Abstract

Recently developed illite-age-analysis (IAA) approach has been applied to determine the multiple events for the Singal and Wangsukcheon faults in the Chugaryeong fault belt, Korea. Fault reactivated events during Late Cretaceous to Paleogene events($69.2{\pm}0.3$ Ma and $27.2{\pm}0.5$ Ma) for the Singal fault and of $75.4{\pm}0.8$ Ma for the Wangsukcheon fault were determined by combined approach of the optimized illite-polytype quantification and the K-Ar age-dating of clay fractions separated from the fault clays. These absolute geochronological determinations of the multiple tectonic events recorded in the Chugaryeong fault belt are crucial to establish the tectonic evolution of the Korean Peninsula since Late Cretaceous.

본 연구에서는 한반도 중부지역 추가령단층대 내 신갈단층과 왕숙천단층 단층점토에 대한 입도별 일라이트 폴리타입 정량분석과 K-Ar 연대측정 결과의 IAA법 적용 및 해석을 통해 백악기 이 후 추가령단층대 단층활동 절대연대를 결정하고, 그 지구조적 의미를 논의하였다. 신갈단층에서는 2회($69.2{\pm}0.3$ Ma 및 $27.2{\pm}0.5$ Ma)의 단층 재활동연대가, 그리고 왕숙천단층에서는 $75.4{\pm}0.8$ Ma의 단층 재활동연대가 결정되었다. 한반도의 주요 지구조선인 추가령단층대에 대한 직접적인 단층 재활동연대를 상세히 결정함으로써, 후기 백악기부터 제3기에 걸쳐 일어난 한반도 지구조진화연구의 구체적인 연대정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
