SOVETSKAYA GEOLOGIYA (SOVIET GEOLOGY) IN COVER-TO-COVER TRANSLATION, 1960, NOS. 11 AND 12

The Río Negro-Juruena Province (RNJP) occupies a large portion of the western part of the Amazonian Craton and is a zone of complex granitization and migmatization. Regional metamorphism, in general, occurred in the upper amphibolite facies. The granites and gneisses of the RNJP yield Rb-Sr and Pb-Pb whole-rock isochron dates ranging from 1.8 Ga to 1.55 Ga, with initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of ～ 0.703 and a single-stage model μ₁ value of ～ 8.1. In order to improve the geochronological control, SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages, conventional U-Pb zircon ages, and additional Pb-Pb whole-rock isochron ages were determined for samples of granitoids and gneisses from the Papuri-Uaupés and Guaviare-Orinoco rivers areas (northern part of the province) and Jamari-Machado rivers and Pontes de Lacerda areas (southern part). The granitoids from the northern part of the province yield conventional U-Pb zircon ages of 1709 ± 17 Ma and 1521 ± 31 Ma, and SHRIMP U-Pb concordant zircon results of 1800 ± 18 Ma. Samples of gneissic rocks from the southern part of the RNJP yielded SHRIMP U-Pb concordant ages of 1750 ± 24 Ma and 1570 ± 17 Ma and a Pb-Pb whole-rock isochron age of 1717 ± 120 Ma. These new U-Pb and Pb-Pb results confirm the previous Rb-Sr and Pb-Pb geochronological evidence that the main magmatic episodes within the RNJP occurred between 1.8 and 1.55 Ga, and suggest that this crustal province constitutes a segment of continental crust newly added to the Amazonian Craton at the end of the Early Proterozoic. In the area of the RNJP, there are several anorogenic rapakivi-type granite plutons. Because of the absence of recognized Archean material within the basement rocks, it is reasonable to consider the Early to Middle Proterozoic continental crust as the magmatic source for the rapakivi granite intrusions.     

Zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope constraints on Archean crustal evolution in Southeastern Guyana Shield

The southeastern Guyana Shield,northeast Amazonian Craton,in the north of Brazil,is part of a widespread orogenic belt developed during the Transamazonian orogenic cycle(2.26-1.95 Ga)that includes a large Archean continental landmass strongly reworked during the Transamazonian orogeny,named Amapa Block.It consists mainly of a high-grade metamorphic granulitic-migmatitic-gneiss complex,of Meso-to Neoarchean age and Rhyacian granitoids and supracrustal sequences.For the first time,coupled U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope data were obtained on zircon by LA-ICP-MS from five tectono-stratigraphic units of the Archean basement and one Paleoproterozoic intrusive rock,in order to investigate the main episodes of crustal growth and reworking.Whole-rock Sm-Nd isotope data were compared to the zircon Lu-Hf data.Three main magmatic episodes were defined by U-Pb zircon dating,two in the Mesoarchean(~3.19 Ga and 2.85 Ga)and one in the Neoarchean(~2.69-2.65 Ga).SubchondriticεHf(t)values obtained for almost all investigated units indicate that crustal reworking processes were predominant during the formation of rocks that today make up the Amapa Block.Hf-TDMC model ages,ranging from2.99 Ga to 3.97 Ga,indicate that at least two important periods of mantle extraction and continental crust formation occurred during the Archean in southeastern Guyana Shield,an older one in the Eoarchean(~4.0 Ga)and a younger one in the Mesoarchean(~3.0-3.1 Ga).The latter is recognized as an important period of crustal accretion worldwide.The recognition of an Eoarchean episode to the southeastern most part of the Guyana Shield is unprecedented and was not recorded by whole-rock Sm-Nd data,which were restricted to the Meso-Paleoarchean(2.83 Ga to 3.51 Ga).This finding reveals t hat continental crust generation in the Amazonian Craton began at least 500 Ma earlier than previously suggested by the SmNd systematics.     

