Bainang Terrane, Yarlung–Tsangpo suture, southern Tibet (Xizang, China): a record of intra-Neotethyan subduction–accretion processes preserved on the roof of the world
Abstract Nine separate Cambrian to Carboniferous terranes are recognized in West Junggar, northwest China. They were amalgamated as part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt which records accretion of continental, island-arc and oceanic terranes to Archaean-Proterozoic continental nuclei. Tangbale, Kekesayi, Ebinur and Mayila terranes (CambriaN–Silurian) evolved in intra-oceanic settings and docked, along a series of north-dipping subduction zones, on to the Laba terrane to their south. This southern continent was contiguous with lithosphere of the Kulumudi Ocean to the north. Devonian subduction on the northern edge of this ocean resulted in formation of a continental arc (Toli terrane) and accretionary complex (Kulumudi terrane). The Karamay terrane formed as an accretionary complex during the Carboniferous. The ophiolitic Sartuohai terrane was emplaced as mélange between Kulumudi and Karamay terranes during the Late Carboniferous. Subduction migrated southward, continuing beneath these terranes, resulting in the intrusion of I-type granites into the Toli, Kulumudi, Sartuohai and Karamay terranes. These granites are closely associated with epithermal and porphyry-style gold mineralization. Composite terranes either side of the Kulumudi Ocean collided in the Late Carboniferous, marking the final consolidation of Central Asia. Collision was accompanied by anorogenic granite and diabase dyke intrusion, followed by widespread latest Carboniferous to Permian extension, and subsequently the formation of the Junggar Basin. West Junggar has been further disrupted by Cenozoic strike-slip faulting along Junggar and Dalabute faults.
Evidence for the multiphase nature of the India–Asia collision from the Yarlung Tsangpo suture zone, Tibet
Abstract Recent investigations in southern Tibet enable the testing and refinement of existing models for India–Asia collision. Presently available data indicate that marine deposition continued in the southern central portion of Tibet until at least the end of the Eocene. Sub-duction-related magmatism continued until the Mid-Oligocene, after which rapid uplift of the plateau was initiated. Mass-wasting of sediments into molasse basins did not commence until the latest Oligocene. The implications are that existing models, based on less-precise age constraints, invoking India–Asia collision at 55 Ma, are either flawed, or collision began at a different time. Recent work has produced sufficient data to allow the recognition of two different collisional events along the suture between India and Asia. Features related to each event require separate interpretation, and no collisional continuum should be assumed. In southern Tibet, a collision between the northern margin of India and a southfacing intra-oceanic island arc occurred at around 55 Ma, whereas continent–continent collision between India and Asia did not occur until at least 20 million years later.
Conglomerates record the tectonic evolution of the Yarlung–Tsangpo suture zone in southern Tibet
Abstract The histories of individual conglomeratic units along the Yarlung–Tsangpo (River) suture zone in southern Tibet reflect significant phases in the Mesozoic to Cenozoic tectonic evolution of this area. Several temporally distinct conglomerate units are recognized along the suture, and their detailed examination permits analysis of the collision between India and Asia. Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous conglomerates crop out within the Sangri Group along the southern Lhasa terrane. They are dominated by limestone and andesitic volcanic cobbles derived entirely from the Lhasa terrane. These rocks have experienced amphibolite facies metamorphism, and exhibit a strong penetrative regional foliation. Thick successions of the Palaeocene Liuqu Conglomerate crop out within the suture from Xigaze to Lhaze. They contain detritus sourced from intra-oceanic terranes associated with the suture zone, as well as clasts of Indian affinity, while Lhasa and Xigaze terrane-derived material is notably absent. These conglomerates record an early suture zone event prior to India–Asia collision. Uppermost Oligocene to Lower Miocene ‘Gangrinboche facies’ conglomerates crop out on the southern edge of the Lhasa terrane along the length of the suture. Several correlative units within this facies exhibit broadly similar stratigraphic histories. A basal depositional contact upon an eroded Lhasa terrane surface is ubiquitous with initial clast derivation from the north. Up-section, the first arrival of coarse-grained, suture-zone and India-derived clasts, is abrupt. These southerly derived clasts predominate by the top of most sections. An areally restricted succession of gently dipping Late Neogene ultramafic breccias unconformably overlies folded Liuqu Conglomerate near Quanggong. Other Neogene sediments are extensive west of Mount Kailas. Deposition of coarse clastic sediments is presently continuing along the length of the Yarlung Tsangpo. Discrimination and detailed investigation of each of these units will improve our understanding of the evolution of the India–Asia collision.
Devonian radiolarian faunas from South China
Abstract Ophiolitic rocks distributed along the Yarlung Tsangpo suture zone in southern Tibet are the few remaining fragmentary remnants of many thousands of kilometres of the ocean space that formerly existed between India and Eurasia. Portions of mid-Jurassic and mid-Cretaceous intra-oceanic island arcs can be recognized amongst those rocks that have been studied in detail. Complete suprasubduction zone ophiolite successions are preserved in the Dazhuqu terrane, which crops out both east and west of Xigaze. Radiolarians in inter-pillow cherts and immediately overlying sedimentary rocks indicate a Barremian ophiolite generation event. Palaeomagnetic data show that this ophiolite formed at equatorial latitudes south of the Lhasa terrane before its south-directed emplacement onto the northern margin of India. Highly refractory ultramafic rocks in the Luobusa ophiolite appear to be of Mid-Jurassic age and are potentially related to intra-oceanic island arc remnants in the nearby Zedong terrane. Ophiolitic massifs along the suture in western Tibet are thrust southwards onto northern India and record Late Jurassic ocean-floor development. Miocene north-directed back-thrusting associated with India-Asia collision has further complicated interpretation of regional geology. The ophiolitic rocks of the Yarlung Tsangpo suture zone provide evidence for the former existence of multiple oceanic island arc segments within Neotethys and suggest that consumption of the oceanic space between India and Asia was more complicated than has been predicted by existing models.
