摘要: 华南大陆南缘沿海广泛分布的新生代沉积盆地普遍发育古近系与第四系之间不整合面, 不整合面剥蚀量恢复可为重建华南大陆南缘完整的新生代构造演化历史提供重要依据。文章聚焦南雄盆地, 利用古温标镜质体反射率方法对盆地古城村组(顶界面年龄约56Ma)与上覆第四系之间不整合面的剥蚀量进行恢复, 并结合盆地周缘低温热年代学信息对隆升剥蚀的开始时间进行约束。结果显示, 南雄盆地古近系顶面剥蚀量约(2700±300)m, 隆升剥蚀的开始时间约为早渐新世, 并且一直持续到第四纪早期。分析表明, 南雄盆地古城村组沉积时期, 盆地断陷发育过程并未衰减, 而是持续到了早渐新世; 随后构造环境由伸展过渡为挤压, 盆地开始隆升剥蚀, 直至第四纪早期, 强烈的剥蚀作用使得盆地丢失了古新世末—早渐新世期间的断陷沉积记录。华南大陆南缘晚古近纪以来普遍的隆升剥蚀过程受印度−欧亚板块碰撞引起的东南挤压和太平洋板块向欧亚大陆下方俯冲影响, 隆升幅度具有从内陆往沿海地区逐渐减弱的趋势, 造成沿海隆升和近海沉降的差异演化现象。

Abstract:

The onshore Cenozoic basins of the southern margin of the South China Block (SCB) commonly exhibit an unconformity between the Paleogene and Quaternary systems. Restoration of the erosion at this unconformity provides critical constraints for reconstructing the complete Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the southern margin of the SCB. This study focuses on the Nanxiong Basin, employing vitrinite reflectance as a paleothermal indicator to restore the erosion thickness of the unconformity between the Guchengcun Formation (top age ~56 Ma) and overlying Quaternary strata. The onset time of erosion was constrained by integrating low-temperature thermochronology data from the basin periphery. Results show that the erosion thickness of Paleogene top strata is approximately (2700 ± 300) m in the Nanxiong Basin, with the erosion starting from the Early Oligocene and lasting until the Early Quaternary. This strong erosion caused the highly mature source rocks to be denudated to shallow burial depths. Analysis reveals that the basin faulting development did not end after the depositional period of Guchengcun Formation in Nanxiong Basin but continued until the early Oligocene. Subsequently, the tectonic environment changed from extension to compression, leading to basin uplift and erosion until the early Quaternary. This intense erosion removed the sedimentary record of the late Paleocene − early Oligocene. The erosion process of the southern margin of the SCB since the late Paleogene was affected by combined effects of southeast extrusion from the Indo-Eurasian plate collision and subduction of the Pacific plate underneath the Eurasia plate. The uplift amplitude tended to decrease gradually from inland to coastal areas, resulting in differential evolution between onshore uplift and offshore subsidence.
