Geochronological and geochemical constraints on the non-ultrahigh-pressure metasedimentary blocks of North China affinity within the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure belt, eastern China, and tectonic implications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) belt has been proven to form by deep northward subduction of the Yangtze Block (YB) beneath the North China Block (NCB) in the Triassic. The basement rocks originated from the YB and experienced Triassic UHP metamorphism. In this contribution, we identify for the first time tens of non-UHP metasedimentary blocks enclosed in the regional UHP granitic gneiss in the Weihai terrane in the northeastern Sulu UHP belt. They are mainly composed of paragneiss, marble and calc-silicate rocks, in which UHP-related minerals have not been identified. Detrital zircons from the non-UHP metasedimentary rocks are mostly of magmatic origin and yield U-Pb ages mainly from 2842 to 1792 Ma with two clusters of 2580–2460 Ma and 1900–1800 Ma. This zircon U-Pb age spectrum is typical of the NCB but not the YB, and matches the tectonothermal/magmatic history of the southwestern end of the Jiao-Liao-Ji belt (JLJB), eastern NCB, which lies immediately adjacent to the Weihai terrane. Furthermore, their whole-rock geochemical compositions show great resemblance to those of the Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks within the JLJB. In particular, metamorphic zircons from the non-UHP metasedimentary rocks indicate widespread late Triassic-early Jurassic (213–194 Ma) metamorphic overprinting of the Paleoproterozoic (1850–1820 Ma) metamorphism that characterizes the JLJB. This means that the enclosed non-UHP metasedimentary rocks with NCB signatures in the Weihai terrane were involved in the collision-subduction process during the Triassic. They have not been carried to mantle depths during deep continental subduction. These lines of evidence prompt us to establish a Triassic tectonic erosion model to explain these new discoveries and pre-existing problems along the Sulu UHP orogenic belt.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
