东秦岭钼矿带内碳酸岩脉型钼（铅）矿床地质 地球化学特征、成矿机制及成矿构造背景

东秦岭钼矿带位于华北板块南缘,NW-NWW向的固始―栾川深断裂带控制着钼矿床的空间分布.黄水庵碳酸岩脉型钼(铅)矿床的确定,为本矿带内已有碳酸岩脉型钼(铅)矿床(黄龙铺地区的大石沟、石家湾和桃园等)增添了又一新成员.本矿带不仅钼金属储量居世界已知单个钼矿带之首,而且碳酸岩脉和花岗斑岩两个成矿体系并存,亦是本区钼矿带的一大特色.业已查明,黄水庵和黄龙铺(大石沟)等碳酸岩脉型钼(铅)矿床的δ~(13)C=-5.3‰～-7.0‰,~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr=0.7049～0.7065.同时,方解石富含轻稀土(LREE/HREE=1.8～2.9).辉钼矿以富含Re(平均为110×10~(-6)～244×10~(-6))为特征.基于含矿碳酸岩脉方解石的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素比值(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr对~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb、~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb对~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb和~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd对~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)的关系图,我们初步判断本矿带区域陆壳之下可能存在有EMI(富集地幔Ⅰ),这些含矿碳酸岩脉是源于EMI的碱性硅酸盐-碳酸盐熔体-溶液结晶分异的产物,成矿金属Mo、Pb主要来自EMI.根据黄水庵和黄龙铺(大石沟)钼(铅)矿床的成矿年龄(Re-Os年龄分别为209.5 Ma和221 Ma),我们推断,碳酸岩脉型钼(铅)矿床形成于华北和扬子两大板块三叠纪碰撞造山后伸展阶段的晚三叠世时期,而在侏罗纪陆内造山晚期的伸展阶段,形成了晚侏罗-早白垩世的斑岩型和斑岩-矽卡岩型钼矿床(Re-Os年龄介于147～116 Ma).     

汉诺坝-阳原火成碳酸岩成因探讨

大多数幔源硅酸盐岩浆都含少量碳酸盐岩浆,这些少量的碳酸盐岩浆在地幔演化中起了非同寻常的作用。本文报道了发现于汉诺坝、阳原地区新生代玄武岩中鲜见的火成碳酸岩。碳酸岩脉贯穿于玄武岩及其捕虏体橄榄岩,并导致橄榄岩强烈的碳酸盐化现象。碳酸岩脉主要由方解石组成(90%以上),岩石类型为方解石碳酸岩,含少量被裹挟的地幔橄榄石、斜方辉石、单斜辉石和尖晶石等矿物。碳酸岩化橄榄岩由原先的黄、绿色变为紫褐色,灰白色网状碳酸岩细脉穿插其中。碳酸岩脉和碳酸盐化橄榄岩的全岩稀土含量很低(∑REE=8.7×10-6～13.7×10-6),球粒陨石标准化REE模式呈LREE略微富集(～10×球粒陨石)分布模式,微量元素也只显示轻微富集(数倍于原始地幔),它们的δ13C均为负值(-11.2‰～-12.3‰),δ18O均为正值(22.0‰～22.6‰)。碳酸岩的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素组成均显示富集(87Sr/86Sr=0.7078～0.7079,143Nd/144Nd=0.5129,206Pb/204Pb=18.0,207Pb/204Pb=15.5,208Pb/204Pb=38.0)。由于碳酸盐岩浆喷出地表后易于风化,导致REE、微量元素和同位素组成明显偏离原生火成碳酸岩。但从张北少数新鲜碳酸岩所具有的原生火成碳酸岩的C、O同位素组成(δ13C=-5.7‰～-7.3‰,δ18O=8.5‰～10.1‰)特征,以及接沙坝碳酸岩的正εNd(5.3～5.5)为亏损地幔的特征,表明汉诺坝碳酸岩与玄武岩的同源性——它们都来自地幔。     

