俄罗斯白海活动带中的太古宙榴辉岩

在俄罗斯白海活动区发现的迄今为止最古老的太古宙榴辉岩的出露,对整个地质学领域是一次革命性事件。白海活动带位于芬诺斯干地亚地盾东北部太古宙陆核,处于科拉半岛大陆和卡累利阿克拉通之间的太古宙增生碰撞带中,在新太古代和古元古代期间多次受到中高压变质和构造变形作用。榴辉岩出露包括Gridino和Salma两大地区。Gridino榴辉岩区的榴辉岩产状可分为TTG片麻岩围岩中具有复杂成因的太古宙榴辉岩包裹镶体(2.72 Ga),组成强烈构造变形的混合混杂岩体(mélange),以及众多古元古代侵入岩墙岩脉状基性榴辉岩。Salma榴辉岩区的榴辉岩年龄应该晚于2.87 Ga,其中的Fe Ti 榴辉岩年龄测定为约2.80 Ga。两大榴辉岩区的p T演化轨迹比较类似,Gridino榴辉岩的峰期变质温压值(T=740~865 ℃,p=1.4~1.8 GPa)比Salma榴辉岩(T≈700 ℃,p=1.3~1.4 GPa)要高。Salma榴辉岩原岩可能与大洋环境有关。     

Paleoproterozoic eclogites in the salma area,Northwestern Belomorian Mobile Belt: Composition and isotopic geochronologic characteristics of minerals and metamorphic age

The paper represents results of a comprehensive geochemical and isotopic-geochemical (SIMS) study of eclogites from the northwestern part of the Belomorian Belt (Salma eclogites). A detailed fieldwork was carried out at the quarry of the Kuru-Vaara deposit of ceramic pegmatite in the northwestern part of the study area, in which tonalite-trondhjemite gneisses include bodies and blocks of eclogite and Grt-Aug eclogite-like clinopyroxenite and are cut across by numerous pegmatite veins. The least altered types of the Grt-Cpx rocks selected for our further research included: (1) widespread massive homogeneous fine-grained Grt-Omp eclogite that replaced gabbro and contained symplectites of Pl + low-Na-Cpx around omphacite and Pl-Hbl kelyphite rims around Grt; and (2) coarse-grained eclogite-like Grt-Hbl-Aug clinopyroxenite beds up to 20 cm thick in the central parts of high-Mg metaultrabasites, which are mostly tremolite-actinolite schists. The REE patterns of garnet, clinopyroxene, and amphibole from the eclogites confirm that they crystallized simultaneously, under a high pressure, and in the absence of plagioclase. Local U-Pb dates of the zircons and their geochemistry are at variance with the earlier hypothesis that the eclogite metamorphism occurred in the Archean. The eclogites and Grt-Hbl-Aug clinopyroxenite were determined to contain zircons of Svecofennian age (approximately 1900 Ma), which show all geochemical characteristics of classic eclogitic zircons and occur either as individual crystals or as rims around Archean magmatic zircons from the primary gabbroids.     

The age of the protolith of metamorphic rocks in the southeastern part of the Lapland granulite belt,southern Kola Peninsula: Correlation with the Belomorian mobile belt in the context of the problem of Archean eclogites

U-Pb zircon isotopic data on rocks from the Kandalaksha-Umba zone of the Lapland granulite belt in the Por’ya Bay area constrain the age of the protolith of the apodacite (apotonalite) Opx-Bt granulite gneisses at 2799 ± 4 Ma, and the age of the apogabbronorite Grt-Opx-Cpx-Hbl crystalline schists at 2315 ± 23 Ma. The U-Pb sphene age of the magmatic crystallization of the postmetamorphic granodiorites is 1901 ± 5 Ma. The zircon yields the U-Pb age of the contamination of xenogenic zircons, which were captured during the dissolution of xenoliths of the host Grt-Opx-Cpx-Hbl crystalline schists in granodiorite melt. The comparison of the most important attributes of the endogenic histories of the adjacent Lapland Granulite and Belomorian Mobile belts testifies to their similar evolutionary histories: (1) the protolith age of the acid Opx-Bt granulites of the Lapland Belt (2799 ± 4 Ma) coincides with the protolith age of acid gneisses in the Belomorian Belt (2890-2690 Ma); (2) the ages of the gabbronorite protolith of Grt-Opx-Cpx-Hbl granulites in the Lapland Belt (2315 ± 23 Ma) and gabbro-anorthosite in the Kolvitsa Massif (2462-2423 Ma) are close to the protolith age of eclogitized gabbronorites in the Belomorian coronite suite (2.46–2.36 Ga); (3) the age of granulite metamorphism of acid and mafic rocks in the Lapland Belt is 1912–1925 Ma, and the age of eclogite metamorphism of gneisses and metabasites in the Belomorian Belt is approximately 1.9 Ga, i.e., their metamorphism took place in Svecofennian time; (4) the peak pressure of granulite metamorphism in the Lapland Belt was 9–11 kbar at a temperature of 800–850°C, whereas the peak metamorphic parameters of eclogite metamorphism in the Belomorian Belt were 10–12 kbar and 640–700°C. This means that the metamorphic complexes of the Lapland and Belomorian belts had the same Mezo- and Neoarchean protoliths hosting bodies of Paleoproterozoic gabbroids and were completely formed largely by a single cycle of Svecofennian high-pressure zonal metamorphism within a temperature range from the lowest grade of the eclogite to the granulite facies.     

