Abstract:

Thermal history modeling of fission track can be used to reconstruct time-temperature histories of a sample and reflect subsidence-uplifting process resulted from tectnonic activity and sedimentation in a basin.On the basis of apatite fission track thermal history modeling results of intrusive rock samples from Yichang and Tongshan in the periphery of Jianghan Basin,we think that the samples have come through four stages of cooling with different cooling rates since Mesozoic,indicating the constant uplifting since the Indosinian period in the periphery of Jianghan Basin.Two rapid cooling stages respectively correspond to two quick uplifting in the Yanshan and Late-Himalayan Periods in the periphery of Jianghan Basin.This kind of process is coupled with the tectonic setting,tectonism-sedimentation and tectonic deformation since the Indosinian period in Jianghan Basin.

Key words: fission track, thermal history modeling, uplifting, Cenozoic and Mesozoic, periphery of the Jianghan Basin
