The study of the age of the Fengcheng Formation in the Junggar Basin reveals crucial information on the impact of the late Paleozoic ice age on the Northern Hemisphere. Through various isotope analyses, the deposition age of the Fengcheng Formation is determined to be around 300 million years ago, indicating its connection with the late Carboniferous warming period and the late Paleozoic ice age.
The age of the Fengcheng Formation in the Junggar Basin, China, is key to understanding the effects of the late Paleozoic ice age (LPIA) on the Northern Hemisphere. Here we present zircon U-Pb age and Hf isotope data, along with stable C-O isotoope data, and discuss the implications of these for the LPIA. The age of the Fengcheng Formation is constrained to ca. 300 Ma (i.e., Kasimovian-Asselian), which is at the Carboniferous-Permian boundary. Most of the Fengcheng Formation was deposited during the late Carboniferous warming period and partly during the LPIA Glacial III/P1. The C isotope data and occurrence of evaporites sensitively record the LPIA. The Hf isotope data record the complete closure of the paleo-Junggar Ocean at ca. 300 Ma. The hydrologically restricted Junggar Basin was likely affected by the LPIA due to an atmosphere-hydrological response. The complete closure of the paleo-Junggar Ocean coincided broadly with the beginning of early Permian glaciation and hints at a subtle relationship between continental amalgamation and glaciation.
