Abstract
AbstractA new U–Pb dating and oxygen isotope analysis of zircons collected from a granitic mylonite and an undeformed granite in the Kamioka area, in the Hida Belt of southwest Japan, was conducted using a sensitive high‐resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) to restrict the timing of the mylonitization in the Funatsu Shear Zone, which is situated on the eastern and southeastern margins of the Hida Belt. Here, undeformed granite intrudes into the granitic mylonite deformed by mylonitization in the Funatsu Shear Zone. The granitic mylonite and the undeformed granite yielded U–Pb zircon ages of 242.6 ±1.9 Ma and 199.1 ±1.9 Ma, respectively. The granitic mylonite and the undeformed granite also yielded zircon oxygen isotope ratios (δ18OVSMOW) of 7.74 ±0.37 ‰ and 5.74 ±0.17 ‰, which suggests that these rocks are derived from different magmas. Therefore, the timing of the mylonitization in the Funatsu Shear Zone is constrained to be at least 242.6–199.1 Ma, which is consistent with other data from the Tateyama area. The U–Pb zircon ages of the banded gneiss in the Kamioka area also reveals that the protolith is a sedimentary rock deposited at approximately 256 Ma, and regional metamorphism occurred at 245.0 ±6.6 Ma, which indicates that the mylonitization in the Funatsu Shear Zone occurred after the metamorphism in the Hida Belt. These geochronological and geochemical data give new insight into the relationship between the Hida Belt and the eastern margin of the Asian continent: the geochronological and geochemical data in this study support the possibility that the Funatsu Shear Zone is comparable with the Cheongsan Shear Zone located at the center of the Ogcheon Belt on the Korean Peninsula.
