新疆甜水海地块种羊场石炭纪火山岩年代学和地球化学:岩石成因和地质意义

甜水海地块西段的种羊场地区发育一套互层状产出的玄武岩-玄武安山岩-流纹岩,本文对其进行了岩石学、同位素年代学和地球化学研究。结果表明,流纹岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年获得三组年龄:343.5±4.1Ma表明火山岩的形成时代为早石炭纪,2439±26Ma和1988±36Ma说明甜水海地块存在前寒武纪结晶基底。其中玄武质岩石岩性从拉斑系列、钙碱性系列向碱性系列过渡,呈现出E-MORB(OIB)、大陆板内拉张和岛弧的混合特征,与典型弧后盆地Okinawa玄武岩有一定的差异,表明其可能是异常陆缘弧后盆地拉张裂解的产物。玄武质岩石和流纹岩的主量元素、稀土元素和微量元素比值对的差异表明它们不是同源岩浆演化的产物,玄武质岩石的源区为类似E-MORB(OIB)的岩石圈地幔,且发生了部分熔融,原始岩浆上升过程中经历了矿物分离结晶和地壳混染作用。流纹岩属于高硅高碱的钙碱性火山岩,是上地壳部分熔融的产物。种羊场早石炭纪火山岩可能代表了古特提洋西端早期扩张的记录,为西昆仑-喀喇昆仑地区晚古生代多岛洋格局提供了新的证据。

Volcanoplutonic association of the early-stage evolution of the Imandra-Varzuga rift zone,Kola Peninsula,Russia: Geological,petrogeochemical, and isotope-geochronological data

The western flank of the Paleoproterozoic Imandra-Varzuga rift zone consists of three volcanogenic-sedimentary series and layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions of different age (2.50–2.45 Ga). The earliest Monchegorsk and Monche Tundra layered massifs were formed about 2.50 Ga during the prerift stage of the evolution of the Imandra-Varzuga zone. The early rift stage (～2.45 Ga) produced layered intrusions of the Imandra complex and volcanic rocks of the Strelna Group, consisting of the Kuksha and Seidorechka formations. In terms of chemical composition, the volcanic rocks of the Seidorechka Formation belong to a single basalt-rhyolite series, mostly of normal alkalinity and both tholeiitic and calc-alkaline affinity. The rocks of the Imandra Complex are characterized by moderate LREE enrichment, relatively flat HREE patterns, and a positive Eu anomaly. Similar REE distribution patterns were observed in the volcanic rocks of the Seidorechka Formation, which show a gradual increase in REE content with increasing SiO₂. The upper part of the Seidorechka Formation in the southern Khibiny region is composed of metarhyodacites. They terminate the sequence of the Strelna Group and have a U-Pb zircon age of 2448 ± 8 Ma. This age presumably reflects the upper age boundary of the rocks of the Seidorechka Formation and the end of the early stage of the evolution of the Imandra-Varzuga zone. Xenogenic zircon from the same sample yielded a U-Pb zircon age of 2715 ± 42 Ma. A U-Pb age of 2202 ± 17 Ma was obtained for titanite and rutile and interpreted as the metamorphic age of the Seidorechka Formation. The metavolcanic rocks of the Seidorechka Formation have negative ?_Nd (T) varying from ?2.84 to ?2.32, and I_Sr values of 0.7041–0.7038, which are higher than those of the depleted mantle and suggest their derivation from an enriched mantle reservoir (EM1). The spatial association of the volcanic rocks of the Seidorechka Formation and the rocks of the Imandra Complex, similarity in the behavior of most major elements, similar REE distribution patterns, and close formation ages and isotope signatures give grounds to combine them in a single volcanoplutonic association.

