ESR DATING OF THE PALAEOGENE IN MULI BASIN IN THE MIDDLE OF QILIAN MOUNTAINS AND ITS GEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
-
摘要: 对中祁连木里盆地新生代红层进行ESR测年,获得了祁连山地区新生代红层沉积时代及构造变形年代学数据。研究表明,中祁连木里盆地内沉积了巨厚的新生代红层,较好地记录了祁连山隆升历史。盆地最老的新生代地层为始新世由湖相沉积组成的火烧沟组,ESR年龄为40.2~35.3 Ma,与上覆沉积时代为32.6~24.3 Ma的渐新世河湖相沉积组成的白杨河组呈角度不整合接触。构造变形特征与沉积环境的变化说明始新世末与渐新世初木里地区发生了构造变形和山脉的隆升,与祁连山地区新生代早期的隆升有很好的对应关系。Abstract: The technique of ESR was applied to determine the Cenozoic red beds, Muli Basin, therefore, we can get the age of sedimentary and tectonic deformation. The results indicated there were huge thick Cenozoic Red Beds and tectonic deformation geochronological data, well recording the uplift of Qilian Mountains. Based on the ESR dating, the Tertiary sediments include the Eocene to Oligocene Huoshaogou Formation (40.2~35.3 Ma), which consists mainly of lacustrine facies and the Oligocene Baiyanghe Formation (32.6~24.3 Ma), which consists lacustrine and fluvial facies. From late Eocene to early Oligocene, an obvious angular unconformity exists between the upper and lower strata and it can be inferred that Qilian Mountains area has been a tectonic deformation and uplift, which has corresponding connection with the early Cenozoic uplift of Qilian Mountains.
