Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was aimed at revealing provenance of sediments by using the LA-ICP-MS analyses of U-Pb ages of detritus zircons on thin section and separated grain. The samples are collected from the Ishigaki-jima Island (Okinawa Pref.), Nomo Peninsula (Nagasaki Pref.) and Nishiki-cho (Yamaguchi Pref.) areas, all of which belong to the high-pressure type of metamorphic belts. The results show that the meta-sediments contain detritus zircons with ages ranging from Ca. 3000 Ma to 200 Ma. The older ages represent the precursor derived from the North China Craton. The younger ages mean the final deposition ages of samples, and then, these younger zircon-bearing rocks were suffered the metamorphism. It is, therefore, emphasized that these metamorphic rocks are products formed by the E-W subduction of oceanic crust beneath the continental crust composed of both the collided North and South China Cratons, just after the N-S collision between the North and South China Cratons.
