Petrogenesis of mid-Carboniferous volcanics and granitic intrusions from western Junggar Basin boreholes: geodynamic implications for the Central Asian Orogenic Belt in Northwest China

The western Junggar Basin is located on the southeastern margin of the West Junggar terrane, Northwest China. Its sedimentary fill, magma petrogenesis, tectonic setting, and formation ages are important for understanding the Carboniferous tectonic evolution and continental growth of the Junggar terrane and the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. This paper documents a set of new zircon secondary ion mass spectrometry U–Pb geochronological and Hf isotopic data and whole-rock elemental and Sr–Nd isotopic analytical results for the Carboniferous strata and associated intrusions obtained from boreholes in the western Junggar Basin. The Carboniferous strata comprise basaltic andesite, andesite, and dacite with minor pyroclastic rocks, intruded by granitic intrusions with zircon secondary ion mass spectrometry U–Pb ages of 327–324 Ma. The volcanic rocks are calc-alkaline and show low high ε_Nd(t) values (5.3–5.6) and initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.703561–0.703931), strong enrichment in LREEs, and some LILEs and depletion in Nb, Ta, and Ti. Furthermore, they also display high (La/Sm)_N (1.36–1.63), Zr/Nb, and La/Yb, variable Ba/La and Ba/Th and constant Th/Yb ratios. These geochemical data, together with low Sm/Yb (1.18–1.38) and La/Sm (2.11–2.53) ratios, suggest that these volcanic rocks were derived from a 5–8% partial melting of a mainly spinel Iherzolite-depleted mantle metasomatized by slab-derived fluids and melts of some sediments in an island-arc setting. In contrast, the granitic intrusions represent typical adakite geochemical features of high Sr and low Y and Yb contents, with no significant Eu anomalies, high Mg#, and depleted ε_Nd(t) (5.6–6.4) and ε_Hf(t) (13.7–16.2) isotopic compositions, suggesting their derivation from partial melting of hot subducted oceanic crust. In combination with the previous work, the West Junggar terrane and adjacent western Junggar Basin are interpreted as a Mariana-type arc system driven by northwestward subduction of the Junggar Ocean, possibly with a tectonic transition from normal to ridge subduction commencing ca. at 331–327 Ma.     

Geochemistry of the Yandal belt metavolcanic rocks,Eastern Goldfields Province,Western Australia

Archaean felsic metavolcanic rocks occur throughout the Yandal belt in the north of the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia where they are most abundant in the higher parts of the stratigraphy. With the exception of the Spring Well Sequence at the southern end of the belt, these rocks are typically dacites showing geochemical affinities with Archaean high‐Al trondhjemite‐tonalite‐dacite (TTD) suites. They have high Sr, Al₂O₃, and (La/Yb)_N; low Y, Nb, Zr and heavy rare‐earth elements (HREE); and lack a significant Eu anomaly. In contrast, broadly coeval mafic volcanic rocks have flat REE patterns and trace‐element compositions more typical of modern backarc basin basalts. The Spring Well Sequence is readily distinguished lithologically and geochemically from the remainder of the Yandal belt. Spring Well basaltic andesites are geochemically similar to modern calc‐alkaline arc magmas, i.e. negative Nb–Ta anomalies and enrichment of both large‐ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light rare‐earth elements (LREE). Andesites and rhyolites, both abundant in the Spring Well Sequence, have elevated LILE relative to high field strength elements, and moderate to strong negative Nb, Ta, Sr and Ti anomalies. Rhyolites have low Sr/Y and relatively flat REE patterns ((La/Yb)_N = 4.2–5.0). The chemistry and lithostratigraphic associations of the Yandal belt, with the exception of the Spring Well area, suggest a similarity with the Kalgoorlie Terrane, which is supported by published geochronological data. In contrast, the abundance of rhyolite, distinctive calc‐alkaline chemistry and ca2690 Ma age of the Spring Well Sequence suggests a possible association with ca2692 Ma bimodal calc‐alkaline arc‐rift sequence at Teutonic Bore and similar rocks at Melita and Jeedamya, 150 km south of Spring Well. The abundance of TTD dacite and tholeiitic basalt throughout the Yandal belt suggests magma generation from both decompression partial melting of mantle peridotite to produce backarc tholeiitic magma, and partial melting of subducted oceanic lithosphere to produce high‐Al dacite‐tonalite magma. Based on field relationships of the lithological associations, spatial geochemical patterns and published geochronological data, a shallow, west‐dipping subduction model is postulated for the Yandal belt. In this model, widespread tholeiitic basalt and TTD dacite volcanic sequences are thought to have formed in a backarc basin west of a predominantly submerged continental margin volcanic arc. The dominance of dacite in the upper stratigraphy of the Yandal belt could indicate the development of a secondary volcanic ridge or arc in this basin. The Spring Well Sequence is interpreted to occupy the northern preserved portion of the primary arc, remnants of which now extend south through Teutonic Bore to the Melita and Jeedamya volcanic centres. South of Spring Well, volcanic sequences become distinctly bimodal with basalt and high silica rhyolite suggesting an increasing influence of arc extension toward the south.     