龙泉关剪切带眼球状花岗质片麻岩锆石U-Pb年代学和Lu-Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

恒山五台阜平地区地处华北克拉通中部造山带的中段,早前寒武纪地体出露较好,是解析华北克拉通早前寒武纪演化过程的最佳地段。龙泉关剪切带位于五台杂岩和阜平杂岩的交接部位,其主要岩石类型为眼球状花岗质片麻岩、变粒岩和斜长角闪岩。本文利用LA-ICP-MS方法对龙泉关剪切带中的眼球状花岗质片麻岩进行了锆石U-Pb年龄和Lu-Hf同位素的测试。结果显示,龙泉关眼球状花岗质片麻岩原岩结晶年龄为(2 547±7) Ma,其εHf(t)值介于+2.7~+9.2,表明其源区主要为相对年轻的地壳物质,与五台地区新太古代花岗岩非常相似。龙泉关花岗质眼球状片麻岩中锆石两阶段Hf模式年龄(TDM2)为2 477~2 872 Ma,具有2.58 Ga、2.71 Ga和2.81 Ga三个峰值,记录了华北克拉通新太古代初始地壳生长事件。     

Mesoarchean sanukitoid rocks of the Rio Maria Granite-Greenstone Terrane,Amazonian craton,Brazil

The Archean sanukitoid Rio Maria Granodiorite yielded zircon ages of ～2.87 Ga and is exposed in large domains of the Rio Maria Granite-Greenstone Terrane, southeastern Amazonian craton. It is intrusive in the greenstone belts of the Andorinhas Supergroup, in the Arco Verde Tonalite and Caracol Tonalitic Complex (older TTGs). Archean potassic leucogranites, younger TTGs and the Paleoproterozoic granites of Jamon Suite are intrusive in the Rio Maria Granodiorite.The more abundant rocks of the Rio Maria Granodiorite have granodioritic composition and display medium to coarse even-grained textures. These rocks show generally a gray color with greenish shades due to strongly saussuritized plagioclase, and weak WNW-ESE striking foliation. The significant geochemical contrasts between the occurrences of Rio Maria Granodiorite in different areas suggest that this unit corresponds in fact to a granodioritic suite of rocks derived from similar but distinct magmas. Mingling processes involving the Rio Maria Granodiorite and similar mafic to intermediate magmas are able to explain the constant occurrence of mafic enclaves in the granodiorite.The associated intermediate rocks occur mainly near Bannach, where mostly quartz diorite and quartz monzodiorite are exposed. The dominant rocks are mesocratic, dark-green rocks, with fine to coarse even-grained texture. The Rio Maria Granodiorite and associated intermediate rocks show similar textural and mineralogical aspects. They follow the calc-alkaline series trend in some diagrams. However, they have high-Mg#, Cr, and Ni conjugate with high contents of large ion lithophile elements (LILEs), typical of sanukitoids series. The patterns of rare earth elements of different rocks are similar, with pronounced enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREEs) and strong to moderate fractionation of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs).Field aspects and petrographic and geochemical characteristics denote that the granodiorites and intermediate rocks have sanukitoid affinity. However, geochemical data suggest that the intermediate rocks and the granodiorites are not related by a fractional crystallization process. It is concluded that the intermediate rocks derived from similar sources to the granodiorites, but probably result from a higher degree of melting, being both cogenetic, but not comagmatic rocks.Mineralogical aspects associated with experimental evidence suggest that the Rio Maria Granodiorite magma was relatively water-enriched (>4 wt.%), explaining the presence of hornblende at the liquidus and the absence of clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene in the studied rocks. The occurrence of well-preserved magmatic epidote crystals, admitting that the Rio Maria Granodiorite was emplaced at shallow crustal levels, points to a rapid ascent of the Rio Maria Granodiorite magma.     

河南鲁山地区太华杂岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学及其地质意义

华北克拉通是我国最大且最古老的克拉通,是研究太古宙岩浆活动和构造演化的理想区域,一直备受地质学家的关注。太华杂岩是华北克拉通的重要组成部分,主要分布在其南缘,总体呈近北西西-南东东向分布。在详细野外地质调查的基础上,对鲁山地区太华杂岩中的斜长角闪岩样品进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,以揭示其成岩及变质事件时代。样品的锆石U-Pb加权平均207Pb/206Pb年龄为2 788±16、2 714±12和1 920±18 Ma,分别代表斜长角闪岩成岩年龄、早期变质事件年龄及晚期变质事件年龄。综合梳理前人的锆石U-Pb年代学及Hf同位素研究数据,分析并讨论了3次地质事件的地质意义:2 850~2 700 Ma为一期重要的岩浆事件,代表了太古宙新生地壳的形成;2 800~2 600和~1 900 Ma为两期变质事件,期间太华杂岩分别遭受新太古代和古元古代两次变质变形改造。本次研究不仅可以解释太华杂岩的形成、变质时代及其地质意义,而且为进一步研究华北克拉通南缘乃至整个华北克拉通的形成与演化过程提供了新的数据资料。     

