Interpretation of Aeromagnetic Anomalies of the Sulu Ultrahigh-Pressure(UHP) Metamorphic Belt,Eastern China

The Sulu ultra-high pressure(UHP)metamorphic belt in Eastern China is well known as the eastern extension of the Qingling-Dabie orogenic belt formed by subduction and collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons.The main hole of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling(CCSD)project is located at the southern segment of the Sulu UHP metamorphic belt(34°25′N/118°40′E),about 17 km southwest of Donghai County.Integrated geophysical investigations using gravity,magnetic,deep

The Discovery of Diamond from the Zhimafang Pyrope Peridotite of the Sulu UHP Metamorphic Zone, East China, and Its Geological Implications

From Donghai County of Jiangsu Province to Rongcheng County of Shandong Province on the southern border of the Sulu orogen, there exposes an ultramafic belt, accompanied with an ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic zone. It can be further divided into the Xugou belt (the northern belt), and the Maobei-Gangshang belt (the southern belt). One grain of diamond has been discovered from the Zhimafang pyrope peridotite in the southern belt using the heavy mineral method. The diamond grain is 2.13 mm × 1.42 mm × 0.83 mm in size and weighs 9.4 mg. The occurrence of the diamond suggests that the Zhimafang pyrope peridotite xenolith is derived from the lithospheric upper mantle. The tectonic emplacement mechanism of the pyrope peridotite xenoliths in granite-gneisses is obviously different from those in kimberlite. The Sulu orogen was located on the active continental margin of the Sino-Korean craton in the Neoproterozoic. The relatively cold and water-bearing oceanic crustal tholeiite slab subducted beneath the lithospheric mantle of the Sino-Korean craton, and partly melted to produce granitic magma and water-bearing fluids. The magma and fluids pierced through and fractured the overlying lithospheric mantle, and ascended to the crustal level together with the ultramafic mantle fragments as xenoliths.

The Lanshantou Kyanite-bearing Eclogite with Coesite Inclusions in the Sulu Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphic Belt and Its PTt Path

Coesite inclusions are found in kyanite from the Lanshantou eclogite in the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt. This discovery extends the stable region of kyanite to over 2.4 GPa. As an important UHP metamorphic belt in China, the Sulu eclogite belt is the product of A-subduction induced by strong compression of the Yellow Sea terrane to the Jiaodong-northereastern Jiangsu terrane during the interaction of the Eurasian plate and Palaeo-Pacific plate in the Indosinian. It stretches about 350 km and contains over 1000 eclogite bodies. Most eclogites in this belt belong to Groups B and C in the classification of Coleman et al., and commonly contain kyanite, while the Lanshantou eclogite belongs to Group A and contains coesite. The MgO, CaO and FeO contents in garnet and pyroxene show regular variation from the core to the rim, which reveals the PTt paths of progressive metamorphism during the Early Mesozoic (240-200 Ma) and retrogressive metamorphism during the Late Mesozoic and Cenozoic exhumation.

Sequence of Ductile Shear Zones in UHP Metamorphic Province with in Dabie Massif,China

Structural studies in the Dabie massif show that distribution of strain is extremely heterogeneous and illustrates the pattern of deformation partitioning in the ultra high pressure (UHP) metamorphic province on all scales. Based on the field structural analysis along with microstructural observation, at least five widespread episodes of ductile shear zone systems are identified by using geometric, kinematic and rheological indicators and they constitute a shear zone sequence in the UHP metamorphic province within the Dabie massif (DM), China. Each shear zone system, for example, the UHP eclogite facies shear zone system in the sequence, exhibits its own features including geometric styles, mineral assemblages, metamorphic pt conditions and deformation regimes during the formation of such shear zone system. Detailed macro and micro scopical features of different episodes of the shear zones are given with respect to mechanism of strain localization and deformation partitioning. The tectonic significance during the creation and exhumation of the UHP metamorphic rocks is evaluated briefly, as well. It is argued that the ductile shear zones in the UHP metamorphic province play an important role in the Dabie mountain building geodynamic process.

