东天山觉罗塔格构造带晚三叠世镁安山岩的厘定及其构造意义

新疆东天山地区印支期岩浆活动的岩石成因、源区性质及相关动力学背景一直是区域地质问题争论的焦点。对东天山构造带阿奇山安山岩开展岩石学、地球化学及锆石U-Pb-Hf系统研究,结果表明安山岩具斑状结构和气孔状构造,斑晶矿物主要为单斜辉石和斜长石,基质以针状斜长石微晶为主。锆石U-Pb定年结果表明镁安山岩喷发于235 Ma(晚三叠世),并含有石炭纪年龄的继承锆石。锆石Hf同位素分析显示岩浆期锆石具有低的ε_Hf(t)值(-31.7~-7.6)和古老的亏损地幔模式年龄(T_DM=2.2~0.7 Ga)。岩石地球化学特征显示样品为高MgO含量(3.7%~4.7%)和K₂O/Na₂O比值(0.6~1.1)及低TFeO/MgO比值(1.6~1.8)的高钾钙碱性镁安山岩。岩石地球化学特征结合区域构造-岩浆-成矿作用揭示阿奇山镁安山岩为板内伸展背景下含金云母的富集岩石圈地幔在较浅深度(<80 km)部分熔融的产物,且母岩浆混有古老地壳物质。晚三叠世阿奇山镁安山岩的厘定反映了该时期东天山地区处于岩石圈伸展-减薄阶段。     

藏北班公湖-怒江缝合带西段沙木罗组火山岩年代学、Hf同位素及地球化学特征

班公湖-怒江缝合带在中生代的构造岩浆演化一直以来都是青藏高原基础地质研究中的热点之一.在该缝合带南部的冈底斯北部地区发育大量的中生代火山岩及相关岩浆岩,其岩石成因与成岩地球动力学背景长期以来存在较大的争议.以班公湖-怒江缝合带西段阿翁错地区沙木罗组新发现的火山岩夹层为研究对象,对沙木罗组的形成时代、火山岩的成因、构造环境以及动力学背景进行了探讨.沙木罗组火山岩由下部扎果安山岩和中部昂母过安山质晶屑凝灰岩组成.锆石U-Pb定年结果表明下部扎果安山岩锆石结晶年龄为141.3±1.7 Ma,中部昂母过安山质晶屑凝灰岩的锆石结晶年龄为134.0±0.4 Ma,与区域上沙木罗组产出的化石及碎屑锆石约束时代较为一致.研究区沙木罗组下部安山岩以低硅（SiO₂=52.58%~55.35%）、低铝（Al₂O₃=14.43%~15.44%,A/CNK=0.58~0.75）、富镁（MgO=6.12%~8.51%）、富钠（Na₂O=1.55%~5.03%,Na₂O/K₂O=1.81~3.61）为特征,属于高镁安山岩范畴;中部安山质晶屑凝灰岩以相对高硅（SiO₂=55.83%~61.88%）、低镁（MgO=2.73%~4.51%）、高铝（Al₂O₃=17.75%~19.62%,A/CNK=0.90~1.08）、富钠（Na₂O=1.55%~5.03%,Na₂O/K₂O=1.81~3.61）为特征,由下往上沙木罗组火山岩的SiO₂、Al₂O₃、Na₂O含量逐渐升高,MgO、K₂O、Fe₂O₃含量逐渐降低,属于钠质低钾钙碱性系列岩石.二者均明显富集轻稀土（LREE）和大离子亲石元素（LILE）,亏损高场强元素（HFSE）,显示出典型的岛弧岩浆岩特征.下部扎果安山岩的锆石ε_Hf（t）为+15.5~+18.7,中部昂母过安山质晶屑凝灰岩的锆石ε_Hf（t）为+13.8~+16.2,指示安山岩、安山质晶屑凝灰岩的形成有新生地壳物质的参与.扎果高镁安山岩具有低的Y（11.9×10-6~13.5×10-6）、Yb（1.32×10-6~1.43×10-6）含量和较高的Sr（481×10-6~794×10-6）含量,以及较高的Sr/Y（35.6~65.6）和La_N/Yb_N（8.2~10.4）,其形成可能与俯冲板片熔体交代地幔橄榄岩有关.综上所述,研究区沙木罗组火山岩形成于俯冲岛弧环境下,为早白垩世早期班公湖-怒江洋壳南向俯冲消减的岩浆响应.      

