Samples comprise quartz sandstones of the Wudangshan Group collected from the base of the Yangping Formation and an upper layer of the Shuangtai Formation overlain its volcanic sequence, and two river-sand collections from the drainage systems cutting across the two formations, respectively. The results show that the Yangping detrital zircons are dominated by 830–780 Ma grains with a minor population of ~1.0–0.84 Ga and sporadic grains of ~2.6, ~2.4 and 2.0 Ga, whereas the Shuangtai zircons yield an upper intercept age of 763±33 Ma, identical to the timing of the Wudangshan volcanism within error, with few concordant grains of 1.9 and 0.86 Ga. Age spectra for the two river-sand samples are similar to those of the Yangping and Shuangtai Formations, respectively. It thus suggests that the Wudangshan strata are less than 780 Ma, whereas their major detrital zircon populations of 1.0–0.85 Ga and 830–780 Ma are consistent with timing of the Hannan magmatic activities along the northwestern margin of the South China Block. This suggests a Hannan or adjacent area provenance for the Wudangshan strata. The Wudang area is characterized by rift-related igneous events at ~755 and ~680 Ma, respectively, pointing to a tectonomagmatic history different from the Hannan area. It is inferred that the ~755 Ma magmatism is likely to indicate a separation of the South China Block from the supercontinent Rodinia, while the ~680 Ma event suggests a further split between the South Qinling and some unknown continent.

U-Pb dating of detrital zircons from the Wudangshan Group in the South Qinling and its geological significance. Chinese Sci Bull, 2010, 55: 2440−2448, doi: 10.1007/s11434-010-3095-6 It is well known that the Qinling-Dabie-Sulu orogenesis played an important role in east-central China’s continental configuration and evolution, particularly amalgamation between the North China Block (NCB) and the South China Block (SCB) and a transformation of lithospheric tectonic regime during the Mesozoic [1–6]. However, a number of essential issues remain controversial, including the dis*Corresponding author (email: [email protected]) © Science China Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010 chronous collisions in the Qinling and Dabie-Sulu orogenic belts, comparison between the tectonic units and positions along the continental suture zone. In fact, these disputes are principally due to our poor understanding of the attributes of diverse Qinling tectonic units. For instance, whether the North-and South Qinling units were the orogen-involved segments from the two blocks or independent micro-continents? Although arc-and rift-related igneous activities at 1.0 to 0.78 Ga intensively occurred along the northcsb.scichina.com www.springerlink.com LING WenLi, et al. Chinese Sci Bull ern margin of the SCB, these events are lacking in the adjacent South Qinling. It is also notable that Neoproterozoic zircons hosted by the Triassic eclogites in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt have been used as a critical indicator of the SCB subduction beneath the NCB. However, there are two difficulties in this inference: (1) if the Qinling and the Dabie-Sulu belts were co-genetic and the South Qinling was the orogen-involved segment from the SCB, the subducted block should show a South Qinling affinity [7]. However, the Neoproterozoic affinity between the South Qinling and the northern SCB remains unclear; and (2) a large amount of the Neoproterozoic zircons hosted by the Dabie-Sulu eclogites are ~750 and ~680 Ma [8–10], but these ages have not been documented along the northern SCB margin next to the South Qinling. Thus, more detailed studies of the Qinling tectonic unites, especially the late Precambrian history, are critical to understanding of the Phanerozoic continental convergence and the tectonic transformation in east-central China. Besides, a Neoproterozoic correlation study between the South Qinling and SCB would also provide new constraints on the connection models of South China with Rodinia. In the South Qinling, the largest Precambrian terrain occurs at the Wudang area. The Wudangshan Group dominates the South Qinling deformed basement [3], on which a number of studies have been documented [11–14]. The Wudangshan volcanic-sedimentary