AbstractAlong the Qinling-Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt in China crops out the world's largest terrane composed of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks. Differences in the timing and mechanisms of oceanic and continental subductions are assumed to be responsible for different ages of high-pressure (HP) and UHP slices in different parts of the belt. The western part of the Dabie orogen (western Dabie terrane) holds a key to understanding of the transition from oceanic to continental subduction. This paper reports geochronological results to test a two-stage tectonic model for the exhumation of HP/UHP rocks in western Dabie. This model involves two different stages and types of extrusion for exhumation of the HP/UHP rocks in east-central China. Mica Ar/Ar ages, ranging from 241 to 231. Ma, indicate a general middle Triassic cooling probably driven by early upward extrusion during the collision between the North and South China Blocks. Late Triassic-Early Jurassic cooling was associated with later eastward extrusion, ranging from 200 to 184. Ma. The second event is recorded also in mica in the region that was not affected by later deformation and magmatism. The lateral movement along lithosphere-scale faults resulted in the eastward extrusion of the HP-UHP metamorphic terrane, which was followed, in the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic time, by a major compressive event. These two extrusion events are correlative with the two stages of Triassic exhumation of the western Dabie HP-UHP rocks, respectively. Wintin the framework of the Qinling-Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt, it is suggested for western Dabie that the subduction/exhumation of blueschist-facies unit is related to the Mianlue suture, whereas the subduction/exhumation of HP/UHP eclogite-facies units is related to the Shangdan suture. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