云南马关新生代钾玄质玄武岩的岩石学与地球化学特征及构造环境

新疆东天山黑白山镁铁超镁铁岩地球化学、U-Pb年代学、Hf同位素特征及地质意义

黑白山镁铁超镁铁岩位于新疆中天山地块与觉罗塔格构造带的分界断裂——阿其克库都克大断裂南侧约4 km处。该岩体主要由阳起石化橄榄辉石岩、辉橄岩、辉石岩、蚀变细粒辉长岩组成,对岩体的主微量及稀土元素地球化学特征研究表明,岩体属铁质镁铁超镁铁岩,具低钾拉斑玄武质岩的分异特征;岩石具相对较低SiO₂(43.90%~52.80%)、相对富Na₂O(0.38%~2.97%),贫K₂O(0.11%~0.47%)及Na₂O>K₂O特征;MgO值变化大且较高(4.25%~32.49%),较高Mg#(63.94~82.98),相对富集轻稀土((La/Yb)N为2.03~5.76),富集大离子亲石元素Rb,Ba,U,La,亏损高场强元素Nb,Ta,Ce,Ti,强烈富集Pb,说明岩石具幔源特征和岛弧岩浆特征。LA-ICP-MS锆石UPb年龄(392.7±4.5)Ma表明,该岩体属早泥盆世岩浆活动的产物。Hf同位素等地球化学特征和岩相学显示,岩浆起源于含有早期俯冲洋壳的亏损软流圈地幔,在岩浆演化过程中受到地壳及围岩混染,但混染作用较弱。黑白山岩体的发现为北天山洋在早古生代沿阿其克库都克断裂向南俯冲提供了新的证据。     

大兴安岭东部地区下白垩统龙江组新认识

对龙江地区龙江组建组剖面进行了岩石地层、生物地层、同位素年代和岩石地球化学等多方面的研究,重新厘定了龙江组的含义.新义龙江组岩石组合由安山岩、英安岩及其火山碎屑岩、流纹质火山碎屑岩和沉积碎屑岩组成;生物化石属于EosestheriaLycoptera-Ephemeropsis trisetalis热河生物群中期生物化石组合,其中叶肢介化石以Eosestheria opima-E.（Dongbeiestheria）guanghuaensis（丰满东方叶肢介-光华东北东方叶肢介）组合为代表;火山岩的岩石地球化学SiO₂含量在59.71%~75.65%之间,具有高Al₂O₃（12.19%~19.39%）和高Na₂O（1.04%~5.24%）,较富碱性（Na₂O+K₂O 3.65%~6.25%）的特点,火山岩属于高钾钙碱性岩系列;轻稀土（LREE）富集.全岩激光⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar同位素年龄等时线年龄值为125.4±1.8 Ma.     

青海玉树县南洞卡组粗面安山岩地球化学特征：岩石成因与构造背景探讨

额尔古纳地块早-中三叠世安山岩的发现及其对蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋南向俯冲的指示

