桐柏-大别-苏鲁UHP和HP变质带的结构及流变学演化

在岩石圈流变学基本原理指导下，运用现代构造解析学方法，在不同尺度上差别和分析了桐柏－大别－苏鲁UHP和HP变质带内深俯冲，同碰撞构造及UHP和HP岩石折返过程中的变形特征，重点讨论同碰撞形成的高角度网结状榴辉岩切带阵列，高角闪岩相剪切及有关变形组合以及碰撞期后伸展韧性薄化变形样式，强调指出不同地壳层次和物理条件下变形分解作用的重要性，而且，在UHP和HP变质带内最有效的应变体制是剪切作用，并在三维空间上形成不同格式的剪切带网状系统，以构造学记录为主线，结合已有可利用的岩石学，变质作用pT轨迹和同位素年代学资料，提出一个UHP和HP变质带尺度上的流变学演化模式，其中，UHP和HP变质岩石由地幔深度折返到地壳表层，经历了楔状挤出，碰撞期后地壳韧性薄化及晚造山伸展塌陷，揭顶作用等多个阶段的动力学过程。     

大别-苏鲁构造带三叠纪碰撞缝合线的位置

大别－苏鲁构造带内超高压（UHP）和高压（HP）变质岩石的分布和不同构造岩石单位间的关系表明, 三叠纪中朝与扬子克拉通碰撞及超高压和高压变质岩石形成时的古缝合线, 位于大别地块的北缘, 沿八里畈－磨子潭－晓天一线展布, 在苏鲁地区, 五莲－烟台断裂代表被强烈改造了的古缝合线的位置.大别山北部霍山县与岳西县交界地区以及舒城、桐城和潜山县交界地区UHP和HP单位岩石的大面积分布, 说明水吼－五河断裂不是UHP和HP榴辉岩相岩石的北限, 因而, 不代表缝合线位置, “南大别”与“北大别”地体的划分地质意义是不明确的.同时, 大别山北部的镁铁质及超镁铁质岩石块体群, 包括变形的方辉橄榄岩、纯橄榄岩组合及未变形的辉石岩、角闪辉石岩和辉长岩组合, 前者与榴辉岩相岩石有相同的变形变质及几何学特征, 后者是燕山期侵入体（123~130Ma）, 因此, 不是“变质蛇绿混杂岩”, 也不代表三叠纪陆－陆碰撞时期古缝合线.强调指出, 准确地鉴别三叠纪碰撞缝合线位置, 是正确理解UHP和HP岩石形成及折返动力学过程的关键.      

大别-苏鲁区超高压变质岩的多期构造变质演化

对大别-苏鲁地区超高压(UHP)变质岩的详细构造和岩石学研究揭示了其复杂的构造变质演化历史。除前超高压事件外,至少可识别出5个相继发育的构造变质事件或阶段(D_1-D_5)。D_1和 D_2同超高压事件与三叠纪(250～230Ma)中朝克拉通和扬子克拉通间的大陆深俯冲及碰撞有关,而超高压后的 D_3和 D_4韧性变形及其伴生的减压部分熔融作用和退变质作用事件,则是超高压岩石向中上地壳折返过程中(230～140Ma)发生的。碰撞后形成的 D_4构造,主导了大别-苏鲁超高压和高压变质带区域尺度的构造格架。第5阶段的构造以摩擦或摩擦-粘性过渡性变形机制为主,并伴随有大规模的未变形的花岗质岩体就位,该期构造热事控制了现今大别-苏鲁地区的地貌学特征。新的构造和岩石学资料并结合可利用的地质年代学和地球化学等资料,提出一个涉及中朝与扬子克拉通间三叠纪大陆深俯冲、碰撞及相继超高压变质岩石向地表的多期折返构造变质演化模式。     