REE Geochemical Characteristics of Volcanic Rocks in Zhejiang and Jiangxi Provinces and Their Gological Significance

Based on the data of 64 samples ,the REE geochemical characteristics of volcanic rocks in northern Zhejiang and eastern Jiangxi provinces are discussed in this paper.The REE distribution patterns in acid and intermediate-acid volcanic rocks in these areas display some similarities,as indicated by rightward-inclined V-shaped curves with negative Eu anomalies,which are parallel to earch other.In addi-tion,their REE parameters(ΣREE,ΣLREE/ΣHREE,δEu,Ce/Yb,La/Sm,La/Yb,etc)also va-ry over a narrow range with small deviations.HREE are particularly concentrated in the volcanic rocks as-sociated with uranium mineralization.The initial ^87Sr/^86Sr ratio in the volcanic rocks is about 0.7056-0.7139.All these features in conjunction with strontium isotopic data indicate that the rock-forming materials come from the sialic crust.The REE distribution patterns and REE geochemical parameters of the volcanic rocks ,as well as La/Sm-La and Ce/Yb-Eu/Yb diagrams may be applied to the sources of rock-forming and ore-forming materials.     

Chronological and Geochemical Characterisitics of Volcanic Rocks of the Yingcheng Formation in the Southern Songliao Basin: Constraints on the Early Cretaceous Evolution of the Songliao Basin

The discoveries of oil and gas reservoirs in the volcanic rocks of the Songliao Basin(SB) have attracted the attention of many researchers. However, the lack of studies on the genesis of the volcanic rocks has led to different opinions being presented for the genesis of the SB. In order to solve this problem, this study selected the volcanic rocks of the Yingcheng Formation in the Southern Songliao Basin(SSB) as the research object, and determined the genesis and tectonic setting of the volcanic rocks by using LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating and a geochemical analysis method(major elements, trace elements, and Hf isotopes). The volcanic rocks of the Yingcheng Formation are mainly composed of rhyolites with minor dacites and pyroclastic rocks. Our new zircon U-Pb dating results show that these volcanic rocks were erupted in the Early Cretaceous(113–118 Ma). The primary zircons from the rhyolites have εHf(t) values of +4.70 to +12.46 and twostage model age(TDM2) of 876–374 Ma. The geochemical data presented in this study allow these rhyolites to be divided into I-type rhyolites and A-type rhyolites, both of which were formed by the partial melting of the crust. They have SiO2 contents of 71.62 wt.%–75.76 wt.% and Al2 O3 contentsof 10.88 wt.% to 12.92 wt.%. The rhyolites have distinctively higher REE contents than those of ordinary granites, with obvious negative Eu anomalies. The light to heavy REE fractionation is not obvious, and the LaN/YbN(average value = 9.78) is less than 10. The A-type rhyolites depleted in Ba, Sr, P, and Ti, with relatively low Nb/Ta, indicating that the rocks belong A2 subtype granites formed in an extensional environment. The adakitic dacites are characterized by high Sr contents(624 to 1,082 ppm), low Y contents(10.6 to 12.6 ppm), high Sr/Y and Sr/Yb ratios, and low Mg# values(14.77 to 36.46), indicating that they belong to "C" type adakites. The adakitic dacite with high Sr and low Yb were likely generated by partial melting of the lower crust under high pressure conditions at least 40 km depth. The I-type rhyolites with low Sr and high Yb, and the A-type rhyolites with very low Sr and high Yb, were formed in the middle and upper crust under low pressure conditions, respectively. In addition, the formation depths of the former were approximately 30 km, whereas those of the latter were less than 30 km. The geochemical characteristics reveal that the volcanic rocks of Yingcheng Formation were formed in an extensional environment which was related to the retreat of subducted Paleo-Pacific Plate. At the late Early Cretaceous Period, the upwelling of the asthenosphere mantle and the lithosphere delamination caused by the retreat of the subducted Paleo-Pacific Plate, had resulted in lithosheric extension in the eastern part of China. Subsequently, a large area of volcanic rocks had formed. The SB has also been confirmed to be a product of the tectonic stress field in that region.     

