“…Many different techniques have been employed to determine the provenance change and tectonic activity in sedimentary basins among which the detrital apatite fission track method has proven to be the most sensitive to record provenance change (Sobel and Dumitru, 1997;Rohrman et al, 1996;Garver et al, 1999;Ruiz et al, 2004;Coutand et al, 2006;Zheng et al, 2006;Glotzbach et al, 2011;Patel et al, 2014). But so far, there has been no comparable study of detrital apatite fission track ages from the key Tiejianggou section of the Subei Basin.…”

“…3-24 h at 240 C. Before thermal neutron irradiation from FRM-II, Germany, a thin muscovite plate (external detector) of low-U content (<5 ppb) was added on the polished mounts to obtain the induced track densities. The induced tracks on mica were revealed after etching in 48% HF at room temperature for 3-5 min (Patel et al, 2014).…”

“…This is based on the spontaneous fission of U 238 in a crystal lattice, which produces submicroscopic linear damage traces (fission tracks) and etching analysis revealed fission tracks that could be observed under an optical microscope. It is widely used to study the provenance and thermal history of the foreland basin (Jain et al, 2009; Patel et al, 2014). In this study, detrital apatite and zircon minerals were extracted from seven sandstone samples of the Siwalik Group of the Kumaun region (Figure 2b).…”

“…Before thermal neutron irradiation from FRM‐II, Germany, a thin muscovite plate (external detector) of low‐U content (<5 ppb) was added on the polished mounts to obtain the induced track densities. The induced tracks on mica were revealed after etching in 48% HF at room temperature for 3–5 min (Patel et al, 2014). The spontaneous or induced track densities were determined on internal mineral surfaces using an Olympus BX‐50 microscope with 100x dry lens and total magnification of 1250× (see the FT data; Table 2).…”

Fission‐track (FT) thermochronological analysis of detrital apatite and zircon derived from the lower and middle Siwalik Group of the sub‐Himalaya allows the reconstruction of the long‐term exhumation history of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) and Lesser Himalayan Sequence (LHS), and also the provenance of the Siwalik sediments. Here, we report 14 detrital apatite and zircon fission‐track (AFT/ZFT) ages of lower and middle Siwalik subgroups of the Kumaun region, northwest Himalaya. Detrital FT ages suggest that all sandstone samples were never buried below the temperature range of 90° to 100°C and remained as unreset to retain a signal of source‐area exhumation. A detrital AFT age from sandstone sample at close proximity to the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) is 4.4 ± 0.5 Ma (Pliocene time) which is completely reset and younger than the depositional age, while the detrital ZFT ages of the same sample are unrest. The AFT age represents the time of reactivation of the MBT during which ZFT ages were not affected. This study revealed that the provenances of Siwalik sediments are located majorly in the MBT hinterland areas and the nearest sources are Amritpur granite, the outer Lesser Himalayan meta‐sedimentary (LHMS) zone, Almora klippe, Ramgarh thrust sheet, and the overlying Tethyan Himalayan Sequence. These source areas can be attributed to the development of local drainage networks in the Ramganga‐Kosi drainage basin during late Miocene to Pliocene (i.e., ~9 to 4 Ma). Based on detrital FT datasets, it has been envisaged that different tectonic activities in the MBT hinterland area between Miocene and Pliocene Periods cause the tectonic upliftment and exhumation of source areas and supply the sediment to the Siwalik foreland basin.

“…Fission-track (FT) thermochronology was developed on the basis of the closure temperature theory and the concept of cooling age, which effectively records tectonic events in the low-temperature range and recovers corresponding geothermal histories (Gleadow et al, 1986;Gallagher et al, 1998;Ruiz et al, 2004;Ketcham et al, 2018;Tian et al, 2020a). FT thermochronology has been widely used in a variety of studies, including analysis of the thermal history of sedimentary basins, rock uplift rates, constrained stratigraphy ages, and the tectonic evolution of basins (Zhu et al, 2005;Patel et al, 2014;Ge et al, 2016;Ansberque et al, 2018;Jian et al, 2018;Bernet, 2019;Zattin and Wang, 2019;Peng et al, 2020;Tian et al, 2020b He et al, 2022a;He et al, 2022b). We studied the tectonic thermal evolution, including the peak age, of the northern Junggar Basin during the Yanshanian via zircon and apatite FT (AFT) dating.…”

The Junggar Basin is a multicycle intracontinental sedimentary basin developed on the pre-Mesozoic deformed basement. For a long time, the Junggar Basin and its adjacent Altai orogeny have been a focus of debate for geologists studying the opening and closing history of the Paleozoic Asian Ocean and Cenozoic intracontinental deformation. However, there has been no detailed research on the intracontinental tectonic activities of northern Xinjiang since the Mesozoic, particularly the Yanshanian tectonic activities in the northern Junggar Basin. Fission-track (FT) dating was conducted on 15 apatite samples and eight zircon samples obtained from the northern Junggar Basin to better understand the Yanshanian tectonic evolution. The results showed that apatite FT (AFT) ages ranged from 131 to 42 Ma and zircon FT ages ranged from 205 to 132 Ma. Based on the AFT track thermal history modeling and the regional geological data, we proposed that the northern Junggar Basin underwent three tectonic thermal events during 165–161, 93–81, and 72–66 Ma. The thermal events of 165–161 Ma may indicate magmatic activity during the Yanshanian, while the 93–86 and 72–66 Ma events reflect Late Cretaceous uplift and cooling. This study has confirmed the tectonic evolution of the Yanshanian in the northern Junggar Basin from the perspective of thermochronology. It has also revealed that the Yanshanian orogeny, a regional tectonic event, may have also occurred in northwest China.
