秦岭杂岩清油河斜长角闪岩多期变质的证据——来自锆石微量元素和包裹体的启示

北秦岭清油河地区广泛发育以透镜状、条带状或岩墙状赋存于秦岭杂岩石英二长片麻岩中的斜长角闪岩,矿物组合为角闪石、斜长石以及少量的石榴子石、单斜辉石等。锆石阴极发光图像、不同微区矿物包裹体和稀土元素分析,以及不同性质锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年和微量元素分析等综合研究结果表明,该斜长角闪岩锆石成因十分复杂,可进一步划分为三种类型。第一类锆石呈半自形-他形晶,阴极发光显示条带状分带,锆石稀土总量较高,球粒陨石标准化稀土配分模式中重稀土富集,Eu负异常明显,记录的206Pb/238U加权平均值为774±13Ma,代表了该岩石原岩形成时代;第二类锆石呈他形晶,为典型的变质锆石,阴极发光图像为扇状或面状分带,锆石稀土总量较低,球粒陨石标准化稀土配分模式中重稀土相对平坦,没有Eu的负异常,表明该类锆石结晶时岩石中含有石榴子石,而没有长石,该类锆石矿物包裹体主要为Grt+Cpx+Q,可能代表榴辉岩相(榴辉岩或者石榴子石辉石岩)变质矿物组合,记录的~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均值为493±5Ma;第三类锆石呈他形晶或构成第二类锆石的薄边,亦为典型变质锆石,阴极发光为面状分带,锆石稀土总量较低,球粒陨石标准化稀土配分模式中重稀土平坦,具有Eu的异常,锆石包裹体矿物组合为Grt+Cpx+Pl+Amp+Q,应代表退变质矿物组合,记录的206Pb/238U加权平均值为448±4Ma。该斜长角闪岩的原岩年龄(774±13Ma)、峰期变质年龄(493±5Ma)和后期退变质年龄(448±4Ma)与北秦岭已厘定的高压-超高压岩石的原岩年龄、峰期变质和退变质年龄非常吻合,说明该岩石可能是北秦岭高压-超高压变质岩带的一部分。据此,并结合清油河斜长角闪岩中发现残存金刚石的研究成果,可以推测现今秦岭杂岩中出露的一些低级变质相岩石峰期也可能经历了高压-超高压变质,只是由于后期强烈的退变质作用的改造而难于识别和辨认,北秦岭高压-超高压岩石的分布可能远比目前观察到的丰富。此外,本次研究还显示清油河斜长角闪岩原岩具有大陆拉斑玄武岩特征,是陆壳岩石的一部分。这些资料为进一步论证北秦岭早古生代高压-超高压岩石(包括榴辉岩、长英质片麻岩、石榴子石辉岩、榴闪岩和部分斜长角闪岩等)是陆壳俯冲-深俯冲作用的产物提供了新的证据。     

北苏鲁威海地区超基性岩的原岩形成时代和超高压变质时代

超基性岩是苏鲁超高压变质地体中一类特殊且十分重要的岩石类型,它们通常呈规模不一的块状、条带状或不规则透镜状 (体) 赋存于区域大面积出露的花岗质片麻岩中。锆石中矿物包体激光拉曼测试、阴极发光图像分析和不同性质锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年等综合研究结果表明,北苏鲁威海地区含橄榄石辉石岩 (样品W1和W2) 中锆石的成因十分复杂,可进一步划分3种不同类型锆石。其中第一类锆石呈自形-半自形晶,阴极发光图像显示清晰的岩浆结晶环带,矿物包体主要为Ol+Cpx+Ap, 记录的²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb年龄为1835~1845Ma,应代表含橄榄石辉石岩的原岩形成时代;第二类为变质重结晶锆石,呈半自形-他形晶,阴极发光图像显示模糊的岩浆结晶环带,矿物包体与第一类完全一致,记录的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄变化范围大,为250~784Ma之间,表明部分继承性岩浆结晶锆石明显受到后期岩浆-变质热事件的影响而发生不完全重结晶和Pb丢失,进而使其记录的年龄相对偏新;第三类锆石呈他形晶,为典型的变质锆石,阴极发光图像十分均匀,矿物包体相对少见,主要为Grt+Cpx,记录的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄为230~234Ma, 且与苏鲁地体榴辉岩及其围岩中含柯石英锆石微区记录的超高压变质年龄 (225~235Ma) 十分一致,应代表含橄榄石辉石岩的峰期超高压变质时代。超基性岩中超高压变质锆石的准确识别表明苏鲁地体在峰期超高压变质阶段的确存在流体,流体的存在对超高压变质锆石的形成起着至关重要的作用。该项研究不仅准确厘定北苏鲁威海地区超基性岩的原岩形成时代和超高压变质时代,而且对于深入探讨苏鲁-大别超高压地体流体行为、演化规律及其水-岩相互作用机理具有重要的科学意义。     

