英文摘要 | Sedimentary rocks in northern Tibet re-cord uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and its potential connection with the evolution of the central Asian aridity, therefore offering a typical example of tectonic-climate link -age. The coarse-grained conglomeratic and sandy red beds of the Lulehe Formation (Fm.) in the northern Qaidam Basin (QB), northern Tibet, have long been held as syn-orogenic sediment accumulation. There is, however, a heated debate on its source area (the Qilian Shan, the east Kunlun Shan, or Qimen Tagh) and initiation age (ca. 52, 25.5, or ca. 21 Ma, respectively). These proposals lead to distinctly different mountain build-ing processes of the giant Qilian Shan dur-ing the Cenozoic. One view argues that the Qilian Shan began to uplift substantially as a simultaneous far-field response to the India -Asia collision at 55-50 Ma. In contrast, oth-ers claim that significant rise of the Qilian Shan and thus northeastward expansion of the Tibetan Plateau did not occur until 19 or 12 Ma. Based on an updated magnetostrati-graphic framework for the Cenozoic sedi-ments in the northern QB, here we conducted structural, paleocurrent, pebble composition, zircon grain shape and surface texture, and detrital geochronological analyses of the Lu-lehe Fm., in the northern QB. The results indicate that the Lulehe Fm. was produced essentially by an initial rush of lithic clasts derived from the deformed Mesozoic sedi-mentary cover, which can be attributed to initial rise of the Qilian Shan since ca. 25 Ma. This finding leads additional credence to the argument that the onset of significant uplift of mountain ranges along the periphery of the plateau occurred nearly synchronously from the latest Oligocene through early Miocene. These prolonged elevated Meso-zoic sediments covering the fold-thrust belts of the northern QB, on the other hand, may have acted as a sustained source of material for the Miocene eolian deposits in the western Chinese Loess Plateau. |