Triassic magmatism in the eastern part of the South China Block: Geochronological and petrogenetic constraints from Indosinian granites

The granitic dykes in the Badu Group,Zhejiang Province,South China provide important insights on tectonic setting and crustal evolution of the South China Block(SCB) and the Indochina Block during Triassic.Here we report LA-ICP-MS U-Pb data of granitic rocks from the Hucun and Kengkou which show early Triassic ages of 242 ± 2 and 232 ± 3 Ma,respectively,representing their timing of emplacement.The dyke rocks are enriched in K,Al,LREE,Rb,Th.U,and Pb.and are depleted in Nb,Ta,Sr,and Ti.The rocks are characterized by highly fractionated REE patterns with(La/Yb)N ratios of 28.46-38.07 with strong negative Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu* = 0.65-0.73).In situ Hf isotopic analyses of zircons from the Hucun granite yielded ε_(Hf)(t) values of-13.9 to-6.4 and two-stage depleted mantle Hf model ages of 1.68-2.15 Ga,which indicate that the magma was formed by partial melting of the Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary protoliths in the Cathaysia Block.The zircons from the Kengkou granite have ε_(Hf)(t) values ranging from 40.7 to 31.5 and yield two-stage depleted mantle Hf model ages of 0.99-2.49 Ga,indicating magma origin from a mixed source.The Hucun and Kengkou dykes,together with the Triassic A-type granites in SE China were probably generated during magmatism associated with crust-mantle decoupling along the convergent plate boundary between SCB and the Indochina Block.

新疆伊宁地块晚泥盆世火山岩的确认及其地质意义

最新发现的泥盆纪火山岩位于西天山伊犁地块北缘,主要岩石组成为流纹岩,英安岩夹少量安山岩。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果显示,尼勒克北流纹岩类的形成时代一致,分别为369.7±4.9Ma,363.4±2.5Ma,均为晚泥盆世。岩石SiO₂含量较高且变化范围较宽,Al₂O₃含量较高,富碱,贫镁和钙,高FeO^T/MgO+FeO^T比值,低TiO₂,里特曼指数δ较小(1.09~2.88),A/CNK值变化较大(0.8~1.46),属于钙碱性过铝-准铝质低钛流纹岩类。稀土元素总量(∑REE)变化较大(80.66×10^-6~241.8×10^-6),稀土配分模式为轻稀土富集右倾((La/Yb)_N=5.96~7.82),铕负异常明显(Eu/Eu^*=0.47~0.86),相对富集Rb、Th、K等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素,较高的Rb/Sr、Nb/Ta和Th/Ta比值(分别为0.18~5.15,11.18~13.96,3.54~9.5),较低的Ti/Zr、Ti/Y及Ta/Yb比值(分别为4.95~25.79,43.7~295.5,0.45~1.29),这些地球化学特征表明其可能为上地壳部分熔融的产物,源区残留物组成可能为斜长石和角闪石,同时显示其具有大陆边缘弧亲缘性,这与西天山在早石炭世处于岛弧环境相匹配,即在晚泥盆世-早石炭世期间,准噶尔洋向伊犁-中天山地块之下发生俯冲,形成了伊犁地块北缘的大陆边缘弧岩浆带。尼勒克北晚泥盆世流纹岩类成岩时代的确定及构造环境分析为进一步认识伊犁地块北缘地区的构造演化提供了新的证据。     