隐藏在苏鲁地体斜长角闪岩锆石中超高压变质作用的信息

运用激光拉曼和阴极发光技术，配备电子探针测试，发现苏鲁地体地表露头和中国大陆科学钻探工程预先导孔CCSD-PP1和CCSD-PP2斜长角闪岩锆石中均保存以柯石英为代表的典型超高压矿物组合：柯石英 石榴石 绿辉石 金红石；柯石英 石榴石 绿辉石；柯石英 石榴石 绿辉石 多硅白云母 金红石 磷灰石；柯石英 绿辉石 金红石；柯石英 菱镁矿。该类矿物包体组合与苏鲁地体超高压榴辉岩的峰期矿物组合十分相似，表明斜长角闪岩可能是由超高压变质的榴辉岩在构造抬升过程中退变质而成。     

青藏高原拉萨地块松多榴辉岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄及锆石中的包裹体

拉萨地块榴辉岩样品中的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄值为(242.4±15.2)～(291.9±12.8)Ma,平均261.7Ma±5.3Ma。所有锆石均含有大量的包裹体,主要分布在锆石核部。最常见的矿物包裹体是石榴子石,其次为石英、磷灰石、金红石和绿辉石,可见角闪石、榍石、多硅白云母和钠长石。包裹体具3种组合:榴辉岩相(Grt Omp Rt Phe)、角闪岩相(Amp Spn Ab)和不确定相(Qtz Ap)。锆石中的矿物包裹体与岩石中对应矿物的成分相同。包裹体集中在锆石核部和榴辉岩相矿物的大量出现表明锆石生长发生于变质峰期或峰期之后不久。锆石的Th/U比值均很低,具变质成因锆石的典型特征。区域地质资料对比表明,榴辉岩的原岩可能形成于石炭纪—二叠纪早期,是古特提斯洋盆裂解的产物。     

苏鲁地体超高压矿物的三维空间分布

采用激光拉曼技术,配备电子探针和阴极发光测试,确认苏鲁地体大多数花岗质片麻岩,所有类型片麻岩、斜长角闪岩、蓝晶石英岩和大理岩的锆石中均隐藏以柯石英为代表的超高压包体矿物组合。其中花岗质片麻岩典型超高压包体矿物为柯石英±多硅白云母;副片麻岩为柯石英+石榴子石+绿辉石、柯石英±石榴子石+硬玉+多硅白云母+磷灰石、柯石英+多硅白云母±磷灰石;斜长角闪岩为柯石英+石榴子石+绿辉石±金红石;蓝晶石英岩为柯石英+蓝晶石+金红石+磷灰石、柯石英+蓝晶石+多硅白云母+金红石;大理岩为柯石英+透辉石、柯石英+橄榄石。表明苏鲁地体由榴辉岩及其围岩所组成的巨量陆壳物质曾普遍发生深俯冲,并经历了超高压变质作用。锆石的矿物包体分布特征及相应的阴极发光图像研究表明,在同一样品中,锆石的成因特征存在明显差异。有的锆石显示继承性(碎屑)锆石的核(core)、超高压变质的幔(mantle)和退变质的边(rim);有的锆石则具有超高压的核、幔和退变质的边;而有的锆石却记录了深俯冲的核、超高压的幔和退变质的边。标志着苏鲁超高压变质带各类岩石副矿物锆石均具有十分复杂的结晶生长演化历史。因此,在充分研究锆石中矿物包体性质、分布特征以及相应阴极发光图像的基础上,采用SHRIMP离子探针技术,在锆石晶体的不同

