Abstract
금당도지역에 분포하는 화성암은 구성광물, 야외증거와 산상을 근거로 유문암, 반정질유문암, 중성맥암으로 구분되어 진다. TAS(total alkali-silica) 다이아그램에서 유문암은 유문암-데사이트의 영역에 그리고 반정질유문암은 유문암 영역에 속한다. 유문암과 반정질유문암의 생성시기를 밝히기 위하여 전암을 이용한 K-Ar법으로 절대연대측정이 수행되었으며 그 결과 전자는 76-78Ma로 백악기말 캄파니안에, 후자는 71-72Ma로 캄파니안과 마스트리크티안의 경계에 속한다. 이 지질연대는 백악기말 동안 한반도 남부지역에서 활발하게 진행되었던 유천층군의 화성활동에 대비된다. 한반도 서남부지역에 분포하는 화산암과 백악기층에서 발견되는 다양한 시기와 성분을 갖는 화산암의 지질연대를 근거로 이 지역에서 108-71Ma 사이에 유라시아판과 태평양판의 충돌에 의한 활발한 화성활동이 지속적으로 진행되었을 지시한다. Based on mineral assemblages, field occurrences, the volcanic rocks distributed in the Geumdang Island area are divided into three types: rhyolite, porphyritic rhyolite and intermediated dyke rock. In a diagram of [TAS (total alkali-silica)], rhyolites and porphyritic rhyolites belong to the rhyolite-dacite field and rhyolite field, respectively. As to the times when the rhyolite and porphyritic rhyolite rocks were formed a whole rock K-Ar age was obtained. These absolute age determinations have revealed that the former (rhyolite) has an age of 76-78 Ma and belongs to the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) and the latter (porphyritic rhyolite) is 71-72 Ma in age and thus belongs to the boundary between the Campanian and Maastrichtian. These geological ages are associated with the igneous activity of the Yuchon Group which occurred vigorously in the southern part of the Korean peninsula during the Late Cretaceous. The various geological ages of volcanic rocks distributed in the southwestern part of the peninsula and of igneous rocks found in the Cretaceous formation which contain a wide variety of minerals indicate that in this area, volcanic activities continued vigorously as a result of the collision of the Eurasian and Pacific Plates between 108-71 Ma.
