大别山超高压变质带中“脉状”榴辉岩的锆石U-Pb年龄

榴辉岩广泛分布于大别山超高压变质带中,出露规模大小不等,成因类型复杂,围岩类型多样,不仅产于基性、超基性岩中,还产于片麻岩、大理岩、石英硬玉岩、变质花岗岩中。对大别山超高压变质带出露的两处"脉状"榴辉岩进行锆石U Pb年龄测定,分别获得上交点年龄(858±25)Ma和(845±150)Ma,下交点年龄(249±20)Ma和(237±13)Ma,表明其原岩形成时代为新元古代,印支期发生过高压—超高压变质作用,与大别山超高压变质带中其他类型的榴辉岩年龄基本一致。     

承德北部高压基性麻粒岩的同位素年龄及其地质意义

最近在承德市北部地区发现了许多呈透镜状包体产于花岗片麻岩中的高压基性麻粒岩。运用全岩Ｓｍ －Ｎｄ、Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ、单颗粒锆石Ｕ－Ｐｂ 等多种同位素方法对这些高压麻粒岩进行了年代测定,得出了７个可供研究的年龄数据,即全岩Ｓｍ －Ｎｄ 等时线年龄２５５０±２１Ｍａ和３０６０±２．３Ｍａ,全岩Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ等时线年龄１５５０±３３Ｍａ 和１５６８Ｍａ,和单颗粒锆石Ｕ－Ｐｂ 同位素不一致线的上、下交点年龄分别为３４３２±５５６Ｍａ 和１８１７±１７Ｍａ, 颗粒锆石的谐和年龄１８３１±４ Ｍａ。在详细分析这些年代学数据可能的地质解释的基础上,认为该区的高压麻粒岩经历了复杂的地质演化过程,推测其原岩最早可能形成于新太古代早期至中太古代,并经受了太古宙末期花岗质岩浆侵入和变质作用改造。但其高压麻粒岩相变质很可能是古元古代末一次碰撞造山作用的产物, 最终进入上地壳可能在中元古代早期才完成, 与中元古代地壳的大规模拉张和燕辽裂陷槽的形成有关     

大别山北部榴辉岩和英云闪长质片麻岩锆石U-Pb年龄及多期变质增生

大别山北部榴辉岩及英云闪长质片麻岩的锆石U-Pb年龄分析表明：北部榴辉岩相峰期变质时代为226～230Ma左右;北部塔儿河一带英云闪长质片麻岩经历过印支期变质事件;大别山北部与南部超高压岩石中一致的（226～230Ma）高压或超高压变质年龄表明,北部镁铁-超镁铁质岩带中部分岩石也曾作为扬子俯冲陆壳的一部分,在印支期发生过高压或超高压变质作用;本区锆石发生过两期变质增生事件,一是印支期高压或超高压变质,另一期是燕山期热变质事件;榴辉岩及英云闪长质片麻岩的原岩形成时代为晚元古代;锆石U-Pb年龄可用多期变质增生模型来解释。     

安徽碧溪岭含柯石英榴辉岩的U－Pb与~（40）Ar／~（39）年代学研究

安徽大别、苏北和山东胶南是世界上第三个发现含柯石英榴辉岩的地区。在关于苏鲁皖超高压变质带大地构造背景的学术讨论中，其时代问题成为当前争论的焦点。本文用锆石Ｕ－Ｐｂ法得到碧溪岭榴辉岩体谐和图上交点年龄２７７４．５±２４Ｍａ以及ｔ（~（２０７）Ｐｂ／~（２０６）Ｔｂ）平均表面年龄２６６２Ｍａ，提供了榴辉岩的原岩和超高压变质作用可能形成于晚太古代的信息；并用多硅白云母Ａｒ－Ａｒ法测得６６１．７±１３Ｍａ的退变质年龄，也表明本区榴辉岩可能是前寒武纪的产物；此外，还测得围岩大别群斜长片麻岩中的白云母以及榴辉岩中晚期交代的普通角闪石的Ａｒ－Ａｒ等时线年龄分别为１９２．５５±３．８５和２３０．７０±４．６１Ｍａ，代表后榴辉岩（ｐｏｓｔｅｃｌｏｇｉｔｅ）的印支期区域动力变质作用改造年龄。笔者对已报道的榴辉岩Ｓｍ－Ｎｄ年龄的地质意义进行了讨论，并指出了含石榴子石Ｓｍ－Ｎｄ矿物等时线定年法潜在的弊端。     

