扬子地块西南缘大红山群石榴白云母-长石石英片岩的白云母40Ar-39Ar定年及其地质意义

大红山群是扬子地块西南缘出露的古元古代结晶基底,主要经历了绿片岩相-低角闪岩相变质作用.本研究对大红山群老厂河组变质中酸性岩和变质沉积岩——石榴白云母-长石石英片岩中的白云母进行了40Ar-39Ar测年,得到三个样品的坪年龄和40Ar/39Ar等时线年龄结果较统一,坪年龄代表的变质年龄分别为837.7±4.2Ma、839.6±4.2Ma和844.2±4.2Ma.变质沉积岩和变质中酸性岩的变质时代类似,均介于837～845Ma.大红山群变质基性岩中变质锆石的U-Pb定年年龄为849±12Ma(杨红等,2012),40Ar-39Ar测年数据与锆石定年数据相结合,说明大红山群古元古代结晶基底中的火山岩和沉积岩均在新元古代经历了同期变质作用,其主期低角闪岩相变质作用发生于新元古代837～850Ma.结合前人发表的扬子西缘～750Ma的变质年龄,扬子西缘从北向南的区域变质作用时限可扩展到750 ～850Ma.此外,扬子西缘存在750～850Ma的岩浆事件,本文研究结果说明,扬子地块西缘在新元古代不仅发生了大规模岩浆作用,也发生了750～850Ma的区域变质作用,扬子西缘存在新元古代的岩浆-变质事件.岩浆事件与变质事件之间可能存在相关性,即新元古代岩浆作用引起了扬子西缘的区域动力热流变质作用.     

胶北早前寒武纪变质基底多期岩浆-变质热事件:来自TTG片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩中锆石U-Pb定年的证据

本文采用LA-ICP-MS技术,对胶北地体TTG片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩中锆石进行系统原位U-Pb定年和稀土、微量元素的分析,发现研究区早前寒武变质结晶基底存在多期岩浆-变质热事件。4件TTG片麻岩和2件花岗质片麻岩锆石样品记录了2909±13Ma、2738±23Ma、2544±15~2564±12Ma和2095±12Ma 4组岩浆事件年龄,以及2504±16~2513±32Ma和1863±41Ma 2组变质事件年龄。结合以往TTG片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩的地球化学及Nd同位素研究发现,约2738Ma的TTG岩浆事件可能代表胶北地体地壳最主要的生长事件,而2544~2564Ma的岩浆事件则可能代表古老地壳重熔的最强烈岩浆事件,约2095Ma岩浆事件则反映了胶-辽-吉构造带内部在该时期与地壳拉张作用有关的岩浆活动。2504~2513Ma是研究区以及华北克拉通早前寒武基底最主要的一期变质热事件,可能与地幔柱(热点)岩浆的底侵作用有关,而TTG片麻岩记录的约1863Ma的变质年龄与研究区基性和泥质高压麻粒岩相岩石记录的麻粒岩相变质时代一致,暗示TTG片麻岩可能也经历了古元古代高压麻粒岩相变质作用,上述研究进一步表明胶北地体在古元古代的确存在一期陆-陆碰撞的重要造山事件。该项研究成果对于进一步深入探讨胶北乃至华北克拉通早前寒武纪变质基底的形成演化、岩浆-变质热事件序列及其构造背景具有重要的科学意义。     

南米仓山变质岩变质时代及地质意义

通过对汪家坪岩组的两件黑云斜长变粒岩变质岩样品进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究,获得的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄介于843.3~904.9Ma之间,最古老的年龄达1138.46±16.7Ma,表示南米仓山结晶基底在新元古代早期曾发生过强烈的构造-岩浆活动;具有变质锆石特征的样品,获得的年龄数据表明南米仓山地区在新元古代发生过两期变质作用,早期的变质作用峰值年龄约为810.0~900.0Ma,代表着晋宁末期华北大陆板块与扬子板块逐渐对接拼合,古秦岭洋壳迅速向南北两侧俯冲消减事件;晚期变质作用发生在约为550.0~760.0Ma,记录了这一阶段的澄江期岩浆热事件引起的接触变质事件。     

