西藏冈底斯西部江巴、邦巴和雄巴岩体的锆石U-Pb年代学与Hf同位素地球化学

对青藏高原冈底斯带西部中生代花岗岩的研究依然十分有限。本文选择青藏高原冈底斯带西部狮泉河-革吉-雄巴地区的三个花岗岩基进行了锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年和锆石Hf同位素分析,并探讨了中冈底斯带中侏罗世-早白垩世花岗岩的分布特征及其揭示的地壳基底的属性。定年结果表明,江巴岩体花岗闪长岩年龄为170±3Ma,雄巴岩体碱长花岗岩年龄为149±3Ma,它们形成于中晚侏罗世;邦巴岩体寄主岩石正长花岗岩和其中的石英二长闪长岩包体年龄分别为144±3Ma和133±3Ma,形成于早白垩世。锆石Hf同位素和地壳模式年龄结果表明,中晚侏罗世的江巴岩体(εHf(t)为-16.8～-13.4,Hf同位素地壳模式年龄为2.1～2.3Ga)与雄巴碱长花岗岩(-11.3～-6.2和1.6～2.0Ga)具有富集的Hf同位素特征,显示了新元古界的地壳基底年龄。邦巴正长花岗岩(-4～-0.8和1.2～1.5Ga)与其中的闪长质包体(-2.8～+0.6和1.2～1.4Ga)具有一致的Hf同位素特征,显示了岩浆混合作用。本文花岗岩定年与Hf同位素结果进一步揭示出中冈底斯带存在未出露地表的古元古代地壳基底。     

福建紫金山地区中生代岩浆岩成因——锆石Hf同位素证据

对福建紫金山地区中生代岩浆岩进行了锆石Hf同位素分析,结果表明中-晚侏罗世与早白垩世岩浆岩具有不同的Hf同位素组成.中-晚侏罗世花岗岩体具有低的εHf(t)值(-13.5～-2.9),Hf同位素的二阶段模式年龄(tDCM)峰值介于1.7～2.0 Ga,表明其主要来源于古元古代基底.早白垩世侵入-次火山岩分为四方花岗闪长岩体和紫金山次火山岩、悦洋次火山岩以及温屋次火山岩.四方岩体εHf(t)值介于-2.3～0.4,tDCM峰值介于1.3～1.4Ga;紫金山次火山岩εHf(t)值变化范围大(-8.9～5.6),tDCM峰值介于1.1～～1.5 Ga,表明两者均形成于中元古代基底和地幔物质混合作用的环境;悦洋和温屋次火山岩具有相对较低的εHf(t)(-2.7～-9.6)和较高的tDCM(峰值为1.4～1.7 Ga),表明二者来源于中-古元古代基底和少量幔源物质的混合物.早白垩世岩浆岩Hf同位素特征显示,紫金山地区的侵入-次火山岩体形成于同一岩浆源区,但岩浆源区随着时间的演化各组分及组分含量在不断变化,显示了该时期复杂的壳幔作用过程.紫金山地区中生代岩浆岩中锆石Hf同位素特征表明,中-晚侏罗世岩体与早白垩世侵入-火山岩来源于不同源区,为古太平洋板块俯冲作用不同阶段的产物.     