四川里庄稀土矿床岩浆碳酸岩的地球化学

里庄稀土矿床位于四川冕宁县西南方向49 km，为侵位于碱性杂岩体中的碳酸岩脉状矿床。本文从稀土元素地球化学和同位素地球化学的角度探讨了碳酸岩与地幔过程之间的关系。研究表明，碳酸岩的∑REE为（9236.2~5943.6)×10-6,为LREE富集型，与典型岩浆碳酸岩特征相似；碳酸岩的C、O同位素组成非常稳定，其δ13CV-PDB和δ13OV-SMOW，分别为-3.9‰~-5.3‰和8.7‰~11.9‰,均落在“原生碳酸岩”的C、O同位素组成范围之内；碳酸岩的Pb、Sr同位素组成比较均一，其87Sr/86Sr,206Pb/204Pb,207Pb/204Pb,208Pb/204Pb分别为0.706305~0.706997、18.197~18.220、15.601~15.604、38.401~38.434，与EMⅠ型地幔源区的同位素组成基本一致。所有这些特征均表明岩石来自交代富集地幔源区。

秦岭造山带发现新型铀多金属矿:华阳川与伟晶岩脉和碳酸岩脉有关的超大型铀-铌-铅-稀土矿床

华阳川铀多金属矿位于华北板块南缘小秦岭构造带的西段,是一个以U、Nb、Pb为主并伴生有稀有稀土元素的可综合利用的超大型矿床。矿体主要赋存于太古代TTG片麻岩套中(武家坪黑云斜长片麻岩和大月坪花岗片麻岩)。矿化与伟晶岩脉、火成碳酸岩脉和碳酸盐脉紧密共生。伟晶岩脉主要由微斜长石、石英以及黑云母、角闪石、褐帘石、榍石和独居石组成。火成碳酸岩脉主要由方解石、石英、重晶石、霓辉石、钠闪石、黑云母和磷灰石等组成。碳酸盐脉主要由方解石、石英、重晶石和沸石等组成。根据脉体穿插关系和矿物组合特征,矿化可分为伟晶岩阶段、早期碳酸岩阶段和晚期碳酸盐化阶段,伟晶岩阶段和早期碳酸岩阶段以铀铌矿化为主,晚期碳酸盐化阶段则以铅矿化为主。铀矿物以铌钛铀矿为主,晶质铀矿次之;铌矿物以铌钛铀矿为主,褐钇铌矿次之;铅矿物以方铅矿为主,白铅矿次之。此外,U、Nb还以类质同像或吸附的形式赋存于褐帘石、独居石和磷灰石等富集稀土元素的矿物中。根据含矿主岩、矿石矿物以及成矿元素组合特征,认为华阳川矿床不同于世界上其他类型的铀矿床,属于与伟晶岩和碳酸岩有关的铀-铌-铅-稀土矿床。     

冀北大滩盆地钾玄岩系列的厘定、岩石成因及与铀成矿关系

大滩盆地位于华北克拉通北缘隆起带和沽源—红山子铀成矿带西南段,盆地内五里营铀矿点赋存在义县期（早白垩世晚期）二长斑岩中。二长斑岩全岩为高钾、富碱、低钛、贫铁,富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素,无明显Eu负异常,具有碱性系列和钙碱性系列的特征,属典型的钾玄岩系列;\[n(87Sr)/n(86Sr)\]i为0. 707290~0. 707399(平均值为0. 707343),\[n (143Nd)/n(144Nd)\]i为0. 511849~0. 511895(平均值为0. 511876),εNd(t)值变化范围是-12. 38~-11. 49,\[n(206Pb)/n(204Pb)\]i为17. 236~17. 343(平均值17. 296),\[n(207Pb)/n(204Pb)\]i为15. 407~15. 428(平均值为15. 416),\[n(208Pb)/n(204Pb)\]i为37. 666~37. 707(平均值为37. 684)。εNd(t)—\[n(87Sr)/n(86Sr)\]i、\[n(143Nd)/n(144Nd)\]i—\[n(87Sr)/n(86Sr)\]i、\[n(207Pb)/n(204Pb)\]i—\[n(206Pb)/n(204Pb)\]i和\[n(208Pb)/n(204Pb)\]i—\[n(206Pb)/n(204Pb)\]i图解显示岩浆来源与EMⅠ富集地幔密切相关,可能还有下地壳组分的参与。受太平洋板块洋壳俯冲和华北克拉通岩石圈拆沉的双重影响,其构造环境为拉伸环境,岩浆主要源于加厚陆壳底部物质的部分熔融。五里营铀矿化与下庄矿田“交点型”铀矿床成矿特征相似,赋存于一系列NNW向硅化、青磐岩化蚀变带内,其赋矿围岩二长斑岩（钾玄岩系列）所具备的富集地幔印记制约着U等大离子亲石元素的富集。     

