准噶尔盆地东北缘石炭系火山岩形成机制:对准噶尔洋盆闭合时限的新启示

准噶尔古大洋作为古亚洲洋北部的重要分支及阶段性演化产物,其洋盆的俯冲、闭合时限以及盆地基底属性一直存在分歧。本文选取准噶尔盆地东北缘(乌伦古地区)石炭系火山岩来说明其岩浆来源及成因机制,通过主微量元素、Sr-Nd同位素分析结果,进一步阐明准噶尔洋盆在晚古生代的闭合时限。本次研究包括玄武岩、玄武质安山岩和安山岩三类火山岩,岩体显示低TiO₂(0.60%~0.84%)、较高的全碱K₂O+Na₂O含量(1.18%~8.59%),玄武岩为岛弧拉斑系列,安山岩类的钙碱元素含量高,具有火山弧火山岩特征。中-低⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_(i)(0.703 250~0.704 559)、相对亏损的Nd同位素(+4.8~+6.8)以及t_DM2(483~625 Ma)值表明玄武岩、玄武质安山岩和安山岩同为亏损地幔熔融岩浆分异结晶的产物,安山岩为地幔熔融岩浆后期分离结晶形成;微量元素与同位素地球化学示踪暗示玄武岩、玄武质安山岩和安山岩含有洋壳俯冲过程的脱水流体交代上覆地幔楔的消减组分,安山岩在深部岩浆房经历了壳-幔混合作用,受地壳成分的混染程度更大。大离子亲石元素(LILE)Ba、Sr和轻稀土元素、不相容元素(Th、U、K)相对富集,高场强元素(HFSE)Nb、Ta相对亏损,以及Pb、Zr、Hf的富集,说明该区属于与俯冲消减带相关的构造背景;结合本套火山岩高Ba/La(30.14~208.86)值、低TiO₂(0.60%~0.84%)值,以及Ce/Nb比(8.71~12.05)、Th/Nb比(0.93~1.74)等,表明准噶尔洋盆于石炭纪沿着大陆板块下部持续俯冲,洋壳板片的俯冲脱水流体交代地幔楔后增生岛弧。该套中-基性火山岩建造佐证了准噶尔洋盆闭合时限为晚石炭世(ca. 305.5±4.4 Ma),结合区域地质资料分析,提出与俯冲带有关的岩浆通过岛弧拼贴增生到大陆地壳上,进一步为准噶尔盆地基底的岛弧拼贴成因提供了新依据。

扬子西缘洋岛型与岛弧型火山岩岩石成因与构造意义:从板内裂谷到洋-陆俯冲

扬子西缘晚中元古代—早新元古代岩浆岩对扬子陆块构造演化以及Rodinia超大陆的汇聚和裂解至关重要。本文获得扬子西缘会理群天宝山组玄武质凝灰岩和盐边群渔门组角闪安山岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄分别为(1 035±15) Ma和(884±9) Ma。天宝山组玄武质凝灰岩属于碱性玄武岩系列,富集大离子亲石元素和高场强元素,具有正的ε_Nd(t)值(4.6),表现出与洋岛玄武岩相似的地球化学特征。天宝山组火山岩来自以石榴子石和尖晶石为稳定区的地幔橄榄岩1%~5%的部分熔融。渔门组角闪安山岩属于钙碱性岛弧玄武岩系列,以富集大离子亲石元素和轻稀土,亏损高场强元素为特征,具有明显的Nb、Ta、Ti负异常,ε_Nd(t)值为1.1~2.8。渔门组火山岩来自以石榴子石和尖晶石为稳定区的地幔橄榄岩5%~15%的部分熔融。构造背景判别图解指示天宝山组玄武质凝灰岩形成于被动大陆边缘板内裂谷盆地,而渔门组角闪安山岩形成于活动大陆边缘岛弧环境。根据本文获得的年代学及地球化学数据,笔者认为扬子西缘与大陆裂谷相关的天宝山组火山岩和与板块俯冲有关的渔门组火山岩,记录了新元古代早期构造动力学背景由板内裂谷转为洋-陆俯冲的变化。     

