The Pengguan tectonic dome of Longmen Mountains, Sichuan Province: Mesozoic denudation of a Neoproterozoic magmatic arc-basin system

Abstract: Neoproterozoic igneous and metamorphic complexes occur as tectonic domes in the LongmenMountains of the western margin of the Yangtze Block, and are important in reconstructing the Rodinian supercontinent and constraining the timing and mechanism of tectonic denudational processes. The Pengguan dome consists of granitic intrusions and metamorphic rocks of the Huangshuihe Group and is tectonically overlain by ductilly deformed Sinian to Paleozoic strata. The plutonic intrusions consist of granites with abundant… Show more

“…The LSFB experienced a protracted tectonic history with multiple deformations during the Indosinian orogeny. Here we compiled 40 Ar/ 39 Ar mica, U‐Pb zircon, and U‐Pb monazite ages of the Mesozoic magmatic and ductile deformation events (110–250 Ma) in the LSFB from the literature (Table S3) [ Arne et al ., ; Kirby et al ., ; Huang et al ., ; Roger et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ; Xiao et al ., ; Xu et al ., ; Yuan et al ., ; Yan et al ., , ; Weller et al ., ; Jolivet et al ., ]. Figure a is a probability histogram of all these data, which display several age peaks, four of which are most prominent, at 220–240 Ma, 180–200 Ma, 150–170 Ma, and 110–140 Ma.…”

“…As illustrated in Figure , the detrital illite ages are 896 ± 34 Ma, 868 ± 47 Ma, and 843 ± 68 Ma, respectively. These results are consistent with the Neoproterozoic intruding time of the Pengguan complex within error [ Ma et al ., ; Yan et al ., ]. The authigenic illite age is 193 ± 4 Ma for PS05, 198 ± 7 Ma for PS09, and 196 ± 13 Ma for SLY.…”

“…Fault-related folds include decollement folds, fault-propagation folds, and fault-bend folds and are commonly associated with thrust assemblages including imbricate thrusts and duplexes [e.g., Boyer and Elliot, 1982;Berger, 1984;Banks and Warburton, 1986;Jamison, 1987;Lacombe et al, 1999;Pfiffner, 2006;Yan et al, 2003aYan et al, , 2008Yan et al, , 2009Yan et al, , 2011 Decollement folds form when displacement along a bedding-parallel decollement fault is transferred into folding of the hanging wall layers. Decollement folds are characterized by a decollement that defines the downward termination of the fold and an incompetent, ductile basal unit thickened in the core of the fold with no visible thrust ramp (Figure 1a) [Suppe and Medwedeff, 1990;Erslev, 1991;Shaw et al, 2003].…”
