韦格纳断裂是位于格陵兰岛和埃尔斯米尔岛之间的纳雷斯海峡的一个左旋转换,它连接了欧亚海盆的开口和巴芬湾的扩张,大约在1.56 Ma(磁异常24)和36 Ma(磁异常13)之前。Wegener断层系统的水平滑动量可以根据南部太古代Rae克拉通和北部Thelon构造带古元古代片麻岩之间边界的偏移量来估计。这一界线在格陵兰岛的最佳定义是由于最近的U-Pb锆石地质年代学,但在埃尔斯米尔岛鲜为人知。本文采用二次离子质谱法对埃尔斯米尔岛东南部五个前寒武纪花岗质-英云闪长质片麻岩样品进行了锆石定年。阴极发光图像显示复杂的锆石与振荡环带,缺乏证据的捕虏晶核心,通常叠印重结晶和均匀的轮辋包围。微量元素模式显示了锆石中的扰动范围。侵入时代为古元古代,范围为2007 ± 14 ~ 1958 ± 14 Ma。在一个样品中,晚期增生体上的一个定义明确的下截距年龄为357 ± 16 Ma,对应于埃尔斯梅尔造山运动期间的一次扰动。研究结果增强了埃尔斯米尔岛东南部稀疏的U-Pb年龄数据集,并证实了以前的位置与太古宙片麻岩南部附近的德文郡岛。边界在纳雷斯海峡上的偏移量最小为215公里,相当于韦格纳断层的最小偏移量。
The Wegener fault is a sinistral transform in Nares Strait, which lies between Greenland and Ellesmere Island; it connects the opening of the Eurasian Basin with spreading in Baffin Bay after ≈ 56 Ma (magnetic anomaly 24) and before 36 Ma (magnetic anomaly 13). The amount of horizontal slip on the Wegener fault system can be estimated from the offset of the boundary between the Archean Rae craton to the south and Paleoproterozoic gneisses of the Thelon Tectonic Zone to the north. This boundary is best defined in Greenland due to recent U–Pb zircon geochronology, but is less well known on Ellesmere Island. We have dated zircon in five samples of Precambrian granitic to tonalitic gneiss from southeastern Ellesmere Island using secondary ion mass spectrometry. Cathodoluminescence images reveal complex zircons with oscillatory zoning that lack evidence of xenocrystic cores and are commonly overprinted by recrystallization and surrounded by homogeneous rims. Trace-element patterns show the range of disturbance in zircon. The intrusive age is Paleoproterozoic and ranges from 2007 ± 14 to 1958 ± 14 Ma. In one sample, a well-defined lower intercept age of 357 ± 16 Ma on late overgrowths corresponds to a disturbance during the Ellesmerian orogeny. The results enhance the sparse data set of U–Pb ages in southeast Ellesmere Island and corroborate the previous placement of the boundary with Archean gneiss to the south near Devon Island. The boundary is offset by a minimum of 215 km across Nares Strait, corresponding to the minimum offset on the Wegener fault.