苏门答腊岛苏利特河—苏里安铜成矿带埃达克质侵入岩和矽卡岩地球化学特征及成因意义

本文旨在通过分析苏门答腊岛苏里安斑岩型铜矿至苏利特河矽卡岩型铜矿成矿带中埃达克质侵入岩及矽卡岩的岩石学和地球化学特征,探讨其成因意义。该成矿带是巴东地区辛卡拉克湖以东地球化学异常带的主体部分,其绝大多数侵入岩浆体皆为为Ⅰ-型花岗岩复合体,相当于印支晚期同碰撞火山弧和燕山早期碰撞后岩浆侵入活动的产物。该成矿带内的埃达克质花岗岩和闪长斑岩(早侏罗世和早白垩世)具有低的Y、Yb含量、高的ΣREE含量和Eu正异常,在构造环境判别图上落在活动大陆边缘(ACM)火山弧环境中。埃达克质岩浆来源于俯冲洋壳板片部分熔融。然而,矽卡岩主量元素与岩浆岩侵入体相比,其CaO含量增多,SiO2、Al2O3、K2O以及Na2O含量降,REE普遍表现为Eu负异常。该成矿带内矿化矽卡岩与侵入岩的微量元素模式在蛛网图上显示某些相似性,但是二者的REE配分模式却不尽相同。矽卡岩的微量元素和稀土元素具有低Rb、Ba含量和K、Sr、P、Ti低谷,主要继承了原始岩浆和母岩埃达克质岩的共同特征。矽卡岩化是引起Ti、Yb、Y和REE总量降低的主导控制作用。

Trace element and isotopic variations in a zoned pluton and associated volcanic rocks,Unalaska Island,Alaska: A model for fractionation in the Aleutian calcalkaline suite

Trace elements, including rare earth elements (REE), exhibit systematic variations in plutonic rocks from the Captains Bay pluton which is zoned from a narrow gabbroic rim to a core of quartz monzodiorite and granodiorite. The chemical variations parallel those in the associated Aleutian calcalkaline volcanic suite. Concentrations of Rb, Y, Zr and Ba increase as Sr and Ti decrease with progressive differentiation. Intermediate plutonic rocks are slightly enriched in light REE (La/Yb=3.45–9.22), and show increasing light REE fractionation and negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu^*=1.03–0.584). Two border-zone gabbros have similar REE patterns but are relatively depleted in total REE and have positive Eu anomalies; indicative of their cumulate nature. Initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios in 8 samples (0.70299 to 0.70377) are comparable to those of volcanic rocks throughout the arc and suggest a mantle source for the magmas. Oxygen isotopic ratios indicate that many of the intermediate plutonic rocks have undergone oxygen isotopic exchange with large volumes of meteoric water during the late stages of crystallization; however no trace element or Sr isotopic alteration is evident.Major and trace element variations are consistent with a model of inward fractional crystallization of a parental high-alumina basaltic magma at low pressures (6 kb). Least-squares approximations and trace element fractionation calculations suggest that differentiation in the plutonic suite was initially controlled by the removal of calcic plagioclase, lesser pyroxene, olivine and Fe-Ti oxides but that with increasing differentiation and water fugacity the removal of sub-equal amounts of sodic plagioclase and hornblende with lesser Fe-Ti oxides effectively drove residual liquids toward dacitic compositions. Major and trace element compositions of aplites which intrude the pluton are not adequately explained by fractional crystallization. They may represent partial melts derived from the island arc crust. Similarities in Sr isotopes, chemical compositions and differentiation trends between the plutonic series and some Aleutian volcanic suites indicates that shallow-level fractional crystallization is a viable mechanism for generating the Aleutian calcalkaline rock series.LDGO Contribution no. 2964     

小兴安岭西北部与永新金矿有关岩浆岩的年代学和地球化学及成矿构造环境

Geochemistry and Zircon U–Pb–Hf Isotopic Systematics of the Sanchahe Quartz Monzonite Intrusion in the North Qinling Tectonic Zone,Central China： Implications for its Petrogenesis and Tectonic Setting

