Abstract U-Pb dating of calcite veins allows direct dating of brittle deformation events. Here, we apply this method to hydrothermal calcite veins in a fold-and-thrust belt and a large scale strike-slip fault zone in central and western Thailand, in an attempt to shed new light on the regional upper crustal deformation history. Calcite U-Pb dates for the Khao Khwang Fold and Thrust Belt (KKFTB) of 221 ± 7 Ma and 216 ± 3 Ma demonstrate that calcite precipitated during tectonic activity associated with stage II of the Indosinian Orogeny (Late Triassic – Early Jurassic). One additional sample from the KKFTB suggests that the Indosinian calcite has locally been overprinted by a Cenozoic fluid event with a different chemistry. For the Three Pagodas Fault Zone (TPFZ), our calcite U-Pb results suggest a complex, protracted history of Cenozoic brittle deformation. Petrographic information combined with contrasting redox-sensitive trace elemental signatures suggest that the vein arrays in the TPFZ precipitated during two distinct events of brittle deformation at ∼48 and ∼23 Ma. These dates are interpreted in the context of far-field brittle deformation related to the India-Eurasia collision. The presented calcite U-Pb dates are in excellent agreement with published age constraints on the deformation history of Thailand, demonstrating the utility of the method to decipher complex brittle deformation histories. The paper further illustrates some of the complexities in relation to calcite U-Pb dating and provides suggestions for untangling complex datasets that could be applied to future studies on the deformation history of Thailand and other regions.

泰国热液脉的原位方解石 U-Pb 年代学:印支和新生代变形的新限制

摘要 方解石脉的 U-Pb 测年允许对脆性变形事件进行直接测年。在这里,我们将这种方法应用于泰国中西部褶皱冲断带和大规模走滑断裂带中的热液方解石脉,试图揭示区域上地壳变形历史。Khao Khwang 褶皱和冲断带 (KKFTB) 的方解石 U-Pb 日期为 221 ± 7 Ma 和 216 ± 3 Ma,表明方解石在与印支造山运动第二阶段(晚三叠世 - 早侏罗世)相关的构造活动期间沉淀。来自 KKFTB 的另一个样本表明,印支方解石局部被具有不同化学性质的新生代流体事件叠加。对于三塔断裂带 (TPFZ),我们的方解石 U-Pb 结果表明一个复杂的、新生代脆性变形的漫长历史。岩相学信息与对比氧化还原敏感的微量元素特征相结合表明,TPFZ 中的脉阵列在~48 Ma 和~23 Ma 的两次不同的脆性变形事件中沉淀。这些日期是在与印度-欧亚大陆碰撞相关的远场脆性变形的背景下解释的。所提供的方解石 U-Pb 日期与公布的泰国变形历史的年龄限制非常吻合,证明了该方法在破译复杂脆性变形历史方面的实用性。该论文进一步说明了与方解石 U-Pb 测年相关的一些复杂性,并提供了解开复杂数据集的建议,这些数据集可用于未来对泰国和其他地区变形历史的研究。岩相学信息与对比氧化还原敏感的微量元素特征相结合表明,TPFZ 中的脉阵列在~48 和~23 Ma 的两次不同的脆性变形事件中沉淀。这些日期是在与印度-欧亚大陆碰撞相关的远场脆性变形的背景下解释的。所提供的方解石 U-Pb 日期与公布的泰国变形历史的年龄限制非常吻合,证明了该方法在破译复杂脆性变形历史方面的实用性。该论文进一步说明了与方解石 U-Pb 测年相关的一些复杂性,并提供了解开复杂数据集的建议,这些数据集可用于未来对泰国和其他地区变形历史的研究。岩相学信息与对比氧化还原敏感的微量元素特征相结合表明,TPFZ 中的脉阵列在~48 和~23 Ma 的两次不同的脆性变形事件中沉淀。这些日期是在与印度-欧亚大陆碰撞相关的远场脆性变形的背景下解释的。所提供的方解石 U-Pb 日期与公布的泰国变形历史的年龄限制非常吻合,证明了该方法在破译复杂脆性变形历史方面的实用性。该论文进一步说明了与方解石 U-Pb 测年相关的一些复杂性,并提供了解开复杂数据集的建议,这些数据集可用于未来对泰国和其他地区变形历史的研究。