Post-Collisional Ductile Extensional Tectonic Framework in the UHP and HP Metamorphic Belts in the Dabie-Sulu Region, China

The present-day observable tectonic framework of the ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) and high-pressure (HP) metamorphic belts in the Dabie-Sulu region was dominantly formed by an extensional process, mostly between 200 and 170 Ma, following the Triassic collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons. The framework that controls the present spatial distribution of UHP and HP metamorphic rocks in particular displays the typical features of a Cordilleran-type metamorphic core complex, in which at least four regional-scale, shallow-dipping detachment zones are recognized. Each of these detachment zones corresponds to a pressure gap of 0.5 to 2.0 GPa. The detachment zones separate the rocks exposed in the region into several petrotectonic units with different P-T conditions. The geometry and kinematics of both the detachment zones and the petrotectonic units show that the exhumation of UHP and HP metamorphic rocks in the Dabie-Sulu region was achieved, at least in part, by non-coaxial ductile flow in the multi-layered detachment zones, and by coaxial vertical shortening and horizontal stretching in the metamorphic units, under amphibolite- to greenschist-facies conditions, and in an extensional regime. All ductile extensional deformations occurred at depths below 10 to 15 km, i.e. below the brittle/ductile deformation transition.

On Continent-Continent Point-Collision and Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphism

Up to now it is known that almost all ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism of non-impact origin occurred in continent-continent collisional orogenic belt, as has been evidenced by many outcrops in the eastern hemisphere. UHP metamorphic rocks are represented by coesite- and diamond-bearing eclogites and eclogite facies metamorphic rocks formed at 650-800℃ and 2.6-3.5 GPa, and most of the protoliths of UHP rocks are volcanic-sedimentary sequences of continental crust. From these it may be deduced that deep subduction of continental crust may have occurred. However, UHP rocks are exposed on the surface or occur near the surface now, which implies that they have been exhumed from great depths. The mechanism of deep subduction of continental crust and subsequent exhumation has been a hot topic of the research on continental dynamics, but there are divergent views. The focus of the dispute is how deep continental crust is subducted so that UHP rocks can be formed and what mechanism causes it to be subducted to great depths and again exhumed to the shallow surface. Through an analysis of the continental process and mechanical boundary conditions of the Dabie collisional belt-an UHP metamorphic belt where the largest area of UHP rocks in the world is exposed, this paper discusses the variations of viscous stresses and average pressure in the viscous fluid caused by tectonism with rock physical properties and the contribution of the tectonic stresses to production of UHP. Calculation indicates that the anomalous stress state on the irregular boundary of a continental block may give rise to stress concentration and accumulation at local places (where the compressional stress may be 5-9 times higher than those in their surroundings). The tectonic stresses may account for 20-35% of the total UHP. So we may infer that the HP (nigh-pressure)-UHP rocks in the Dabie Mountains were formed at depths of 60-80 km. Thus the authors propose a new genetic model of UHP rocks-the point-collision model. This model conforms to the basic principles of the mechanics and also to the geologic records and process in the Dabie orogenic belt. It can explain why UHP rocks do nol exist along the entire length of the collisional orogen but occur in some particular positions. The authors also propose that the eastern and western corners of the Himalaya collision zone are typical point-collision areas and that almost all UHP metamorphism of continental crustal rocks occurred in the two particular positions.