桂东南大容山-十万大山S型花岗岩带的成因：地球化学及Sr-Nd-Hf同位素制约

本文报道桂东南大容山-十万大山花岗岩带浦北岩体(东北带)、旧州岩体(中部带)和台马岩体(西南带)全岩的主、微量元素、Sr-Nd同位素和锆石的LAM-MC-ICPMS原位Hf同位素分析结果。岩石学及元素地球化学结果显示:上述三个岩体为典型S型花岗岩;高I_(Sr)(>0.721)和低ε_(Nd)(t)(-13.0～-9.9)意味着它们可能来自古老地壳的重熔。岩浆结晶(～230Ma)锆石的ε_(Hf)(t)值主要集中在-11～-9,相应的T_(DM2)模式年龄为1.9～1.8Ga;少数结晶锆石的ε_(Hf)(t)值逐渐升高到-4.5,T_(DM2)降低为～1.5Ga。捕获锆石(1681～384Ma)的的ε_(Hf)(t)值分布在-17.1～ 3.4,T_(DM2)主要集中在2.4Ga、1.9Ga和1.5Ga。大部分岩浆结晶锆石ε_(Hf)(t)值与根据"全岩ε_(Nd)(t)值和‘地壳Hf-Nd相关’预测值"基本一致,表明平均地壳存留年龄为1.9Ga的地壳是最重要的物源区。部分岩浆锆石与捕获锆石具有相同的T_(DM2)～1.5Ga,表明平均地壳存留年龄为1.5Ga的物源区参与了该花岗岩带的形成;由于缺少T_(DM2)>2.0Ga的岩浆锆石,少量平均地壳存留年龄为2.4Ga的再循环地壳物质参与了该花岗岩带的形成。因为缺少显著幔源特征的高ε_(Hf)(t)值锆石,本文认为地幔物质基本没有参与该S型花岗岩带的形成。     

鄂尔多斯地块基底研究新的思考与认识

鄂尔多斯地块基底岩芯岩石组合、花岗片麻岩的锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素和全岩Nd同位素组成以及航磁异常和地壳速度结构特征表明,该地块中部沿大同-华池基底断裂带存在一航磁异常梯度带,沿该带南缘发育一条2.2～2.0Ga古元古代弧岩浆活动带,并经历了1.96～1.85Ga的变质作用改造,与东缘中部带古元古代中晚期构造演化过...     

华北克拉通西部基底早前寒武纪地质事件、性质及其地质意义

综合华北克拉通西部陆块阴山地块、孔兹岩带和鄂尔多斯地块基底正、副片麻岩以及鄂尔多斯地块现代河流沙锆石U-Pb和Hf同位素资料,并根据最新获得的鄂尔多斯基底及盖层继承碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素统计分析揭示,该陆块存在古、中太古代陆壳物质,自新太古代以来先后发生了新太古代~2.7Ga、2.55~2.45Ga以及古元古代2.2~2.0Ga和1.95~1.85Ga等多期构造热事件。由基底和盖层中各类岩石中获得的~2.5Ga锆石的εHf(t)多为正值,Hf陆壳模式年龄(t_(DM)~C)介于2.9～2.6Ga之间(峰值～2.75Ga),阴山地块存在～2.7Ga的岩石,鄂尔多斯地块基底有～2.7Ga继承锆石记录,证明新太古代存在一期重要的陆壳生长。2.55～2.45Ga的岩浆活动在西部陆块不同地质单元基底岩石中均有记录,出现大量壳源花岗岩和幔源岩浆侵入及麻粒岩相变质作用,它们的锆石εHf(t)值由负到正变化大,Hf陆壳模式年龄(t_(DM)~C)除少数接近岩浆活动年龄外,多数明显高于它们的形成年龄,指示了强烈的陆壳再造和一定陆壳生长,岩石组合及地球化学特征反映了汇聚挤压转为伸展环境,类似于华北陆块～2.5Ga广泛的岩浆变质事件及构造背景,揭示了不同陆块碰撞拼合而后转为伸展的构造演化过程。古元古代2.2～2.0Ga期间,沿鄂尔多斯地块北部及东部边缘出现大洋俯冲消减有关的陆缘弧花岗岩类,它们的锆石εHf(t)和t_(DM)~C值变化范围很大,表明在古元古代中晚期鄂尔多斯地块基底仍发生有陆壳增生和再造。此后在1.95～1.85Ga期间,沿鄂尔多斯地块北部的孔兹岩带和东部的中部构造带均发生顺时针P-T演化轨迹的变质作用,证明～1.95Ga鄂尔多斯地块相继与北部阴山地块和东部陆块碰撞拼合为一体,至～1.85Ga发生陆壳抬升与伸展、发生陆壳物质减压熔融的强烈混合岩化和大量S型花岗岩形成,其后发生镁铁质岩墙侵入,标志着华北陆块最终克拉通化完成。     

