摘要: 南海的新生代构造演化与东南亚岛弧的俯冲-碰撞过程密切相关。由于年龄约束不足,关于南沙地块与沙巴-巴拉望岛碰撞结束的时间存在诸多争议。2017年南沙群岛美济礁深钻南科1井穿透了新生代碳酸盐岩地层。高分辨率的锶同位素分析和碳酸盐岩激光原位U-Pb 年代测试为理清南海南部新生代构造演化提供了关键的年代学约束。在美济礁南科1井中部538米处发现了中中新世沉积间断面以及之下数百米厚的风化杂色沉积层。锶同位素年代和激光U-Pb 年代结果显示了该风化剥蚀面上下地层年代相差九百万年。基于区域地层对比推测南科1井中中新世沉积间断是由南沙地块中部的构造抬升引起的。南沙地块中部的抬升伴随着中中新世期间向巴拉望南缘之下的俯冲以及北婆罗洲的造山运动。南科1井中中新世沉积间断面的形成与南海南部中中新世活跃的挤压碰撞有关。美济礁在中中新世沉积间断之上的碳酸盐沉积代表了此次碰撞事件在南海南部的结束,其结束时代约在 11 Ma,晚于南海海盆停止扩展的时代(~15 Ma)。

Abstract: The tectonic evolution of the South China Sea (SCS) is intricately linked to the subduction-collision systems of Southeast Asia. However, the termination of the collision between the Dangerous Grounds terrane and the Sabah-Palawan margin remains debated due to insufficient age constraints at the southern SCS margin. A deep well drilled on Meiji Atoll, penetrating Cenozoic carbonate strata in the central Dangerous Grounds, provides robust Sr-isotope and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages that critically constrain the Cenozoic evolution of the southern SCS. A middle-Miocene hiatus spanning nine million years is identified on Meiji Atoll, interpreted as primarily resulting from tectonic uplift in the central Dangerous Grounds. This uplift phase was synchronous with under-thrusting beneath the southern Palawan margin and orogenic uplift in northern Borneo, indicating an active mid-Miocene collision in the southern SCS. The resumption of carbonate deposition above the hiatus at ~11 Ma dates the end of this collision event, postdating the cessation of seafloor spreading in the SCS (~15 Ma).