大别-苏鲁超高压和高压变质带碰撞后韧性伸展构造框架

国内外学者对大别-苏鲁区的超高压和高压变质带己进行了较深入的岩石学、同位素年代学及地球化学等领域的研究工作.相对而言,构造学研究比较薄弱.因而,所提出的超高压和高压变质岩石的形成及折返运动学模式,一般还缺乏坚实的构造学证据的支撑.我们通过关键地段详细构造分析及大比例尺(1:10000)制图,结合区域上构造观察和可利用的已有岩石学、变质作用及同位素年代学资料,在判别早期碰撞或挤压组构与碰撞期后角闪岩相条件下伸展组构基础上,重点分析了超高压、高压变质岩石折返到中下地壳后形成的区域伸展构造框架.其构造样式类似于北美的科迪那拉型变质核杂岩,几何形态为穹窿型式,内部发育4个缓倾斜伸展拆离带,由下向上为下拆离带、中拆离带、上拆离带和顶拆离带,共同构成一个近平行的伸展拆离系,并将大别-苏鲁区变质岩石分隔成变质温压条件完全不同的岩石构造单位,由下而上为核杂岩带(Cc)、超高压单位(UHP)、高压单位(HP)、绿帘石-蓝片岩单位(EB)和沉积盖层(SC).拆离带及岩石构造单位内部都发育区域性面状和线状组构,它们叠加和改造了榴辉岩透镜体内部保存的残余榴辉岩相组构.拆离带内岩石大都糜棱岩化,反映主要为非共轴变形体制,运动学标志指示正向剪切滑动作用.岩石构造单位内部岩石以近垂向缩短兼近水平方向的拉伸变形为特征.利用应变标志估算,片麻岩及含榴花岗岩的垂向缩短达70.80%,水平拉伸达100.150%;榴辉岩及退变质榴辉岩的垂向缩短仅为50%,水平拉伸为100%.表明不同岩石间的流变性差,在伸展变形过程中起重要的作用,形成布丁-基质或残斑一基质流变学构造.强调指出,我们现在所看到的构造框架,主要代表一个三叠纪中朝与扬子克拉通碰撞期后韧性的中下地壳的斜断面像.野外地质-热事件几何关系及同位素年代学资料显示,区域性伸展构造是在三叠纪(240～210Ma)中朝克拉通与扬子克拉通碰撞后,在角闪岩相条件下形成的(200～170Ma).这种地壳尺度的伸展作用,在超高压和高压变质岩石中.下地壳折返到中、上地壳过程中有重要的功能.而增厚岩石圈拆沉作用及在角闪岩相条件下的减压部分熔融作用产生的地壳热状态变化,是促使地壳由挤压体制向伸展体制转换的重要驱动机制.     

苏鲁-大别超高压岩石中锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年研究——综述和最新进展

如何建立苏鲁-大别超高压岩石深俯冲-超高压-快速折返过程连续而完整的P-T-t轨迹及精细的年代谱系,是目前地学界研究的热点。而变质锆石是否记录深俯冲石英榴辉岩相进变质阶段的年代学信息和超高压峰期变质时代的准确归属,是目前苏鲁-大别超高压变质带需要深入研究的核心问题。本文在对前人同位素年代学方面所取得的成果进行系统总结的基础上。采用锆石中矿物包体激光拉曼和电子探针测试、锆石阴极发光图像成因分析以及SHRIMP U-Pb定年等综合研究手段,确定苏鲁-大别地体榴辉岩及其强退变质围岩在深俯冲-构造折返过程中主要经历了四个阶段的变质演化:深俯冲石英榴辉岩相进变质(Ⅰ)、超高压峰期变质(Ⅱ)、构造折返初期石英榴辉岩相退变质(Ⅲ)和构造折返晚期角闪岩相退变质(Ⅳ)。研究发现,扬子板块(中)新元古代巨量的陆壳物质在早三叠纪(246～244Ma)俯冲到华北板块之下约65km的深处。发生了石英榴辉岩相进变质,相应的变质温压条件为T=542～693℃,P=1.7～2.02GPa。这些高压石英榴辉岩相岩石在中-新三叠纪继续向下俯冲,在235～225Ma期间,俯冲的深度至少达到了170km的地幔深处,并发生了峰期柯石英榴辉岩相超高压变质,相应的变质温压条件为T=722～866℃,P>5.5GPa。苏鲁-大别超高压地体自石英榴辉岩相进变质阶段到超高压峰期变质阶段的俯冲速率为7.0km/Myr。这些超高压岩石在219～216Ma期间,发生了第一次构造抬升至75km的深处,并经历了石英榴辉岩相退变质作用的改造,退变质温压条件为T=730～780℃,P=1.7～2.6GPa。这些退变质岩石在212～205Ma期间,又经历了第二次抬升至25km中-下地壳深处,并叠加了角闪岩相退变质作用,该阶段变质温压条件为T=610～710℃,P=0.7～1.2GPa。苏鲁-大别超高压地体两次构造抬升的速率大致相同,为5.6km/Myr。该项成果不仅确定了苏鲁-大别榴辉岩及其强退变质岩石深俯冲过程石英榴辉岩相进变质-超高压峰期变质、构造折返过程石英榴辉岩相-角闪岩相退变质连续而完整的变质演化P-T-t轨迹及精细的年代谱系,而且对于重新建立苏鲁-大别巨量陆壳物质快速超深俯冲-快速折返的动力学模式有着重要的科学意义。     