中国三条高温高压变质带及其地质意义

高温高压变质岩是指高温（热）榴辉岩－高压麻粒岩－石榴角闪岩的变质序列。其形成的大地构造环境为陆－陆碰撞或陆－弧碰撞带,而不形成于与洋壳有关的汇聚性板块边缘。中国境内有三条典型的高温高压变质带,它们是桑干－承德变质带,大别山－苏鲁变质带和南迦巴瓦变质带。变质时代分别是２５００Ｍａ,２１０～２４０Ｍａ和１７～１４Ｍａ。大别山－苏鲁变质带是中生代陆－陆碰撞带根部变质杂岩,代表了华北与扬子两个陆块拼合的界限。年轻的南迦巴瓦变质带是陆－弧碰撞带变质岩系,高压麻粒岩除了在冈第斯岩浆弧的根部以透镜体出露外,主要代表了被掀斜抬升的印度陆块的基底下地壳岩石。桑干－承德变质带是华北克拉通内的高压麻粒岩－榴辉岩转换相的变质带,表明在晚太古代已有与显生宙相似的形成高压变质带的大地构造机制。     

含柯石英锆石的SHRIMP U-Pb定年:胶东印支期超高压变质作用的证据

苏鲁超高压变质带的形成时代究竟是印支期还是新元古代争议始终很大。对山东胶南地区超高压变质带中超镁铁岩和榴辉岩的锆石激光拉曼、阴极发光和离子探针原位定年的研究获得超高压变质作用发生的时代为印支期。其中超镁铁岩含柯石英锆石的年龄为221±12Ma,该深成岩侵位时代为新元古代(581±44Ma)。此外,锆石中另有约400Ma年龄记录,可能代表岩石形成后另有一期热事件。榴辉岩的下交点年龄为228±29 Ma,与超镁铁岩含柯石英锆石年龄一致,代表超高压变质时代;上交点为中元古代(1821±19Ma),代表原岩年龄,后者与其片麻岩围岩时代相一致,说明榴辉岩是原位俯冲。     

北祁连中段高压/低温混杂带——岩石学、地球化学和年代学证据

详细的野外研究结果表明,北祁连中段清水沟-香子沟高压低温变质带中出露的变质岩主要有榴辉岩、蓝片岩、多硅白云母石英片岩、变硅质岩、大理岩和蛇纹岩。地球化学测试结果表明,榴辉岩原岩为大洋中脊玄武岩和洋岛拉斑玄武岩;蓝片岩有两种类型,第1种蓝片岩原岩为基性-中基性火山岩,第2种蓝片岩原岩主要形成环境为大洋岛弧和/或大陆岛弧的沉积岩;多硅白云母石英片岩的原岩主要形成于大陆边缘环境;变硅质岩的原岩为形成于远离大陆边缘的沉积环境中的热水成因硅质岩;大理岩原岩为灰岩。榴辉岩锆石SHRIMP定年结果显示其原岩年龄为500±4 Ma,第1种蓝片岩原岩年龄为529±5 Ma。锆石Lu-Hf同位素表明,榴辉岩原岩明显受到了古老地壳的影响,基性蓝片岩的原岩源区为亏损地幔,后期没有或者极微弱地受到地壳物质的影响。结合已有研究资料,认为北祁连高压/低温变质带中变质岩的原岩类型具有明显的多样性特征,且原岩时代具有多期性特征。上述研究结果表明,古祁连洋在早古生代向北俯冲过程中,携带了不同性质和时代的岩石进入俯冲带深部,形成高压/低温变质条件下的混杂带,代表了早古生代与洋壳俯冲有关的俯冲隧道。     

大别山西部河南罗山熊店加里东期榴辉岩锆石特征及SHRIMP分析结果

熊店榴辉岩产于大别山西部苏家河构造混杂岩带内,是典型的高压一超高压中温榴辉岩。作者应用岩学结合阴极发光和扫描电镜方法,较系统地研究了榴辉岩中锆石在岩石中的赋存状态、内部结构及表面特征。锆石主要产于石榴子石等变质矿物内,与主晶界面清晰,具有多晶面等变质锆石特有形貌特征,内部均或发育变质生长结构,从而说明它们是变质作用的产物。ＳＨＲＩＭＰ分析表明,锆石＾２０６Ｐｂ／＾２３８Ｕ年龄为３３５～４２４Ｍａ,     

