铀矿fs-LA-ICP-MS原位微区U-Pb定年

利用飞秒激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱(fs-LA-ICP-MS)对锆石和铀矿之间的Pb/U分馏行为,以及纳米比亚白岗岩中晶质铀矿进行了详细的原位微区U-Pb年代学研究.结果表明,fs-LA-ICP-MS分析过程中铀矿和锆石之间表现出显著不同的Pb/U分馏行为,利用锆石标准物质M257校正铀矿U-Pb定年标准物质GBW04420得到的年龄偏大17%.因此,精确的铀矿LA-ICP-MS原位微区U-Pb定年需要基体匹配的标准物质进行校正.以GBW04420为外标,利用fs-LA-ICP-MS在10?m,1 Hz激光条件,同时配备信号匀化装置(SSD)的前提下,对两个来自纳米比亚罗辛(Rossing)铀矿床东南侧欢乐谷(Gaudeanmus)地区的白岗岩岩石薄片中晶质铀矿进行了分析.其中一个样品给出的U-Pb谐和年龄为(507±1)Ma(2?,n=21),两个样品206Pb/238U加权平均年龄分别为(504±3)Ma(2?,n=21)和(503±3)Ma(2?,n=22).分析结果与前人的热电离质谱为基础的同位素稀释法(ID-TIMS)结果一致((509±1)和(508±12)Ma).同时与铀矿共生锆石给出的U-Pb上交点年龄结果 ((506±33)Ma(2?,n=29)和(501±51)Ma(2?,n=29))在误差范围内相同.由于共生高U锆石严重的Pb丢失,所以铀矿定年相对于共生锆石定年结果更为精确可靠.GBW04420是一个可以用于铀矿原位微区U-Pb同位素准确定年的标准物质.     

新疆西准噶尔包古图斑岩铜矿年代学研究

西准噶尔包古图铜矿是近几年新疆发现的又一个中型斑岩铜矿,其成岩成矿年代学的研究可以对矿床成因、区域成矿规律的认识有更好的制约.包古图地区出露一系列中酸性小岩体,前人按照出露面积大小将这些岩体编号为Ⅰ-Ⅹ号.目前,Ⅴ号岩体已经进行了详勘,探明为中型铜矿,其他几个岩体也都程度不同的投入了勘探工作量,并且发现了较好的成矿迹象.本文利用锆石SHRIMP U-Pb法和单矿物K-Ar法对Ⅴ号岩体进行了成岩成矿年代学研究,其中锆石25个测点的^206Pb/%238USHRIMP年龄大致可以分为加权平均值（335.6±7.8）Ma和（311.4±3.3）Ma的两组,前者被解释为捕获锆石,可能来源于包古图组凝灰岩或者深部的花岗质岩基,有待于进一步研究;后者为含矿岩体侵位年龄.本次研究获得成矿期黑云母的K-Ar年龄为（296.0±3.7）Ma和（297.3±3.8）Ma,结合我们以前所获得的辉钼矿Re-Os年龄310Ma,确定成矿时代为310~296Ma.花岗斑岩和闪长玢岩脉的K-Ar年龄为278~240Ma,根据穿插关系可以判定它们为成矿后脉岩.据此基本建立了包古图斑岩铜矿成岩成矿年代学框架.     

华北桑干地区大规模麻粒岩相变质作用的时代: 锆石U-Pb年代学

对桑干地区麻粒岩相变质沉积岩系(孔兹岩系)中变质和未变质侵入体进行锆石U-Pb年代学研究, 获得变质花岗岩、变质闪长岩锆石U-Pb年龄分别为2005±9 Ma和1921±1 Ma, 它们代表岩浆结晶年龄. 另外测得未变质粗粒石榴石花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄1892±10 Ma. 据此, 麻粒岩相变质作用时代应该晚于闪长岩的侵入年龄(1921 Ma), 略早于粗粒石榴石花岗岩的形成年代. 结合已有的年龄资料提出, 桑干地区发育的孔兹岩系、片麻岩地体和高压基性麻粒岩, 它们的麻粒岩相变质作用都发生在早元古代末. 这一时代是华北克拉通碰撞拼合的时代.     

