“…Remnants of an Upper Cretaceous‐Paleogene intraoceanic island arc and accretionary complex equivalent to the Nemuro and Tokoro belts are found on the eastern parts of the Tonin‐Aniva and Terpeniya peninsulas and along east Sakhalin (Figures , , and ; e.g., Grannik, ; Nokleberg et al, ; Parfenov et al, ; Zharov, ). Santonian‐Campanian and Maastrichtian‐Danian volcanic and volcanosedimentary rocks of the Terpeniya terrane are found on the Terpeniya peninsula, east of the East Sakhalin terrane (Khanchuk, ; Nokleberg et al, ; Terekhov et al, ; Zyabrev, ; Figure ), and likely continue offshore (Terekhov et al, ). These sequences are straightforwardly correlated with the Nemuro belt of eastern Hokkaido, suggesting that they formed part of a contiguous intraoceanic island‐arc now preserved in an area extending from eastern Sakhalin to eastern Hokkaido (Bazhenov et al, ; Grannik, ; Nokleberg et al, ; Parfenov et al, ; Ueda, ).…”

Reconstruction of Subduction and Back‐Arc Spreading in the NW Pacific and Aleutian Basin: Clues to Causes of Cretaceous and Eocene Plate Reorganizations

2019

The Eocene (~50–45 Ma) major absolute plate motion change of the Pacific plate forming the Hawaii‐Emperor bend is thought to result from inception of Pacific plate subduction along one of its modern western trenches. Subduction is suggested to have started either spontaneously, or result from subduction of the Izanagi‐Pacific mid‐ocean ridge, or from subduction polarity reversal after collision of the Olyutorsky arc that was built on the Pacific plate with NE Asia. Here we provide a detailed plate‐kinematic reconstruction of back‐arc basins and accreted terranes in the northwest Pacific region, from Japan to the Bering Sea, since the Late Cretaceous. We present a new tectonic reconstruction of the intraoceanic Olyutorsky and Kronotsky arcs, which formed above two adjacent, oppositely dipping subduction zones at ~85 Ma within the north Pacific region, during another Pacific‐wide plate reorganization. We use our reconstruction to explain the formation of the submarine Shirshov and Bowers Ridges and show that if marine magnetic anomalies reported from the Aleutian Basin represent magnetic polarity reversals, its crust most likely formed in an ~85‐ to 60‐Ma back‐arc basin behind the Olyutorsky arc. The Olyutorsky arc was then separated from the Pacific plate by a spreading ridge, so that the ~55‐ to 50‐Ma subduction polarity reversal that followed upon Olyutorsky‐NE Asia collision initiated subduction of a plate that was not the Pacific. Hence, this polarity reversal may not be a straightforward driver of the Eocene Pacific plate motion change, whose causes remain enigmatic.

“…In the Sea of Japan, Early Cretaceous (Albian) rocks have only been found on the Yamato Upland [12,13] (North and South Yamato Ridges, Figure 2). The Cretaceous rocks of the Terpeniya Peninsula (Sakhalin Island) [14,15] are represented by volcanic-siliceous rocks of the Uchirskaya Suite (Maastrichtian-Danian, Kotikovskaya Series, Figure 3). On Shikotan Island (Figure 4), the Cretaceous [16,17] rocks of the Krabozavodskaya (Albian-Campanian), Matakotanskaya (Campanian-Maastrichtian), and Malokuril'skaya (Maastrichtian-Danian) Suites are considered.…”

In this study, clay and non-clay minerals in the cement of Cretaceous volcanogenic–sedimentary rocks from the bottom of the marginal seas of the north-western Pacific Ocean and adjacent areas were studied. Corrensite and mixed-layer chlorite–smectite, rectorite and mixed-layer illite–smectite, chlorite, swelling chlorite (?), illite, kaolinite, smectite (?), calcite, ankerite, barite, gypsum, epsomite, zeolites (laumontite, analcime, and stilbite), cristobalite, and quartz were determined. The following are the indicative properties: (a) minerals: corrensite and rectorite; (b) associations: corrensite–chlorite, corrensite–chlorite–laumontite, corrensite–epsomite–authigenic calcite, and quartz–illite. Such minerals indicate that the thickness of the accumulated sediments in the studied basins could reach three to five kilometers and that the temperature of their formation could be higher than 150 °C. Transformations in the process of diagenesis and epigenesis occur in two directions: smectite–rectorite–mica, with an excess of potassium, and smectite–corrensite–chlorite, with an excess of magnesium. The chlorite–corrensite association may indicate conditions favorable for seawater evaporation, and the presence of laumontite in the corrensite–chlorite association suggests a periodic supply of calcium to the sedimentation basin. The illite–kaolinite association is probably associated with coal accumulation in epicontinental conditions and a warm humid climate in nearby areas. Periods of sedimentation, possibly associated with global climate events, were identified: 113–120, 110–113, 105–110, 93–95, 72–83 and 61–72 Ma. The established time intervals and mineral associations can serve as benchmarks for stratigraphic constructions in reconstructing the physicochemical, climatic parameters, and conditions of Cretaceous volcanogenic–sedimentary strata accumulation.

“…The thickness of sediments strongly varies here and the acoustic basement outcrop on the steep parts of the slope. The mudstones in the lower part of the sedimentary section of the western Kuril Basin slope are made up of complexes of the Paleocene-Eocene and the Early Oligocene radiolarians as exhibited by drainage data [47][48][49]. The strata of the Late Oligocene-Early Miocene age and the Early Miocene-Middle Miocene age form the layer above the tuff-diatomite layer.…”

Gas hydrates were found in bottom sediments on the western slope of the Kuril Basin from the side of the Terpeniya Gulf (Okhotsk Sea) at 1020 m depths during expeditions in 2012 and 2013. However, on the eastern slope of the Tatar Strait, gas hydrates were sampled at an unusually shallow 322 m depth. During our research, we identified gas hydrate provinces based on both bottom water and sediment temperature measurement data and heat flow, earthquake, cold seep and sea current data analyses. These provinces have similar hydrological regimes, providing suitable temperature conditions for the existence of gas hydrates, to those at a 322 m depth in the Tatar Strait (Japan Sea) and at 725 and 1020 m depths on the slope of the Kuril Basin (Okhotsk Sea).