Evidence for Palaeozoic magmatism recorded in the Late Neoproterozoic Marlborough ophiolite,New England Fold Belt,central Queensland

The ultramafic‐mafic complex in the Marlborough terrane of the northern New England Fold Belt is dominated by members of a Neoproterozoic (ca 560 Ma) ophiolite (V1). The ophiolite has been intruded by the products of three Palaeozoic tectonomagmatic episodes (V2, V3 and V4). The V2 magmatic episode is represented by tholeiitic and calc‐alkaline basalts and gabbros of island‐arc affinities. Sm/Nd isotopes give a whole‐rock isochron age of 380 ± 19 Ma (2σ) to this episode, some 180 million years younger than the V1 ophiolitic rocks. The V3 magmatic episode includes tholeiitic and alkali basalts with enriched geochemical signatures characteristic of intraplate volcanism. A whole‐rock Sm/Nd isochron age of 293 ± 35 Ma is obtained for this event. A fourth magmatic event (V4) is represented by basaltic andesites and siliceous intrusives with geochemical features similar to modern adakites. This event has its type locality in the Percy Isles. These data provide tectonic and geochronological constraints for the previously enigmatic Marlborough terrane and as such contribute to the ever‐evolving understanding of New England Fold Belt development.     

西天山查岗诺尔和智博铁矿区火山岩地球化学特征、锆石U-Pb年龄及地质意义

西天山东段的查岗诺尔铁矿和智博铁矿赋存于以玄武岩、玄武安山岩、粗面岩以及安山质凝灰岩为主的晚石炭世火山岩中, 对火山岩的形成时代以及构造地质背景的研究是重建成矿过程的关键。本文通过对两个矿区的火山岩进行岩石地球化学和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年分析来探讨火山岩形成的构造环境与时代。地球化学分析表明大多数火山岩化学成分从钙碱性、高钾钙碱性变化到钾玄岩系列,富集轻稀土元素(LREE)和大离子亲石元素(LILE; 如Rb、Th、K),重稀土元素(HREE)配分平坦,同时具有Nb、Ta、Ti的强烈亏损,类似于岛弧火山岩的地球化学特征。大多数玄武质火山岩在构造环境判别图中位于火山弧环境。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年显示流纹岩和英安岩的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄分别为301.8±0.9Ma和300.3±1.1Ma。此外,对两件闪长岩样品测年获得²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄介于303.8～305Ma之间。火山岩与闪长岩样品具有类似的地球化学特征以及形成时代,表明它们可能来源于同一母岩浆,形成于相同的构造背景下。结合区域地质资料,本文认为矿区内出露的高钾钙碱性到钾玄岩系列火山岩可能属于俯冲过程末期阶段大陆岛弧岩浆作用的产物。     

西藏冈底斯带那曲地区中生代火山岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和地质意义

大规模的早白垩世火山岩呈孤岛状广泛展布于冈底斯北部地区。1: 25万区域地质调查在那曲地区圈定出晚白垩世、中-晚侏罗世火山岩。在充分研究前人资料的基础上, 对出露状况较好的那曲县城晚白垩世火山岩、哈尔麦中-晚侏罗世火山岩进行了野外调研, 它们均为安山质火山岩系, 均与一套黑色砂板岩呈角度不整合接触, 同时对其进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年, 便于进行区域对比。那曲地区的中生代火山岩多数锆石具有生长环带, 部分锆石显示核边结构。采自那曲东县城、哈尔麦的2件安山岩样品的年龄分别为116.3±1.4 Ma、111.37±0.73 Ma, 它们的形成时代基本一致, 应该为同一地质事件的产物。区域对比表明, 早白垩世火山作用是北冈底斯带最为强烈的一次火山活动, 其活动时间大致在110 Ma左右, 之后是早白垩世岛弧型深成中酸性侵入活动。冈底斯北带早白垩世火山作用究竟与狮泉河-嘉黎大洋俯冲有关, 还是与班公湖-怒江洋壳俯冲有关, 目前尚难定论。     