新疆新源县城南石炭纪火山岩岩石学和元素地球化学研究

新疆新源县南部那拉提山北坡出露的石炭纪火山岩主要由玄武岩、玄武质粗面安山岩、粗面安山岩、安山岩、流纹岩和火山碎屑岩组成。该火山岩中玄武岩属于钙碱性系列,安山质岩石和流纹岩属于高钾钙碱性系列,其中轻稀土轻微富集而重稀土相对亏损,玄武岩富集大离子亲石元素、U、Th和Pb,亏损高场强元素。研究表明,该火山岩岩浆可能是由俯冲板片脱水产生的流体交代地幔楔后,地幔楔发生部分熔融的结果。微量元素模拟计算表明,该玄武岩岩浆可以由石榴石二辉橄榄岩经3％～6％的部分熔融得到;安山质岩浆可由玄武岩岩浆经15％-28％的分离结晶形成。     

藏东江达中石炭世弧火山岩的厘定及其构造意义

金沙江特提斯洋盆是三江地区重要的洋盆之一,然而目前对于金沙江洋壳俯冲时限认识不一,弧火山岩对限定洋壳的俯冲消减过程具有重要意义.在西藏东部江达地区首次识别出一套中石炭世晚期的火山岩,主要岩性为玄武岩及安山岩,安山岩锆石U-Pb年龄为332±3.3 Ma（MSWD=2,n=14）,指示该火山活动为中石炭世晚期.江达火山岩SiO₂含量为45.65%~55.73%,具有高Al₂O₃含量（15.48%~16.79%）,TiO₂含量为0.82%~1.12%,富Na低K;轻重稀土分异明显,无δEu异常,强不相容元素Th、U等富集,高场强元素Nb、Ta等亏损,具有弧火山岩的地球化学性质.安山岩锆石ε_Hf（t）值为较均一的正值（+11.0~+15.6）,指示岩浆源区为受到富集组分影响的岩石圈地幔.研究表明江达中石炭世晚期火山岩形成于岛弧的构造环境,其火山活动与金沙江特提斯洋壳俯冲消减过程有关;结合区域地质资料认为金沙江特提斯洋壳在332 Ma之前已经开始了俯冲消减活动,进而为金沙江特提斯洋演化过程提供了岩石学证据.      

新疆伊犁北部石炭纪火山岩地球化学特征及其地质意义

石炭纪火山岩广泛分布于西天山伊犁陆块周缘,其岩性复杂,并大多与陆源碎屑岩伴生或互层。其中伊宁阿希、尼勒克和那拉提3个剖面的火山岩岩石地球化学特征显示,这些火山岩属于钙碱性系列,由玄武岩、粗玄岩、玄武质安山岩、玄武质粗面安山岩、安山岩、流纹岩、英安岩和粗面岩组成。稀土元素含量较高,轻稀土元素较重稀土元素富集。这些火山岩亏损高场强元素Nb,Ta,Zr等,而富集大离子亲石元素Th,Rb等,因而这些岩石的形成与板块俯冲有关。微量元素地球化学图解进一步表明,这些岩石形成于大陆岛弧环境。与之共生的早、中石炭世浅海—滨海相沉积地层以及伊犁陆块北缘巴音沟—莫托沙拉沟晚泥盆世—早石炭世蛇绿岩带的存在,表明伊犁陆块北缘在石炭纪时其环境为活动大陆边缘,石炭纪火山岩的形成可能与晚泥盆世—中石炭世早期北天山洋盆向南的俯冲作用有关。     

