华北克拉通阜平杂岩新太古代-古元古代多期地质事件及其构造性质

本文收集了阜平杂岩新太古代早期-古元古代晚期基底岩石的岩石地球化学、锆石U-Pb年代学、同位素地球化学和变质作用资料,以期对阜平杂岩早寒武纪演化历史进行初步总结.阜平新太古代早期~2.7 Ga片麻岩原岩为英云闪长岩,具有TTG质片麻岩的地球化学特征;其锆石ε_Hf（t）具有较高的正值（+5.44~+7.50）,单阶段模式年龄为2 745~2 824 Ma,表明新太古代早期为阜平杂岩强烈的地壳生长时期.新太古代晚期片麻岩的时代集中于2 543~2 484 Ma,主要岩石类型为英云闪长岩-奥长花岗岩-花岗闪长岩（TTG）,同时区域内还存在二长花岗岩.TTG质片麻岩的ε_Nd（t）值为-1.64~+0.96,单阶段模式年龄为2.76~3.04 Ga;锆石ε_Hf（t）值为-1.9~+7.91,单阶段和两阶段模式年龄分别为2 546~2 888 Ma和2 548~3 119 Ma.这些TTG岩石主要为新太古代早期岩石的部分熔融,并有少量中太古代地壳物质参与.近于同期具有岛弧性质的辉长岩和变质作用暗示阜平杂岩新太古代晚期可能经历了俯冲和弧-陆或陆-陆碰撞.古元古代中期（2.1~2.0 Ga）阜平地区花岗质岩浆活动强烈.该阶段花岗岩具有A型花岗岩特征,与同期的火山-沉积岩系形成于华北克拉通古元古代中期伸展的陆内裂谷环境中.阜平杂岩中基性麻粒岩包体记录的变质作用时代为1.89~1.85 Ga,并具有顺时针演化的P-T轨迹,其代表了古元古代晚期裂谷闭合的陆内造山过程,表明华北最终克拉通化.      

冀西北怀安杂岩的年代学、地球化学、Nd-Hf-O同位素组成及其地质意义

冀西北地区怀安杂岩由变质表壳岩和变质深成岩组成,其中变质表壳岩的形成时代、怀安杂岩的构造背景以及其与孔兹岩带间的关系一直存在较大争议.本文对怀安杂岩的几处代表性露头进行了详细野外考察,对4件样品进行了岩石学、锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年、同位素和元素地球化学分析.所有样品都给出了1.86~1.81 Ga的变质锆石年龄,进一步支持怀安杂岩广泛遭受到古元古代晚期变质作用改造的认识.侵入/包裹含BIF表壳岩组合的变质辉长岩（HB1425）和片麻状英云闪长岩（HB1426）分别给出了~2.5 Ga和2.55 Ga的形成年龄,限制表壳岩形成时代老于2.55 Ga,推测为新太古代表壳岩.浅粒岩（HB1431）和紫苏石榴黑云斜长片麻岩（HB1435）中最老的碎屑锆石分别为2.46 Ga和2.51 Ga,可能还存在古元古代的碎屑锆石,表明它们都为古元古代表壳岩.上述结果进一步确定了怀安杂岩中发育两期表壳岩组合.变质辉长岩和片麻状英云闪长岩的全岩ε_Nd（t）、T_DM1和T_DM2分别为+2.19~+3.06、2.67~2.75 Ga和2.67~2.69 Ga,表明其物源区不存在较大规模的古老陆壳物质,新太古代是怀安地区主要陆壳生长期.变质辉长岩中~1.82 Ga变质锆石中较多具有正的ε_Hf（t）值,最高可达11.1,最可能的解释是古元古代变质过程存在地幔添加作用.锆石的O同位素分析显示区域上可能存在低δ18O的岩石,在古元古代变质过程中,可能存在低δ18O流体对锆石的改造.怀安杂岩和西部孔兹岩带中不同类型岩石的比例明显不同,但两者都同样发育新太古代和古元古代的双层地壳结构,怀安杂岩或许代表孔兹岩带剥蚀更深而出露的深部地壳部分.      