大别山超高压变质岩形成深度的同位素限制

大别山超高压变质岩形成深度是各国地质学家十分关心的问题。它不仅影响对碰撞造山带形成机制和演化过程的认识,而且影响对地球深部状况及地球动力学的研究。该文对大别山超高压变质岩已有同位素资料进行了分析与讨论。大别山榴辉岩的ε_Nd为-6.2~-17,ε_Sr为18~42,且显示明显的Nd同位素的不平衡现象。大别山榴辉岩的氧同位素组成研究表明,这些榴辉岩的原岩在超高压变质前,不同程度地与贫18O的大气降水(或海水)发生过氧同位素交换,且在超高压变质过程中依然保留了这些痕迹。除一个样品外,大别-苏鲁地区的榴辉岩的3He/4He比值都落在0.79×10-7~9.35×10-7范围内,显示陆壳岩石来源He的重要贡献。所有Sr-Nd、O和He同位素研究均表明:超高压变质岩保存着表壳岩石原岩的同位素特征,而未显示变质时受到地幔物质的明显影响。对于超高压变质岩的上述同位素特征,有人认为是由于大别山造山带俯冲和折返的速度太快造成的。由于造山带俯冲和折返的速度太快,表壳岩石原岩变质时来不及与地幔物质发生交换,故没有留下地幔物质参与的痕迹。该研究认为这种解释有些勉强,因为大别造山带俯冲和折返时间至少需要15Ma.在如此长的时间内,在100多公里地幔深处高于700℃的高温下发生超高压变质作用,表壳岩石原岩不可能不与地幔物质发生同位素交换。相反,如果认为大别山超高压变质岩就在地壳内形成,则大别山超高压变质岩同位素的所有特征就很好解释了。      

北秦岭松树沟榴辉岩的确定及其地质意义

松树沟石榴石角闪岩(榴闪岩)呈透镜状产于松树沟超镁铁岩旁侧的斜长角闪岩中,一直以来被认为是形成于接触交代变质或麻粒岩相变质过程。详细岩相学及矿物元素分析,在榴闪岩的基质矿物、石榴石幔部及锆石包体中发现残留的绿辉石,而且石榴石也保存了明显的进变质主、微量元素成分环带,表明松树沟榴闪岩为榴辉岩退变质的产物,至少经历了从角闪岩相到榴辉岩相再到角闪岩相的三阶段顺时针PT演化过程。锆石定年结果得到榴辉岩的变质年龄为500±8Ma,原岩结晶时代为796±16Ma,与秦岭岩群北侧官坡超高压榴辉岩的变质年龄和原岩年龄完全一致,也与北秦岭区域高压-超高压变质时代和原岩的结晶时代一致。表明松树沟榴辉岩与北秦岭造山带已发现的高压-超高压变质岩石一起都应是古生代大陆深俯冲作用的结果,而松树沟超镁铁岩可能是俯冲的大陆板片在折返过程中携带的俯冲隧道中的交代地幔岩。     

~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb Zircon Dating of the Huangtuling Hypersthene-Garnet-Biotite Gneiss from the Dabie Mountains, Luotian County, Hubei Province, China: New Evidence for Early Precambrian Evolution

