中国东部岩石圈减薄时间的制约及构造控制因素探讨

华北地块中生代含幔源包体玄武岩同位素年龄、岩石化学、地球化学及Sr-Nd同位素研究成果表明:119 Ma~110 Ma之间华北地块岩石圈地幔性质由富集型岩石圈地幔转化为亏损的软流圈地幔,岩石圈地幔性质的显著变化,说明中国东部岩石圈减薄的主要时间发生在早白垩世晚期119~100 Ma之间。中生代古太平洋伊泽奈崎大洋板块(Izanagi Plate)向欧亚板块俯冲所导致的拆沉,应是岩石圈减薄的重要控制因素。     

中国东部岩石圈减薄研究中的几个问题

中国东部岩石圈减薄是近 10年来国内外研究的热门课题 ,但关于岩石圈减薄的具体时间、机制及其构造控制因素 ,多有争论。根据目前的研究资料 ,文中对上述问题进行了全面的讨论。初步认为该岩石圈减薄发生在晚中生代 ,且在 12 0～ 130Ma的早白垩世达到高潮。综合分析认为 ,岩石圈的减薄与东侧太平洋板块的俯冲有关 ,即大洋板块的俯冲作用导致岩石圈加厚 ,进而发生岩石圈拆沉。Os同位素资料显示 ,由地幔橄榄岩包体所反映的新生代岩石圈地幔具有年轻性质 ,与古生代时的岩石圈地幔截然不同。因此笔者认为 ,中国东部现今的岩石圈地幔并不是减薄后的残留 ,它表明中生代时 ,岩石圈地幔和部分下地壳一起通过拆沉作用而沉入软流圈地幔 ,由此而导致软流圈地幔与地壳的直接接触。幔源岩浆的底侵及软流圈对地壳的直接加热作用 ,使上覆地壳发生大规模的岩浆和成矿作用 ,并导致中国东部中生代时期伸展构造的广泛发育。     

从高分辨率地震层析成像看青藏高原软流圈的物质运动

通过分辨率达到0.5°×0.5°×10 km的青藏高原地壳与上地幔三维成像,为研究青藏高原在新生代的动力学作用提供了新的认识.软流圈的波速扰动数据证实,特提斯大洋板块在拆沉后只俯冲到410 km的间断面之上,并不是所有的大洋板块都会俯冲到上地幔底部.这种大洋板块在软流圈拆沉后激发的热流体上涌,造成高原中部大规模的火山喷发,是青藏高原隆升的主要动力来源之一.根据上地幔三维地震层析成像结果定量计算了岩石圈-软流圈界面（LAB）的深度,揭示了软流圈地幔物质的上涌或者岩石圈地块下沉的作用布局,表明青藏高原的东部在新生代动力学作用过程中是一个相对独立的岩石圈地幔块体.      

藏北岩石圈厚度与减薄机制分析

天然地震S波和大地电磁测深给出了两种不同的藏北岩石圈厚度模型,两种测量结果的地质含义至今还不十分清楚。通过对地表高程与地壳厚度回归关系的研究,以回归直线的斜率和截距作为地壳和岩石圈地幔平均密度取值的约束,并考虑相变因素对软流圈密度的影响,采用均衡理论对藏北岩石圈厚度进行了计算。计算结果表明,在可能的软流圈温度取值范围内藏北岩石圈的平均厚度约为106～120km,地壳增厚前的岩石圈平均厚度约80km。藏北新生代火山作用和岩浆起源-分凝深度分析表明,藏北现今岩石圈厚度主要受金云母脱水深度所控制。增厚前岩石圈地幔底部温度高于橄榄岩湿固相线温度,并受闪石和金云母高压脱水作用的影响。加厚岩石圈地幔因其底部不断发生脱水低程度熔融而进入软流圈小尺度对流体系,使岩石圈加厚过程中伴随有底部的脉动减薄作用。     