扬子板块东段构造—岩石—同位素地球化学省划分

通过对比研究新生代玄武岩Pb,Sr,Nd同位素组成及前寒武纪基底Nd同位素组成,本文将扬子板块东段划归为四个构造－岩石－同位素地球化学省,即苏沪省、嘉山省,北扬子省和南扬子省。其中,喜山省位于庐江－灌云断裂和庐断裂之间,以高^87Sr/^86Sr比（0.70435-0.70490),低^143Ndxx (0.512395-0.512615)和低放射成因铅（^206Pb/^204Pb,^207Pb/^204Pb和^208Pb/^204Pb分别为16.594-17.266,15.317-15.437和37.352-37.782)为特点;苏沪省们于苏皖边界以东,以低^87Sr/^86Sr比（0.70341-0.70392）,高^143Nd/^144Nd比（0.512838-0.513002)和较高放射成因铅（^206Pb/^204Pb,^207Pb/^204Pb^和208Pb/^204Pb分别为17.789-18.275,15.489-15.552和37.831-38.369)为特点;北扬子省位于庐江－灌云断裂以南,富含放射成因铅（^206Pb/^204Pb为18.021-18.150,^207Pb/^204Pb为15.546-15.574,^208Pb/^204Pb为38.154-38.469),而^87Sr/^86Sr比和^143Nd/^144Nd比（分别为0.70464-0.70468和0.512748-0.512774）介于嘉山省和苏沪省之间。     

甘肃西秦岭两类新生代钾质火山岩:岩石地球化学与成因

甘肃西秦岭地区存在钾霞橄黄长岩和钾质粗面玄武岩(钾玄岩)两类钾质火山岩,出露在甘肃西秦岭礼县、宕昌县等,地理坐标大致相当于104°20′～104°50′E,33°30′～34°10′N。钾霞橄黄长岩是一种不含斜长石,但普遍含有高钛金云母、黄长石、白榴石、霞石的岩石,全岩化学成分具低SiO2和Al2O3,富TiO2、CaO、MgO和高K/Na、高Mg#值的特征;钾质粗面玄武岩(钾玄岩)含有大量斜长石但是缺乏高钛金云母、黄长石、白榴石和霞石,全岩化学中SiO2、Al2O3明显高于前者,而TiO2、CaO、MgO、K/Na和Mg#值要比钾霞橄黄长岩低。钾霞橄黄长岩的全岩K/Ar和金云母单矿物的39Ar/40Ar同位素定年落在7.1～23Ma,而钾玄岩的全岩39Ar/40Ar同位素定年落在9Ma左右,因此它们同为中新世产物。两类钾质火山岩具有相似的富集不相容元素和轻稀土的特征。两类钾质火山岩的初始87Sr/86Sr分别在0.70403～0.70749和0.70412～0.70522;143Nd/144Nd分别在0.51274～0.51294和0.51265～0.51276;εNd分别在1.12～5.95和0.3～2.3。206Pb/204Pb、207Pb/204Pb和208Pb/204Pb分别落到18.3746～18.9986、15.529～15.6693和38.4971～39.4144。在火山岩源区示踪的143Nd/144Nd-87Sr/86Sr,207Pb/204Pb-206Pb/204Pb,208Pb/204Pb-206Pb/204Pb,143Nd/144Nd-206Pb/204Pb,87Sr/86Sr-206Pb/204Pb和Ba/Nb-La/Nb图解中,一致显示两类钾质火山岩具有与OIB相似的地球化学特征,源区可能与地幔柱有关,并具有EM1、DMM和HIMU端员混合特征。结合前人对该区深部地球物理和断裂构造的研究,论证了火山岩的起源与成因,指出作为对印度—欧亚大陆强烈碰撞的吸收与调节,高原下软流圈地幔流沿400km界面向北东方向的侧向流动以及西秦岭周边克拉通块体的阻挡,是形成西秦岭断裂系左行走滑特征和巨大拉分盆地的主要原因,也是导致西秦岭新生代两类钾质火山岩和碳酸岩起源与成因的动力学机制,较好地解释了西秦岭新生代岩浆作用起源深度大,具有地幔柱源的地球化学特征,岩石组合与地球化学有别于高原内部及其周边地区新生代钾质火山岩的原因。     

