Apatite Fission Track Evidence for Mesozoic-Cenozoic Differential Uplift on Both Sides of Qinfang Tectonic Belt in Southern Guangxi

摘要

The apatite fission track (AFT) chronology from the eight samples in both sides of the Qinfang tectonic belt shows that the AFT ages of three out of four samples in the southeast side of the tectonic belt are between 44.5±2.3 Ma and 53.2±5.7 Ma which is relatively younger. During 44.5~66.2 Ma, the uplift rate in the southeast side of the tectonic belt is 0.007~0.012 mm/a. Since 47.4 Ma, the average denudation rate is 0.095 mm/a, and the average uplift rate is 0.095 mm/a in the southeast side. Meanwhile, the AFT ages in the northwest side of the tectonic belt is (58.2±3.7)-(63.1±4.93) Ma which is obviously older. The average rate of denudation and uplift is 0.073 mm/a and 0.084 mm/a in the northwest side of the Qinfang tectonic belt since 61.5 Ma, obvious differential uplifting process in both sides of the Qinfang tectonic belt since Eocene.
