“…So the plateau always supplies detritus from inside to outside (Bodet and Schärer, 2000;Campbell et al, 2005;Allen et al, 2008;Liang et al, 2008;Hoang et al, 2009;Alizai et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2012a), but the central plateau itself can only receive the local detritus (Decelles et al, 2007). The detritus from the CAOB and NQO was transported to the Ordos, Ningwu, and Jiyuan basins and the basins in the eastern NCC Meng et al, 2010;Li et al, 2013) in the Jurassic, which argues against the proposal that there was an elevated plateau in the eastern NCC during Jurassic (Ren et al, 1990;Dong et al, 2000;Zhang et al, 2001Zhang et al, , 2007aZhang et al, , 2008Zhang et al, , 2009a. On the contrary, the NCC, especially the eastern part, had experienced gradual subsidence in the Jurassic, which might be related to the roll-back of the subducted paleo-Pacific plate and associated upwelling of the asthenospheric mantle (Li et al, 2012.…”

“…Thus verification of the paleo-plateau hypothesis is important in constraining the evolution of the NCC. However, recent research revealed that the western Shandong-Bohai Bay basins, the western Liaoning basins, and the Xishan Basin to the west of Beijing had received some detritus from the southeastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) in the latest Late Triassic-Jurassic Meng et al, 2010;Li et al, 2013), suggesting that the eastern NCC would be a subsidence rather than an elevation in the Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Li, 2013). The subsidence might be attributed to thermo-chemical erosion of the lithosphere by underlying convective mantle (e.g., Menzies et al, 1993;Griffin et al, 1998;Xu, 2001;Li et al, 2013).…”

The North China Craton (NCC), which is composed of the eastern NCC and the western NCC sutured by the Palaeoproterozoic Trans-North China Orogen, is one of the oldest continental nuclei in the world and the largest cratonic block in China. The eastern NCC is widely known for its significant lithospheric thinning and destruction during the Late Mesozoic. Models on the destruction of the eastern NCC can be principally grouped into two: (1) thermal/mechanical and/or chemical erosion, and (2) lower crustal and (or) lithospheric delamination. The erosion model suggests that the NCC lithospheric thinning resulted from chemical and/or mechanical interactions of lithospheric mantle with melts or hydrous fluids derived from the asthenosphere, whereas the delamination model proposes lithospheric destruction through foundering of eclogitic lower crust together with lithospheric mantle into the underlying convecting mantle. However, those models lack seismic evidence to explain the destruction process. Here, we analyse the crustal structure and upper mantle discontinuity by employing the H-k stacking technique of receiver function as well as the depth domain receiver function. Our results indicate deep mantle upwelling and lower crustal delamination beneath the eastern NCC, and suggest that either or both of these processes contributed to the unique lithospheric thinning and destruction of the eastern NCC.

Detrital zircon U–Pb ages from the Middle to Late Permian strata of the Yiyang area, southern North China Craton: Implications for the Mianlue oceanic crust subduction

et al. 2018

Basin formation and sedimentary development in the southern North China Craton (NCC) are closely related to the tectonic evolution of the Qinling Orogenic Belt (QOB). With the aim of revealing the coupling evolution between the QOB and southern NCC during the Late Palaeozoic, an investigation based on provenance analysis was performed in this study. We present new detrital zircon U–Pb data from the Middle–Late Permian sediments in the Yiyang area, southern NCC. The results show that detrital zircons, from the Middle Permian Shihezi Formation, have three major peaks at 2,447, 1,905, and 296 Ma. In contrast, the lower and upper parts of the Late Permian Sunjiagou Formation yield major peaks at ~1.85 Ga and ~260 Ma, with weak peaks at ~2.5 Ga, ~450 Ma, and ~315 Ma, and the middle part of the Sunjiagou Formation displays a major peak at 429 Ma. Combined with published palaeocurrent data and lithofacies palaeogeography, the sediments of the Middle Permian Shihezi Formation were sourced from the Inner Mongolia Palaeo‐Uplift along the northern margin of the NCC, whereas the Upper Permian Sunjiagou Formation originated mainly from the southern margin of the NCC including the North Qinling Belt. This provenance shift indicates that the North Qinling Belt and southern margin of the NCC initiated the uplift and exhumation during the Late Permian. On the basis of the evolutionary history of the QOB, we attribute the uplift geodynamics to the Mianlue oceanic crust subduction. This study provides important sedimentological constraints for the tectonic conversion during the Late Palaeozoic along the southern margin of the NCC, which also restricts the start‐up time of the Mianlue oceanic crust subduction from the perspective of the basin–mountain system.