闽北前寒武纪变质岩的P—T—t轨迹和其形成的动力学过程

闻北前寒武纪变质岩是华夏古陆基底的重要组成部分。本文通过对闽北麻源群和马面山群变质岩详细的变质变形关系的研究和石榴子石环带测定P-T-t轨迹的应用,结合构造地质和同位素年代学的资料,证实了麻源群变质岩形成于早元古代或更老年代,在早元古代末期遭受过中压、中高温变质,但在晚元古代晋宁期与中元古代形成的马面山群岩石一起经历了强烈的变质变形作用,表现为早元古代麻源群岩石遭受强烈改造,具有早期地壳再活化特点。麻源群岩石完整的晋宁期变质P-T-t轨迹不支持正常大陆碰撞的假说,它的形成与异常的地幔热流有关,很可能为一种地壳增厚和地幔减薄的动力学模式。     

武夷山地区前寒武纪地层沉积时代研究

武夷山地区前寒武纪地层出露范围大,目前对该地层的形成时代还存在着不同意见。新获得的武夷山地区前寒武纪地层的4个锆石La-ICPMS U-Pb年龄数据,指示万全群的黄潭组和杜潭组分别形成于746.0±6.2Ma和825±18Ma,马面山群东岩组形成于818±14Ma,麻源群大金山组的形成时间晚于879Ma。通过岩性与形成时代对比,认为武夷山地区新元古界的形成时间可以划分为三期,早期由麻源群大金山组和马面山群龙北溪组的陆源碎屑沉积岩构成,形成时限为879—825Ma;中期包括麻源群南山组、马面山群东岩组和大岭组万全群和龙泉群,以及交溪组、迪口组和桃溪组下段,以火山岩—沉积岩系列为主,可以进一步分为两期,即825—800Ma和751—728Ma;晚期由原"天井坪组"主体、桃溪组上段以及楼子坝群下部的沉积岩组成,形成时限为620—542Ma。根据武夷山地区前寒武纪地层的构造变形记录,前寒武纪地层主要记录了3期构造事件,分别为新元古代早期(900—860Ma)的华夏地块与扬子板块的碰撞、新元古代末期(728—620Ma)的挤压构造事件以及加里东运动。     

特提斯喜马拉雅泛非-早古生代造山事件:康马片麻状二长花岗岩的年代学证据

对康马片麻状二长花岗岩进行了高精度锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年,获得了多组锆石U-Pb年龄:1 509.3~953.7,528.8~485.0,439.2~385.8 Ma。1 509.3~953.7 Ma年龄数据证实了康马地区乃至特提斯喜马拉雅地体变质基底岩石为中新元古代产物;康马片麻状二长花岗岩的冷却年龄为528.8Ma,是泛非事件在特提斯—喜马拉雅康马一带的重要地质记录;485.0 Ma是泛非事件延续至早古生代的重要年龄记录,证实了康马二长花岗岩同时卷入泛非事件和早古生代事件中;439.2~385.8Ma年龄数据显示康马片麻状二长花岗在485Ma(泛非-早古生代事件)之后,仍然经历了多期次的岩浆构造热事件。从年代学方面显示康马片麻状二长花岗岩是多期岩浆构造热事件综合作用的产物,本次获得的年龄数据对复原泛非期-古生代地质演化具有重要地质意义。     

吉林永吉县头道沟地区镁铁—超镁铁质岩U-Pb年代学研究及地质意义

吉林省永吉县头道沟地区出露许多与头道沟岩组相伴产出的镁铁—超镁铁质岩,鉴于其处于长春-延吉构造带附近而受到业内关注,但由于缺少高精度年代学资料,制约了对区域大地构造的深入研究。本文采用锆石U-Pb(LA-ICP-MS)方法,对镁铁—超镁铁质岩进行了年代学研究。变质辉绿岩年龄为270±5 Ma,变质橄榄岩中捕获锆石最小年龄为297 Ma,考虑岩石组合及二者紧密相伴产出,认为二者均形成于中二叠世。镁铁—超镁铁质岩中捕获的锆石记录了华北克拉通及其北缘多次重要的构造热事件。其中,变辉绿岩中获得446±6 Ma的年龄与变质橄榄岩中获得的不一致线下交点434±240 Ma年龄共同对应了华北克拉通北缘早古生代的重要构造岩浆热事件;大量的1.8~2.4Ga年龄对应古元古代辽吉造山带热事件;1377 Ma、1542 Ma与蓟县系建造时代对应;869~997 Ma与青白口系建造时代对应;在变质辉绿岩中还存在众多3.0~3.2Ga锆石年龄。分析上述年龄结构及龙岗陆块北缘古生代地质体分布特征,推测研究区深部可能存在古老的变质基底,同时也表明研究区出露的镁铁—超镁铁质岩形成于陆内构造环境,而非蛇绿岩的组成成分,这对深化区域大地构造研究具有重要意义。     