Quartz and orthopyroxene exsolution lamellae in clinopyroxene and the metamorphic P–T path of Belomorian eclogites

The Shirokaya Salma eclogite‐bearing complex is located in the Archean–Palaeoproterozoic Belomorian Province (Russia). Its eclogites and eclogitic rocks show multiple clinopyroxene breakdown textures, characterized by quartz–amphibole, orthopyroxene and plagioclase lamellae. Representative samples, a fresh eclogite, two partly retrograded eclogites, and a strongly retrograded eclogitic rock, were collected for this study. Two distinct mineral assemblages—(1) omphacite+garnet+quartz+rutile±amphibole and (2) clinopyroxene+garnet+amphibole+plagioclase+quartz+rutile+ilmenite±orthopyroxene—are described. Based on phase equilibria modelling, these assemblages correspond to the eclogite and granulite facies metamorphism that occurred at 16–18 kbar, 750–800°C and 11–15 kbar, 820–850°C, respectively. The quartz–amphibole lamellae in clinopyroxene formed during retrogression with water ingress, but do not imply UHP metamorphism. The superfine orthopyroxene lamellae developed due to breakdown of an antecedent clinopyroxene (omphacite) during retrogression that was triggered by decompression from the peak of metamorphism, while the coarser orthopyroxene grains and rods formed afterwards. The P–T path reconstructed for the Shirokaya Salma eclogites is comparable to that of the adjacent 1.9 Ga Uzkaya Salma eclogite (Belomorian Province), and those of several other Palaeoproterozoic high‐grade metamorphic terranes worldwide, facts allowing us to debate the exact timing of eclogite facies metamorphism in the Belomorian Province.     

Multistage Svecofennian metamorphism: Evidence from the composition and U-Pb age of titanite from eclogites of the Belomorian Mobile Belt

The first geochemical study of titanite from eclogites and associated rocks of the Belomorian Mobile Belt (BMB) by secondary ion mass spectrometry made it possible to establish the compositional features of this mineral in the garnet-bearing and garnet-free assemblages. Titanite from garnet-bearing assemblages is characterized by upward convex REE pattern and lowered HREE content relative to LREE, as well as the average Gd_N/Yb_N ratio around 16.5. Titanite from metaultrabasic rock inherits the specific features of the host rock, which should be taken into account when comparing with titanite from metagabbro. Results of U-Pb (TIMS) dating of titanite confirms the identification of the early and late stages of the Svecofennian metamorphism in the studied areas of BMB: early metamorphism with the peak eclogite facies conditions at around 1900 Ma, retrograde amphibolite facies metamorphism at 1870–1880 Ma, and late allochemical metamorphism accompanied by the pegmatite formation with an age of 1840 Ma.     

Archaean Kuru-Vaara eclogites in the northern Belomorian Province,Fennoscandian Shield: crustal architecture,timing, and tectonic implications

