Abstract

Abstract

Rapid uplift period of formation of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis and the hypothesis of Tsangpo-Irrawaddy River connection have been debated for over half a century. A combination of detrital zircon U-Pb chronology and heavy mineral assemblages was employed to investigate the "source to sink" pathways of Cenozoic strata in Central Myanmar Basin (CMB). The Eocene sediments indicate an intrabasinal provenance and no uniform source area with the presence of large amounts of Chromian spinel as well as the heterogeneity of zircon age spectra between all depressions. Since Oligocene, it is found that local-derived source was gradually replaced by Mogok Metamorphic Belt(MMB) and Irrawaddy River began to develop, which is revealed by zircon age spectra in all depressions tending to be identical (with 40-70 Ma at major peaks and 80-110 Ma at secondary peaks) and heavy mineral assemblages derived from regional metamorphic rock constantly increasing. In addition, due to lack of signal of Himalayan orogenic belt in Central Myanmar Basin, it is believed that there is no possibility of Tsangpo-Irrawaddy connection during Oligocene and Early Miocene. In Late Miocene-Pleistocene, the occurrence of granatite and kyanite and 110-130 Ma age peaks representing Himalayan orogenic belt suggest that the Irrawaddy River had eroded to the eastern Himalayan syntaxis and attained a near-modern configuration of drainage networks. Consequently, rapid uplift of eastern Himalayan syntaxis should have occurred in the Late Miocene-Pleistocene.