Petrology and metamorphism of glaucophane eclogites in Changning-Menglian suture zone, Bangbing area, southeast Tibetan Plateau: An evidence for Paleo-Tethyan subduction

High/ultrahigh-pressure(HP/UHP)metamorphic complexes,such as eclogite and blueschist,are generally regarded as significant signature of paleo-subduction zones and paleo-suture zones.Glaucophane eclogites have been recently identified within the Lancang Group characterized by accretionary mélange in the Changning-Menglian suture zone,at Bangbing in the Shuangjiang area of southeastern Tibetan Plateau.The authors report the result of petrological,mineralogical and metamorphism investigations of these rocks,and discuss their tectonic implications.The eclogites are located within the Suyi blueschist belt and occur as tectonic lenses in coarse-grained garnet muscovite schists.The major mineral assemblage of the eclogites includes garnet,omphacite,glaucophane,phengite,clinozoisite and rutile.Eclogitic garnet contains numerous inclusions,such as omphacite,glaucophane,rutile,and quartz with radial cracks around.Glaucophane and clinozoisite in the matrix have apparent optical and compositional zonation.Four stages of metamorphic evolution can be determined:The prograde blueschist facies(M_(1)),the peak eclogite facies(M_(2)),the decompression blueschist facies(M_(3))and retrograde greenschist facies(M_(4)).Using the Grt-Omp-Phn geothermobarometer,a peak eclogite facies metamorphic P-T condition of 3000–3270 MPa and 617–658℃ was determined,which is typical of low-temperature ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism.The comparison of the geological characteristics of the Bangbing glaucophane eclogites and the Mengku lawsonite-bearing retrograde eclogites indicates that two suites of eclogites may have formed from significantly different depths or localities to create the tectonic mélange in a subduction channel during subduction of the Triassic Changning-Menglian Ocean.The discovery of the Bangbing glaucophane eclogites may represent a new oceanic HP/UHP metamorphic belt in the Changning-Menglian suture zone.

Polyphase Deformation of the Weihai-Rongcheng UHP Unit Rocks,NE Sulu:Insights into the Tectonic Evolution of the Dabie-Sulu UHP and HP Belts,China

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.

Field report:Research along the Yarlung Suture Zone in Southern Tibet,a persistent geological frontier

The Yarlung Suture Zone in Southern Tibet marks the boundary between India and Asia-formerly separated by an ocean basin-and is a critical record of the tectonic processes that created the Tibetan Plateau. The Yarlung Suture Zone is also a frontier research area, as difficulty of access has limited research activity, providing ample opportunities for new discoveries. This paper documents field research conducted by the authors along the Yarlung suture zone in eastern Xigaze(Shigatse, Rikaze)County, ~250 km west of the city of Lhasa, in July 2017. The goal of this research was to map the Suture Zone structure in detail, and more specifically to understand the branching relationships between two major fault systems-the Great Counter Thrust and Gangdese Thrust. A summary of early geological exploration is included to provide context for this research.

Discovery of low grade metamorphic volcanic rock sheets within UHP in Dabie Mts. and its implications

THE ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic zone (UHP), outcropping in the central and southernDabie Mts. with an area of about 1000 km^2, may be the largest one in the world. The forma-tion and exhumation mechanism of the UHP rocks become a hot point in the study of continen-tal orogen. The first finding of the Shiqiao structural window, which is composed of low

Progress and Controversy in the Study of HP-UHP Metamorphic Terranes in the West and Middle Central China Orogen

