“…Nevertheless, the occurrence of Early Cretaceous intrusive rocks suggests that a later uplift might have occurred after the formation of the intrusions. Information from sedimentations such as those from the Bohai Bay Basin, the North Yellow Sea Basin and South Yellow Sea Basin also confirmed that the lithosphere thinning continued after the Late Cretaceous (Yoon et al 2010; Guo, Santosh and Li, 2012; S. Z. Li et al 2012 b ; W. Y. Li et al . 2012).…”

Li et al 2012 b ; W. Y. Li et al 2012). The Bohai Bay Basin is an extensional and superimposed Meso-Cenozoic basin, and its rifting began in the Late Cretaceous and continued until the Late Paleogene (Chen et al 2016; Liu et al 2016).…”

“…The North Yellow Sea Basin shows the most conspicuous subsidence history during the Paleogene (W. Y. Li et al 2012). The South Yellow Sea Basin initially rifted during Late Jurassic – Cretaceous and was filled with a thick (~6000 m) Cretaceous to Paleogene nonmarine succession (Shinn, Chough & Hwang, 2010; Yoon et al 2010).…”

Uplift history of the Jiaodong Peninsula, eastern North China Craton: implications for lithosphere thinning and gold mineralization

et al. 2017

The link between lithosphere thinning and formation of world-class gold deposits is well established in the Jiaodong Peninsula within the eastern North China Craton (NCC). However, the timing of initiation and duration of the lithospheric thinning process as well as the depth of formation of the mineralization remain uncertain. Since these parameters are fundamental to formulate exploration strategies, in this study we perform fission track (FT) analysis on zircon and apatite grains in Late Mesozoic granitoid samples from the Jiaodong Peninsula and provide new constraints for the mode and duration of lithospheric evolution and mineralization depth. The zircon FT ages range from 64.3 to 90.9 Ma and those of apatite show a range of 32.8–50.9 Ma. The data collectively display age peaks at ~60–80 and ~30–50 Ma. Reverse modelling of the apatite FT results indicates rapid crustal uplift during ~30–80 Ma in the Jiaodong Peninsula. This period coincides with the timing of maximal sedimentation in the neighboring basins and voluminous basaltic eruptions in the eastern NCC. We suggest that the Jiaodong Peninsula has experienced two stages of crust uplift in the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene as a consequence of the continuing lithosphere thinning, together with the surrounding basins, forming the horst–graben system in the eastern NCC. The Late Mesozoic granitoids are the main wall rocks for gold deposits in Jiaodong, and thus the crust denudation history gathered from the FT data suggest that the gold mineralization formed at depths of c. 6–11 km.