The Huangtuling hypersthene-garnet-biotite gneiss at Luotian County, Hubei Provine, is a typicalgranulite-facies rock of the Dabie Group Complex in the Dabie orogenic belt. Investigations on the morphology andoccurrence of zircons and their internal structures shown in the thin sections lead to the recognition of three types ofzircons, which are in good agreement with the types identified on the basis of morphology, colour and external fea-tures from the related zircon concentrates. The observation of zircons in the rock reveals that part of type 1 zirconsshow signs of a double-layered structure. The interval part existed in the protolith prior to the granulite-facies meta-morphism. Type 2, the prismatic zircons which mainly occur in garnet and hypersthene are metamorphic minerals ofthe granulite-facies metamorphism. Type 3, the round multifaceted zircons in felsic minerals and biotite, are proba-bly attributed to a later geological event related to migmatization. The ~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb zircon dating by direct evaporationon (thermal evaporation ion mass spectrometer) yields ages ranging from 2814 Ma to 1992 Ma. The age discrepancyamong these different zircon types is conspicuous. The yellow-brown(type 1) zircons give ages of 2814±29 Ma to2527±6 Ma, the prismatic euhedral zircons (type 2), 2456±7 Ma to 2254±4 Ma, and the round multifaceted zircons(type 3), 1992±10 Ma. The results are geologically interpreted in consideration of the complicated behaviours of zir-cons during Precambrian geological evolution of the Dabie area. (1) If the protolith of the gneiss is a sedimentaryrock, then type 1 zircons are clastic ones and the ages 2814±29 Ma and 2811±27 Ma may reflect the minimum age ofthe rocks of its source region. also the first geological event in the area. Sedimentation of the protolith occurred be-tween 2814 Ma and 2527 Ma, probably close to 2814 Ma. If the protolith is a volcanic rock, then the formation age ofthe supracrustal rocks of the Dabie Group Complex is around 2814 Ma. The age 2456±7 Ma reflects the time whenthe granulite-facies metamorphism took place. The later migmatization event is dated at aboat 1992±10 Ma, and isprobably the latest early Precambrian event in the area. The present work provides geochronological evidence for the existence of the Dabie Archaean craton, whichhad probably experienced 3 or 4 geological events during its early Precambrian evolution.     

西大别南缘印支期吕王-高桥-永佳河构造混杂岩带的厘定及其构造意义

在西大别造山带的区调工作中,新识别出一系列中元古代末-新元古代的岩石-构造单元,它们沿着吕王-高桥-永佳河一线展布,并构成一条NNW-SEE向展布的构造混杂岩带.该混杂岩带主要由超镁铁质-镁铁质岩、硅泥质岩、石英质岩、大理岩、含碳陆源碎屑岩、双峰式火山岩以及卷入其中的榴辉岩等多种变质岩块(片)共同组成,并赋存于一套遭受了强烈剪切变形的泥质片岩之中.混杂岩带内各岩块(片)的原岩年龄跨度较大(>4亿年),分别集中在1 200~1 100 Ma和800~700 Ma之间.锆石记录的变质年龄和云母的冷却年龄则主要集中在240~200 Ma之间.结合接触关系、岩性组合、年代学及地球化学数据的综合研究认为,混杂岩带的物质来源既包括中元古代末-新元古代早期的弧-弧后盆地系统的沉积岩-火山岩-侵入岩;也包括叠置其上的新元古代中-晚期大陆裂解期的沉积岩-火成岩.这些不同时代、不同性质岩石在三叠纪不同程度地卷入了华南陆块北缘向华北陆块之下的俯冲,而后快速折返,最终沿着区域上折返断裂(桃花-七角山断裂)就位于西大别造山带之中,形成一条包含高压-超高压变质岩的三叠纪构造混杂岩带.混杂岩带内新厘定的中元古代末弧-弧后岩浆-沉积事件,可与大洪山-黄陵庙湾同时期的地质事件对比,它们共同揭示扬子北缘曾经存在一条中元古代末-新元古代早期的俯冲岩浆带.      

Identification of repeated Alpine (ultra) high-pressure metamorphic events by U–Pb SHRIMP geochronology and REE geochemistry of zircon: the Rhodope zone of Northern Greece

