更新时间:2023-08-14

【摘要】The Longxinggou Nappe which is located in Guangshui county, north of Hubei province, has been first identified by our detail mapping. It is composed of lowgrade metamorphosed rocks of middle Proterozoic Shuixian group, late Proterozoic Yaolinghe group, Sinian Liantuo,Doushantuo and Dengying formations. It is quite different from the lower beds, middle.Proterozoic Hong’an epidote-amphibole facies metamorphose metapelite and metagranite. They are different not only in composition, metamorphic degree, but also in deformation forms. The Longxinggou nappe has characteristics both of ductile thrusting and ductile dextral strike-sliping, illustrating a transpressive deformation regime of middle crustal in the orogenic belt due to the oblique collision, between the Shuiying terrain and the Tongbai terrain during Caledonian period.
