中国大陆部分构造单元出露地壳与全球大陆上地壳化学成分的比较——对地壳演化的制约和思考

根据中国东部上地壳区域元素丰度研究和新疆北部地区1∶20万化探成果,总结了23个二级大地构造单元出露地壳的元素地球化学特征。与全球大陆上地壳元素丰度值的对比显示,中国大陆出露地壳成分演化程度介于岛弧与成熟的加拿大地盾之间。华北、扬子地台由于含大量碳酸盐岩地层,其出露地壳SiO2含量偏低,明显富集CaO和MgO,可见在出露地壳和上地壳元素丰度值研究中不应忽视碳酸盐岩的贡献。相对于最新发表的2种全球大陆上地壳平均成分模型,中国大陆出露地壳系统亏损Au、Hg、Mo、Sn和W,表明现有上地壳模型过高地估计了Au、Hg、Mo、Sn、W等元素丰度值。华北地台及其南缘的秦岭-大别山造山带出露地壳具低μ(238U/204Pb)值(<8)特征,但其他地区μ值较高,暗示华北地台及其周边地区出露地壳的低μ值特点不具备全球意义。鉴于中国大陆内部各构造单元之间出露地壳成分的显著横向差异,以华北地台为主体的上地壳成分模型目前尚无充分理由作为中国和全球大陆上地壳平均值的可靠代表。

内蒙古中南部出露地壳元素丰度值的估算

运用区域大规模采样方法,对内蒙古中南部地区所采样品进行元素丰度值加权计算,这是建立区域地壳模型的基础工作之一,同时也为化探异常的检出提供较为准确的背景值。研究区涉及内蒙古地轴和内蒙古中部造山系2个构造单元。采用加权求平均值的方法,得到内蒙古中南部出露地壳10种常量元素氧化物和40种微量元素的丰度值。经地表热流值、地震平均波速和元素比值方法检验后证明所得结果合理。计算所得内蒙古中南部出露地壳平均成分为花岗闪长质,与目前一般认为的结论相同。将结果与其他地区进行比较分析后可知,内蒙古中南部出露的地壳与全球上地壳的组成基本一致。由微量元素、稀土元素的图解和内蒙古中南部出露地壳的元素丰度与中国东部出露地壳元素丰度的对比可以看出,整体上,内蒙古中南部具有较强的壳内分异作用和地壳增生作用(地幔物质加入)。

中国东南部下地壳物质与花岗岩成因探索

在中国东南部中－新生代玄武质岩石中陆续找到了来自下地壳的辉长岩质麻粒岩／辉长岩深源捕掳体。本文着重研究了沿海地区广东麒麟新生代玄武质角砾岩筒中的辉长岩质麻粒岩捕掳体,并与内陆湖南道县早中生代玄武质角砾岩筒中的辉长岩、花岗片麻岩捕掳体作了比较。研究表明,辉长岩质麻粒岩是底侵作用形成的基性岩浆底垫于下地壳,并经变质作用的产物。底侵作用是重要的壳－幔作用过程,也是中国东南大陆边缘陆壳演化的重要过程。Ｓｍ－Ｎｄ同位素定年显示,中国东南大陆边缘底侵作用物质在地壳底部的结晶年龄约为１１２．３±１７．８Ｍａ,属晚中生代时期。此外,底侵作用在不同大地构造域的发育程度是不一致的,底侵作用发育强弱的标志是基性火山岩是否发育、壳幔型花岗岩是否广泛产出

中国大陆地壳和岩石圈化学成分模型可信吗? ——来自大地热流值的检验

大地热流值是大陆地壳和岩石圈U，Th,K丰度的直接约束；根据地球化学元素丰度值推算出的大地构造单元的区域地壳热流值，必定不能大于区域的平均热流值，根据700余个实测大地热流数据，对目前发表的中国大陆地壳和岩石圈的化学成分模型进行了检验，结果表明，多数模型不能满足大地热充约束，如黎彤等的关于中国大陆及其内部构造单元的地壳和岩石圈成分模型，倪守斌等提出的新疆北部地壳生热率模型，以及高山等提出的扬子地台北缘地壳成分模型，这些模型的U，Th,K丰度值不太可靠，其他强不相容元素的丰度值的可信程度亦值得怀疑，而迟清华，鄢明才提出的华北地台地壳成分模型和高山等建立的中国东部及华北地台和秦岭造山带的地壳成分模型通过了区域大地热流的检验。     