赞皇变质窍隆黑云母^40Ar／^39Ar年代学研究及其对构造热事件的约束

太行山南段赞皇变质杂岩中黑云母给出了1827～1793Ma的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar坪年龄,代表了变质基底在经历高温热扰动后冷却到300℃时的热事件年龄。结合华北克拉通变质岩的其他年代学资料,认为1800Ma士华北克拉通内经历了一次广泛而强烈的构造热伸展事件,致使克拉通基底岩石快速抬升到中上地壳,其冷却速率>6℃/Ma,隆升速率>200m/Ma。赞皇变质杂岩内苍岩寺、岗西-榆底-黑水河东和坡底-郝庄韧性剪切带内糜棱岩中黑云母分别给出了1689Ma、1633Ma和1645Ma的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar坪年龄,代表了剪切带变形的主变形时代,这一年龄也为约束长城系的底界年龄提供了新的信息。结合已有的热年代学资料,推断华北克拉通内部赞皇变质地区中元古代的冷却速率约0.4℃/Ma,隆升速率为15m/Ma。由此也表明,自中元古代以来华北克拉通内部未受到后期构造热事件的强烈扰动,赞皇变质杂岩并非中生代变质核杂岩,而是早元古代变质穹隆。     

闽北前加里东期变质基底的多期变形和构造层次研究

闽北前加里东期变质基底大致可以划分为三个构造层:下构造层下亚构造层的麻源群(古元古代)、下构造层上亚构造层马面山群(中元古代)和中构造层长汀浅变质岩系(新元古代—早古生代)。麻源群存在四个世代的变形,前两个世代以深构造层次共轴叠加的平卧褶皱为特征,后两个世代则发育浅构造层次的斜歪褶皱和膝折带构造。马面山群发育三个世代的构造变形,自早而晚分别为:深构造层次平卧褶皱、浅构造层次的紧闭相似褶皱及膝折带构造。长汀浅变质岩系除局部地段可能存在紧闭褶皱外,以膝折带构造及宽缓褶皱变形为主。     

滇西南大红山群变火山-沉积岩地球化学属性、年代格架及其构造意义

云南新平地区大红山群出露于扬子地块西南缘,主要由低绿片岩相-角闪岩相变质的火山-沉积岩组成。大红山群的岩石成因、年代格架及其形成的构造背景缺乏系统研究,制约了地质学家们全面认识和理解扬子西南缘<~1.75 Ga的构造演化历史。本文以大红山群底部老厂河组变沉积岩及其内部变火山岩夹层为重点研究对象,开展岩相学、全岩地球化学和锆石U-Pb定年等综合研究。岩石地球化学研究结果表明,变沉积岩的化学成分与大陆上地壳沉积物成分接近,原岩为成熟度较高的泥岩/页岩,未经历沉积再循环,形成于被动大陆边缘的构造背景;变火山岩原岩化学成分相当于钙碱性过铝质A型流纹岩,形成于造山后的大陆裂谷拉张环境。锆石U-Pb定年结果显示,老厂河组变沉积岩的碎屑锆石记录了2.3~2.2 Ga和1.9~1.75 Ga两个主年龄峰以及2.7~2.6 Ga次年龄峰。结合前人研究结果,表明大红山群物源主要来源于扬子地块西南缘的太古宙-古元古代基底岩石。变火山岩样品的岩浆锆石核部记录了1 713~1 711 Ma的年龄,应代表老厂河组原岩的形成时代,锆石的变质增生边限定峰期变质时代为约843 Ma。综合前人研究结果表明,大红山群普遍经历了849~837 Ma的新元古代变质事件。综上所述,扬子地块西南缘的大红山群完好记录了与Columbia超大陆裂解有关的非造山岩浆活动,新元古代变质事件可能与Rodinia超大陆裂解和聚合过程密切相关。     