东准噶尔晚古生代依旧存在俯冲消减作用——来自石炭纪火山岩岩石学、地球化学及年代学证据

东准噶尔地区石炭纪巴塔玛依内山组火山岩分布广泛,规模巨大。对其岩石学、元素地球化学及同位素地球化学研究表明:1)该套火山岩岩石类型复杂,具玄武岩-安山岩-英安岩-流纹岩组合特征,属高钾钙碱性火山岩系,并富集大离子亲石元素(Sr、K、Rb、Ba、Th)和轻稀土元素,亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Ti)和重稀土元素,87Sr/86Sr和143Nd/144Nd初始值分别为0.70385~0.71312,0.152378~0.512998,εNd(t)多介于3.0~6.2之间,显示了与俯冲消减作用相关的不成熟弧后盆地火山岩地球化学特征。2)火山岩物质来源以亏损地幔源为主,并混有少量主体由古生代残余洋壳、岛弧体系组成的年轻下地壳物质。其中,基性熔岩以亏损地幔源为主,并在岩浆源区与少量新生地壳物质发生了近乎完全的壳-幔岩浆混合和Sm-Nd同位素体系均一化,其形成很可能与俯冲沉积物和(或)俯冲洋壳变质脱水产生的流体引起上覆地幔楔物质的部分熔融有关;而酸性熔岩与基性熔岩存在明显的不同,酸性熔岩是少量幔源岩浆经强烈结晶分异和经历较多壳源物质混染的结果。3)玄武岩全岩Sm-Nd等时线年龄为319.7±5.9 Ma,与区域地质构造背景和已有化石证据基本一致,代表了火山岩的形成时代。综合研究表明,东准噶尔地区320 Ma左右依旧存在古亚洲洋的俯冲消减作用,准噶尔古洋盆最终闭合时间应介于320~311 Ma之间。在此过程中,火山岩浆作用强烈,蕴含成矿物质丰富,东准噶尔地区找矿前景值得期待。     

拉萨地块北部去申拉组火山岩:班公湖-怒江特提斯洋南向俯冲的产物?

拉萨地块广泛分布有中生代的岩浆活动,研究它们对于认识特提斯洋的演化和理解整个青藏高原的形成过程有着重要的启示。本文首次对出露于拉萨地块北缘的去申拉组火山岩进行了详细的主、微量及同位素地球化学研究,结果显示去申拉组火山岩主要包括亚碱性的玄武岩、玄武安山岩、安山岩,主体为中钾钙碱性系列;其明显亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Ti等),相对富集大离子亲石元素(Rb、Ba、Sr等),具有岛弧火山岩的特征;稀土元素配分模式主体表现为轻稀土元素富集右倾型,少数具有较平坦的配分模式,无Eu异常;具有低Sr、高Nd(εNd:0.32～5.29)同位素特征,表明其源于亏损的地幔源区,暗示其为俯冲带地幔楔部分熔融的产物。结合区域地质资料及前人的研究成果,认为去申拉组火山岩代表了特提斯班公湖-怒江洋盆沿拉萨地块北缘南向俯冲消减的产物,从而为中生代班公湖-怒江洋盆的南向俯冲消减提供了直接的岩石学证据。     

长江中下游中生代安山质火山岩记录的新元古代大洋板片-地幔相互作用

大陆弧安山岩的形成是大洋板片向大陆边缘之下俯冲的结果,但是在具体形成机制上存在很大争议.针对这个问题,对长江中下游地区中生代安山质火山岩及其伴生的玄武质和英安质火山岩进行了系统的岩石地球化学研究,结果对大陆弧安山质火成岩的成因提出了新的机制.分析表明,这些岩石形成于早白垩世,它们不仅表现出典型的岛弧型微量元素分布特征,而且具有高度富集的Sr-Nd-Hf同位素和高的放射成因Pb以及高的氧同位素组成.通过全岩和矿物地球化学成分变化检查发现,地壳混染和岩浆混合作用对其成分的富集特征贡献有限,而其岩浆源区含有丰富的俯冲地壳衍生物质才是其成分富集的根本原因.虽然这些火山岩的喷发年龄为中生代,但是其岩浆源区形成于新元古代早期的华夏洋壳俯冲对扬子克拉通边缘之下地幔楔的交代作用.大陆弧安山岩地幔源区中含有大量俯冲洋壳沉积物部分熔融产生的含水熔体,显著区别于大洋弧玄武岩的地幔源区,其中只含有少量俯冲洋壳来源的富水溶液和含水熔体.正是这些含水熔体交代上覆地幔楔橄榄岩,形成了不同程度富集的超镁铁质-镁铁质地幔源区.在早白垩纪时期,古太平洋俯冲过程的远弧后拉张导致中国东部岩石圈发生部分熔融,其中超镁铁质地幔源区熔融形成玄武质火山岩,镁铁质地幔源区则熔融形成安山质火山岩.因此,大陆弧安山岩成因与大洋弧玄武岩一样,可分为源区形成和源区熔融两个阶段,其中第一阶段对应于俯冲带壳幔相互作用.      