帕米尔、南天山及其会聚带现代河流沉积物碎屑锆石U-Pb测年

现代河流沉积物携带了其物源区丰富的地质信息,通过对现代河流沉积物进行碎屑锆石U-Pb测年,可以了解其物源区地质体中锆石U-Pb年龄的组成。文中对帕米尔、南天山及其会聚带14条主干河流采集的现代河沙样品进行了碎屑锆石U-Pb测年,结合前人在该区域的锆石U-Pb测年结果,确定了帕米尔、南天山不同构造单元的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄特征;结合区域地质图,揭示了不同年龄峰可能的物源地质体,并推测了一些新的地质体的存在。结果显示,该区域不同构造带具有明显不同的锆石U-Pb年龄峰:南天山构造带的主要年龄峰为270~289Ma和428~449Ma,北帕米尔构造带的主要年龄峰为205~224Ma和448~477Ma,中帕米尔构造带的主要年龄峰为36~40Ma,南帕米尔构造带的主要年龄峰为80~82Ma和102~106Ma。这些年龄峰可以作为识别上述构造单元的特征年龄峰,为利用前陆盆地沉积地层碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄来示踪帕米尔和南天山在新生代的会聚过程提供了基础数据。     

松辽盆地南部基底花岗质岩石锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年:对盆地基底形成时代的制约

为了限定松辽盆地基底的形成时代,对松辽盆地南部7个基底花岗质岩石进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年研究.锆石的阴极发光图像显示,7个基底花岗质岩石中的锆石均呈自形晶,且具有典型的岩浆生长振荡环带.测年结果表明,位于西部斜坡区洮6井(T6-1)石英闪长岩形成于(236±3)Ma;位于东南隆起区北部榆参1#(YC1-1)井下部(2126 m)闪长岩形成于(319±1)Ma,其中有(364±3)Ma的捕获锆石,其上部(1994 m)钾长花岗岩(YC1-2)形成于(361±2)Ma;位于东南隆起区南部十屋断陷内秦2井(Q2-1)、松南121井(SN121)、松南122井(SN122)和松南72井(SN72)基底花岗质岩石锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果分别为(161±5),(165±2),(165±1)和(161±4)Ma.统计结果表明,中侏罗世花岗质岩石构成了基底花岗岩的主体,同时基底中发育有海西期和印支期岩浆活动.这暗示松辽盆地是在中生代中侏罗世造山作用之后发展起来的中生代晚期陆内或陆缘裂谷盆地.     

安徽庐枞（庐江-枞阳）盆地火山岩的年代学及其意义

庐枞盆地是长江中下游地区最重要的火山岩盆地之一,发育有龙门院、砖桥、双庙和浮山4组以橄榄安粗岩系为特征的火山岩地层．通过对4组火山岩中熔岩的锆石LA-ICP MS同位素定年,得到各组火山岩形成的时间分别为：龙门院组（134．8±1．8）Ma、砖桥组（134．1±1．6）Ma、双庙组（130．5±0．8）Ma和浮山组（127．1±1．2）Ma．庐枞盆地内火山岩皆形成于早白垩世,火山岩浆活动发生的起止时间约为135～127Ma,持续时间在8～10Ma左右．包括庐枞盆地在内的长江中下游地区各火山岩盆地均不存在侏罗纪火山岩浆活动．研究结果为进一步探讨和认识长江中下游及中国东部中生代构造-岩浆-成矿作用提供了新的年代学成果．     

粤北存在早侏罗世的岩浆活动——来自霞岚杂岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学的证据

报道了粤北梅州地区霞岚杂岩的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄,花岗岩（196±2）Ma,辉长岩（195±1）Ma,为中国东南部缺少200～180Ma期间的岩浆岩报道增添了新资料,又表明了滨太平洋构造域至少在195Ma左右已经开始作用于中国东南部．野外揭露的新鲜露头上,辉长岩与花岗岩之间有岩浆部分混合作用现象．辉长岩局部发育20～30cm的细粒边,从辉长岩往花岗岩方向逐渐变细;花岗岩中发育大量暗色细粒．微粒闪长质岩浆包体,形态多样、大小不一,边部有暗色矿物集中现象,部分界线呈截然、模糊或过渡关系：包体中出现针状磷灰石;辉长岩类与花岗质岩石的稀土配分模式基本一致,其微量元素特征也具有明显的一致性;二者年龄十分接近,且基性岩略晚于花岗岩形成。这些特征均表明,早侏罗世基性岩浆注入引起了深部陆壳物质的熔融,并形成了酸性岩浆,然后二者发生混合产生了霞岚杂岩．     

