from the Ryacian. The modal class around 655 Ma is comparable with the U-Pb detrital zircon data from the Santo Antônio Schist, pointing to the same source area for both units. The deposition of the precursors sediment of the Biotite Schist Unit occurred between 630 - 611 Ma, and the main sources were the calk-alcaline granulites and co-genetic volcanic rocks, besides the Socorro-Guaxupé Nappe sin-collisional granites. The low representation of Paleoproterozoic ages and the absence of passive margin chemical signatures preclude the rocks of the São Francisco Craton as part of the source area. Thus, Biotite Schist Unit is not an autochthonous unit in relation to the São Francisco Craton, and is, potentially, the unit that composes the Andrelândia Nappe front. On the other hand, the Campestre Formation has geochemical signatures of sediments that underwent intense recycling and alteration of the original sediment. The trace element and Sr and Nd isotopic signatures indicates upper continental crust contribution, with older crust component and no affinity with passive margin sediments ( \'ANTPOT.87 Sr\'/\'ANTPOT. 86 Sr\' between 0,74 and 0,76; \'épsilon\' IND.Nd\' between -18 and -15). The U-Pb LA-MC-ICP MS detrital zircon data provide varied ages, from the Tonian to the Mesoarchean, correlated withvolcanic and plutonic rocks of the São Francisco Craton, with the marginal belts of the Angola Craton, and/or orogenic belts of the Amazonian Craton and with the Mara Rosa and Goiás magmatic arcs. The range of the U-Pb ages of the Campestre Formation and the Chapada dosPilões and Paracatu formations, allows the correlation, in the Brasília Orogen, of the Campestre and Canastra groups. The most likely paleogeography is that of a rift setting, before the continental drift and the establishment of a passive continental margin.

Повний текст джерелаU–Pb dating of detrital zircons from the Aileu Complex by LA-ICPMS show major age modes at 270–440 Ma, 860–1240 Ma and 1460–1870 Ma. The youngest zircon populations indicate a maximum depositional age of 270 Ma. The detrital zircon age populations and evidence for juvenile sediments within the sequence favours a synorogenic setting of deposition of sediments sourced from an East Malaya – Indochina terrane.
Previous uncertainty in aspects of the cooling history for the Aileu Complex is resolved with 39Ar/40Ar geochronology of hornblende. Cooling ages of 6–10 Ma are established, with the highest metamorphic grade parts of the Complex yielding the older ages. Cooling ages of 10 Ma imply that metamorphism of the Aileu Complex must have commenced by at least ~12 Ma. Metamorphism at this time is attributed to an arc setting rather than the direct result of collision of the Australian continent with the Banda Arc, an interpretation consistent with the new provenance data.
Geological mapping of Ataúro, an island in the volcanic Banda Arc north of Timor, reveals a volcanic history of bi-modal subaqueous volcanism. 39Ar/40Ar geochronology of hornblende from dacitic lavas confirms that volcanism ceased by ~3 Ma. Following the cessation of volcanism, coral reef marine terraces have been uplifted to elevations of 700 m above sea level. Continuity of the terraces at constant elevations around the island reflects regional-scale uplift most likely linked to sublithospheric processes such as slab detachment.
North of Timor, the near complete absence of intermediate depth seismicity beneath the inactive segment of the arc is attributed to a slab window that has opened in the collision zone and extends to 350 km below the surface. Differences in seismic moment release around this slab window indicate asymmetric rupture, propagating to the east at a much faster rate than to the west. If the lower boundary of this seismic gap signifies the original slab rupture then the slab window represents ~4 m.y. of subsequent subduction and implies that collision preceded the end of volcanism by at least 1 m.y.
Variations in seismic moment release and stress state across the transition from subduction of oceanic crust to arc–continent collision in the Banda Arc are investigated using earthquake catalogues. It is shown that the slab under the western Savu Sea is unusual in that intermediate depth (70–300 km) events indicate that the slab is largely in down-dip compression at this depth range, beneath a region of the arc that has the closest spacing of volcanoes in the Sunda–Banda arc system. This unusual state of stress is attributed to subduction of a northern extension of the Scott Plateau. Present day deformation in the Savu Sea region may be analogous with the earliest stages of collision north of Timor.