U-Pb (zircon) ages for the gneissic terrane west of the Nile,southern Egypt

The first U-Pb zircon ages are reported for the gneissic bedrock inliers previously interpreted as part of the Nile Craton. The inliers crop out in the Egyptian Western Desert, east of the Uweinat area and west of the Eastern Desert. Multi- and single-grain zircon analyses of granitoid gneiss and migmatite from Gebel Um Shagir, Aswan, and another locality approximately 160 km south-west of Aswan, yield simple discordia with near modern day Pb loss trajectories, and the following Neoproterozoic crystallization ages: 626+4/–3, 634 ± 4 and 741 ± 3 Ma. In contrast, multi- and single-grain U-Pb analyses (zircon and sphene) from an anorthositic gabbro at Gebel Kamil (22°46N 26°21E) and an anorthosite at Gebel El Asr (22°46N 31°10E) yield Archean and Paleoproterozoic emplacement ages. The former yield a crystallization age of > 2.67 Ga and a metamorphic age of 2.0 Ga; the latter a metamorphic age of 0.69 Ga and an inheritance age of 1.9–2.1 Ga. Because high grade gneiss and migmatite of Neoproterozoic, Paleoproterozoic and Archean age crop out west of the Nile, pre-Neoproterozoic crust should no longer be identified by its metamorphic grade. By contrast, mapping the anorthosite and related rocks might provide first-order estimates for the extension of pre-Neoproterozoic crust in north-east Africa. It is suggested that Archean and Paleoproterozoic crust of the Uweinat and Congo Craton are contiguous because these U-Pb (zircon) data show no evidence for a Neoproterozoic thermal overprint in the Gebel Kamil area and there is no pronounced Neoproterozoic magmatic activity south of the Uweinat inlier and north of the Congo Craton.     

Detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology of stromatolitic carbonates from the greenstone belts of Dharwar Craton and Cuddapah basin of Peninsular India

Oldest rocks are sparsely distributed within the Dharwar Craton and little is known about their involvement in the sedimentary sequences which are present in the Archean greenstone successions and the Proterozoic Cuddapah basin.Stromatolitic carbonates are well preserved in the Neoarchean greenstone belts of Dharwar Craton and Cuddapah Basin of Peninsular India displaying varied morphological and geochemical characteristics.In this study,we report results from U-Pb geochronology and trace element composition of the detrital zircons from stromatolitic carbonates present within the Dharwar Craton and Cuddapah basin to understand the provenance and time of accretion and deposition.The UPb ages of the detrital zircons from the Bhimasamudra and Marikanve stromatolites of the Chitradurga greenstone belt of Dharwar Craton display ages of 3426±26 Ma to 2650±38 Ma whereas the Sandur stromatolites gave an age of 3508±29 Ma to 2926±36 Ma suggesting Paleo-to Neoarchean provenance.The U-Pb detrital zircons of the Tadpatri stromatolites gave an age of 2761±31 Ma to1672±38 Ma suggesting Neoarchean to Mesoproterozoic provenance.The Rare Earth Element(REE)patterns of the studied detrital zircons from Archean Dharwar Craton and Proterozoic Cuddapah basin display depletion in light rare earth elements(LREE)and enrichment in heavy rare earth elements(HREE)with pronounced positive Ce and negative Eu anomalies,typical of magmatic zircons.The trace element composition and their relationship collectively indicate a mixed granitoid and mafic source for both the Dharwar and Cuddapah stromatolites.The 3508±29 Ma age of the detrital zircons support the existence of 3.5 Ga crust in the Western Dharwar Craton.The overall detrital zircon ages(3.5-2.7 Ga)obtained from the stromatolitic carbonates of Archean greenstone belts and Proterozoic Cuddapah basin(2.7-1.6 Ga)collectively reflect on^800-900 Ma duration for the Precambrian stromatolite deposition in the Dharwar Craton.     

