英文摘要 | The Indosinian orogeny plays an important role in the tectonic evolution of the South China block (SCB). As the biggest basin associated with the Indosinian orogeny on the southern margin of the SCB, the Nanpanjiang basin draws great attention in the geological community. Although many advances have been achieved, the time of the tectonic regime transition from extension to compression of the Nanpanjiang basin remains in dispute. In the central Nanpanjiang basin, the Paleozoic and Triassic strata are well outcropped around the Xilin faulted block, which provides an ideal studying object on revealing the basin evolution. In order to reveal the tectonic evolution of the Nanpanjiang basin, we have conducted a detailed sedimentary faces analysis, paleo-current measurement and frame-work clast statistics in the south flank of the Xilin faulted block. Our detailed field investigations show that the Lower Triassic on the south flank of the Xilin faulted block is composed of three subsequences which outcrop one by one in a southward younger order: (1) Tidal flat and lagoon deposits consist of mudstone, marlstone and calcarenite with tuff layers; (2) Mass-transport deposits (MTD) alternated with turbidite fan deposits include conglomerate, pebbly sandstone, fine sandstone and siltstone; and (3) Turbidite fans deposits include medium-coarse sandstone, siltstone and mudstone. The Middle Triassic consists of a sequence of coarse sandstone, fine sandstone, siltstone and mudstone which is interpreted to be a turbidite deposition. The facies' evolution indicates a deepening sediment environment during the Early to Middle Triassic. The paleocurrent and detrital composition analysis indicate that the detritus of the Lower Triassic in the Xilin area were mainly sourced from the Xilin fault block, while the Middle Triassic deposits in the basin were from composed provenances including the Jiangnan orogenic belt, the Kangdian massif, the Yunkai massif, the Emeishan basalt and the faulted blocks. The sediment facies' and provenance evolutions varying with time documented a sedimentary environmental evolution of the Nanpanjiang basin from the isolated carbonate platform to the half-deep sea turbidite basin. The Early Triassic MTD is the direct sedimentary records of the basin opening. The geological facts acquired in this study suggest that the Nanpanjiang basin was controlled by a regional extension regime in the Early Triassic, and the isolated carbonate platform with the Paleozoic strata is faulted blocks formed during the basin opening. In accord with this study, the mafic dikes (ca. 258 similar to 248 Ma) inside the basin intruding into underlying strata of the Lower Triassic and tuff interlayers (ca. 249.4 +/- 1.2Ma) in the Lower Triassic in the Xilin area also suggest an extension regime coeval with the basin opening during the Late Permian and the Early Triassic. The Middle Triassic turbidite fans are dominant deposits in the Nanpanjiang basin, which indicates the basin extension continued to the Middle Triassic. The opening of the Nanpanjiang basin is highly coincident with the closure of a branch of the Paleotethys Ocean in temporal and spatial, indicating that the basin was the part of subduction system of the Paleoethys oceanic lithosphere during the Late Permian to Middle Triassic. The absence of the Upper Triassic in the Napanjiang basin and adjacent areas indicates that the basin extension or subduction of the Paleotethys oceanic lithosphere terminated after the Middle Triassic. |
