Detrital zircon U-Pb age of graphite-hosting meta-sedimentary rocks in the Lüwang-Gaoqiao mélange belt,western Dabie area:Constraints on Mesoproterozoic marine sedimentary events
This paper is the result of geological survey engineering.[Objective]To better understand the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Dabie orogen in the northern margin of Yangtze Block,we demonstrated the geological and geochronological characteristics for sedimentary rocks in the Lüwang-Gaoqiao mélange.[Methods]Geological mapping for the mélange was conducted.LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb isotopic analyses were carried out on the graphite-bearing quartzite.[Results]The graphite-bearing sedimentary rocks in Lüwang-Gaoqiao mélange are dominated by sandstones with high maturity,siliceous argillaceous rock,and carbonaceous.U-Pb dating reveals that the graphite-bearing quartzite has original deposition age of~1.43 Ga,displaying detrital zircon age peaks at 2.55 Ga,2.06 Ga,1.86 Ga and 1.43 Ga.The sedimentary materials mainly came from the basement of the Yangtze Block.[Conclusions]The Mesoproterozoic clastic sedimentary rocks and carbonates from the Lüwang-Gaoqiao mélange were formed in a continental margin setting.They recorded an extensional regime for the Dabie orogen in the northern margin of Yangtze Block,during the break-up of the Columbia supercontinent.
