Abstract

A temperature of deformation and the state and direction of paleostress at that time when twins in calcite grains had been produced were observed, using analysis of calcite twins as indicators of paleostress history. The study was performed with the target of carbonate rocks distributed randomly small size in the southern area of south Korea. Considering the appearance of twins (thin or thick straight twins with one or two twin sets), average twin strain (1.235-7.453%), thickness ($0.77-1.94{\mu}m$) and intensity (25.26-41.99 twins/mm) from the results of calculated calcite twins, it is estimated that calcite twins were produced under temperatures lower than approximately $150-200^{\circ}C$. In the magnitudes and directions of principal strains, the maximum shortening strain axis ($e_3\leftrightarrow{\sigma}_1$) is approximately N-S direction in the GS-1 area in the southern Gyeongsang Basin as well as in the BS-1 area in the southern Yongnam Massif, whereas E-W direction in the NR-1 area in the southwestern Ogcheon Fold Belt. In case of the maximum extension strain axis ($e_1\leftrightarrow{\sigma}_3$), it is oriented in NW-SE and NE-SW directions in the GS-1 and BS-1 area, respectively, and in N-S direction in the NR-1 area. That is, it is suggested that the paleostress which produced the calcite twins may be applied at least more than two times in the study area.

고응력사의 지시자로서 방해석 쌍정 분석법을 이용하여 방해석내 쌍정이 생성될 당시의 변형온도와 고응력장의 상태 및 방향 등을 살펴보았다. 연구는 한반도 남부지역에 소규모로 불규칙하게 분포하고 있는 석회질 암석을 대상으로 수행되었다. 분석 결과에서 쌍정의 형태(한 방향 또는 두 방향의 얇고 두꺼운 직선형 쌍정), 변형률(1.235-7.453%), 두께($0.77-1.94{\mu}m$), 치밀도(25.26-41.99 twins/mm) 등을 고려하여 추정한 연구지역에서의 방해석 쌍정에 의한 변형온도는 약 $150^{\circ}-200^{\circ}C$ 이하로 나타났다. 주변형률의 크기와 방향에서 최대수축변형률($e_3\leftrightarrow{\sigma}_1$)의 방향은 경상분지 남부에 해당하는 GS-1와 영남육괴 남부에 해당하는 BS-1 지역에서 N-S, 그리고 옥천습곡대 서남부에 해당하는 NR-1 지역에서는 E-W 방향을 보였다. 최대인장변형률($e_1\leftrightarrow{\sigma}_3$)의 경우 GS-1과 BS-1 지역은 $NWW-SEE{\sim}NNE-SSW$ 그리고 NR-1 지역은 N-S 방향으로 나타났다. 즉, 연구지역에는 방해석 쌍정의 생성과 관련된 서로 다른 고응력장이 최소한 두 번 이상 작용했을 가능성을 시사한다.