下地壳麻粒岩包体研究进展及其意义

产于火山岩中的下地壳麻粒岩包体是人们窥视深部地壳的一个窗口，现已成为人们探索大陆下地壳物质组成和演化最直接的研究对象。下地壳岩石包体一般具有麻粒岩相矿物组合，主体由镁铁质麻粒岩组成，以出现紫苏辉石矿物为标志下地壳包体的平衡温度为700－1040℃，平衡压力在0．8－1．4GPa之间。在绝大多数地区，基性下地壳包体占优势，其共同特征是低SiO2、高CaO和Mg^ ，过渡族元素和不相容元素含量变化很大，不机构造背景和不同岩石类型的包体同位素成分也有差异，全球各大陆下地壳包体Nd、Pb同位素组成分布具有“块体效应”特征。利用出露于地表的下地壳麻粒岩包体可以探讨下地壳物质组成和成分，建立下地壳物性剖面和岩石圈模型，并可作为幔源岩浆底侵作用的重要判据之一。世界范围内下地壳麻粒岩包体研究表明，在探讨下地壳的组成特点上，由火山岩中麻粒岩包体和出露的麻粒岩地体两类岩石样品所获得的下地壳组成特点存在比较大的差异，前者较后者反映的下地壳组成更偏基性。下地壳包体的类型与成因对揭示大陆地壳的增生、演化方式以及壳－幔交换作用具有重要的指示意义。

Comparison of element abundance between the exposed crust of the continent of China and the global averaged upper continental crust: Constraints on crustal evolution and some speculations

Based on the results of a study of regional element abundance in eastern China and the 1:200 000 geochemical surveys in northern Xinjiang, the element geochemical characteristics of the exposed crust in 23 tectonic units of the continent of China are summarized. Compared with the global average abundance of the upper continental crust, the exposed crust of the continent of China is compositionally more evolved than the upper crust of the island arc, but less evolved than the mature Precambrian Canadian shield. The exposed crust of the North China and Yangtze platforms has a lower SiO₂ content, but markedly higher CaO and MgO contents due to the presence of widespread carbonate strata, which suggests that we should not neglect the contribution of carbonate rocks in the study of the exposed crust and the element abundance of the upper crust. In comparison with two recently published average compositional models of the global upper continental crust, the exposed crust of the continent of China is depleted in Au, Hg, Mo, Sn, and W, which suggests that their abundance in the present global models is overestimated. The exposed crust of the North China platform and the Qinling-Dabieshan fold belt to its south has lower μ(²³⁸U/²⁰⁴Pb) values (<8), but other regions of the continent of China exhibit much higher μ values, which implies that the low μ feature of the North China platform and its adjacent regions does not have global significance. Considering the apparent lateral variation in composition of the exposed crust for the tectonic units of the continent of China, there is no adequate reason to take the average upper crust compositional model of the North China platform and its adjacent regions as a reliable composition representative for Chinese and global upper continental crust composition.

Ultrahigh-pressure eclogite transformed from mafic granulite in the Dabie orogen, east-central China