塔里木克拉通北缘的前寒武纪构造热事件——新疆库尔勒铁门关高级变质岩的锆石U-Pb年代学限定

本文对位于塔里木盆地北缘库尔勒铁门关地区高级变质岩中的锆石进行了U-Pb年代学研究。研究结果表明,铁门关地区的变质岩由片麻岩、片岩、角闪岩和钙硅酸盐组成,普遍经历了角闪岩相变质作用,矿物组合为斜长石+钾长石+石英+黑云母±白云母±角闪石±石榴石。锆石U-Pb定年分析揭示出三期构造热事件:古元古代早期(~2370Ma)的岩浆事件、古元古代晚期(1890~1850Ma)的变质事件,和新元古代早期(980~910Ma)变质事件。这些结果为塔里木克拉通的前寒武纪构造演化提供了新的限定。     

冀北崇礼红旗营子岩群中镁铁质岩石地球化学和年代学研究:对华北克拉通新太古代晚期-古元古代早期大地构造演化的启示

崇礼地区红旗营子岩群位于华北克拉通北缘,该区红旗营子岩群的岩石组合、构造属性及时代归属对于探讨华北克拉通新太古代晚期－古元古代早期大地构造演化具有重要意义.本文对崇礼地区红旗营子岩群中的镁铁质岩石进行了野外、镜下岩相学、全岩地球化学、锆石U-Pb年代学及Hf同位素分析,并讨论其对华北克拉通北缘新太古代晚期－古元古代早期地壳演化的指示意义.研究区红旗营子岩群中的镁铁质岩石以夹层产出于表壳岩中,主要由斜长角闪岩和斜长辉石角闪岩组成.红旗营子镁铁质岩石主量元素中SiO₂（40.17%~51.53%）、Na₂O（1.52%~3.47%）和K₂O（0.43%~1.23%）含量范围较大,具有较高的CaO（9.15%~12.68%）、MgO（5.90%~13.36%）和Al₂O₃（9.81%~20.92%）含量.镁铁质岩石轻稀土元素轻微富集,重稀土元素配分模式近平坦,大离子亲石元素Ba、U、K、Sr富集,高场强元素Th、Nb、Ta、Ti明显亏损.斜长角闪岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年显示207Pb/206Pb加权平均年龄为2 477±23 Ma（MSWD=3.1）,上交点年龄为2 468±22 Ma,表明其形成于新太古代晚期－古元古代早期.斜长角闪岩锆石Hf同位素分析结果显示ε_Hf（t）为负值（-5.2~0）,一阶段模式年龄（T_DM1）为2 673~2 783 Ma,二阶段模式年龄（T_DM2）为2 880~3 074 Ma,均大于锆石的形成年龄,指示其来源于古老地壳物质的再循环.镁铁质岩石全岩地球化学分析结果显示其形成于岛弧相关环境.结合华北其他地区研究成果,本研究表明崇礼地区新太古代晚期－古元古代早期可能发生了一期与岛弧有关的岩浆事件.      

内蒙古西拉木伦河两岸志留-泥盆系碎屑锆石年龄及其构造意义

为了通过碎屑岩的物源对比讨论古亚洲洋的闭合过程,笔者选择西拉木伦河北侧林西双井子地区和南侧奈曼旗下石碑地区的志留纪地层进行碎屑岩锆石U-Pb年代学研究。北侧样品LX0831-11为粉砂质板岩,采于西拉木伦河北岸上志留统杏树洼组。碎屑锆石年龄分为三组:385~531Ma(N=52)、872~1097Ma(N=11)、1344~1901Ma(N=11),碎屑锆石的最小年龄限定地层沉积下限为中-晚泥盆世。南侧样品130417-06为石英岩屑砂岩,采于奈曼旗下石碑组顶部砂岩中。碎屑锆石年龄分为四组:370~523Ma(N=34)、884~1481Ma(N=21)、1573~1900Ma(N=6)、2369~2588Ma(N=8),碎屑锆石的最小年龄限定地层沉积下限为晚泥盆世。这两个分别来自西拉木伦河南、北两侧原志留纪样品,显示一致的志留-泥盆纪及晚元古代碎屑锆石年龄谱,表明两者从泥盆纪开始即具有相同的沉积物源;而代表兴蒙造山带的元古代碎屑锆石在奈曼旗地区的出现,说明泥盆纪以来兴蒙造山带的剥蚀物已到达华北板块北缘。因此,本次碎屑锆石年代学研究暗示华北板块与其北部松辽地块在中-晚泥盆世之前已经完成拼合过程,即此时两者间已不存在古亚洲洋。     

