  • The Cretaceous Eumsung (Eumseong) Basin is a pull-apart basin, formed along a series of the Gongju strike-slip faults trending NE-SW. The Nongdari-Meer forest of the Gugokri area in the southwestern part of the basin is comprised of thick purple mudstone, intercalating conglomerate, pebbly sandstone, and green mudstone beds. The succession mainly consists of seven sedimentary facies: stratified conglomerate (C2), conglomerate encased in siltstone (CE), stratified pebbly sandstone encased in siltstone (PSE2), purple sandy siltstone (Zp), green sandy siltstone (Zg), purple mudstone (Mp), and green mudstone (Mg). Sedimentary environment is mainly indicative of alluvial-plain setting in an alluvial-to-lacustrine sedimentary system, developed in the southwestern part of the basin. Geological survey was fulfilled in succession of the Gugokri sedimentary system using 1:5000 topographic map, which resulted in a geological route map. This study newly suggested that there be fluvial systems showing ENE and NNE trends in the study area, based on data of palaeocurrent direction and sedimentary characteristics in new outcrops of the forest. The study also revised the precedent sedimentation model of the Gugokri system.

  • The Mesozoic activity on the Korean Peninsula is mainly represented by the Triassic post-collisional, Jurassic orogenic, and Cretaceous post-orogenic igneous activities. The diversity of mineralization by each geological period came from various geothermal systems derived from the geochemical characteristics of magma with different emplacement depth. The Cretaceous metallic mineralization has been carried out over a wide range of time periods from ca. 115 to 45 Ma (main stage; ca. 100 to 60 Ma) related to post-orogenic igneous activity, and spatial distribution patterns of most metal deposits are concentrated along small granitic stocks. The late Cretaceous metal deposits in the Gyeonggi and Yeongnam massifs are generally distributed along the boundary among the Gongju-Eumseong fault system and the Yeongdong-Gwangju fault system and the Gyeongsang Basin, most of them are in the form of a distal epithermal~mesothermal Au-Ag vein or a transitional mesothermal Zn-Pb-Cu vein. On the other hand, diverse metal commodities in the Taebaeg Basin, the Okcheon metamorphic belt and the Gyeongsang Basin are produced from various deposit types such as skarn, carbonate-replacement, vein, porphyry, breccia pipe, and Carlin type. In the late Cretaceous metallic mineralization, various mineral deposits and commodities were induced not only by the pathway of the hydrothermal solution, but also by the diversity of precipitation environment in the proximity difference of the granitic rocks. The diversity of these types of Cretaceous deposits is fundamentally dependent on the geochemical characteristics such as degree of differentiation and oxidation state of related igneous rocks, and ore-forming fluids generally exhibit the evolutionary characteristics of intermediate- to low-sulfur hydrothermal fluids.

  • A new high-resolution rnagnetotelluric (MT) survey was conducted for pull-apart basin analysis (Cretaceous Eumsung Basin), combined with surface sedimentological results. Two cross-basinal MT profiles represent an asymmetric form with a subbasin in the southeastern part. These basinal architectures are well compatible with paleoflow directions and facies transitions of surface sedimentology. The results also suggest that the basin fills reflect pull-apart opening with rapid subsidence of the central blocks. Combined with the surface sedimentological data on asymmetric lithofacies distribution, facies transitions, and paleoflow directions of the alluvio-lacustrine systems, the MT data help explain basin-fill processes during the basin formation. For petroleum exploration and basin analysis, the high-frequency MT technique can be a useful substitute for the costly burden of a seismic-reflection survey on land.