This paper addresses the relationships between relic amphibole-eclogite facies (AE) eclogites and their host units, Archaean amphibolites, enveloped by Archaean tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) gneisses, in the Kuru-Vaara study area in the northern Belomorian Province. According to observational constraints, the crystallization of the relic peak omphacite + Mg-garnet ± kyanite assemblage and the subsequent replacement of omphacite by clinopyroxene–plagioclase symplectite occurred before the earliest deformational, metamorphic, and migmatization events that are recorded in the amphibolites. The amphibolites and their TTG hosts have a shared deformational and metamorphic history that is composed of the Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic periods. This history favours the conclusion that the AE metamorphism recorded in the relic eclogites within the amphibolites occurred during the Mesoarchaean to Neoarchaean periods. The deformation and metamorphism of the amphibolite facies of the second period resulted from the Lapland–Kola collisional orogeny at 1.91–1.93 Ga, which led to eclogite–high-pressure granulite (E–HPG) facies conditions in the lowermost portions of the over-thickened crust in Belomorian Province (the southwestern foreland of the Lapland–Kola collisional orogen). The Palaeoproterozoic E–HPG overprint was reported from the Palaeoproterozoic Gridino mafic dikes. Although the ages of the oldest low Th/U zircons are close to the time of the Lapland–Kola collision, the low Th/U 1.9–1.8 Ga zircons reflect a zircon response to regional fluid infiltration in the eclogites during slow exhumation following the Lapland–Kola orogeny and do not record any metamorphic event. Contrary to the Palaeoproterozoic E–HPG overprint, the areal occurrence of the 2.7–2.8 Ga AE eclogites with mid-ocean ridge basalt-like chemistry and their paragenetic link with the TTG gneisses suggest a tectonic regime that involves subduction. This research favours concepts suggesting that the modern-style plate tectonics has operated in some places, at least since the late Mesoarchaean.     

Petrogenesis of Maobei rutile eclogites from the southern Sulu ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belt, eastern China

The Maobei complex in the southern Sulu ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt, eastern China, mainly consists of layered eclogites, garnet peridotites and orthogneisses. Based on the modal mineral and whole‐rock compositions, eclogites from the Maobei complex are divided into quartz eclogite, quartz‐rich eclogite, rutile eclogite, rutile‐rich eclogite and eclogite. The distinct spatial changes in the lithology and related chemical compositions indicate that this complex includes 10 rhythmic layers. The rutile eclogites have high TiO₂ (2.4–5.9 wt%), commonly coupled with high P₂O₅ (up to 4.1 wt%) contents; most show fractionated REE patterns with slight positive Eu anomalies. The rutile‐rich eclogites have very high TiO₂ (3.3–5.7 wt%), FeO^T (17.5–25.3 wt%), V (126–1163 ppm) and Co (14–132 ppm), and very low SiO₂ (38.0–42.3 wt%), Zr (24–85 ppm), Nb (0.3–6.9 ppm), Ta (<0.1–0.6 ppm) and total REE (10.7–334.0 ppm) contents, variable degree of LREE depletion, and positive Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 1.1–2.9), and the Ti is decoupled from other high‐field‐strength elements. These characteristics are consistent with Fe‐Ti gabbros of typical layered intrusions, implying a cumulate of plagioclase, clinopyroxene and abundant accessory magnetite in an evolved basaltic magmatic chamber. Based on a normal stratigraphic sequence, the Maobei complex shows an iron‐enrichment trend, followed by alkaline enrichment with increasing fractionated crystallization and stratigraphic height. These facts, together with SHRIMP U‐Pb zircon ages of 773.7 ± 8.0 Ma, indicate that the protolith of the Maobei complex is a Neoproterozoic layered intrusion consisting of a base of peridogabbro, a main body of gabbro and minor granodiorite. Unusually high Ti, V and P contents in three rutile eclogite layers suggest that they are potential economic ore deposits.

Trace elements in various genetic types of zircon from syenite of the Sakharjok massif,Kola Peninsula

Zircon is an accessory mineral in alkali and nepheline syenites of the Neoarchean Sakharjok intrusion. Zircon in association with britholite and pyrochlore forms orebodies in nepheline syenite of this massif. Zircon crystals reveal an inhomogeneous zonal, occasionally mosaic structure comprising fragments and zones related to magmatic, hydrothermal, and metamorphic stages of mineral formation. Magmatic zircon differs by a high REE concentration (1769 ppm, on average), distinct Ce maximum (Ce/Ce* = 105, on average), and Eu minimum (Eu/Eu* = 0.19) as compared with other genetic types. No correlation between these parameters has been established. Hydrothermal zircon is characterized by a low Ce/Ce* ratio (0.7–3.9 and 2.0, on average), elevated LREE contents, and lowered ratios of MREE and HREE to La. Metamorphic zircon differs from magmatic by a sharply lower REE concentration (385 ppm, on average), lowered Th/U (0.32) and Ce/Ce* (31.9, on average) ratios. In the Ce/Ce* versus MREE/La plot, the lowest values of these ratios are typical of hydrothermal zircon, while the intermediate and maximum values are inherent to metamorphic and magmatic zircons, respectively. These variations make it possible to delineate reliable fields of their compositions. The distribution of data points in the above-mentioned plots shows that REE chemical activity depends on the redox conditions of zircon crystallization.     

