    Abstract:

    Faku ductile sheer zone located in north Liaoning is genetically related to the subduction of Paleo- Asian Ocean plate during Late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic. The study of Faku ductile sheer zone deformation will help to understand the evolution of Paleo- Asian Ocean plate.Methods: Detailed field surveys, macro and micro structure analysis on intrusive rocks, quartz c- axis fabric study and LA- ICP- MS zircon U- Pb dating.Results: The deformation of Wulongshan intrusions, Gaoligou intrusions and early Shijianfang intrusions were controlled by Faku ductile shearing, whose upper plate moved northward. When it turn to later Shijianfang intrusions and Xiaofangshen intrusions, the deformation were controled by the ductile shearing, whose upper plate moved southward. The age of Gaoligou intrusions is 264.7±3.6 Ma(MSWD = 1.3), the age of early Shijianfang intrusions is 253.9±4.3 Ma(MSWD = 3.3)and the age of later Shijianfang intrusions is 244.0±3.0 Ma(MSWD = 1.9).Conclusions:The subduction of the Paleo- Asian ocean plate happened in the east section of the northern margin of the North China Plate( northern Liaoning Province) during Late Permian(264.7~253.9 Ma), while it has translated into postcollision extension form Late Permian to Early Triassic(253.9~244.0 Ma). It is a response of subduction slab felled off from the Paleo- Asian ocean plate, and it also marks the end of the evolution of the Paleo- Asian oceanic tectonic domain. When it comes to Late Triassic Epoch the northern margin of the North China Plate(northern Liaoning Province) was under another tectonic system, and ductile shearing has nothing to do with the evolution of the Paleo- Asian Ocean Plate.
