桐柏-大别造山带高压变质单元岩石Pb同位素组成

铅同位素组成对于研究构造分区与演化、块体相互作用以及识别地壳中不同块体的上、下层次关系等具有重要意义.桐柏-大别造山带高压变质单元岩石的全岩Pb同位素组成研究表明, 在该造山带不同区段, 高压变质岩系二云钠长片麻岩与榴辉岩具有相似的Pb同位素组成, 表现为上部地壳高放射成因的Pb同位素组成特征, 其中Pb同位素组成为: 206Pb/204Pb=17.599~18.310, 207Pb/204Pb=15.318~15.615, 208Pb/204Pb=37.968~39.143.大别和桐柏地区高压变质岩系Pb同位素组成的一致性进一步证明了大别地区与桐柏地区的高压变质岩系是可以相连的, 它们应属于同一构造单元.高压变质岩系Pb同位素比值总体高于超高压变质岩系, 验证了桐柏-大别造山带扬子俯冲陆壳从下部岩系到上部岩系Pb同位素比值呈规律增长这一Pb同位素化学特征.侵入于高压变质岩系中的面理化(含榴)花岗岩, 其Pb同位素组成与高压变质岩系相比相对较低, 而与超高压变质岩系及其中的面理化(含榴)花岗岩相似, 为: 206Pb/204Pb=17.128~17.434, 207Pb/204Pb=15.313~15.422, 208Pb/204Pb=37.631~38.122.这表明高压变质岩系和超高压变质岩系中的面理化(含榴)花岗岩具有相同的岩浆来源.结合面理化(含榴)花岗岩具有A型花岗岩的地球化学特征分析, 它们的岩浆物质可能来自超高压变质岩折返至中下地壳的减压退变和部分熔融.      

Geochemical Characteristics of Pb Isotope of High-Pressure Metamorphic Rocks and Foliated Granites from HP Unit of Tongbai-Dabie Orogenic Belt

Whole-rock Pb isotopic compositions of the high-pressure (HP) metamorphic rocks, consisting of two-mica albite gneisses and eclogites, and foliated granites from the HP metamorphic unit of the Tongbai-Dabie orogenic belt are firstly reported in this paper. The results show that the tip metamorphic rocks in different parts of this orogenic belt have similar Pb isotopic compositions. The twomica albite gneisses have ^206 pb/^204 Pb=17. 657 -18. 168, ^207pb/^204 Pb=15. 318-15. 573,^ 208Pb/^204ob=38.315-38. 990, and the eclogites have ^206Pb/^204 Pb=17. 599 -18. 310, ^207Pb/^204 Pb=15. 465 -15. 615,^208Pb/^204Pb=37. 968-39. 143. The HP metamorphic rocks are characterized by upper crustal Pb isotopic composition. Although the Pb isotopic composition of the HP metamorphic rocks partly overlaps that of the ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks, as a whole, the former is higher than the latter. The high radiogenic Pb isotopic composition for the HP metamorphic rocks confirms that the subducted Yangtze continental crust in the Tongbai-Dabie orogenic belt has the chemical structure of increasing radiogenic Pb isotopic composition from lower crust to upper crust. The foliated granites, intruded in the HP metamorphic rocks post the HP/UHP metamorphism, have ^206Pb/^204 Pb=17. 128- 17. 434,^207Pb/^204pb=15. 313-15. 422 and ^208Pb/^204Pb=37. 631-38. 122, which are obviously different from the Pb isotopic compositions of the HP metamorphic rocks but similar to those of the UHP metamorphic rocks and the foliated garnet-bearing granites in the UHP unit. This shows that the foliated granites from the HP and UHP units have common magma source. Combined with the foliated granites having the geochemical characteristics of A-type granites, it is suggested that the magma for the foliated granites in the UHP and HP unit would be derived from the partial melting of the retrometamorphosed UHP metamorphic rocks exhumed into middle to lower crust, and partial magmas were intruded into the HP unit.     