succession experienced a regional metamorphism varying from lower to upper greenschist facies, while intensive deformation has transformed the strata to NW-trending tight folds and faults. Previous age data are highly controversial, which is markedly illustrated by a ~1.0 Ga difference between volcanic rocks collected from the southern-and northern Wudang area, respectively [13]. The present authors recently reported a comprehensive U-Pb zircon study of volcanic rocks collected from the main cross sections of the Wudangshan strata, which exclusively reveals a ~755 Ma igneous timing [15]. However, the depositional age and provenance of the lower Wudangshan strata are still poorly constrained due to a ~2500 m stratigraphy thickness and that the volcanic sequence occurs only at the upper strata. This work reports a U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology of the Wudangshan sedimentary succession. The samples comprise sandstones from the Yangping- Shuangtai Formations of the lower and mid-upper strata, respectively, and river sands deposited within two local water systems cutting across these two formations, respectively. The aims of this study were to (1) depict the U-Pb geochronology of the Wudangshan detrital zircons and constrain the maximum age of the strata; (2) compare their Neoproterozoic spectra with the timing of the synchronous igneous activities that occurred along the northern SCB margin, thus to analyze their provenance correlation with the SCB Precambrian basement; and (3) explore the correlation of the South Qinling and SCB during the Neoproterozoic as well as their linkage with Rodinia August (2010) Vol.55 No.22 2441 breakup. 1 Regional geology The North and South China Blocks are separated by the E-W trending Qinling-Dabie-Sulu orogen, which is disconnected by the Nanyang basin. The orogen is suggested to have been finally formed by the closure of easternmost Paleo-Tethys [1,2,6]. Form the north southward, the Qinling orogenic belt comprises tectonic units of the southern margin of the NCB, North Qinling, South Qinling and the northern margin of the SCB (Figure 1). The South Qinling borders the North Qinling and the northern margin of the SCB along the Shangdan suture to the north and the Mianlue suture to the south, respectively. These sutures are inferred to have been formed by the Middle Paleozoic collision between the NCB and the South Qinling and the Late Triassic collision between the South Qinling and the SCB, respectively [6]. The Wudang area is situated at the eastern extremity of the South Qinling and typical of an inlier. The uplift center comprises the Wudangshan Gp surrounded by the Nanhua-Sinian to Phanerozoic strata (Figure 1). The Wudangshan Gp comprises the oldest base of the outcropped strata in the region and the largest Precambrian suites (~8000 km2) in the South Qinling. From bottom upward this volcanic-sedimentary succession is subdivided into the Yangping, Shuangtai and Lanyuhe Formations. The Yangping Fm comprises quartz sandstone, feldspathic-quartz sandstone, arkose, siltstone, and sericite (-quartz) schist with minor marble layers. The Shuangtai Fm consists of bimodal volcanic sequence intercalated with fine-grain sedimentary beds, whereas the Lanyuhe Fm is dominated by greywacke, quartzofeldspathic sandstones and finegrain rocks. The Yaolinghe succession overlies the Wudangshan strata by an unconformity contact, and consists of dominatively basaltic lavas interbedded with minor silicic volcanic and schist layers. Both the Wudangshan and Yaolinghe Gps were intruded by doleritic-gabbroic sills, and all these suites suffered greenschist facies metamorphism and were overlain by the Nanhua-Sinian to Phanerozoic covers. The Wudangshan and the Yaolinghe volcanisms were dated at 755±3 Ma and 685±7 Ma, respectively, while the mafic sills at 679 ±3 Ma [15]. 2 Sampling and analysis methods Samples comprise two sandstones (WD05-64 and WD05-65) from the base of the Yangping Fm in the south, one feldspathic-quartz (WD05-14) from the upper Shuangtai Fm in the southwest, and two river-sands (WD05-S1 and WD05-S2) from two water systems cutting across these two formations, respectively (Figure 1). The rocks for detrital zircons analysis were crushed and separated using standard 2442 LING WenLi, et al.