新疆中天山南缘库米什地区蛇绿岩的锆石U-Pb同位素定年:早古生代洋盆的证据

新疆中天山南缘库米什地区的榆树沟和铜花山蛇绿混杂岩包括地幔橄榄岩,辉石岩、辉长岩、斜长岩等堆晶岩,辉绿岩墙和基性熔岩,以及上部的硅质岩等。岩石地球化学研究表明,蛇绿岩的岩石类型来自MORB型和SSZ型两种构造背景。蛇绿岩及有关岩石的锆石U-Pb同位素年代学的研究表明,与中天山南缘洋盆扩张和闭合有关的事件至少可以分为4期: (1)奥陶纪-志留纪的洋盆形成事件,证据来自蛇绿岩斜长花岗岩和斜长岩,两者的年龄分别为435.1±2.8Ma、439.3±1.8Ma;(2)志留纪的岛弧岩浆作用,获得岛弧火山岩英安岩年龄422.1±2.6Ma 和花岗闪长岩年龄423.1±1.8Ma;(3)泥盆纪的剪切变形和糜棱岩化变质作用,由于板块斜向俯冲和碰撞作用,产生大规模的走滑作用和与之伴生的由剪切作用形成的糜棱岩,糜棱岩的形成年龄为402.8±1Ma,为早泥盆世;(4)俯冲碰撞后的造山带伸展阶段的岩浆作用,在俯冲碰撞作用之后发生与垂直主受力面张裂作用伴生岩浆作用,获得石英正长斑岩294.8±1.2Ma年龄,即晚石炭世。 此外,认为榆树沟蛇绿岩北部出露的麻粒岩是一个很特殊的构造岩块,岩石的锆石中普遍存在500~1800Ma的老核,表明其原岩很复杂,不属于蛇绿岩的组合 。     

Geology, Geochronology, and Geodynamics of the Khan Bogd alkali granite pluton in southern Mongolia

The Khan Bogd alkali granite pluton, one of the world’s largest, is situated in the southern Gobi Desert, being localized in the core of the Late Paleozoic Syncline, where island-arc calc-alkaline differentiated volcanics (of variable alkalinity) give way to the rift-related bimodal basalt-comendite-alkali granite association. The tectonic setting of the Khan Bogd pluton is controlled by intersection of the near-latitudinal Gobi-Tien Shan Rift Zone with an oblique transverse fault, which, as the rift zone, controls bimodal magmatism. The pluton consists of the eastern and the western ring bodies and comes into sharp intrusive contact with rocks of the island-arc complex and tectonic contact with rocks of the bimodal complex. The inner ring structure is particularly typical of the western body and accentuated by ring dikes and roof pendants of the country island-arc complex. According to preliminary gravity measurements, the pluton is a flattened intrusive body (laccolith) with its base subsiding in stepwise manner northwestward. Reliable geochronologic data have been obtained for both plutonic and country rocks: the U-Pb zircon age of alkali granite belonging to the main intrusive phase is 290 ± 1 Ma, the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of amphibole and polylithionite are 283 ± 4 and 285 ± 7 Ma, and the Rb-Sr isochron yields 287 ± 3 Ma; i.e., all these estimates are close to 290 Ma. Furthermore, the U-Pb zircon age of red normal biotite granite (290 ± 1 Ma) and the Rb-Sr age of the bimodal complex in the southern framework of the pluton are the same. The older igneous rocks of the island-arc complex in the framework and roof pendants of the pluton are dated at 330 Ma. The geodynamic model of the Khan Bogd pluton formation suggests collision of the Hercynian continent with a hot spot in the paleoocean; two variants of this model are proposed. According to the first variant, the mantle plume, after collision with the margin of the North Asian paleocontinent, reworked the subducted lithosphere and formed a structure similar to an asthenospheric window, which served as a source of rift-related magmatism and the Khan Bogd pluton proper. In compliance with the second variant, the emergence of hot mantle plume resulted in flattening of the subducted plate; cessation of the island-arc magmatism; and probably in origin of a local convective system in the asthenosphere of the mantle wedge, which gave rise to the formation of a magma source. The huge body of the Khan Bogd alkali granite pluton and related volcanic rocks, as well as its ring structure, resulted from the caldera mechanism of the emplacement and evolution of magmatic melts.     

Early Proterozoic central-type volcano in the Pechenga structure and its relation to the ore-bearing gabbro-wehrlite complex of the Kola Peninsula