During the past ten years, various types of HP-UHP metamorphic rocks have been discovered in the South Altyn Tagh, the North Qaidam and the North Qinling （秦岭） in the West and Middle Central China orogen. The UHP rocks, as lentoid bodies in regional gneisses, include eclogite （garnet-bearing pyroxenite）, garnet peridotite and various pelitic or felsic gneisses. There are many records of minerals and microstructures of exsolution indicate the UHP metamorphism, such as coesite （or its pseudomorph）, diamond, exsolution of clinopyroxene/amphibole/＋rutile or rutile＋quartz＋apatite in garnet, exsolution of quartz in omphacite and exsolution of kyanite＋spinel in precursor stishovite.The discovery of microstructure evidence for the presence of precursor stishovite in typical Alrich gneiss from the South Altyn Tagh reveals continental subduction and exhumation to and from a depth of more than 350 km. It is the petrological record of the deepest subduction and exhumation of continental rock in the world. The in situ zircon U-Pb dating using LA-ICP- MS or SHRIMP methods shows that the metamorphic ages of the HP-UHP rocks in the South Altyn Tagh, the North Qaidam and the North Qinling are 475-509, 420--457, and 485-514 Ma, respectively. The metamorphic ages of HP-UHP rocks in the North Qaidam are 20-80 Ma younger than those in the South Altyn Tagh and the North Qinling, and the metamorphic ages do not systematically increase or decrease from the South Altyn Tagh through the North Qaidam to the North Qinling. The absence of time transgressive variety of the metamorphism in the three regions does not support the hypothesis that the HP-UHP rocks in these re. gions form the same HP-UHP metamorphic zone. And the HP-UHP rocks in these regions can not be simply correlated to the collision between the North China plate and the South China plate. At present, the study of the HP-UHP rocks in the West and Middle Central China orogen faces several key issues or challenges, such as： （1） the continental subduction to the mantle depth of stishovite stability field （〉9 GPa） is occasional or universal; （2） the mechanism of exhumation for the continental rocks subducted to the depth of stishovite stability field （〉300 km）; （3） the tectonic setting and geodynamical mechanism of producing the HP-UHP metamorphic zones in the South Altyn Tagh, the North Qaidam and the North Qinling. Further studies aiming at these problems will make important progress not only in metamorphlsm of the HP-UHP rocks in the West and Middle Central China orogen, but also in continen. tal deep subduction and exhumation in solid earth science. It will also contribute to the establishment of the theory of continental deep subduction.

大别—苏鲁超高压—高压变质带伸展构造格架及其动力学意义

构造分析结合变质作用PTt轨迹和同位素年代学资料指出,现今观察到的大别—苏鲁超高压—高压变质带区域构造框架,主要是在印支期中-朝与扬子克拉通斜向碰撞及超高压—高压变质作用期后伸展体制下形成的(200～170Ma)。构造样式类似于北美科迪勒拉型变质核杂岩并发育多层低缓角度地壳尺度的伸展拆离带。几何形态表现为大型穹窿或小型穹窿群。区域伸展构造叠加于先期碰撞或挤压构造之上,控制了超高压和高压变质岩石的空间分布。大规模的近水平韧性伸展流动,是在超高压—高压变质岩石从地幔深处折返到中、下地壳层次及角闪岩相环境下发生的。广泛的减压部分熔融作用反映的壳—幔动力学过程和地壳热结构的变化,是促使造山带从挤压体制向伸展体制转换的因素之一。证明造山带尺度的地壳伸展和薄化作用,在超高压和高压变质岩石折返到地表动力学过程中,曾起过重要作用。

陆-陆点碰撞与超高压变质作用

迄今为止,非撞击型超高压变质作用均发生在陆陆碰-撞造山带,这在东半球许多地点已被证实。超高压变质岩石以含柯石英和金刚石包体的榴辉岩和榴辉岩相变质岩石为代表,形成的温压环境为650～800℃,2.6～3.5 GPa。研究证明大多数超高压岩石原岩是陆壳火山—沉积岩系,因此推断大陆深俯冲作用曾经发生。而超高压岩石现今又出露地表或浅表,意味着它们又从深部折返至地表。陆壳岩石深俯冲和折返机制已成为大陆动力学研究的热点,但认识莫衷一是。争论的焦点是陆壳俯冲的深度到底多大可以形成超高压岩石?是什么机制使其发生深俯冲而又折返到浅表?本文通过世界上出露规模最大的超高压变质带——大别山碰撞过程的动力学分析,探讨非规则边界的碰撞引起的构造附加压力对超高压岩石形成的影响作用。模拟计算表明,大陆板块的早期碰撞,会引起碰撞附近的局部应力集中现象(平均压力较周围增大了5～9倍),构造压力在超高压中所占的比例约为20％～35％。由此推测,大别山高压—超高压岩石形成深度可能为 65～80 km。为此本文提出超高压岩石新成因模式——大陆点碰撞模式。这种模式符合力学基本原理,也符合地质记录和地质过程;可以解释为什么超高压岩石并非沿碰撞造山带全线存在,而是出现某些特定部位。本文提出喜马拉雅山碰撞?

