Abstract

SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages and major element and Sr-Nd isotopic compositions were determined for drill cores (374-3390 m in depth) recovered from three boreholes in the Pohonag basin, southeastern Korea. Shallow-seated volcanic rocks and underlain plutonic rocks were geochemically classified as rhyolite and gabbro-granite, respectively. They showed high-K calc-alkaline trends on the $K_2O-SiO_2$ and AFM diagrams. Zircons from volcanic rocks of borehole PB-1 yielded concordia ages of $66.84{\pm}0.66Ma$ (n=12, MSWD=0.02) and $66.52{\pm}0.55Ma$ (n=12, MSWD=0.46). Zircons from volcanic rocks of borehole PB-2 gave a concordia age of $71.34{\pm}0.85Ma$ (n=11, MSWD=0.79) and a weighted mean $^{206}Pb/^{238}U$ ages of $49.40{\pm}0.37Ma$ (n=11, MSWD=1.9). On the other hand, zircons from plutonic rocks of borehole PB-3 yielded weighted mean $^{206}Pb/^{238}U$ ages of $262.4{\pm}3.6Ma$ (n=21, MSWD=4.5), $252.4{\pm}3.6Ma$ (n=8, MSWD=1.9) and $261.8{\pm}1.5Ma$ (n=31, MSWD=1.3). Detrital zircons from the sedimentary strata overlain the volcanic rocks showed a wide age span from Neoproterozoic to Cenozoic, with the youngest population corresponding to $21.89{\pm}1.1Ma$ (n=15, MSWD=0.04) and $21.68{\pm}1.2Ma$ (n=10, MSWD=19). These dating results indicate that the basement of the Pohang basin is composed of Late Permian plutonic rocks and overlain Late Cretaceous to Eocene volcanic sequences. Miocene sediments were deposited in the uppermost part of the basin, possibly associated with the opening of the East Sea. The Sr-Nd isotopic compositions of the Permian plutonic rocks were comparable with those reported from Permian-Triassic granitoids in the Yeongdeok area, northern Gyeongsang basin. They may have been recycled into parts of the Cretaceous-Paleogene magmatic rocks within the Gyeongsang basin.

포항분지 374-3390 m 심도에서 채취한 3개 시추공 코어 시료의 SHRIMP U-Pb 저어콘 연대측정과 함께 주원소 및 Sr-Nd 동위원소 분석을 실시하였다. 주성분 원소 분석 결과 총알칼리-규산 도표에서 천부화산암은 유문암으로, 심부심성암은 반려암과 화강암으로 도시되었으며 AFM 다이아그램에서는 칼크-알칼리 계열의 분화경향을 보인다. $K_2O-SiO_2$ 상관도에 따르면 모두 High-K 영역에 속하며 일부 주성분원소들은 $SiO_2$ 함량에 따른 상관성을 보인다. SHRIMP 저어콘 U-Pb 연대측정 결과 한 시추공의 천부화산암에 대해 $66.84{\pm}0.66Ma$ (n=12, MSWD=0.02)와 $66.52{\pm}0.55Ma$ (n=12, MSWD=0.46)의 일치곡선연령 값을 획득하였으며, 다른 시추공의 화산암에 대해서는 $71.34{\pm}0.85Ma$ (n=11, MSWD=0.79)와 $49.40{\pm}0.37Ma$ (n=11, MSWD=1.9)의 일치곡선연령 값과 가중평균 값을 획득하였다. 또 다른 시추공의 화강암에서 추출한 저어콘은 $261.8{\pm}1.5Ma$(n=31, MSWD=1.3)의 가중평균값을 나타내었고 반려암에서 추출한 저어콘은 조직적 특징에 따라 $262.4{\pm}3.6Ma$ (n=21, MSWD=4.5)와 $252.4{\pm}3.6Ma$ (n=8, MSWD=1.9)의 연대를 보였다. 천부화산암 상부 퇴적암의 연대측정 결과 신원생대에서 신생대까지 다양한 분포를 보였으며 $21.89{\pm}1.1Ma$ (n=15, MSWD=0.04)와 $21.68{\pm}1.2Ma$ (n=10, MSWD=19)의 가장 젊은 일치곡선연령이 구해졌다. 이 연구 결과는 포항분지 심부가 페름기 후기에서 에오세에 이르기까지 비교적 긴 시간에 걸쳐 형성된 심성암 및 화산암체로 구성되어 있으며 그 상위에 아마도 동해확장과 관련되어 마이오세 초기 이후에 퇴적된 지층이 피복하고 있음을 지시한다. 페름기 심부심성암의 전암 $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ 초기치 (0.7034-0.7042)와 ${\varepsilon}_{Nd}$ 초기치 (4.0-5.1)는 비슷한 연대범위를 가지는 영덕 지역의 화강암류와 유사하며 이들 화강암류가 백악기-제3기의 경상분지 화강암 기원물질로 재순환되었을 가능성을 시사한다.
