柴北缘欧龙布鲁克地块东段古元古代基性麻粒岩:岩石学、锆石U-Pb年代学和Lu-Hf同位素证据

在欧龙布鲁克地块东部地区的正片麻岩中识别出呈透镜状产出的基性麻粒岩,部分已转变为斜长角闪岩。其主要矿物组合为单斜辉石、斜方辉石、斜长石、角闪石等,为典型中低压麻粒岩相组合。锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年得到基性麻粒岩1928±9Ma的变质年龄,片麻岩围岩得到了1927±20Ma的变质年龄,以及2368±5Ma、2377±7Ma的岩浆结晶年龄。片麻岩锆石Hf同位素数据显示变质锆石及岩浆锆石均具有相似的Hf同位素成分,其二阶段模式年龄为2590~2830Ma,显示其可能源于太古代地壳物质的再造。欧龙布鲁克地块古元古代岩浆及变质演化历史与塔里木克拉通及华北克拉通很高的相似性,预示着在古元古代三者可能具有一定的亲缘性。     

南阿尔金吐拉地区中压基性麻粒岩变质作用及地质意义

南阿尔金吐拉地区基性麻粒岩呈透镜体分布于泥质片麻岩中。基性麻粒岩主要矿物组成为石榴子石、斜方辉石、单斜辉石、角闪石、黑云母和斜长石,显示"巴罗式"变质作用(中压麻粒岩相变质作用)特征。目前南阿尔金吐拉地区发育的"巴罗式"变质岩研究相对薄弱,对岩石学特征、变质演化轨迹及"巴罗式"变质作用成因机制亦不明确。传统矿物温压计指示基性麻粒岩的峰期变质温压条件为T=820℃～870℃,P=8.0～8.5 kPa,退变质阶段温压T=700℃～750℃,P=6～7.5 k Pa,为一个降温降压顺时针型的P-T演化轨迹。锆石U-Pb定年加权平均年龄为～450Ma,结合岩相学研究和锆石特征,认为其代表了峰期麻粒岩相变质时代。基性麻粒岩与区域上深熔作用和花岗质岩浆作用变质年龄相似,较南阿尔金UHP榴辉岩和HP麻粒岩的峰期变质时代晚40～50 Ma,与榴辉岩折返过程中麻粒岩相叠加变质作用时代较相似。说明吐拉地区"巴罗式"变质作用及同时代花岗质岩浆作用和混合岩化作用可能是由于俯冲陆壳发生断离并开始折返上升,在伸展环境下由幔源岩浆上涌加热中地壳形成的。     

柴北缘都兰高压麻粒岩的锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

在柴北缘高压-超高压变质带的东端都兰地区,高压麻粒岩以透镜体的形式存在于石榴白云母片岩、花岗质片麻岩以及斜长角闪岩中。高压麻粒岩的主体为基性麻粒岩,并含少量中酸性麻粒岩。基性麻粒岩主要由石榴子石、单斜辉石、斜长石和石英等组成,而中酸性麻粒岩峰期矿物组合为:石榴子石+斜长石+钾长石+蓝晶石+石英±单斜辉石。根据显微构造和反应结构特征,主要识别出3期变质作用:①峰期高压麻粒岩相阶段(M1);②退变质高角闪岩相阶段(M2);③绿片岩相/低角闪岩相阶段(M3)。选取典型的中酸性麻粒岩样品进行了锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb原位定年分析,获得加权平均年龄为446.9±6.5Ma,且CL图像显示锆石内部发育石榴子石、单斜辉石、斜长石等矿物包体,反映锆石可能形成在峰期高压麻粒岩相变质条件下。岩石学和年代学结果显示都兰高压麻粒岩和邻近的榴辉岩同时形成于同一俯冲带的不同热构造环境,高压麻粒岩并非榴辉岩热松弛作用形成的,两者具有各自独立的变质演化历史。     

冀北滦平—承德一带晚太古代高压麻粒岩的发现及其构造地质意义

在冀北地区原太古代＂单塔子群＂内多处发现了高压基性麻粒岩构造岩片或透镜体,围岩为花岗片麻岩类,在区域上呈构造带出现。高压基性麻粒岩早期矿物组合为单斜辉石＋石榴石＋石英,退变组合为斜方辉石＋斜长石＋单斜辉石及更晚期的角闪石＋斜长石,明显经历了快速的抬升过程。上述高压麻粒岩在区域上可能对应于晋北－冀西北的高压麻粒岩带,代表克拉通基底的重要构造边界,对于认识区域早前寒武纪构造演化及深部地质作用过程将产生重要影响。     

