Paleozoic Tectonothermal Evolution in the West Qinling Orogen, Central China: Petrological and Chronological Evidence from Garnet Amphibolites
2023
Overview
The Qinling Complex is located in the core of the northern Qinling Orogen and plays a key role in understanding the tectonic evolution of the Qinling Orogen, but its metamorphic evolution remains controversial. The combined investigation of petrographic observation, zircon U-Pb dating, and phase equilibria modeling for garnet amphibolites from the Tianshui area in the West Qinling Orogen is reported in this study. The results show that the garnet amphibolites record a clockwise P-T path characterized by a pre-TMax decompression heating stage, a temperature peak at P-T conditions of 0.84–0.99 GPa and 869–886 °C, followed by a decompression cooling stage. Zircon U-Pb dating yields four age populations of ~479 ± 4 Ma, ~451 ± 8 Ma, ~411 ± 4 Ma, and ~377 ± 6 Ma. The 479–450 Ma reflects the timing of the pre-TMax high–medium pressure upper amphibolite-facies metamorphism. The metamorphism at peak temperature condition occurred at c.411 Ma and was followed by decompression cooling to c.377 Ma. The Ordovician high–medium pressure metamorphism is related to the continental collision, which is slightly later than the HP–UHP eclogite-facies metamorphism in the East Qinling Orogen. The HT granulite-facies metamorphism at peak temperature condition took place at reduced pressures, suggesting thinning of the collision-thickened orogenic crust. Therefore, the northern West Qinling Orogen experienced a tectonothermal evolution from initial crust thickening to thinning during the Paleozoic collisional orogeny.