安山岩与俯冲构造环境密切相关,对安山岩的研究可以获得俯冲作用发生时代及相关俯冲过程的重要信息.报道了大兴安岭北段、额尔古纳地块之上凤水山地区早-中三叠世安山岩的岩石学特征、锆石U-Pb年龄以及全岩地球化学数据,以揭示该地区蒙古-鄂霍茨克大洋板片南向俯冲作用的初始过程.凤水山地区安山岩的锆石多数呈自形-半自形短柱状、粒状,具有典型的震荡生长环带和高Th/U（0.23~1.34）比值,暗示其为岩浆成因锆石.锆石LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素测年结果显示其分别形成于251±2 Ma和243±2 Ma,分属早三叠世和中三叠世,表明凤水山地区存在早中生代安山岩.这些早中生代安山岩的SiO₂含量介于53.52%~60.38%,Al₂O₃含量介于16.17%~17.41%,Fe₂O₃T含量为5.55%~8.93%,MgO含量介于1.96%~5.97%,TiO₂含量介于0.97%~1.67%,全碱（K₂O+Na₂O）含量为5.60%~8.05%,Na₂O/K₂O比值为1.23~2.51,铝饱和指数A/CNK介于0.86~0.97,具有较高的Mg#值（47~75）,为钙碱性系列岩石.岩石样品富集Rb、Ba、U、K、Pb等大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素,明显亏损Nb、Ta、Ti、P等高场强元素和重稀土元素,具有微弱的负Eu异常（δEu=0.74~0.99）,与俯冲带大陆边缘弧岩浆岩地球化学特征类似.凤水山地区早中生代安山岩岩浆可能起源于幔源玄武质岩浆与壳源硅质熔体的混合作用,而幔源玄武质岩浆起源于俯冲板片沉积物或沉积物熔体改造的富集地幔,可能与前人提出的MASH（melting,assimilation,storage and homogenization）过程一致.因此,研究区三叠纪安山岩形成于蒙古-鄂霍茨克大洋板片南向俯冲相关的安第斯型活动大陆边缘环境.      

阴山地块晚太古代岩浆作用、变质作用对地壳演化及BIF成因的启示

阴山地块是华北克拉通西部太古代基底出露最大最完整的地区.固阳地区是阴山地块最具代表性的地区,主要由中西部低级别变质的晚太古代花岗-绿岩地体和东部的高级变质杂岩地体组成.统计结果表明,无论是绿岩带,花岗岩类侵入体,还是高级别变质杂岩的原岩都形成于晚太古代末期(2562 ～ 2510Ma),形成时间上相互重叠,在～2500Ma,～2480Ma分别经历了两期变质事件,第一期为逆时针的P-T轨迹,与洋脊俯冲有关;第二期则表现顺时针的P-T轨迹,与晚期碰撞造山有关.科马提岩-科马提质玄武岩、高镁安山岩-富Nb火山岩、TFG和Sanukitoid多种具有特殊构造意义的岩石同时发育.综合已有资料获得如下启示,阴山地块在晚太古代受板块体制控制,并先后经历了洋脊俯冲和碰撞造山过程.将区域内的BIF与相关岩石联系起来考虑,得出BIF的形成与洋脊俯冲有关,BIF中的Si来源于绿岩带底部的玄武岩,Fe来源于同层位的科马提岩.     

Liquid Immiscibility of Boninite in Xiangcheng, Southwestern China, and Its implication to Genetic Relationship between Boninite and Komatiitic Basalt

Boninitic rocks and associated high-magnesian basalt and high-iron tholeiite in the Xiangcheng area constitute the basal horizon of the arc volcanic sequence in the Triassic Yidun Island-Arc, southwestern China. The boninite occurs as pillow, massive and ocellar lavas; the last one possesses well-developed globular structure and alternates with the former two. The boninite is characterized by the absence of phenocrysts of olivine and low-Ca pyroxenes and by low CaO/Al2O3 ratios (<0.67) and high Cr (>1000 ppm) and Ni (>250 ppm). The normalized abundance patterns (NAP) of trace elements to primitive mantle are similar to the NAP of low-Ca modern boninites and SHMB in the Archaean and Proterozoic.As a mechanism of ocellar texture, liquid immiscibility in boninite is supported by the following lines of evidence: (a) sharp contact between ocelli and matrix, (b) constant volumetric ratios of ocelli/matrix and common coalescence of ocelli in ocellar rocks, (c) identical micro-spinifex textures and mineral asse     

Petrography and petrochemistry of latest Pliocene olivine-tholeiites of Taos area,northern New Mexico,U.S.A.