蚌埠隆起区中生代花岗岩的岩石成因：锆石Hf同位素的证据

对蚌埠隆起区中生代不同时期的花岗岩中6个岩体的锆石LA-MC-ICP MS原位Hf同位素的研究,据此限定它们的岩浆源区和重建华北克拉通东南部的构造格架。结果表明,中生代不同时期的花岗岩中岩浆锆石的初始Hf同位素组成(ε_(Hf)(t))可以分成两组:第一组的女山(130Ma)和西庐山花岗岩(130Ma)的ε_(Hf)(t)值分别为-18.4和-16.1;第二组的曹山(110Ma)、锥山二长花岗岩(110Ma)和蚂蚁山花岗岩(110Ma)以及淮光花岗闪长岩(130Ma)的ε_(Hf)(t)值分别为-22.3、-23.1和-21.1以及-28.1,这些岩浆锆石低的ε_(Hf)(t)值表明它们可能来源于古老的大陆下地壳。女山和西庐山岩体中早古生代—新元古代继承锆石具有低的ε_(Hf)(t)值(-2.3～-7.7)和1.52Ga～1.79Ga的Hf同位素两阶段模式年龄,表明它们的岩浆源区主要以扬子克拉通下地壳物质为主。曹山、锥山和蚂蚁山以及淮光岩体中岩浆锆石的Hf同位素两阶段模式年龄为1.89Ga～2.58Ga,结合淮光岩体中古元古代继承锆石和3400Ma捕获锆石中低的ε_(Hf)(t)值(-5.7～-6.8,-0.6、-0.9)和古老的Hf同位素两阶段模式年龄(2.44Ga～2.80Ga,3.7Ga),表明它们主要来源于华北克拉通下地壳物质的部分熔融。淮光和女山岩体中古元古代—新太古宙继承锆石中正的ε_(Hf)(t)值(0.3～6.7)以及高的ε_(Hf)(t)值(16.9～21.7)的存在,暗示形成这些古老继承锆石的初始物质中有幔源物质的涉入。蚌埠隆起区深部地壳中扬子克拉通基底物质的存在暗示扬子克拉通可能沿着郯庐断裂带向西或北西方向俯冲于华北克拉通之下。     

西大别~2.0 Ga变质花岗岩的发现及其Hf同位素特征

扬子陆块广泛存在2.10～1.90 Ga构造热事件的年代学信息,然而在大别地区该时期的岩浆岩体尚未报道,本文在野外地质调查的基础上,对西大别金盘岩体的变质花岗岩开展了锆石年代学和Hf同位素分析。锆石U-Pb测年结果显示变质花岗岩的结晶年龄为(2022±17)Ma(MSWD=2.3),代表了大别造山带古元古代的岩浆活动记录。锆石的εHf(t)值(-10.6～-7.6)及其二阶模式年龄(2.96～3.12 Ga)表明该岩体来源于古老陆壳的再造。综合已有Hf同位素资料,扬子陆块北缘广泛发育2.95～3.18 Ga太古宙地壳,为该类花岗岩的岩浆形成提供了物源。金盘岩体形成于古元古代碰撞造山作用时期(2.03～1.93 Ga),可能指示了Columbia超大陆聚合在大别地区的响应。该～2.0 Ga花岗岩体的识别,为研究大别造山带早前寒武纪构造岩浆事件的演化序列提供了新的资料。     