桐柏-大别碰撞造山带的基本组成与结构

桐柏－大别碰撞造山带的组成与结构，主要是印支期碰撞及高压、超高压变质期后伸展构造和中新生代热－构造演化的结果。在组成上，除了燕山期及其后的岩浆活动和盆地堆积产物以外，主要包括核部杂岩单元、超高压单元、高压单元、绿帘－蓝片岩单元和沉积盖层单元等，此外还有一些镁铁质和超镁铁质岩体残留或侵入其中。桐柏－大别碰撞造山带的整体结构样式类似于北美西部的变质核杂岩带，即以总体具穹隆形态及多层拆离滑脱带的发育为特征，构成了以罗田和桐柏山为核部的两个穹隆。超高压单元、高压单元和绿帘蓝片岩单元作为不同的岩片夹持于核部杂岩和沉积盖层之间，其分布格局受碰撞期后伸展构造格架所制约。     

Major Constituents of the Dabie Collisional Orogenic Belt and Partial Melting in the Ultrahigh-Pressure Unit

The present constitution and architecture of the Dabieshan orogenic belt is the combined result of Triassic subduction collision, extensional tectonics postdating the HP and UHP metamorphism, and thermo-tectonic evolution in Mesozoic-Cenozoic time. In addition to Yanshanian and post-Yan-shanian magmatic intrusion, volcanic eruption, and basin deposition, lithotectonic constituents of the Dabie orogenic belt consist mainly of a core complex (CC) unit, an UHP unit, an HP unit, an epidote-blueschist (EBS) unit, and a sedimentary cover (SC) unit. Minor mafic-ultramafic plutons were intruded into or preserved within the CC, UHP, HP, or EBS units. Slices of UHP, HP, and EBS units are progressively sandwiched between the underlying core complex and the overlying sedimentary cover. The distribution of lithotectonic units is controlled by an extensional tectonic framework, which postdates the collisional event. The tectonic pattern of the Dabieshan orogenic belt as a whole is characterized by a general doming, with the development of multi-layered detachment zones.

The study of partial melting associated with decompressive retrogression in the UHP unit during exhumation of the eclogites provides us with a better understanding of the relationship between eclogites and the surrounding country rock (socalled UHP gneisses), and the foliated garnet-bearing granites (the non-HP country rocks). It supports the “in situ” interpretation. Anatexis occurred under conditions of amphibolite-facies metamorphism at lower to middle crustal levels. This partial melting associated with decompression is one of the most important physico-chemical processes that postdate the collisional event in the Dabieshan. It signaled the evolution of the deformation regime from compression to extension, and reflected thinning of the continental crust and rapid uplift of UHP metamorphic rocks to middle to lower crustal levels by regional-scale extension.     

Two Discrete UHP and HP Metamorphic Belts in the Central Orogenic Belt, China

INTRODUCTION Anew ultrahigh pressure ( UHP) metamorphicbelt ,the South Altun-North Qaidam-North QinlingUHP metamorphic belt ,has been recently discoveredand widely discussed by different workers (Yang J Set al .,2003 ,2002 ,2001 ,2000 ,1998 ;Zhang J Xetal .,2002 ,1999 ; Zhang G et al .,2001 ; Hu et al .,1996 ,1995 ,1994) . Detailed studies have also beencarried out onthe Dabie-Sulu UHP/ HP metamorphicbelt inthe central orogenic belt (COB) of China (Gaoet al .,2002 ;Sun et al …     

The formation of foliated (garnet-bearing) granites in the Tongbai-Dabie orogenic belt: partial melting of subducted continental crust during exhumation

