“…There are also Early Cretaceous volcanics and I‐type and S‐type granitoids (Kruk et al, ). The central Sikhote‐Alin is mostly composed of the deformed Zhuravlevka turbidite basin, minor mid‐Cretaceous granitoids rocks, and the Kiselevka‐Manoma Hauterivian‐Early Albian accretionary prism (Markevich et al, ). The eastern Sikhote‐Alin mainly consists of Late Cretaceous to Paleogene ignimbrites and granitoids (Grebennikov & Popov, ; Tang et al, ).…”

“…Although global reviews and regional studies accept the existence of a Late Mesozoic continental arc along the eastern margin of NE Asia, the Cretaceous tectonic evolution of the continental arc and back‐arc system remains controversial. A 130–115‐Ma island arc system was proposed (Markevich et al, ; Grebennikov et al, ; Khanchuk et al, ) based on recognition of (1) the Early Cretaceous Kema island arc in the east Sikhote‐Alin and (2) by the Early Cretaceous Zhuravlevka‐Amur turbidite back‐arc basin. Other competing tectonic models for the Late Cretaceous include an offshore convergent boundary, distal to the Asian continental margin (e.g., Bazhenov et al, ), and a continent‐continent collision responsible for the Late Cretaceous intraplate compression in NE China (Zhang et al, ).…”

Continental Arc and Back‐Arc Migration in Eastern NE China: New Constraints on Cretaceous Paleo‐Pacific Subduction and Rollback

Tectonic evolution models for the Cretaceous Russia Sikhote-Alin and eastern NE China continental margin and interior remain controversial. To understand the magmatic evolution over time and assess regional geodynamic processes, we sampled a diverse array of igneous rocks and employed zircon U-Pb dating, hornblende and plagioclase 40 Ar-39 Ar dating, whole-rock major and trace element analysis, and 87 Sr/ 86 Sr and 143 Nd/ 144 Nd isotopic analysis. The west Sikhote-Alin Pikeshan Formation volcanics and associated granites occurred at a peak of~118 Ma and are hosted by the Triassic-Jurassic accretionary complex. Their whole rock geochemistry shows that SiO 2 increased in a linear trend, Eu/Eu* values decreased from 0.91 to 0.38, and ε Nd (t) values decreased from +0.6 to À2.9, indicating magma mixing of a juvenile mantle wedge source and continental crust, consistent with a continental arc. The arc thickened over time with a felsic dike hosted in the Pikeshan granites showing depletion in heavy rare earth elements. The termination of the arc front is documented by the~107-Ma intermediate lamprophyre and felsic dikes with ε Nd (t) values of +4.5 to +1.1, indicating an increased mantle contribution over time. Lithospheric extension of the Jiamusi Block to the west occurred at~100 Ma, characterized by bimodal volcanism and composite dike emplacement, suggestive of asthenosphere upwelling. Based on the spatial and temporal distribution of these igneous rocks, the continental arc and intraplate magmatism migrated eastward contemporaneously. We favor a model invoking rollback of the subducting Paleo-Pacific slab affecting a long-lived continental arc.In the Early Cretaceous, the Russian Far East and NE China, Korea, and Japan, as well as the Chinese continental shelf, collectively constituted the eastern Asian continental margin before the opening of the marginal seas (Tang et al., 2016). The integrated continental margin was formed by Paleo-Pacific subduction SUN ET AL. 3893

“…1 (Fig. 1b) consist of a series of volcaniclastic greywackes, arkoses and cherts, mostly derived from the Cretaceous Sikhote-Alin arc (Markevich et al 2007). Because of their distinct provenance, arcderived volcanic minerals dominate all these sequences, mainly clino-and orthopyroxenes, calcic amphibole, magnetite and chromite (Nechaev et al 1997); chromite represents up to 54% of the greywackes, suggesting an ultramafic source.…”

“…However, they show less similarity to the rivers draining the Sikhote -Alin (Anyui and Gur) and Badzhal ranges (Gorin). The latter tributaries are rich in epidote and calcic amphibole, but they also have an elevated component of pyroxene (up to 25% in the Gorin River), reflecting the common occurrence of basic volcanic rocks in their catchments (Markevich et al 2007). They also have a higher chrome-spinel component (0.2-1.0%), a mineral that is rare or absent in the Amur River (,0.2%).…”

This paper uses an extensive dataset from more than 200 samples to provide a comprehensive source-to-sink analysis of the Amur River and its delta in the Russian Far East. The majority of sand-sized sediment in the Amur River and its former delta comes from upstream of the Lesser Khingan Ridge, shown by uniformity of sediment composition in the lower 1700 km of the river. Stable mineral ratios, U-Pb age spectra and garnet geochemistry show little stratigraphic provenance-specific variation in the Neogene delta. This renders Miocene-Pliocene drainage capture models unlikely.The onset of uplift in the delta is marked by a decrease in the apatite-tourmaline index (ATi) in Upper Pliocene offshore well samples, caused by dissolution of apatite as sediments were uplifted and eroded onshore Sakhalin. These wells also show variable ATi and garnet-zircon index (GZi) values in Lower Miocene samples, which could potentially be used for stratigraphic correlation.A positive correlation between GZi values and distance from the river mouth is attributed to hydrodynamic sorting across the delta system. This has negative implications for the use of this stable mineral index and others of a similar hydraulic equivalence as regional correlation tools on a basin scale (.100 km).

“…It is known that tectonic settings of sedimentation are characterized by typomorphic heavy mineral assemblages (Malinovsky and Markevich, 2007;Nechaev and Isphording, 1993;Nechaev et al, 1996;Markevich et al, 2007). Examination of the heavy mineral assemblages of sandstones from the Zhurav levka terrane in the MF-MT-GM diagram (Nechaev et al, 1996) (Fig.…”

The structure, mineralogical petrographic composition, and formation settings of the Berria sian-Albian terrigenous rocks of the Zhuravlevka terrane (Central Sikhote Alin) are considered. The rocks are interpreted as sediments accumulated in a virtually nonvolcanic basin along the transform plate boundary. Judging from the composition of terrigenous rocks, the main sources of clastic material were represented by the eroded granitic metamorphic rocks of a mature continental crust, and, possibly, granitoid intrusions of ancient arc roots. Genetic features of the sediments suggest their accumulation on the shelf, underwater slope, foothill, and the adjacent basin plains of an oceanward open marginal sea.
