Tectonics of the Middle Triassic intracontinental Xuefengshan Belt, South China: new insights from structural and chronological constraints on the basal décollement zone
In orogenic belts, a basal décollement zone often develops at depth to accommodate the shortening due to folding and thrusting of the sedimentary cover. In the Early Mesozoic intracontinental Xuefengshan Belt of South China, such a décollement zone is exposed in the core of anticlines formed by the emplacement of the late-orogenic granitic plutons. The detailed, multi-scale structural analysis ...
متن کاملTectonics of SE China: New insights from the Lushan massif (Jiangxi Province)
In south China the Lushan massif forms a Jurassic through Early Triassic [e.g., Mattauer et al., 1985, topographic high of the South China Block south of the 1991; Okay et al., 1993; Hacker et al., 1996; Gilder et al., Qinling-Dabie belt. The Lushan massif consists of two main 1999]. The noah directed continental subduction of south lithotectonic units separated by a major tectonic ontact: a Ch...
متن کاملA paleomagnetic reinvestigation of the Upper Devonian Perry Formation: evidence for Late Paleozoic remagnetization
In view of the recent recognition of widespread Late Paleozoic remagnetization of Devonian formations across North America, we undertook a reinvestigation of the Upper Devonian Perry Formation of coastal Maine and adjacent New Brunswick. Thermal demagnetization of samples from the redbeds yielded a characteristic direction (D = 166 ° l = 4 ° ) that fails a fold test. Comparison of the correspon...
متن کاملSedimentation and Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary rocks are one component of the modern threefold classification of rocks. They derive from the lithification of sediments, which are produced in basically two ways: by the mechanical deposition of grains derived from the alteration of other rocks (detrital or clastic rocks), or as chemical precipitates or grains formed organically or inorganically from an aqueous solution. The whole ...
متن کاملMobility of Pangea: Implications for Late Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic Paleoclimate
Several recent analyses of paleomagnetic data support the concept of Pangea, an assemblage of most of the world’s continents that was mobile in terms of large-scale internal deformation and with respect to paleolatitude. The main feature of internal deformation involved the transformation from a Pangea B–type configuration in the late Paleozoic, with northwestern South America adjacent to easte...
