Abstract

Abstract

There are folds and thrust faults in Mesozoic strata in the northern continental margin of the South China Sea, however, their geneses are still in controversy. In this study, 2D seismic profiles in the southeast region of the Pearl River Mouth basin (PRMB) are interpreted. Two northeastwards thrusting faults with approximately NW-SE strike are identified in the area of Yunli lower uplift, Xingli rise and Xingning sag, and two approximately north-south striking compressional strike-slip faults are distinguished in the southern area of Dongsha uplift. The 4 faults mentioned above are about 130, 110, 55 and 58 km long, respectively. It can be concluded that the Liyue (Reed) Bank-Palawan block which lies in the southern continental margin of the SCS underwent a soft collision with South China continental margin in Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, and they finally united and sutured in Late Cretaceous approximately along Liwan to Xingning sags. The afore-mentioned 4 faults may be the circumstantial evidences for the final uniting and suturing between the Liyue Bank-Palawan block and the South China continental margin in the Late Cretaceous. Because of the retreat of the Pacific subducting slab in the Late Cretaceous, the overriding South China continental margin regionally and isostatically uplifted before it began to rift in the latest Cretaceous, whereas the coeval collision between the Liyue Bank-Palawan block and the South China continental margin was localized in the southeast of the PRMB.