U–Pb sensitive high resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) zircon geochronology, combined with REE geochemistry, has been applied in order to gain insight into the complex polymetamorphic history of the (ultra) high pressure [(U)HP] zone of Rhodope. Dating included a paragneiss of Central Rhodope, for which (U)HP conditions have been suggested, an amphibolitized eclogite, as well as a leucosome from a migmatized orthogneiss at the immediate contact to the amphibolitized eclogite, West Rhodope. The youngest detrital zircon cores of the paragneiss yielded ca. 560 Ma. This date indicates a maximum age for sedimentation in this part of Central Rhodope. The concentration of detrital core ages of the paragneiss between 670–560 Ma and around 2 Ga is consistent with a Gondwana provenance of the eroded rocks in this area of Central Rhodope. Metamorphic zircon rims of the same paragneiss yielded a lower intercept ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 148.8±2.2 Ma. Variable post-148.8 Ma Pb-loss in the outermost zircon rims of the paragneiss, in combination with previous K–Ar and SHRIMP-data, suggest that this rock of Central Rhodope underwent an additional Upper Eocene (ca. 40 Ma) metamorphic/fluid event. In West Rhodope, the co-magmatic zircon cores of the amphibolitized eclogite yielded a lower intercept ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 245.6±3.9 Ma, which is interpreted as the time of crystallization of the gabbroic protolith. The metamorphic zircon rims of the same rock gave a lower intercept ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 51.0±1.0 Ma. REE data on the metamorphic rims of the zircons from both the paragneiss of Central Rhodope and the amphibolitized eclogite of West Rhodope show no Eu anomaly in the chondrite-normalized patterns, indicating that they formed at least under HP conditions. Flat or nearly flat HREE profiles of the same zircons are consistent with the growth of garnet at the time of zircon formation. Low Nb and Ta contents of the zircon rims in the amphibolitized eclogite indicate concurrent growth of rutile. Based on the REE characteristics, the 148.8±2.2 Ma age of the garnet–kyanite paragneiss, Central Rhodope and the 51.0±1.0 Ma age of the amphibolitized eclogite, West Rhodope are interpreted to reflect the time close to the (U)HP and HP metamorphic peaks, respectively, with a good approximation. The magmatic zircon cores of the leucosome in the migmatized orthogneiss, West Rhodope, gave a lower intercept ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 294.3±2.4 Ma for the crystallization of the granitoid protolith of the orthogneiss. Two oscillatory zircon rims around the Hercynian cores, yielded ages of 39.7±1.2 and 38.1±0.8 Ma (2σ errors), which are interpreted as the time of leucosome formation during migmatization. The zircons in the leucosome do not show the 51 Ma old HP metamorphism identified in the neighboring amphibolitized eclogite, possibly because the two rock types were brought together tectonically after 51 Ma. If one takes into account the two previously determined ages of ca. 73 Ma for (U)HP metamorphism in East Rhodope, as well as the ca. 42 Ma for HP metamorphism in Thermes area, Central Rhodope, four distinct events of (U)HP metamorphism throughout Alpine times can be distinguished: 149, 73, 51 and 42 Ma. Thus, it is envisaged that the Rhodope consists of different terranes, which resulted from multiple Alpine subductions and collisions of micro-continents, rather similar to the presently accepted picture in the Central and Western Alps. It is likely that these microcontinents were rifted off from thinned continental margins of Gondwana, between the African and the European plates before the onset of Alpine convergence.     

大别造山带新太古代地壳岩石和古元古代混合岩化作用——来自锆石U- Pb年代学和Hf同位素证据

大别造山带北大别超高压变质带是研究秦岭-大别-苏鲁造山带古老基底演化过程的关键区域,其内广泛发育的混合岩长期被认为主要形成于中生代。本文对北大别团风一带新识别出的一套混合岩开展了锆石U-Pb定年和Hf同位素组成分析,结果显示,混合岩第一类锆石核部具有岩浆锆石特点,组成的不一致线上交点年龄为2850±86 Ma,该年龄代表了混合岩原岩年龄。第二类锆石具有变质深熔锆石特点,其加权平均207Pb/206Pb年龄为2011±12 Ma,代表了混合岩化的时间。岩浆锆石多数具有负的εHf(t)值(-8.1~2.2),对应两阶段Hf同位素模式年龄(TDM2)为3.6~3.0 Ga,表明原岩可能为大别造山带内古太古代地壳物质重熔形成,并可能在形成过程中伴有少量幔源物质加入。与之相比,变质锆石均具有正的εHf(t)值(0.3~8.2),对应TDM2为2.7~2.2 Ga,说明在混合岩化变质深熔过程中锆石Lu-Hf同位素体系完全开放,导致了锆石Hf同位素组成的升高。本文研究表明,大别造山带除了中生代混合岩化作用以外,还存在古元古代与Columbia超大陆聚合过程相关的一期混合岩化作用,为目前已知的大别造山带内最早一期混合岩化作用。此外,该套混合岩原岩为太古宙岩石,且对应模式年龄高达3.6 Ga,这扩展了目前已知的大别造山带最古老岩石信息范围,表明大别造山带内太古宙古老地壳物质可能不仅局限于黄土岭一带,还在北大别更广泛地区出露。     

SHRIMP U–Pb dating of coesite-bearing zircon from the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks, Sulu terrane, east China