Повний текст джерелаU-Pb, Hf and O isotope data were obtained from detrital zircons from late Paleozoic-early Mesozoic units from Paraná Basin, southeastern Brazil, in order to constain the provenance of the sediments, as well as to contribute to the understanding of the tectonic evolution of the basin. Whole rock Sm-Nd and Pb-Pb isotopic signatures were also taken in order to help the interpretation. The studied section, White Column in Santa Catarina state, includes rocks from 11 stratigraphic units (from base to top): Rio do Sul Formation, Rio Bonito Formation (Triunfo, Paraguaçu and Siderópolis members), Palermo Formation, Irati Formation, Serra Alta Formation, Teresina Formation, and Rio do Rasto Formation (Serrinha and Morro Pelado members) and Botucatu Formation. U-Pb ages were obtained on 1941 detrital zircons and range from 242 Ma to 3400 Ma. All sedimentary units show four main detrital age groups, Neoarchean (2700-2500 Ma), mid-Paleoproterozoic (2000-1800 Ma), Grenvillian (1100-900 Ma) and Brasiliano (850-490 Ma), reflecting the importance of the Precambrian basement bordering the east side of the basin, such as Dom Feliciano, Kaoko and Namaque-Natal Belts as source areas, including the local basement that was dated at 584 Ma. The Siderópolis Member shows an important change in the source of sediments with a Permian age-peak (266 to 290 Ma). This age-peak persists towards the top of the section until the Botucatu Formation. O and Hf isotopic signatures from the detrital zircons show that a portion of the mid-Paleoproterozoic grains is probably from rocks of the presently covered basement, which was exposed until the deposition of the Rio Bonito Formation. O and Hf isotopes also show that some Grenvillian aged zircons are from Argentinian rocks, which implies a long transport distance. Isotopic signatures of part of the Permian grains also link them to sources from Argentina and Chile, and part of these grains has more rounded shapes, suggesting that they reached the basin after long distance traveling on subaquatic environment and nor only through the air (ash falls) as it is commonly accepted. Other younger age peaks (Ordovician to Carboniferous) found from Palermo Formation upsection are also linked to Argentinian and Chilean sources, showing the importance of distant sources during the filling of the basin. The Sm-Nd and Pb-Pb data on whole rocks show that the sediments from the Paraná Basin present predominance of sources with crustal origin. Osotopic signatures are similar to granitoid rocks from Santa Catarina, Ribeira Belt, Brazilian Shield, Namaqua-Natal and Kaoko Belts, as well as the Arequipa-Antofalla terranes (Andes basement) and granitoids from North Patagonia. These data corroborate the observed detrital zircon patterns thar point to both proximal and distal source areas. \'T IND.DM\' model ages older than 1.4 Ga and more negative (-10 to -15) epsilon values were observed in the lower units (Rio do Sul Formation to Paraguaçu Member), while the upper units show \'\'épsilos\' IND.Nd(0)\' values ranging from -6 to -12 and \'T IND. DM\' model ages younger than 1.5 Ga, corroborating the addition of a younger source starting from the Siderópolis Member deposition upwards, as noted by detrital zircon data (Permian age-peak).

Повний текст джерелаThe Amadeus Basin is a Late Proterozoic to early Phanerozoic basin in central Australia, which records a complex sedimentation and thermal history throughout the basin. This study presents new analysis of zircon and apatite samples for detrital provenance and thermal evolution, focused in the southern Amadeus Basin (KULGERA). While the thermal history and provenance are well constrained for the north, such data for the southern region of the basin are lacking. Nineteen outcrop samples are analysed for detrital zircon U-Pb and provenance and one BR05DD01 drill-core sample is analysed for the AUPb and AFT ages. All sampled zircons share a similar prominent peak at ca. 1086 – 1163 Ma and a second prominent peak at ca. 1554 – 1791 Ma. However, all formations do not share a similar provenance due to the major tectonic events from the Musgrave Province and Arunta Region influencing sedimentation and architecture in the Amadeus Basin. Two age peaks derived in the AFT plot at114 +/- 11 Ma and 223 +/- 13 Ma suggest an extensive thermal history in the apatite partial annealing zone. Due to the insufficient number of analysed apatite grains, this hinders the identification of age populations and more detailed age calculations. More data would be required for the apatite analysis in order to conclude a specified age population and age calculation.