The Belomorian eclogite province: sequence of events and age of the igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Gridino association

Within the Belomorian eclogite province, near Gridino Village, rocks of different compositions (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodioritic gneisses, granites, mafic and ultramafic rocks) were metamorphosed. The metamorphism included subsidence with increasing pressure and temperature, an eclogite stage, decompression in the granulitic facies, and a retrograde stage in the amphibolitic facies. We attempted to characterize the succession and to date igneous and metamorphic events in the evolution of the Gridino eclogite association. For this purpose, we conducted the following studies: U–Pb isotope dating of zircon (conventional and SHRIMP II methods) from gneisses, a mafic dike, and a high-pressure granitic leucosome; U–Pb dating of rutile from mafic dikes; ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of amphibole and mica; and Sm–Nd studies of rocks and minerals. The Sm–Nd model ages of felsic (2.9–3.1 Ga) and mafic (3.0–3.4 Ga) rocks from the Gridino eclogite association and individual magmatic zircon grains with an age of ca. 3.0 Ga indicate the Mesoarchean age of the metamorphic-rock protoliths. The most reliable result is the upper age bound of eclogitic metamorphism (2.71 Ga), which reflects the time of the posteclogitic decompression melting of eclogitized rocks under high-pressure retrograde granulitic metamorphism. The mafic dikes formed from 2.82 Ga to 2.72 Ga, most probably, at 2.82 Ga, in accordance with the crystallization age of magmatic zircon from metagabbro. Superimposed amphibolitic metamorphism and the “final” exhumation of metamorphic complexes at 2.0–1.9 Ga are associated with the later Svecofennian tectonometamorphic stage. Successive cooling of the metamorphic associations to 300 °C at 1.9–1.7 Ga is shown by U–Pb rutile dating and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar mica dating.     

柴北缘夹榴辉岩的片麻岩（片岩）地球化学、Sm-Nd和U-Pb同位素研究——深俯冲的前寒武纪变质基底？

在柴北缘的鱼卡-锡铁山-沙柳河一带,出露夹有榴辉岩透镜体的花岗质片麻岩(正片麻岩)和副片麻岩(片岩)。地球化学和Sm-Nd同位素数据显示副片麻岩(片岩)与正片麻岩具有类似的地球化学成分和一致的Nd模式年龄(1.88～2.18Ga),结合副片麻岩(片岩)局部包在正片麻岩中的野外关系,正片麻岩可能为副片麻岩(片岩)原地熔融作用的产物。U-Pb锆石测定表明熔融作用产生的正片麻岩的岩浆形成时代为952Ma。另外,这些夹榴辉岩的片麻岩(片岩)也与柴北缘北侧不夹榴辉岩的深变质基底片麻岩和中南祁连地块的变质基底片麻岩有相似Sm-Nd同位素特征和近一致Nd模式年龄(1.87～2.26Ga)。表明它们具有明显的亲缘关系,可能来源于具有古元古代晚期地壳形成年龄的同一变质基底。然而,与柴北缘北 侧和祁连地块的深变质基底岩石不同的是,这套含榴辉岩的片麻岩(片岩)明显遭受了早古生代变质作用的影响,正片麻岩锆石U-Pb测定获得的下交点年龄为478±44Ma,与柴北缘地区榴辉岩的变质锆石的年龄在误差范围内一致;而已在都兰地区副片麻岩锆石中柯石英包体的发现也证明了含榴辉岩的片麻岩(片岩)与榴辉岩一样同样经历了UHP变质作用。因此,我们认为柴北缘含榴辉岩的片麻岩虽然具有与相邻变质基底相似的早期演化历史,但在早古生代又与所夹的榴辉岩     

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.     

Protolith age of eclogites from the southern part of Pezhostrov Island,Belomorian belt: Protolith of metabasites as indicator of eclogitization time

Several types of metabasites of different age were identified in the southern part of Pezhostrov Island: eclogites with a magmatic protolith age of about 2200 Ma and 2500 Ma old metagabbroanorthosites that retained no eclogitic assemblage. It is shown that the Paleoproterozoic eclogites dominate volumetrically over Archean eclogites in the Belomorian eclogitic province. Eclogites with the youngest Jatulian protolith age (no older than 2200 Ma) occur with the same frequency as those with the Archean protolith age. A new find of eclogites with a Paleoproterozoic age of magmatic protolith and generalization of accumulated geochronological data confirm the recognition of an extended zone of high-pressure metamorphism with an age around 1900 Ma in the Belomorian mobile belt.     

