“…In different periods of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic in this area (Wu et al, 2004), the fission track in lowtemperature thermochronology carries rich information such as age, length, and distribution and is an important method for quantitatively and systematically studying the tectonic-thermal evolution of the basin (Gleadow et al, 1986a;Henry et al, 1996;Carter and Moss, 1999). Previous studies have been conducted on fission tracks in the Dasanjiang Basin and its adjacent areas, but most of them were based on outcrop samples (Chen et al, 1997;Huang et al, 1997;Han et al, 2008;Chen, 2016;Zhang, 2019;Zhao, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020). This study uses the low-temperature thermochronology analysis of outcrops and core samples, combined with the structural analysis of seismic profiles and thermal history simulation to quantitatively restore the time, episode, and scale of tectonic inversion after the formation of the unified basin, finely describing the damaged tectonic-thermal evolutionary process of the basin, and discusses the corresponding dynamic mechanisms.…”

The Process of Tectonic Inversion and Disintegration in the Dasanjiang Unified Basin, Northeast China: Constraint From Low-Temperature Thermochronology

The Dasanjiang basin group in Northeast China contains more than ten Mesozoic–Cenozoic sedimentary basins. Much evidence shows that they were a unified large-scale depression lacustrine basin in the Early Cretaceous; however, destruction processes and mechanisms after the formation of the unified lacustrine basin are some of the key issues restricting basic research and oil and gas exploration in the Dasanjiang area. In this study, we carried out low-temperature thermochronology and thermal history inversion on samples from the main basins in the Dasanjiang area to finely restore the destruction process of the unified basin. The results show that since the Early Cretaceous, the Dasanjiang area has experienced three major positive tectonic inversions: 100 Ma~90 Ma, 73 Ma~40 Ma, and 23 Ma~5 Ma. The unified basin was destroyed by compression and uplift and gradually disintegrated. The basin gradually changed from initial unified evolution to differential evolution and finally formed the isolated appearance of each basin. The aforementioned three-stage positive tectonic inversion time limits basically corresponded to the changing periods in the movement direction, subduction angle, and movement speed of the paleo–Pacific Ocean plate. It is believed that the movement and reorganization events of the plates on the Pacific side dominated the formation, destruction, and disintegration of the Dasanjiang prototype basin, which was the main dynamic mechanism of the tectonic evolution of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic basins in the study area and Northeast China.

“…During the Mesozoic Era, the northeastern Asian continental margin was an active continental margin, characterized by a fore-arc region, island arc and retro-arc foreland basin systems (Zhang et al 2019). Subduction processes were likely responsible for uplift and exhumation of the continental margin, thus controlling drainage systems and the architecture of sedimentary basins (Zhang et al 2015;Zhou et al 2020). Many previous studies have investigated surface processes of the northeastern Asian continental margin using information associated with the distribution of magmatism (e.g.…”

The uplift history of northeastern Asian continental margin has been the subject of much debate. The Sanjiang Basin is an ideal area to investigate the uplift history of this margin. We present new data from sandstone petrology, whole-rock geochemistry, U–Pb geochronology and Hf isotopy of detrital zircons to trace the provenance of the basin and to unravel the uplift history of the northeastern Asian continental margin. We investigated the chemical and plagioclase indices of alteration and index of compositional variability (CIA, PIA and ICV, respectively) in samples from two formations. The geochemical proxies indicate that source rocks were subjected to an intensified weathering process. Based on the high SiO2/Al2O3 values and low K2O, we infer that the two basinal strata experienced silicification and insignificant potassium metasomatism. Sandstone petrography is indicative of low degrees of sedimentary sorting, suggesting a proximal deposition. The provenance fingerprints of light rare earth, high-field-strength and transition metal elements indicate that parts of the provenance included recycled sediments, and that first-cycle sediments were derived mainly from felsic rocks with a minor contribution from intermediate and mafic rocks. The combined detrital zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic results constrain the contributions of different source terranes over time. The provenance results, in combination with seismic profile interpretations from the Sanjiang Basin, suggest that the northeastern Asian continental margin experienced at least three stages of uplift, which were driven by subduction initiation of the Paleo-Pacific Ocean during the Jurassic Period, a plate motion change during the Early Cretaceous Epoch, and a shallowing of the slab dip angle during the Late Cretaceous Epoch.
