Abstract

Quartz schist - quartzite is often intercalated in metasedimentary rocks of Ogcheon belt or aligned parallel to the boundary between Yeongnam massif and Ogcheon belt. However, stratigraphic sequence and or geologic age of the rocks has been still variable among authors as Precambrian or Paleozoic. In this study, we carried out SHRIMP U-Pb age data of detrital zircons from Yeongam and Yeongsanpo areas and compared ours with other zircon ages from other areas. The detrital zircons from the studied area show no age younger than 1.8 Ga but yielded clusters at Neoarchean (2.5 Ga) and Paleoproterozoic (1.8 Ga). On the other hand, the age range of zircon U-Pb dating of Paleozoic quartzites yielded from Archean to middle Paleozoic and clusters at Paleoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic. The characteristics of the zircon age range and the dominant age peak might become a key to classify the Proterozoic to Paleozoic quartz schists-quartzites, which ages are still remained under controversy. Based on the statistical results of the zircon ages in this study, quartz schist - quartzite from Yeongam and Yeongsanpo is considered to be deposited during Proterozoic.

옥천대 변성퇴적암 분포지역과 영남육괴와 옥천대 경계부에는 석영편암-규암층준이 협재되어 있다. 이들 석영편암-규암의 층서는 조사자에 따라 다르게 분대되어 왔으며, 지질시대 또한 시대 미상, 선캠브리아 혹은 고생대로 보아왔다. 옥천대 서남부의 영암과 영산포 도폭 역의 석영편암-규암 저어콘 연령결과를 고생대 것과 비교 분석하여 영암과 영산포 지역에 분포하는 석영편암-규암의 지질시대를 규명하였다. 연구지역의 석영편암-규암에서 저어콘 연대 분포범위는 $${\geq_-}1.8Ga$$ 이고, 집중연령대는 신시생대의 2.5 Ga 와 고원생대의 1.8 Ga로 중원생대 이후의 저어콘 연대가 결여되어 있으나, 고생대 규암은 원생대에서 고생대까지 광범위한 연령분포를 보이고 집중연령대도 고원생대, 신원생대, 고생대등 여러 곳에서 보인다. 이와 같은 통계적 분석 결과에 의하여 영암과 영산포의 석영편암 내지 규암은 고원생대 이후의 원생대지층으로 해석된다.