The Sanchahe quartz monzonite intrusion is situated in the middle segment of the North Qinling tectonic belt, Central China mainland, and consists chiefly of sanukitoid–like and granodioritic-monzogranitic rocks. The sanukitoid–like rocks are characterized by quartz monzonites, which display higher Mg#（55.0–59.0）, and enrichments in Na2 O＋K2 O（7.28–8.94 %）, Ni（21-2312 ppm）, Cr（56-4167 ppm）, Sr（553-923 ppm）, Ba（912-1355 ppm） and LREE（（La/Yb）N =9.47–15.3）, from negative to slightly positive Eu anomalies（δEu=＋0.61 to ＋1.10）, but also depletion in Nb, Ta and Ti. The granodioritic-monzogranitic rocks diaplay various Mg#of 6.00-53.0, high Na2 O＋K2 O（7.20– 8.30%）, Sr（455–1081 ppm） and（La/Yb）N（27.6–47.8）, with positive Eu anomalies（δEu=1.03–1.57） and depleted Nb, Ta and Ti. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry（LA-ICPMS） zircon U-Pb isotopic dating reveals that the sanukitoid-like rocks were emplaced at two episodes of magmatism at 457±3 Ma and 431±2 Ma, respectively. The monzogranites were emplaced at 445±7Ma. Sanukitoid–like rocks have their εHf（t） values ranging from ＋0.3 to ＋15.1 with Hf–depleted mantle model ages of 445 to 1056 Ma, and the monzogranite shows its εHf（t） values ranging from 21.6 to ＋10.8 with Hf–depleted mantle model ages of 635 to 3183 Ma. Petrological, geochemical and zircon Lu –Hf isotopic features indicate that the magmatic precursor of sanukitoid–like rocks was derived from partial melting of the depleted mantle wedge materials that were metasomatized by fluids and melts related to subduction of oceanic slab, subsequently the sanukitoid magma ascended to crust level. This emplaced mantle magma caused partial melting of crustally metamorphosed sedimentary rocks, and mixing with the crustal magma, and suffered fractional crystallization, which lead to formations of quartz monzonites. However, the magmatic precursor of the granodioritic-monzogranitic rocks were derived from partial melting of subducted oceanic slab basalts. Integrated previous investigation for the adackitic rocks in the south of the intrusion, the Sanchahe intrusion signed that the North Qinling tectonic zone was developed in an early Paleozoic transitionally tectonic background from an island arc to back–arc.     

Petrogenesis and tectonic implications of early Carboniferous alkaline volcanic rocks in Karamay region of West Junggar,Northwest China

ABSTRACT

Zircon U–Pb geochronological and geochemical analyses are reported for a suite of the early Carboniferous volcanic rocks from West Junggar (Northwest China), southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), with the aim to investigate the sources, petrogenesis, and tectonic implications. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb analysis from an andesite yielded concordant weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 345 ± 3 Ma, indicating the presence of early Carboniferous volcanic rocks in West Junggar. The early Carboniferous volcanic rocks consist of basalt, basaltic andesite, and andesite. Geochemically, all the samples bear the signature of ocean island basalt (OIB), and are characterized by alkaline affinity with minor variations in SiO₂ compositions (45.13–53.05 wt.%), high concentrations of Na₂O + K₂O (5.08–8.89 wt.%) and TiO₂ (1.71–3.35 wt.%), and LREE enrichment and HREE depletion ((La/Yb)_N = 7.1–12.4), with weak Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.9–1.1) and no obvious Nb, Ta, and Ti negative anomalies. These features suggest that the early Carboniferous volcanic rocks were derived from an OIB-related source that consists of oceanic lithosphere with ~1–3% degree partial melting of garnet lherzolite. From these observations, in combination with previous work, we conclude that the early Carboniferous alkaline volcanic rocks in Karamay region formed by upwelling of asthenospheric mantle through a slab window in a forearc setting during consumption of the West Junggar Ocean. Meanwhile, seamounts, which formed in the Late Devonian and were accreted and subducted in Karamay arc, also brought geological effects in the subduction zone.