The final concentrates were handpicked under a binocular microscope. The zircon grains were mounted in epoxy resin with zircon standard 91500 and silicate glass standard NIST SRM610. After polishing, the zircon grains were examined by cathodoluminescence (CL) to detect cores, rims and other complexities might be present and select suitable laser ablation spots during in situ analysis of U-Pb isotope. The LING WenLi, et al. Chinese Sci Bull CL imaging was performed at the State Key Laboratory of Continental Dynamics (LCD), Northwest University (Xi’An, China) using Quanta 400FEG SEM. Analysis of U-Pb detrital zircon was carried out at LCD using ELA-ICPMS. Laser-ablation system comprises GeoLas 200M equipped with a 193 nm ArF-excimer laser and is coupled with an Agilent 7500a ICP-MS. The laser spot diameter was 30 μm. Each analysis includes a background acquisition interval of approximately 30 s and a signal acquisition of about 80 s. Raw data were processed using the Glitter (REV 4.0) software [16]. Apparent and discordia U-Pb ages were calculated by the ISOPLOT program (REV. 4.9) [17]. All measurements were performed using zircon 91500 as the external standard with a 206Pb/238U age of 1065.4±0.6 Ma [18]. The standard silicate glass NIST SRM610 was used to calculate U, Th and Pb concentrations. The detailed analytical method was described elsewhere [19]. 3 U-Pb geochronology of detrital zircon The measured U-Pb isotopic data and corresponding apparent ages for 179 zircons from the sandstones and 183 grains from the river-sands are listed in Table S1. 3.1 Yangping sandstone Analyses of 59 grains from WD05-64 g an age range from 2.55 Ga to 780 Ma (Figure 2a). All zircons are concordant or near concordant except two grains, which display 207 Pb/206Pb and 206Pb/238U apparent ages of 1975±32 Ma, 2022±33 Ma and 1741±14 Ma, 1828±15 Ma, respectively. Of the concordant zircons, 5 grains consist of the oldest population ranging 2555–2380 Ma (206Pb/238U age, the same below). These grains are olivary round and display weak CL images with accreted light thin rims (Figure 3a1, a2). The second population comprises 8 grains giving ages of 2071– 2032 Ma. Their surfaces are rounded and pitted, while their CL images show well-developed oscillatory zoning or sectors typical of magmatic genesis (Figure 3a3–a5). The remaining zircons are Neoproterozoic and can be further divided into two populations of 1045–855 and 830–780Ma, respectively. The former population (15 grains) has subhedral to rounded surfaces with stubby form. Their CL images are variable with relatively faint composition zoning and tiny inclusions (Figure 3a6–a8). In contrast, the later population (24 grains) are euhedral and elongate with relatively intact prisms, pyramids and well defined oscillatory zones (Figure 3a9–a11), indicating a short distance provenance. Analyses of 68 zircons from WD05-65 display age spectra similar to WD05-64 (Figure 2b). One grain gives an Archean age of 2631±13 Ma. It is a rounded surface and elongate crystal with light CL image but featureless internal core and gray accreted rim (Figure 3b1). Three grains give ages from 2003 to 2023 Ma comparable with the second August (2010) Vol.55 No.22 2443 population of the WD05-64 spectra. These zircons are rounded and pitted with light but recognizable oscillatory zoning core and gray accreted rim (Figure 3b2). The spectra are dominated by Neoproterozoic grains, which can be also divided into two populations. Ten grains of 903–841 Ma are stubby to elongate with rounded surfaces. Their CL images show blurred oscillatory zoning (Figure3b3, b4). The largest population of 831–777 Ma comprises 51 grains, comparable with the younger Neoproterozoic population of WD05-64. These grains are variable elongate from euhedral with relatively intact prisms and pyramids to rounded surfaces, and characterized by well defined oscillatory zones (Figure 3b5– b7). 3.2 Shuangtai sandstone Sample WD05-14 was collected from a sandstone layer overlying the volcanic sequence within the Shuangtai Fm along the stratotype section. Analyses of 52 grains were carried out. Compared with the Yangping sandstones, most grains from WD05-14 are tiny in size (< 100 μm). Two grains give ages (206Pb/238U) of 1781±22 Ma and 861±11 Ma, respectively (Figure 2c). The older grain is moderately discordant (207Pb/206Pb age of 1915±54 Ma) with rounded surface but oscillatory zoning core and wide accreted rim (Figure 3 c1), whereas the younger is concordant with subhedral surface, zoning oscillatory core and thin accreted rim (Figure 3c2). The remaining grains are characterized by discordant U-Pb composition with 206Pb/238U apparent ages from 732 to 453 Ma (Figure 2c). These grains are euhedral with well-defined oscillatory zoning (Figure 3c3, c4). On the concordia diagram, however, the grains give a well defined upper intercept age of 763±33 Ma, identical to the timing of the Wudangshan volcanism within analysis error [15]. 