In north-central New Mexico, U.S.A., enormous volumes of basaltic rocks erupted in latest Pliocene time, forming large flat plateaus along the western foot of the Rocky Mountain Range.Petrographically, and also geologically, the volcanic rocks are divided into three series. Of these, the lava flows of the middle series accounted for more than ninety-five per cent of both area and volume. The first two series are composed of olivine-tholeiite while the last one is composed of calc-alkaline andesite.Twenty volcanic rocks, five groundmass plagioclases and five groundmass clinopyroxenes have been chemically analysed.The basalts are intermediate between tholeiitic and alkaline types and are rather similar to the high-alumina basalt from Oregon and the Cascade Range. However, the crystallization trends of groundmass plagioclase and clinopyroxene closely resemble those found in Japanese and Kilauean tholeiitic series.     

南秦岭勉略构造带中堂沟火山岩地球化学特征及其地质意义

通过对分布于勉略构造带中段三岔子西侧中堂沟地区的火山岩进行详实的野外地质剖面调查,发现其为一套绿片岩相浅变质火山岩,岩石组合以变安山岩为主,含有少量的变玄武岩和变英安岩,主体为钙碱性系列。岩石地球化学研究表明3类岩石均具有轻稀土富集型稀土配分曲线,并显示弱的Eu负异常;微量元素方面,岩石普遍富集大离子亲石元素Cs、Rb、Ba,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta,相对亏损P、Ti,不活动微量元素Zr、Hf、Tb、Y等既无明显的相对亏损也无显著的相对富集。在La-La/Nb、Nb-Nb/Th和La/Yb-Sc/Ni等环境判别图解中,变玄武岩和变安山岩样品点均落在岛弧火山岩范围内,并结合其岩石组合特征指示该套火山岩应形成于大陆边缘弧(活动陆缘)环境。其中变玄武岩和变安山岩岩浆起源于楔形地幔的部分熔融,且有陆壳物质的参与;变英安岩的形成则与壳源物质的部分熔融有关。     

Early Devonian suprasubduction ophiolites of the southern Urals

The composition of ophiolites widespread in the southern Urals shows that they were formed in a suprasubduction setting. Low-Ti and high-Mg sheeted dikes and volcanic rocks vary from basalt to andesite, and many varieties belong to boninite series. The rocks of this type extend as a 600-km tract. The volcanic rocks contain chert interbeds with Emsian conodonts. Plagiogranites localized at the level of the sheeted dike complex and related to this complex genetically are dated at 400 Ma. The ophiolites make up a base of thick islandarc volcanic sequence. The composition of the igneous rocks and the parameters of their metamorphism indicate that subduction and ascent of a mantle plume participated in their formation. The nonstationary subduction at the intraoceanic convergent plate boundary developed, at least, from the Middle Ordovician.     

Geochemical constraints on the evolution of mafic and felsic rocks in the Bathani volcanic and volcano-sedimentary sequence of Chotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex

The Bathani volcanic and volcano-sedimentary (BVS) sequence is a volcanic and volcano-sedimentary sequence, best exposed near Bathani village in Gaya district of Bihar. It is located in the northern fringe of the Chotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGGC). The volcano-sedimentary unit comprises of garnet-mica schist, rhyolite, tuff, banded iron formation (BIF) and chert bands with carbonate rocks as enclaves within the rhyolite and the differentiated volcanic sequence comprises of rhyolite, andesite, pillow basalt, massive basalt, tuff and mafic pyroclasts. Emplacement of diverse felsic and mafic rocks together testifies for a multi-stage and multi-source magmatism for the area. The presence of pillow basalt marks the eruption of these rocks in a subaqueous environment. Intermittent eruption of mafic and felsic magmas resulted in the formation of rhyolite, mafic pyroclasts, and tuff. Mixing and mingling of the felsic and mafic magmas resulted in the hybrid rock andesite. Granites are emplaced later, cross-cutting the volcanic sequence and are probably products of fractional crystallization of basaltic magma. The present work characterizes the geochemical characteristics of the magmatic rocks comprising of basalt, andesite, rhyolite, tuff, and granite of the area. Tholeiitic trend for basalt and calc-alkaline affinities of andesite, rhyolite and granite is consistent with their generation in an island arc, subduction related setting. The rocks of the BVS sequence probably mark the collision of the northern and southern Indian blocks during Proterozoic period. The explosive submarine volcanism may be related to culmination of the collision of the aforementioned blocks during the Neoproterozoic (1.0 Ga) as the Grenvillian metamorphism is well established in various parts of CGGC.     