四川牦牛坪碳酸岩的同位素地球化学及其成矿动力学

世界上绝大多数与碱性岩浆岩（包括碳酸岩）有关的稀土矿床产于裂谷化环境中，但四川牦牛坪稀土矿床却形成于新生代造山过程中。牦牛坪是一个与碱性杂岩体密切有关的稀土矿床，矿化与岩浆碳酸岩直接有关。碳酸岩的同位素地球化学组成变化很小，^206Pb/^204Pb=18.162-18.194,^207Pb/^204Pb=15.536-15.567,^208Pb/^204Pb=38.283-38.390,^87Sr/^86Sr=0.70605-0.70691,^143Nd/^144Nd=0.512327=0.512436,与EMI型地幔源区的同位素组成基本一致，表明牦牛坪稀土元素的成矿作用与深部动力学过程有关。在强烈的挤压造山过程中能够有EMI型地幔物质上侵，表明进入新生代以来，龙门山造山带乃至整个青藏高原及周边地区的地球动力学背景不仅限于板块的水平挤压与俯冲，还应考虑到地幔物质及其活动过程的显著贡献。     

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of carbonatites from South Nam Xe,Lai Chau area,northwest Vietnam

This paper presents a study of the petrography, mineral chemistry, geochemistry, and Sr–Nd–Pb–C–O isotope systematics of carbonatite dykes and associated rocks from the northeastern part of the Song Da intracontinental rift in South Nam Xe (northwest Vietnam) aimed at constraining the origin of the carbonatite magmas. The carbonatites are characterized by SiO₂ < 12.18 wt.% and by wide ranges in FeO, MgO and CaO content that define them as calciocarbonatite and ferrocarbonatite. On U–Th–Pb isochron diagrams, whole rocks and mineral separates from the ferrocarbonatites form linear arrays corresponding to ages of 30.2–31.6 Ma (Rupelian, Oligocene). The South Nam Xe carbonatites are extremely enriched in Sr, Ba, and light rare earth elements (LREE), and depleted in high field strength elements (HFSE) (e.g. Ti, Nb, Ta, Zr and Hf). The age–corrected Sr–Nd–Pb isotope ratios and C isotope data are relatively uniform (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_(t) = 0.708193–0.708349; ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd_(t) = 0.512250–0.512267; ε_Nd(t) = ?6.46 to ?6.80; ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb_(t) = 18.26–18.79; ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb_(t) = 15.62–15.64; ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb_(t) = 38.80–39.38; δ¹³C_V-PDB = –2.7?‰ to ?4.1?‰). These isotopic compositions indicate source contamination that occurred before the production of the carbonatite magmas, and did not change noticeably during or after emplacement. The variation in oxygen isotopes is consistent with the change in mineral compositions and trace element abundances: the lower δ¹⁸O values (9.1–11.0?‰) coupled with Sr-rich, Mn-poor calcite, and igneous textures such as triple junctions among calcite grain boundaries, define a magmatic origin. However, the elevated δ¹⁸O values of the ferrocarbonatites (12.0–13.3?‰) coupled with a volatile-bearing mineral assemblages (including REE fluorcarbonates, sulfates, sulfides and fluorite) may be due to interaction with meteoric water during low-temperature alteration. High δ¹³C values and Sr–Pb ratios, and low Rb/Sr (0.00014–0.00301), Sm/Nd (0.089–0.141) and ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd ratios, coupled with very high Sr-Nd concentrations, suggest the involvement of an enriched mantle component, which probably resulted from metasomatism due to the migration of subducted material. Because of the lack of tectonic data and the limited number of samples studied, this conclusion is still ambiguous and requires further study.     