The Zapolyarnyi volcanic center is confined to the boundary between the oldest volcanic formations (I and II) of the Pechenga complex. Its structure and rock association are significantly different from those of numerous eruptive centers of areal basaltic volcanism in the Pechenga structure. It is an oval-shaped body, 700 × 300 m in size, composed of volcanic eruptive lava breccia. The clastic material of the breccia includes angular and partially molten fragments of granites, pegmatoid granites, epidosites, quartz, and feldspars embedded in basaltic lava. The basalts are titanium-rich and iron-rich varieties enriched in large-ion lithophile elements (Rb, Ba, and Sr); they are similar in composition, including Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotopic characteristics, to the ferropicrites of the youngest volcanic formation (IV) and their differentiation products. The basalts of the volcanic center show ε_Nd(T) values from ?3.13 to ?1.17. In general, these rocks definitely represent the vent facies of an Early Proterozoic central-type volcano. The age of the basalt of the volcanic center is 1918 ± 3 Ma (U-Pb method on zircon) and is similar to the previously determined age of volcanics of volcanic formation IV (1990 ± 40 Ma, Sm-Nd method). The rocks of this formation participated 2000–1900 Ma ago in the formation of the volcanoplutonic ore-bearing ferropicrite-gabbro-wehrlite association of the Pechenga structure. The age of the ore-bearing Pilguyarvi gabbro-wehrlite intrusion was constrained between 1987 ± 5 Ma (U-Pb method on zircon) and 1980 ± 10 Ma (U-Pb method on baddeleyite). In addition, the first data were obtained for the age of comagmatic olivine norites of the Nyasyucka dike complex in the northeastern flank of the Pechenga structure (1941 ± 3 Ma, U-Pb method on baddeleyite) and the peridotites of the Allarechka ore field in the southern framing of the Pechenga structure (1918 ± 29 Ma, U-Pb method on zircon), which were previously considered Archean. Taking into account the geological and geochemical characteristics of the rocks of the Zapolyarnyi paleovolcano and the identical age of the Ludikovian intrusions, it can be concluded that the basalts of the paleovolcano were formed during late stages of the evolution of Early Proterozoic basic-ultrabasic magmatism, which was characterized by extensive explosive activity and strong magmatic differentiation responsible for the generation of the ore-bearing intrusions of the ferropicrite-gabbro-wehrlite association.     

Isotopic-geochemical characteristics of the ore-bearing ultramafic-mafic intrusions of western Taimyr,Russia

The composition and isotopic-geochemical peculiarities of zircons from the ore-bearing ultramafic-mafic intrusions of western Taimyr that are promising for finding Pt-Cu-Ni mineralization were characterized for the first time. The similar U-Pb age of zircons from the Binyuda and Dyumaltei intrusions (248.3 ± 13 and 244.4 ± 2.4 Ma, respectively) indicates that the intrusions were formed almost synchronously with tholeiitic basalts of the Siberian Platform. The age and Nd-Sr data of intrusions of western Taimyr are distinct from those of economic ore-bearing intrusions of the Noril’sk province characterized by long-term magmatic evolution of the rocks and different material sources.     

塔里木西北缘阿克苏地区大陆拉斑玄武岩对新元古代裂解事件的制约

塔里木西北缘新元古界苏盖特布拉克组不整合覆盖在前寒武纪阿克苏群蓝片岩及侵入其中的基性岩墙之上,苏盖特布拉克组底部发育两层玄武岩夹层,其形成时代和成因背景对认识塔里木板块前寒武纪构造演化及有关的超大陆循环和地球动力学过程具有重要意义。本文对这两层玄武岩进行了全岩地球化学和锆石U-Pb年代学研究。结果显示,玄武岩均属于大陆拉斑玄武岩系列,微量元素地球化学特性与典型的大陆溢流玄武岩非常相似,其岩浆来源于富集地幔,并遭受了一定程度的地壳混染作用。玄武岩中锆石的LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄分布在1945~755Ma,这些锆石均属于玄武岩浆上升过程中从地壳岩石捕获的继承锆石,记录了塔里木北缘元古代期间多期变质和岩浆事件。这一年龄范围表明,玄武岩形成的时代应晚于755Ma。本文的研究结果表明,阿克苏大陆拉斑玄武岩形成于板内裂谷环境,可能与新元古代Rodinia超大陆之下的地幔柱活动有关,是塔里木板块从Rodinia超大陆裂解出来的直接证据。     

Oligocene–Miocene geodynamic evolution of the central part of Urumieh-Dokhtar Arc of Iran

