Structural Features of Late Mesozoic Kouquan Fault Zone, Northern Shanxi Province

Abstract

Abstract:

Kouquan Fault Zone is located in the western part of the Trans-North China Orogen, North China Craton, and shows a unique thrusting style and complex Late Mesozoic structural evolution. This study focuses on the Late Mesozoic structural segmentation and mechanism, based on field observation, structural modeling and apatite fission track dating. The results show that: (1) Kouquan Fault Zone nappe thrusted from southeast to northwest, and the displacement is stronger in the south than in the north of the fault zone. The hanging-wall comprises Archaean gneiss, while the footwall comprises Cambro-Ordovician, Permo-Carboniferous and Jurassic sequences. (2) Kouquan Fault Zone is featured by segmentation and the main structural style is a typical triangular zone with over two sets of décollement sequences. The lower décollement sequence is Archaean, Cambro-Ordovician and Carboniferous, but the upper décollement sequence is the Lower Cambrian Mantou-Maozhuang Group or the underlying Archaean gneiss. (3) The formation of Kouquan Fault Zone may be associated with the NW-directed compression led by the Late Jurassic subduction of the Izanagi plate. Apatite fission-track simulation suggests that the earliest thrusting of Kouquan Fault Zone occurred in the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous (147.1±6.0 Ma).

Key words: Kouquan Fault Zone, structural feature, structural evolution, Late Mesozoic, North China Craton