Isotopic and Geochemical Investigation of the Chilwa Island Carbonatite Complex, Malawi: Evidence for a Depleted Mantle Source Region, Liquid Immiscibility, and Open-System Behaviour

Initial Nd, Pb, and Sr isotopic data from carbonatites and associatedintrusive silica-undersaturated rocks from the early Jurassic,Chilwa Island complex, located in southern Malawi, central Africa,suggest melt derivation from a Rb/Sr- and Nd/Sm-depleted butTh/Pb- and U/Pb-enriched mantle source. Initial ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd(0.51265–0.51270) isotope ratios from the Chilwa Islandcarbonatites are relatively constant, but their initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr(0.70319–0.70361) ratios are variable. The ¹⁸O_smow (9.53–14.15%0)and ¹³C_PDB (–3.27 to –1.50%0) isotope ratios ofthe carbonates are enriched relative to the range of mantlevalues, and there is a negative correlation between ¹⁸O andSr isotope ratios. The variations in Sr, C, and O isotopic ratiosfrom the carbonatites suggest secondary processes, such as interactionwith meteoric groundwater during late-stage carbonatite activity.The initial ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd (0.51246 0.51269) and initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr(0.70344–0.70383) isotope ratios from the intrusive silicaterocks are more variable, and the Sr more radiogenic than thosefrom the carbonatites. Most of the Pb isotope data from Chilwa Island plot to the rightof the geochron and close to the oceanic regression line definedby MORBs and OIBs. Initial Pb isotopic ratios from both carbonatites(²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb 15.63–15.71; ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb 19.13–19.78)and silicate rocks (²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb 15.61–15.72; ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb18.18–20.12) show pronounced variations, and form twogroups in Pb-Pb plots. The isotopic variations shown by Nd, Pb, and Sr for the ChilwaIsland carbonatites and intrusive silicates suggest that thesemelts underwent different evolutionary histories. The chemicaldata, including isotopic ratios, from the carbonatites and olivinenephelinites are consistent with magmatic differentiation ofa carbonated-nephelinite magma. A model is proposed in whichdifferentiation of the carbonatite magma was accompanied byfenitization (metasomatic alteration) of the country rocks bycarbonatite-derived fluids, and subsequent alteration of thecarbonatite by hydrothermal activity. The chemical and isotopicdata from the non-nephelinitic intrusive silicate rocks reveala more complex evolutionary history, involving either selectivebinary mixing of lower-crustal granulites and a nephelinitemagma, or incremental batch melting of a depleted source andsubsequent crustal contamination.     

Initial Pb–Sr(–Nd) isotopic heterogeneity in a single allanite–epidote crystal: implications of reaction history for the dating of minerals with low parent-to-daughter ratios

We analyzed 17 fragments from a zoned allanite–epidote crystal (ca 2.2 mm × 4.0 mm), which had formed during different prograde and retrograde stages of ultra high pressure (UHP) and amphibolite facies metamorphism (240–230 Ma, Sulu Belt, E China), for the isotopic composition of Pb, Nd, and Sr and contents of Pb, U, and Th, Sr and Rb, and Nd and Sm. Since most fragments had ²³⁸U/²⁰⁴Pb and ²³²Th/²⁰⁴Pb values less than 1, corrections for in situ Pb growth are small and uncertainties in the recalculation of the Pb isotopic compositions to 240 Ma are insignificant. The recalculated Pb falls on a linear trend in the ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb vs ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb diagram with the allanite defining the low–²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb end (17.07) of this trend and the epidote defining its high–²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb end (17.56). The recalculated data scatter in the ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb vs ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb diagram, which implies that the initial Pb isotopic variation reflects the involvement of at least three different Pb sources. The low ⁸⁷Rb/⁸⁶Sr values account for a change in ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr by in situ ⁸⁷Sr growth of less than 0.0007, which implies that the isotopic heterogeneity of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.70601–0.7200) is a primary feature. The Pb and Sr isotope data unequivocally demonstrate that contributions from different precursor minerals result in initial isotopic heterogeneity in the metamorphic reaction product. It is likely that such an initial isotopic heterogeneity also exists for Nd, but it could not be resolved in the present study. Initially heterogeneous Pb and Sr isotope compositions imply that age differences between core and rim of large crystals may result in the determination of highly arbitrary geological rates, especially for minerals with relatively low parent-to-daughter ratios.     