3.3 Sandy zircons Though it is likely that the river sands may contain zircons from previously eroded rocks, river detrital zircon analysis is still a valuable approach to assess possible sampling bias and provide age spectra representative of a wider range of the Wudangshan rocks. Sand WD05-S1 was collected from a river system chiefly cutting across the Shuangtai Fm and its covers. Of the 105 analyses (Figure 2d), one subhedral grain show faint but recognizable oscillatory zoning and give concordant ages of 1748±12 Ma and 1724±12 Ma for its core and rim, respectively (Figure 3d1), while another grain yields an age of 869t±8 Ma and is characterized by rounded surface and light oscillatory zoning (Figure 3d2). The remaining concordant zircons can be divided into four populations with weighted mean ages of 792±4 Ma (95% confidence, n=12, MSWD=2.3), 748±3 Ma (n=55, MSWD=6.8), 680±5 Ma (n=19, MSWD=6.0) and 582±3 Ma (n=3, MSWD=1.1), respectively. These grains are euhedral and stubby to elongate forms with well-developed oscillatory 2444 LING WenLi, et al. Chinese Sci Bull August (2010) Vol.55 No.22 Figure 2 Concordia diagrams for detrital zircons from the Yangping (a,b) and Shuangtai (c) Fms of the Wudangshan Gp and river sands of the local water systems (d–e). zoning (Figure 3d3, d4 for population ~792 Ma, Figure 3d5, d7 for population ~748 Ma, Figure3d8 for population ~680 Ma and Figure 3d9 for population ~582 Ma). The data suggest that their provenances are primarily the Wudangshan volcanics (~750 Ma), and subordinately the Yaolinghe volcanics and the intrusive sills (~680 Ma), whereas the ~790 Ma grains indicate an inherited origin previously hosted by these igneous rocks. It is notable that ~580 Ma magmatism has not been reported in this region. A further work is needed to assess the possible magmatism occurring at the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian transition though it is likely a less intensive igneous event. Sample WD05-S2 was collected from a river system mainly cutting across the Yangping Fm. The age spectra comprise 78 analyses and show features similar to WD05-64 (Figure 2). Two concordant grains are 2378±16 and 2376±31 Ma, respectively, with rounded surfaces and oscillatory zoning core and dark gray accreted rims (Figure 3e1–e2). The second population consists of 17 grains ranging from 2056 to 1971 Ma (weighted mean age of 2011±14 Ma, MSWD=9.7). Most zircons are fragments of larger crystals and vary from subhedral to rounded in form and well-defined to faint oscillatory zonings (Figure 3e3, e4). Three grains display discrete ages of 1867±11 Ma, 1839±12 Ma and LING WenLi, et al.

A 11-grain population displays a successive cluster from 971 to 881 Ma, showing rounded surfaces and clean oscillatory zoning or sectors (Figure 3e5, e6). The largest population consists of 39 grains ranging from 835 to 773 Ma. These zircons show forms of rounded stubby to euhedral elongate with well-developed oscillatory zoning (Figure 3e7, e8). 2446 LING WenLi, et al. Chinese Sci Bull August (2010) Vol.55 No.22 High similarity in age spectra between the detrital zircons from the sandstones and the river-sand, respectively, suggests that both approaches are effective for provenance tracing. 4 Discussion 4.1 Maximum depositional age and stratigraphic sequence of the Wudangshan Gp The Wudangshan Gp is one of the key units to understand the Precambrian history of the South Qinling. However, whether the Wudangshan Gp in fact consists of diverse age volcanic-sedimentary suites (Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic [13]) and if the Yangping Fm overlies or underlies the Shuangtai Fm (normal or reverse sequence [11]) remain hot issues for debate. A recent study by the present authors has shown that the volcanic rocks collected from 5 diverse cross sections of the Wudangshan Gp were exclusively formed at ~755 Ma [15], while the results here reveal that the youngest detrital zircons from the Yangping and Shuangtai Fms are ~780 and ~755 Ma, respectively. Besides, the coevality between the Shuangtai detrital zircons and the Shuangtai volcanism infers an intra-formation