“…Combining with no counterpart igneous bodies of these ages have been recognized in Indochina-Simao, we infer that these zircons of this study mostly represent exotic input from other adjacent continental terranes. Considering the Indochina-Simao Block located along the northern margin of East Gondwana in Silurian-Devonian (Metcalfe, 2013;Usuki et al, 2013;Burrett et al, 2014), the Rayner-Eastern Ghats belt in India and Antarctic with ca. 900-990 magmatic events can be the potential source of the 900-1000 Ma detrital zircons in our samples.…”

“…From the Palaeozoic to the Cretaceous several major terranes, including the South China, North China, Indochina, and parts of Cambodia, Laos, the eastern peninsular of Malaysia, northern Thailand, and parts of Vietnam. The South China Terrane is present north of this suture zone (Helmcke, 1985;Finlay, 1997;Sone and Metcalfe, 2008;Metcalfe, 2011;Burrett et al, 2014; Figure 1) and consists of NE Vietnam, Cathaysia, Ailaoshan and the Yangtze Terrane (Burrett et al, 2014). The Song Da Terrane which is sandwiched between the Song Ma Suture in the southwest and the Red River Fault Zone (RRFZ) in the northeast may be roughly correlated with the West Red River Basin of Tri and Khuc (2011).…”

U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology of sedimentary rocks in NE Vietnam: Implication for Early and Middle Devoni-an Palaeogeography

2017

Rocks of the Do Son Peninsula in NE Vietnam are mainly composed of Palaeozoic siliciclastics. The overall sedimentary record represents fluvial to deltaic prograding deposits close to a shoreline. We present detrital zircon U-Pb analytical results from two samples, the Van Canh and the Van Huong Formations (east Red River Basin). Zircons were analyzed for U, Th, and Pb isotopes by LA-SF ICP-MS techniques. The youngest zircon of each formation provides maximum ages of sedimentation at 407.1 ± 9.5 Ma and 406.3 ± 4.0 Ma. The zircon cluster of both samples supports the postulated position of NE Vietnam close to the western Himalaya.

Detrital zircon provenance of the Paleogene syn‐rift sediments in the northern South China Sea

The early rift sedimentation history of the South China Sea is still not well understood due to restricted borehole coverage of the Paleogene strata and lack of reliable stratigraphic dating. We use detrital zircon U‐Pb geochronology to explore the source‐to‐sink characteristics of syn‐rift sequences in the northern South China Sea. The results reveal significant intrabasinal provenances in addition to the well‐perceived terrigenous supply from the north. The Dongsha Uplift is considered to account for the dominance of the Early Cretaceous zircons in the Eocene samples. The Lower Oligocene sediments in the Qiongdongnan Basin could have been sourced from Hainan Island and local uplifts, but their distinction cannot be confirmed by the U‐Pb age spectra. Contemporary sediments in the northern Pearl River Mouth Basin were most likely transported from southeastern South China with well‐rounded zircon grains showing U‐Pb age similarity to those from the northeastern tributaries of the Pearl River. By contrast, intrabasinal sources from the west and east are suggested to have contributed the infill of the southern part of the Pearl River Mouth Basin based on generally euhedral zircon shapes. These sedimentary source patterns appear to change very little in the Oligocene northern South China Sea. However, the newly detected Neoproterozoic zircons in the Upper Oligocene sediments from borehole L21 tend to indicate a southern source. The episodic and diachronic nature of rifting and erosion processes in the early South China Sea is the cause of complex patterns in the Paleogene provenance history.