Although ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks are present in many collisional orogenic belts, almost all exposed UHP metamorphic rocks are subducted upper or felsic lower continental crust with minor mafic boudins. Eclogites formed by subduction of mafic lower continental crust have not been identified yet. Here an eclogite occurrence that formed during subduction of the mafic lower continental crust in the Dabie orogen, east‐central China is reported. At least four generations of metamorphic mineral assemblages can be discerned: (i) hypersthene + plagioclase ± garnet; (ii) omphacite + garnet + rutile + quartz; (iii) symplectite stage of garnet + diopside + hypersthene + ilmenite + plagioclase; (iv) amphibole + plagioclase + magnetite, which correspond to four metamorphic stages: (a) an early granulite facies, (b) eclogite facies, (c) retrograde metamorphism of high‐pressure granulite facies and (d) retrograde metamorphism of amphibolite facies. Mineral inclusion assemblages and cathodoluminescence images show that zircon is characterized by distinctive domains of core and a thin overgrowth rim. The zircon core domains are classified into two types: the first is igneous with clear oscillatory zonation ± apatite and quartz inclusions; and the second is metamorphic containing a granulite facies mineral assemblage of garnet, hypersthene and plagioclase (andesine). The zircon rims contain garnet, omphacite and rutile inclusions, indicating a metamorphic overgrowth at eclogite facies. The almost identical ages of the two types of core domains (magmatic = 791 ± 9 Ma and granulite facies metamorphic zircon = 794 ± 10 Ma), and the Triassic age (212 ± 10 Ma) of eclogitic facies metamorphic overgrowth zircon rim are interpreted as indicating that the protolith of the eclogite is mafic granulite that originated from underplating of mantle‐derived magma onto the base of continental crust during the Neoproterozoic (c. 800 Ma) and then subducted during the Triassic, experiencing UHP eclogite facies metamorphism at mantle depths. The new finding has two‐fold significance: (i) voluminous mafic lower continental crust can increase the average density of subducted continental lithosphere, thus promoting its deep subduction; (ii) because of the current absence of mafic lower continental crust in the Dabie orogen, delamination or recycling of subducted mafic lower continental crust can be inferred as the geochemical cause for the mantle heterogeneity and the unusually evolved crustal composition.

麻粒岩的形成及其对大陆地壳演化的贡献

麻粒岩是地球中最重要的岩石类型之一，它的形成主要受地热条件的控制。麻粒岩的形成可以与大陆碰撞、大陆拉张以及大陆弧模式相联系。麻粒岩在某种程度上，还是下地壳的同义词。通过麻粒岩地体地及火山岩中麻粒岩捕虏体的研究，使人们对地球深部的物质组成和结构有了直接的了解。麻粒岩在陆壳的形成和演化中具有举足轻重的地位。陆核说、陆壳垂直增生或横向增生说，都以麻粒岩作为重要的岩石学依据。     

The lower crust of the Gangdese magmatic arc,southern Tibet,implication for the growth of continental crust

Magmatic arcs are thought to be the primary sites of modern-day continental crustal growth, and arc crustal sections provide an exceptional opportunity to directly observe the geological processes that occur there, yet few deeply exposed arc sections are available for direct study. The Gangdese magmatic arc, southern Tibet, formed during the Mesozoic subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere and Cenozoic collision between the Indian and Asian continents, and represent juvenile continental crust. However, the petrological components and compositions of the lower crust of the Gangdese arc remain unknown. Based on detailed geological mapping, we conducted a systemic geochemical, geochronological and zircon Hf isotopic study of well-exposed high-grade metamorphic and migmatitic rocks from the lower crust of the eastern Gangdese arc. The results obtained show that Late Cretaceous garnet amphibolites, dioritic and granitic gneisses, and Paleocene–Eocene garnet amphibolites and granitic gneisses are the main components of the Gangdese lower arc crust. These meta-intrusive rocks witnessed a long period of magmatic, and metamorphic and anatectic processes from the Middle Jurassic to the Late Eocene, and have chemical compositions that range from ultramafic to felsic, with an average SiO₂ content of 57.61 wt% and Mg# value of 0.49. These new data indicate firstly that the Gangdese lower arc crust has an overall intermediate composition and typical feature of juvenile crusts, and therefore supports the recent proposition that continental lower crusts are relatively felsic in composition, instead of mafic. We consider that the downward transport of felsic intrusives and associated sedimentary rocks into the deep crustal levels and subsequent partial melting resulted in componential and compositional changes of the Gangdese arc lower crust over time. This is a potential key mechanism in transforming primary lower arc crust to mature continental lower crust for the magmatic arcs with a complete growth history.