湖南沩山花岗岩中锆石LA-ICPMS U-Pb定年: 成岩启示和意义

运用阴极发光技术, 对湖南沩山花岗岩中的锆石进行了细致的内部结构分析, 并在此基础上利用LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb原位定年技术进行了同位素年龄测定. 结果表明, 沩山花岗岩体是一个印支晚期-燕山早期多次岩浆侵入的复式岩体, 其中印支期花岗岩(2个样品)形成时间为211.0±1.6和215.7±1.9 Ma; 燕山期花岗岩(2个样品)形成时间为187.4±3.5和184.5±5.1 Ma. 华南(尤其湖南)印支晚期花岗岩, 是秦岭-大别和松马两条印支期缝合带碰撞、挤压导致地壳叠置加厚后, 到了应力松弛阶段的产物; 而燕山早期花岗岩的形成与太平洋板块的俯冲物质无直接关系, 是伸展体制下板内中下地壳减压熔融的产物.     

蚌埠荆山“混合花岗岩”SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

蚌埠荆山“混合花岗岩”的岩相学特征和岩浆锆石的存在表明该“混合花岗岩”为岩浆成因. 花岗岩中锆石均具有继承锆石核和岩浆锆石振荡环带边. 锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年结果表明, 岩浆锆石的SHRIMP U-Pb年龄显示该花岗岩形成于160.2±1.3 Ma, 并且其形成可能与三叠纪超高压碰撞后岩石圈地幔和/或下地壳的拆沉有关; 大多数继承锆石形成于217.1±6.6 Ma, 这与大别-苏鲁造山带中超高压变质的峰期年龄相吻合; 部分继承锆石(年龄介于433~722 Ma之间)构成了上交点为850+85/-68 Ma, 下交点为260+100/ -140 Ma的不一致年龄线. 这意味着荆山花岗岩起源于经历超高压变质作用改造的华南地块地壳物质的部分熔融. 220 Ma±的超高压变质作用是引起继承锆石Pb丢失的重要原因.     

渤海湾盆地晚中生代构造地层划分及对比:对燕山运动的启示

通过对渤海湾盆地中生代地层同位素年代学研究、地震资料解释和测井、录井资料分析,将渤海湾盆地中生代地层划分为下-中三叠统、下-中侏罗统、上侏罗统、下白垩统、上白垩统等五个构造层.通过碎屑锆石的分析,渤海湾盆地碎屑岩记录了两期侏罗纪的岩浆活动,分别为180～175Ma、160～152Ma,可分别与燕山地区南大岭组和髫髻山组对应.但是,由于在渤海湾盆地没有直接发现侏罗纪火山岩,推测这两期活动可能主要集中在华北克拉通周缘而不是内部.通过火山岩和火山碎屑岩锆石的分析,渤海湾盆地早白垩世的岩浆活动主要有两期,分别为120～125Ma、110～100Ma,可以和华北克拉通东部岩浆活动对应.这些锆石年龄唯独缺乏了在华北克拉通北缘极其常见的土城子后期和张家口期火山活动,这可能与渤海湾盆地在晚侏罗世后期抬升有关.通过对比渤海湾盆地与燕山构造带中东段造山带中生代盆地构造和沉积地层发育过程,发现两者总体可以对比,但是也存在明显的差异.燕山构造带中东段缺少早-中三叠世的地层,渤海湾盆地缺失晚侏罗世晚期-早白垩世早期的地层.结合燕山构造带中东段晚中生代沉积构造相关研究成果,本文认为渤海湾盆地及其周缘燕山运动A幕表现微弱,而燕山运动B幕对渤海湾盆地及其周缘均产生了强烈的影响.目前的资料表明其表现方式存在差异,渤海湾盆地表现为垂直隆升,华北克拉通北缘表现为水平挤压隆升.     

