Excludi...Different scales of structural data reveal a complex deformation history of ultrahigh- pressure (UHP) rocks exposed in the Weihai-Rongcbeng area, NE Sulu (northern Jiangsu-eastern Shandong), eastern China. Excluding pre-UHP deformations, at least five major sequential deformational stages (D1-Ds) are recognized. The first deformation (DO produced a weak foliation and lineation in massive eclogites. The foliated eclogite with a dominant foliation containing a stretching and mineral lineation was developed during the I)2 deformation. Both the D1 and D2 deformations occurred under UHP metamorphic conditions, and are well preserved in the eclogite bodies. D3 structures which developed shortly after the formation of granulite/amphibolite facies symplectites are characterized by imbricated associations marked by a regional, steeply dipping foliation, compositional layering, eclogite boudinage, isoclinal folds and reverse ductile shear zones. The D3 deformation was accompanied by decompressional partial melting. A regional, gently dipping amphibolite facies foliation and stretching lineation, low-angle detachments, and dome- and arc-shaped structures formed during the D4 deformation stage dominate to some degree the map pattern of the Weihai-Rongcbeng UHP domain. The last stage of deformation (Ds) gave rise to the final exhumation of the UHP rocks. Ds is characterized by development of brittle-dominated high-angle faulting associated with emplacement of large volmnes of undeformed granite plutons and dykes dated at 134-100 Ma. The deformational and metamorphic sequence followed by the UHP rocks in the Weihai-Rongcheng area is similar to that studied in the entire Dabie-Sulu UHP and HP metamorphic belts from microscopic to mapping scale. Based on structural data, combined with available petrographic, metamorphic and geochronological data, a speculative tectonic evolutionary model for the Dabie-Sulu UHP and IIP belts is proposed, involving continental subduction/collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons and subsequent polyphase exhumation histories of the UHP and IIP metamorphic rocks.展开更多

Its scientific significance is reflected in the following three aspects: (1) The basic features of the composite metallogenic systems can be recognized, which consist of two types: the Proterozoic metamorphic-hydrothermal metallogenic system and the Mesozoic magmatic-hydrothermal metallogenic system (i.e. the Indosinian-early Yanshanian contact metasomatic metallogenic series and the mid-late Yanshanian magmatic-hydrothermal metallogenic series). The two series display arcuate and NW-right lateral arrangements and a N-S parallel zonal distribution respectively, with the corresponding mineral assemblages being Au+Ag+Pb+Zn, etc.; and Cu+Mo+Fe, Au+Ag+Cu+Pb- Zn+Mo+Co-Ni+sulfides+silicides+K-feldspar, etc. (2) The composite metallogenic systems may be used to interpret the complicated genetic relations of the deposits. Through analyses of the relations between the three main metallogenic intervals and their corresponding source rock series (the Jingshan and Rongcheng groups; the Wendong super-unit and the early-middle Yanshanian Weideshan super-unit; and the mid-late Yanshanian Weideshan and Laoshan super-units) as well as a case study of the Fanjiabu gold deposit, we have distinguished the consanguinity between the contact metasomatic (skarn-type) metallogenic series and the magmatic-hydrothermal metallogenic series as well as the noncognate superposition between the two and the metamorphic-hydrothermal metallogenic system. (3) The composite metallogenic systems are easily related to the evolution of continental dynamic regimes. The formation of the metamorphic-hydrothermal metallogenic system has undergone transformations of three different types of tectono-dynamic regimes from extension→compression→ shearing; that of the contact metasomatic (skarn-type) metallogenic system from compression→extension→compression; and that of the magmatic-hydrothermal metallogenic system from extension →subductive compression of the Pacific Plate. The evolutions of the three types are all attributed to the opening-closing or divergence-convergence of the paleocontinent, and all their mineralization corresponds to the interval of transformation from the end of convergence to early integration of the Weihai paleocontinent. All these will benefit our deeper study of the dynamics of continental metallogenic processes.展开更多

In the process of the development of Weihai, Koreainvested enterprises have been playing a more and more important role. Taking Weihai as an example, this paper attempts to make a preliminary study mainly on the relationship between the Korean direct investment and the economic development in China's port cities concerned.展开更多
