英文摘要 | The mid-Cretaceous Langshan Formation, which crops out on the north Lhasa subterrane, central Tibet, is composed of a thick carbonate sequence with local volcanic rock and sandstone interlayers. In this study, we present data from the Asuo area, including fossil assemblages within carbonates, detrital zircon U-Pb ages of sandstone interlayers, zircon U-Pb ages and whole-rock geochemistry of andesite interlayers within the Langshan Formation to provide new constraints on the tectonic evolution of north Lhasa subterrane. The fossil assemblage indicates that the Langshan Formation was deposited on a carbonate platform at water depths of approximately 0-50 m during the late Albian to early Cenomanian period. The volcanic rock interlayers (111-109 Ma) primarily consist of high-K calc-alkaline andesites/dacites (SiO2: 56.48-67.03 wt. %; Mg#: 42.5-58.9). These andesites exhibit limited evidence of significant modification by crustal contamination. The high Mg# values and arc-like trace element signatures suggest that the andesites may have resulted from partial melting of the mantle wedge induced by fluids derived from a subducted slab. Furthermore, the lithic fragments within the sandstone interlayers predominantly exhibit characteristics of recycled orogen and arc orogen, indicating that the sandstone was derived from recycled ancient strata and a few magmatic arc materials. Considering the regional paleogeographic context, the carbonate accumulation of the Langshan Formation appears to have occurred nearly simultaneously with a period of high-flux magmatism, long-term slow tectonic subsidence, and the closure of the Meso-Tethys Ocean. The arc-arc soft collision provides a plausible mechanism to explain the widespread and rapid accumulation of thick carbonates in collision settings. It also accounts for the presence of magmatic rocks with enhanced mantle contributions on both sides of the north Lhasa subterrane. |
