中蒙边界区新发现的特大型推覆构造及伸展变质核杂岩

本文论述了内蒙古自治区海西-印支造山带内发现一特大型推覆构造和伸展变质核杂岩,两构造的时代均为中生代,但前者较早,推覆体走向近东西,中元古界白云岩自北向南推覆在寒武至三叠系地层上,直观推覆距70km,推测断距140km以上,变质核杂岩主要由糜棱岩组成,在推覆体范围内构成一北东向穹窿背斜并构成伸展拆离断层的下盘,糜棱岩面理平缓,拉伸线理总体向南南东倾伏,剪切指向标志表明为正断式运动,造山后推覆与伸展构造的共存提出一个重要的构造动力学问题。     

AN ENORMOUS THRUST NAPPE AND EXTENSIONAL METAMORPHIC CORE COMPLEX NEWLY DISCOVERED IN SINO-MONGOLIAN BOUNDARY AREA

An enormous thrust nappe and a metamorphic core complex of extensional origin have been recently discovered within the Hercynian-Indosinian orogen of Inner Mongolia. Both features are of the Mesozoic age, but the former is older. The thrust nappe strikes WNW-ESE and Proterozoic dolomite was thrust southwards atop strata ranging from the Cambrian to the Triassic in age. The visible displacement of the thrust is ca. 70 km and the deduced one is over 140 km. The metamorphic core complex (mainly mylonites) extends in an N-E direction, forming itself into a dome geometry and lying under an extensional detachment fault. The mylonitic foliation dips gently and the stretching mineral lineation, as a whole, plunges SSE. Various shear sense markers show a normal-sense shear movement. Some significant problems atise from the coexistence of nappe and extensional structures at a postoro-genic stage.
