柴北缘锡铁山花岗质片麻岩深熔作用年代和冷却历史:来自浅色体~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年代学证据

长英质浅色体广泛出露于柴北缘造山带中段锡铁山地体花岗质片麻岩中,多呈脉状、不规则透镜状顺区域片麻理走向产出,主要由钾长石、斜长石、角闪石、石英以及少量黑云母组成,是黑云母花岗质片麻岩深融作用的产物。温压估算获得其形成条件为P=(6.5~9.6)′102 MPa,T=640~690℃,达麻粒岩相。选取浅色体角闪石和钾长石单矿物进行激光阶段加热~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年。角闪石共进行了17个阶段,其中3~17阶段数据形成平坦年龄谱,坪年龄为442.5±4.0 Ma;构成年龄坪的数据对应的等时线年龄为441.6±3.9 Ma,相应初始捕获氩比值为303±4,暗示该角闪石样品不含过剩~(40)Ar。坪年龄~442.5 Ma解释为角闪石初始结晶年龄,代表了锡铁山地区黑云母片麻岩发生深融(混合岩化)的时代。共生钾长石阶段加热获得一个低温和一个高温坪,坪年龄分别为307.5±2.9 Ma和323.3±3.0 Ma;等时线图谱暗示该钾长石样品未受过剩~(40)Ar干扰。坪年龄分别代表浅色体冷却到钾长石封闭温度~200℃和~250℃的时间。~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年结果显示锡铁山黑云母片麻岩深熔作用后经历了低速抬升(0.1~0.2 km/Ma)和缓慢冷却(3~3.6℃/Ma)的演化历史。     

喜马拉雅中段哲古拉花岗岩中高压麻粒岩包体及其主岩的^40Ar／^39Ar年代学研究

为了深入了解喜马拉雅构造带的地质演化历史,同时为了探讨作为建立高压变质条件下的同位素年代学方法的重要前提的同位素体系特征,对出露于喜马拉雅中段西藏哲古拉地区的高压麻粒岩包体中的峰期矿物和退变质矿物及其主岩花岗岩中的富钾矿物进行了常规~(40)Ar/~(39) Ar 年代学研究。花岗岩中的黑云母坪年龄为11.48±0.18Ma,钾长石坪年龄为12.63±0.19Ma,二者的等时线年龄与之相当,分别为11.63Ma 和12.58Ma。高压麻粒岩峰期矿物黑云母的坪年龄为48.5±0.54Ma,等时线年龄为48.95±0.83Ma,(~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar)_i 为285;退变质矿物角闪石的坪年龄谱呈马鞍形,坪区数据对应的等时线年龄为31.1±5.4Ma,(~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar)_i 为394,显示有过剩~(40)Ar 的存在。结合前人的研究,推定高压麻粒岩经历了一个快速的退变质作用过程,不仅变质作用没有达到平衡,早期与晚期变质矿物之间也没有达成氩同位素交换平衡,在标本尺度上或高压麻粒岩包体与主岩花岗岩之间均是如此。根据~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar 年代学结果也可以了解到,在高压麻粒岩的退变质过程中,早期与晚期变质矿物之间的氩同位素体系有明显不同,这种氩同位素体系在不同变质阶段的不平衡记录为帮助建立不同变质地质事件的年代学序列提供了研究途径。依照获得的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar 年代学数据,可以建立喜马拉雅中段高压麻粒岩包体形成和演化的动力学过程:推定高压麻粒岩经受了两期变质作用的叠加,峰期变质老于48.5Ma,晚期变质发生在31Ma 前后;大约在17Ma 前后为其主岩花岗岩捕虏,并在11Ma～12Ma 之间被带至地表。文中对前人锆石 U-Pb 年龄进行了再分析,认为在高压变质作用条件下,由于熔体或流体从变质岩石中被抽提出去而限制了变质锆石的生长,因此,高压麻粒岩包体中的锆石 U-Pb 年龄没有能够记录高压变质事件。     

