“…The~60-120/140°C window (± 2-4 km crustal depth) is known as the Apatite Partial Annealing Zone (APAZ) and depends partly on the chemical composition of the apatite crystal (e.g. Barbarand et al, 2003;Carlson et al, 1999;Green et al, 1986;Wagner and Van den haute, 1992). In this temperature window, tracks can accumulate but are progressively shortened (partial annealing), resulting in reduced mean track lengths and broader length-frequency distributions .…”

International audienceThe Ili-Balkhash Basin in southeastern Kazakhstan is located at the junction of the actively deforming mountain ranges of western Junggar and the Tien Shan, and is therefore part of the southwestern Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The basement of the Ili-Balkhash area consists of an assemblage of mainly Precambrian microcontinental fragments, magmatic arcs and accretionary complexes. Eight magmatic basement samples (granitoids and tuffs) from the Ili-Balkhash area were dated with zircon U-Pb LA-ICP-MS and yield Carboniferous to late Permian (~ 350-260 Ma) crystallization ages. These ages are interpreted as reflecting the transition from subduction to (post-) collisional magmatism, related to the closure of the Junggar-Balkhash Ocean during the Carboniferous – early Permian and hence, to the final late Paleozoic accretion history of the ancestral Central Asian Orogenic Belt. Apatite fission track (AFT) dating of 14 basement samples (gneiss, granitoids and volcanic tuffs) mainly provides Cretaceous cooling ages. Thermal history modeling based on the AFT data reveals that several intracontinental tectonic reactivation episodes affected the studied basement during the late Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Late Mesozoic reactivation and associated basement exhumation is interpreted as distant effects of the Cimmerian collisions at the southern Eurasian margin and possibly of the Mongol-Okhotsk Orogeny in SE Siberia during the Jurassic – Cretaceous. Following tectonic stability during the Palaeogene, inherited basement structures were reactivated during the Neogene (constrained by Miocene AFT ages of ~ 17–10 Ma). This late Cenozoic reactivation is interpreted as the far-field response of the India-Eurasia collision and reflects the onset of modern mountain building and denudation in southeast Kazakhstan, which seems to be at least partially controlled by the inherited basement architecture

“…3b). This may have resulted from the compositional effect of the apatite FT data (e.g., Barbarand et al, 2003;Vassallo et al, 2007) due to some difference of the mean Dpar values (1.5 ± 0.2-2.4 ± 0.3 lm) ( Table 1). …”

“…In AFT are shortened during heating at a rate dependent on the temperature, duration of heat ing, crystallographic orientation (Green and Durrani 1977;Galbraith and Laslett 1988;Galbraith 2002;Donelick et al 1999;Ketcham 2003), and chemical composition mainly in terms of F and Cl contents (Green et al 1985Donelick 1993;Burtner et al 1994;Barbarand et al 2003). The result of this annealing process is that the initial length of 15 16)lm is shortened if the heating temperature is in the range of 60 120°C during geological time scales.…”