Pb/Pb age determinations on the Newania and Sevattur carbonatites of India: evidence for multi-stage histories

The ages of Indian carbonatites are still controversial. Most of the earlier datings were done by K/Ar methods. We therefore analysed Pb/Pb ratios in carbonatites from carbonatite-alkalic complexes of Newania (NW India, Rajasthan State) and Sevattur (SW India, Tamil Nadu State) to constrain the age and geological history of these rocks. Newania carbonatites are intrusive into Precambrian Untala granite-gneiss and mainly dolomitic in composition (rauhaugite) followed by a later phase of ankerite carbonatite, while thin calcite carbonatite (sövite) dykelets are the youngest in the sequence. The analysed whole-rock samples are characterised by ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios between 60 and 176 and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios between 22 and 40, which are extremely high in comparison to common igneous rocks and even for carbonatite compositions. One sample, New 37, shows the extreme ratios of ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 574 and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 73. This requires a μ-value of about 2000 for the last 1550 Ma. If the samples are classified according to their petrographic/geochemical characteristics this results in an isochron age of 1551 ± 46 Ma for the ankerite carbonatites (six samples). The dolomites (6 samples) yield an isochron age of 2.27 Ga. Although these results fit quite well into the geological evolution scheme of the area, the extreme long age hiatus between dolomite carbonatite and ferrocarbonatite formation events raises severe problems for their petrologic interpretation.

The Proterozoic Sevattur carbonatite complex (SCC, Tamil Nadu) was emplaced contemporaneously with a large number of carbonatite complexes within the Precambrian gneissic terrane of the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt. The main mass is composed of dolomite carbonatite (rauhaugite) with a few dikes of calcite carbonatite (sövite) and ankerite carbonatite within it. All eight samples together yield an isochron of 805 ± 10 Ma. This isochron is mainly determined on ankerite carbonatites with μ-values up to 1900 for the last 800 Ma. Taking only ankerite carbonatites into account, the resulting age is 801 ± 11 Ma. The ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios of these samples are similar to the main group of Newania and far beyond the isotopic composition of common igneous rocks.

Our investigations show that in carbonatitic rock systems extremely high lead isotopic ratios can be established due to the crystallization of uranium-rich mineral phases. In both cases the observed high to extremely high initial Pb isotope ratios require the residence of the lead in intermediate high-μ reservoirs either within the upper mantle or the crust prior to the carbonatite formation. A high-temperature event, which completely reset the Rb/Sr and K/Ar isotopic systems of Nevania carbonatites, seems to have no influence on the lead isotopic systematics.

呈层状、似层状产于震旦系灯影组角砾状白云岩层间构造带中的马元铅锌矿床是近年来在扬子陆块北缘铅锌找矿的新突破。文章通过碳、氧、氢、硫、铅和锶同位素地球化学特征研究,探讨了成矿流体和成矿金属来源。研究结果表明:矿石中热液脉石矿物的δ13CPDB为-4.24‰~0.93‰,δ18OSMOW为15.92‰~23.24‰,表明成矿流体中的CO2为震旦系碳酸盐岩的溶解成因。矿石中硫化物的δ34S变化于12.94‰~19.4‰之间;硫酸盐矿物的δ34S为32.2‰~33.48‰,表明还原硫主要来自地层中海相硫酸盐的还原。矿石硫化物的铅同位素组成均一,206Pb/204Pb、207Pb/204Pb和208Pb/204Pb分别为17.62~18.02、15.49~15.63和37.57~38.35,成矿金属可能主要来源于震旦系—志留系。脉石矿物石英流体包裹体的δDFI为-92‰和-113‰,如果取成矿温度200℃,根据δ18O石英值计算的相应流体包裹体的δ18O水为6.03‰~12.73‰,推测成矿流体可能起源于大气降水为主的盆地卤水,或为其他来源的流体与有机质反应形成。成矿流体87Sr/86Sr为0.70967~0.71146,高于赋矿围岩震旦系灯影组白云岩锶同位素比值(0.70890~0.70945),表明成矿流体流经了古生代地层(及基底),并与其中具有高锶同位素比值的碎屑岩、页岩和泥岩等进行了水岩反应及同位素交换。     