Basic volcanic rocks from Tafresh, west Kashan, and west Nain volcanic successions in the central part of Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage (UDMA) of Iran yield K–Ar ages ranging from 26.8 to 18.2 Ma. These ages indicate significant Late Oligocene–Early Miocene basic volcanism in the UDMA. These ages, combined with K–Ar ages of 26.0 and 14.1 Ma, respectively, for associated low-silica and high-silica adakites, help constrain reconstructions of the UDMA geodynamic evolution. Late Oligocene–Early Miocene slab roll-back associated with an asthenospheric mantle influx are suggested as the major processes responsible for concurrent volcanism showing Nb–Ta-depleted, Nb–Ta-enriched and low-silica adakite signatures. Slab roll-back, the likely consequence of a decrease in subduction velocity, led to partial melting of the subducted slab and produced Early–Middle Miocene high-silica (dacitic) adakites. Oligocene to Miocene volcanic rocks do not conform to the Oligocene continental collisional model for the UDMA, rather they suggest a decrease in the subduction rate that prompted the asthenospheric mantle influx.     

The Composition and Age of the Mesoarchean Gabbro in the South Vygozersky and Kamennoozersky Greenstone Structures,Karelia

The geochemical and zircon geochronological (U-Pb, SHRIMP-II) study of Mesoarchean gabbros of the South Vygozersky and Kamennoozersky greenstone structures of Central Karelia made it possible to distinguish four gabbro types: (1) Fe–Ti gabbro, 2869 ± 12 Ma, (2) gabbro compositionally close to tholeiitic basalts, 2857 ± 7 Ma, (3) leucogbabbro, 2840 ± 5 Ma; and (4) melanogabbro, 2818 ± 14 Ma. From the early to late gabbros, the rocks are depleted in Ti, Fe, V, Y, Zr, Nb, Hf, REE and enriched in Mg, Ca, Cr, Ni. According to the systematics (Condie, 2005), the Nb/Y, Zr/Y, Zr/Nb ratios in the studied Late Archean gabbros are close to those of primitive mantle, while the gabbros in composition are similar to those of plumederived ocean-plateau basalts. Their magma sources were derived from different mantle reservoirs. The leucogabbro and melanogabbro with similar εNd = +4 were derived from a depleted mantle source (DM). The gabbro close in composition to tholeiitic basalts and having the elevated positive ε_Nd (+4.9) was derived from a strongly depleted mantle source. Insignificant admixture of crustal material or lithospheric mantle is inferred in a source of the Fe–Ti gabbro (with lowest ε_Nd = +2.1).     

Neoproterozoic Volcanic Rocks in the Southern Quruqtagh of Northwest China:Geochemistry,Zircon Geochronology and Tectonic Implications

The Early Neoproterozoic Beiyixi Formation volcanic rocks of the southern Quruqtagh comprise mainly of a suite of tholeiitic basalts,alkaline andesites,and calc-alkaline rhyolites.The rhyolites are characterized by variably fractionated enrichment in light rare earth elements（LREE） and flat in heavy rare earth elements（HREE）,and strongly negative Eu anomalies.Compared to the rhyolites,the andesites also exhibit enrichment in LREE and flat HREE（chondrite-normalized values of La/Yb,and La/Sm are 13.30-41.09,3.18-6.89 respectively）.Their rare earth element patterns display minor negative Eu anomalies.Both of them exhibit coherent patterns with strongly to moderately negative anomalies of Nb,Zr,Ti,and Hf on spider diagrams.Two rhyolite and one andesite magmatic zircons with defined oscillatory zoning yielded weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of 743±7 Ma,741±2 Ma,and 727±4 Ma.These ages are interpreted to represent the timing of volcanic eruptions. According to geochemistry and rock type,these volcanic rocks formed within a continental island-arc environment following subduction of the oceanic crust during the Early Neoproterozoic period.     