鲁西杨庄条带状铁建造特征及锆石年代学研究

泰山群主要分布于鲁西地区中部,是鲁西花岗-绿岩带的一个重要组成部分。近年来,在沂水县杨庄发现了一定规模的沉积变质铁矿,铁矿层位赋存于柳杭岩组上段的斜长角闪岩段内。本文对杨庄铁矿BIF及侵入地层的岩浆岩进行锆石年代学测定,测定的含磁铁矿斜长角闪岩中锆石U-Pb年龄数据主要集中在2.6Ga附近,确定斜长角闪岩的形成年龄为2615±61Ma;铁矿顶板黑云母石英片岩的形成年龄小于2527±66Ma,该岩段又被晚期混合花岗岩穿插,其锆石年龄测定结果为2469±34Ma,所以推测黑云母石英片岩的形成年龄在2.5Ga附近。据此我们认为鲁西地区的"柳杭岩组"似可近一步解体为新太古的斜长角闪岩段(含磁铁矿建造)和古元古的表壳岩段(以片岩系为主)。混合花岗岩的形成年龄属于古元古代早期,似乎可以填补全球地质演化的静寂期 (2.3~2.5Ga)。以泰山群为代表的变质岩系在地下较深部位出现或者被中晚元古代盖层覆盖,为探讨华北克拉通早期演化和开展华北克拉通BIF型铁矿研究具有重要意义。     

胶北太古宙早期锆石U-Pb定年及Hf同位素研究：华北克拉通古老陆壳增生及再循环的证据

古老陆壳物质的发现与鉴别是探索地球早期陆壳形成与演化历史的重要内容之一,锆石U-Pb年龄结合Hf同位素研究是该研究的重要手段。本文通过对胶北地体内一个长英质副片麻岩中的锆石开展系统的原位U-Pb定年和微量、稀土元素分析,获得了多个太古宙早期的锆石。根据这些锆石的阴极发光图像、Th/U比值及稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分模式,它们具有典型岩浆锆石的特征,其中2个分析点给出了3413Ma和3400Ma(~3.4Ga)的锆石U-Pb年龄,7个分析点给出3547±19Ma(MSWD=1.16)的锆石U-Pb年龄,指示太古宙早期的陆壳岩浆事件;结合华北克拉通其它地区的类似研究结果,暗示华北克拉通可能曾经存在比现今出露面积更大的太古宙早期的古老陆壳。这些古老锆石的Hf同位素分析显示,它们的εHf(t)值在-6.19~0.95之间,平均为-2.54,两阶段Hf模式年龄在3737~4353Ma之间,平均值为~4.1Ga,远大于锆石的U-Pb年龄,指示华北克拉通存在~4.1Ga的地壳增生作用及古老陆壳(3.55Ga)的再循环。     

塔里木盆地沙雅隆起北部三道桥地区前震旦纪基底岩浆岩特征与锆石U-Pb年龄研究

对塔里木盆地北部三道桥地区前震旦纪基底的岩浆岩进行岩石学分析及时代限定研究。研究区前震旦纪基底的岩浆岩主要由钾长花岗岩、石英二长岩及角闪二辉岩组成。钾长花岗岩局部受断裂影响,发生碎裂化作用,形成碎裂化钾长花岗岩。通过对Qg2、Qg3、S53及Qg4井4口钻井的4个岩心样品进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究,获得钾长花岗岩、石英二长岩及碎裂钾长花岗岩年龄分别为1846±1Ma、1791±1Ma、1824±2Ma,代表了古元古代岩浆岩的变质年龄;角闪二辉岩年龄为879±4Ma,代表了中新元古代火山侵入年龄。说明塔里木盆地沙雅隆起北部存在前震旦纪古老基底,这些结果也为塔里木克拉通的前寒武纪构造演化提供了新的限定。     