Foliated (garnet-bearing) (FGB) granites are associated closely with and are usually the major wall rocks of the high-pressure (HP) and ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks in the Tongbai-Dabie region, the mid segment of the Qinling-Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt in central China. These granites appear either as small plutons or as veins, which commonly intrude into or surround the HP and UHP metamorphic eclogites or gneisses. The veins of FGB granites usually penetrate into the retrograded eclogites or gneisses along the foliations. Condensation rims can occasionally be found along the margins of granite veins. These granites are rich in Si and alkali with high Ga/Al ratios, and depleted in Ca, Mg, Al, Ti, Sc, V, Ni, Co, Cr and Sr, which are similar to A-type granites. In a chondrite normalized diagram, the samples are light rare earth elements enriched with different extent of negative Eu anomaly. Moreover, Rb, Nb, Ta, Sr, P and Ti show different degrees of negative anomalies, whereas Ba, K, La, Zr and Hf show positive anomalies in the primitive mantle normalized diagram. Negative anomalies of Eu and Sr indicate strong influence of plagioclase. In conventional discrimination diagrams, these FGB granites belong to the A-type granite, with geochemical characteristics affinitive to post-collisional granites. The εNd (230 Ma) values (−15.80 to −2.52) and T _DM values (1.02–2.07 Ga) suggest that magma for the FGB granites were derived from a heterogeneous crustal source. Therefore, the FGB granites may provide clues for deciphering the formation of post-collisional granites. It is proposed that the magma of the FGB granites both in the HP and UHP units was formed in an extensional tectonic setting slightly post-dating the HP and UHP metamorphism, most likely as a result of decompressional partial melting of UHP retrograded eclogites during exhumation.     

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.     

桐柏-大别山区高压变质相的构造配置

作为华北和扬子陆块间的碰撞造山带桐柏大别山区以发育高压、超高压变质带为特征,从南到北变质相从低级到高级,代表俯冲带深度不同的变质产物,整体形成高压变质相系列。不过现今各变质相岩石的分布极受后期地壳规模的伸展构造控制,大别杂岩的穹隆作用更使高压变质相带的空间分布复杂化。超高压变质岩今日多呈大小不等的块体嵌布于相对低压的大别杂岩之内,造山带根部物质的热软化,使许多深层地幔物质得以像挤牙膏一样挤出于大别杂岩内。它们之中广泛发育着减压退变质的显微结构,与大别杂岩内一些麻粒岩相表壳岩所保存的减压退变质证迹一样,同是挤出作用和碰撞后隆升的构造证迹。高压相系的发育使南桐柏山和大别山迥然不同于桐商（ 商丹） 断裂以北的北秦岭北淮阳变质带。新近发表的同位素年代学（４０Ａｒ ３９ Ａｒ） 资料：３１６ ～４３４ Ｍａ ,已证明北秦岭是古生代变质带,它与桐柏－ 大别印支期碰撞造山带差异甚大。这两个变质地温梯度差异甚大的变质地体的拼合,说明华北和扬子陆块碰撞的主缝合带是商丹－ 桐商断裂带     

河南木厂河区银、金、铜矿床的构造控矿特征

河南木厂河地区,位于秦岭-大别山中央造山带的东部,桐柏-大别构造亚带东段。区内以长期活动的NWW-近EW向深大断裂及派生的NWW向,SN向断裂以及平行于东部郯庐断裂带的NE向断裂为主要特征,褶皱表现为形态复杂的宽缓线形。通过调查研究,确认了木厂河矿区存在三个构造岩石单元:核杂岩单元(CC)、超高压单元(UHP)、高压单元(HP).各单元之间发育有大型的拆离断层,有利于成矿元素富集。本区矿床的形成与大别山超高压变质带折返后的伸展拆离作用密切相关。矿体形成部位主要在核杂岩单元之上,超高压单元之下的拆离断层带。拆离断层对本区的矿化起了重要的控制作用。

武当-桐柏-大别成矿带铜矿成矿规律

武当-桐柏-大别成矿带可分为南秦岭造山带、北淮阳构造带、桐柏-大别构造带三个二级构造单元,在南秦岭造山带广泛分布变质热液型铜矿,北淮阳构造带内产出VMS型、岩浆熔离型及斑岩型铜矿,桐柏-大别构造带则分布有岩浆热液型和矽卡岩型铜矿。构造单元的性质对区内产出的铜矿类型具有较强的控制作用。变质热液型铜矿主要与浅变质作用有关,变质流体以断层为运移通道并最终就位于黑色岩系内的次级断层。VMS型、岩浆熔离型、斑岩型铜矿与岩浆作用密切相关,产出在岩体内部及与围岩的接触带。岩浆热液型及矽卡岩型铜矿形成于岩浆作用晚期阶段,分布在岩体与围岩接触带及附近构造裂隙带等部位。     

New Findings in High-Pressure and Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphic Belt of Tongbaishan-Dabieshan Regions, Central China

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.     

