Through paleomagnetic and U-Pb geochronological studies of the volcanic rocks on the Jiaodong Peninsula, it is found that the Tan-Lu Fault experienced strike-slip movement in the Mesozoic, providing new constraints on the timing and magnitude of the displacement.
The Jiaodong Peninsula in eastern China is separated from the main mass of the North China Craton by the Tancheng-Lujiang (Tan-Lu) Fault, the largest fault system in eastern Asia. Although accumulating lines of evidence have suggested that the Tan-Lu Fault underwent strike-slip movement in the Mesozoic, there is still debate about the timing and magnitude of the displacement. To decipher this problem, we conducted paleomagnetic and U-Pb geochronological studies of the Lower Cretaceous volcanic rocks of the Qingshan Group on the Jiaodong Peninsula, to the east of the Tan-Lu Fault on the southeastern edge of the North China Craton. LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of zircons from five samples yielded consistent ages of ca. 120 Ma. Stepwise thermal demagnetization conducted on 308 samples (40 sites) from two sections revealed stable characteristic remanent magnetization directions. After paleomagnetic tests and rejecting inappropriate data, the mean direction from 288 samples (31 independent units) is 200.3 degrees/-51.4 degrees (alpha 95 = 4.1 degrees), with a corresponding pole at 215.1 degrees /73.0 degrees (A95 = 4.8 degrees). The paleolatitude calculated for the Jiaodong Peninsula is lower than that of the main block of the North China Craton, which indicates that latitudinal offset occurred between these two parts, and this offset can be ascribed to strike-slip movement along the Tan-Lu Fault. Our data provide new constraints on regional tectonic movement and Paleo-Pacific subduction processes during the late Mesozoic.