Novel amphibole geobarometer for high-magnesium andesite and basalt magmas

Experimental data on amphibole crystallization in water-saturated high-Mg andesite from Shiveluch volcano, Kamchatka, at 2, 3, and 5 kbar were used to calibrate a new geobarometer. The main parameters chosen to indicate the crystallization pressure of equilibrium amphibole is the ratio of tetrahedrally coordinated Al to the sum (Ti⁴⁺ + Fe³⁺), which is calculated by the 13eCNK technique with regard for crystal chemical considerations. The newly derived geobarometer is designed to evaluate pressure in the range of 2–12 kbar using amphibole from high-Mg andesite and basalt. The accuracy and reliability of the pressure estimates by the new geobarometer were tested by applying this geobarometer in studying amphibolized ultramafic xenoliths from the Dish Hill dike, California; magmatic amphibole hosted in cortlandite from the Shanuch intrusion, Kamchatka; and magmatic amphibole in the Pekul’ney Bay area, Chukotka. All estimates made with the newly developed geobarometer were reasonably close to values obtained by independent techniques.     

Archaean volcanism and sedimentation near Meekatharra,Western Australia

Archaean volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments exposed in a regional syncline south of Meekatharra, Western Australia are described. Initial volcanic activity produced a suite of high-Mg basalts containing 10–19% MgO. Pillowed tholeiitic basalts overlie the high-Mg basalts. These lower units are thought to have been derived from a central fracture zone. The uppermost units consist of volcanogenic sediments interlayered with andesite and dacite flows which appear to have been derived from a marginal andesite pile to the east. The Archaean sequence has been tightly folded, cross-faulted and intruded by post-Archaean dykes.The central succession is predominantly submarine, although the marginal andesite pile may be in part subaerial. Whilst there are some similarities with the Marda complex to the southeast (Hallberg et al., 1976), the rocks near Meekatharra are more analogous to those associated with modern island arcs.     

天山石炭纪火山岩系中含有富Nb岛弧玄武岩吗?

中国西北部天山石炭纪—早二叠世裂谷火山作用代表了一个新近被认可的大火成岩省。有人认为,在天山石炭纪火山岩系中发育有富Nb岛弧玄武岩、埃达克岩和高镁安山岩组合。然而,该岩石组合具有与典型富Nb岛弧玄武岩、埃达克岩和高镁安山岩不同的化学和同位素特点,表明其并非是岛弧岩石组合。这一推断的岛弧岩石组合实际上是大陆板内火山岩组合,由未遭受地壳混染、受到地壳轻微混染和遭受地壳强烈混染的大陆火山岩组成。     

The features of the compositional evolution of felsic rocks in the low-potassium calc-alkaline series of the Zavaritskii volcano,Kurile Arc,Simushir Island

This article is focused on dacitic pumices, which are the felsic members of the basalt–andesite–dacite series. The phenoscrysts of all of the rocks from this series are the same: plagioclase, olivine, clino- and orthopyroxenes, and titanomagnetite. The groundmass of dacitic pumices that contain microlites of the same minerals and felsic glass has been studied in detail. Quartz and K–Na feldspar are absent. The study of that microlite zoning that formed in the upper parts of the channels or at the surface under the most nonequilibrium conditions was one of the most important tasks; it revealed several interesting features. As an example, anorthite plagioclases were found as microlites. The resorption zones are absent in both plagioclase phenocrysts and microlites, which implies the major role of fractionation rather than magma mixing.
