“…Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous exhumation in the Tian Shan was also interpreted as an effect of the Lhasa-Qiangtang collision (Dumitru et al, 2001;De Grave et al, 2007;Glorie et al, 2010;De Grave et al, 2012). Therefore, although the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous cooling episode in the northern Altai Shan (De Grave and Van den haute, 2002;De Grave et al, 2008), Sayan ranges (De Grave et al, 2011;Jolivet et al, 2013), and neighboring areas of Lake Baikal ( Van der Beek et al, 1996;Jolivet et al, 2009) have been ascribed to the Mongol-Okhotsk orogeny, to what extent the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous large scale reactivation in the western CAOB was related to this collisional event has remained unclear De Grave et al, 2011).…”

Fission-track analyses have shown that many places, including neighboring areas of Lake Baikal ( Van der Beek et al, 1996;Jolivet et al, 2009), Sayan ranges (De Grave et al, 2011;Jolivet et al, 2013), Altai ranges (De Grave and Van den haute, 2002; Guo et al, 2006;De Grave et al, 2008), North Tian Shan (NTS) (Guo et al, 2006;Shen et al, 2008), and South Tian Shan (STS) (Dumitru et al, 2001;Jolivet et al, 2010), underwent a cooling event in the latest Jurassic-earliest Cretaceous (Figs. 1, 11B).…”

“…The Early Jurassic and Late Jurassic exhumation events in the Tian Shan have also been interpreted as effects of the Asia‐Qiangtang collision and Asia‐Lhasa collision, respectively [ Dumitru et al ., ; De Grave et al ., , , ; Glorie et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ]. However, Jurassic‐Early Cretaceous exhumation events in the Altai Shan [ De Grave and Van den haute , ; Vassallo et al ., ; De Grave et al ., , ], Sayan ranges [ De Grave et al ., ; Jolivet et al ., ], and neighboring areas of Lake Baikal [ Van der Beek et al ., ; Jolivet et al ., ] have been commonly attributed to far‐field effects of the closure of the Mongol‐Okhotsk Ocean in the Mesozoic [ Zonenshain et al ., ; Zorin , ]. Because accretion of Tibet and the Amuria‐Siberia collision occurred, respectively, to the south and to the east of the Junggar Basin (Figure ), they might have produced different effects on structural deformation and stratigraphic architecture within the basin.…”

Mesozoic basins in northwest China provide important records for investigating relationships between intraplate deformation in Central Asia and tectonic processes at Asian boundaries. The present study, using well, seismic, outcrop, and thermochronology data in the Junggar Basin and neighboring areas, describes the main features of Jurassic strata in the basin, analyzes the Jurassic evolution of the basin and neighboring mountain belts, and discusses possible mechanisms of Jurassic intraplate deformation in Central Asia. During the Early-Middle Jurassic, episodic uplift of surrounding mountain belts kept the Junggar Basin a contractional closed basin, and alluvial fan, fluvial, delta, and lacustrine depositional environments successively developed from surrounding ranges to the central basin. During the Late Jurassic, the western and central parts of the basin were folded and uplifted, and deposition migrated mainly to the eastern basin. During the latest Jurassic-earliest Cretaceous, pre-Cretaceous strata in the eastern and northeastern Junggar Basin were folded and uplifted, and coarse-grained sediments were transported from surrounding uplifts to the central basin. We suggest that Jurassic episodic deformation events in the Junggar Basin and other areas of Central Asia are related to the Qiangtang collision during the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic, the closure of the western Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean at the Early/Middle Jurassic boundary, a collision of a microcontinent in the Pamir with the southern Asian margin during the late Middle Jurassic-early Late Jurassic, the collision of the Kolyma-Omolon Block with Siberia at the end of the Jurassic, and the subsequent closure of the eastern Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean during the latest Jurassic-earliest Cretaceous.

“…The uppermost sediments of the basin are mudstones, siltstones, and sandstones that contain only sparse and thin coal layers, and which belong to the Middle–Upper Permian Kolchugin Group (Kotel'nikov et al, ). In terms of composition and texture, the deposits of the Balakhon and Kolchugin groups in the Gorlovo Basin are similar to the same stratigraphic units in the Kuznetsk Basin (Davies, Allen, Buslov, & Safonova, ; De Grave et al, , and references therein). This Serpukhovian–Permian unit has a thickness of about 2,500 m, 1,150 m of which is represented by the Upper Carboniferous–Lower Permian Balakhon Group.…”

The Kolyvan–Tomsk folded zone (KTFZ) represents part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The KTFZ is mainly composed of detrital Late Palaeozoic sedimentary deposits, with minor intrusions. Detrital zircon geochronology on the Upper Devonian to Lower Permian sedimentary sequences of the KTFZ and the associated Gorlovo foreland basin yields four age peaks, reflecting the magmatic events in the source terranes. These events consist of (a) a minor Neoproterozoic peak (0.9–0.7 Ga), (b) a significant Early Palaeozoic peak (550–460 Ma), with a maximum at 500 Ma, and two well‐defined Late Palaeozoic peaks during (c) the Middle–Late Devonian (385–360 Ma) and (d) the Carboniferous–Early Permian (360–280 Ma), with a maximum at 320 Ma. Older zircons (>1 Ga) are quite rare in the sampled sedimentary sequences. Slightly negative εNd values and associated relatively young Nd model ages were obtained (εNd(T) = −0.78, T (DM) ~1.1 Ga for Upper Devonian sandstones, εNd(T) = −1.1, T (DM) ~1.1 Ga for Lower Permian sandstones), suggesting only minor contribution of ancient continental crust to the main sedimentary units of the KTFZ. All intrusive and volcaniclastic rocks on the contrary are characterized by high positive εNd(T) values in the range of 3.78–6.86 and a Late Precambrian model age (T (DM) = 581–916 Ma), which corroborates its juvenile nature and an important depleted mantle component in their source. The oldest unit of the KTFZ, the Bugotak volcanic complex formed at the Givetian–Early Frasnian transition, at about 380 Ma. Upper Devonian detrital deposits of the KTFZ were formed in the Early Palaeozoic accretion belt of the Siberian continent and specifically in a passive continental margin environment. Deposits of the Gorlovo foreland basin, adjoining the KTFZ, were accumulated as a result of erosion of the Carboniferous–Early Permian volcanic rocks, which are now buried under the Meso–Cenozoic sedimentary cover of the West Siberian Basin. The magmatic events, recorded in the KTFZ zircon data, correspond to the most significant magmatic stages that affected the western part of the CAOB as a whole.
