TIMING OF COLLISION BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH CHINA BLOCKS——THE Sm-Nd ISOTOPIC AGE EVIDENCE

Sm-Nd isotopic ages for C-type eclogite (243.9±5.6 Ma) and mafic and ultramafic rocks(230.6±30.7 Ma and 402.6±17.4 Ma) from the Qinling-Dabieshan orogenic belt are reported.These ages suggest that at the early Triassic, the North and South China Blocks have beenunited along the Qinling-Dabieshan collision zone, and before the final collision, a se-ries of ophiolite obductions took place successively away from the continental marginduring the Paleozoic.     

中国华北、华南陆块碰撞时代的钐-钕同位素年龄证据

本文报道了秦岭-大别山造山带的C型榴辉岩Sm-Nd同位素年龄(243.9±5.6Ma),和镁铁-超镁铁岩Sm-Nd同位素年龄(230.6±30.7Ma和40.62±17.4Ma)。这些年龄表明中国华北、华南地块在三叠纪初期就沿秦岭-大别山碰撞带连接在一起了。在两地块最后碰撞以前,在古生代,有一系列蛇绿岩套仰冲事件沿华北地块南缘向外逐次发生。