This paper provides further evidence for the ongoing discussion as to whether the Dabie UHPM belt formed in Triassic or Palaeozoic time, and whether the Sulu UHPM belt formed in Triassic or Neoproterozoic time. Combined use of laser Raman spectrometer (LR), cathodoluminescence imaging (CL), and ion probe U–Pb in‐situ dating (SHRIMP) provided accurate ages of UHPM from rocks collected from Weihai, NE Sulu UHPM belt. LR was used to identify coesite and other UHP minerals as inclusions in zircon separates from an amphibolized peridotite and an eclogite. CL was used to examine the zoning structure of these zircon, and SHRIMP dating was performed on specific spots on zircon to obtain ages of different geological events. An age of 221 ± 12 Ma was obtained for coesite‐bearing zircon from the amphibolized peridotite; an age of 228 ± 29 Ma for eclogite was obtained from the lower intercept of a concordia plot. These ages are interpreted as the time of UHPM in the Weihai region. Ultramafic rocks to the east of Weihai yield a magmatic age at 581 ± 44 Ma. The zircon in the ultramafic rocks possibly also records a thermal event at c. 400 Ma, but no independent geological evidence for this event has been found. The eclogite protolith formed in the Middle Proterozoic (1821 ± 19 Ma), which is similar to the age of country rock gneisses of 1847–1744 Ma. The new geochronological data confirm that UHPM occurred in the Triassic in the Sulu area when subduction took the ultramafic body and the eclogite protolith, together with the adjacent supracrustal rocks, to mantle depths.     

西大别浒湾变质带洋壳和陆壳耦合俯冲的锆石U-Pb年龄记录及其动力学意义

西大别浒湾高压变质带是研究秦岭-大别-苏鲁造山带演化的关键区域.本文对该变质带熊店和学河两地的两个榴辉岩样品进行了LA-(MC)-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年、微量元素分析及Hf同位素测定.熊店榴辉岩岩浆锆石得到的年龄为406±14Ma,具有高的εHf(t)值(εHf(t)=11.3±1.3),年轻的亏损地幔模式年龄(tDM=578±52Ma),其来源可能为亏损地幔,进而说明它们的原岩可能为古特提斯洋壳物质;学河榴辉岩岩浆锆石的年龄为703±8Ma,具有略低的εHf(t)值(εHf(t)=4.11±0.94),较老的亏损地幔模式年龄(tDM=1105±37Ma),其原岩可能为扬子克拉通新元古代裂谷岩浆作用产生的新生陆壳物质.这些结果表明浒湾地区存在原岩形成于新元古代和志留纪两个时期的榴辉岩.熊店榴辉岩中变质锆石的微量元素特征与岩浆锆石类似,可能为完全重结晶成因锆石,其206Ph/238U加权平均年龄为316±1Ma,代表了洋壳榴辉岩榴辉岩相峰期变质的最早时间.学河榴辉岩变质锆石以低Th/U、Nb/Ta比值为特征,其REE组成模式为不明显的Eu负异常,HREE呈平坦型.这些特征反映了这些锆石形成时出现了较大数量的石榴子石与金红石,而缺乏长石.根据锆石Ti温度计计算学河榴辉岩变质锆石形成的温度范围是704～741℃,与榴辉岩相变质温度一致.它们对应的206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为312±3Ma,可作为浒湾变质带榴辉岩相峰期变质年龄,这一结果表明浒湾变质带陆壳成因榴辉岩存在石炭纪榴辉岩相变质事件.空间上相近的古生代洋壳和新元古代陆壳具有相同的榴辉岩相变质年龄表明,浒湾变质带的洋壳和陆壳榴辉岩可能存在石炭纪的耦合俯冲作用.     

柴达木盆地北缘新元古代-早古生代大洋的形成、发展和消亡

柴达木盆地北缘构造带是一条典型的早古生代造山带,是由陆壳深俯冲形成的高压/超高压变质带,产于其中的高压/超高压变质岩石原岩形成时代普遍大于750Ma,原岩的性质为陆壳属性,但柴北缘东段都兰沙柳河地区出露的含柯石英榴辉岩原岩的形成时代为516Ma,原岩的性质为洋壳属性,证实柴北缘局部地段还存在洋壳深俯冲,柴北缘地区可能记录了从大洋俯冲到大陆俯冲再到碰撞造山这一完整的演化历史。本文主要从岩石学、年代学、地球化学以及同位素地球化学等方面对柴北缘地区陆壳深俯冲前新元古代-早古生代大洋发展与演化的岩石记录进行了系统总结,认为柴北缘地区在700~850Ma时受Rodinia超大陆裂解事件的影响发生了裂解;535~700Ma时在裂解事件的基础上形成了一个新元古代-早古生代的大洋,沿柴北缘连续分布的岩石记录表明该洋盆可能在早古生代已具有一定的规模;460~535Ma时该洋壳发生了俯冲消减作用;450~460Ma期间洋盆闭合消失。这一认识对全面深入了解柴北缘高压/超高压变质带早古生代构造演化历史具有重要意义。     

