Abstract

SHRIMP zircon U-Pb age dating is carried out for the Yeongju and Andong granite batholiths intruding the Precambrian metamorphic complex and Paleozoic sedimentary formations within the NE Yeongnam Massif, Korea. Dating of zircons from a hornblende-biotite tonalite and an equigranular biotite granodiorite in the Yeongju granite has yielded ages of ca. 187 Ma and ca. 186 Ma, respectively. Also, dating of zircons from a biotite granodiorite and a very coarse-grained biotite granite in the Andong granite has yielded ages of ca. 182Ma and ca. 186Ma, respectively. These data indicate that the main intrusions of the Yeongju and Andong granite batholiths occur almost at the same age. The oldest age of ca. 194 Ma has been determined on zircons from a hornblende gabbro in the Andong granite, and the youngest age of 175 Ma is obtained from the Chunyang granite pluton, mainly consisting of fine-grained two-mica granite, of the Yeongju batholith. These results indicate that Jurassic Daebo magmatism in the Yeongju-Andong area, NE Yeongnam massif, started early at the Early Jurassic with an intrusion of mafic magma, and followed by an emplacement voluminous granite magma during the middle of the Early Jurassic, and was finalized with the emplacement of relatively small amount of much evolved granite magma at the end of Early Jurassic.

영남육괴 북동부 지역에서 선캠브리아 변성암 복합체와 고생대 퇴적암층을 관입한 영주화강암과 안동화강암의 저반에 대한 SHRIMP U-Pb 저어콘 연대측정을 실시하였다. 영주화강암 저반의 대부분을 차지하는 각섬석-흑운모 토날라이트와 등립질 흑운모 화강섬록암은 각각 약 187Ma와 186Ma이다. 안동화강암 저반에서는 주 구성암체인 안동심성암체의 흑운모 화강섬록암과 극조립질 흑운모 화강암이 각각 182Ma와 186Ma를 나타낸다. 따라서 영주화강암과 안동화강암 저반의 연대는 오차범위 내에서 거의 일치한다. 한편 안동화강암 저반의 각섬석 반려암은 시료 중 가장 고기인 약 194 Ma이고, 영주화강암 저반 중 세립질 복운모 화강암으로 주로 구성된 춘양화강암은 가장 젊은 약 175 Ma이다. 이러한 연대측정 자료는 영남육괴 북동부인 영주-안동 지역에서의 쥬라기 대보 화성활동은 쥬라기 초에 고철질 마그마의 관입으로 시작되었고, 전기 쥬라기 중엽에 정점에 이르러 다량의 화강암질 마그마가 관입하였으며, 최종적으로 전기 쥬라기의 끝 무렵에 소량의 보다 분화된 화강암질 마그마가 관입하였음을 지시한다.
