ПЕТРО- И ПАЛЕОМАГНЕТИЗМ МАФИТОВЫХ ДАЕК СЕРГЕЕВСКОГО ТЕРРЕЙНА (ЮЖНЫЙ СИХОТЭ-АЛИНЬ)

Abstract

The paper presents the results of paleomagnetic and rock magnetic studies of rocks from the mafic dikes of the Sergeevka terrane that intruded the basement rocks. Currently, they are widespread in coastal outcrops of the eastern part of the Peter the Great Bay of the Sea of Japan between Anna and Priboinaya bays in the south of Primorsky Krai. Structural information allows us to conclude that dikes of both the eastern (Srednyaya Bay-Priboinaya Bay) and the western (Anna Bay-Cape De Livron) clusters intruded from the igneous centers of the same strike. Rocks of the dikes have undergone significant secondary alterations. Inverse magnetic fabric in the dikes is the result of high-temperature decomposition and granulation of primary titanomagnetites during postmagmatic deformations and metamorphism, traces of which are clearly visible in the microscopic and microprobe study of secondary alteration products. All this testifies to a significant secondary change in the rocks of the dikes after their intrusion. This is the secondary heating of the dikes above a temperature of 600 °C, that is, above the Curie point of magnetite (578 °C). The nature of the isolated high-temperature NRM component of the dikes is not primary, but secondary, that is, metachronous. The paleomagnetic data constrained the time of the metamorphic event leading to the remagnetization of mafic dikes of the Sergeevka terrane to ca. 250 Ma. The calculated paleolatitude of the Sergeevka terrane at the time of acquisition of the metachronous NRM component by mafic dikes (21.8 ± 4.2° N) is consistent with the paleolatitudes of the northeastern edge of the North China Craton at the Late Permian/Early Triassic boundary.
