Abstract:The Mengdong GroupComplex is a series of Precambrian metamorphic sedimentary and magmatic complex cropped out in the Laojunshan area,southeastern Yunnan Province. For its peculiar location, the Mengdong GroupComplex has the important scientific significance to understand the tectonics of SE Yunnan,and even of South China and Tethys. In order to probe the metamorphism and deformation characteristics,by means of microscale observation such as optical microscope, electron microscope and electron probe,etc.,the characteristics of metamorphicdeformation have been studied in details. The results show that the macro styles of the Mengdong GroupComplex contain fold bedding,syntectonic secrete crystal veins,asymmetric shear lens,decollement subductile structures,and the micro structures consist of mica fish,kink,quartz rectangular bank. Microscopic structure statistics data indicate that the Mengdong GroupComplex experienced the squeezing and stressing process in the directions of NESW,SENW,EW and SN,of which the result is similar to macro and micro structure.Meanwhile,the temperature of garnetbiotite mineral pairs in schist is 429℃ in average and the pressure of the schist is 0.5GPa. The temperature of tourmalinebiotite temperature in gneiss is 546℃ in average,corresponding to typical assemblages of the high green schistlow amphibolites facies. The UPb dating of titanite and rutile mineral suggests that the major metamorphism and deformation events occurred around ca. 236Ma and 170Ma.The above evidence shows that the Mengdong GroupComplex has experienced many metamorphicdeformation, and the principal stress of metamorphicdeformation (SENW) controls macrostructure framework of metamorphic GroupComplex(236Ca.), but SN and EW may be the directions of the substrain matched with the principal stress and NESW may be another direction after main metamorphicdeformation and age is confined to 170Ma. On behalf of the Laojunshan dome of early Yanshanian extensionalshear activity. Combined with other geochronological data,the Mengdong GroupComplex had undergone successively the largescale thrust events in early Indosinian,the extensionshearing events in later Indosinian and early Yanshannian,and the contact metamorphism in later Yanshannian. Based on the study above, it can be outlined that the dynamic background of these metamorphicdeformation events is the Indosinian event, which is controlled the main features of the Mengdong GroupComplex. Laojunshan uplift of the dome began to activate in 236Ma,in consistent with the time of Tethys closure and collision, and stretched to 170Ma,after collapse of dome. NE directions widely developed klippe and offsite rock in Indosinian WenshanMalipo imply that preIndosinian formation belongs to the Mengdong GroupComplex and should be a set of foreigner rocky Nappe from Northern Vietnam. Therefore, the above results provide evidence for the study of tectonic evolution in the west of South China.