湘西南兰蓉岩体锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及构造背景

湘西南兰蓉岩体为一加里东期小侵入体,由黑云母二长花岗岩和二云母二长花岗岩组成.（443.5±8.1）Ma的锆石SHRIMP U Pb年龄表明花岗岩形成于早志留世早期.主量元素组成表明岩体总体属钙碱性高钾钙碱性系列强过铝质花岗岩类.该侵入体Ba、（Ta＋Nb）、Sr、P、Ti强烈亏损,Rb、（Th＋U＋K）、（La＋Ce）、Nd、（Zr＋Hf＋Sm）、（Y＋Yb＋Lu）等相对富集;稀土元素含量较高、轻稀土富集明显、Eu显著亏损;Isr值为0.71299,εSr（t）值为120,εNd （t）值为 8.11和-8.89,t2DM为1.82和1.84Ga.C/MF-A/MF图解显示其源岩为泥质岩和砂屑岩.上述地球化学特征表明兰蓉岩体为陆壳碎屑岩石部分熔融形成的S型花岗岩.基于岩石成因、构造环境判别以及区域构造演化过程,推断兰蓉岩体的具体形成机制为：奥陶纪末志留纪初的北流运动（板内造山运动）导致地壳增厚、升温,尔后在挤压减弱、应力松弛的后碰撞减压构造环境下,中、上地壳酸性岩石发生部分熔融并向上侵位而形成兰蓉岩体.     

Emplacement age for the mafic-ultramafic plutons in the northern Dabie Mts. (Hubei): Zircon U-Pb, Sm-Nd and 40Ar/39Ar dating

The protoliths of mafic-ultramafic plutons in the northern Dabie Mts. (NDM) (Hubei) include pyroxenite and gabbro. The zircon U-Pb dating for a gabbro suggests that emplacement of mafic magma took place in the post-collisional setting at the age of 122.9(0.6 Ma. It is difficult to obtain a reliable Sm-Nd isochron age, due to disequilibrium of the Sm-Nd isotopic system. Two hornblende 40Ar/39Ar ages of 116.1(1.1 Ma and 106.6(0.8 Ma may record cooling of metamorphism in the mafic-ultramafic plutons in Hubei below 500(C. The hornblende 40Ar/39Ar ages for the mafic-ultramafic rocks in Hubei are evidently 15-25 Ma younger than those for the same rocks in Anhui, indicating that there is a diversity of the cooling rates for the mafic-ultramafic rocks in Hubei and Anhui. The difference in their cooling rates may be controlled by the north-dipping normal faults in the NDM. The intense metamorphism occurring in the mafic-ultramafic rocks in Hubei may result from the Yanshanian magmatic reheating and thermal fluid action induced by the Cretaceous migmatization. The geochemical similarity of these mafic-ultramafic rocks wherever in Hubei and Anhui may be attributed to the same tectonic setting via an identical genetic mechanism.     

Early Yanshanian post-orogenic granitoids in the Nanling region-- Petrological constraints and geodynamic settings

Early Yanshanian magmatic suites predominate absolutely in the Nanling granite belt.They consist mainly of monzogranite and K-feldspar granite.There occur associations of early Yanshanian A-type granitoids(176 Ma-178 Ma) and bimodal volcanic rocks(158 Ma-179 Ma) in southern Jiangxi and southwestern Fujian in the eastern sector of the granite belt and early Yanshanian basalts(177 Ma-178 Ma) in southern Hunan in the central sector of the belt.Both the acid end-member rhyolite in the bimodal volcanic rock association and A-type granitoids in southern Jiangxi have the geochemical characteristics of intraplate granitic rocks and the basic end-member basalt of the association is intraplate tholeiite,while the basaltic rocks in southern Hunan include not only intraplate tholeiite but also intraplate alkali basalt.Therefore the early Yanshanian magmatic suites in the Nanling region are undoubtedly typical post-orogenic rock associations.Post-orogenic suites mark the end of a post-collision or late orogenic event and the initiation of Pangaea break-up,indicating that a new orogenic Wilson cycle is about to start.Therefore it may be considered that the early Yanshanian geodynamic settings in the Nanling region should be related to post-orogenic continental break-up after the Indosinian orogeny and the break-up did not begin in the Cretaceous.