REE concentrations of garnet and omphacite in eclogites from the Dabie Mountain, central China

Distributions of the rare-earth elements (REE) in omphacite and garnet and REE behaviors during metamorphic processes were discussed. The REE concentrations of garnet and omphacite in six eclogite samples from the Dabie Mountain, central China, were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The correlation of δEu ratios between garnet and omphacite indicated that chemical equilibrium of REE distribution between garnet and omphacite could be achieved during ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphism. Most of the partition coefficients (Kd=CiOmp/CiGrt) of light rare-earth elements (LREE) are higher than 1. However the partition coefficients of heavy rare-earth elements (HREE) are lower than 1. This indicated that the LREE inclined to occupy site M2 in omphacite, but the HREEs tended to occupy eightfold coordinated site in garnet during the eclogite formation. The REE geochemistry of the eclogites indicated that LREE could be partially lost during the prograde metamorphic process of protolith, but be introduced into the rocks during the symplectite formation. LREE are more active than HREE during the UHP metamorphism. The results are favorable to highlighting the REE behavior and evolution of UHP metamorphic rocks.     

The geochemistry and isotopic age of eclogites from the Belomorian Belt (Kola Peninsula): evidence for subducted Archean oceanic crust

We present results of geochemical studies and isotope dating of eclogites and associated rocks from the Kuru-Vaara quarry, Belomorian Belt, Northeastern Baltic Shield. The southern and northern eclogites are similar in geochemical features. Their protoliths were primitive, mainly high-Mg basalts of oceanic affinity derived from a primitive mantle source rather than from a depleted mantle source characteristic of modern MORB. The post-eclogitic intrusive rocks show obvious evidence for crustal contamination. The eclogite-hosting tonalitetrondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) gneisses form a coherent series including high-Al and low-Al varieties. The trace element data show that the TTG series formed through the hydrous partial melting of the southern eclogites in the presence of garnet and amphibole in the field of the rutile stability (>15 kbar). Zircons from the southern eclogites exhibit features of their strong re-equilibration by coupled dissolution–repre-cipitation processes but have locally preserved patches with a primary magmatic zoning. The geochemistry of the patches points to the oceanic provenance of protolithic zircons; their isotope dating (SHRIMP-II) yielded a concordant age of 2821 ± 21 Ma. Zircons from the trondhjemite gneiss with geochemical features of Archean adakite were dated at 2805 ± 11 Ma, which suggests the syneclogitic facies origin of the TTG melts. The concordant age of high-pressure zircons from the northern eclogites is 2722 ± 21 Ma, close to the age of the earlier described Gridino eclogites. The overview of the isotopically dated eclogite bodies show the presence of at least three temporally distinct groups of eclogites in the Belomorian Belt, ～2.86–2.87, ～2.82–2.80, and ～2.72 Ga, which is in a good accordance with the known isotopic ages for major crust-forming events in the belt. This, in turn, implies a close genetic relationship between the eclogites and the TTG origin, which might be consistent with the model of the short intermitted events of subduction of the thickened Archean oceanic crust. The presence of HP/UHP eclogites of different ages and the structural style of the Belomorian Belt permit it to be assigned to megamélange belts.     

不同成因锆石阴极发光及微量元素特征:以新疆阿尔泰地区花岗岩和伟晶岩为例

新疆阿勒泰可可托海地区出露大量花岗岩和伟晶岩脉,利用阴极发光显微照相(CL)、电子探针背散射(BSE)和激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子质谱技术(LA-ICP-MS),观察和分析岩石中锆石的内部结构、稀土元素及Th,U含量后结果表明:该区花岗岩锆石具振荡环带和强烈的阴极发光特征,Th/U比值较高(Th/U=0.16～0.99),轻稀土亏损、重稀土富集,具较大的Ce正异常,为典型岩浆成因锆石。伟晶岩(KP-08-11)锆石为热液锆石,不具振荡环带和阴极发光,具低的Th/U比值(0.01～0.13),强烈富集稀土元素,尤其是轻稀土元素较花岗岩锆石高一个数量级,Ce的正异常相对较低。伟晶岩(KP3-08-1)锆石为变质重结晶锆石,Th/U比值分布范围较广(0.01～0.78),强烈亏损稀土元素,稀土元素配分模式存在显著的"REE四分组效应"。微量元素特征表明,伟晶岩(KP-08-11)锆石可能结晶自富U贫Th的残余岩浆流体,而伟晶岩(KP3-08-1)的锆石经历了蜕晶质化和变质重结晶作用,但依然保持了共存伟晶岩熔体的微量元素特征。     

