Late Mesozoic to Cenozoic Tectonic Events in Volcanic Arc, West Burma Block: Evidences from U-Pb Zircon Dating and Apatite Fission Track Data of Granitoids

Genetic type of basement granite from volcanic arc in the north of West Burma Block is S-type granites, which developed in volcanic arc of convergent plate margins. The results yield a group of weighted mean Pb-206/U-238 ages at 102 +/- 0.81 Ma (MSWD=0.23), which show similarity to 93.7 +/- 3.4 Ma in the northern part of sampling points and 105 +/- 2 Ma in the southern part of sampling points, indicating continuous development of volcanic arc in the north of West Burma Block and subsequent granitic intrusion of late Early Cretaceous. The apatite fission track age of the samples is 22.72 +/- 3 Ma, thermal history modeling reveals that the volcanic arc in the north of West Burma Block went through two main stages in the process of uplift-cooling since Cenozoic: rapid uplifting and cooling from Late Oligocene to Early Miocene (29 +/- 1 to 20 +/- 1 Ma) and slow uplifting and cooling since Early Pliocene (4.2 +/- 1 Ma).
