“…Locally (e.g. in the western part of South Kitakami), the series contains 'Usiginu-type' conglomerates at its base, which are usually constituted of large granitic as well as limestone boulders (Yoshida and Machiyama, 2004). In general, the Toyoma Series is poorly fossiliferous, but a few important ammonoid fossils have been found, including Xenodiscus cf.…”

“…10) can be regarded as a Gondwana-derived terrane that documents the entire Paleozoic geodynamic evolution. It comprises a nearly complete and coherent Silurian to Early Cretaceous sedimentary succession that rests on the Miyamori ophiolite and possibly on minor granitic and metamorphic basement of Ordovician age (Tazawa, 2002;Ishiwatari and Tsujimori, 2003;Sakashima and others, 2003;Yoshida and Machiyama, 2004). The Paleozoic strata contain abundant fossil fauna and flora, which document that South Kitakami was part of Gondwana in the Silurian and Devonian, then broke away from this supercontinent and subsequently drifted northward (for instance, Ehiro, 2000;and references in Tazawa, 2002).…”

We obtained 453.2 ± 1.8 Ma and 449.4 ± 1.8 Ma (2{sigma}) laser step-heating 40Ar/39Ar plateau ages for phengite from quartzite mylonites from the blueschist-facies Ondor Sum subduction-accretion complex in Inner Mongolia (northern China). These ages are within error of the inverse isochron ages calculated using the plateau steps and the weighted mean ages of total fusion of single grains. The compositional change from glaucophane in the cores to crossite in the rims of blue amphiboles, as revealed by electron microprobe analysis, points to decompression, probably caused by progressive exhumation of the subducted material. The Late Ordovician ages were not affected by excess argon incorporation because in all likelihood the oceanic sediments were wet on arrival at the trench and free of older detrital mica. The ca. 450 Ma ages are, hence, interpreted as the time of crystallization during mylonitization under high fluid activity at fairly low temperatures. This means that accretion of the quartzite mylonite unit occured about 200 Ma before final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean, amalgamation of the Siberian, Tarim and North China cratons, and formation of the end-Permian Solonker suture zone. We argue that the Early Paleozoic evolution of the Ondor Sum complex occurred along the northeastern Cimmerian margin of Gondwana, which was composed of micro-continents fringed by subduction-accretion complexes and island arcs. The later evolution took place during the building of the Eurasian continent following middle Devonian and younger rifting along the East Gondwanan margin and northward drift of the detached North China craton. An extensive review shows that this type of two-stage scenario probably also applies to the geodynamic evolution of other micro-continents like, South China, Tarim, a number of Kazakh terranes, Alashan, Qaidam and Kunlun, as well as South Kitakami and correlatives in Japan, and probably Indochina. Like the North China craton, these were bordered by Early Paleozoic subduction-accretion complexes, island arcs or contained calc-alkaline volcanic margins, like for example, the central Tienshan, North Qinling, North Qaidam-Altun, North Qilian and Kunlun belts in China, as well as the Oeyama and Miyamori ophiolites and Matsugadaira-Motai blueschist belt of Japan and the dismembered Sergeevka ophiolite of the southern part of the Russian Far East. This implies that a vast orogenic system, comprising an archipelago of micro-continents, seems to have existed along the Cimmerian margin of East Gondwana in Early Paleozoic time in which the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism that characterizes the early evolution of many of the Asian micro-continents occurred

“…The igneous activity involved the intrusion of mafic magma and felsic volcanism, producing gabbroic, amphibolite to granodiorite, and silicic volcanic rocks (ca. 350-300 Ma;Arakawa 1984;Arakawa et al 2000;Yoshida and Machiyama 2004). U-Pb zircon ages and Sr-Nd isotope systematics of these igneous rocks suggest that the Hida-Oki belt was situated in an active continental margin, an immature volcanic arc and/or a back-arc basin in Late Carboniferous and Permian time (Takeuchi 1994;Kawajiri 2005).…”

The deformed and metamorphosed middle Pennsylvanian to Early Triassic (?) rocks of the Pyeongan Supergroup, occurring in northeastern flank of the Paleozoic Taebaeksan Basin, east central South Korea, record the impact of the Late Permian-Triassic Songrim (Indosinian) collisional orogeny in the eastern Eurasia margin. Analysis of meso-and microstructures and their relationship with porphyroblast growth has revealed that these metasedimentary rocks were affected by four deformation events (D 1 -D 4 ). During the polyphase deformations, successive foliations with alternately steep (S 1 and S 3 ) and flat-lying (S 2 and S 4 ) orientations were produced with growth of chloritoid, andalusite and kyanite porphyroblasts during D 1 and D 2 , and growth of garnet, staurolite and andalusite porphyroblasts during D 3 and D 4 . SHRIMP U-Pb detrital zircon ages (330-310 Ma) from metapelites in the oldest unit of the Pyeongan Supergroup in the study area, combined with the previous data on sandstone compositions, indicate magmatic activity that was contemporaneous with the initial deposition of the Pyeongan Supergroup. This also suggests that the Pyeongan Supergroup was deposited in an arc-related foreland basin at an active continental margin during the Late Carboniferous and Permian time. Two contractional deformation events (D 1 and D 3 ) and two events related to gravitational flattening (D 2 and D 4 ), along with Barroviantype medium-pressure regional metamorphism, may have resulted from the Late Permian-Triassic Songrim orogeny, related to collision between the North and South China blocks and/or collision between the Eastern Eurasia margin and the proto-Japan terrane.
