摘要:

前人将西藏南部特提斯喜马拉雅带加查地区出露的上三叠统中低级变质岩组合“朗杰学群”统认为是一套深海-半深海复理石建造。近来调查研究发现,该晚三叠世地层中实则存在一陡立剪切带(SSB),其南北物质组成、构造变形以及变质作用等存在明显差异。SSB以北具有明显“岩块”+“基质”的增生杂岩特征,“岩块”主要包括变砂岩、灰岩、大理岩、绿片岩、玄武质片岩、变质基性岩、片理化阳起石岩和石榴石云母片岩等;“基质”主要由变质砂板岩、绢云千枚岩和绢云石英千枚岩(千糜岩)等组成,原生沉积构造基本不可见,未见化石保留。然而,SSB以南的地层主要为粗粒—细粒长英质砂岩、泥岩和浅变质板岩组成,重荷模、沟槽模、鲍玛序列、韵律层等原生沉积构造以及遗迹化石十分发育。构造解析表明增生杂岩主要发育两期构造变形:第一期构造变形(D1)表现为顺层剪切形成向北缓倾、具有强烈透入分异面理、长英质脉体新生面理S1,运动方向指示顶部朝南;第二期构造变形(D2)表现为近南北向挤压应力作用形成的向南中-高角度倾斜构造置换面理S2,运动学指示为顶部朝北逆冲剪切,顺劈理发育同构造中基性岩墙。SSB南侧地层主要发育一期近南北向挤压作用形成的褶皱-冲断构造,运动学指示为顶部朝南的逆冲剪切。加查增生杂岩中朝北逆冲叠瓦的构造样式与朗杰学群褶冲带中朝南逆冲叠瓦的构造样式共同构成正花状构造,锆石U-Pb年代学揭示增生杂岩“基质”时代与南部地层时代均为拉丁期—诺利期(242~220 Ma),增生杂岩中“岩块”时代有晚三叠世、晚侏罗世(146 Ma)和早白垩世(144 Ma),表现为“岩块”具有多时代特征。同构造中基性岩墙的形成时代为约56 Ma,代表北侧第二期构造变形事件发生在始新世早期,间接限定第一期构造变形可能发生在古新世—始新世之间。变形构造层次和构造演化研究认为,加查增生杂岩中发育的两期变形分别对应印度被动大陆北缘与亚洲大陆南缘之间的俯冲—增生和碰撞过程,即加查增生杂岩可能为印度被动陆缘俯冲形成。加查增生杂岩与朗杰学群褶冲带构成的正花状构造样式可能代表印度地壳增厚和喜马拉雅造山带隆升,SSB内发育朝南东东缓倾的线理构造,暗示动力学背景可能为始新世晚期印度地壳向亚洲大陆之下斜向俯冲。

Abstract:

The Late-Triassic middle-low metamorphosed rock assemblage exposed in the Gyaca area of the northeastern Tethyan Himalaya, southern Tibet, including the Langjexue Group, had been regarded as a set of abyssal-bathyal flysch strata. This study reveals the Upper-Triassic strata are bounded by a steep shear zone (SSB) where obvious differences in composition, structural deformation and metamorphism between north and south are observed. The northern SSB is characterized by accretionary complex with a “matrix + blocks” structure, with little fossil preserved to reveal its primary sedimentary structure. The “blocks” are mainly composed of meta-sandstone, limestone, marble, green-schist, basaltic schist, metasdiabase, actinolite schist and garnet mica schist, while the “matrix” consists of sandy slate and sericite quartz phyllite (or phyllonite). Strata of the southern SSB chiefly consists of medium-fine grained felsic sandstones, mudstone and epimetamorphic slate. Sandstone layers display flute and groove casts, load casts, parallel lamination and graded bedding, while siltstone or mudstone beds preserve plant stem fossils and fodichnia. Structural analysis shows the Gyaca accretionary complex undergoes two stages of deformation (D1 and D2). D1 is caused by bedding shearing in the top-to-south direction, which results in intensive penetrative foliation (S1) and new-born felsic quartzose veins; and D2 is characterized by middle-high dip angle with southward inclination-replaced foliation (S2), consistent with north-south contraction deformation with top-to-south movement accompanied by syntectonic intermediate-basic veins. Meanwhile, under north-south compression stress, strata on the south side of SSB develop imbricated fold-thrust structure. Zircon U-Pb isotopic chronology reveals the “matrix” of the Gyaca accretionary complex and the southern Langjiexue strata are Latin to Norian (242-220 Ma), while the “blocks” include Late Triassic, Late Jurassic (146 Ma) and Early Cretaceous (144 Ma), showing multi-age characteristics. Besides, the timing of D2 is constrained to be 56 Ma by ages of syntectonic dikes, representing early collision tectonics in the Early Eocene, which further, indirectly, indicates D1 might have occurred during initial to early collision of India-Asia, i.e., in the Paleocene-Eocene. Research on deformation structures and tectonic evolution suggests the two stages of deformation in the Gyaca accretionary complex occur in responses, respectively, to subduction-accretion and early collision between the passive continental margin of India and Asian active margin. That is, the accretionary complex is formed by subduction of the passive continental margin of India, and the fold-thrust structure is induced by contraction of India and Asia. The positive flower-like ‘Gyaca accretionary complex-Langjiexue fold-thrust zone’ structure might represent thickening of the India crustal and uplift of the Himalaya orogenic belt. The development of south-south-east (SEE) lineations within SSB indicates its strike-slip tectonic characteristics, which might suggest diagonally downward collision between India and Asia in the Late Eocene.