  • Paleomagnetic and rock-magnetic investigations have been carried out for the Cretaceous sedimentary rocks in the Poongam (also called Gapcheon) Basin in the eastern South Korea. A total of 128 independently oriented core samples were drilled from 13 sites for this study. The mean direction after bedding correction (D/I=353.1$^{\circ}$/55.6$^{\circ}$, k=21.5, =$$\alpha$_{95}$=10.1$^{\circ}$) is more dispersed than the mean direction before bedding correction (D/I=10.5$^{\circ}$/56.9$^{\circ}$, k=73.9, =$$\alpha$_{95}$=5.3$^{\circ}$), and the stepwise unfolding of the characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) reveals a maximum value of k at 20% unfolding. Secondary authigenic hematite accompanied by altered clays such as chlorite was identified by the electron microscope observations. These results collectively imply that the ChRM is remagnetized due to the formation of the secondary authigenic hematite after tilting of the strata. It is interpreted that the chemical remagnetization was connected to the introduction of mixed magmatic-meteoric fluids, which formed hydrothermal vein deposits near the study area. The paleomagnetic pole position (214.3$^{\circ}$E, 81.6$^{\circ}$N, =$A_{95}$=7.4$^{\circ}$) of the Cretaceous sedimentary rocks calculated from remagnetized directions is close to those of the Late Cretaceous and Tertiary poles of the Korean Peninsula. This Late Cretaceous to Tertiary remagnetization seems to be widespread over the Okcheon Belt because the chemical remagnetization is previously reported to be found in rocks from other Cretaceous small basins (e.g., Eumseong, Gongju and Youngdong basins) along the Okcheon Belt and some Paleozoic strata from the Okcheon unmetamorphosed zone.

  • The Mugeuk mineralized area that associated with the pull-apart type Cretaceous Eumseong basin is composed of several gold-silver vein deposits that are emplaced in late Cretaceous biotite granite. The gold-silver deposits in the area show various hydrothermal alteration zones as well as Au/Ag ratios and ore mineralogy. The Geumbong mine showing relatively high gold fineness is composed of multiple veins and show alteration pattern; vein \longrightarrow phyllic \longrightarrow subphyllic \longrightarrow propylitic \longrightarrow subpropylitic zone. In contrast, The Taegeuk mines show the low fineness values, in far southern part are characterized by increasing tendency of simple and/or stockwork veins. The deposit displays alteration pattern; vein \longrightarrow propylitic \longrightarrow subpropylitic zone. Variations of alteration zone with depth show that phyllic zone are dominant in deeper level and propylitic zone sporadically overlapped by argillic zone are dominant in shallow level. The differences of alteration pattern between the gold-silver deposits are reflect the evolution of the hydrothermal fluids; the ore-forming fluids of the Geumbong mine are at relatively high temperature and salinity and highly-evolved meteoric water, developing phyllic zone, the Taegeuk mine containing greater amounts of less-evolved meteoric waters shows relatively low temperature and salinity in ore-forming fluids, developing propylitic zone. The various physicochemical environment for gold-silver mineralization in the Mugeuk mineralized area is due to proximity from heat source area (Mugeuk mine) to marginal area (Taegeuk mine) in a geothermal field. Therefore, it is suggested that the criteria for project exploration in the area are to focus on the area proximal to heat source and phyllic zone.