北大别铙钹寨榴辉岩的多期变质与熔流体交代作用

铙钹寨镁铁-超镁铁质岩体被认为是北大别地体下方岩石圈地幔的碎块,并随着三叠纪的华北和华南的大陆碰撞而一同经历了深俯冲和折返过程,对其进行详细的研究可以为我们更好地理解陆-陆碰撞过程中的壳幔相互作用、物质迁移、多期变质和熔流体交代等地球动力学过程提供信息。本文应用电子探针和LA-ICP-MS对铙钹寨榴辉岩进行了系统的元素环带、出溶结构和熔体包裹体研究,揭示出该岩体至少经历了三期变质事件,两期矿物出溶和两期熔体交代过程。峰期变质矿物组合为含金红石出溶体的石榴石核部+其内包裹的绿辉石,石榴石中金红石±磷灰石矿物出溶体和绿辉石包裹体中的金红石±石英±磷灰石出溶片晶指示该岩体确定经历过超高压变质作用,流体活动以高盐度的卤水±氮气的流体为主,峰期变质作用过程中无熔体活动痕迹。高压麻粒岩相变质矿物组合为Ⅱ期石榴石+紫苏辉石+基质具有出溶石英片晶结构的富Na单斜辉石,流体活动以CO2流体为主,熔体包裹体记录了在折返初期,高压麻粒岩相变质之前存在一期小规模的硫化物熔体活动。晚期角闪岩相退变质矿物组合为透辉石+角闪石+长石,流体活动以低盐度水溶液为主,并伴随着一期壳源的硅酸盐熔体交代事件。根据矿物环带、出溶结构和熔体包裹体化学组合及分布特征,并结合前人的研究成果,我们得出了该岩体较为完整的变质演化和熔-流体交代的P-T-t-E/F/M轨迹。     

中国大陆科学钻探主孔0～4500米变质岩石锆石中保存的超高压矿物包体

中国大陆科学钻探主孔0-4500米的岩心主要由榴辉岩、斜长角闪岩、副片麻岩、正片麻岩以及少量的超基性岩所组成。岩相学研究结果表明,榴辉岩的围岩普遍经历了强烈角闪岩相退变质作用的改造,峰期超高压变质的矿物组合已完全被后期退变质过程中角闪岩相矿物组合所替代。采用激光拉曼技术,配备电子探针和阴极发光测试,发现主孔224件岩心中有121件(包括榴辉岩、斜长角闪岩、副片麻岩和正片麻岩)样品的锆石中普遍隐藏以柯石英为代表的超高压矿物包体,且不同岩石类型锆石中所保存的超高压矿物包体组合存在明显差异。(含多硅白云母)金红石石英榴辉岩锆石中保存的典型超高压包体矿物组合为柯石英 石榴石、柯石英 石榴石 绿辉石 金红石和柯石英 多硅白云母 磷灰石。黑云绿帘斜长角闪岩锆石中保存的超高压矿物组合为柯石英 石榴石 绿辉石、柯石英 石榴石 多硅白云母和柯石英 绿辉石 金红石,与榴辉岩所保存的超高压矿物组合十分相似,表明该类斜长角闪岩是由超高压榴辉岩在构造折返过程中退变质而成。在副片麻岩类岩石,如石榴绿帘黑云二长片麻岩锆石中,代表性的超高压包体矿物组合为柯石英 多硅白云母和柯石英 石榴石等;而在石榴黑云角闪钠长片麻岩锆石中,则保存柯石英 硬玉 石榴石 磷灰石、柯石英 硬玉 多硅白云母 磷灰石和柯石英 石榴石 磷灰石等超高压矿物包体。在正片麻岩锆石中,标志性的超高压矿物包体为柯石英、柯石英 多硅白云母、柯石英 蓝晶石 磷灰石和柯石英 蓝晶石 榍石等。此外,在南苏鲁东海至临沭一带的地表露头以及一系列卫星孔岩心的锆石中,也普遍发现以柯石英为代表的标志性超高压矿物包体,表明在南苏鲁地区由榴辉岩及其围岩的原岩所组成的巨量陆壳物质(方圆>5000km2,厚度超过4.5km)曾整体发生深俯冲,并经历了超高压变质作用。该项研究对于重塑苏鲁-大别超高压变质带俯冲-折返的动力学模式有着重要的科学意义。     

