Abstract

The Xing’an–Mongolia orogenic belt places at the southeastern margin of the Central Asian orogenic belt, is important for unraveling the tectonic evolution of the accretionary orogens. The validity of existing models that account for the development and closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean critically depends on the assumed initial configuration and evolution process of the various microcontinents that were separated by the ophiolitic belts or suture zones, and deep faults. In this work, we present a newly discovered Dashizhai ophiolitic mélange belt in the Ulanhot region, and systematically investigate the occurrence through petrology and geochronology of this ophiolitic mélange. The Dashizhai ophiolitic mélange belt is a typical SSZ-type ophiolitic mélange, has a block-in-matrix structure, the blocks include ophiolitic ultramafic rock, volcanic rock, siliceous rock and gabbro in a matrix of deformed Early Permian slate. Our new geochronology data suggest that the Dashizhai ophiolitic mélange belt should form in the early Permian or younger and emplaced before the late Permian deposition. By focusing on the regional geologic history of the southeastern Xing’an–Mongolia orogenic belt, the Dashizhai ophiolitic mélange belt together with northeast-migrating Hehei fault zone were suggested as the tectonic boundary between the Xing’an and Songliao–Xilinhot blocks.