超高压变质岩的塑性流变学

岩石流变作用是大陆造山作用的基本特征,超高压岩石的形成和折返过程也是大陆深俯冲带内物质的复杂流变过程。要深入理解大陆造山带的造山作用和大陆壳岩石的深俯冲和折返动力学过程,必须对大陆地壳及地幔岩石的流变学进行深入研究。岩石圈流变学的主要研究内容主要包括流变学分层性、变形分解和应变局部化及大陆壳岩石部分熔融作用的流变学效应等。应用岩石圈流变学的基本原理和方法,分析了大别-苏鲁超高压变质带中超高压变质岩的塑性流变特点,探讨了超高压变质岩形成和折返过程的塑性流变学。

浅变质岩在示踪大别—苏鲁造山带大陆板块俯冲与折返过程中的意义

中国大别-苏鲁造山带为大陆板块俯冲形成的碰撞造山带,该带北缘和内部产有原岩时代为新元古代-晚古生代的浅变质岩。这些浅变质岩对应于扬子板块北缘前寒武变质基底和扬子板块北缘古生代大陆架沉积物,形成过程于印支期扬子板块向北俯冲过程中的刮削作用密切相关,与大洋板块俯冲过程中刮削形成的加积楔具有类似的动力学过程。对大别-苏鲁造山带浅变质岩的深入研究,不仅有助于揭示大陆板块俯冲过程中高压-超高压岩石形成与折返过程,而且确定了扬子板块与华北板块之间的缝合线位置位于大别造山带北淮阳带的北部和苏鲁造山带的五莲-蓬莱群的北侧。     

大别-苏鲁区超高压(UHP)变质岩的多阶段构造折返过程

追溯和重塑超高压变质岩由100多千米地幔深度折返至上地壳及地表的过程,对理解会聚板块边缘及大陆碰撞带的运动学和动力学是极为重要的.主要依据构造学、岩石学、地球化学和可利用的地质年代学资料,结合区域多期变形分析,大别-苏鲁区超高压变质岩的折返过程至少可分解出4个大的阶段.块状榴辉岩记录了三叠纪(约250~230 Ma)大陆壳岩石的深俯冲/碰撞作用.超高压变质岩早期迅速折返发生于超高压峰期变质作用(P＞3.1~4.0 GPa,T≈800±50 ℃)之后,处于地幔深度和柯石英稳定域,相当于区域D₂变形期阶段.分别与区域变形期D₃、D₄和D₅对应的折返过程,以及后成合晶、冠状体等卸载不平衡结构发育和减压部分熔融作用2个中间性构造热事件,均发生在地壳层次. 网络状剪切带在折返过程的不同阶段和不同层次均有发育,标志着在超高压变质带内的变质和变形分解作用曾重复进行.着重指出,超高压变质岩的折返,主要是由大陆壳的深俯冲/碰撞和伸展作用控制的构造过程,且受到俯冲带内、带外诸多因素的约束,其中水流体就起关键作用.      

