“…Thus, the displacement of the terranes is bracketed between 300 and 700 km. This is significantly larger than the previously estimated distance for the offset of the Zhuravlevka and Samarka terranes (200 km; Utkin, 2012), but smaller than most estimations based on paleomagnetic data (over 1,500 km according to Didenko et al [2014] and Ichihashi et al [2015]). The differences between the paleomagnetic and other estimations are the result of several factors.…”

Sedimentary rocks provide key information on source-to-sink systems and the regional expression of plate tectonics. The abruptly changing provenance signature of sedimentary rocks is commonly ascribed to changes in the source regions, such as continental collision events, the rise of mountain chains, reorganization of river systems and climatic change. However, moving the positions of the sinks (depocenters) geographically can also change the provenance record, but this is rarely considered. Typically, large-scale strike-slip faults can transport depocenters for long distances, thus altering the provenance information. In this study, we present a systematic investigation of the provenance changes in the Sikhote-Alin orogenic belt in the Russian Far East to evaluate this process. The Central Sikhote-Alin Fault is a margin-parallel strike-slip fault that developed along the NE Asian continental margin from the late Mesozoic. Our new detrital zircon U-Pb data, together with a compilation of geochronological data, indicate two different types of provenance signatures available: the sediments to the west of the fault were mainly derived from the adjacent Central Asian Orogenic Belt, but to the east of the fault, they were mainly supplied from the Korean Peninsula, which is several hundred kilometers away. It is proposed that these different sedimentary rocks were juxtaposed by synand post-subduction sinistral displacements along the fault, and were not related to local variations in the source regions. Thus, understanding the shifting positions of depocenters is important when decoding provenance change because lateral displacement is critical for reconstructing regional paleogeography along oblique convergent plate margins.Plain Language Summary Drainage systems on Earth's continents carry abundant sediments from their sources to sinks. These sediments, which record climatic, topographic, tectonic and river dynamic information during their journeys, are finally preserved as sedimentary rocks. By studying them, geologists can decode the ancient source-to-sink systems. Events occurring in the source regions are always emphasized to explain the varying information in the sediments. For example, the rise of mountains can migrate river's watershed and drainage basins, changing the characteristics of materials. Sometimes, however, simply moving positions of the sinks/basins also can achieve similar effects, such as basins moved by large strike-slip faults. Here, our research in Sikhote-Alin, Russian Far East shows that the sediments have two age spectrum patterns, indicating two provenance types along the NE Asian margin during the late Mesozoic. We suggest that the two types were juxtaposed by a large-scale strike-slip fault during and/or after their deposition. The different provenance features in Sikhote-Alin was caused by the large-scale margin-parallel motion, instead of any variations in the sources. Similar tales were reported in NW America, northeastern Tibetan Plateau and other regions globally. Thus, understandin...

“…Некоторые из этих новых данных имеют принципиальное значение для восстановления геологической истории Сихотэ-Алиньского орогенного пояса, так как позволяют тестировать существующие террейновые модели пояса. Например, наши данные не согласуются с моделью, предложенной в [39], в которой предполагается, что и Киселёвско-Маноминский, и Журавлевско-Амурский, и Восточно-Сахалинский террейны в раннем мелу располагались на одних и тех же широтах (20-30°) северного полушария. И, наоборот, согласуются с террейновой концепцией образования Сихотэ-Алиньско-Северо-Сахалинского орогенного пояса, согласно которой ряд геологических комплексов, занимавших различное палеоширотное положение, с конца раннего мела были перемещены на север вдоль трансформной континентальной окраины на несколько тысяч километров [5, 7, 21, 40 и многие другие].…”

The paper presents the results of paleomagnetic and rock magnetic studies on phase-I gabbrodiorites of the Lower Amur Complex of the Zhuravlevka-Amur terrane (Poni massif, Poni-Mulinsky ore cluster), which were used to determine that at the time the Lower Amur intrusive Complex formation (Cenomanian-Turonian) the Priamurskaya zone was located between the Central Sikhote-Alin fault in the east and the Priamursky fault in the west, which is 10–13° north of its current position. It is shown that starting from the middle of the Cenomanian there were no latitudinal movements of the Priamurskaya zone of the Zhuravlevka-Amur terrane relative to the Eurasian continent. However, a more than 20-degree counterclockwise rotation of the zone relative to the continent was recorded, which is easily interpreted in terms of the ball-bearing model invoking an action of the Amur and Central Sikhote-Alin en echelon left-lateral strike-slip faults. Left-lateral strike-slip fault systems could easily be channels for mantle material supply during the formation of the largest porphyry copper deposit Malmyzh, which, along with the Poni-Mulinsky ore cluster, is part of the Lower Amur mineragenic zone.
