Abstract

Volcanic rocks related to the Guamsan cadera, which find in the southeastern Cheongsong, are divided into Volcanic breccia, Guamsan Tuff and Post-collapse intrusions. We determined their eruption, intrusion and caldera-forming timings based on SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating. The dating results yield earlier eruption age of $63.77{\pm}0.94Ma$ from the lower ash-flow tuff and an later eruption age of $60.1{\pm}1.8Ma$ from the upper ash-flow tuff of the Guamsam Tuff, and intrusion age of $60.65{\pm}0.95Ma$ from the rhyolite ring dyke of the Post-collapse intrusions. The age data suggest that the Guamsan caldera is formed in 60.65~60.1 Ma between eruption of the upper ash-flow tuff and intrusion of the rhyolite ring dyke. The Guamsan cadera exhibits the volcanic processes of a perfect igneous cycle passing from ash-flow eruptions through caldera collapse to ring intrusions during 63.77~60.1 Ma.

구암산 칼데라는 청송 남동부에 나타나며, 이 칼데라에 직접적으로 관련되는 지질은 규질 화산암류이고 화산각력암, 구암산응회암과 함몰후 관입암으로 구분할 수 있다. SHRIMP를 이용하여 저어콘 U-Pb 연령측정을 실시함으로서 화산암류의 분출시기, 관입시기와 칼데라 형성시기를 확실하게 하였다. 측정결과에 의하면 구암산응회암은 하부 회류응회암이 $63.77{\pm}0.94Ma$, 상부 회류응회암이 $60.1{\pm}1.8Ma$의 분출시기, 함몰후 관입체의 환상 유문암맥은 $60.65{\pm}0.95Ma$의 관입시기를 나타낸다. 이 자료에 의하면 구암산 칼데라는 구암산응회암의 상부 회류응회암 분출 직후, 환상암맥 관입 직전의 60.65~60.1 Ma 무렵에 형성되었음을 암시해준다. 구암산 칼데라 지역에서는 63.77~60.1 Ma 기간에 회류분출-칼데라함몰-환상관입으로 연결되는 하나의 완벽한 칼데라윤회를 거치는 화산과정을 나타낸다.