扬子板块新元古代中期的持续俯冲作用:来自南华纪岛弧火山岩年代学和岩石地球化学新证据

产于扬子板块东南缘皖南祁门北部地区的铺岭组和扬子板块东北缘皖东张八岭地区的西冷岩组分别发育一套火山岩。前者为陆相火山岩,岩性以玄武安山岩为主;后者为海相火山岩,岩性以细碧-角斑岩系为主。两者之上均角度不整合覆盖着一套砂泥质沉积岩。铺岭组玄武安山岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为(765±15) Ma,西冷岩组石英角斑岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为(726.8±1.4) Ma,均属南华纪(新元古代中期)。二者主量元素含量差别较大(铺岭组为玄武-安山岩;西冷岩组为石英角斑岩),但它们均属于钙碱性系列,并具有相似的微量元素特征:它们均富集轻稀土元素和Ba、Th、U等大离子亲石元素,高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti强烈亏损,δEu、Zr、Hf异常不明显。这些特征显示它们与岛弧火山岩类似,可能是受俯冲板片流体影响的亏损地幔楔和新生地壳熔体的混合形成的。这些火山岩系形成于华夏向扬子俯冲形成的沟弧盆体系消失之后。结合前人研究成果,我们认为:扬子板块晋宁期深部的俯冲作用可能一直持续到约700 Ma,新元古代中期可能存在多岛弧拼贴过程,到了南华纪晚期才正式进入板内伸展阶段。     

An Early Devonian to Early Carboniferous volcanic arc in North Tianshan,NW China: Geochronological and geochemical evidence from volcanic rocks

The Late Paleozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks are widespread in the North Tianshan along the north margin of the Yili block. They consist of basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, trachyandesite, dacite, rhyolite, tuff, and tuffaceous sandstone. According to zircon sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) dating, the age of the Late Paleozoic volcanic rocks in Tulasu basin in western part of North Tianshan is constrained to be Early Devonian to Early Carboniferous (417–356 Ma), rather than Early Carboniferous as accepted previously. Geochemical characteristics of the Early Devonian to Early Carboniferous volcanic rocks are similar to those of arc volcanic rocks, which suggest that these volcanic rocks could be the major constituents of a continental arc formed by the southward subduction of North Tianshan Oceanic lithosphere. Geochemical studies indicate that the magma source of the volcanic rocks might be the mantle wedge mixed with subduction fluid, which is geochemically enriched than primitive mantle but depleted than E-MORB. The calculation shows that the basalt could be formed by ∼10% partial melting of subduction fluid modified mantle wedge. Andesites with high initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.7094–0.7104) and negative εNd(t) (−4.45 to −4.79) values reveal the contribution of continental crust to its source. The calculation of assimilation–fractional crystallization (AFC) shows that the fractional crystallization process of the basaltic magma, which was accompanied with assimilation by different degree of continental crust, produced andesite (7–9%), dacite (∼12%) and rhyolite (>20%).     