The terrestrial fauna of the Late Triassic Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry fissures,South Wales,UK and a new species of Clevosaurus (Lepidosauria: Rhynchocephalia)

Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry in South Wales yielded a rich cache of fossils in the early 1950s, including articulated specimens of new species (the small sauropodomorph dinosaur Pantydraco caducus and the crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus gracilis), but no substantial study of the wider fauna of the Pant-y-ffynnon fissure systems has been published. Here, our overview of existing specimens, a few described but mostly undescribed, as well as freshly processed material, provides a comprehensive picture of the Pant-y-ffynnon palaeo-island of the Late Triassic. This was an island with a relatively impoverished fauna dominated by small clevosaurs (rhynchocephalians), including a new species, Clevosaurus cambrica, described here from a partially articulated specimen and isolated bones. The new species has a dental morphology that is intermediate between the Late Triassic Clevosaurus hudsoni, from Cromhall Quarry to the east, and the younger C. convallis from Pant Quarry to the west, suggesting adaptive radiation of clevosaurs in the palaeo-archipelago. The larger reptiles on the palaeo-island do not exceed 1.5?m in length, including a small carnivorous crocodylomorph, Terrestrisuchus, and a possible example of insular dwarfism in the basal dinosaur Pantydraco.     

Définition d'une limite multicritère ; stratigraphie du passage Campanien–Maastrichtien du site géologique de Tercis (Landes,SW France)Definition of a multi-criteria boundary; stratigraphy of the Campanian–Maastrichtian interval of the geological site at Tercis (Landes,SW France)

Lithostratigraphy, physicochemical stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and geochronology of the 77–70 Ma old series bracketing the Campanian–Maastrichtian boundary have been investigated by 70 experts. For the first time, direct relationships between macro- and microfossils have been established, as well as direct and indirect relationships between chemo-physical and biostratigraphical tools. A combination of criteria for selecting the boundary level, duration estimates, uncertainties on durations and on the location of biohorizons have been considered; new chronostratigraphic units are proposed. The geological site at Tercis is accepted by the Commission on Stratigraphy as the international reference for the stratigraphy of the studied interval. To cite this article: G.S. Odin, C. R.

The effect of water on accessory phase solubility in subaluminous and peralkaline granitic melts

The solubilities of columbite, tantalite, wolframite, rutile, zircon and hafnon were determined as a function of the water contents in peralkaline and subaluminous granite melts. All experiments were conducted at 1035 °C and 2 kbar and the water contents of the melts ranged from nominally dry to approximately 6 wt.% H₂O. Accessory phase solubilities are not affected by the water content of the peralkaline melt. By contrast, solubilities are affected by the water content of the subaluminous melt, where the solubilities of all the accessory phases examined increase with the water content of the melt, up to 2 wt.% H₂O. At higher water contents, solubilities are nearly constant. It can be concluded that water is not an important control of accessory phase solubility, although the water content will affect diffusivities of components in the melt, thus whether or not accessory phases will be present as restite material. The solubility behaviour in the subaluminous and peralkaline melts supports previous spectroscopic studies, which have observed differences in the coordination of high field strength elements in dry vs. wet subaluminous granitic glasses, but not for peralkaline granitic glasses. Lastly, the fact that wolframite solubility increases with increasing water content in the subaluminous melt suggests that tungsten dissolved as a hexavalent species.     

Late Wuchiapingian (Late Dzhulfian,early Late Permian) limestone olistolites within the Tertiary flysch of Glypia Unit (Mount Parnon,central–eastern Peloponnesus,Greece)

Some olistolites reworked in a Tertiary flysch of Mount Parnon (Peloponnesus, Greece) exhibit a Late Permian assemblage, dominated by Paradunbarula (Shindella) shindensis, Hemigordiopsis cf. luquensis and Colaniella aff. minima. This association corresponds to the Late Wuchiapingian (=Late Dzhulfian), a substage whose algae and foraminifera are generally little known. Contemporaneous limestones crop out in the middle part of the Episkopi Formation in Hydra, but they are rather commonly reworked in Mesozoic and Cainozoic sequences. The palaeobiogeographical affinities shared by the foraminiferal markers of Greece, southeastern Pamir, and southern China, are very strong (up to the specific level), and are congruent with the Pangea B reconstructions.