Повний текст джерелаDespite the prolific hydrocarbon and geothermal potential within the Cooper-Eromanga Basin, the thermal history of the region has largely remained elusive. This study presents new fission track, U-Pb and rare earth geochemical data for apatite samples from five wells within the Cooper-Eromanga Basin. Based on these data, thermal history models were constructed and an apatite provenance study was carried out. The apatite samples taken from the upper Eromanga Basin sediments (Winton, Mackunda and Cadna Owie Formations) yielded a dominant population of early Cretaceous and minor population of late Permian – Triassic apatite ages that are (within error) equivalent to corresponding fission track age populations. Furthermore, the obtained Cretaceous apatite ages correlate well with the stratigraphic ages for each analysed formation, suggesting (1) little time lag between apatite exposure in the source region and sediment deposition; and (2) that no significant (>~100oC) reheating occurred after deposition. The apatites were likely distally sourced from an eastern Australian volcanic arc, (e.g. the Whitsunday Igneous Association), mixed with sediment sources from the New England and/or Mossman Orogens. Deeper samples (>2000m) from within the Cooper Basin (Toolachee Formation) yielded (partial) reset fission track ages, indicating heating to temperatures exceeding ~80-100oC after deposition. The associated thermal history models are broadly consistent with previous studies and suggest that maximum temperatures were reached at ~95-70 Ma as a result of progressive heating by sedimentary burial and/or radiogenic basement heat loss. The interpretation of subsequent late Cretaceous – Palaeogene cooling remains more enigmatic and may be related with enhanced thermal conductivity as a response to aquifer flow and/or cementation. Four of the five wells recorded a Neogene heating event: however, more data would be required to assess the significance of this more recent thermal perturbation.

High sedimentation rates (50-500cm/kyr) in the South Okinawa Trough (SOT) provide high resolution records for reconstructing millennial or centennial paleo-environment changes. This research analyzes the grain size distribution , clay mineral assemblage and major elements of the IMAGE Core MD012403 retrieved from the Southern Okinawa Trough. The medians of grain size in MD012403 varied from 7.3 Φ to 7.8 Φ during 32.6 ka-20 ka and showed a coarsening trend during 21 ka-10.1 ka. After 10.1 ka, the grain sizes increased to 6.6-7.1 Φ were more stable in association with poor sorting. High content of sortable silt also occurred at this period, indicating the intensity of Kuroshio current was enhanced. The average chlorite / kaolinite ratio of detrital sediments from Taiwan (5.0) is much higher than that from the East China Sea Continental (ECS) Shelf (<2.0). The ratio of chlorite / kaolinite in Core MD012403 shows high values (2-6) during 0 ka-12 ka and maintains low (0.5) between 12 ka-21 ka. This suggests that the ECS may be the major sedimentary provenance during 12 ka-21 ka. Concentrations of MnO、CaO、MgO、ΣFe2O3 in sediment increase with depth but Na2O displays an opposite trend. Aoki and Oinuma(1974) documented that the sediments come from East China Shelf have a significantly low K/Ti ratio. In this study, the ratios of K/Ti drop down during 12 ka-21 ka indicating sources of sediments were mainly from ECS shelf. This interpretation is consistent with evidence also supports the inference derived from clay mineral assemblage.

Tibetan plateau is one of the most phenomenal orogens in the world. The spectacular landscape provides the opportunity to understand the fundamental mechanisms of mountain building process from varied disciplines such as geomorphology, geochemistry, and geophysics. Like many other orogenic belts around the world, the expedition into the plateau can be hampered by the inaccessibility of intended outcrops. These rough terrains, however, are often the most crucial outcrops to reveal the tectonic picture of the regime. Alternatively, sediments collected from the downstream of selected watershed can reflect a synthetic picture and provide integrated information in a catchment scale. With appropriate strategies and targets, we can therefore establish a comprehensive understanding toward the aimed tributaries and distinguish the veiled governing forces. In this study, we used multiple thermo-chronometers to detect the provenance of modern sediments from two tributaries of Yarlung-Tsangpo River, southeast Tibet. Results from zircon fission track (ZFT), apatite fissiontrack (AFT), Ar-Ar single grain analysis on K-feldspar and U/Pb-ZFT double dating all indicate the occurrence of grains with young thermal ages prevailing in the Lhasa River. This remarkable young population is not significantly detected in the Nyang River, another tributary east of Lhasa River. The discrepancy of age population between the two catchments suggests that the fundamental surface process must be different. Zircon U/Pb and fission track double dating suggests that the young age component represent the recent exhumation episode in Lhasa River. Comparisons between downstream, upstream sediments and in situ rock samples inside Lhasa River explicate that the provenance of the young grains is related to the major structure, Gulu Rifting belt. The high percentage of these young grains suggests a focused denudation in a restricted area of the Lhasa River, mostly along the Nyainqentanglha range.