班公湖-怒江结合带洞错地区舍拉玛高压麻粒岩的发现及其地质意义

青藏高原班公湖-怒江结合带内中东段八宿、安多、蓬错西等地已有高压-超高压变质岩的报道,然而西段至今尚没有发现类似岩石出露。在班公湖-怒江西段改则洞错地区舍拉玛沟中发现高压麻粒岩（可能是退变榴辉岩）,岩石呈透镜状、似层状或块状产于斜长角闪岩及变质辉长岩中,详细的岩相学及矿物化学研究确认,早期矿物组合主要为石榴子石、单斜辉石及斜长石（大部分钠黝帘石化）,后期发生了较强烈的退变质作用,矿物组合为角闪石和斜长石,发育典型的＂白眼圈＂结构。利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb方法获得高压麻粒岩的原岩时代为254±2Ma,指示班公湖-怒江洋盆打开的时限可以追溯到晚二叠世。地质温压计估算结果表明,高压麻粒岩相变质作用发生的温度和压力条件为780-900℃和13-16k Pa,角闪岩相变质作用发生的温度和压力条件为430-480℃和4.5-5.2k Pa,极有可能是班公湖-怒江特提斯洋壳发生高压麻粒岩相（甚至达到榴辉岩相）变质作用的产物。它的发现说明在班公湖-怒江结合带内部存在高压变质带,可能是大洋深俯冲的产物,这对研究青藏高原特提斯洋的形成演化具有重要意义。

高压-超高压变质岩石中石榴石的环带和成因

在俯冲带变质过程中,石榴石是高压-超高压变质榴辉岩和片麻岩的常见变质矿物。由于石榴石具有难熔和流体中的低溶解能力的特点,通常可以很好地保存下来,并且能够保留复杂的化学成分环带,以及不同类型的矿物或流体包裹体,为解释石榴石寄主岩石经历的变质演化历史提供了重要信息。石榴子石的主微量元素成分受控于很多因素,如全岩成分、变质的温压条件、控制石榴子石形成的相关变质反应、与石榴子石共生的矿物种类和成分等。因此,在利用石榴石探讨超高压变质的演化历史时,对石榴石进行系统的主要元素、微量元素、氧同位素以及矿物包裹体分析,以及相互间的成因关系。同时,对石榴石中的锆石或独居石包裹体并进行原位U-Pb定年和微量元素分析,可以为变质石榴石的形成时代提供直接的时间制约。深入研究超高压变质岩中石榴石的生长阶段,不仅可以为含石榴石寄主岩石的变质过程提供岩石学和地球化学证据,而且对于理解石榴石的形成机制、生长规律及其变质化学动力学过程具有重要的科学意义。

北苏鲁荣成地区超高压变质带的形成与折返动力学

山东省荣成地区位于苏鲁高压-超高压变质带的东北部,以花岗质片麻岩、副片麻岩为主,夹有少量的榴辉岩、石榴辉石岩、麻粒岩、超基性岩、石英岩、大理岩和斜长角闪岩等,各类岩石的锆石中普遍含有柯石英包裹体,表明荣成地区岩石曾经历超高压变质作用过程。荣成地区区域构造格架表现为面理产状总体为NNE-SSW走向,向南转为由NE-SW走向,呈弧形展布,倾向SE或SSE,超高压变质岩石由一系列近平行的剪切岩片组成,岩片之间的分界线为一些韧性剪切带,是折返阶段角闪岩相-绿片岩相的产物。结合野外宏观变形现象、显微构造分析以及糜棱岩中石英的优选方位EBSD(eleetron backscatterdiffraction,电子背散射技术)测量结果,可以判断北苏鲁荣成地区韧性剪切带主要形成于中、低温(550～350℃)条件,并具有由NW向SE"斜向正滑"的剪切指向。根据韧性剪切带中所含的榴辉岩透镜体的显微构造和绿辉石与金红石的优选方位的EBSD的研究,重塑超高压变质阶段的流变学特征:绿辉石和金红石都具有高温的滑移系组构模式。横穿苏鲁高压-超高压变质带的地震反射剖面揭示了苏鲁高压-超高压变质带呈厚10km以上的穹形板片,位于苏鲁高压-超高压变质板片下部的荣成及江苏刘山以韧性正断裂系列为主。Ar-Ar测年结果表明,发生这种伸展韧性剪切作用的时间在117～130Ma。位于板片上部的南苏鲁以韧性逆冲性断裂系列为主。基于以上各方面的研究,进一步验证了苏鲁超高压-超高压变质带折返动力学的挤出模式。