Kanfenggou UHP Metamorphic Fragment in Eastern Qinling Orogen and Its Relationship to Dabie-Sulu UHP and HP Metamorphic Belts, Central China

In the Central Orogenic Belt, China, two UHP metamorphic belts are discriminated mainly based on a detailed structural analysis of the Kanfenggou UHP metamorphic fragment exposed in the eastern Qinling orogen, and together with previous regional structural, petrological and geochronological data at the scale of the orogenic domain. The first one corresponds to the South Altun-North QaidamNorth Qinling UHP metarnorphic belt. The other is the Dabie-Sulu UHP and HP metamorphic belts. The two UHP metamorphic belts are separated by a series of tectonic slices composed by the Qiniing rock group, Danfeng rock group and Liuling or Foziling rock group etc. respectively, and are different in age of the peak UHP metamorphism and geodynamic implications for continental deep subduction and collision. Regional field and petrological relationships suggest that the Kanfenggou UHP metamorphic fragment that contains a large volume of the coesite- and microdiamond-bearing eclogite lenses is compatible with the structures recognized in the South Altun and North Qaidam UHP metamorphic fragments exposed in the western part of China, thereby forming a large UHP metamorphic belt up to 1000 km long along the orogen strike. This UHP metamorphic belt represents an intercontinental deep subduction and collision belt between the Yangtze and Sino-Korean cratons, occurred during the Paleozoic. On the other hand, the well-constrained Dabie-Sulu UHP and HP metamorphic belts occurred mainly during Triassic time (250-220 Ma), and were produced by the intracontinental deep subduction and collision within the Yangtze craton. The Kanfenggou UHP metamorphic fragment does not appear to link with the DabieSulu UHP and HP metamorphic belts along the orogen. There is no reason to assume the two UHP metamorphic belts as a single giant deep subduction and collision zone in the Central Orogenic Belt situated between the Yangtze and Sino-Korean cratons. Therefore, any dynamic model for the orogen must ac-count for the development of UHP metarnorphic rocks belonging to the separate two tectonic belts of different age and tectono-metamorphic history.     

New Data Regarding Hotly Debated Topics Concerning UHP Metamorphism of the Dabie-Sulu Belt,East-Central China

Critical but controversial problems in the study of UHP metamorphic rocks from the Dabie-Sulu region include: (1) the possible existence of ophiolitic mélange; (2) the “in situ” versus “foreign” origin of UHP eclogites and their enclosing gneisses; (3) the possible presence and role of fluids during ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) recrystallization; (4) the timing of collision between the Yangtze and Sino-Korean continental blocks; (5) the polarity of syncollisional subduction; and (6) a single-versus multistage exhumation scenario for the UHP rocks. These questions are discussed in light of new geological, geochemical, and isotopic constraints.

Our conclusions for the Dabie-Sulu belt are as follows: (1) Mafic-ultramafic blocks are of two distinct origins: one group samples lithosphere of the suprasubductionzone mantle wedge, whereas the second group represents postcollisional magmatic intrusions. Neither lithologic group represents true oceanic crust. (2) Quartzofeldspathic gneisses enveloping the eclogites are of two types— metasedimentary “in situ” and igneous “foreign.” The paragneisses contain UHP garnets + white micas, and are uniformly older (235 ± 5 Ma) than the orthogneisses (210 ± 5 Ma), which are devoid of UHP mineralogic indicators. (3) Fluids were active under UHP conditions and allowed the formation of UHP hydrous phases such as phengite and zoisite. However, the aqueous fluids may have been restricted to certain channels/pathways during exhumation. External fluids were absent until ascent of the UHP rocks to middle-crustal levels. (4) The Yangtze and Sino-Korean continental blocks collided during 230 to 240 Ma, when supracontinental rocks experienced UHP metamorphism. The HP metamorphic event dated as >400 Ma might record a subduction of oceanic crust during the Paleozoic. (5) An ancient mantle wedge is revealed by geochemical characteristics of Mesozoic magmatic rocks developed on the southern margin of the Sino-Korean craton, the hanging wall of the UHP-rock-bearing unit. Seismic tomography images reveal that the Yangtze block extends beneath the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt. This indicates that both oceanic and continental crust had a northward subduction polarity. (6) Taking petrologic and geochronological data into account, we prefer a multistage exhumation model. The UHP rocks were exhumed rapidly during the first stage (230 to 200 Ma), perhaps reflecting a corner-flow mechanism. Then, buoyancy and mantle upwelling brought the UHP rocks up to middle-crustal levels during the second stage (200 to 170 Ma). Extension and thermal uplift, as well as erosion, eventually exposed the UHP rocks to the surface in the third stage (170 to 120 Ma).