高压麻粒岩相变质作用及深熔作用:以柴北缘都兰地区为例

在一些俯冲/碰撞造山带中,高压麻粒岩相变质作用通常伴随着广泛的深熔作用。本文以柴北缘超高压变质带都兰地区的基性高压麻粒岩和浅色体为研究对象,在详细的野外观察的基础上,结合岩相学和年代学等研究方法,探讨高压麻粒岩相变质作用与深熔作用的关系及形成机制。从野外关系来看,浅色体主要呈层状、似脉状、补丁状或网络状分布在暗色的基性高压麻粒岩(残留体,residuumormelanosome)中,或与基性高压麻粒岩在露头上互层产出,并显示出混合岩的特征。基性高压麻粒岩主要由石榴子石、单斜辉石、斜长石和石英等矿物组成,在不同样品中还可含有少量蓝晶石、角闪石、金红石、黝帘石/斜黝帘石、黑云母、方柱石、绿泥石;浅色体主要由斜长石、钾长石和石英等矿物组成,一些样品中也含有少量的石榴子石和蓝晶石,与典型的长英质高压麻粒岩的矿物组合特征较为相似。锆石成因年代学结果显示浅色体中既发育深熔锆石,也有变质锆石生长,但两种锆石给出的年龄结果基本一致,其加权平均年龄为434±2Ma(MSWD=1.1),与前人获得的高压麻粒岩相变质作用和深熔作用时代基本一致。因此,综合野外关系、岩相学、地球化学特征及年代学结果,我们推测高压麻粒岩相变质作用及深熔作用可能形成于同一动力学过程,即在俯冲带的上盘环境,(变)基性岩石中的含水矿物(如角闪石、帘石或云母类矿物等)脱水熔融形成高Sr/Y熔体,而基性高压麻粒岩为残留体。     

新疆北山盐滩断裂南一带高级变质岩系的发现、地质热力学特征及其大地构造意义

新疆北山盐滩断裂南一带从原划奥陶-志留系地层中解体出古老的角闪岩相-麻粒岩相变质岩和变质侵入岩体,主要岩性为黑云母斜长片麻岩、条带状混合岩、斜长角闪岩、及少量变粒岩、麻粒岩等。其中首次发现了代表中、下地壳深变质作用的中-高压基性麻粒岩。详细的野外调查、岩相学及矿物学研究表明,该基性麻粒岩主要由透辉石、紫苏辉石、褐色普通角闪石及拉长石组成。其演化经历了由麻粒岩相岩石经退变质反应而成为角闪岩相变质岩的过程。研究表明,该区麻粒岩中的单斜辉石及角闪石矿物学成因均属于变质成因,其中单斜辉石形成环境为高压型,而角闪石形成环境为中低压环境。麻粒岩相变质岩形成于约1.25GPa(42km埋深)以下的中高压-高压环境,其形成温度约841℃;而退变质作用下的角闪岩相变质岩应形成于650~657℃的温度范围之内,压力为0.460~0.495GPa之间,相应的代表埋深约为16.5km的中低压型环境。该区高级变质岩及其基性麻粒岩的发现,将对该区地壳成分、麻粒岩的成因与变质作用以及所处的大地构造背景演化等研究无疑将起到非常重要的作用。     

柴北缘绿梁山高压基性麻粒岩的变质演化历史：岩石学及锆石SHRIMP年代学证据

高压基性麻粒岩出露在柴北缘HP/UHP变质带的绿梁山地区,它主要呈透镜体状分布在石榴蓝晶(夕线)黑云片麻岩中。岩石学和矿物学数据显示高压基性麻粒岩经历了多阶段变质历史,早期可能经历了榴辉岩相变质作用(p>15kbar),以石榴子石中保留的少量绿辉石为特征;高压麻粒岩组合(Grt-Cpx-Pl-Qtz±Amp±Rt-Ilm)为退变质作用产物,其形成的变质条件为p=9.6~13.5kbar,T=730~870℃。晚期的变质反应以围绕石榴子石和后成合晶生成斜方辉石的为特征,形成的p-T条件为6.2~8.5kbar和720~860℃。高压基性麻粒岩中的锆石SHRIMP测定共获得两组年龄,分别为(448±3)Ma和(421±5)Ma。结合锆石阴极发光和矿物包体研究,前者代表高压麻粒岩阶段的变质年龄,后者代表晚期与斜方辉石形成有关的中低压麻粒岩阶段的变质年龄。这些年龄结果显示麻粒岩相变质作用持续了大约27Ma,这可能与早古生代祁连地块与柴达木地块碰撞作用所引起的地壳加厚和后来的热松驰有关。     