郯庐断裂带肥东段走滑运动的40Ar/39Ar法定年

郯庐断裂带在华北与华南板块碰撞之后是否发生过大规模左行平移及其准确的时间,仍然是存在着争议的重要问题。郯庐断裂肥东段地表出露了大规模的、北北东走向的韧性剪切带。野外构造、显微构造与石英C轴组构分析皆指示为左旋走滑韧性剪切带。糜棱岩中变形矿物组合与矿物变形行为指示该韧性剪切带形成于中—高绿片岩相环境。通过对该段走滑糜棱岩中角闪石与黑云母的40Ar/39Ar年代学研究,本次工作中获得了一个角闪石(N14)的40Ar/39Ar坪年龄为143.3±1.3Ma(早白垩世初),据变形温度判断其代表了该断裂带左行平移中的变形年龄。该糜棱岩(N14)中新生的黑云母40Ar/39Ar坪年龄为134.1±0.6Ma,而同一采场中另一糜棱岩(N13)中新生黑云母40Ar/39Ar坪年龄为130.3±0.6Ma,皆指示了左行平移活动的冷却年龄。另外4处走滑糜棱岩中黑云母的40Ar/39Ar坪年龄分别为137.2±0.8Ma(N47)、135.6±0.6Ma(N17)、124.8±0.7Ma(N21)和125.9±0.4Ma(N22),也都属于冷却年龄,反映了该走滑韧性剪带内的不均匀冷却现象。由此变形年龄与冷却年龄可以判断该断裂带的左行平移持续时间不超过6Ma左右。由N14糜棱岩中的角闪石与黑云母坪年龄得到该处的平均冷却速率为21.7℃/Ma,属于较快速的冷却。本次40Ar/39Ar测年结果,更可靠地证实了郯庐断裂     

四川西部雀儿山地区两个~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar法年龄测定结果讨论

用~(40)oAr/~(39)Ar法测定了四川西部雀儿山地区的两个样品(黑云母和角闪石)。测定结果,黑云母的坪年龄为247.2±0.3Ma;等时线年龄为245.8±0.3Ma;热事件年龄为86.7Ma。角闪石的坪年龄为157.6±0.2Ma;热事件年龄为38.8Ma。     

康定杂岩黑云母、角闪石^39Ar-^40Ar年龄及其意义

通过对康定杂岩黑云母、角闪石 Ar-Ar 年龄研究,得出康定杂岩黑云母、角闪石中 Ar 同位素组成明显存在地质离散,有过剩氩;Ar-Ar 年龄并不反映矿物形成后的变质冷却历史。坪的产生可能是由过剩~(40)Ar 存在于非晶粒边缘的缺陷之中,使其与放射性成因~(40)Ar 具有相似活化能,从而使不同种 Ar 组分等比例释气所致。经计算,样品中过剩氩约占氩总量的16%左右。     

西藏谢通门县雄村铜金矿主要地质体的40Ar/39Ar年龄及地质意义

雄村铜金矿Ⅱ号矿体在2007-2008年取得了重大的找矿突破,详细的地质编录成果表明,矿体同样受含眼球状石英斑晶的角闪石英闪长玢岩和角闪石英闪长玢岩控制.含眼球状石英斑晶的角闪石英闪长玢岩和角闪石英闪长玢岩的锆石U-Pb年龄已经确定(164～177 Ma),因此,雄村铜金矿不同地质体的云母类、长石类矿物Ar-Ar同位素年龄的测定显得尤为关键.文章通过对穿切I号矿体的黑云母花岗闪长岩、云煌岩脉的黑云母Ar-Ar同位素测年,结合其他研究者的成果,得到一组十分重要的年龄数据.穿插矿体的黑云母花岗闪长岩中的黑云母(样号6187-335)坪年龄(46.96±0.42)Ma,穿插矿体的无矿化的云煌岩(5053-324.4)(Cu含量0.0551%,Au含量0.034 g/t,Ag0.6 g/t)中的黑云母给出了一个较好的似坪年龄,加权平均年龄为(49.59±0.58)Ma.结合其他研究者测定的中侏罗世侵位的角闪石英闪长玢岩(不含矿)[锆石U-Pb年龄为(177.1±2.0)Ma]中黑云母的At-At同位素年龄为(48.57±0.31)Ma;含矿凝灰岩围岩[锆石U-Pb年龄为(176±5)Ma,MS3VD=0.63}的蚀变绢云母Ar-Ar年龄为(47.07±0.30)Ma;似伟晶岩中长石的At-At年龄为(47.62±0.7)Ma,认为不同形成时代、不同产出空间、不同矿化程度的地质体的云母类、长石类矿物的Ar-Ar同位素年龄的一致性,反映了后期岩浆热事件对中侏罗世早期形成的地质体和矿体的黑云母氩同位素体系产生了较强的扰动或置换.谢通门大岩基黑云母花岗闪长岩的侵位致使各地质体发生显著的退变质,形成典型的角岩化带,这种退变质的时限在46-48 Ma之间的始新世lutetian期,进而认为各地质体中云母类矿物的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar同位素年龄不能作为成矿年龄.     