provenance by rapid erosion. These suggest that the whole strata of Wudangshan Group are Neoproterozoic with a maximum age less than 780 Ma; the strata have a normal stratigraphic sequence, i.e. the Yangping Fm is overlain by the Shuangtai Fm. 4.2 Neoproterozoic correlation of the South Qinling with the northern SCB margin As previously mentioned, contrasting views (i.e. independent micro-continent [1,6] versus orogen-involved segment [20,21]) have been proposed on the South Qinling-SCB relation. Figure 4 illustrates U-Pb age histograms for the detrital zircons along with that for the inherited zircons hosted by the Wudangshan, Yaolinghe volcanic suites and the intrusive sills [15]. As a whole, the zircons can be divided into four groups of ~2.4, 2.0–2.2, 1.7–1.8 and 0.78–1.0 Ga, respectively. Well documented data have revealed that the Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic magmatic activities were variably recorded both in the NCB [22–26] and SCB [27–30]. Hence it is difficult to use these ages to trace the sedimentary provenance of the Wudangshan succession. However, the cluster range of 1.0–0.78 Ga for the largest detrital zircon population is comparable with the timings of the Neoproterozoic igneous activities widely occurred in the SCB. Zircons with this age range from the Dabie metamorphic rocks have been used to identify as a SCB affinity for the host rocks [31,32]. The igneous activities occurred at ~1.0–0.9 Ga and 0.83–0.78 Ga have been suggested to be arc-and rift-related, respectively [33–35], though divergent views both on the timing and tectonic set- Figure 4 U-Pb age spectrum histograms for detrital zircons from the Shuangtai (a) and Yangping (b,c) Fms and the local river sands (d,e) comparing with that for the inherited zircons from the Neoproterozoic Wudang igneous suites [15](f). ting remain [36–38]. It was also alternatively proposed that arc-related and arc-continent collision-related magmatisms occurred at 1.3–1.0 and 0.97–0.86 Ga, respectively, during the Rodinia assemblage, while the 0.83–0.74 Ga igneous suites were formed by post-collision magmatism resulted from the orogen collapse due to lithospheric extension [38]. Actually, ~1.0–0.78 Ga igneous activities were successively recorded only in the Hannan of the northern SCB margin [35] and in the southeastern SCB (i.e. Jiangnan orogen). Of the ~750 Ma events, those occurred in the western [39] and northern (the Dabie orogen) [9] margins of the SCB are suggested to be rift-related, whereas those occurred in the LING WenLi, et al. Chinese Sci Bull southeastern margin to be orogen collapse-related [32,38]. The abundant 1.0–0.78 Ga detrital/inherited zircons thus suggest that the Wudangshan strata had a Hannan-like provenance, and that the Wudang area has a basement comprising rocks resembling the Hannan Neoproterozoic igneous suites. Hence it is proposed that the South Qinling was a marginal segment of the SCB during the early Neoproterozoic. 4.3 Linkage of the Neoproterozoic South Qinling with Rodinia breakup It is notable that ~680 Ma magmatism is uniquely recognized in the South Qinling, while ~750 magmatic suites are restricted to the Yangtze marginal areas (i.e. the western Sichuan [39], the Dabie [8,9] and Jiangnan orogenic belts [32,38,40]). This implies that the South Qinling experienced a tectonic evolution different from the SCB during the mid-late Neoproterozoic. Accordingly, the ~750 and 680 Ma zircons hosted by eclogitic suites in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt suggest that the subducted continental segment has a South Qinling affinity. A number of studies have shown that the ~680 Ma Yaolinghe and the intrusive magmatisms were rift-related [12,15,41–44]. Though synchronous rocks are lacking within the SCB, ~680 Ma magmatisms have been reported on the Seward Peninsula in northwestern Alaska [45] and in the southern to central Appalachians of eastern North America [46]. These suites are suggested to be comparable with the magmatic belt in eastern North America and the Svalbard, which were resulted from a separation from the Laurentia during Rodinia breakup [46]. In addition, a large-scale mafic dyke swarm occurs at the Mundine Well, northwestern Australia. It was dated at 755±3 Ma [47] and suggested to be a mantle plume-related origin [48]. We thus propose that the ~755 Ma magmatic event indicates a separation of the northern SCB margin from Rodinia, while the ~680 Ma event likely implies a further split between the South Qinling and some unknown continent [15].