藏北羌塘地块中部蓝片岩中捕获锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年及其意义

羌塘中部2个蓝片岩样品中锆石的SHRIMp U-Pb定年结果表明,锆石属于残留锆石,不是蓝片岩相变质作用形成的新生锆石,这些年龄代表源区原岩的年龄或原岩捕获锆石的年龄,是不同构造-热事件的响应。首次在藏北羌塘地区获得了锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄2533Ma,说明这颗锆石来自新太古代,虽然不一定源自本地,但至少暗示羌塘地区新太古代曾经可能发生过构造-热事件。     

朝鲜狼林地块东南缘太古宙岩石及其对古元古代构造热事件的响应

朝鲜狼林地体是中朝克拉通的重要组成部分,其早前寒武纪基底岩系的岩石组成、形成和变质作用时代,直接影响到人们对古元古代辽吉活动带乃至整个华北克拉通地质演化历史的理解和认识。本文选取位于狼林地块东南缘,狼林群变质杂岩中的3个花岗片麻岩样品进行锆石U-Pb定年分析。锆石的LA-ICPMS和SIMS定年结果显示,3个片麻岩原岩的岩浆结晶时代为2521~2567Ma,并且它们都经历了古元古代1.87~1.89Ga的构造热事件改造,表现为原始岩浆锆石不同程度的铅丢失以及变质锆石的形成。基于这一认识,并结合其他学者的最新研究结果可知,太古宙片麻岩存在于狼林地块平南盆地的南缘和东缘地区,由此推测狼林地块太古宙基底岩系的规模可能远大于目前所识别的这几个地区。这些太古宙片麻岩普遍遭受了古元古代强烈变质作用(深熔作用)改造,并且变质作用的时代可以与华北克拉通三条古元古代活动带的变质-深熔作用时代相对比,表明狼林地块可能至少在古元古代之前,就已经与华北克拉通组成了统一的大陆。     

塔里木地块东南缘新太古代安南坝石英闪长片麻岩的成因及其对地壳演化的启示

目前塔里木地块东南缘早前寒武纪岩石形成时代和成因机制研究较为薄弱,制约了人们对塔里木大陆地壳形成和早期演化的认识.岩石地球化学及锆石Hf同位素组成表明塔里木地块东南缘安南坝石英闪长片麻岩原岩岩浆为下地壳变玄武岩部分熔融形成,并有少量幔源物质的加入.LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果显示石英闪长片麻岩成岩年龄为2 662±12 Ma、2 676±15 Ma,结合已有资料综合说明塔里木东南缘太古宙岩石形成时代主要集中在2.55~2.70 Ga,变质年龄分别为1 980±30 Ma、1 828±20 Ma~2 087±29 Ma,是古元古代中晚期与造山作用有关的岩浆-变质事件的地质记录.石英闪长片麻岩中锆石两阶段模式年龄T_DM2为2 954~3 742 Ma,峰值为~3.24 Ga,据此认为~3.2 Ga是塔里木东南缘大陆地壳生长的主要时期,并于2.55~2.70 Ga发生地壳再造,古老地壳再循环可能是该地区新太古代中晚期大陆地壳演化的重要方式.      

Eoarchean to Mesoarchean crustal evolution in the Dharwar craton,India: Evidence from detrital zircon U-Pb and Hf isotopes

The formation and evolution of continental crust in the Early Earth are of fundamental importance in understanding the emergence of continents, their assembly into supercontinents and evolution of life and environment. The Dharwar Craton in southern India is among the major Archean cratons of the world, where recent studies have shown that the craton formation involved the assembly of several micro-continents during Meso- to Neoarchean through subduction-accretion-collision processes. Here we report U-Pb-Hf isotope data from detrital zircons in a suite of metasediments (including quartz mica schist, fuchsite quartzite and metapelite) from the southern domain of the Chitradurga suture zone that marks the boundary between the Western and Central Dharwar Craton. Morphology and internal structure of the zircon grains suggest that the dominant population was derived from proximal granitic (felsic) sources. Zircon U-Pb data are grouped into Paleo-Mesoarchean and Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic with peaks at 3227 Ma and 2575 Ma. The age spectra of detrital zircon grains, in combination with the Lu-Hf isotopic analyses indicate sediment provenance from magmatic sources with model ages in the range of ca. 3.67 to 2.75 Ga. A transition from dominantly juvenile to a mixture of juvenile and recycled crustal components indicate progressive crustal maturity. The results from this study suggest major crustal growth events during ca. 3.2 Ga and 2.6 Ga in Dharwar. Our study provides insights into continental emergence, weathering and detrital input through river drainage systems into the trench during Eoarchean to Mesoarchean.     

