封面介紹：Cenozoic sedimentary sequence of southwestern Qaidam Basin shows fluvial，delta and lacustrine facies depositional environments. The evolution of paleogeographic and provenance would be controlled by the tectonism of Altyn Tagh fault zone and Qimen Tagh-East Kunlun fault zone. It is a good way to rebuild the filling history and tectonic condition of the basin by heavy minerals. For more details see the research paper by LI Lin-lin et al. on pages 859-875.

Heavy mineral assemblage characteristics and the Cenozoic paleogeographic evolution in southwestern Qaidam Basin

LI Lin-lin，GUO Zhao-jie，GUAN Shu-wei，et al.

Based on the analysis of heavy mineral assemblages in Cenozoic southwestern Qaidam Basin，we found that different areas have variable heavy mineral assemblage characteristics，which suggested that there were two source areas—the Altyn Mountains and the Qimen Tagh-East Kunlun Mountains. In Ganchaigou-Shizigou-Huatugou（Area A），which was mainly source from the Altyn Mountains，its heavy minerals were mainly composed of zircon，Ti-oxides，and wollastonite in the Paleocene-early Eocene and mainly of unstable minerals，especially amphibole，in the middle Eocene-Oligene. Since the late Oligocene-Miocene，the heavy minerals were still mainly unstable minerals，but the content of epidote increased and the content of amphibole decreased. In Qigequan-Hongliuquan（Area B），which was the mixed source from the Altyn Mountains and the Qimen Tagh-East Kunlun Mountains，its heavy minerals were mainly garnet，epidote，and amphibole. The source of Lücaotan-Dongchaishan-Kunbei（Area C）was mainly from the Qimen Tagh-East Kunlun Mountains，heavy minerals in the sediments in Area C were mainly zircon and Ti-oxides in Paleogene and garnet，epidote，and amphibole in Neogene. In Yuejin-Youshashan（Area D），where the stable minerals and unstable minerals were present simultaneously，the heavy mineral assemblages was controlled by multi-direction source. The variation of heavy mineral assemblages in southwestern Qaidam Basin shows that Altyn Mountains was of low-lying topographic relief in Paleocene-early Eocene，and the rapid uplift of Altyn Mountains started from the middle Eocene. InPaleogene，the Altyn Tagh Fault had a slow strike-slip velocity，but the strike-slip velocity increased greatly since the late Oligocene，leading to a strike-slip displacement above 300 km since Neogene. Meanwhile，the Qimen Tagh-East Kunlun fault zone was under a stable tectonic stage in Paleogene with the Qimen Tagh Mountain being low-lying hills； since the late Oligocene，the fault zone started to activate and the Qimen Tagh Mountain began to uplift rapidly.