In der Geologie wird die U-Pb-Datierung an detritischen Zirkonen (DZ) normalerweise für Datierungs- und Provenienzstudien an Gesteinen, die älter als das Känozoikum sind, eingesetzt. Wir haben mehrere Tephra-Schichten in Utah und New Mexico, USA, mit veröffentlichten 40 Ar/ 39 Ar-Altern zwischen 1.3 und 1.6 Ma getestet und festgestellt, dass die Alter, die aus den Clustern der U-Pb-Datierungen abgeleitet wurden, zuverlässig sind, obwohl sie diskordant waren. Wir haben eine dieser Tephra-Schichten in den La Sal Mountains, Utah, verwendet, umlagernden Deckschichten ein Mindestalter zuzuweisen. Dabei stellten wir fest, dass wir nicht nur mittels Paläopädologie Schichtgrenzen zwischen Schichten ausweisen konnten. Sondern dass sie sich, obwohl sie sich in Bezug auf physikalische und chemische Eigenschaften ähneln, in Bezug auch auf die Herkunft ihres äolischen Materials (abgeleitet aus der U-Pb-Analyse der DZ) überhaupt nicht glichen, wie man eigentlich annehmen könnte. Die Herkunft des eingemischten äolischen Materials hat sich von Schicht zu Schicht entscheidend verändert. Die Ergebnisse ermöglichten es auch, jeder Schicht konkrete wahrscheinliche Liefergebiete zuzuweisen. Da dies die Möglichkeit einer Provenienz-Analyse belegt hatte, erweiterten wir unsere Studie regional auf Deckschichten des zentralen Great Basin (GB) und des nördlichen Colorado Plateaus (CP). Unter Verwendung eines publizierten sequenz-stratigraphischen Ansatzes, der auf stratigraphisch konsistenten Phasen der Bodenentwicklung basiert, haben wir versucht, Deckschichten aus denselben beiden oberen quartären Zeitscheiben zu untersuchen. Wir erweiterten unser Methodenspektrum um End Member-Modellierung (EMMA) und die Analyse der Oberfläche und Form von DZ. Wir verwendeten statistische Methoden wie mehrdimensionale Skalierung (MDS) und Dichtefunktionen (Wahrscheinlichkeitsdichtefunktionen und Kerndichteschätzungen), um Ähnlichkeiten und Abstände von Altersverteilungen zu visualisieren. MDS und Dichtefunktionen zeigten deutlich, dass GB und CP unterschiedliche Altersspektren aufweisen. Dies ist wahrscheinlich auf unterschiedliche Transportkaskaden der Zirkone in beide und innerhalb beider Gebiete zurückzuführen. Aufgrund des Fehlens von Datenbanken zur Morphologie von gesteinsbürtigen Zirkonen kann man daraus noch keine genauen Rückschlüsse über Transportwege ziehen, obwohl wir wahrscheinlich an vielen Zirkonen Spuren mehrerer Schritte des äolischen Transports identifizieren konnten. Es liegen auch DZ vor, die vermutlich ausschließlich durch die kinetische Energie von Vulkanausbrüchen während der Kreidezeit (Cordilleran Magmatic Arc) und des Paläogens (starker Vulkanismus innerhalb des Untersuchungsgebiets) zum Probenahmepunkt transportiert wurden. Darüber hinaus können wir Ähnlichkeiten zwischen den verschiedenen Schichten im CP zeigen. Obwohl sie räumlich und zeitlich getrennt sind, haben sie eine ähnliche Altersverteilung. Die einzige Ausnahme hiervon ist das Profil der höheren La Sal Mountains, wofür es mehrere mögliche Gründe gibt. Wir konnten nicht genügend Erkenntnisse für die Rekonstruktion der paläoökologischen Bedingungen während der Schicht- und Bodenbildungsphasen gewinnen; weitere Untersuchungen müssen folgen. Wir zeigen jedoch, dass eine Provenienzstudie an quartären Schichten und weiterreichende Schlussfolgerungen möglich sind, und möchten diesen Ansatz für das Untersuchungsgebiet in Zukunft verdichten, aber auch versuchen, ihn auf andere Untersuchungsgebiete zu übertragen.:Abstract .......................................................................................................................3 Kurzfassung ................................................................................................................5 Contents ......................................................................................................................7 List of figures ............................................................................................................ 11 List of tables ............................................................................................................. 13 List of abbreviations and units .................................................................................. 14 1 Introduction ........................................................................................................... 16 1.1 Research questions ........................................................................................... 16 1.2 Cover beds ......................................................................................................... 17 1.3 Palaeosols .......................................................................................................... 17 1.4 Study area .......................................................................................................... 18 1.5 Zircons ............................................................................................................... 21 1.6 Thesis format ...................................................................................................... 23 2 Capability of U-Pb dating of zircons from Quaternary tephra: Jemez Mountains, NM, and La Sal Mountains, UT, USA ....................................................................... 24 2.1 Abstract .............................................................................................................. 25 2.2 Kurzfassung ....................................................................................................... 25 2.3 Introduction ........................................................................................................ 26 2.4 Geological setting ............................................................................................... 27 2.4.1 Jemez Mountains, New Mexico ...................................................................... 27 2.4.2 La Sal Mountains, Utah ................................................................................... 30 2.5 Methods ............................................................................................................. 30 2.6 Results and discussion ..................................................................................... 33 2.6 Conclusions ........................................................................................................ 38 Data availability ........................................................................................................ 38 Competing interests.................................................................................................. 38 Acknowledgements .................................................................................................. 38 2.7 References ......................................................................................................... 39 3 Cover beds older than the mid-Pleistocene revolution and the provenance of their aeolian components, La Sal Mountains, Utah, USA ........................................ 42 3.1 Abstract .............................................................................................................. 43 3.2 Introduction ........................................................................................................ 43 3.3 Material and methods ........................................................................................ 44 3.3.1 The La Sal Mountains tephra layer ................................................................. 44 3.3.2 Cover beds and palaeosols............................................................................. 45 3.3.3 Samples and analyses .................................................................................... 46 3.4 Results and discussion ...................................................................................... 49 3.5 Conclusions ....................................................................................................... 56 Acknowledgments ................................................................................................... 58 Summary information A.