Geochronology and geochemistry of metamorphic rocks in the Jiaobei terrane: Constraints on its tectonic affinity in the Sulu orogen

Tectonic affinity of tectono-lithological units close to ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belt is a key issue for understanding the geodynamics of continental collision. This is particularly so for the Jiaobei terrane northeast of the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt in China. New data from LA-ICPMS zircon U–Pb dating, whole-rock elements and Nd–Sr isotopes, and mineral O isotopes are presented for metamorphic rocks from this terrane. The results place geochronological and geochemical constraints on their protolith nature and metamorphic timing and thus on its tectonic affinity to one of the two Triassic collided continents, the North and the South China Blocks. Protolith ages for TTG gneiss, amphibolite and mafic granulite are ∼2.7, ∼2.5 and ∼2.4 Ga, respectively; regional metamorphism took place extensively at ∼1.76 Ga. Protolith of the TTG gneiss was generated by partial melting of mantle-derived rocks at the root of a thickened crust. Protolith of the amphibolite was probably a product of arc-like magmatism; protolith of the mafic granulite was derived from a depleted mantle source. Both of them were locally contaminated by supracrustal materials. Protoliths of paragneiss and schist in the Fenzishan Group were mostly derived from supracrustal sources, but protolith of amphibolite in the Fenzishan Group is of mantle-derived signature. Unlike the UHP metaigneous rocks in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt that show unusual ¹⁸O-depletion, the Jiaobei metamorphic rocks have basically preserved their original mantle-like O isotope compositions. In general, the nature and timing of geological events recorded in the metamorphic rocks from the Jiaobei terrane are comparable with those from the North China Block rather than the South China Block. Thus, the Jiaobei terrane is concluded to have tectonic affinity to the former, but behave like a micro-continent during the Triassic continental collision. The ∼1.76 Ga regional metamorphism in the Jiaobei terrane is likely related to reworking of the arc-continent collisional orogen in the periphery of the North China Block rather than the ∼1.85 Ga collision event between the eastern and western North China Blocks. The present study lends support to the common assumption that the suture boundary between the North and South China Blocks in the Sulu orogen is located along the Wulian-Yantai fault. Tectonic mingling along the Wulian-Yantai fault is probably related to subduction erosion during the continental collision.

Ultrahigh Pressure Metamorphism and Tectonic Evolution of Southwestern Tianshan Orogenic Belt,China: A Comprehensive Review

Recently, a huge ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt of oceanic‐type has been recognized in southwestern (SW) Tianshan, China. Petrological studies show that the UHP metamorphic rocks of SW Tianshan orogenic belt include mafic eclogites and blueschists, felsic garnet phengite schists, marbles and serpentinites. The well‐preserved coesite inclusions were commonly found in eclogites, garnet phengite schists and marbles. Ti‐clinohumite and Ti‐chondrodite have been identified in UHP metamorphic serpentinites. Based on the PT pseudosection calculation and combined U‐Pb zircon dating, the P‐T‐t path has been outlined as four stages: cold subduction to UHP conditions before ～320 Ma whose peak ultrahigh pressure is about 30 kbar at 500oC, heating decompression from the Pmax to the Tmax stage before 305 Ma whose peak temperature is about 600oC at 22kbar, then the early cold exhumation from amphibolite eclogite facies to epidote‐amphibolite facies metamorphism characterized by ITD PT path before 220 Ma and the last tectonic exhumation from epidote amphibolite facies to greenschist facies metamorphism. Combining with the syn‐subduction arc‐like 333‐326 Ma granitic rocks and 280‐260 Ma S‐type granites in the coeval low‐pressure and high‐temperature (LP‐HT) metamorphic belt, the tectonic evolution of Tianshan UHP metamorphic belt during late Cambrian to early Triassic has been proposed.