扬子板块西缘挖角地区晋宁期岩浆作用及大地构造意义

四川省石棉县挖角地区花岗岩体位于扬子板块西缘与松潘-甘孜地块的结合部位,本文通过详细的野外地质调查,结合岩石学、岩相学、LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学和MC-ICP-MS Hf同位素组成研究,厘定了岩体形成时代,探讨了岩浆来源。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果表明,挖角二长花岗岩形成年代介于852±33Ma和847±44Ma之间,处于晋宁期晚青白口世,与全球Rodinia期泛大陆形成密切相关。锆石原位Lu-Hf同位素组成表明,2个样品的εHf(t)值分别为+3. 9～+9. 3和-8. 0～+6. 5,为典型的壳-幔混合型; Hf同位素的二阶段模式年龄(tDM2)分别为1. 14～1. 49Ga和1. 33～2. 24Ga,均值分别为1. 32Ga和1. 52Ga,表明岩浆源区以中元古代古老地壳基底的部分熔融为主,形成过程中有幔源及古元古代古老地壳物质的贡献。挖角地区晋宁期二长花岗岩体锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素组成,反映了扬子板块西缘晚青白口世岩浆活动期和源区特征,其成因与全球Rodinia泛大陆形成期间岩浆活动和与壳幔混合作用密切相关。本文研究成果,为解释扬子板块西缘的构造演化提供了新的资料证据。     

大兴安岭新林镇岩体的同位素特征及其地质意义

新林镇岩体位于大兴安岭北部,主要由花岗闪长岩、石英二长岩、二长花岗岩、碱长花岗岩组成,局部见到细粒辉长岩和闪长岩包体。岩石地球化学和岩石学特征表明,该杂岩体属于高钾钙碱性I型花岗岩。两个花岗闪长岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果分别为(132±3)Ma和(131±3)Ma,属于早白垩世岩浆活动的产物。样品的Sr-Nd同位素组成比较均一,而Hf同位素特征变化较大,其εHf(t)变化介于1.32~8.32之间,Hf模式年龄与Nd模式年龄一致,表明花岗质岩浆主要起源于元古代增生的地壳物质,在岩石形成过程中有地幔组分的贡献。岩体的同位素特征将额尔古纳地块地壳增生时间限定在新元古代,而兴安地块地壳增生发生在新元古代—显生宙,暗示它们具有不同的地壳演化过程。     

粤东田东钨锡多金属矿床花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素特征及其意义

田东钨锡多金属矿床位于粤东莲花山断裂带北东带,矿区出露多个岩性侵入岩。本文以田东钨锡多金属矿区三种花岗岩为研究对象,开展了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年和Hf同位素特征研究。三种花岗岩岩性分别为中粒花岗岩、粗粒花岗岩、细粒黑云母花岗岩,分别获得锆石206 Pb/238 U加权平均年龄为191.5±0.9 Ma、158.0±1.3 Ma、140.5±0.8 Ma,表明矿区发生了多次岩浆活动事件,分别发生在早侏罗世、晚侏罗世和早白垩世。中粒花岗岩的锆石εHf(t)值介于4.023~9.784,平均值为7.644,在εHf(t)-t图解上,εHf(t)值均在球粒陨石演化线之上,亏损地幔演化线之下,二阶段模式年龄介于611.0~974.9Ma,表明成岩物质主要来源于新生地壳部分熔融,还有幔源物质的加入。粗粒花岗岩的锆石εHf(t)值介于-3.623~-0.120,平均值为-1.680。细粒黑云母花岗岩的锆石εHf(t)值介于-5.358~-1.609,平均值为-3.577。在εHf(t)-t图解上,粗粒花岗岩和细粒黑云母花岗岩的εHf(t)值均落在球粒陨石演化线之下和中元古代地壳演化线之上,二阶段模式年龄分别介于1216.6~1438.5 Ma和1329.9~1422.5 Ma,表明成岩物质主要来源于中元古代古老地壳部分熔融,还有幔源物质的加入。     