华北地块南缘中段中生代花岗质岩石的40Ar-39Ar年代学研究

对华北地块南缘4个中生代花岗质岩体中的角闪石和黑云母进行了40Ar-39Ar定年研究。结果表明,陕西黑山村岩体黑云母花岗闪长岩中黑云母的40Ar-39Ar坪年龄为126. 6±0. 3Ma,河南马家湾岩体细粒黑云母花岗闪长岩中黑云母的40Ar-39Ar坪年龄为126. 6±0. 2Ma,河南洛宁南八百坡岩体黑云母二长花岗岩中角闪石的40Ar-39Ar坪年龄为128. 3±0. 3Ma,山西蚕坊岩体花岗闪长岩中角闪石的40Ar-39Ar坪年龄为129. 2±0. 2Ma。上述结果显示华北地块南缘中生代的岩浆活动主要发生在早白垩世。该期岩浆的产生应与中国东部早白垩世的伸展环境相联系。     

皖东侵入岩矿物Rb-Sr和Ar-Ar年代学及其与氧同位素平衡之间的关系

为探讨花岗质岩石中矿物O同位素平衡与Rb Sr矿物等时线年龄有效性之间的关系 ,测定了皖东屯仓与横山两个石英二长岩体中单矿物的Rb Sr和O同位素组成以及角闪石和黑云母的Ar Ar年龄。屯仓岩体的石英 -角闪石对温度为 5 4 5± 2 5℃ ,石英 -黑云母对温度为 4 6 0± 2 0℃ ,石英 -斜长石对温度 385± 4 0℃。横山岩体的石英 -角闪石对温度为 5 30± 2 5℃ ,石英 -黑云母对温度为 390± 15℃和石英 -斜长石对温度 2 85± 35℃。反映封闭体系中矿物在冷却过程中的退化交换再平衡。矿物间的氧同位素平衡对应于有地质意义的Rb Sr矿物等时线年龄。屯仓岩体的全岩 -角闪石 -斜长石Rb Sr等时线年龄 (12 8.4± 4 .7Ma)与角闪石的Ar Ar年龄 (12 5 .5 1± 0 .5 5Ma)在误差范围内一致 ,全岩 -角闪石 -斜长石 -黑云母Rb Sr等时线年龄 (12 0 .3± 2 .6Ma)与黑云母的Ar Ar年龄 (118.0± 0 .1Ma)一致。横山岩体的全岩 -角闪石 -斜长石Rb Sr矿物等时线年龄 (10 8± 15Ma)比角闪石的Ar Ar年龄 (12 5 .7± 1.8Ma)低 ,全岩 -角闪石 -斜长石 -黑云母Rb Sr等时线年龄 (118.6± 1.2Ma)小于黑云母的Ar Ar年龄 (12 0 .0± 0 .2Ma)。Rb Sr等时线年龄小于Ar Ar年龄是由于长石的蚀变引起的。大的等时线误差是由于Rb/Sr比值变化范围太小     

激光显微探针40Ar39Ar定年技术——大别山朱家冲榴闪岩年代学研究

高空间分辨率紫外激光显微探针40Ar–39Ar定年技术在钾矿物环带、次生加大边、多世代矿物和难分选矿物之年代学研究中发挥越来越重要的作用。本文利用该技术成功测定了南大别山朱家冲退变质榴辉岩之石榴子石环外的角闪石 “绿眼圈” 年龄为217 ± 3 Ma, 石榴子石环内的多硅白云母年龄265 ± 3 Ma, 环外的钠云母年龄223 ± 4 Ma。榴闪岩基质激光阶段加热40Ar–39Ar分析, 获得高温阶段坪年龄为230 Ma。多硅白云母年龄可能指示朱家冲榴辉岩超高压变质作用发生在265 Ma之前;基质年龄代表了退变质作用峰期发生于230 Ma;而217 Ma角闪石 “绿眼圈” 为榴闪岩退变质作用晚期产物。这些40Ar–39Ar年龄印证了岩石薄片观察的矿物结晶顺序。