华北新太古代至古元古代恒山地体下地壳剖面的野外关系、地球化学、锆石年龄及演化

恒山杂岩构成华北克拉通中心地带，该杂岩主要由韧性变形的新太古代至古元古代高级变质、部分混合岩化的花岗质正片麻岩组成，并被辉长岩组分的铁镁质岩脉侵入。此前，许多强烈应变岩石被误解为上地壳岩序列，代表糜棱岩化花岗岩和剪切岩脉。笔者的单颗粒锆石定年表明岩浆花岗质岩侵位于2．52～2．48Ga，同时有少量的2．7Ga的片麻岩出现，可能代表更老的基底。少量的花岗质片麻岩的侵位年龄为2．35～2．10Ga之间，并具有与更老岩石相同的构造特征，这标志着主要的变形发生于2．1Ga之后。辉长岩岩脉侵入发生在约1920Ma，并且在1．88～1．85Ga所有的恒山岩体都经历了麻粒岩相变质作用，随后出现了退化变质、剪切和隆起作用。     

湾子表壳岩中碎屑锆石的U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素研究:对华北克拉通中部造山带阜平杂岩的构造与演化的制约

位于华北克拉通中部造山带的阜平杂岩是研究华北克拉通演化历史的理想对象之一。阜平杂岩由一系列高角闪岩相至麻粒岩相变质和多期强烈变形的岩石组成,包括灰色片麻岩、麻粒岩、角闪岩、细粒片麻岩和大理岩,可以分为四个岩性单元:阜平灰色片麻岩、龙泉关眼球状片麻岩、湾子表壳岩和南营花岗片麻。本研究分析了大约200颗来自湾子表壳岩中碎屑锆石的U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成。其中锆石变质增生边给出1.82~1.84Ga,对应华北克拉通的最终拼合事件。除了小部分继承锆石具有2.5Ga到2.9Ga的继承年龄外,大部分岩浆锆石给出2.10Ga和2.51Ga两组年龄。这些结果表明湾子表壳岩来源于2.5Ga的阜平TTG片麻岩和2.0~2.1Ga的南营花岗片麻岩,沉积年龄在1.84~2.10Ga之间。所有年龄在2.51Ga的锆石都具有正的εHf初始值( 1.4~ 10.9),指示了一个重要的地壳增生事件发生在2.5Ga,大量的新生岩浆从亏损地幔涌入地壳中。Hf同位素数据还表明年龄在2.8Ga岩石是源区下地壳的重要组成部分,这跟东部陆块的Nd同位素组成相一致。年龄在2.1Ga的岩石εHf初始值为-4.9到 6.1,本文解释为其形成于先成地壳的再...     

华北中部造山带左权变质杂岩ca. 2.5Ga和ca. 1.9Ga变质年龄记录及其地质意义

华北克拉通早前寒武纪基底由多个微陆块组成,其主期拼合时代是困扰地质学家的一个重大课题。华北中部造山带作为新太古代-古元古代一条重要的碰撞型造山带已得到广泛共识。大量高精度年代学资料显示,华北中部造山带至少记录了大约1. 85Ga、1. 95Ga和2. 5Ga的三组变质年龄信息。但目前,2. 5Ga左右的变质年龄仅在华北中部造山带中部的阜平和赞皇等少数杂岩区有零星报道。左权变质杂岩位于华北中部造山带中南段东侧、阜平杂岩以南,向东紧邻赞皇杂岩,是洞悉早前寒武纪时期华北克拉通基底形成及演化过程的一个重要窗口。杂岩区出露多种早寒武纪变质岩石,其中长英质黑云斜长片麻岩分布范围最广,局部暗色矿物富集;斜长角闪岩或角闪片麻岩多以透镜状或似层状方式产出于长英质片麻岩中;杂岩区南部发育多个小型磁铁矿矿床。本文对研究区多种类型岩石样品进行了细致的岩相学、锆石U-Pb年代学和锆石稀土元素研究,发现多数样品中发育变质成因锆石,记录至少两组变质年龄信息。第一组年龄(1903Ma)仅被个别角闪片麻岩样品保存,反映了杂岩区所经历的变质峰期或近峰期阶段的时代;第二组年龄(2483～2507Ma)分布广泛,所代表的变质事件发生在区域片麻理之前,与华北克拉通约25亿年时发生的大规模构造热事件有关。     

湖北省罗田凤凰关混合岩浅色体的类型及其锆石U-Pb年龄

根据混合岩浅色体的重褶、横切和叠加关系并剔除因粘性褶皱效应引起的重褶皱假象，在湖北罗田凤凰关识别出８个世代的浅色体。它们的主量、微量和稀土元素地球化学研究表明，用于锆石Ｕ－Ｐｂ定年的浅色体是深熔成因的。锆石Ｕ－Ｐｂ定年结果表明，在大别杂岩内存在燕山期的混合岩化作用，其时代为（１２９．３．８）Ｍａ。     