四棵树岩体位于北天山缝合带中,是侵入依连哈比尔尕岛弧带中最大的一个花岗岩体,具有"钉合岩体"的构造意义。组成该岩体的岩石类型较多,大体上可分为3个侵入期次,依次为石英闪长岩和花岗闪长岩、二长花岗岩和钾长花岗岩、花岗斑岩;其中第二侵入期次构成了该岩体的主体。岩石SiO2含量为57.85%~74.28%,K2O含量为1.95%~5.25%,Na2O含量为3.00%~4.50%,整体表现为高K、Ca碱性特征。∑REE=113.91×10-6~169.47×10-6,(La/Sm)N为1.77~3.16,(Gd/Yb)N为1.33~2.12,(La/Yb)N为3.41~5.64,δEu为0.37~0.82,表现为轻稀土元素富集的右倾型特征;岩石具有Nb、Ta、Eu的亏损以及Th、Zr、Hf相对富集。通过形成环境判别,第一期石英闪长岩和花岗闪长岩大部投在火山弧环境,板块碰撞前—后碰撞隆起阶段;第二期二长花岗岩和钾长花岗岩大部投在后碰撞阶段;第三期花岗斑岩主要投在晚造山阶段。通过LA-ICP-MS对该岩体中石英闪长岩、二长花岗岩和钾长花岗岩进行较为系统的锆石U-Pb测年,得出其加权平均年龄分别为(324.1±4.3)Ma、(314.9±4.1)Ma、(311.5±3.9)Ma。结合前人得出的巴音沟蛇绿岩中辉长岩的(344±3.4)Ma年龄,可初步得出北天山缝合带的形成时代应该为344~311.5Ma,碰撞造山作用主要发生在324~311Ma,随后进入后碰撞伸展阶段,而四棵树岩体3期侵入岩可能分别代表了北天山造山带俯冲汇聚-碰撞-陆内造山各阶段构造-岩浆作用的产物。     

长白山新生代火山岩之下新太古代基底年代学及地球化学特征

对长白山第四系玄武岩覆盖区零星出露的花岗质岩石和片麻岩进行LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb年龄测定及地球化学分析,结果显示花岗质岩石的年龄为2 509~2 558 Ma;斜长角闪片麻岩的年龄为2 475~2 553 Ma。地球化学特征上,这些岩石均属奥长花岗岩-英云闪长岩-石英闪长岩系列(TTG),稀土元素配分模式图呈右倾型,轻重稀土元素分馏明显(LREE/HREE=3.85~34.48),白云母二长花岗岩具有铕的负异常(δEu=0.41~0.54),富集Rb、K、Th等元素,亏损Nb、Sr、P、Ti等元素;黑云斜长角闪石片麻岩具有铕负异常(δEu=0.67~0.76),富集Rb、K、La、Nd等元素,亏损Th、Nb、Sr、P、Yb等元素;花岗质片麻岩和黑云斜长片麻岩具有铕的弱负-正异常(δEu=0.87~3.3),富集Rb、K、Sr等元素,亏损Nb、Th、P等元素。年代学和地球化学特征与白山地块和和龙地块中的同类岩石基本一致,表明白山地块与和龙地块在晚太古代是同一个陆块(龙岗陆块),二者目前的分布格局是后期北东向左行断裂构造改造的结果。     

东天山阿奇山-雅满苏构造带小东山火山岩的成因和意义:年代学、主微量元素及Sr-Nd-Hf同位素地球化学约束

阿奇山-雅满苏构造带是东天山造山带的重要组成部分,其大地构造属性至今仍存在争议.小东山火山岩出露于阿奇山-雅满苏构造带的西段,包括基性到酸性系列火山岩,是认识阿奇山-雅满苏构造带属性和演化的有效“岩石探针”.本次工作对其开展了系统的岩石学、锆石U-Pb年代学、元素和同位素地球化学研究.研究结果表明,小东山火山岩主要由花岗斑岩、英安斑岩、安山岩、玄武岩以及橄榄玄武岩组成,元素协变关系指示该套火山岩系列属于同源岩浆的演化产物.锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年结果显示,小东山火山岩年龄为318~308 Ma,形成于晚石炭世.该套火山岩SiO₂含量变化范围较大（48.10%~76.82%）,Al₂O₃含量整体较低且变化范围较小.从基性岩到酸性岩,稀土总量逐渐增加,Eu/Eu*值逐渐降低.中酸性火山岩大离子亲石元素Rb、K、Pb、Sr等相对富集,高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti、P、Th等强烈亏损.而基性火山岩主要表现为Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf、Ti负异常,K、Pb、P正异常.所有火山岩均以低（87Sr/86Sr）_i（0.704 50~0.707 14）、高ε_Nd（t）（+3.16~+5.71）以及高ε_Hf值（+5.45~+12.18）为特征.上述元素和同位素地球化学特征指示了小东山火山岩形成于岛弧构造环境,起源于交代地幔楔的部分熔融并经过了结晶分异作用.结合前人对区域构造-岩浆活动的认识,本文认为小东山火山岩所在的阿奇山-雅满苏岛弧带是在石炭纪古天山洋向南俯冲过程中形成.      