华北地块东部晚中生代至新生代岩石圈不均一减薄与改造模式

本文综合运用不同时代幔源包体平衡温压对比、玄武岩地球化学性质对岩石圈厚度的反演以及不同时代岩石圈地幔地球化学性质的对比的方法，把华北地块东部岩石圈的减薄时间限定在晚中生代至新生代之间。减薄的机制可能是华北东部地区晚白垩世以来大陆岩石圈的拉张作用。由于机械性拉薄和热、机械和化学侵蚀作用，岩石圈厚度最终减薄到70km以下。但古老的岩石圈地幔并没有完全因减薄而消失，残留部分受到了来自软流圈物质的强烈改造，使其Sr、Nd同位素组成类似于软流圈，但Os同位素没有受到明显的改变。改造后的岩石圈地幔成为华北地块东部新生代岩石圈地幔的主体。在时空上，岩石圈的减薄具有不均一的性质。     

塔里木盆地与天山山脉晚新生代盆山耦合机制

根据塔里木盆地北缘地质构造几何学和运动学资料、油气勘探地震剖面、人工地震测深、地震层析成像以及地热资料,提出了塔里木盆地、准噶尔盆地岩石圈地幔在天山岩石圈之下碰撞并发生拆沉的盆山耦合机制的概念模型。由于印藏碰撞,青藏高原的北部前缘岩石圈地幔与塔里木盆地岩石圈地幔形成V字形碰撞结构,推动塔里木地块的高强度岩石圈向北运动并俯冲到天山岩石圈之下,以水平俯冲作用在中天山北缘岩石圈之下与准噶尔盆地向南俯冲的岩石圈地幔碰撞,并发生后剥拆离。塔里木岩石圈俯冲的过程中,形成库车再生前陆盆地和再生前陆冲断带以及再生天山山脉。冲断量约为塔里木俯冲量的20％。这一盆山耦合模型可以解释盆地构造、盆地沉降、山脉隆升、岩石圈深部构造和热特征。     

华北东部中生代晚期-新生代软流圈上涌与岩石圈减薄

现今的地幔是由软流圈地幔(热的,主元素饱满、微量元素亏损的,塑性流变性质的)、古老岩石圈地幔(地幔1,冷的,主元素贫瘠、微量元素富集的,刚性的,以方辉橄榄岩为代表)以及现今的岩石圈地幔(地幔2,主元素饱满、微量元素亏损,以二辉橄榄岩为代表,可能包括多时期形成的)组成。古老岩石圈地幔与地幔2样品的共存、100~4·3Ma在地幔内部持续发生的古老岩石圈与软流圈的相互作用以及上述作用的时空不均一性,都表明了岩石圈减薄是软流圈呈“蘑菇云状”大规模上涌的结果。上述事件发生于100Ma以后。软流圈来源的玄武岩大范围喷发并伴随了岩石圈的强烈拉伸是事件发生的主要标志,岩石圈减薄是一个深部地质过程,不像是突发事件。     

南海北部及其沿岸中、新生代壳幔相互作用与构造演化——纪念“陆缘扩张带”概念的倡导者陈国达教授

新生代火山岩中的深源捕虏体资料反映,南海北部及其沿岸地区岩石圈地幔的主体由主量元素易熔组分相对饱满的、同位素组成类似MORB-OIB型的、高温型的二辉橄榄岩所组成;但在其顶部残留有古老的岩石圈地幔,它由主量元素易熔组分相对贫瘠的、同位素组成类似EM型的、较低温的方辉橄榄岩组成。在下地壳底部,分布着由晚中生代幔源岩浆分离结晶和堆晶的基性麻粒岩。由此提出了该区中、新生代壳 -幔或岩石圈 -软流圈相互作用与构造演化的简略模式: (1)印支期 -燕山早期为地壳岩石圈厚度增大的华夏型后地台活化造山带环境;(2)燕山晚期岩石圈快速减薄(如拆沉作用),造山带拉伸塌陷,地壳深处并发生广泛的底侵作用; (3)始新世 -渐新世软流圈再次上涌(如地幔柱的影响),岩石圈地幔发生底蚀减薄,地壳也因为下部层的塑性流展和上部层的张裂拉伸而减薄; (4)中新世以来,由于地幔热源在拉伸环境中被释放,壳幔发生冷却,部分软流圈地幔转化为“新生的”岩石圈地幔。研究进一步说明,南海北部陆缘扩张是该区大陆构造演化到大陆活化造山带后期,在深部壳 -幔的相互作用下,岩石圈所发生的垂向减薄和侧向伸展,既不同于弧后扩张,也不是受控于大西洋式的海底扩张。     