In this study we analysis the detrital zircon U-Pb ages from Late Triassic to Eocene strata of Sichuan basin and Songpan-Ganze folded belt in eastern Tibet to discuss possible sediment provenance. The Songpan-Ganze folded belt, comprised of 5-15km thickness of late Triassic flysch deposit, was deformed by Mesozoic and Cenozoic events which formed 3-5km high plateau. It connects with Sichuan basin by Longmenshan orogenic belt. In the Sichuan basin it comprised of shallow marine deposit since Mesozoic and become foreland basin deposit after the Cenozoic. We collected samples from Triassic to Eocene strata in SW Sichuan basin and Songpan-Ganze folded belt in different age strata and we also combined with previous studies to analysis the possible sediment provenance. In the Songpan-Ganze folded belt we obtained more comprehensive age spectrums in Devonian strata. Previous study show the age spectrum concentrates on 970 Ma and 440 Ma and we observed there exists many 2.4-2.6 Ga grains. The Triassic strata are similar with previous studies which ages concentrate on ca. 1.8Ga, 790Ma and some grains are 260-300Ma and 410-470Ma. In Sichuan basin the preliminary data show there are quite different age spectrums from Triassic to Jurrassic. The Triassic to Jurassic strata show the age spectrums concentrate on 270Ma, 450Ma, 800Ma, and few 1800Ma. But in Jurassic strata most of grain ages concentrate on 1800Ma. In the Cretaceous strata we started to observed ca. 215 Ma peak and some on 770Ma which infer the sediments could come from Songpan-Ganze folded belt. In Eocene strata the age spectrums concentrate on 1800 Ma and 270 Ma which infers the sediments different source from Cretaceous to Eocene.

The Kenting and Lichi Mélanges formed at the subduction system of Eurasian plate and Philippine Sea plate, located in Hengchun Peninsula and southern Coastal Range, respectively. Mélange is a body of rock characterized by exotic blocks, contained in a fine-grained deformed matrix. The purpose of this study is to analyse provenance of the sandstone blocks on the Mélanges, by using detrital zircon U-Pb dating, petrography, nannofossil biostratigraphy, and Hf isotope analysis. In addiction, in order to understand the sources of ophiolite, and the sandstone blocks of the Kenting and Lichi Mélanges, this study also collected samples from Eastern Taiwan Ophiolite and Miocene strata of Hengchun Peninsula. We analysed 7 Miocene strata samples from Hengchun Peninsula, 28 sandstone blocks from the Mélanges and 4 Eastern Taiwan Ophiolite. According to U-Pb age assemblage analysis, Lilungshan Formation and Shimen Formation have the same character with Central and Norther Taiwan Miocene Strata, but Loshui Formation has a different character. According to paleocurrent data and petrography results, contains argillite, quazite, and ophiolitic lithics, the provenance of Lilungshan Formation and Shimen Formation is the old accretionary wedge. According to U-Pb age assemblage analysis and petrography results, the provenance of Loshui Formation is the Cathaysia. According to zircon U-Pb age assemblage and petrography results, we classified sandstone blocks of the Mélanges into four types. Type 1 sandstone has the same character with Lilungshan Formation and Shimen Formation, the provenance of Type 1 sandstone represent the old accretionary wedge. Type 2 sandstone has the same character with Loshui Formation, the provenance of Type 2 sandstone is the Cathaysia. The provenance of Type 3 ophiolitic sandstone is the old accretionary wedge. The young zircon age population of Type 3 is derived from South China Sea oceanic crust, which been scratched and uplifted by the subduction system, and the old zircons are from continental material. The provenance of Type 4 volcanic lithics sandstone is volcano arc. The young zircon age population of Type 4 is from the volcanic arc, and the old zircons are captured from sedimentary strata, when the original magma upwelling. The Lichi Mélange contains Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4 sandstone blocks. The Kenting Mélange contains Type 1 and Type 3 sandsone blocks. The zircon U-Pb age of Eastern Taiwan Ophiolite of the Lichi Mélange, include two age populations (1)17.4~16.3 Ma, and (2)14.8~13.9 Ma, which zircon Hf isotopic data indicated the magmas are from depleted mantal.