华北克拉通胶北地体蓬莱群辅子夼组碎屑锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

蓬莱群是胶北地区最主要的晚前寒武纪沉积盖层,对研究华北克拉通东南缘晚前寒武纪演化有重要意义.为确认蓬莱群沉积时代与物源特征,本次研究选取栖霞地区蓬莱群辅子夼组中上部的长石石英岩为研究对象,对锆石CL图像、U-Pb年龄以及稀土元素组成开展研究,发现碎屑锆石主要为岩浆锆石,年龄峰值主要集中在1 100、1 200 Ma以及1 600 Ma,缺乏年龄大于1.8 Ga的锆石;其中,最年轻碎屑锆石年龄为1 094±39 Ma,结合前人资料,蓬莱群辅子夼组沉积时代被限定在新元古代初期;不同地区的蓬莱群在辅子夼组中部以上物源区是统一的,在辅子夼组下部沉积时期物源发生变化.在区域上,蓬莱群物源特点与朝鲜祥原超群、以及我国辽东细河群、鲁南土门群、徐淮地区淮南群、豫西地区栾川群等华北东缘、南缘新元古代沉积盆地物源相似,物源主要来自华北克拉通以外的古陆.结合古地磁、中—新元古代岩墙分布等资料,推测发育格林威尔期造山带的克拉通如Laurentia-Siberia-Baltica或Sao Fransico-Congo克拉通与华北克拉通南缘拼合,提供物源.      

朝鲜半岛平南盆地中元古代岩浆事件

朝鲜平南盆地翁津地区发育中元古代黄海群和同时期(称之为瓮津期)花岗岩,花岗岩体侵入于黄海群。本文采用锆石原位微区U-Pb定年技术,对黄海群中的酸性火山岩及花岗岩进行了年龄测试。获得的数据表明,黄海群中下部层位及上部层位的酸性火山岩分别在1235±5Ma和1203±7Ma喷发,由此说明黄海群的沉积时代应为中元古代,而不是传统上认为的古元古代;两个翁津期花岗岩体(翁津和黄衣山岩体)的侵位年龄分别为1251±22Ma和1248±13Ma,为中元古代花岗质岩浆活动的产物。上述1251~1203Ma年龄的获得,表明朝鲜半岛发育中元古代岩浆作用,从而明确朝鲜黄海裂谷与华北东缘裂谷在时间上具有同期性,同时也表明中国华北与朝鲜在中元古代具有类似的发展历史。     

赞比亚班韦乌卢变质克拉通东北部姆巴拉组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素特征

班韦乌卢变质克拉通活动时间和地壳增长问题一直是地质学家关注的焦点。本文通过对班韦乌卢地块中卡帕图地区姆波罗科索群姆巴拉组石英砂岩进行了碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素研究,结合变质克拉通已有成果获得认识如下：(1)姆巴拉组的形成时间可能介于(1833±22 Ma)～(1712±22 Ma)之间,属于古元古代。(2)姆巴拉组具有丰富的物质来源,其中2728～2602 Ma(峰值为2650 Ma)的物质可能来源于坦桑尼亚克拉通中的花岗岩类、粗面安山岩及流纹岩等岩石。2246～1833 Ma(峰值为1880 Ma)的物质主要来源于班韦乌卢地块中花岗岩类、石英闪长岩及火山岩类等岩石。(3)班韦乌卢变质克拉通的活动时间包括中太古代、新太古代、古元古代和中元古代四个时期,其中古元古代(1870 Ma)为活动的高峰期,涉及范围广泛,可能与哥伦比亚超大陆的演化密切相关。(4)班韦乌卢变质克拉通沉积岩的源区地壳增生除来自古老地壳的再循环物质外,还存在新生地壳的物质。同时,地壳在古太古代-古元古代均实现了增长,其中凯诺兰超大陆聚合时期(2550 Ma)增长最快。在古元古代之前的地壳主增长期与坦桑尼亚克拉通及全球大陆地壳主增长期基本一致。