中祁连地块北缘退变榴辉岩的发现及其地质意义

Trace elements in zircon and coexisting minerals from low-T/UHP metagranite in the Dabie orogen: Implications for action of supercritical fluid during continental subduction-zone metamorphism

Simultaneously in-situ analyses of U–Pb isotopes and trace elements were carried out for zircons, in combination with the in-situ analyses of trace elements in coexisting minerals, from low-T/UHP metagranite in the Dabie orogen. The results provide geochemical evidence for the existence of supercritical fluid during continental subduction-zone metamorphism. The zircons are categorized into three types based on their patterns of REE distribution. Type I zircons show increasing enrichment from La to Lu, with prominent positive Ce anomalies and negative Eu anomalies, which are typical of magmatic zircon. Some of them display regular or blurred oscillatory-zoned texture and apparent ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of 341 to 780 Ma, suggesting metamorphic modification by solid-state recrystallization with no significant involvement of metamorphic fluid. Type II zircons share similar Th, U and HFSE contents and REE patterns to Type I zircons. However, they exhibit blurred oscillatory-zoned texture or are unzoned, have apparent ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of 348 to 709 Ma, and are LREE-enriched relative to Type I zircons. This suggests that they underwent metamorphic reworking by replacement recrystallization in the presence of metamorphic fluid. The LREE enrichment is due to the presence of microscale LREE-bearing mineral inclusions (such as apatite, monazite or epidote) in the zircons. Type III zircons, representing the majority of the present analyses, are characterized by spongy texture and consistent enrichment of LREE, HREE, Th, U and HFSE relative to Type I zircons. They yield nearly concordant U–Pb ages close to the discordia lower-intercept. The consistent enrichment of trace elements relative to the magmatic zircon indicates involvement of a special UHP metamorphic fluid that has a strong capacity to extract significant amounts of LREE, HREE, Th, U and HFSE from such accessory minerals as allanite, garnet, rutile and zircon. Because these minerals are stable in the field of hydrous melt in granite–water systems, they are not able to be decomposed during the exhumation of deeply subducted continental crust. Thus, a supercritical fluid is suggested to transport the LREE, HREE, Th, U and HFSE in the accessory minerals to recrystallized zircons. The mechanism of dissolution recrystallization is responsible for the spongy texture and the very high concentration of trace elements in this type of metamorphic zircons. Therefore, the action of supercritical fluid is evident under the low-T/UHP metamorphic conditions.     

New data on the age of eclogites from the Belomorian mobile belt at Gridino settlement area

The repeated isotopic and geochemical study of zircons of the eclogite from Stolbikha Island (Gridino settlement area) allows one to interpret the U-Pb age value of about 2700 Ma by central parts of zircon grains as a magmatic event time, probably rejuvenated to a degree by intense manifestation of the eclogite metamorphism of about 1880 Ma age. The Svecofennian high-pressure metamorphism caused a partial recrystallization of zircons of magmatic origin and the appearance of their rims showing typical geochemical characteristics of eclogite zircons.     

河西走廊晚泥盆世地层中冥古宙碎屑锆石的发现

河西走廊地区晚泥盆统中宁组地层中,利用LA-ICP-MS法测年获得了3.9Ga和4.0Ga两颗碎屑锆石,其Th/U依次为1.01和0.58,均为岩浆锆石。两颗锆石稀土元素呈轻稀土(LREE)亏损、重稀土(HREE)富集,均具有Ce正异常,其中4.0Ga锆石具有Eu负异常,3.9Ga锆石无Eu负异常。利用锆石中⁴⁹Ti的含量计算原岩岩浆温度分别为792±36℃(3.9Ga)和967±45℃(4.0Ga)。3.9Ga锆石获得原位Hf同位素结果,¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf_i=0.280169,ε_Hf(t)=-3.6,t_DM=4139Ma, t_DM^C=4319Ma。这两颗>3.9Ga碎屑锆石为西北地区首次发现,其微量元素特征说明在冥古宙时地球上可能存在地壳;结合前人古生物和古地磁研究结果,说明河西走廊在晚泥盆世时同澳大利亚西北部可能具有亲缘性。