拉萨地体东南部整体地壳成分及其成因分析

造山带地壳结构和成分的基本特征对于认识大陆地壳成分演化和区域成矿背景具有重要意义.综合青藏高原拉萨地体东南部地球物理、高温高压岩石物性和岩浆岩地球化学资料,分析该地区地壳整体成分特征,并探讨其可能成因.该地区平均地壳波速显著低于全球大陆和造山带地壳的平均值,表明地壳整体具有中酸性成分,下地壳特征也可由中性岩石(残余体性质的中性含石榴石麻粒岩)解释.拉萨地体东南部整体地壳成分特征应与多阶段长英质化有关,包括碰撞前大陆弧演化阶段(以堆晶或残余体下地壳拆沉为主)和碰撞后高原垮塌阶段(以加厚下地壳拆沉为主,伴随印度古老长英质陆壳物质的俯冲回返/构造底侵).拉萨地体是研究大陆地壳成分演化的绝佳区域,亟待进一步开展多学科综合研究.

Deep crustal source of gneiss dome revealed by eclogite in migmatite (Montagne Noire,French Massif Central)

In orogens worldwide and throughout geologic time, large volumes of deep continental crust have been exhumed in domal structures. Extension-driven ascent of bodies of deep, hot crust is a very efficient mechanism for rapid heat and mass transfer from deep to shallow crustal levels and is therefore an important mechanism in the evolution of continents. The dominant rock type in exhumed domes is quartzofeldspathic gneiss (typically migmatitic) that does not record its former high-pressure (HP) conditions in its equilibrium mineral assemblage; rather, it records the conditions of emplacement and cooling in the mid/shallow crust. Mafic rocks included in gneiss may, however, contain a fragmentary record of a HP history, and are evidence that their host rocks were also deeply sourced. An excellent example of exhumed deep crust that retains a partial HP record is in the Montagne Noire dome, French Massif Central, which contains well-preserved eclogite (garnet+omphacite+rutile+quartz) in migmatite in two locations: one in the dome core and the other at the dome margin. Both eclogites record P ~ 1.5 ± 0.2 GPa at T  ~  700 ± 20°C, but differ from each other in whole-rock and mineral composition, deformation features (shape and crystallographic preferred orientation, CPO), extent of record of prograde metamorphism in garnet and zircon, and degree of preservation of inherited zircon. Rim ages of zircon in both eclogites overlap with the oldest crystallization ages of host gneiss at c. 310 Ma, interpreted based on zircon rare earth element abundance in eclogite zircon as the age of HP metamorphism. Dome-margin eclogite zircon retains a widespread record of protolith age (c. 470–450 Ma, the same as host gneiss protolith age), whereas dome-core eclogite zircon has more scarce preservation of inherited zircon. Possible explanations for differences in the two eclogites relate to differences in the protolith mafic magma composition and history and/or the duration of metamorphic heating and extent of interaction with aqueous fluid, affecting zircon crystallization. Differences in HP deformation fabrics may relate to the position of the eclogite facies rocks relative to zones of transpression and transtension at an early stage of dome development. Regardless of differences, both eclogites experienced HP metamorphism and deformation in the deep crust at c. 310 Ma and were exhumed by lithospheric extension—with their host migmatite—near the end of the Variscan orogeny. The deep crust in this region was rapidly exhumed from ~50 to <10 km, where it equilibrated under low-P/high-T conditions, leaving a sparse but compelling record of the deep origin of most of the crust now exposed in the dome.     

从花岗岩的Sm—Nd同位素探讨华南中下地壳的组成,性质和演化

现有２４０个花岗岩体的Ｎｄ同位素资料表明,华南内陆花岗岩可能主要由地壳部分熔融成成。从壳源花岗岩提取源岩成分信息的方法是把这种花岗岩的同位素成分同出露的元古代弱变质地壳的相应资料作比较。野外关系说明,华南内陆花岗岩侵入毗邻的围岩,因此其形成深度应该出现在出露的深度大。。因为这些花岗岩的定位深度一般在5～15km之间,这些壳源花岗岩可能代表一种中地壳探度的熔融．它们的同位索成分应能提供在这一探度上地壳成分的信息。根据华南壳源花岗岩同出露的元古代弱变质地壳岩石的Sm—Nd同位素对比,华南内陆大部分地区在中地壳探度上存在中性至长英质成分的地壳,并且从早古生代到中生代不曾发生过明显变化。但是花岗岩浆的分异作用所导致的Sm、Nd分馏可能是亲石元素矿化的一个重要控制因素。
