祁连地块北缘前寒武基底早古生代再活化:变基性岩相平衡模拟和锆石年代学证据

北祁连造山带是典型的早古生代增生型造山带，具有典型增生型造山带的"沟-弧-盆"体系。祁连地块位于北祁连造山带南部，由深变质的前寒武纪基底和新元古代到中生代的沉积盖层组成。在连祁地块北缘门源宝库河附近延伸数千米的变基性岩（主体为斜长角闪岩和角闪岩）中识别出了基性麻粒岩，峰期矿物组合为石榴子石+斜长石+钾长石+普通辉石+角闪石+钛铁矿+石英，相平衡模拟计算结果显示峰期温压条件为P=10.6kbar、T=800℃，峰期之后经历了近等温降压的P-T轨迹。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学结果显示变基性岩的原岩结晶年龄分别为1110±18Ma和1140±30Ma，变质年龄分别为478.2±3.9Ma和469±4.6Ma，结合近等温降压的P-T轨迹，469~478Ma的变质年龄应近似代表了麻粒岩相变质作用时代。结合区域资料，我们认为早古生代北祁连洋存在南北双向俯冲极性，祁连洋南向俯冲使得祁连地块前寒武纪基底在早古生代再活化。变基性岩的原岩年龄与祁连地块南部欧龙布鲁克地块（全吉地块）中发现的变基性岩和花岗质片麻岩原岩年龄及副片麻岩的变质年龄一致，均为~1100Ma，表明祁连地块与欧龙布鲁克地块一起卷入了格林威尔造山事件。     

桐柏造山带榴辉岩早古生代高压变质作用的发现

桐柏造山带是连接秦岭造山带和红安-大别造山带的枢纽,一直被认为是三叠纪变质带。本文通过对其南部高压榴辉岩带内榴辉岩和白云母石英片岩的全岩化学、锆石U-Pb年代学和Lu-Hf同位素地球化学研究,首次确定该地区的榴辉岩存在早古生代变质作用。榴辉岩主要由石榴石、绿辉石和角闪石组成,含少量多硅白云母、石英和金红石等。榴辉岩中锆石的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为452±5Ma,这些锆石具有低Th/U比值、低¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf比值,并具有平坦的HREE配分型式和无Eu负异常的特征,即为典型榴辉岩相的变质锆石。因此,452Ma代表该榴辉岩的变质时间。此外,白云母石英片岩中的锆石SIMS定年也获得450±93Ma的下交点年龄,证明白云母石英片岩与榴辉岩皆记录了早古生代的变质事件。榴辉岩的主微量元素及锆石Hf同位素特征反映榴辉岩原岩形成于板内环境,并且在侵位过程中遭到古老地壳物质的混染。结合桐柏造山带内不同岩石类型中早古生代的变质年龄,表明早古生代的变质作用在桐柏造山带内是普遍存在的。同时,桐柏造山带早古生代榴辉岩相变质事件的发现,进一步说明其经历了从古生代到中生代多阶段的构造演化。     

北秦岭宽坪岩群变质沉积岩年代学及地质意义

宽坪岩群位于北秦岭造山带,主要由广东坪岩组斜长角闪岩、四岔口岩组云母石英片岩及谢湾岩组的大理岩组成。通过LA-MC-ICPMS锆石U-Pb测年研究,宽坪岩群谢湾岩组碎屑锆石年龄为400~3502 Ma,其中最年轻一组的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄在380~418 Ma,结合黑云母⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar（370.9±2.0）Ma的变质年龄,表明谢湾岩组形成在晚泥盆世。四岔口岩组碎屑锆石年龄介于512~3598 Ma,最年轻的一组锆石²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄在512~549 Ma,其黑云母⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar变质年龄为（370.4±1.8）Ma,表明该组形成于512 Ma（早寒武世）之后,晚泥盆世之前,主体很可能形成于早古生代。宽坪岩群是由不同时代的地层和岩片构成,应该进一步解体。宽坪岩群物源来自华北陆块、秦岭造山带和扬子陆块。其变形变质时代为晚泥盆世,代表了北秦岭造山带碰撞造山的结束时代。     

