摘要(Abstract)：

近20年来,随着测年技术和数据处理方法的不断创新,碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学在限定地层最大沉积年龄方面取得了显著进展,为解决板块构造、古地理演变及古气候变化等地质问题提供了重要的时间约束。然而,基于碎屑锆石获得的最大沉积年龄的可靠性,即与真实沉积年龄的接近程度,受控于多种因素。正确理解该方法的原理和影响因素,对于准确约束沉积物最大沉积年龄具有重要意义。鉴于此,本文系统总结了碎屑锆石最大沉积年龄限定地层年代的基本原理,以及表征真实沉积年龄的3个前提条件:岩石学、矿物学和沉积盆地大地构造条件。在此基础上,将“连续样品法则”作为评估最大沉积年龄可靠性的主要依据,即剖面上连续样品的最大沉积年龄与地层序列呈正相关则更接近真实沉积年龄。同时,分析了影响最大沉积年龄可靠性的因素,如锆石产率、单颗粒年龄准确性、抽样误差及定年不确定度等。针对14种常见最大沉积年龄计算方法,详细总结了其统计原理,并比较了它们各自的优缺点及适用性。基于典型案例,讨论了最大沉积年龄在实际应用中可能存在的问题。最后,为了获取可靠的最大沉积年龄,在实验和计算方法方面提出了建议和展望。