相山火山—侵入杂岩Nd—Sr—Pb同位素地球化学特征

对相山火山－侵入杂岩Nd,Sr,Pb同位素组成及其底变质岩Pb同位素组成的研究表明，相山两旋回火山岩及火山期后的次火山岩具有较低的εNd(t)值（－7．46－9．40），较高的Isr值（0．70801－0．71201）和较古老的Nd模式年龄（1．54－1．70Ga)，且相对富集放射成因铅（^206Pb/^204Pb,^207Pb/^204Pb,^208Pb/^204Pb分别为17．686-18.323,15.523-15.730,38.143-38.936)。相山火山－侵入杂岩与该区出露的基底变质沉积岩在Nd,Pb同位素组成上既有明显的相似性，又有一定差别，因此，相山火山－侵入杂岩的源区主要为地壳岩石，但并不排除有部分幔源组分介入。ε     

大别山北缘中生代火山—侵入岩锶—钕同位素组成特征及其物质来源

报道了大别山北缘中生代（早白垩世）不同成因系列火山－侵入岩的14个Rb-Sr,Sm-Nd同位素分析数据，其中正长岩类ISr值为0．70943－0．71014，εNd值为－14．7－15．8，亏损地幔两阶段模式年龄TDM为2．12－2．20Ga；高钾钙碱性系列岩石ISr值为0．70750－0．71054，εNd值为－17．2－－19．1，TDM为2．32－2．48Ga，橄榄安粗岩系列岩石ISr值为0．70873－0．70912，εNd值为－20．7－21．7，TDM为2．60－2．68Ga。通过与基底变质岩Sm-Nd同位素组成对比，认为高钾钙碱性系列主要由类似于大别群的地壳岩石衍生而成，正长岩类是由大别群和少量较年轻地壳岩石（卢镇关群和佛子岭群？）衍生而成的，而橄榄安粗岩系列则来源于富集地幔并可能混入少量更古老的类似于泰山群的地壳组分。     

库鲁克塔格地区新太古代深沟片麻杂岩特征

鞍山东山风景区3．8—2．5Ga古老岩带的同位素地质年代学和地球化学

鞍山东山风景区古老岩带呈巨型包体存在于立山奥长花岗岩（3．1Ga）中，其主体为条带状片麻岩（3．8Ga）。此外还有金云母透闪石岩、（含）黑云斜长角闪岩、闪长质片麻岩、变石英闪长质岩石、细粒奥长花岗岩、二长花岗岩、伟晶岩脉等。测定了部分岩石的锆石年龄，其中变石英闪长质岩石（A9604）为3．65Ga（Wan et al.,1999），闪长质片麻岩（A9317）为3．5Ga、二长花岗岩（类型I，A9605）为3．1Ga，黑云斜长角闪岩（A0019）为3．3Ga、细粒奥长花岗岩（A0017）为3．2Ga、二长花岗岩（类型Ⅱ，A0020），为2．6Ga，有关岩石的地球化学组成特征在文中地进行了简要介绍，在此基础上，提出了该古老岩带的地质同位素年代演化序列，认为鞍山地区不同时代、不同成因地质体空间上共存是该芡长期地质演化的结果，而不是后期构造作用把它们拼合到一起的，鞍山地区很可能存在＞3．8Ga的古老地壳岩石。     

U-Pb Age and Hf Isotope Study of Detrital Zircons from the Wanzi Supracrustals： Constraints on the Tectonic Setting and Evolution of the Fuping Complex, Trans-North China Orogen

Located in the middle segment of the Trans-North China Orogen, the Fuping Complex is considered as a critical area in understanding the evolution history of the North China Craton （NCC）. The complex is composed of various high-grade and multiply deformed rocks, including gray gneiss, basic granulite, amphibolite, fine-grained gneiss and marble, metamorphosed to upper amphibolite or granulite facies. It can be divided into four rock units： the Fuping TTG gneisses, Longquanguan augen gneisses, Wanzi supracrustals, and Nanying granitic gneisses. U-Pb age and Hf isotope compositions of about 200 detrital zircons from the Wanzi supracrustals of the Fuping Complex have been analyzed. The data on metamorphic zircon rims give ages of 1.82-1.84 Ga, corresponding to the final amalgamation event of the NCC, whereas the data for igneous zircon cores yield two age populations at -2.10 and -2.51 Ga, with some inherited ages scattering between 2.5 and 2.9 Ga. These results suggest that the Wanzi supracrustals were derived from the Fuping TTG gneisses （-2.5 Ga） and the Nanying granitic gneisses （2.0-2.1 Ga） and deposited between 2.10 and 1.84 Ga. All zircons with -2.51 Ga age have positive initial εHf values from ＋1.4 to ＋10.9, suggesting an important crustal growth event at -2.5 Ga through the addition of juvenile materials from the mantle. The Hf isotope data for the detrital zircons further imply that the 2.8 Ga rocks are important components in the lower crust, which is consistent with a suggestion from Nd isotope data for the Eastern Block. The zircons of 2.10 Ga population have initial εHf values of-4.9 to ＋6.1, interpreted as mixing of crustal re-melt with minor juvenile material contribution at 2.1 Ga. These results are distinct from that for the Western Block, supporting that the Fuping Complex was emplaced in a tectonic active environment at the western margin of the Eastern Block.     