Geology of the Grove Mountains in East Antarctica——New evidence for the final suture of Gondwana Land

As the core block of the East Gondwana Land, the East Antarctic Shield was traditionally thought, before 1992, as an amalgamation of a number of Archaean-Paleoproterozoic nuclei, be-ing welded by Grenville aged mobile belts during 1400—900 Ma, while the …     

Silurian A-type granitoids in the southern margin of the Tongbai-Dabieshan: Evidence from SHRIMP zircon geochronology and geochemistry

The Dabieshan Orogenic belt is well known for the exhumation of early Mesozoic ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks and Jurassic–Cretaceous emplacement of voluminous granitoids. However, the tectonic evolution in the orogen during the Paleozoic, especially its magmatic response to tectonism has not received much attention. As indicated by published data, the Dabieshan orogenic belt contains different records of Paleozoic magmatic-tectonic association in different tectonic units. Occ…     

Geochemistry,zircon U–PB ages and HF isotopes of the Muong Luan granitoid pluton,Northwest Vietnam and its petrogenetic significance

The Indosinian Orogeny plays a significant role in tectonic background and magmatic evolution in Indochina and surrounding regions. Being a part product of the Indosinian magmatism in northwest Vietnam during late Permian–middle Triassic period, Muong Luan granitoid pluton dominantly consists of granodiorite, less diorite and granite. This pluton is located in the Song Ma suture and assigned to the Dien Bien complex. Geochemically, the Muong Luan granitoid rocks are characterized by a wide range of SiO₂ contents (59.9–75.1 wt%) and high K₂O contents. They display typical features of I‐type granites. The presence of hornblende and no muscovite and cordierite in the rocks further supports for I‐type character of granitoids. The emplacement age of the Muong Luan pluton obtained by LA–ICP–MS U–Pb zircon is at 242–235 Ma, corresponding to Indosinian time. Zircon ε_Hf values of –5.6 to –10.4, in combination with moderate Mg values of 34–45 suggested that the Muong Luan granitoid was derived from partial melting of mafic crustal source rocks, which are probably Paleoproterozoic in age as revealed by Hf model ages (T_DM2 = 1624–1923 Ma).     

UPb zircon and rutile chronology of Archean greenstone formation and gold mineralization in the Val d'Or region, Quebec

UPb geochronology provides an absolute time framework for the evolution of the Sigma gold deposit and surrounding rocks at Val d'Or, southern Abitibi subprovince. The Bourlamaque batholith, the largest pluton in the area, gives a 2699.8 ± 1.0 Ma UPb zircon age. This pluton cuts the Val d'Or Formation which hosts the mineralization. A UPb zircon age of 2704.9 ± 1.1 Ma on a felsic volcanic rock, the Colombière “rhyolite”, 13 km east of the mine dates that formation. The gold-bearing quartz vein system at Sigma is hosted by andesites and two generations of porphyry intrusions, all metamorphosed to the greenschist facies. The oldest porphyry (“porphyritic diorite”) shows the same deformation as the volcanic rocks, and has a 2703.7 ± 2.5 Ma UPb zircon age. The porphyritic diorite and volcanic rocks are cut by feldspar-porphyry dykes which post-date regional folding and have a 2694.0 ± 2.2 Ma UPb zircon age.Regional greenschist metamorphism has been dated directly, with a UPb date of 2684 ± 7 Ma on rutile in the Colombière “rhyolite”. The mineralization and hydrothermal alteration in the mine are superimposed on the metamorphic minerals. Hydrothermal rutile, from an alteration halo around the veins in andesite, has a 2599 ± 9 Ma UPb age. Textural evidence clearly indicates that the wall-rock alteration and vein filling are contemporaneous, and hence the vein system and gold mineralization appear to have developed at least 80 m.y. after the formation and metamorphism of host greenstones.