大别造山带地壳泊松比结构与超高压变质带——来自宽角反射与近垂直反射剖面的启示

综合宽角反射、近垂直反射的探测结果和有关地质资料,对大别造山带地壳结构和超高压变质带研究显示:大别造山带地壳具有层块结构特征。沿安义—庄墓剖面,上地壳有7个弹性块体,中地壳有5个,下地壳有4个。扬子与华北地块的主缝合带是超高压变质带,扬子地块与大别造山带的现今分界线是与郯庐断裂相交的太湖—马庙断裂,磨子潭—晓天断裂是大别造山带的北界,北淮阳构造带呈楔状向下插入,它与华北地块的分界是肥中断裂。郯庐断裂在中、上地壳近于直立,下地壳向西倾斜。超高压变质带的厚度为5～7km,产状向北插入到北大别块体之下,折返过程是构造就位,不是大别山的均匀抬升,折返的主运动面是水吼—五河高温剪切带。

江苏东海大陆钻址区层析成像

苏鲁大别造山带是出露榴辉岩典型的超高压变质带,大陆科学钻选择东海县榴辉岩大片覆盖区作为址区,对揭示碰撞造山和后期变形及折返等动力学过程有重要意义。但该地区缺少深部地质资料和数据,层析成像作为深部速度扰动分析的主要手段之一,可以作为这个地区的深部探测的先导工作。以钻址为中心布置了N340W和N70E的十字测线。层析反演结果第3层与重力异常变化一致,和Moho面变化有关,高速体和高重力都在中心出现,而郯庐断裂和嘉山-响水断裂均为高低速体变化的界线。NS剖面垂直于构造走向可分为三个部分,可能分别代表扬子板块、苏鲁地体和华北板块及它们之间界线的特征。南部断裂产状较陡,在其北侧隐约有不连续倾斜的高速体,北部断裂的产状比较一致的北倾,受郯庐断裂控制明显。200km深度以上的高速体与低速体发生突变的地带,分别处于30km、80km、130km的深度上,相当于Moho面、岩石圈、软流圈的大致深度。这种格局反映了苏鲁地区在断裂控制下岩石圈活动的特征。

大别山东北缘桐城高压-超高压变质带的构造解析及其对郯庐断裂带的制约

通过对郯庐断裂带南段桐城地区高压-超高压变质带详细的岩石学和构造学研究,将研究区从空间结构上划分为三个构造单元:上部低温-高压单元、中部中温-高压单元和下部超高压单元。根据研究区多期构造变形分析,共识别出了五期有区域构造地质学含义的事件(D_1-D_5):D_1代表高压-超高压变质岩中-晚三叠世同碰撞早期折返过程;D_2表征了高压-超高压变质岩晚三叠世同碰撞晚期折返过程;D_3记录了早白垩世中大别变质核杂岩的形成,也即整个中国东部晚中生代大规模伸展构造在研究区的表现;D_4可能标志着郯庐断裂走滑构造对高压-超高压造山带的叠加;D_5表现为脆性正断作用,控制了晚白垩世-古近纪潜山半地堑盆地的形成。这些结果表明了研究区所经历构造演化的复杂性,其构造几何形态很难用郯庐断裂左行平移南大别超高压变质岩来解释,也不支持桐城地区存在巨大走滑作用的证据。
