Abstract

The U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from the Baengnyeong Group were determined by LA-MC-ICPMS, yielding condensed age population in the range from 1100 Ma to 1800 Ma corresponding to the Mesoproterozoic to late Paleoproterozoic. However, detrital zircons of ca.1800-2000 Ma or ca. 2500 Ma ages, which appear frequently in the lower Paleozoic Joseon Supergroup and the upper Paleozoic Pyeongan Supergroup are lacking in the Baengnyeong Group. Such characteristics are identical to those of the Neoproterozoic Sangwon System of North Korea, suggesting that the Baengnyeong Group might be the southwestern extension of the Sangwon System. The zircon age distribution patterns from the Impi Formation in the Gunsan area closely resemble those of the Baengnyeong Group, implying possible correlation of the Impi Formation to the Sangwon System. Therefore, the Mesoproterozoic detrital zircons reported from the Hwangangni Formation of the Okcheon Metamorphic Belt and the Myobong, Sambangsan and Sesong Formations of the Taebaeksan Basin might be derived from the provenances within the Korean peninsula.

백령층군의 사암에서 분리한 쇄설성 저어콘에 대해 LA-MC-ICPMS를 이용하여 U-Pb 연령을 측정하였다. 저어콘 연령은 주로 중원생대와 고원생대말의 기간인 약 1100-1800 Ma의 범위에 집중된다. 그러나 하부고생대 조선누층군이나 상부고생대 평안누층군의 쇄설성 저어콘들에서 흔히 나타나는 1800-2000 Ma 또는 약 2500 Ma의 고원생대 연령은 거의 나타나지 않는 특징을 보인다. 이러한 특징은 북한의 신원생대 상원계 퇴적암과 동일하며, 백령층군이 상원계의 남서쪽 연장부에 해당함을 시사한다. 군산 인근에 분포하는 임피층이 백령층군과 아주 비슷한 쇄설성 저어콘의 연령분포를 보이는 것은 임피층 역시 상원계에 대비될 가능성을 시사한다. 따라서 옥천변성대의 황강리층, 태백산 분지의 묘봉층, 삼방산층, 세송층 등 여러 퇴적층에서 보고된 중원생대 연령의 쇄설성 저어콘들은 중원생대의 저어콘을 갖는 한반도 내의 암석으로부터 유래하였을 가능성이 있다.
