“…Though the w1800 Ma detrital zircons occurred both in the North China Craton and NE China (Yang et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2009a;Zhang et al, 2009a,b;Zhou et al, 2010aZhou et al, ,b, 2011aWan et al, 2011;Zhai, 2011;Zhang et al, 2013;Zhou and Wilde, 2013), the w500 Ma metamorphic event only took place at NE China (Zhou et al, 2010a(Zhou et al, ,b, 2011aZhou and Wilde, 2013). Thus, based on the fact that the zircon populations of the Linxi Formation in the Linxi area are similar to zircon populations in NE China (Fig.…”

No evidence show that the w500 Ma granulite facies event occurred in the NCC.…”

a b s t r a c tThe Linxi Formation occupies an extensive area in the eastern Inner Mongolia in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The Linxi Formation is composed of slate, siltstone, sandstone and plant, lamellibranch microfossils in the associated strata. Major and trace element data (including REE) for sandstones from the formation indicate that these rocks have a greywacke protolith and have been deposited during a strong tectonic activity. LA-ICPMS UePb dating of detrital zircons yield ages of 1801 to 238 Ma for four samples from the Linxi Formation. 425e585 Ma, together with the w500 Ma age for the metamorphism event previously determined for Northeast China, indicates that their provenance is the metamorphic rocks of Pan-African age that have a tectonic affinity to NE China. A few older zircons with UePb ages at 1689e1801 Ma, 1307e1414 Ma, 593e978 Ma are also present, revealing the Neoproterozoic history of NE China. The youngest population shows a peak at ca. 252 Ma, suggesting that the main deposition of the Linxi Formation was at late Permain. Moreover, the ca. 250 Ma zircon grains of all four samples yield weighted mean 206 Pb/ 238 U ages of 250 AE 3 Ma, 248 AE 3 Ma, 249 AE 3 Ma, and 250 AE 2 Ma, respectively. These ages, together with the youngest zircon age in the sample ZJB-28 (ca. 238 Ma), suggest that the deposition of the Linxi Formation extended to the early Triassic. Combining with previous results, we suggest that the final collision of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) in the southern of Linxi Formation, which located in the SolonkereXra MoroneChangchun suture, and the timing for final collision should be at early Triassic.Ó 2015, China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and Peking University.

We revised the stratigraphy of the Hitachi metamorphic district, based on supplementary U-Pb SHRIMP zircon ages and a review of the geochronological data available for this district. Early to late Cambrian formations and intrusives are grouped into the Cambrian Hitachi volcano-plutonic complex, which consists of the Akazawa Formation, the Tamadare Formation, meta-granites and meta-porphyry. Post-Silurian mica gneiss that occurs near the Tamadare Formation is newly defined as the Takizawa Formation, distinct from the Tamadare Formation. The Daioin and Ayukawa formations are early Carboniferous and early Permian in age, respectively. The contact between the Hitachi volcano-plutonic complex and the Daioin Formation is marked by a prolonged hiatus. There are no geochronological data available for the Omika Formation.Zircon U-Pb age data of the Nishidohira Formation indicate deposition during the Early Cretaceous. The Nishidohira Formation was intruded by Ma granitoids and was metamorphosed during -Ma under conditions of the amphibolite facies, kyanite-sillimanite zone. Sedimentation, metamorphism and exhumation, and intrusion of granitic magma in the terrain of the Nishidohira Formation occurred over a short period of time during the Cretaceous. A similar rapid metamorphism and exhumation is also recorded in the Takanuki metamorphic rocks of the Abukuma Belt.We reconstructed the basement of the Northeast Japan Arc for the period before the opening of the Japan Sea, assuming that the Median Tectonic Line had a linear trend from the Southwest Japan Arc to the Northeast Japan Arc during the Paleogene. After the reconstruction, the Paleozoic Hitachi Formations and the Abukuma Belt move closer to the Jiamusi and Khanka blocks of Northeast China. This result indicates that the Cambrian Hitachi volcano-plutonic complex was originally marginal part of the North China Block.

Paleo-Pacific subduction-accretion: Evidence from Geochemical and U-Pb zircon dating of the Nadanhada accretionary complex, NE China

The Nadanhada Terrane, located along the eastern margin of Eurasia, contains a typical accretionary complex related to paleo-Pacific plate subduction-accretion. The Yuejinshan Complex is the first stage accretion complex that consists of meta-clastic rocks and metamafic-ultramafic rocks, whereas the Raohe Complex forms the main parts of the terrane and consists of limestone, bedded chert, and mafic-ultramafic rocks embedded as olistolith blocks in a weakly sheared matrix of clastic meta-sedimentary rocks. Geochemical data indicate that the Yuejinshan metabasalts have normal mid-ocean ridge basalt (N-MORB) affinity, whereas the Raohe basaltic pillow lavas have an affinity to ocean island basalts (OIB). Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb zircon analyses of gabbro in the Raohe Complex yield a weighted mean 206 Pb/ 238 U zircon age of 216 ± 5 Ma, whereas two samples of granite intruded into the complex yield weighted mean 206 Pb/ 238 U zircon ages of 128 ± 2 and 129 ± 2 Ma. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon analyses of basaltic pillow lava in the Raohe Complex define a weighted mean age of 167 ± 1 Ma. Two sandstone samples in the Raohe Complex record younger concordant zircon weighted mean ages of 167 ± 17 and 137 ± 3 Ma. These new data support the view that accretion of the Raohe Complex was between 170 and 137 Ma, and that final emplacement of the Raohe Complex took place at 137-130 Ma. The accretion of the Yuejinshan Complex probably occurred between the 210 and 180 Ma, suggesting that paleo-Pacific plate subduction was initiated in the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic.