西藏错那洞穹窿同构造矽卡岩特征及相关铍钨锡稀有金属矿化的成矿时代

错那洞穹窿位于北喜马拉雅片麻岩穹窿带（NHGD）的东段,是近年来新发现的穹窿构造。穹窿由内向外依次由核部、滑脱系和盖层三部分组成,错那洞铍钨锡稀有金属矿化主要赋存在穹窿滑脱系的矽卡岩和矽卡岩化大理岩中,矿体产在含石榴子石十字石云母片岩中,与强烈变形的淡色花岗岩或伟晶岩密切相关,部分矽卡岩矿物呈定向排列,具强烈的剪切特征;淡色花岗岩与矽卡岩的接触关系部分呈渐变接触,部分呈突变关系,表明矽卡岩与该期岩浆关系密切,矽卡岩与淡色花岗岩属于同构造的产物。本次研究获得错那洞穹窿滑脱系含石榴子石十字石云母片岩中黑云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为（16.6±0.3）Ma,反等时线年龄为（16.7±0.3）Ma,该年龄代表第二期由南向北伸展构造变形时间,即藏南拆离系（STDS）在错那洞穹窿的活动时间;含白云母的矽卡岩化大理岩中白云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为（16.9±0.2）Ma,与含石榴子石十字石云母片岩中黑云母Ar-Ar年龄一致,代表同构造矽卡岩的形成时间,也是错那洞铍钨锡稀有金属矿床的成矿时间。错那洞铍钨锡稀有金属矿床形成于由藏南拆离系强烈活动引起的伸展减薄构造背景,减压熔融形成的岩浆沿着构造通道上涌侵位,并与围岩交代反应形成同构造矽卡岩及其中的富铍钨锡矽卡岩型矿体。

The Dabieshan Coesite-bearing Eclogite Terrain-A Late Archaean Ultra - high- Pressure Metamorphic Belt

A U -Pb zircon age of 2774±24 Ma for eclogite from the Bixiling rock body of Anhui Province, central China, indicates that the Dabieshan coesite-bearing eclogite was probably formed in the Late Archaean. A phengite Ar-Ar isochron age of 662±13 Ma for the eclogite confines also an upper limit age of its subsequent retrograde metamorphism in the Precambrian. The results of isotopic dating for such type of eclogite coincide with the geological features of its restricted occurrence within the Archaean metamaorphic terrain composed of the Dabie Group. It is believed that the Dabieshan coesite-bearing eclogite terrain might be a Late Archaean ultra-high-pressure metamorphic belt. The Dabie Mountains area was the eastward extension of the southern Qinling structural belt during the Triassic. Both the Dabie Group and the coesite-bearing eclogite hosted therein underwent a late-stage dynamic metamorphic event. The present authors have obtained a muscovite Ar-Ar isochron age of 192.6±2.8 Ma from plagioclase gn     

Geochemical characteristics,cooling history and mineralization significance of Zhangtiantang pluton in South Jiangxi Province,P.R. China