华北克拉通孔兹岩带中段大青山-乌拉山变质杂岩立甲子基性麻粒岩年代学及地球化学研究

大青山-乌拉山变质杂岩立甲子基性麻粒岩主要由角闪二辉麻粒岩、含榴角闪二辉麻粒岩和黑云角闪二辉麻粒岩所组成,并以变形岩墙和不规则透镜体形式赋存于富铝片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩之中.立甲子基性麻粒岩中变质锆石含有单斜辉石(Cpx)+角闪石(Amp)+斜长石(Pl)+磷灰石(Ap)的包体矿物,与寄主岩石——基性麻粒岩矿物组合及其化学成分十分一致,相应的207 pb/206 Pb表面年龄变化于1933±39Ma ～ 1834±40Ma,加权平均年龄为1892±7Ma(MSWD =0.50,n=46),应代表立甲子基性麻粒岩原岩经历中低压麻粒岩相的变质时代.在变质过程中,以大离子亲石元素(K、Na、Sr、Rb)为代表的活动元素发生了显著的改变;而高场强元素(Nb、Zr、Ti)和稀土元素基本无变化,保持稳定.立甲子基性麻粒岩原岩属于拉斑玄武质岩石系列,其SiO2集中变化于45.58％ ～51.40％,Mg#值集中介于41 ～54之间;在球粒陨石标准化稀土配分图中,立甲子基性麻粒岩具有平坦型的稀土配分曲线特征((La/Yb)cN=1.30～1.51),Eu异常不明显(Eu/Eu*=0.93～1.04).与显生宙岛孤拉斑玄武岩类似,立甲子基性麻粒岩所有样品皆具有Nb、Zr、Ti负异常特征.综合分析认为,立甲子基性麻粒岩原岩形成于2450～1930Ma,并于～1900Ma经历中低压麻粒岩相变质作用的改造,其主量元素和微量元素组成具有岛弧拉斑玄武质岩石的地球化学特征,其原岩可能是板块汇聚动力学背景下,岛弧构造环境中形成的辉长岩或辉绿岩.     

柴北缘都兰高压麻粒岩的变质演化及形成的动力学背景

在柴北缘-阿尔金HP/UHP变质带东端,新识别出一个高压麻粒岩单元.高压基性麻粒岩是高压麻粒岩单元的主体,还包括少量高压中酸性麻粒岩.高压基性麻粒岩主要由平衡共生的石榴子石、单斜辉石、斜长石组成,还含有不等量的蓝晶石、角闪石、石英、金红石、黝帘石/斜黝帘石、钛铁矿、方柱石等矿物.高压长英质麻粒岩主要包括石榴子石、蓝晶石、钾长石、斜长石、石英等矿物,并具有少量的单斜辉石和角闪石.岩石学和矿物学数据显示高压麻粒岩经历了多阶段的变质演化,温压计算获得峰期高压麻粒岩相的变质条件为1.40～1.85GPa和800～925℃.退变质高角闪岩相的变质条件为P=0.80～1.05GPa和T=580～695℃：进一步的退变质作用发生在低角闪岩相/绿片岩相条件下(<0.8GPa和<550℃).岩石学、矿物学及年代学资料研究表明都兰地区的高压麻粒岩具有与相邻榴辉岩不同的变质演化历史,而不是榴辉岩在抬升过程中热松弛作用所致.高压麻粒岩可能形成于与陆壳俯冲相关的造山带增厚的陆壳根部环境,形成的深度为50～70km.     

东南极格罗夫山泛非期麻粒岩相变质作用

东南极格罗夫山主要由麻粒岩相高级变质岩和花岗岩类组成，其中变质岩以浅色和暗色含斜方辉石长英质片麻岩占主导地位，夹有少量镁铁质麻粒岩、变沉积岩和含方柱石钙硅酸盐岩。这些岩石一般都展示了平衡的矿物共生结构，但在镁铁质麻粒岩的单斜辉石中普遍发育斜方辉石(易变辉石)的出溶片晶。根据出溶辉石的重组分析获得麻粒岩相变质作用的峰期温度约为850℃，而浅色片麻岩中的石榴子石—斜方辉石—斜长石—石英组合给出的变质压力为0．61～0．67GPa。镁铁质麻粒岩中火成亚钙质普通辉石斑晶的保存表明格罗夫山地区可能只发育单一的泛非期高温麻粒岩相变质事件，岩石在高温变质之后经历了缓慢冷却过程，这主要归因于花岗质岩浆的板底垫托作用。     

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.