Zircon growth during subduction and exhumation metamorphism of mafic rocks,Aktyuz terrain,North Tiahshan,Kyrgyzstan

The interpretation of whether a dated metamorphic zircon generation grew during the prograde, peak or retrograde stage of a metamorphic cycle is critical to geological interpretation. This study documents a case at Aktyuz metamorphic terrain, in the southern of Kokchetav‐North Tianshan belt, involving progressive metamorphic recrystallization of mafic rock to eclogite and associated behavior of zircon. Zircons in eclogites are mainly fine grains (5 to 20 μm), and preferentially concentrated with rutile/ilmenite. They also occur as individual grains or clusters in amphibole coronas of garnet. A few larger grains commonly preserve inherited cores and evidence of dissolution and metamorphic outgrowths. Zircon grains separated from amphibolites show inherited zircons with typically magmatic feature, although this become progressively blurred in response to resorption and recrystallization. Mineral inclusions represent epidote‐amphibolite facies in the prograde metamorphism, and the embayed boundary between recrystallized domains and inherited zircons suggest fluid/melt participation. The metamorphic domains are mainly simple overgrowth around the inherited cores or recrystallization domains. The absence of peak metamorphic mineral inclusions and steep pattern of MREE‐HREE indicate no sufficient garnet formed before the metamorphic zircon overgrowth. A tiny rim with homogeneously bright CL image can be distinguished in most zircons. Amphibole inclusions have similar compositions to those in the coronas of garnets, suggesting a retrograde metamorphic origin. The inherited zircon crystallized at 880‐730 Ma, revealing similar age range to the gneiss in Aktyuz area, whereas metamorphic zircon dates prograde metamorphism at 497.9 ±1.4 Ma. In this case, the bulk Zr budget in rocks will become locked into Zr‐bearing minerals during the mafic magma intrusion, when the inherited zircon melting and resorption. The texture shows that metamorphic zircon grew both in the prograde and retrograde stage, and Zr‐bearing magmatic minerals and rutile/ilmenite are by far the main source of Zr for the two stages, respectively.     

Genetic Mechanism of Mineral Inclusions in Zircons from the Khondalite Series, Southeastern Inner Mongolia

The early Precambrian khondalite series is widely distributed in the Jining-Zhuozi-Fengzhen-Liangcheng area, southeastern Inner Mongolia. The khondalite series mainly consists of sillimanite garnet potash feldspar (or two-feldspar) gneiss and garnet biotite plagioclase gneiss. These gneissic rocks have commonly experienced granulite-facies metamorphism. In zircons separated from sillimanite garnet potash feldspar gneisses, many mineral inclusions, including Sil, Grt, Ky, Kfs, Qtz and Ap, have been identified by the Laser Raman spectroscopy. Generally, prograde metamorphic mineral inclusion assemblages such as Ky + Kfs + Qtz + Ap and Ky + Grt + Kfs + Qtz are preserved in the core of zircon, while peak granulite-facies metamorphic minerals including Sil + Grt + Kfs + Qtz and Sil + Grt + Kfs + Qtz + Ap are identified in the mantle and rim of the same zircon. However, in some zircons are only preserved the peak metamorphic minerals such as Sil + Grt + Kfs + Qtz and Sil + Grt + Kfs + Qtz + Ap from core to ri     