The Belomorian eclogite province: sequence of events and age of the igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Gridino association

Within the Belomorian eclogite province, near Gridino Village, rocks of different compositions (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodioritic gneisses, granites, mafic and ultramafic rocks) were metamorphosed. The metamorphism included subsidence with increasing pressure and temperature, an eclogite stage, decompression in the granulitic facies, and a retrograde stage in the amphibolitic facies. We attempted to characterize the succession and to date igneous and metamorphic events in the evolution of the Gridino eclogite association. For this purpose, we conducted the following studies: U–Pb isotope dating of zircon (conventional and SHRIMP II methods) from gneisses, a mafic dike, and a high-pressure granitic leucosome; U–Pb dating of rutile from mafic dikes; ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of amphibole and mica; and Sm–Nd studies of rocks and minerals. The Sm–Nd model ages of felsic (2.9–3.1 Ga) and mafic (3.0–3.4 Ga) rocks from the Gridino eclogite association and individual magmatic zircon grains with an age of ca. 3.0 Ga indicate the Mesoarchean age of the metamorphic-rock protoliths. The most reliable result is the upper age bound of eclogitic metamorphism (2.71 Ga), which reflects the time of the posteclogitic decompression melting of eclogitized rocks under high-pressure retrograde granulitic metamorphism. The mafic dikes formed from 2.82 Ga to 2.72 Ga, most probably, at 2.82 Ga, in accordance with the crystallization age of magmatic zircon from metagabbro. Superimposed amphibolitic metamorphism and the “final” exhumation of metamorphic complexes at 2.0–1.9 Ga are associated with the later Svecofennian tectonometamorphic stage. Successive cooling of the metamorphic associations to 300 °C at 1.9–1.7 Ga is shown by U–Pb rutile dating and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar mica dating.     

Protoliths of Paleoproterozoic calciphyres from the Irkut block (Sharyzhalgai uplift of the Siberian craton): composition and origin

The paper presents data on high-grade silicate–carbonate rocks (calciphyres) from the Irkut block (Sharyzhalgai uplift, southwestern Siberian craton). Their origin and age were determined from the rock characteristics, U–Pb dating, REE content, and Hf isotope composition of zircon. The calciphyres occur both as independent section fragments and as interbeds within Paleoproterozoic garnet-bearing and high-alumina (cordierite- and sillimanite-bearing) gneisses. They were produced by metamorphism of terrigenous-carbonate sediments. The terrigenous sediments range in maturity from arenites and wackes to argillaceous rocks; this is consistent with the reconstruction of the sedimentary protoliths of paragneisses, which are predominant in the metasedimentary rocks. The petrogeochemical features of the calciphyres, their LREE enrichment relative to “pure” carbonate rocks, and a distinct Eu anomaly were inherited from the terrigenous component of calc-silicate sediments. The Nd model age (2.4–2.7 Ga) of the calciphyres and the value T_Hf(DM-2st) = 2.5–3.0 Ga for zircon from these rocks indicate that carbonate accumulation was accompanied by the supply of terrigenous material, which formed during the erosion of Archean and Paleoproterozoic crust. Zircon from the calciphyres is similar to metamorphic zircon in REE patterns and Th/U ratios. It might have been of detrital origin and then recrystallized during high-temperature metamorphism. Terrigenous-silicate rocks were metamorphosed at ca. 1.87 Ga. This is close to the previous age estimates for the terrigenous rocks metamorphism (1.85–1.86 Ga) and the age of baddeleyite from apocarbonate metasomatic rocks (1.86 Ga).     