Polyphase Deformation of the Weihai-Rongcheng UHP Unit Rocks, NE Sulu： Insights into the Tectonic Evolution of the Dabie-Sulu UHP and HP Belts, China

Different scales of structural data reveal a complex deformation history of ultrahigh- pressure （UHP） rocks exposed in the Weihai-Rongcbeng area, NE Sulu （northern Jiangsu-eastern Shandong）, eastern China. Excluding pre-UHP deformations, at least five major sequential deformational stages （D1-Ds） are recognized. The first deformation （DO produced a weak foliation and lineation in massive eclogites. The foliated eclogite with a dominant foliation containing a stretching and mineral lineation was developed during the I）2 deformation. Both the D1 and D2 deformations occurred under UHP metamorphic conditions, and are well preserved in the eclogite bodies. D3 structures which developed shortly after the formation of granulite/amphibolite facies symplectites are characterized by imbricated associations marked by a regional, steeply dipping foliation, compositional layering, eclogite boudinage, isoclinal folds and reverse ductile shear zones. The D3 deformation was accompanied by decompressional partial melting. A regional, gently dipping amphibolite facies foliation and stretching lineation, low-angle detachments, and dome- and arc-shaped structures formed during the D4 deformation stage dominate to some degree the map pattern of the Weihai-Rongcbeng UHP domain. The last stage of deformation （Ds） gave rise to the final exhumation of the UHP rocks. Ds is characterized by development of brittle-dominated high-angle faulting associated with emplacement of large volmnes of undeformed granite plutons and dykes dated at 134-100 Ma. The deformational and metamorphic sequence followed by the UHP rocks in the Weihai-Rongcheng area is similar to that studied in the entire Dabie-Sulu UHP and HP metamorphic belts from microscopic to mapping scale. Based on structural data, combined with available petrographic, metamorphic and geochronological data, a speculative tectonic evolutionary model for the Dabie-Sulu UHP and IIP belts is proposed, involving continental subduction/collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons and subsequent polyphase exhumation histories of the UHP and IIP metamorphic rocks.

Post-Collisional Ductile Extensional Tectonic Framework in the UHP and HP Metamorphic Belts in the Dabie-Sulu Region, China

The present-day observable tectonic framework of the ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) and high-pressure (HP) metamorphic belts in the Dabie-Sulu region was dominantly formed by an extensional process, mostly between 200 and 170 Ma, following the Triassic collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons. The framework that controls the present spatial distribution of UHP and HP metamorphic rocks in particular displays the typical features of a Cordilleran-type metamorphic core complex, in which at least four regional-scale, shallow-dipping detachment zones are recognized. Each of these detachment zones corresponds to a pressure gap of 0.5 to 2.0 GPa. The detachment zones separate the rocks exposed in the region into several petrotectonic units with different P-T conditions. The geometry and kinematics of both the detachment zones and the petrotectonic units show that the exhumation of UHP and HP metamorphic rocks in the Dabie-Sulu region was achieved, at least in part, by non-coaxial ductile flow in the mul     

High- to ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) ductile shear zones in the Sulu UHP metamorphic belt, China: implications for continental subduction and exhumation

High‐ to ultrahigh‐pressure (HP‐UHP) metamorphic rocks that resulted from deep continental subduction and subsequent exhumation in the Sulu orogenic belt, China, have experienced multiphase deformation and metamorphic overprint during its long journey to the mantle and return to the surface. HP‐UHP shear zones are strain‐localized weak zones on which the UHP slab is transported over long distances. HP‐UHP shear zones are well exposed along a 200‐km belt in the Sulu UHP metamorphic belt. The shear zones lie structurally below the UHP rocks and above the non‐UHP rocks, suggesting the early exhumation of the UHP rocks by thrusting. The large area distribution, HP‐UHP nature, high strain and structural association of the shear zones with the UHP rocks suggest that the shear zones are probably a regional detachment developed during the early stage of exhumation of the UHP rocks. Kinematic indicators suggest top‐to‐the N–NW motion of the UHP slab during the exhumation, which, combined with isotope signature in Mesozoic igneous rocks, leads us to the interpretation that the subduction polarity is the North China plate down to the south rather than the Yangtze plate down to the north in the Sulu region.