Characteristics and genesis of diachronous Carboniferous volcano-sedimentary sequences: insights from geochemistry,petrology and U–Pb dating in the North Junggar basin,China

ABSTRACT

The subduction of oceanic lithosphere during the Carboniferous Period contributed to the formation of widely distributed subduction-related volcanic rocks within the Junggar basin. These volcanic rock associations contain significant clues for understanding the subduction of the Keramaili oceanic lithosphere and the filling of the remnant oceanic basin. Here, we report regional gravity and magnetic data, petrology, geochemistry, and U–Pb dating for Carboniferous volcanic rocks from the North Junggar basin (NJB). Using samples from well Y-1, we distinguish upper and lower volcanic sequences on the basis of selected geochemical data. An isochronous stratigraphic framework of Carboniferous volcano-sedimentary sequences is then constructed and the petrogenesis of these volcanic rocks is discussed. Finally, we propose an explanation for the genesis of these diachronous Carboniferous volcano-sedimentary sequences. The results show that various volcanic rocks are distributed in different areas of the NJB, and mainly consist of calc-alkaline basalt–andesite–dacite assemblages and alkaline basalt–basaltic andesite–andesite assemblages. The geochemical data also demonstrate a binary nature of the Carboniferous volcanic rocks. In the eastern NJB, the lower and upper volcanic sequences are formed during the early and late Carboniferous, respectively. However, all of these volcano-related sequences in the western of the NJB are formed during the late Carboniferous. These volcano-sedimentary sequences exhibit a ‘ladder-style’ of temporospatial evolution from east to west. The geochemical results also indicate that the upper volcanic rocks include island arc components formed in an extensional setting, whereas the lower volcanic rocks were derived from deep crustal cycling metasomatism by various mantle components in a continental arc environment. Earlier closure of the Keramaili oceanic basin and slab roll-back of the Junggar oceanic lithosphere in eastern versus western Junggar basin led to the formation of these diachronous volcano-sedimentary sequences.     

Tectonic Implications of the Carboniferous Volcanic Rocks in the Eastern Junggar — Evidence from Zircon U‐Pb Ages and Geochemistry

Well Drilling shows that the volcanic rocks from the Carboniferous Batamayineishan Formation in the Eastern Junggar basin are mainly composed of volcaniclastic rocks (av. 52%) and volcanic lavas (32%), with a small amount of volcanic pyroclastic lavas (av. 11%). The volcanic lavas are basalt‐basaltic andesite‐andesite‐dacite assemblage. The LA‐ICP‐MS zircon U‐Pb dating of the andesite and the dacite yielded 325～321 Ma and 310 Ma ages, respectively, which is of high agreement with the published age (300 Ma) of basalts from this Formation, it is implied that an important volcanic activity occurred in Junggar basin in the late Carboniferous. The lavas have low TiO₂ and high Na₂O, indicating a calc‐alkaline series. Geochemical data show that they are characterized by LREE‐enriched patterns with slightly negative Eu anomalies. The rocks have high large ion lithophile element (LILE), and low high field strength element (HFSE) concentrations, with strong negative Nb, Ta and Ti anomalies. From basic through intermediate to felsic, the depletions in Sr, Ti and P of the studied volcanic rocks increase gradually. These geochemical characteristics indicate that the volcanic rocks are magmatic evolution products attributed to partial melting of mantle‐derived spinelle lherzolite related to oceanic subduction in an island‐arc setting. In combination with the LA‐ICP‐MS zircon U‐Pb dating, it is inferred that subduction of the Junggar Ocean in eastern Junggar basin lasted to the Late Carboniferous. Consequently, the final closure of the Junggar Ocean occurred most likely after 310 Ma.     

Early Carboniferous intra-oceanic arc and back-arc basin system in the West Junggar,NW China