北祁连东段红土堡基性火山岩锆石LA -IC P-MS U-Pb年代学及其地质意义

为精确限定红土堡基性火山岩的形成时代，结合阴极发光分析，分别对北祁连东段红土堡枕状玄武岩和辉绿岩墙进行了LA - ICP - MS 单颗粒锆石微区U - Pb 同位素测年。红土堡枕状玄武岩获得（443.4 ±1.7 ）Ma 和（1 782 ±34 ）Ma 两组年龄值；同时，获得红土堡基性火山岩中辉绿岩墙的年龄为（385.7 ±7.9 ）Ma，并含有（1 697 ±6 ） ～（2 692 ±4 ）Ma 的捕晶锆石年龄信息。认为红土堡基性火山岩的形成时代为晚奥陶世，与其北的陈家河中酸性火山岩的形成时代大体一致，推断红土堡基性火山岩的原始岩浆不同程度遭受了陇山岩群的混染。这一新资料，对进一步研究北祁连造山带东段大地构造格局、构造演化以及北秦岭—北祁连衔接关系具有重要意义。     

Eclogite origin and timings in the North Qinling terrane,and their bearing on the amalgamation of the South and North China Blocks

The amalgamation of South (SCB) and North China Blocks (NCB) along the Qinling‐Dabie orogenic belt involved several stages of high pressure (HP)‐ultra high pressure (UHP) metamorphism. The new discovery of UHP metamorphic rocks in the North Qinling (NQ) terrane can provide valuable information on this process. However, no precise age for the UHP metamorphism in the NQ terrane has been documented yet, and thus hinders deciphering of the evolution of the whole Qinling‐Dabie‐Sulu orogenic belt. This article reports an integrated study of U–Pb age, trace element, mineral inclusion and Hf isotope composition of zircon from an eclogite, a quartz vein and a schist in the NQ terrane. The zircon cores in the eclogite are characterized by oscillatory zoning or weak zoning, high Th/U and ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios, pronounced Eu anomalies and steep heavy rare earth element (HREE) patterns. The zircon cores yield an age of 796 ± 13 Ma, which is taken as the protolith formation age of the eclogite, and implies that the NQ terrane may belong to the SCB before it collided with the NCB. The ?_Hf(t) values vary from ?11.3 to 3.2 and corresponding two‐stage Hf model ages are 2402 to 1495 Ma, suggesting the protolith was derived from an enriched mantle. In contrast, the metamorphic zircon rims show no zoning or weak zoning, very low Th/U and ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios, insignificant Eu anomalies and flat HREE patterns. They contain inclusions of garnet, omphacite and phengite, suggesting that the metamorphic zircon formed under eclogite facies metamorphic conditions, and their weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 485.9 ± 3.8 Ma was interpreted to date the timing of the eclogite facies metamorphism. Zircon in the quartz vein is characterized by perfect euhedral habit, some oscillatory zoning, low Th/U ratios and variable HREE contents. It yields a weighted mean U–Pb age of 480.5 ± 2.5 Ma, which registers the age of fluid activity during exhumation. Zircon in the schist is mostly detrital and U–Pb age peaks at c. 1950 to 1850, 1800 to 1600, 1560 to 1460 and 1400 to 1260 Ma with an oldest grain of 2517 Ma, also suggesting that the NQ terrane may have an affinity to the SCB. Accordingly, the amalgamation between the SCB and the NCB is a multistage process that spans c. 300 Myr, which includes: the formation of the Erlangping intra‐oceanic arc zone onto the NCB before c. 490 Ma, the c. 485 Ma crustal subduction and UHP metamorphism of the NQ terrane, the c. 430 Ma arc‐continent collision and granulite facies metamorphism, the 420 to 400 Ma extension and rifting in relation to the opening of the Palaeo‐Tethyan ocean, the c. 310 Ma HP eclogite facies metamorphism of oceanic crust and associated continental basement, and the final 250 to 220 Ma continental subduction and HP–UHP metamorphism.