柴北缘鱼卡榴辉岩型金红石矿床成矿物理条件

鱼卡榴辉岩型金红石矿床位于柴北缘超高压变质带西侧,是青藏高原发现的第一个超大型金红石矿床。为研究该矿床的控矿因素和成矿机制,在详细的野外地质调查和岩相学研究的基础上,利用电子探针对该矿床榴辉岩中的各特征矿物进行分析。研究表明,粗粒块状高钛榴辉岩的石榴子石保存了较完整的成分环带,从核部到边部,石榴子石的化学成分、矿物包裹体的种类和粒度都具有明显的分带性;细粒片麻状低钛榴辉岩的矿物颗粒较小,石榴子石的成分环带较差。鱼卡榴辉岩的p-T演化特征反映,它们经历了深俯冲阶段的升温升压到早期折返阶段的升温降压,再到之后的降温降压的顺时针演化轨迹。榴辉岩中进变质矿物组合和生长环带的保存说明,榴辉岩的形成经历了相对快速俯冲和折返的动力学过程,钛成矿作用时金红石很少发生转变。超高压变质前后为金红石最主要的成矿期。     

中祁连地块北缘退变榴辉岩的发现及其地质意义

1∶5万区域地质调查首次在中祁连地块北缘发现的退变榴辉岩,呈构造岩块分布于大羊陇一带的变质基底中。岩相学和矿物学研究显示,石榴石的矿物包体和化学成分具有进变质环带的特征,属于C类榴辉岩。石榴石核部成分以及残留于核部的黑云母、斜长石等矿物包体代表了进变质阶段(M1)矿物组合,计算得到其温压条件为568～580 ℃和0.80～0.82 GPa。大致估算得峰期榴辉岩相阶段(M2)温压条件为(669±5) ℃和(2.1±0.2) GPa。石榴石“白眼圈”结构指示了等温减压退变质作用,利用局部的平衡矿物获得高角闪岩相退变质阶段(M3)的温压条件为681～705 ℃和0.68～0.71 GPa。进一步的退变质作用发生在低角闪岩相条件下,以基质中出现粗粒的角闪石和斜长石为特征,估算得到这一阶段(M4)温压分别为500～545 ℃和0.38～0.43 GPa。上述变质过程形成一个顺时针的p-T演化轨迹,暗示板片经历过快速俯冲和折返。榴辉岩的锆石CL图像显示锆石大部分发光度低,为无分带、弱分带或海绵状分带,边部发育宽约5 μm的强阴极发光带,主体表现为变质增生锆石的特征。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年获得峰期榴辉岩相变质的上限年龄为(485±22) Ma。根据岩石地球化学特征和构造环境判别,大羊陇榴辉岩的原岩为MORB,推测属于北祁连洋壳的组成部分。结合中祁连地块北缘广泛发育弧岩浆岩,确定了晚寒武世-中奥陶世北祁连洋壳存在向南的俯冲作用,其俯冲极性为南北双向俯冲。     

Correlated microanalysis of zircon: Trace element, δO, and U-Th-Pb isotopic constraints on the igneous origin of complex >3900 Ma detrital grains

