Abstract

Zircon separated from a biotite schist of the Guryong Group in Odesan area, eastern part of the Gyeonggi Massif in Korea were analysed for SHRIMP U-Pb ages. CL images display composite core-rim structures of the zircon, indicating an in-situ overgrowth of zircon through a high-grade metamorphism. The metamorphic zircon rims give a weighted mean age of $247{\pm}6Ma$. While the detrital zircon cores have zoning patterns and Th/U ratios indicative of a magmatic origin. Among 53 analyses from the cores, 46 data yield near concordant ages which are concentrated at $378{\pm}10Ma$ (n=9), $420{\pm}4Ma$ (n=6) and $1845{\pm}9Ma$ (n=18) with sporadic Neoproterozoic ($687{\pm}9Ma$) to late Archean ($2519{\pm}20Ma$) ages. The age data constraint sedimentation age of protolith of the Guryong Group, so far unknown, as late Paleozoic. The Guryong Group of this study is the first late Paleozoic strata reported from eastern Gyeonggi Massif, and its maximum depositional age (ca 378 Ma) is identical with those of the late Paleozoic strata in the southwestern Ogcheon Belt. The Triassic metamorphic age and abundant middle Paleozoic provenance (361~425 Ma) of the Guryong Group are similar with those reported from the Triassic collisional belt in central China. Thus this study indicates that the Odesan area would be an possible eastward extension of the Triassic collisional belt in central China.

경기육괴 동부 오대산 지역의 구룡층군 흑운모 편암에 대한 SHRIMP U-Pb 저어콘 연대를 측정하였다. CL 영상에서 저어콘은 변성작용에 의해 원위치에서 성장한 가중평균연령 $247{\pm}6Ma$의 저어콘 외연부를 갖는다. 쇄설성 저어콘 핵은 대부분 마그마기원을 지시하는 누대구조와 Th/U 비를 보이고, 53점의 분석치에서 46점이 일치연령에 가까운 자료에 해당한다. 이들은 가중평균 $378{\pm}10Ma$(n=9), $420{\pm}4Ma$(n=6)와 $1845{\pm}9Ma$ (n=18)의 집중군과 신원생대에서 시생대 최후기에 걸친 $687{\pm}9Ma$에서 $2519{\pm}20Ma$의 산발적인 연령을 보인다. 이 연구의 연대자료는 지금까지 시대미상이었던 구룡층군이 경기육괴 동부에서 최초로 보고되는 고생대 후기 지층으로서 최고 퇴적시기가 옥천대 남서부의 퇴적층에 대비될 수 있음을 나타낸다. 또한 이 연구에서 제시하는 중국 중앙부 충돌대의 경우와 같은 구룡층군의 트라이아스기의 변성시기와 고생대 중기(361~425 Ma)의 쇄설성 저어콘 연대는 오대산 지역이 중국 충돌대의 영향을 받은 지역 혹은 그의 연장부에 해당할 가능성을 시사한다.
