“…The mean track lengths (MTL) of samples vary from 11.08 μm (Pu434) to 12.91 μm (YC2) with corresponding standard deviation of 1.47 to 2.45 μm (Table and Figures and ). This result is in agreement with the results of MTL (11.2 ± 2.1 to 12.5 ± 2.7 μm) from previous AFTA studies in the Songliao Basin (Xiang et al, , ). Specifically, the values of MTL in the central downwarp (from 11.08 μm to 11.84 μm) are all less than 12 μm, shorter than those of the peripheral uplift zone (from 11.69 μm to 12.91 μm).…”

Post‐rift Tectonic History of the Songliao Basin, NE China: Cooling Events and Post‐rift Unconformities Driven by Orogenic Pulses From Plate Boundaries

et al. 2018

The classic lithosphere‐stretching model predicts that the post‐rift evolution of extensional basin should be exclusively controlled by decaying thermal subsidence. However, the stratigraphy of the Songliao Basin in northeastern China shows that the post‐rift evolution was punctuated by multiple episodes of uplift and exhumation events, commonly attributed to the response to regional tectonic events, including the far‐field compression from plate margins. Three prominent tectonostratigraphic post‐rift unconformities are recognized in the Late Cretaceous strata of the basin: T11, T03, and T02. The subsequent Cenozoic history is less constrained due to the incomplete record of younger deposits. In this paper, we utilize detrital apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology to unravel the enigmatic timing and origin of post‐rift unconformities. Relating the AFT results to the unconformities and other geological data, we conclude that in the post‐rift stage, the basin experienced a multiepisodic tectonic evolution with four distinct cooling and exhumation events. The thermal history and age pattern document the timing of the unconformities in the Cretaceous succession: the T11 unconformity at ~88–86 Ma, the T03 unconformity at ~79–75 Ma, and the T02 unconformity at ~65–50 Ma. A previously unrecognized Oligocene unconformity is also defined by a ~32–24 Ma cooling event. Tectonically, all the cooling episodes were regional, controlled by plate boundary stresses. We propose that Pacific dynamics influenced the wider part of eastern Asia during the Late Cretaceous until Cenozoic, whereas the far‐field effects of the Neo‐Tethys subduction and collision processes became another tectonic driver in the later Cenozoic.

Meanwhile an extensional setting dominated on the continental margin (Figure 2f) in the Sikhote‐Alin belt (Liu et al., 2020) and Liaodongwan basin (Figure 2e; Cheng et al., 2015; Yang et al., 2021; Zhou et al., 2022) along with the opening of the Bohai Sea (Figure 2e; Zhu & Xu, 2019).…”

The link between subduction and continental exhumation is explored using high‐resolution thermal histories from southern Great Xing'an Range (GXR), NE Asia and integrated with a regional low‐temperature thermochronology data synthesis from the NE Asian continental margin. The GXR thermal histories are constrained by multiple thermo‐, geochronometers (zircon, titanite, apatite U‐Pb, zircon, apatite (U‐Th)/He and apatite fission track). These data yield a large range in U‐Pb ages (292–119 Ma) with enhanced exhumation mainly during the early Cretaceous (ca. 155–110 Ma) in an extensional regime linked to roll‐back of the Paleo‐Pacific Ocean and consequent lithospheric thinning and delamination. Integrated with Cretaceous‐Cenozoic low‐temperature thermochronological data from the NE Asian continent margin, three regional phases of exhumation are recognized, which can be linked to changes in the geometry and kinematics of the subduction systems of the Paleo‐Pacific and Pacific oceans, demonstrating coupling between the subducting plate and the continental margin at active plate boundaries.

“…After eruption in the Early Cretaceous, the Yingcheng Formation volcanic rocks in the Songliao Basin were formed after experiencing dissolution, cooling, crystallization and some other consolidation (approximately 156-125 Ma) (Sun et al 2008;Meng et al 2010;Shao et al 2013;Xiang et al 2013;Zhang et al 2013a, b). Then the formation was covered directly by overlying sedimentary strata after short periods of hydrothermal fluids and weathering and leaching between eruption intermissions.…”

Characterized by complex lithology and strong heterogeneity, volcanic reservoirs in China developed three reservoir space types: primary pores, secondary pores and fractures. The formation of reservoir space went through the cooling and solidification stage (including blast fragmentation, crystallization differentiation and solidification) and the epidiagenesis stage (including metasomatism, filling, weathering and leaching, formation fluid dissolution and tectonism). Primary pores were formed at the solidification stage, which laid the foundation for the development and transformation of effective reservoirs. Secondary pores were formed at the epidiagenesis stage, with key factors as weathering and leaching, formation fluid dissolution and tectonism. In China, Mesozoic-Cenozoic volcanic rocks developed in the Songliao Basin and Bohai Bay Basin in the east and Late Paleozoic volcanic rocks developed in the Junggar Basin, Santanghu Basin and Tarim Basin in the west. There are primary volcanic reservoirs and secondary volcanic reservoirs in these volcanic rocks, which have good accumulation conditions and great exploration potential.