华北块体、胶辽朝块体与郯庐断裂

华北块体（NCB）与胶辽朝块体（JLKB）是中朝板块东部从震旦纪（680Ma)开始裂解的两个不同的构造单元。两个块体的界线称古郯庐断裂（PTLF），古郯庐断裂位置与现今郯庐断裂（TLF）相吻合，即由合肥向北延伸，过渤海，经沈阳以东呈NE走向至吉林南部。古郯庐断裂带附近震旦纪碳酸盐岩中的强地震记录及相应的辉绿岩侵位，是中朝板块内部裂解的基本地质证据，古郯庐断裂带（板内地震带）与元古超大陆Rodinia的裂解时期是一致的。两个块体上，太古宙基底岩石不同；元古宙及古生代的发展历史有别，两个块体于晚石炭世的莫斯科期重新闭合。朝鲜半岛中部的临津江带曾被认为是大别-胶南造山带的东延部分，但临津江带只是一般性断裂，胶南超高压带在朝鲜半岛并未发现，朝鲜半岛南部主体与辽东半岛古生界相似，因此，将中朝板块的南界，也是较辽朝块体的南界置于朝鲜半岛之南，它与胶南造山带以黄海转换断层（YSTF）联结。辽宁省瓦房店（旧称复县）与山东省蒙阴含金刚石的金伯利岩分布在郯庐断裂带的东，西两侧，南北方向距离的550km。两地金伯利岩年龄值在500-450Ma之间，即中奥陶世末侵位。鉴于两地金伯利岩在岩相学，矿物学与侵位年龄等某些方面的相似性，又紧邻郯庐断裂两侧，有些地质学家认为二者在侵位时可能相距颇近，属同一岩省，因而将瓦房店与蒙阴两个金伯利岩岩省之间的距离总是用郯庐断裂的巨大平移来解释。郯庐断裂为切过岩石圈的深断裂，对比瓦房店与蒙阴两地岩石圈剖面的异同，应是判断郯庐断裂有无巨大平移的重要依据。通过对金伯利岩中地幔样品的研究，揭示出了两地岩体侵位时所穿越的古岩石圈剖面是很不一致的，表明二者当时并非连接一起或相距甚近图片者结合区域地质构造研究的新认识，发现它们实际是分别侵位于中朝板块的两个不同的构造单元上，两地距离与平移无关，不支持郯庐断裂左行走滑巨大平移的观点，本文期望这种交叉学科研究所提供的材料能有助于讨论中国东部这一巨型断裂系统的性质。     

Geophysical fields, block structure, and seismic activity of the Central Kuril Islands

Based on the combined analysis of the seismologic and other geophysical data (the gravity and magnetic fields and the acoustic basement topography), it was revealed that the largest earthquakes that occurred in the region of the Central Kuril Islands in 2006, 2007, and 2009 were related to the block structure of the Earth’s crust. The aftershocks of the largest earthquakes recorded in 2006 and 2007 became foreshocks for the earthquakes of 2007 and 2009, respectively. In total, the earthquakes that occurred in this area in the period of 2006–2012 are closely related to the tectonic destruction zone existing there, clarify its position, and support the previous concept of the superimposed and cross cutting relationships of this zone with respect to the Kuril Island Arc.     

The deep structure,magmatism, and metallogeny of the Central Aldan block,Aldan-Stanovoy shield

Aerogeophysical and gravimetric survey data on the Central Aldan block, Aldan-Stanovoy shield have been summarized; a map of the extensiveness of the Precambrian granitoid magmatism has been drawn; the association of ore districts encompassing large deposits with the margins of the extensive areas of Precambrian granitoids has been recognized; the 3-D density modeling of the lithosphere of this block has been accomplished; the roots of the Mesozoic alkaline massifs down to a depth of 100–150 km have been traced, and the telemagmatic nature of the large gold-uranium deposits related to these massifs has been defined.     

