摘要

Abstract

The Zengmu and Beikang basins

separated b

y the West Baram Line (WBL) in the southwestern South China Sea margin

display distinct geological and geophysical features. However

the nature of the basins and the WBL are debated. Here we explore this issue by conducting the stratigraphic and structural interpretation

faults and subsidence analysis

and lithospheric finite extension modelling using seismic data. Results show that the WBL is a trans-extensional fault zone comprising normal faults and flower structures mainly active in the Late Eocene to Early Miocene. The Zengmu Basin

to the southwest of the WBL

shows an overall synformal geometry

thick folded strata in the Late Eocene to Late Miocene (40.4‍‍‍‍‍‍–‍‍5.2 Ma)

and pretty small normal faults at the basin edge

which imply that the Zengmu Basin is a foreland basin under the Luconia and Borneo collision in the Sarawak since the Eocene. Furthermore

the basin exhibits two stages of subsidence (fast in 40.4‍‍‍‍‍‍–‍‍30 Ma and slow in 30‍‍‍‍‍‍–‍‍0 Ma); but the amount of observed subsidence and heat flow are both greater than that predicted by crustal thinning. The Beikang Basin

to the NE of the WBL

consists of the syn-rift faulted sub-basins (45‍‍‍‍‍‍–‍‍16.4 Ma) and the post-rift less deformed sequences (16.4‍‍‍‍‍‍–‍‍0 Ma). The heat flow (~60 mW/m

) is also consistent with that predicted based on crustal thinning

inferring that it is a rifted basin. However

the basin shows three stages of subsidence (fast in 45‍‍‍‍‍‍–‍‍30 Ma

uplift in 30‍‍‍‍‍‍–‍‍16.4 Ma

and fast in 16.4‍‍‍‍‍‍–‍‍0 Ma). In the uplift stage

the strata were partly folded in the Late Oligocene and partly eroded in the Early Miocene

which is probably caused by the flexural bulging in response to the paleo-South China Sea subduction and the subsequent Dangerous Grounds and Borneo collision in the Sabah to the east of the WBL.