小秦岭碳酸岩的Sr-Nd-Pb同位素地球化学

小秦岭碳酸岩位于华北板块南缘,其（87Sr/86Sr）i与εNd值分别介于0.70495～0.70552和-10.1～4.6之间,紧靠EM1地幔端元,但相对EM1具有低Sr和低Nd特征。Pb同位素与华北板块南缘完全不同,而是落在了南秦岭下地壳范围之内,这表明华北板块南缘下地壳或地幔已经受到南秦岭地壳物质俯冲置换的影响,即在晚三叠纪时期,秦岭地区的碰撞造山作用可能已经结束,转入伸展拉张的构造环境。并进一步论述了秦岭地区三叠纪花岗岩是在深部拉张的构造环境下形成以及具有幔源物质参与的特征。     

Sr and Nd isotope data of apatite,calcite and dolomite as indicators of source,and the relationships of phoscorites and carbonatites from the Kovdor massif,Kola peninsula,Russia

A detailed Sr−Nd isotopic study of primary apatite, calcite and dolomite from phoscorites and carbonatites of the Kovdor massif (380 Ma), Kola peninsula, Russia, reveals a complicated evolutionary history. At least six types of phoscorites and five types of carbonatite have been identified from Kovdor by previous investigators based on relative ages and their major and accessory minerals. Isotopic data from apatite define at least two distinct groups of phoscorite and carbonatite. Apatite from the earlier phoscorites and carbonatites (group 1) are characterized by relatively low⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.70330–0.70349) and¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd initial ratios (0.51230–0.51240) with F=2.01–2.23 wt%, Sr=2185–2975 ppm, Nd=275–660 ppm and Sm=31.7–96.2 ppm. Apatite from the second group has higher⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.70350–0.70363) and¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd initial ratios (0.51240–0.51247) and higher F (2.63–3.16 wt%), Sr (4790–7500 ppm), Nd (457–1074 ppm) and Sm (68.7–147.6 ppm) contents. This group corresponds to the later phoscorites and carbonatites. One apatite sample from a carbonatite from the earlier group fits into neither of the two groups and is characterized by the highest initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.70385) and lowest¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd (0.51229) of any of the apatites. Within both groups initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd ratios show negative correlations. Strontium isotope data from coexisting calcite and dolomite support the findings from the apatite study. The Sr and Nd isotopic similarities between carbonatites and phoscorites indicate a genetic relationship between the two rock types. Wide variations in Sr and Nd isotopic composition within some of the earlier carbonatites indicate several distinct intrusive phases. Oxygen isotopic data from calcite and dolomite (δ¹⁸O=+7.2 to +7.7‰ SMOW) indicate the absence of any low-temerature secondary processes in phoscorites and carbonatites, and are consistent with a mantle origin for their parental melts. Apatite data from both groups of phoscorite plot in the depleted quadrant of an ε_Nd versus ε_Sr diagram. Data for the earlier group lie along the Kola Carbonatite Line (KCL) as defined by Kramm (1993) and data from the later group plot above the KCL. The evolution of the phoscorites and carbonatites cannot be explained by simple magmatic differentiation assuming closed system conditions. The Sr−Nd data can best be explained by the mixing of three components. Two of these are similar to the end-members that define the Kola Carbonatite Line and these were involved in the genesis of the early phoscorites and carbonatites. An additional component is needed to explain the isotopic characteristics of the later group. Our study shows that apatite from rocks of different mineralogy and age is ideal for placing constraints on mantle sources and for monitoring the Sr−Nd evolution of carbonatites.

