“…During the Early Cretaceous to Paleogene, felsic magmatic rocks were emplaced extensively into the belts of the southern Sikhote‐Alin (Figure a). The earliest granitoids are 131 to 124 Ma in age and are rare, only being found in the Nadanhada‐Bikin accretionary complex and the adjacent part of the Zhuravlevka turbidite basin (Figure a; Cheng et al, ; Grebennikov et al, ; Jahn et al, ). However, magmatism was interrupted between 130 and 110 Ma in the other belts, after which it was reactivated by rapid oblique Paleo‐Pacific subduction (the Izanagi Plate) and became quasi‐continuous from 110 Ma to 56 Ma (Jahn et al, ; Kruk et al, ; Tang et al, ).…”

The Sikhote‐Alin orogenic belt in Russian Far East is comprised of several N‐S trending belts, including the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous accretionary prisms and turbidite basin which are now separated by thrusts and strike‐slip faults. The origin and collage of the belts have been studied for decades. However, the provenance of the belts remains unclear. Six sandstone samples were collected along a 200 km long east‐west traverse across the major belts in the southern Sikhote‐Alin for U‐Pb dating and Lu‐Hf isotope analysis to constrain the provenance and evaluate the evolution of the northwest Pacific margin at this time. The result reveals that the sediments from the main Samarka belt was mainly from the adjacent Bureya‐Jiamusi‐Khanka Block (BJKB); the eastern Samarka belt and the Zhuravlevka turbidite basin were supplied by detritus from both the North China Craton (NCC) and the BJKB; the Taukha belt was mainly fed by sediments from the NCC; whereas the data from the Sergeevka nappes are insufficient to resolve their provenance. In the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, collision and subduction was important in the initial collage of most belts in Sikhote‐Alin. However, merely E‐W trending collage cannot explain the increasing importance of the NCC provenance from west to east. It is proposed that the main Samarka belt was located adjacent to the BJKB when deposited, whereas the other belts were farther south to accept the materials from the NCC. Sinistral strike‐slip faulting transported the eastern belts northward after their initial collage by thrusting.

“…During the Late Cretaceous at ~80 Ma, Paleo‐Pacific slab rollback continued, further migrating the continental arc eastward. The continental arc flared up again along the continental margin, forming voluminous volcanic rocks, including ignimbrites and granitoids in the East Sikhote‐Alin (Grebennikov et al, ; Grebennikov & Popov, ).…”

“…Although global reviews and regional studies accept the existence of a Late Mesozoic continental arc along the eastern margin of NE Asia, the Cretaceous tectonic evolution of the continental arc and back‐arc system remains controversial. A 130–115‐Ma island arc system was proposed (Markevich et al, ; Grebennikov et al, ; Khanchuk et al, ) based on recognition of (1) the Early Cretaceous Kema island arc in the east Sikhote‐Alin and (2) by the Early Cretaceous Zhuravlevka‐Amur turbidite back‐arc basin. Other competing tectonic models for the Late Cretaceous include an offshore convergent boundary, distal to the Asian continental margin (e.g., Bazhenov et al, ), and a continent‐continent collision responsible for the Late Cretaceous intraplate compression in NE China (Zhang et al, ).…”

Continental Arc and Back‐Arc Migration in Eastern NE China: New Constraints on Cretaceous Paleo‐Pacific Subduction and Rollback

Tectonic evolution models for the Cretaceous Russia Sikhote-Alin and eastern NE China continental margin and interior remain controversial. To understand the magmatic evolution over time and assess regional geodynamic processes, we sampled a diverse array of igneous rocks and employed zircon U-Pb dating, hornblende and plagioclase 40 Ar-39 Ar dating, whole-rock major and trace element analysis, and 87 Sr/ 86 Sr and 143 Nd/ 144 Nd isotopic analysis. The west Sikhote-Alin Pikeshan Formation volcanics and associated granites occurred at a peak of~118 Ma and are hosted by the Triassic-Jurassic accretionary complex. Their whole rock geochemistry shows that SiO 2 increased in a linear trend, Eu/Eu* values decreased from 0.91 to 0.38, and ε Nd (t) values decreased from +0.6 to À2.9, indicating magma mixing of a juvenile mantle wedge source and continental crust, consistent with a continental arc. The arc thickened over time with a felsic dike hosted in the Pikeshan granites showing depletion in heavy rare earth elements. The termination of the arc front is documented by the~107-Ma intermediate lamprophyre and felsic dikes with ε Nd (t) values of +4.5 to +1.1, indicating an increased mantle contribution over time. Lithospheric extension of the Jiamusi Block to the west occurred at~100 Ma, characterized by bimodal volcanism and composite dike emplacement, suggestive of asthenosphere upwelling. Based on the spatial and temporal distribution of these igneous rocks, the continental arc and intraplate magmatism migrated eastward contemporaneously. We favor a model invoking rollback of the subducting Paleo-Pacific slab affecting a long-lived continental arc.In the Early Cretaceous, the Russian Far East and NE China, Korea, and Japan, as well as the Chinese continental shelf, collectively constituted the eastern Asian continental margin before the opening of the marginal seas (Tang et al., 2016). The integrated continental margin was formed by Paleo-Pacific subduction SUN ET AL. 3893

“…This mode of subsidence differs from the overall decay patterns of post‐rift subsidence observed in individual extensional sedimentary basins (Allen & Allen, ). The prolonged subduction‐related magmatism (95–57 Ma) that occurred along the continental margin of NE Asia, extending from Sikhote‐Alin and Chukchi in Far East Russia to South Korea and SW Japan in the south (Grebennikov, Khanchuk, Gonevchuk, & Kovalenko, ; Jahn et al., ; Zhang, Zhai, et al., ), indicates that this foreland basin system in NE China was situated in a retroarc setting associated with the subduction of the palaeo‐Pacific plate during the late Cretaceous.…”

Late Cretaceous tectonic switch from a Western Pacific‐ to an Andean‐Type continental margin evolution in East Asia, and a foreland basin development in NE China

The early Cretaceous structure of NE China was a result of slab‐rollback‐driven extensional tectonics, characteristic of Western Pacific‐type continental margins. Oblique docking of a microcontinent along the Asian active margin in the early Late Cretaceous induced a compressional stress regime that brought about an Andean‐type continental margin development. Partitioning of contractional–transpressional strain across NE China produced a retroarc foreland basin system, comprising, from east to west, an orogenic wedge, a foredeep (Songliao basin), a forebulge (Great Xing'an Range) and a back‐bulge depozone (Hailar and Erlian basins). A sub‐circular lacustrine depozone in the pre‐existing Songliao basin evolved into a NNE‐trending depocentre near the forebulge and acquired a westward flowing fluvial–deltaic drainage system during the Campanian. Development of this retroarc foreland basin system signals a significant tectonic switch from a Western Pacific‐type to an Andean‐type continental margin evolution in the geological history of East Asia.