A series of Lower Carboniferous volcanic rocks occur in the Hatu, Darbut, and Baogutu areas of Xinjiang Province. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) zircon U–Pb isotopic data indicate that two samples of these rocks coevally erupted at 324.0 ± 2.8 Ma and 324.9 ± 3.4 Ma. Three detailed profile measurements show that the volcanics include the Hatu basalt, the Baogutu andesite and dacite, and the Darbut andesite. Whole-rock compositions suggest that the Hatu volcanics are tholeiites and have a mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB)-like signature with a small negative Nb anomaly, suggesting formation in a back-arc basin. Their isotopic compositions (?Nd(t) = +2.2 to +4.0, (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)i = 0.70414 to 0.70517) suggest a mixing origin from depleted to enriched mantle sources. In contrast, the Baogutu and Darbut rocks are andesite and dacite possessing a transitional tholeiite to calc–alkaline character and have E-MORB-like and OIB signatures, with a marked negative Nb anomaly and Th/Yb-enrichment, indicating that they were generated in a subduction zone setting. Isotopically, they display consistently depleted Sr–Nd isotopic compositions [(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)i = 0.70377–0.70469, ?Nd(t) = 1.0–5.2], suggesting that they were derived from a depleted mantle, and that fluid and sediments were involved in their petrogenesis. These features suggest that an early Carboniferous intra-oceanic arc and back-arc basin system generated the studied volcanic units in the West Junggar.     

新疆西天山智博铁矿床火山岩和侵入岩岩石地球化学

新疆西天山阿吾拉勒山集中产出多个大、中型海相火山岩型富铁矿床,引起人们的广泛关注。这些铁矿的成因被认为与火山作用有关,但对其成岩成矿的大地构造背景尚不清楚。文章研究了智博铁矿区出露的火山岩和侵入岩的岩石学、岩石地球化学,尝试探讨该问题。智博铁矿体赋矿围岩为早石炭世大哈拉军山组玄武岩和安山岩,侵入岩有晚石炭世花岗岩、花岗岩脉和闪长岩脉。玄武岩和安山岩在构造环境判别图解中投影于火山弧范围内,在花岗岩类构造环境判别图解中,320 Ma的花岗岩脉和319 Ma的石英闪长岩投影于岛弧环境,304 Ma的花岗闪长岩则投影于同碰撞环境。结合前人研究成果,认为智博地区在早石炭世为岛弧环境,晚石炭世可能经历了岛弧俯冲向同碰撞环境的转变。玄武岩亏损Ta、Nb,相对亏损Th,富集Rb、U、Pb;安山岩亏损Ta、Nb,富集轻稀土元素和Rb、U、Th、Pb,结合Sr/Th-Th/Ce和Th-Ba/Th图解判别,推测智博铁矿床玄武岩和安山岩岩浆源区为受到了俯冲带流体交代的楔形地幔。     

西天山乌孙山地区大哈拉军山组火山岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其构造环境

西天山乌孙山地区大哈拉军山组由玄武岩、安山岩、英安岩、流纹岩及相应的火山碎屑岩组成,安山岩和流纹岩分布最广。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,火山活动喷发的安山岩与安山质晶屑凝灰熔岩分别形成于353.9Ma±6.5Ma和356.3Ma±4.4Ma,属于早石炭世早期。通过区域对比,西天山大哈拉军山组的火山岩浆作用显示从伊犁中天山板块南北缘向伊犁盆地内部逐渐变年轻的特点,且火山岩喷发时代差别不大(约40Ma)。岩石地球化学研究表明,火山岩属钙碱性系列,富集轻稀土元素,相对亏损重稀土元素。中性火山岩富集大离子亲石元素(如Cs、Rb、Th、U),而相对亏损高场强元素,具有明显的Nb、Ta、Ti负异常,显示出岛弧火山岩的特征;酸性火山岩相对富集Rb、Th、U、Ta等元素,具有明显的Ba、Sr、P、Eu、Ti等元素的负异常。综合伊犁-中天山板块南缘的构造演化特征,认为大哈拉军山组形成于活动大陆边缘环境,产在板块俯冲-碰撞的最后阶段。     

Geochemistry of late Paleozoic mafic igneous rocks from the Kuerti area,Xinjiang, northwest China: implications for backarc mantle evolution

