英文摘要 | Most m & eacute;langes in exhumed subduction-accretion complexes are polygenetic, recording significant information about the nature of geological processes during their formation. Here, we apply micro-chemical analysis and illite K-Ar dating to constrain the deformation mechanism and timing of the pervasively sheared scaly matrix in the accretionary complex rocks presently known as "Kenting M & eacute;lange" in the Hengchun Peninsula (South Taiwan). Our results reveal that parts of the matrix were formed in Cretaceous (96.7 +/- 8.6 Ma and 108 +/- 18.4 Ma) due to pressure solution. These new, older matrix ages suggest that the Kenting M & eacute;lange, which was considered as Cenozoic and interpreted to have been associated with the subduction of the South China Sea, preserves different primary chaotic units (e.g., m & eacute;lange and/or olistostrome). Our findings imply the Kenting M & eacute;lange is actually polygenetic and allow part of Kenting M & eacute;lange that we named the "proto-Kenting M & eacute;lange" to be interpreted as a remnant of a primary m & eacute;lange, which was mixed and/or juxtaposed in the Cenozoic Kenting M & eacute;lange. The block-in-matrix fabric with a pervasively sheared scaly muddy matrix, along with the preservation of slightly older oceanic crust blocks, suggests that the proto-Kenting M & eacute;lange is most likely an ocean plate stratigraphy m & eacute;lange. This unit initially formed near a Paleo-Pacific subduction margin during the latest Early Cretaceous. Our results reveal a nearly 3000-km-long physical archive of latest Early Cretaceous subduction-accretion processes, which took place adjacent to the continental margin of East Asia during the consumption of Paleo-Pacific ocean floor during the latest Mesozoic. |
