Abstract

The Hongjeom formation of the Pyeongan Supergroup in the Munkyeong coalfield mainly consists of metapsammite and metapelites. Metampelites occur as slate preserving chloritoid+chlorite+muscovite and andalusite+biotite+chlorite+muscovite mineral assemblages. Chloritoid and andalusite occur as porphyroblast, and the matrix composed of fine-grained micas. Metamorphic P-T conditions for these mineral assemblages are $510-520^{\circ}C$ and 3.0-3.5kbar based on P-T pseudosection in $MnO-K_2O-FeO-MgO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2-H_2O(MnKFMASH)$ system and isopleth intersections of Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios in chloritoid and chlorite. The medium temperature and low pressure metamorphism resulted from a higher geothermal gradient ($40-45^{\circ}C/km$) condition than that of burial metamorphism. The youngest (SHRIMP U-Pb age; ca. 327-310 Ma) detrital zircon grains from the Hongjeom formation display oscillatory zoning and relatively high Th/U ratio (0.60-1.12). Based on the previous sedimentary, paleontological, and geochronological studies in the Taebaeksan basin together with results of this study, we suggest that (1) initial deposition of the Hongjeom formation was contemporaneous with a magmatic activity in the provenance, (2) the Pyeongan Supergroup was deposited in an arc-related basin at an active continental margin during the Carboniferous to Permain, and (3) magmatic activities occurred repetitively in relatively short interval in the active continental margin had continuously supplied sediments to the basin.

문경탄전 주변에 분포하는 평안누층군의 홍점층은 주로 변성사질암과 변성이질암으로 구성되어 있다, 변성이질암은 대부분 점판암으로 산출되며, 경녹니석+녹니석+백운모 그리고 홍주석+흑운모+녹니석+백운모의 광물조합을 보인다. 경녹니석과 홍주석은 반상변정으로 산출되고, 세립의 운모류는 기질을 구성하고 있다. $MnO-K_2O-FeO-MgO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2-H_2O(MnKFMASH)$ 계에서 작성한 온도-압력 가상평형도과 경녹니석과 녹니석의 Fe/(Fe+Mg) 등성분도선의 교차영역을 통해 구한 이 변성광물 조합의 온도-압력 조건은 $510-520^{\circ}C$, 3.0-3.5 kbar이다. 이 중온-저압의 변성작용은 매몰 변성작용의 지온 구배율 보다 높은 지온 구배율(약 $40-45^{\circ}C/km$)환경 하에서 일어난 것으로 판단된다. 홍점층에서 얻은 가장 젊은 쇄설성 저어콘(SHRIMP U-Pb 연령: 약 327-310 Ma)은 진동구조와 높은 Th/U 비(0.60-1.12)를 보인다. 기존의 태백산분지의 만항층의 퇴적학적, 고생물학적, 지구연대학적 연구결과와 이번 연구결과를 종합해 보면, 문경지역 홍점층의 퇴적작용은 강릉지역의 만항층과 유사하게 기원지의 화성활동과 거의 동시기에 발생했음을 지시한다. 따라서 평안누층군은 석탄기-폐름기 동안 능동적 대륙 연변부의 화산호 주변 환경 하에서 퇴적작용 일어났고, 또한 기원지에서는 화성활동이 비교적 짧은 시간 간격으로 반복적으로 일어난 것으로 판단된다.