青藏高原拉萨地块西部雄巴盆地后碰撞钾质-超钾质火山岩年代学与地球化学

青藏高原拉萨地块后碰撞钾质和超钾质岩浆活动广泛分布且已有不少研究成果,但是它们的年龄主要是17~8Ma,而对于拉萨地块西部雄巴地区时代为24~23Ma的岩浆作用则研究较少。本文对雄巴盆地新识别出的三种类型火山岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年和岩石地球化学研究表明,它们分别是超钾质安粗岩(23.9±0.6Ma)、粗面英安岩(23.3±0.4Ma)和钾质流纹岩(24.1±0.3Ma),这三种岩石近于同时产出。三类岩石的源区明显不同,其中钾质流纹岩是中、上地壳部分熔融产物;具有埃达克质特征的钾质粗面英安岩可能为加厚下地壳部分熔融;而超钾质安粗岩可能富集地幔部分熔融的产物。雄巴三种火山岩均含数量不等的继承锆石,钾质流纹岩具有~150Ma、~90Ma和~50Ma的继承锆石年龄群;钾质粗面英安岩突出显示了~90Ma左右岩浆活动记录和两个新元古代继承锆石年龄;幔源超钾质安粗岩的继承锆石则绝大多数继承锆石为晚白垩纪以来的岩浆活动记录,突出显示110~80Ma和62~30Ma两个峰值。     

Petrogenesis and age of the felsic volcanic rocks from the North Baikal volcanoplutonic belt,Siberian craton

Detailed geochemical, isotopic, and geochronological studies were carried out on felsic volcanic rocks from the southern part of the North Baikal volcanoplutonic belt. U-Pb zircon dating showed that the rocks previously ascribed to a single stratigraphic unit (Khibelen Formation of the Akitkan Group or the Khibelen Complex) have significant age differences. The Khibelen Formation was found out to include both the oldest dated rocks (1877.7 ± 3.8 Ma) of the North Baikal belt and the younger volcanic rocks (1849 ± 11 Ma). Two other dated volcanic rocks have intermediate ages (1875 ± 14 and 1870.7 ± 4.2 Ma). It was established that the volcanic rocks from various areas in the southern part of the North Baikal belt not only have different ages but also differ in geochemical and isotopic signatures. In particular, the felsic volcanic rocks from various sites show the following variations in trace-element composition: from 220–280 to 650–717 ppm Zr, from 8–12 to 54–64 ppm Nb, and from 924–986 to 1576–2398 Ba. The ?_Nd obtained for felsic volcanic rocks and comagmatic granitoids from various areas in the southern part of the North Baikal belt vary, respectively, from ?1.7 to ?2.8 and from ?8.0 to ?9.2. Based on geochemical and isotopic signatures, the felsic volcanic rocks in various areas of the southern part of the North Baikal volcanoplutonic belt were formed via the melting of a Mesoarchean crustal source of tonalite composition with contribution of variable amounts of juvenile mantle material at different magma generation conditions. Isotopic data indicate that the contribution of juvenile mantle material to their sources varied from ～33–40 to 77–86%. The maximal calculated temperatures of the parent melts for felsic volcanic rocks were 908–951°C, and the lowest temperatures were 800–833°C. The geochemical signatures of dacites with an age of 1877.7 ± 3.8 Ma such as high Th (46–51 ppm) and La (148–178 ppm) contents indicate that these rocks, along with Mesoarchean granitoid and juvenile mantle material, contain an upper crustal component with high Th and LREE contents. Extremely low Y and Yb contents in these dacites implies their formation at pressures of ～ 12–15 kbar in equilibrium with garnet-bearing residue. These rocks were presumably formed in the collisional-thickened crust at the earliest stages of its collapse, possibly during syncollisional collapse, with additional hear input to the lower crust. Other felsic rocks are geochemical analogues of A-type granites and were formed during the subsequent stages of collapse (post-collisional collapse).     

三江南段景洪大勐龙地区基性高压变质岩岩石地球化学特征及其大地构造意义

本文以三江南段景洪大勐龙地区新发现的退变榴辉岩和蓝片岩为研究对象,对其进行了系统的地球化学、原岩性质及锆石U-Pb定年的综合研究。大勐龙地区退变榴辉岩呈透镜状产于白云钠长石英片岩、白云母片岩和斜长角闪(片)岩中,其原岩为亚碱性拉斑玄武岩,球粒陨石标准化稀土元素配分曲线呈轻稀土弱亏损、重稀土平坦型的分布特征,不具有Nb、Ta、Ti的亏损,与典型的N-MORB(正常型洋中脊玄武岩)地球化学特征一致,表明其原岩可能来源于亏损的地幔区,形成于洋中脊环境;变质锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为230.3±1.7Ma,可能代表榴辉岩峰期的变质时代。蓝片岩的原岩为亚碱性拉斑玄武岩,具有较高Ti玄武岩的特征(TiO₂含量2.55%~2.88%,均大于2%),稀土元素总量变化范围小,比典型的N-MORB稀土总量偏高,轻稀土元素(LREE)亏损,无明显负Eu异常,地球化学性质与N-MORB类似。结合以往区域研究成果,进一步确定研究区退变榴辉岩和蓝片岩的原岩属于典型N-MORB型,该项研究不仅在昌宁-孟连缝合带的南段发现典型的特提斯洋壳残片,而且为进一步深入探讨滇西地区特提斯洋消减-闭合的动力学背景及其复杂的构造演化过程提供了重要的科学依据。     

