Abstract

Abstract

The rapid Mesozoic-Cenozoic exhumation of the Tianshan mountain range is of great significance for understanding its tectonic evolution process. However, the main exhumation time of the Mesozoic-Cenozoic remains controversial. In this study, we report new detrital apatite fission track data from the Mesozoic sedimentary succession on the northern margin of the Tarim basin (Kuqa river section) and the Early Permian rhyolite inverse thermal history modelling results. Thermochronologic age trends along the analyzed succession reveal two major age populations in 143.0-148.9 Ma and 35.7-38.1 Ma, of which the younger population has been completely reset, indicative of the exhumation information of the Kuqa depression. Inverse thermal history modelling results show a rapid cooling event occurred at 160-140 Ma. We infer that the compressive stress generated from collision between Lhasa and the southern margin of Eurasia transmitted to the Tianshan mountain range through the rigid Tarim, which caused that the Tianshan mountain range underwent strong uplift and denudation in the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous, generating widely distributed conglomerate in the Early Cretaceous Yageliemu Formation and angular unconformity developed in the Late Jurassic- Early Cretaceous strata. During the Eocene, the Tianshan was subjected to rapid uplift and intensified deformation in response to the continuous collision of several plates on the southern margin of Eurasia. And the compressive stress propagated southward, which caused that the Kuqa depression underwent uplift in the Late Eocene.