The origins of >3900 Ma detrital zircons from Western Australia are controversial, in part due to their complexity and long geologic histories. Conflicting interpretations for the genesis of these zircons propose magmatic, hydrothermal, or metamorphic origins. To test the hypothesis that these zircons preserve magmatic compositions, trace elements [rare earth elements (REE), Y, P, Th, U] were analyzed by ion microprobe from a suite of >3900 Ma zircons from Jack Hills, Western Australia, and include some of the oldest detrital zircons known (4400-4300 Ma). The same ∼20 μm domains previously characterized for U/Pb age, oxygen isotope composition (δ¹⁸O), and cathodoluminescence (CL) zoning were specifically targeted for analysis. The zircons are classified into two types based on the light-REE (LREE) composition of the domain analyzed. Zircons with Type 1 domains form the largest group (37 of 42), consisting of grains that preserve evolved REE compositions typical of igneous zircon from crustal rocks. Grains with Type 1 domains display a wide range of CL zoning patterns, yield nearly concordant U/Pb ages from 4400 to 3900 Ma, and preserve a narrow range of δ¹⁸O values from 4.7‰ to 7.3‰ that overlap or are slightly elevated relative to mantle oxygen isotope composition. Type 1 domains are interpreted to preserve magmatic compositions. Type 2 domains occur in six zircons that contain spots with enriched light-REE (LREE) compositions, here defined as having chondrite normalized values of La_N > 1 and Pr_N > 10. A subset of analyses in Type 2 domains appear to result from incorporation of sub-surface mineral inclusions in the analysis volume, as evidenced by positively correlated secondary ion beam intensities for LREE, P, and Y, which are anti-correlated to Si, although not all Type 2 analyses show these features. The LREE enrichment also occurs in areas with discordant U/Pb ages and/or high Th/U ratios, and is apparently associated with past or present radiation damage. The enrichment is not attributed to hydrothermal alteration, however, as oxygen isotope ratios in Type 2 domains overlap with magmatic values of Type 1 domains, and do not appear re-set as might be expected from dissolution or ion-exchange processes operating at variable temperatures. Thus, REE compositions in Type 2 domains where mineral inclusions are not suspected are best interpreted to result from localized enrichment of LREE in areas with past or present radiation damage, and with a very low fluid/rock ratio. Correlated in situ analyses allow magmatic compositions in these complex zircons to be distinguished from the effects of secondary processes. These results are additional evidence for preservation of magmatic compositions in Jack Hills zircons, and demonstrate the benefits of detailed imaging in studies of complicated detrital zircons of unknown origin. The data reported here support previous interpretations that the majority of >3900 Ma zircons from the Jack Hills have an origin in evolved granitic melts, and are evidence for the existence of continental crust very early in Earth’s history.     

U–Pb Dating of Hydrothermal Zircons from the Neoproterozoic Liushanyan VMS Cu–Zn Deposit,Central China: Evidence for a Triassic Deformation Event

The Liushanyan deposit is an important volcanic‐host massive sulfide (VMS) Cu–Zn deposit in the Qinling‐Tongbai‐Dabie orogenic belt, central China, with reserve of 2.38 Mt Cu and 16.11 Mt Zn. Orebodies occur in the meta‐quartz keratophyre of the Liushanyan formation. In this paper, we present textural features and laser ablation ICP‐MS U–Pb dating results of zircons from the ore‐bearing mylonitized meta‐quartz keratophyre. The hydrothermal zircons are distinct from metamorphic zircons in this rock, showing low cathodoluminescence (CL) response and hydrothermal rims (black in CL images). They have relatively flat light rare earth element patterns and high La content and low (Sm/La)_N and Ce/Ce* values. These features are typical of hydrothermal zircons. The cores of metamorphic zircons yield a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 900 ± 26 Ma, interpreted as the volcanic and related VMS mineralizing age. Two much younger events are also recorded by zircons in this rock: (i) the Early Silurian amphibolites–greenschist facies metamorphism at 435 ± 26 Ma; and (ii) the growth of hydrothermal zircons at ca. 241 ± 1 Ma, associated with the ductile shear deformation. The Silurian metamorphic event is probably associated with the arc–continent collision, while the Triassic ductile deformation event formed in the final continent–continent collision setting.     

辽宁后仙峪硼矿区古元古代电气石岩: 锆石特征及SHRIMP定年

为了确定辽东硼矿含硼岩系中电气石岩的形成时代, 对后仙峪硼矿区电气石岩首次进行了锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄测定.阴极发光图像显示, 锆石具核-边结构, 锆石核部多具振荡环带, 为高Th/U值的岩浆碎屑锆石; 锆石边部无明显结构变化, 为变质成因.岩浆碎屑锆石和变质锆石的年龄分别为2 171~2 175 Ma和1 894~1 906 Ma.结合野外地质和岩相学研究, 认为后仙峪硼矿区电气石岩原岩为古元古代克拉通裂谷环境中源于地壳再循环组分混染的亏损地幔的中酸性岩浆活动引发海底喷流作用的产物, 其原岩形成时代为古元古代中期(2 171~2 175 Ma), 并在稍后(1 894~1 906 Ma)遭受变质作用叠加改造.