Повний текст джерелаA broad range of samples were collected from the Huron-Erie Lobe, Lake Michigan Lobe, Saginaw Lobe, and Tipton Till Plain of northern Indiana to determine the provenance of Laurentide Ice Sheet till in the Midwest U.S. during the Illinoian and Wisconsinan glaciations. U-Pb age distributions from approximately 300 detrital zircons (DZ) were used as provenance indicators for each till sample. Till from the Lake Michigan Lobe and was found to be largely homogenized. The distinct lobe DZ age distributions are the Lake Michigan Lobe till with a dominant ~1465 Ma peak, the northern Huron-Erie Lobe till with a dominant ~1060 Ma and a secondary peak at ~1450 Ma, the southern Huron-Erie Lobe till with nearly equal peaks at ~1435 Ma, ~1175 Ma, and ~1065 Ma, and the southern Saginaw Lobe till with a dominant peak at ~1095 Ma. Those four DZ age distributions were treated as endmembers in a nonlinear least-squares mixing model to calculate the contribution of each lobe to till in the Tipton Till Plain. Huron-Erie and Saginaw lobe tills were found to be the primary components of the Tipton Till Plain, and Lake Michigan Lobe till was only found in the western Tipton Till Plain. Zircons from the Saginaw Lobe till increased 39 % in the eastern Tipton Till Plain between the Illinoisan and Wisconsinan glaciations. The mixing model was also applied to relate the DZ age distributions of the lobes to bedrock within and near their flow paths. When comparing nearby bedrock to each lobe’s till, mixing model results, yield an approximate maximum transport distance between 500 and 630 kilometers for the matrix vii fraction of till in the Lake Michigan, Huron-Erie, and Saginaw lobes. Samples for the southern Huron-Erie Lobe indicate that the most of the zircon ages within the southern Huron-Erie Lobe till in Indiana were specifically entrained between Niagara County, New York and east-central Indiana. Within the model’s error, 93 – 100 % of the detrital zircons in each of the three lobes are relatable to nearby Paleozoic and Precambrian sedimentary and metamorphic bedrock formations.

Повний текст джерелаTills for this study were analyzed from sites in East Antarctica (EA), West Antarctica (WA) and along a transect in the Ross Sea. Particle size, sand petrography, and detrital zircons were used to provide new information on the subglacial geology of Antarctica, as well as assisting in the reconstruction of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice flow paths. Statistical analyses using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S test) reveal that EA and WA zircon age distributions are distinct at a P-value <0.05. This makes it possible to trace the unique signatures from EA and WA into the Ross Sea.

Повний текст джерелаTills from major ice streams (Institute, Foundation, Academy, Recovery, and Slessor) of the Weddell Sea Embayment contain detrital zircons with distinct U-Pb age populations that can be used as a provenance tool to better understand ice stream dynamics. U-Pb ages of detrital zircons were measured in 21 samples of onshore till, erratics, and bedrock of potential source rocks, and 12 samples of offshore till. Grains were analyzed by LA-ICPMS at the University of Arizona (n=5447). Relative probability U-Pb age density plots of till in moraines along the Institute Ice Stream have dominant Grenville (1070 Ma) and secondary Ross/Pan-African peaks (560 Ma, 630 Ma). The Foundation and Academy show prominent Ross/Pan-African peaks (500-530 Ma and 615-650 Ma). The Recovery transports zircons with prominent 530 Ma and 635 Ma peaks along the southern margin, and 1610 and 1770 Ma along the northern margin. The Slessor carries zircons with prominent populations at 1710 Ma and secondary 2260-2420 Ma. U-Pb ages in zircons from offshore till samples show a general trend of fewer Mesozoic ages from west to east. The western most core, PS 1423, has dominant Jurassic populations while cores 1197 and 1278 have a high proportion of early Ross/Pan-African ages relative to Grenville ages. The similar zircon age distributions between PS 1278 and the Foundation Ice Stream tills suggest that the Foundation switched to an easterly flow path around Berkner Island (BI) at some point during the LGM. In the eastern Weddell Sea (PS 1400), there was a near absence of Proterozoic zircon age populations carried by the Slessor and northern side of the Recovery. Another unexpected find was a lack of Grenville ages in PS 1423 relative to the Institute tills. The U-Pb data in this study provides a basis for two possible LGM ice flow reconstructions. In the first, the Institute flowed west around the unnamed isolated bedrock highs, deposited tills between PS 1423 and PS 1197, providing a westerly flow path around BI for the Foundation. In the second, the Institute flows over the subglacial topography and deposited till closer to PS 1197, forcing the Foundation east around BI.