Fluid-rock interaction during progressive migration of carbonatitic fluids, derived from small-scale trace element and Sr, Pb isotope distribution in hydrothermal fluorite

Associated with the Cretaceous Okorusu carbonatite complex (Namibia) is a hydrothermal fluorite mineralization hosted in Pan-African country rock marbles, which resulted from fluid-rock reaction between the marbles and orthomagmatic, carbonatitic fluids expelled from the carbonatite. Yellow fluorite I was deposited in veins up to 5 cm away from the wallrock contact, followed by purple and colorless fluorite II, smoky quartz and barite, a Mn-rich crust on early calcite, and pure calcite. This clear-cut sequence of mineral growth allows an investigation into fluid-rock interaction processes between the marble and the migrating carbonatitic fluid, and element fractionation patterns between the fluid and subsequent hydrothermal precipitates.Fluorite I shows a progressive change in color from dark yellow to colorless with purple laminations over time of deposition. Subsequent fluorite I precipitates show an increase in Ca, and a continuous decrease in F, Sr, REE, Y, Th, U and Pb contents. The ratios (Eu/Eu*)_cn, Th/Pb and U/Pb increase whereas Y/Ho, Th/U and (La/Yb)_cn decrease. The Sr-isotopic composition remains constant at ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.70456-0.70459, but with varying, highly radiogenic Pb (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 32-190, ²³⁸U/²⁰⁴Pb = 7-63). Fluorite II has ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.70454-0.70459, ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.349, and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.600, and a chemical composition similar to youngest fluorite I. The Mn-rich crust on early calcite accumulated REE, Ba, Pb, Zr, Cs, Th and U, developing into pure calcite with a prominent negative Ce anomaly and successively more radiogenic Sr. The calculated degrees of fluid-rock interaction, f = weight fraction of fluid/(fluid + marble), decrease from fluorite I and most fluorite II (f = 0.5) to calcite (f = 0.2-0.3) and hydrothermal quartz (f ? 0.1). A crush-leach experiment for fluid inclusions in the hydrothermal quartz yielded a Rb-Sr isochron age of 103 ± 12 Ma. Crush-leach analysis for the carbonatitic fluid trapped in the wallrock yielded a trend from the fluid leachate to the host quartz (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.224 and 18.602, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.616 and 15.636, respectively) extending from carbonatite towards crustal rocks.Calculated trace element distribution coefficients fluorite/fluid are below unity throughout, and increase from La to Yb. Elements largely excluded from fluorite (Ba, Pb, LREE relative to HREE) were incorporated later into the Mn-rich crust on calcite. The trace element patterns of the hydrothermal minerals are related to changing aCO₂ and aF⁻ in the fluid during continued fluid-marble reaction. A predominance of carbonate over fluoride complexing in the fluid as reactions proceeded controlled the Y/Ho, Th/U and REE patterns in the fluid and the crystallizing phases. Deviations from these trends indicate discontinuous processes of fluid-rock reaction.     

Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic compositions of the Kovdor phoscorite–carbonatite complex, Kola Peninsula, NW Russia

The Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic compositions for the Kovdor phoscorite–carbonatite complex (PCC), Kola Peninsula, NW Russia, have been determined to characterize the mantle sources involved and to evaluate the relative contributions of a plume and subcontinental lithospheric mantle in the formation of the complex. The Kovdor PCC is a part of the Kovdor ultramafic–alkaline–carbonatite massif, and consists of six intrusions. The initial isotopic ratios of the analyzed samples, calculated at 380 Ma, display limited variations: ε_Nd, + 2.0 to + 4.7; ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, 0.70319 to 0.70361 (ε_Sr, − 12.2 to − 6.2); ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, 18.38 to 18.74; ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, 15.45 to 15.50; ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, 37.98 to 39.28. The Nd and Sr isotope data of the Kovdor PCC generally fit the patterns of the other phoscorites and carbonatites from the Kola Alkaline Province (KAP), but some data are slightly shifted from the mixing line defined as the Kola Carbonatite Line, having more radiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios. However, the less radiogenic Nd isotopic compositions and negative Δ7/4 values of Pb isotopes of the analyzed samples exclude crustal contamination, but imply the involvement of a metasomatized lithospheric mantle source. Isotopic variations indicate mixing of at least three distinct mantle components: FOZO-like primitive plume component, EMI-like enriched component and DMM-like depleted component. The isotopic nature of the EMI- and DMM-like mantle component observed in the Kovdor samples is considered to be inherited from metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle. This supports the previous models invoking plume–lithosphere interaction to explain the origin of the Devonian alkaline carbonatite magmatism in the KAP.
