Abstract
The results of the paleomagnetic investigation of the sediments pertaining to the Silasinskaya Formation of the Kiselevka–Manoma terrane within the Sikhote Alin orogenic belt are presented. The ancient prefolding magnetization component is revealed: Decs = 271.7°, Incs = 52.2°, Ks = 13.5, and a 95s = 5.1° (positive fold and reversal tests); and the coordinates of the corresponding paleomagnetic pole for ~103 ± 10 Ma are calculated: Plat = 26.3°, Plong = 70.5°, dp = 4.8°, and dm = 7.0°. As a result of this study, the geodynamical settings and paleolatitudes of the formation of three objects in the northern part of Sikhote Alin orogen are established: (a) the Kiselevskaya Formation of the Kiselevka–Manoma terrane was formed 133 Ma ago at 19° N under the seamount condition on the Izanagi Plate; (b) the Silasinskaya Formation of the Kiselevka–Manoma terrane was formed 103 Ma ago at 35° N under the oceanic island arc conditions; and (c) the Utitskaya Formation of the Zhuravlevsk–Amur terrane was formed 95 Ma ago at 54° N in the active continental margin conditions. It is found that the transform continental margin of Eurasia developed in the time interval from 105 to 65 Ma ago in the regime of a left-lateral submeridional shear from 30° to 60° N. The complete attachment of the studied rocks of the Kiselevka–Manoma terrane to the Eurasia’s margin (to the Zhuravlevsk–Amur terrane) occurred at the boundary of 60–70 Ma. Simultaneously, the sense of the displacement in the submeridional shears changed from left-lateral to right-lateral with the formation of pullapart type basins (Lake Udyl’).