祁连造山带东端张家川地区长宁驿中元古代花岗质片麻岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其构造意义

在祁连造山带东端古元古界陇山岩群中新识别出中元古代长宁驿花岗质片麻岩。为了精确确定长宁驿花岗质片麻岩的形成时代,对其进行了激光等离子体质谱LA-ICP-MS单颗粒锆石微区U-Pb同位素测年,花岗质片麻岩中锆石Th/U比值介于0.50～2.09,阴极发光图像显示锆石内部发育典型的岩浆生长震荡环带结构,属于岩浆结晶的产物。测得花岗质片麻岩的原岩岩浆结晶年龄为1765Ma±57Ma,表明该花岗质片麻岩原岩的形成时代为中元古代早期,可能形成于华北板块经吕梁运动后的后造山环境中,同时还从捕获的继承性岩浆锆石中得到了时代为1.95Ga、2.20Ga左右的继承年龄。结合区域地质资料,综合分析研究后认为,在中元古代祁连地块仍为华北板块西南缘的一部分,两者之间具有相同的结晶基底和构造属性,它们共同经历了吕梁运动后的后造山和陆内伸展裂解阶段,很可能与Columbia超大陆的聚合和裂解相关。     

Contrasting provenance of Late Archean metasedimentary rocks from the Wutai Complex, North China Craton: detrital zircon U–Pb, whole-rock Sm–Nd isotopic, and geochemical data

Detrital zircon U–Pb ages, whole-rock Nd isotopic, and geochemical data of metasedimentary rocks from the Wutai Complex in the Central Zone, North China Craton, have been determined. Compositionally, these rocks are characterized by a narrow variation in SiO₂/Al₂O₃ (2.78–3.96, except sample 2007-1), variable Eu anomalies, spanning a range from significantly negative Eu anomalies to slightly positive anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.58–1.12), and positive ε _Nd (t) values (0.1–1.97). The 18 detrital zircons of one sample yielded age populations of 2.53 Ga, 2.60 Ga, and 2.70–2.85 Ga. Geochemical data reveal intermediate source weathering, varying degrees of K-metasomatism in the majority of these metasedimentary rocks, whereas other secondary disturbances seem to be negligible. Detailed analysis in detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology, whole-rock Nd isotope, and geochemistry shows that these metasedimentary rocks are derived from a mixed provenance. The predominant derivation is from the late Archean granitoids and metamorphic volcanics in the Wutai Complex, and there is also input of older continental remnants, except TTG gneisses, from the Hengshan and Fuping Complexes. The sediments were probably deposited in fore-arc or/and intra-arc basins within an arc system.     

Paleoproterozoic crustal evolution of the Hengshan–Wutai–Fuping region, North China Craton

An arguable point regarding the Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic crustal evolution of the North China Craton（NCC）is whether the tectonic setting in the central belt during the mid-Paleoproterozoic（2.35-2.0 Ga）was dominated by an extensional regime or an oceanic subduction-arc regime.A review of the midPaleoproterozoic magmatism and sedimentation for the Hengshan-Wutai-Fuping region suggests that a back-arc extension regime was dominant in this region.This conclusion is consistent with the observation that the 2.35-2.0 Ga magmatism shows a typical bimodal distribution where the mafic rocks mostly have arc affinities and the acidic rocks mainly comprise highly-fractioned calc-alkaline to alkaline（or A-type）granites,and that this magmatism was coeval with development of extensional basins characteristic of transgressive sequences with volcanic interlayers such as in the Hutuo Group.Although the final amalgamation of the NCC was believed to occur at ～1.85 Ga,recent zircon U-Pb age dating for mica schist in the Wutai Group suggests a collisional event may have occurred at ～1.95 Ga.The metamorphic ages of ～1.85 Ga,obtained mostly from the high-grade rocks using the zircon U-Pb approach,most probably indicate uplifting and cooling of these high-grade terranes.This is because（i）phase modeling suggests that newly-grown zircon grains in highgrade rocks with a melt phase cannot date the age of peak pressure and temperature stages,but the age of melt crystallization in cooling stages;（ii）the metamorphic P-T paths with isobaric cooling under 6-7 kb for the Hengshan and Fuping granulites suggest their prolonged stay in the middle-lower crust;and（iii）the obtained metamorphic age data show a continuous distribution from 1.95 to 1.80 Ga.Thus,an alternative tectonic scenario for the Hengshan-Wutai-Fuping region involves：（i）formation of a proto-NCC at ～2.5 Ga;（ii）back-arc extension during 2.35-2.0 Ga resulting in bimodal magmatism and sedimentation in rifting basins on an Archean basement;?     