Rock glaciers and block fields,review and new data

Tongue-shaped and lobate rock glaciers are recognized in most alpine regions today. For the tongue-shaped, two situations emerge: those with buried glacier ice (debris-covered glaciers) called ice-cored rock glaciers, and those with interstitial ice known as ice-cemented rock glaciers. Those with ice cores are revealed by depressions between rock glacier and headwall cliff (where a former glacier melted), longitudinal marginal and central meandering furrows, and collapse pits. Ice-cemented rock glaciers ordinarily do not possess these features. As applied to 18 rock glaciers in the Colorado Front Range, 11 of 12 east of the Continental Divide are ice-cored, 6 west of the Divide are ice-cemented. The majority of lobate rock glaciers in the Colorado Front Range are on the south sides of valleys, and, except for talus, are the most voluminous form of mass wasting. All those active and above treeline have characteristics common to all rock glaciers. In addition, they originate from talus, contain interstitial ice, move outward from valley walls at 1–6 cm/yr, and transport more debris as a process of erosion than heretofore realized. Block fields and block slopes, in polar and alpine regions, are thin accumulations of angular to subrounded blocks, on bedrock, weathered rock, or transported debris. They extend along slopes parallel to the contour. Block streams are similar but extend downslope normal to the contour and into valleys. They are made of interlocked blocks without interstitial detritus, but many have finer material deeper inside. The fabric of surface blocks indicates that motion most likely occurred during a periglacial time when interstitial debris, now washed or piped out, permitted movement of the whole deposit.     

Geochemistry and protoliths of the metabasite-enderbite association of the Dzhugdzhur block,Aldan Shield

The bottom of the stratigraphic sequence of the Dzhugdzhur deep-seated granulite complex was determined to consist of a stratified metabasite-enderbite association. The distributions of major and trace elements indicate that the protoliths of the association were volcanic rocks of the calc-alkaline, komatiite-tholeiite, and picrite series. The model assumed for the genesis of the protolithic volcanics of the metabasite-enderbite association includes two stages. The first of them was responsible for the decompression-induced partial melting of the material of an ascending mantle plume with the derivation of melts of the komatiite-tholeiite series. During the second stage, the volcanics of the calc-alkaline series were produced by the partial melting of the metabasite crust under the effect of the heat of the ascending mantle plume. The protoliths of the metabasite-enderbite association were formed in the Early Proterozoic.     

西藏拉萨地块MORB型榴辉岩的岩石地球化学特征

松多榴辉岩的SiO2、Al2O3含量分别为45.3%～50.6%、12.93%～14.27%,K2O Na2O为1.3%～2.8%,TFeO/MgO为1.11～2.02,CaO为10.4%～14.47%,K2O<0.3%,Na2O为0.97%～2.47%。总体上具有玄武质或辉长质岩石的成分特征,属于钙碱性系列,具有MORB的特征,表明其原岩来自大洋环境。松多榴辉岩大多数样品的稀土元素配分模式显示轻稀土元素亏损,无明显的Eu异常,重稀土元素平坦。微量元素蛛网图均显示从Zr到Yb属于平坦型,基本上未发生分馏。松多榴辉岩的LaN/YbN比值为0.19～0.56,LaN/CeN为0.75～0.81,LaN/SmN为0.37～0.81,三者均小于1;Hf/Th除了石英榴辉岩中的06Y-344样品为6.81外,其他样品为11.10～33.97,均大于8;Ce/Nb为2.72～19.02,均大于2;Th/Yb为0.01～0.10,均小于或等于0.1,也说明其原岩具有典型MORB的特征。锆石SHRIMPU-Pb定年获得松多榴辉岩的变质年龄为261Ma±5.3Ma,推测其原岩可能为古特提斯洋盆的残留。     

Faults and associated fault rocks of the Southern Arunta block, Alice Springs, Central Australia

The Southern Arunta block within the Alice Springs region is dissected by an E-W-trending network of high-angle reverse faults. Microstructural evidence indicates that there is a change from dominantly ductile to brittle faulting southwards across the block towards the Amadeus Basin, and this suggests that the faults in the north were progressively uplifted by the more southern faults. The generation of ultramylonite has been particularly extensive in the Alice Springs region. TEM and SEM observations have allowed an appraisal of the deformation mechanisms at ultrafine grainsizes and suggest complex interactions between dislocation processes, diffusion and grain-boundary sliding.     

