초록

서해 대륙붕 군산분지 까치-1공의 퇴적층을 통합층서적 접근을 통하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 까치-1공 내에서 (1)트라이아스기 돌로마이트 기반암층, (2) 후기 쥬라기 말-전기 백악기 초 퇴적층, (3) 전기 백악기 퇴적층, (4) 후기 백악기 퇴적층 및 (5) 중기 마이오세 이후 퇴적층 등 5개의 단위층들이 인지되었다. 각 단위층은 부정합에 의해 경계되는 구조층서 단위층으로 군산분지의 형성, 퇴적 및 변형에 대한 정보를 제공해 준다. 후기 쥬라기 말에 들어와 탄루탄층대를 따라 이차 및 삼차 순위의 주향이동 단층들이 분지되면서 소규모 열개 분지들이 형성되기 시작하였다. 전기 백악기 이후 팔레오세 말까지 지속된 분지단층들의 좌수향 이동에 의해 군산분지는 대규모의 인장력을 받게 되어 소규모 열개 분지들은 대규모의 인리형 분지로 확장되었다. 그러나 팔레오세 말에 시작된 인도판과 유라시아판의 연성충돌에 의한 1차 히말라야 조산운동의 영향으로 탄루단층이 우수향으로 이동을 시작하면서 군산분지는 서서히 변형을 받기 시작하였다. 이후 에오세 중기에 일어났던 인도판과 유라시아판의 강성충돌에 의한 2차 히말라야 조산운동에 의해 탄루단층의 우수향 이동이 본격화되면서 군산분지는 극심한 구조역전의 현상이 일어났다. 따라서 에오세 말과 올리고세 동안 군산분지에서는 심한 구조역전에 의한 분지변형이 일어났다. 올리고세 이후 현재까지, 군산분지는 간헐적인 해침과 함께 광역적인 침강을 유지하면서 안정된 대륙 연변부 침강분지로 전이되었다.

Strata of the Kachi-1 well, Kunsan Basin, offshore western Korea, were analyzed by using integrated stratigraphy approach. As a result, five distinct unconformity-bounded units are recognized in the well: Triassic, Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous, Early Cretaceous, Late Cretaceous, and Middle Miocene units. Each unit represents a tectono-stratigraphic unit that provides time-sliced information on basin-forming tectonics, sedimentation, and basin-modifying tectonics of the Kunsan Basin. In the late Late Jurassic, development of second- or third-order wrench faults along the Tan-Lu fault system probably initiated a series of small-scale strike-slip extensional basins. Continued sinistral movement of these wrench faults until the Late Cretaceous caused a mega-shear in the basin, forming a large-scale pull-apart basin. However, in the Early Tertiary, the Indian Plate began to collide with the Eurasian Plate, forming a mega-suture zone. This orogenic event, namely the Himalayan Orogeny, continued by late Eocene and was probably responsible for initiation of right-lateral motion of the Tan-Lu fault system. The right-lateral strike-slip movement of the Tan-Lu fault caused the tectonic inversion of the Kunsan Basin. Thus, the late Eocene to Oligocene was the main period of severe tectonic modification of the basin. After the Oligocene, the Kunsan Basin has maintained thermal subsidence up to the present with short periods of marine transgressions extending into the land part of the present basin.