Повний текст джерелаDetrital zircon ages obtained from the Corny Point Paragneiss and the Massena Bay Gneiss in the southeastern Gawler Craton, Australia, constrain their deposition to the interval ca. <1880 Ma. The presence of 2020 Ma, 2450 Ma and 2520 Ma detrital zircons within the Corny Point Paragneiss constrains the source region for the sedimentary protoliths to three possible domains within Australia; the Gawler Craton, the Glenburgh Orogen in the Western Australian Proterozoic, and the North Australian Craton, all of which contain rock systems with similar ages. Whole rock εNd (1850Ma) values from the Corny Point Paragneiss range from -1 to -5. These values potentially preclude the Late Archaean to mid Proterozoic crust of the Gawler Craton as a sole or major source region due to its highly evolved average εNd (1850Ma) of around -10. Preclusion of the Gawler Craton as a source is apparently confirmed by Hf isotopic compositions of 2020 Ma detrital zircons from the Corny Point Paragneiss, which have εHf (2020Ma) ranging between +3 to +7. This compares with εHf (2020Ma) of -1 to -4 for zircons from the 2020 Ma Miltalie Gneiss in the Gawler Craton. Available Nd isotopic data suggests that the Glenburgh Orogen is too crustally evolved to have provided the majority of sediment into the Corny Point Paragneiss protolith. The 2020 Ma detrital Hf isotopic compositions of the Corny Point Paragneiss are similar to the 2020 Ma Wildman Siltstone (εHf (2020Ma) +2 to +7) in the Pine Creek Orogen in the North Australian Craton. Two possible scenarios can be extrapolated from the detrital zircon and Nd isotopic data; (1) the Corny Point Paragneiss sediment was derived from a source region within the North Australian Craton and could share source regions with the Wildman Siltstone, or (2) the sediments were derived from a Gawler Craton source region that included a dominant juvenile component of the 2020 Ma Miltalie Gneiss in the adjacent Gawler Craton which has since been eroded. In the first scenario, the absence of connection to the Gawler Craton allows for the Betts and Giles (2006) plate reconstruction model, which proposes that the Corny Point Paragneiss formed part of the North Australia Craton, and was sutured to the Proto Gawler Craton at 1730-1700 Ma. The second scenario highlights a significant limitation in evaluating the significance of provenance data, particularly when considering old potential source terrains that have undergone significant levels of denudation. The proximity of the Corny Point Paragneiss to the rifted southern and eastern margins of the Australian Proterozoic means a thorough evaluation of the palaeogeographic significance of the Corny Point Paragneiss detrital signature requires corresponding datasets from regions such as Antarctica which were formerly contiguous with the Gawler Craton.

The Jasper Gorge Formation of the Victoria Basin and Jamison Sandstone of the Beetaloo Sub-basin are also thought to be corollaries. These formations are all constrained to being younger than ca. 1.0 Ga by U-Pb detrital zircon studies. However, in all cases, this is suspected to considerably pre-date the timing of deposition. Here, we present new U-Pb and Hf data from seven samples of the Amadeus Basin Heavitree Formation to a) better constrain the age of the Heavitree Formation, b) investigate the spatial variation in provenance of the Heavitree Formation, and, c) compare it with other ‘Supersequence 1’ quartzites from the wider Centralian Superbasin.