龙泉关剪切带眼球状花岗质片麻岩锆石U-Pb年代学和Lu-Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

恒山五台阜平地区地处华北克拉通中部造山带的中段,早前寒武纪地体出露较好,是解析华北克拉通早前寒武纪演化过程的最佳地段。龙泉关剪切带位于五台杂岩和阜平杂岩的交接部位,其主要岩石类型为眼球状花岗质片麻岩、变粒岩和斜长角闪岩。本文利用LA-ICP-MS方法对龙泉关剪切带中的眼球状花岗质片麻岩进行了锆石U-Pb年龄和Lu-Hf同位素的测试。结果显示,龙泉关眼球状花岗质片麻岩原岩结晶年龄为(2 547±7) Ma,其εHf(t)值介于+2.7~+9.2,表明其源区主要为相对年轻的地壳物质,与五台地区新太古代花岗岩非常相似。龙泉关花岗质眼球状片麻岩中锆石两阶段Hf模式年龄(TDM2)为2 477~2 872 Ma,具有2.58 Ga、2.71 Ga和2.81 Ga三个峰值,记录了华北克拉通新太古代初始地壳生长事件。     

Neoarchaean magmatism and metamorphism of the western granulites in the central domain of the Mozambique belt, Tanzania: U–Pb shrimp geochronology and PT estimates

U–Pb sensitive high resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) dating of zircons from charnockitic and garnet–biotite gneisses from the central portion of the Mozambique belt, central Tanzania indicate that the protolith granitoids were emplaced in a late Archaean, ca. 2.7 Ga, magmatic event. These ages are similar to other U–Pb and Pb–Pb ages obtained for other gneisses in this part of the belt. Zircon xenocrysts dated between 2.8 and 3.0 Ga indicate the presence of an older basement. Major and trace element geochemistry of these high-grade gneisses suggests that the granitoid protoliths may have formed in an active continental margin environment. Metamorphic zircon rims and multifaceted metamorphic zircons are dated at ca. 2.6 Ga indicating that these rocks were metamorphosed some 50–100 my after their emplacement. Pressure and temperature estimates on the charnockitic and garnet–biotite gneisses were obscured by post-peak metamorphic compositional homogenisation; however, these estimates combined with mineral textures suggest that these rocks underwent isobaric cooling to 800–850 °C at 12–14 kbar. It is considered likely that the granulite facies mineral assemblage developed during the ca. 2.6 Ga event, but it must be considered that it might instead represent a pervasive Neoproterozoic, Pan African, granulite facies overprint, similar to the ubiquitous eastern granulites further to the east.     

关于三阶段铅演化体系：以大厂锡矿床及Lewisian片麻岩为例

以大厂锡-多金属矿床、Lewisian片麻岩为例,讨论了成矿/成岩过程中铅的三阶段演化轨迹。在206Pb/204Pb对207Pb/204Pb图解上,大厂硫化物铅的数据点构成了Pb-Pb等时线,该等时线给出了1.508Ga的矿化源岩年龄,说明成矿物质主要来自中元古代基底岩石——四堡群。四堡群本身又可能来自太古宙(2.86Ga)老陆壳,故大厂硫化物中的痕量铅应该具有三阶段的演化史。用三阶段铅演化模式解释大厂硫化物铅同位素资料,结果表明,太古宙老陆壳从上地幔源区分离出来时,其μ2=11.93,大厂矿床矿化源岩的μ3=9.76。不同变质程度的Lewisian杂岩全岩铅具有不同的演化历史:北部区角闪岩相片麻岩具有两阶段的演化史,中心区麻粒岩相片麻岩具有三阶段的演化史。北部区片麻岩两阶段Pb-Pb等时线给出了2.951Ga的成岩年龄,其μ1=7.81。中心区片麻岩三阶段Pb-Pb等时线给出了2.68Ga的变质年龄,其火成源岩的μ2=3.51。在解释异常铅等时线时,对其演化阶段级次的判别具有十分重要意义,它直接涉及不同演化阶段U-Pb体系μ值的计算。资料证明,如果把三次等时线当作二次等时线加以解释,则会导致一系列错误结论的产生。在一般情况下,用三阶段铅演化模式解释某组铅同位素资料时,只是假设第二阶段U-Pb体系是处于封闭状态的,但无任何直接证据。Lewisian北部区片麻岩两阶段铅演化体系与中心区片麻岩三阶段铅演化体系共存的情况为解决上述问题提供了极好的资料。