辽西100Ma火山事件的动力学过程及其构造背景

通过辽西及邻区106Ma 来源于软流圈亏损地幔玄武岩的年代学及玄武岩底部不整合面的研究,认识到:(1)这一时期伴随岩石圈地幔物质的更新,存在着"岩浆间隙"和强烈构造运动的现象,从而推断软流圈底辟体上涌、岩石圈减薄、岩浆活动间隙、强烈构造运动这四者之间的因果关系,其中被软流圈熔体带上来的物质和热能是主导因素,岩石圈减薄是关键;(2)106Na 与116Ma、93Ma、80Ma、45Ma 火山岩之间的对比研究,表明106Ma 开始的岩石圈地幔的更新是一个漫长的不可逆转的过程。(3)通过本区火山岩的演变与相邻大洋板块同期热扩张历史的对比研究,推测晚中生代(120～80Ma)大洋与大陆岩石圈板块同步的演化特征可能反映了它们共同受到岩石圈板块之下同一深部热扰动的控制。     

胶东～120Ma软流圈来源的岩浆岩:对华北岩石圈减薄机制的新制约

华北克拉通东部在中生代期间遭受了强烈破坏和大规模岩石圈减薄已是不争的事实,但关于岩石圈减薄的机制还存在激烈的争论,主要有机械热侵蚀[1-7]和拆沉作用[8-14]两种动力学模式,前者代表一个长期的过程持续长达100 Ma,后者代表一个相对短暂的过程在约10 Ma内完成岩石圈的减薄[13,15]。岩浆源区由岩石圈地幔向软流圈地幔的转换以及软流圈来源岩浆的出现是岩石圈减薄的直接标志。因此,要理解华北岩石圈减薄的机制需要回答两个关键的科学问题:1岩浆源区由岩石圈地幔向软流圈地幔的转换发生在何时;2这一转变过程是一个相对"缓慢"还是"快速"的过程。本研究首次在华北东南缘胶东焦家金矿区识别出两种类型的煌斑岩,即低钛(w(Ti O2)1.1%,Ti/Y270)和高钛煌斑岩(w(Ti O2)2%,Ti/Y370)。低钛煌斑岩富K2O、Mg O、Cr、Ni和Pb,亏损高场强元素,类似于与俯冲有关的岛弧玄武岩;而高钛煌斑岩富Na2O、Ti O2、TFe2O3、Al2O3、Nb和Ta,亏损Pb,表现出与洋岛玄武岩相似的地球化学特征。低钛煌斑岩起源于含角闪石的富集岩石圈地幔的部分熔融;高钛煌斑岩起源于岩石圈下俯对流软流圈的部分熔融。锆石U-Pb定年结果显示,焦家低钛和高钛煌斑岩同时形成于~120 Ma。统计已有的年代学资料后发现,华北克拉通东部岩石圈地幔来源的岩浆岩集中分布在早白垩世,峰期在130~120 Ma。随后才出现少量的软流圈来源的岩浆岩,年龄分布在107~73 Ma。焦家高钛煌斑岩是目前为止发现最早的软流圈地幔来源的岩石,它的出现是华北克拉通东南缘早白垩世岩石圈减薄的直接证据。低钛和高钛煌斑岩的同时出现记录了华北克拉通东南缘中生代岩浆源区由岩石圈地幔向软流圈地幔的快速转换,暗示岩石圈在~120 Ma发生了快速减薄的拆沉作用[13-14]。     

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.     

Quaternary stresses revealed by calcite twinning inversion: insights from observations in the Savonnières underground quarry (eastern France)

Calcite samples were extracted both from the rock matrix and the superficial coating of a karstified fault plane of an underground quarry, located in the eastern border of the Paris basin. The karstification is dated as Quaternary. Analysis of mechanical calcite twinning reveals that only the calcite matrix has also undergone a compression trending WNW that can be attributed to the Mio-Pliocene alpine collision. Both coating and matrix have undergone a strike-slip regime with σ₁ roughly trending north–south, that could correspond to the regional present-day state of stress, a strike-slip compression rather trending NNW, modified by local phenomena.