The zircon SHRIMP dating of the Zhangtiantang granite gave an age of 159±7 Ma., which shows that the granite was produced at the early Late Jurassic. The Ar-Ar plateau ages of biotite and K-feldspar from the Zhangtiantang pluton are 153.2±1.1 Ma and 135.8±1.2 Ma, respectively. The Ar-Ar anti-isochrone ages of biotite and K-feldspar are 152.5±1.7Ma and 135.4±2.7Ma, respectively. The ages represent the isotopic closure ages of minerals in the pluton. The Zhangtiantang granites are regarded as peraluminous crust-derived type granites to possess the typical geochemical characteristics of calc-alkaline rocks on continental margin, with enriched Si, K, Al (average value of A/CNK as 1.18), HREE, Rb, U, and Th, heavily depleted V, Cr, Co, Ni, Ti, Nb-Ta, Zr, Sr, P, and Ba, strongly negative Eu and common corundum normative (average value of C as 1.84). The εNd_(t) values of the Zhangtiantang granite are −5.84 to −7.79, and t _2DM values are 1.69 to 1.83 Ga, which indicates partial melting of continental-crust metamorphic sedimentary rocks during the Middle Proterozoic. The cooling history of the Zhangtiantang granitic pluton indicates that the cooling velocity of pluton was faster (about 67°C/Ma) from zircon (158 Ma) to biotite (152 Ma), and was slower (about12°C/Ma) from biotite (152.5 Ma) to K-feldspar (135.8 Ma). It can be deduced that the temporal gap (about 10 Ma) between the granite formmation and W-Sn mineralization in South China may be related to ordinary magma-hydrothermal processes by the variational cooling curve of the pluton. The Zhangtiantang pluton was formed in a compressive setting, with differentiation evolution and mineralization occurring in a relative relaxation setting.     

A new understanding of Demala Group complex in Chayu Area,southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: Evidence from zircon U-Pb and mica 40Ar/39Ar dating

The Chayu area is located at the southeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This region was considered to be in the southeastward extension of the Lhasa Block, bounded by Nujiang suture zone in the north and Yarlung Zangbo suture zone in the south. The Demala Group complex, a set of high-grade metamorphic gneisses widely distributed in the Chayu area, is known as the Precambrian metamorphic basement of the Lhasa Block in the area. According to field-based investigations and microstructure analysis, the Demala Group complex is considered to mainly consist of banded biotite plagiogneisses, biotite quartzofeldspathic gneiss, granitic gneiss, amphibolite, mica schist, and quartz schist, with many leucogranite veins. The zircon U-Pb ages of two granitic gneiss samples are 205 ± 1 Ma and 218 ± 1 Ma, respectively, representing the ages of their protoliths. The zircons from two biotite plagiogneisses samples show core-rim structures. The U-Pb ages of the cores are mainly 644 –446 Ma, 1213 –865 Ma, and 1780 –1400 Ma, reflecting the age characteristics of clastic zircons during sedimentation of the original rocks. The U-Pb ages of the rims are from 203 ± 2 Ma to 190 ± 1 Ma, which represent the age of metamorphism. The zircon U-Pb ages of one sample taken from the leucogranite veins that cut through granitic gneiss foliation range from 24 Ma to 22 Ma, interpreted as the age of the anatexis in the Demala Group complex. Biotite and muscovite separates were selected from the granitic gneiss, banded gneiss, and leucogranite veins for ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating. The plateau ages of three muscovite samples are 16.56 ± 0.21 Ma, 16.90 ± 0.21 Ma, and 23.40 ± 0.31 Ma, and the plateau ages of four biotite samples are 16.70 ± 0.24 Ma, 16.14 ± 0.19 Ma, 15.88 ± 0.20 Ma, and 14.39 ± 0.20 Ma. The mica Ar-Ar ages can reveal the exhumation and cooling history of the Demala Group complex. Combined with the previous research results of the Demala Group complex, the authors refer that the Demala Group complex should be a set of metamorphic complex. The complex includes not only Precambrian basement metamorphic rock series, but also Paleozoic sedimentary rock and Mesozoic granitic rock. Based on the deformation characteristics, the authors concluded that two stages of the metamorphism and deformation can be revealed in the Demala Group complex since the Mesozoic, namely Late Triassic-Early Jurassic (203 –190 Ma) and Oligocene –Miocene (24 –14 Ma). The early stage of metamorphism (ranging from 203 –190 Ma) was related to the Late Triassic tectono-magmatism in the area. The anatexis and uplifting-exhumation of the later stage (24 –14 Ma) were related to the shearing of the Jiali strike-slip fault zone. The Miocene structures are response to the large-scale southeastward escape of crustal materials and block rotation in Southeast Tibet after India-Eurasia collision.©2021 China Geology Editorial Office.     

