    Early Archean to Middle Jurassic Evolution of the Korean Peninsula and Its Correlation with Chinese CratonsSHRIMP U-Pb Zircon Age Constraints [查看] HeejinJeonMoonsupChoHyeoncheolKimKenjiHorieHiroshiHidaka
    U-Pb zircon ages of tuffs and sandstones of the Daedong Supergroup (Bansong and Nampo groups) in the Korean Peninsula were determined using a sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) in order to constrain their age of sedimentation and to unravel discrete geologic events as recorded in detrital zircons. The ages of four tuffaceous samples from the Bansong Group imply that the Daedong Supergroup formed at ca. 187–172 Ma in association with the Early-Middle Jurassic orogeny. These data are in marked contrast with paleomagnetic arguments suggesting that the Bansong and Nampo groups are precollisional Early-Middle Triassic deposits that are correlative with the North and South China blocks, respectively. Detrital zircons of the Daedong Supergroup define seven age components: (1)Early-Middle Archean (3.64–2.97 Ga), (2) Late Archean–middle Early Proterozoic (2.63–2.33 Ga), (3) late Early Proterozoic(1.98–1.75 Ga), (4) Middle-Late Proterozoic (1.2–0.6 Ga), (5) Devonian (400–355 Ma), (6) Early Permian (280–255 Ma), and (7) Middle Triassic–Early Jurassic (240–180 Ma). These age distributions, together with available geochronological data, suggest that crustal growth of the Korean Peninsula has continued since ca. 3.6 Ga and culminated at ca. 2.5 and 1.9–1.8 Ga. Major age populations of detrital zircons of the Bansong and Nampo groups are similar, except for the presence of Middle-Late Proterozoic ages in the latter. Inasmuch as these ages are characteristic for the South China Block, the Gyeonggi massif, or at least the local source of the Nampo Group, is most likely a correlative of the South China Block.