Detrital zircons collected from sedimentary rocks can find out exhumation history for the U-Pb dating. This study aims to reconstruct the Eocene–Miocene exhumation history of the southeast China by using U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology. The samples were collected from the Eocene-Miocene formation along the Beigang river and the upper Miocene formation from the Daan river. Each sample contains about 80-100 zircons U-Pb dating data with LA-ICPMS. Zircon formed from igneous activity or metamorphism of the source province. U-Pb dates are distributed to several groups according to the major geological movement in southeast China, (1) Wutai orogeny (2400-2600 Ma) (2) Luliang orogeny (1700-1900 Ma) (3) Sibao orogeny (930-1000 Ma) (4) Jinning orogeny (700-850 Ma) (5) Caledonian orogeny (400-450) (6) Indosinian orogeny (200-250 Ma) (7) Early Yanshanian orogeny (200-145) (8) Late Yanshanian orogeny (Ⅰ) (100-145 Ma) and (9) Late Yanshanian orogeny (Ⅱ) (100-65 Ma) (10) continental rifting period (65-8Ma). Age spectrum analyses of the Eocene formation indicates that the major proportion is the Late Yanshanian orogenyⅠgroup, about 12%-22%; the major proportion of the Oligocene formation is the Late Yanshanian orogenyⅠgroup, about 23%-36%; the major proportion of the Miocene formation is the Luliang movement group about 10%-23%. The Major proportion of Yanshanian orogeny (Ⅰ) group shows the increasing in the Eocene to the Oligocene formations, but the decreasing in the Miocene formation means that Late Yanshanian orogeny (Ⅰ) period rock eroded and reduced the exposed area during the Miocene period; The Luliang movement group proportion of Miocene formation data is increasing, and it means that the younger rocks eroded causes older rocks exposed. The youngest zircon age can be a corroboration of sedimentary age of sedimentary rock, 39.3±0.8 Ma of the Eocene formation, 27.4±0.6 Ma of the Oligocene formation, 26.7±0.6 Ma of the Miocene formation that confirms the previous reports of the age of sedimentary rocks.

Повний текст джерелаThe Beetaloo Basin of the ‘greater McArthur Basin’, is a 15,000km2 Palaeoproterozoic depocenter which hosts shallow water, dominantly marine, clastic sedimentary rocks and is a large hydrocarbon reserve. Here I present LA-ICP-MS detrital zircon U-Pb age data, Rare Earth Elemental zircon and illite crystallinity XRD results and compare with existing studies to explore the variation in provenance throughout the basin and to better understand its temperature history as much of the basins’ history is still unknown. Nine sandstone and seventeen shale core samples were analysed. New constraints were placed on the depositional age for the Corcoran Formation to between 1390 ± 27 Ma and 1324 ± 4 Ma. The Velkerri Formation, Moroak Sandstone and Kyalla Formation of the Maiwok Sub-group all largely supported the results of previous studies yielding comparable maximum depositional ages. Zircon phosphorous concentrations revealed a largely I-type granitic source rock indicating the granites were formed in arc related settings. Detrital zircon age data revealed possible origins of sediments showing that the Corcoran Formation has a major source of ca. 1600 Ma zircons which are not unlike rocks from Eastern Queensland orogens. The Velkerri Formations’ main age peak falls at ca. 1765 Ma which shows a change to older detrital source rocks with more similarities to the Arunta and Kathleen and Western Orogenies. Moving up-section to the Moroak Sandstone and Kyalla Formations, samples shift to younger ca. 1560 Ma peak ages at the base of the Moroak followed by a gradual increase in age with younger sequences where a maximum peak age of ca. 1795 Ma is found in the mid Kyalla Formation. This gradual increase shows a gradual shift in sediment source from E/SE sources to southern source regions. Illite crystallinity data show that the shales within the Beetaloo Basin have experienced much greater temperatures than at present. Altree 2 has an XRD calculated bottom-hole temperature of 155°C at1647m depth, the Jamison records 156°C at 1695m with the Elliot being the hottest at 194°C at 1697 deep. These values were then used to calculate the amount of cover removed from present day. Altree 2 returned an estimate of 2050m of cover removed, Jamison 1769m and Elliot with the most cover removed at 2680m showing that the southern region of the Beetaloo Basin has experienced the greatest uplift since maximum subsidence followed by the northern Altree 2.

Повний текст джерелаThe Chewings Range Quartzite is a meta-sedimentary cover sequence located in the Warumpi Province of the Arunta Region. U-Pb detrital Zircon analysis of the Chewings Range Quartzite indicates a minimum depositional age of ~ 1640Ma, with the main population of zircons residing within a range of 1700 – 1800Ma. Evidence from Sm-Nd isotopic data suggests that a series of Staurolite Garnet Schists, often grouped with the Chewings Range Quartzite, has a significantly more juvenile character. This suggests that it may represent a new unit with a significantly differing provenance to that of the Chewings Range Quartzite. Combined REE, geochemistry and detrital zircon dating suggests that the Chewings Range Quartzite was derived primarily off the Arunta Region and North Australian Craton, while the Stauralite Garnet Schists holds more affinity with juvenile Musgrave Province to the south.