秦岭造山带是印支碰撞造山带吗?

国内外一些学者认为秦岭是一个印支碰撞造山带.但迄今为止,秦岭尚未发现三叠纪或古生代延续到三叠纪的洋盆存在的任何痕迹.秦岭泥盆系-三叠系为滨、浅海相沉积,没有远洋沉积,更没有镁铁质和超镁铁质岩石及与之密切相关的放射虫硅质岩组成的蛇绿岩套.泥盆系与下伏地质体之间有一个清楚的区域性角度不整合.商丹断裂并不是印支期,而是加里东期的板块缝合带;其两侧,中朝板块南缘和扬子板块北缘均有十分清楚的加里东造山作用的记录.沉积于扬子板块北缘的中上泥盆统刘岭群的放射性铅同位素组成与北秦岭相近,碎屑锆石年龄谱系亦证明其物质主要来自中朝板块南缘的北秦岭造山带.所谓勉略印支缝合带中的勉略和三里岗蛇绿混杂岩中的镁铁质岩,同位素测年均为元古代之产物,后者又被南华系-震旦系沉积覆盖.所谓勉略缝合带,实为一区域性大断裂带.早古生代,其北侧属扬子板块北部被动边缘;南侧为扬子板块核心部分的扬子准地台(小克拉通).所以,秦岭的印支造山作用,并不是洋盆消失后的陆陆碰撞造山作用,而是海盆消失后的中朝与扬子2个小陆块间逆冲-叠覆造山作用.作为秦岭东延的大别山超高压变质带被认为是秦岭印支碰撞造山的重要证据之一,但大别山超高压变质岩是在造山作用过程中动态超高压条件下形成的,仅用简单的静岩压力来计算其形成深度,显然是不符合实际情况的.野外地质观察、构造地质学、变质岩石学、同位素地质学、地球化学、地球物理学以及物理实验等方面的实际资料和研究结果均说明超高压变质作用并不是在上地幔而是在地壳内进行的.南秦岭-大别山的地壳构造层次,上地壳自上而下依次为:未变质的沉积岩层、绿帘-蓝片岩层、高压变质岩层、超高压变质岩层;下地壳为未卷入超高压变质作用的麻粒岩相-高角闪岩相变质杂岩.含柯石英的超高压单位只是位于上地壳下部的厚约10～12km的席状构造岩片.初步认为上地壳这一从低压到高压再到超高压的构造系统,是印支造山期间,南秦岭-大别山的上地壳以下地壳顶部为主剪切滑动面,多层次剪切作用造成的.上地壳下部的超高压变质岩,则可能是强烈剪切引起的频繁地震的震源区瞬时超高压作用的结果.     

大别造山带地壳泊松比结构与超高压变质带—来自宽角反射与近垂直反射剖面的启示

综合宽角反射、近垂直反射的探测结果和有关地质资料，对大别造山带地壳结构和超高压变质带研究显示：大别造山带地壳具有层块结构特征。沿安义－庄墓剖面，上地壳有7个弹性块体，中地壳有5个，下地壳有4个。扬子与华北地块的主缝合带是超高压变质带，扬子地块与大别造山带的现今分界线是与郯庐断裂相交的太湖－马庙断裂，磨子潭－晓天断裂是大别造山带的北界，北淮阳构造带呈楔状向下插入，它与华北地块的分界是肥中断裂。郯庐断裂在中、上地壳近于直立，下地壳向西倾斜。超高压变质带的厚度为5－7km，产状向北插入到北大别块体之下，折返过程是构造就位，不是大别山的均匀抬升，折返的主运动面是水吼－五河高温剪切带。
