Abstract:

The differences between transverse and longitudinal magnetism or density on both sides of a fault are reflected in gravity and magnetic anomalies. Therefore, the gravity and magnetic anomaly data provide a scientific basis for in-depth studies of key geological research topics, such as the base properties, fault formation characteristics and magma distribution in the Tanlu fault zone. The 1∶50000 scale gravity and magnetic anomaly maps of the Tanlu fault zone were drawn using the up-to-date high-precision airborne gravity data, aeromagnetic data and ground gravity data. Combined with the regional geological data, the characteristics of gravity and magnetic anomalies were also analyzed. The results indicated the existence of an ancient conjoined Tanlu-Dabie structural belt, where the southern segment of the Tanlu fault zone reflects the magmatic activities in the Proterozoic-Middle Yanshan period, while the entire fault zone defines the boundary between the southern North China block and the Yangtze block in the Mesoproterozoic-Neoproterozoic era. A comparison of the magnetic and gravity anomaly maps showed an eastward expansion of the Hefei Basin over geological time.

Key words: Tanlu-Dabie structural belt, Hefei Basin, airborne gravity and magnetism, basement property, magmation, North China Southeast border