新疆昭苏卡拉盖雷铜(金)矿床酸性火山岩锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学及其地质意义

新疆昭苏卡拉盖雷铜(金)矿床位于中天山北缘构造带西段,矿区主要出露一套基性、中-酸性的亚碱性火山岩。本次研究对其中的流纹岩、安山岩、霏细岩等酸性火山岩的锆石U-Pb测年结果为451~437Ma(前人对研究区的地质调查显示火山岩归属下石炭统大哈拉军山组),为晚奥陶世。地球化学测试结果显示主要呈高钾(2.26%~9.27%)、高铝(11.77%~16.66%)及亚碱性的特征,稀土元素中Eu呈现不同程度的负异常且轻稀土相对富集,微量元素特征显示主要富集Ba、Tu、U等大离子亲石元素,亏损Ta、Nb、Sr等元素。综合分析认为岩石具有大陆岛弧性质,岩浆主要经历了结晶分异作用,可能形成于造山后期的伸展背景下。     

华南东部陆缘侏罗纪岩浆作用特征及其构造背景——来自浙东南毛弄组火山岩的新证据

华南东部内陆地区在侏罗纪处于陆内伸展背景已逐渐成为学术界共识,但对于该时期东部陆缘的构造环境仍存在争议。本文以浙东南毛弄组火山岩为对象,开展了岩石学、SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学、锆石微量元素、全岩元素地球化学和Sr-Nd同位素等研究,为认识华南东部陆缘构造背景提供制约。浙江侏罗纪火山岩以松阳毛弄剖面较具代表性,总体上是一套以英安质晶屑凝灰岩和流纹质玻屑凝灰岩为主的火山岩组合。本次研究在毛弄组下段获得的流纹质玻屑凝灰岩的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为153±2Ma。综合前人研究表明,毛弄组火山岩主要形成于180～148Ma。毛弄组火山岩属于镁质钙碱性系列,且表现出明显的轻稀土元素富集特征,其中早侏罗世毛弄英安质凝灰岩Eu负异常不明显,而晚侏罗世毛弄流纹质凝灰岩具有显著的Eu负异常;两组凝灰岩均富集K、Rb和Th等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Zr和Hf等高场强元素。毛弄英安质火山岩的源区残留相组合可能为"斜长石+石榴石+角闪石",而毛弄流纹质凝灰岩则可能为"斜长石+角闪石",这一差异可能代表它们具有不同的源区深度。毛弄组火山岩的Sr-Nd-Hf同位素特征与华夏陆块古元古代基底岩体相似,其可能主要起源于基底地壳物质的部分熔融,并有少量地幔新生物质的加入。结合构造背景分析认为,毛弄组火山岩等陆缘岩浆岩形成环境为相对低温的"安第斯型"俯冲环境。通过不同时代区域岩体锆石氧逸度计算发现,早侏罗世东南海域岩浆岩的氧逸度比大陆陆缘更高,且大陆陆缘岩浆岩的氧逸度从晚三叠世至晚侏罗世不断升高,可能标志着陆缘地区俯冲流体的影响有着从东南海域向大陆陆缘扩散的趋势。综合分析认为,在侏罗纪华南东部陆缘可能发育一个与古太平洋俯冲有关的"安第斯型"陆缘岩浆弧,其时代可能最早可以追溯到早侏罗世早期,并持续扩大到中-晚侏罗世。这一时期浙闽沿海地区总体处于弧后挤压主导的构造环境,与同期内陆地区构造伸展背景形成鲜明对比。