Caribbean island-arc rifting and back-arc basin development in the Late Cretaceous: Geochemical, isotopic and geochronological evidence from Central Hispaniola

We present new regional petrologic, geochemical, Sr–Nd isotopic, and U–Pb geochronological data on the Turonian–Campanian mafic igneous rocks of Central Hispaniola that provide important clues on the development of the Caribbean island-arc. Central Hispaniola is made up of three main tectonic blocks—Jicomé, Jarabacoa and Bonao—that include four broad geochemical groups of Late Cretaceous mafic igneous rocks: group I, tholeiitic to calc-alkaline basalts and andesites; group II, low-Ti high-Mg andesites and basalts; group III, tholeiitic basalts and gabbros/dolerites; and group IV, tholeiitic to transitional and alkalic basalts. These igneous rocks show significant differences in time and space, from arc-like to non-arc-like characteristics, suggesting that they were derived from different mantle sources. We interpret these groups as the record of Caribbean arc-rifting and back-arc basin development in the Late Cretaceous. The> 90 Ma group I volcanic rocks and associated cumulate complexes preserved in the Jicomé and Jarabacoa blocks represent the Albian to Cenomanian Caribbean island-arc material. The arc rift stage magmatism in these blocks took place during the deposition of the Restauración Formation from the Turonian–Coniacian transition (~ 90 Ma) to Santonian/Lower Campanian, particularly in its lower part with extrusion at 90–88 Ma of group II low-Ti, high-Mg andesites/basalts. During this time or slightly afterwards adakitic rhyolites erupted in the Jarabacoa block. Group III tholeiitic lavas represent the initiation of Coniacian–Lower Campanian back-arc spreading. In the Bonao block, this stage is represented by back-arc basin-like basalts, gabbros and dolerite/diorite dykes intruded into the Loma Caribe peridotite, as well as the Peralvillo Sur Formation basalts, capped by tuffs, shales and Campanian cherts. This dismembered ophiolitic stratigraphy indicates that the Bonao block is a fragment of an ensimatic back-arc basin. In the Jicomé and Jarabacoa blocks, the mainly Campanian group IV basalts of the Peña Blanca, Siete Cabezas and Pelona–Pico Duarte Formation, represent the subsequent stage of back-arc spreading and off-axis non-arc-like magmatism, caused by migration of the arc toward the northeast. These basalts have geochemical affinities with the mantle domain influenced by the Caribbean plume, suggesting that mantle was flowing toward the NE, beneath the extended Caribbean island-arc, in response to rollback of the subducting proto-Caribbean slab.     

Protoliths of the metamorphic rocks of the Fedorov Complex, Aldan shield: Character, age, and geodynamic environments of origin

Geochemical data indicate that the protoliths of the overwhelming majority of the metamorphic rocks composing the Fedorov Complex in the Aldan granulite megacomplex were volcanic rocks of three groups, which occur in different proportions in the complex: (i) volumetrically predominant (no less than 90%) continuous differentiated island-arc basalt-andesite-dacite-rhyolite series, (ii) within-plate basalts, whose composition was similar to that of low-Ti traps, and (iii) basalts of composition similar to that of continentalrift basalts. The U-Pb zircon crystallization age of the metamorphosed basaltic andesites of the Fedorov Complex was estimated at 2006 ± 3 Ma, which testifies, when considered together with preexisting geochronological data, that the complex was produced during a time span of no longer than 25 m.y. A model is proposed according to which the complex was produced within the geodynamic system of the active continental margin of the Olekma-Aldan continental microplate and the Fedorov island arc.
