摘要 :

Subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate during the late Mesozoic is thought to have been responsible for the destruction of the North China craton, manifested by intense volcanism, lithospheric deformation, and dramatic changes in surface morphology and terrestrial ecosystems. However, the timing and correlations of these consequential events remain obscure. This issue was addressed here by carrying out a high -resolution geochronologic study on the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous sequences of the Luanping basin, northern Hebei Province, China. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (CA-ID-IRMS) zircon U-Pb ages from samples near the boundaries of the stratigraphic units help to redefine the chronostratigraphic framework of this basin and more importantly reveal that the second phase of the Yanshanian orogeny, representing a tectonic transition from flat to steep subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate, occurred within 0.87 +/- 0.10 m.y. between 134.162 +/- 0.091 Ma and 133.295 +/- 0.043 Ma. Crustal extension then followed and resulted in development of rift basins and vigorous volcanism. The Jehol Biota came into being in Lower Cretaceous successions formed after ca. 130 Ma. The late Mesozoic Luanping basin therefore records how the subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate drove intracontinental orogeny, volcanism, basin development, and ecosystem evolution.
