Abstract:

This paper reports the LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating results of detrital zircons from Hongshan and Heilonggong Formations in Lesser Xing'an Range in order to constrain their formation age and provenance. Most of the detrital zircons are euhedral-subhedral in shape and display striped absorption or oscillatory zoning in CL images, implying their magmatic origin. The dating results of the magmatic zircon indicate that 42 detrital zircons from clayslate stones in Hongshan Formation yield age populations of 747 Ma, 807 Ma, 849 Ma, 903 Ma, 956 Ma, 1167 Ma, and 1811 Ma, implying that the sedimentation of Hongshan Formation could take place after 747 Ma. 97 detrital zircons from clayslate stone in Heilonggong Formation from Yichun yield the age populations of 700 Ma (Pb losing occurred), 805 Ma, 902 Ma, 1764 Ma, 2446 Ma, and 2467 Ma; which suggests that the sedimentation of Heilonggong Formation could take place after 805 Ma because of the Pb losing. Combined with the detrital zircon dating results (wide occurrence of 561 Ma age population) from the Late Paleozoic strata in the study and the adjacent areas, we conclude that the formation ages of Hongshan and Heilonggong formations are between 747 and 561 Ma and between 805 and 561 Ma, respectively; i.e., Neoproterozoic rather than Late Paleozoic as believed previously. Based on the comparison between the age populations of the detrital zircons from the two formations and the geochronological data in the study area, the sediments of the two formations were mainly sourced from the Neoproterozoic stones. Furthermore, the Neoproterozoic magmatic zircons have been identified in this study, to be the evidence of the Neoproterozoic magmatic events in the area. Meanwhile, the presence of detrital zircons with Meso-Paleoproterozoic ages reveals the existence of ancient Precambrian remnants at or near the surface.