Seismic stability analysis of a rock block using the block theory and Newmark method

Seismic stability analysis of a rock block is an important issue in the field of rock mechanics and rock engineering. To solve this problem, the block theory and the Newmark method are combined, and a general method for seismic response of a rock block is introduced. First, the formation method of a three-dimensional rock block, which includes establishing a topological relationship among the block-polygon face-edge-vertex and dividing a complex block into convex subblocks, is presented, and the simplex integration method is employed to calculate the volume of a rock block and the areas of the polygonal faces. Second, the assumptions and algorithms of the general method for seismic response of a rock block are detailed. The dynamic analysis is carried out in time step. In each time step, the key technologies including analysis of the seismic force and motion mode, trial of the incremental displacement, check for the block entrance, and update of the motion parameters are performed in order. Last, two verification examples and three application examples including a wedge, a rock block of slope, and a combined rock block are used to analyze the correctness and practicality of the general method. The results show that, for a given ground motion record, the Newmark program can effectively simulate the dynamic response process of the motion mode, velocity, and safety factor of the rock block, and the permanent displacement under the earthquake action is obtained, which provides a quantitative parameter to evaluate the dynamic stability of a rock block.     

板块观点与断块、槽台学说的交融

 谢鸣谦教授的《拼贴板块构造及其驱动机理》(以下简称《拼贴》)从板块观点对中国东北及邻区的大地构造进行了深入的探讨,书中提出的“微板块”与“拼贴”两词是讨论该区大地构造演化的关键词和核心内容。从书中体现出的学术思想看,作者并不唯板块是从。论述板块,但不拘泥于板块,反映出他对唯学说论的超越。岩石圈演化是客观存在,人们立足于局限的时间和空间试图去探知久远的岩石圈演化,不可能轻易得出结论;岩石圈演化的复杂性,决定它不可能成为某一学派绝对认识的试验场。这可能是作者必须拓宽视野的最根本的出发点,故《拼贴》一书熔断块构造、槽台学说和板块理论于一炉。     

Kinematics and geochronology of multistage ductile deformation along the eastern Alxa block,NW China: New constraints on the relationship between the North China Plate and the Alxa block

The NE-trending Bayanwula Shan–Lang Shan is an important tectonic belt lying between the North China Plate (NCP) to the east and the Alxa block to the west. An understanding of its nature and the timing of deformation are essential to understand the relationship between the NCP and the Alxa block. Two phases of ductile deformation have been observed in this belt. Large-scale top-to-the-west ductile thrusting characterized the early deformation in the Bayanwula Shan–Lang Shan. Nearly east–west trending quartz stretching lineations and lineations formed by amphibole and biotite are well developed. Different types of sheath and oblique folds with east–west trending fold hinges are also developed in the region. The shear strain of this ductile thrust is up to 17. The ductile deformation may have resulted from the top-to-the-west thrusting of the northern part of the NCP over the Alxa block, and may have occurred ca. 351 Ma (biotite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age). Later ductile deformation was expressed as NE-trending sinistral shear along the entire Bayanwula Shan–Lang Shan and likely occurred ca. 250 Ma (biotite and muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages); this shear may have resulted from the collision between the Yangtze and North China plates to the south during the Triassic. Combined with recently obtained detrital zircon U–Pb ages for the area, the ductile deformation events in the eastern Alxa block indicate that the block may not have been part of the NCP, at least before the end of the Devonian. Both blocks were located in the Paleo-Asian Ocean during the Paleozoic and collided or amalgamated with each other at the end of the Devonian.