The composition of Kuerti mafic rocks in the Altay Mountains in northwest China ranges from highly geochemically depleted, with very low La, Ta and Nb and high ε_Nd(t) values, to slightly enriched, arc lava-like composition. They display flat to light rare earth element (REE)-depleted patterns and have variable depletions in high field-strength elements (HFSE). These mafic rocks were most probably derived from a variably depleted mantle source containing a subduction component beneath an ancient intra-oceanic backarc basin. Together with the slightly older arc volcanic rocks in the Altay region, the Kuerti mafic rocks display generally positive correlations of their key elemental ratios (e.g., Th/Nb, La/Yb and Th/Yb). These indicate that the more mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) component was contained in these magmas, the less arc component was present in their mantle source. Therefore, we propose a two-stage melting evolution model to interpret the compositional evolution of the Kuerti mafic rocks and associated arc volcanic rocks. First, arc basaltic melts were extracted from the hydrated arc mantle wedge beneath Kuerti, leaving behind a mantle source that is variably depleted in incompatible trace elements. Then, mafic rocks were erupted during seafloor spreading in the Kuerti backarc basin from the upwelling asthenospheric mantle. The variably depleted mantle source produced mafic rocks with composition ranging from arc lava-like to more geochemically depleted than MORB. The recognition of Kuerti mafic rocks as backarc basin basalts (BABB) is consistent with the proposed tectonic model that an active backarc basin–island arc system along the paleo-Asian ocean margin was formed in the Altay region during Devonian–Early Carboniferous. New data further indicate that the final orogenic event in the Altay Mountains, i.e. the collision of the north and south continental plates in the region, most probably took place in Late Carboniferous and Permian.     

准噶尔盆地及其周缘地区晚古生代火山机构分布与发育环境分析

本文收集了北疆地区已报道的145处晚古生代火山机构信息.其中,准噶尔盆地周缘32处,主要集中分布于博罗科努山、博格达山以及克拉美丽山,包括破火山口、火山穹窿、火山通道(火山颈)等多种火山机构类型;准噶尔盆地盆内火山机构85处,主要分布在西北缘克百断裂带和盆地腹部的四处凹陷(三南凹陷、东道海子凹陷、滴水泉凹陷和五彩湾凹陷)及七处凸起(白家海凸起、石西凸起、夏盐凸起、三个泉凸起、滴北凸起、滴南凸起和北三台凸起).盆内火山机构分布主要受海西期断裂系控制,大致沿着NE、近EW两个方向的断裂展布,并在断裂交汇部位最为发育.由于后期改造,晚古生代火山机构普遍遭受剥蚀,且发生强烈变形和风化、淋滤改造,野外识别主要依靠残留地貌特征、火山岩相变化趋势及引爆角砾岩等特征岩性;地震识别则主要依靠地震切片、属性分析及构造趋势面分析等手段.准噶尔盆地晚古生代火山岩年龄集中于340～320Ma,300～295 Ma,分别对应东、西准噶尔岛弧俯冲时期.自早石炭世至晚石炭世,准噶尔盆地及邻区火山活动具有自水下向水上、深水向浅水、陆缘向陆内转换的变化趋势.     

新元古代陆缘岩浆弧——塔里木盆地巴楚隆起的基底:来自钻井岩芯的最新证据

塔里木盆地巴楚隆起西缘的同1井(TX1)在寒武系之下钻遇一套火山岩,本文对该套火山岩的岩石类型、形成时代、岩石成因及构造环境进行了详细研究。结果显示,这套火山岩可分为上下两段,分别为杏仁状辉石安山岩和角闪石英安岩,属于钙碱性系列火山岩,形成于大陆边缘弧构造环境。安山岩锆石U-Pb年龄(747±12Ma)表明该岩浆弧发育时代为新元古代。同1井钻揭的火山岩与卡塔克隆起上塔参1井(TC1)钻揭的闪长岩(744.0±9.3Ma~790.0±22.1Ma)和花岗闪长岩(757.4±6.2Ma)成岩时代一致、形成环境相同,表明横亘塔里木盆地中部的古隆起带(巴楚隆起-卡塔克隆起-古城虚隆起)起源于一条新元古代陆缘岩浆弧,塔里木盆地的基底是由新元古代造山作用拼合的基底。以中央隆起带为界,南、北塔里木的基底性质和成盆演化过程可能有所差异。