吉林省和龙地区鸡南BIF型铁矿床含矿建造地球化学特征及形成时代

鸡南铁矿床位于吉林省和龙地区,地处华北克拉通北缘与兴蒙造山带接壤的龙岗地块北部,是东北地区发现较早的BIF型铁矿床之一。该矿床铁矿体主要呈层状、似层状、扁豆状赋存于鞍山群鸡南组上段中部层位,含矿岩石以黑云斜长片麻岩、角闪黑云斜长片麻岩、黑云角闪斜长片麻岩及斜长角闪岩为主,为角闪岩相的中低级区域变质岩系;主要矿石类型为条带状磁铁石英岩型和块状磁铁角闪岩型。为确定该矿床含矿建造的原岩、变质时代及构造背景,重点对含矿岩系中的斜长角闪岩进行了岩石地球化学和锆石U-Pb年代学研究。结果表明：斜长角闪岩的地球化学特征表现为富集大离子亲石元素、轻微富集重稀土元素;主量元素质量分数与中性-基性岩类基本相似,结合原岩恢复图解,判断其原岩类型为亚碱性玄武岩（拉斑玄武岩）,形成于弧后盆地背景;LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究中,2个较老的锆石测点年龄分别为（2 468±15）和（2 469±9）Ma,代表区内峰期变质年龄（约2 460 Ma）,26个锆石测点的测年数据较为集中,加权平均年龄为（2 275±25）Ma,代表区内退变质年龄。通过与国内外典型BIF型铁矿床的对比研究认为,区内的鸡南铁矿与官地铁矿同属Algoma型铁矿床。     

Petrology,geochemistry and Ar-Ar geochronology of eclogites in Jinshajiang orogenic belt,Gonjo area,eastern Tibet and restriction on Paleo-Tethyan evolution

As one of the important Paleo-Tethys suture zones in eastern Tibet, the Jinshajiang orogenic belt is of great significance to study the tectonic evolution of the main suture zone of Paleo-Tethys. In this paper, eclogites developed in the Jinshajiang suture zone in Gonjo area, eastern Tibet, are selected as specific research objects, and petrological, geochemical and Ar-Ar geochronological analyses are carried out. The major element data of the whole rock reveals that the eclogite samples have the characteristics of picritic basalt-basalt and belong to the oceanic low potassium tholeiites. The results of rare earth elements and trace elements of the samples show that the protoliths of eclogites have characteristics similar to oceanic island basalt (OIB) or normal mid ocean ridge basalt (N-MORB). Muscovite (phengite) from two eclogite samples yield the Ar-Ar plateau ages of 247±2 Ma and 248±2 Ma respectively, representing the peak metamorphic age of eclogite facies and the timing of complete closure of the Jinshajiang Paleo-Tethys Ocean. Muscovite and biotite selected from the hosting rocks of eclogite yield the Ar-Ar plateau ages are 238±2 Ma and 225±2 Ma respectively, reflecting the exhumation age of eclogites and their hosting rocks. Combined with the zircon U-Pb dating data (244 Ma) of eclogites obtained in previous work, it can be concluded that the Jinshajiang Paleo-Tethys ocean was completely closed and arc-continent collision was initiated at about 248–244 Ma (T₂¹). Subsequently, due to the large-scale arc (continent)-collision orogeney between Deqin-Weixi continental margin arc and Zhongza block (T₃¹–T₃²), the eclogites were rapidly uplifted to the shallow crust.©2023 China Geology Editorial Office.     

柴北缘欧龙布鲁克地块东段古元古代基性麻粒岩:岩石学、锆石U-Pb年代学和Lu-Hf同位素证据

在欧龙布鲁克地块东部地区的正片麻岩中识别出呈透镜状产出的基性麻粒岩,部分已转变为斜长角闪岩。其主要矿物组合为单斜辉石、斜方辉石、斜长石、角闪石等,为典型中低压麻粒岩相组合。锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年得到基性麻粒岩1928±9Ma的变质年龄,片麻岩围岩得到了1927±20Ma的变质年龄,以及2368±5Ma、2377±7Ma的岩浆结晶年龄。片麻岩锆石Hf同位素数据显示变质锆石及岩浆锆石均具有相似的Hf同位素成分,其二阶段模式年龄为2590~2830Ma,显示其可能源于太古代地壳物质的再造。欧龙布鲁克地块古元古代岩浆及变质演化历史与塔里木克拉通及华北克拉通很高的相似性,预示着在古元古代三者可能具有一定的亲缘性。