  • 남한에 분포하는 현생 화강암류는 트라이아스기-쥬라기의 소위 대보화강암과 백악기-제3기의 불국사화강암으로 분류되어 왔다. 대보조산운동은 대동누층군의 퇴적이후에 일어난 조구조운동을 지칭하므로 트라이아스기의 화강암을 포함하는 대보화강암이라는 명칭은 그와 사실상 직접적인 관계는 없다. 트라이아스기-쥬라기의 화강암은 영덕, 청송 암체 외에는 경상분지 밖에 위치하고 백악기-제3기의 화강암은 속리산, 월악산 암체 외에는 경상분지 안쪽에 주로 분포한다. 트라이아스기-쥬라기의 화강암 중 영광-대전-청주-충주-원주-강릉 방면에 걸쳐 북동-남서 방향으로 분포하는 화강암질 저반은 남한에서 가장 넓은 면적을 차지하는 화강암체지만 신뢰할만한 연대측정 자료가 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이 화강암질 저반에 대해서는 Rb-Sr, K-Ar법이 해답을 주기 어렵다. 예를 들어 청주-음성-증평 지역의 화강암류에 대한 Rb-Sr 전암 자료는 분산이 심하며 약 380 Ma에 해당되는 초시선을 보여 기원물질의 불균질성 내지 불완전한 혼합 효과를 반영하고 있다. 옥천대와 영남육괴에 분포하는 일부 화강암체에 대해 잘못 보고된 Rb-Sr 전암연대 역시 모두 중광물의 U-Pb 연대보다 오래된 값을 보이는 것으로 보아 이들은 생성 당시부터 일정한 $^{87}$ Sr/$^{86}$Sr 초기치를 가지지 않고 Rb/Sr 비에 따른 양(+)의 기울기를 가졌음이 확실하다. 과잉의 방사기원 Ar을 가지거나 폐쇄온도가 낮은 광물들을 대상으로 한 K-Ar 자료 역시 화강암체의 관입편대를 정확하게 지시할 수는 없다. 우리는 이에 대한 연구의 일환으로 충청남도 청원군의 물류센터에서 채취한 중립질의 흑운모화강암 한 시료에 대한 U-Pb 스핀연대측정 결과를 다음과 같이 보고한다. $^{206}$ Pb$^{*}$ /$^{238}$ U age = 174.6$\pm$2.7 Ma $^{207}$ Pb$^{*}$ /$^{235}$ U age = 170.3$\pm$14.6 Ma $^{207}$ Pb$^{*}$ /$^{206}$ Pb sup */ age = 111$\pm$187 Ma 위에서 볼 수 있듯이 청주화강암의 스핀에 대해 콘코던트(concordant)한 연대가 얻어졌으며 자료의 오차, 스핀의 U-Pb계에 대한 폐쇄온도 및 화강암의 솔리더스(solidus)를 고려할 때 $^{206}$ Pb$^{*}$ /$^{238}$ U 연대인 174.6$\pm$2.7 Ma를 관입정치시기로 해석한다. 동일 시료의 흑운모에 대해서는 145 Ma의 Rb-Sr 연대가 얻어졌으며 따라서 관입이후 약 35$0^{\circ}C$까지 대략 1$0^{\circ}C$/Ma의 냉각속도를 구할 수 있었다. 청주화강암의 쥬라기 중기 연대는 영광-대전-청주-충주-원주-강릉 지역의 화강암질 저반이 대동누층군 퇴적 이후에 일어난 지구조 사건과 연관되었을 가능성을 지시하지만 이를 확인하기 위해서는 더 많은 자료가 요구된다. 우리는 현재 충주, 괴산 지역의 화강암체에 대해서도 스핀 연대측정을 수행중에 있으며 이들 자료를 암상을 구분하여 해석한다면 우리나라 중생대 지구조운동에 대한 새로운 사실이 밝혀질 수 있을 것으로 믿는다.

  • Detailed mapping along the Keumwang fault reveals a complex history of multiple brittle reactivations following late Jurassic and early Cretaceous ductile shearing. The fault core consists of a 10~50 m thick fault gouge layer bounded by a 30~100 m thick damaged zone. The Pre-cambrian gneiss and Jurassic granite underwent at least six distinct stages of fault movements based on deformation environment, time and mechanism. Each stage characterized by fault kinematics and dynamics at different deformation environment. Stage 1 generated mylonite series along the Keumwang shear zone by sinistral ductile shearing during late Jurassic and early Cretaceous. Stage 2 was a mostly brittle event generating cataclasite series superimposed on the mylonite series of the Keumwang shear zone. The roundness of pophyroclastes and the amount of matrix increase from host rocks to ultracataclasite indicating stronger cataclastic flow toward the fault core. At stage 3, fault gouge layer superimposed on the cataclasite generated during stage 2 and the sedimentary basins (Umsung and Pungam) formed along the fault by sinistral strike-slip movement. Fragments of older cataclasite suspended in the fault gouge suggest extensive reworking of fault rocks at brittle deformation environments. At stage 4, systematic en-echelon folds, joints and faults were formed in the sedimentary basins by sinistral strike-slip reactivation of the Keumwang fault. Most of the shearing is accommodated by slip along foliations and on discrete shear surfaces, while shear deformation tends to be relatively uniformly distributed within the fault damage zone developed in the mudrocks in the sedimentary basins. Fine-grained andesitic rocks intruded during stage 4. Stage 5 dextral strike-slip activity produced shear planes and bands in the andesitic rocks. ESR(Electron Spin Resonance) dates of fault gouge show temporal clustering within active period and migrating along the strike of the Keumwang fault during the stage 6 at the Quaternary period.