江西省都昌县阳储岭钨钼矿年代学研究

江西省都昌县阳储岭钨钼矿床位于江南造山带东段,为准确厘定阳储岭钨钼矿床的成岩成矿时代,本次在详实的野外地质调查基础上,对阳储岭成矿花岗闪长斑进行锆石U-Pb定年工作,同时开展辉钼矿Re-Os同位素定年研究。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为（145.08±0.35）Ma（MSWD=0.51,n=7）;辉钼矿Re-Os模式年龄为（143.3±2.0）Ma~（145.5±2.2）Ma,等时线年龄为（145.4±1.0）Ma。阳储岭成矿花岗闪长斑岩锆石U-Pb年龄与辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄基本一致,表明阳储岭钨钼矿床成岩成矿时代约为145 Ma。辉钼矿中Re含量为16.62×10^-6~87.76×10^-6,平均值为44.68×10^-6,与壳幔混源岩浆热液矿床中Re的含量相似,指示阳储岭钨钼矿床成矿物质来源于壳幔混源。     

从P-T-t空间变化型式探析大别山北缘地质演化过程

大别山北缘主要由佛子岭群和庐镇关群组成,其处于华北和扬子板块结合处,是探究两大板块耦合过程的关键部位。相对于大别造山带高压-超高压单元的丰硕研究成果,大别山北缘相关的研究较为薄弱,迟滞了对大别造山带演化过程的深入探究。本次研究通过对佛子岭群和庐镇关群详细的野外调查、岩相学、热力学评价和年代学研究,较为详细地阐释了大别山北缘基本变质属性和演化过程。研究表明,佛子岭群主要由各类片岩和部分大理岩构成,并展现了一个巨大的宽缓的"背形"。庐镇关群主体为花岗片麻岩,少部分为斜长角闪岩和石榴黑云母二长片麻岩,其与佛子岭群呈构造并置关系。区域性的峰期变质PT条件估算显示,并结合前人资料,佛子岭群变质温压为T=524～621℃和P=0.59～0.96GPa,庐镇关群变质温压为T=575～625℃和P=0.87～0.96GPa,两者均落入中高压角闪岩相范畴。在空间分布上,自南至北,佛子岭群的温度压力显示了一个逐渐变化趋势,反映了一个由浅至深的俯冲状态型式。锆石U-Pb定年显示,庐镇关群的石榴黑云母二长片麻岩、花岗片麻岩和斜长角闪岩的原岩结晶年龄分别为756±6Ma、758±7Ma、764±6Ma,属于扬子板块北缘产物。佛子岭群的石榴二云母片岩则显示了四个峰值为2.50Ga、0.93Ga、0.85Ga和0.45Ga碎屑锆石年龄,佛子岭群具有华北、扬子板块和古生代岛弧混合物源性,并推测其为一个形成于晚古生代的独立微陆块。综合已有的变质年龄资料分析,佛子岭群记录了345～355Ma晚古生代增生造山和260～270Ma印支期碰撞造山两期事件,这意味着大别造山带可能为一个增生型和碰撞型复合造山带,且该造山带可与西侧的桐柏-红安造山带充分对应。     

吕梁地区古元古代花岗片麻岩成因及变质时代:锆石和独居石U-Pb年龄及锆石Hf同位素证据

吕梁地区在华北克拉通前寒武纪研究中具有重要位置,出露大量的古元古代变质表壳岩和花岗质岩石,对研究华北克拉通古元古代地质演化历史具有重要意义。本次研究选择吕梁地区白家滩花岗片麻岩进行锆石和独居石U-Pb年代学以及锆石Hf同位素研究,2个花岗片麻岩的岩浆锆石U-Pb年龄分别为2182±16Ma和2185±24Ma,代表了其侵位时代。独居石U-Pb年龄分别为1898±7Ma和1899±14Ma,明显比锆石增生边的谐和²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb年龄（2180~2032Ma）年轻,说明独居石对后期变质作用的响应程度比锆石强,其U-Pb年龄更能反映白家滩花岗片麻岩经历了~1900Ma的退变质作用,与华北克拉通中部造山带的变质作用时间一致。花岗片麻岩的锆石Hf同位素亏损地幔模式年龄（t_DM）为2473~2598Ma,两阶段亏损地幔模式年龄（t_DM^C）分别为2646~2839Ma,ε_Hf（t）值分布于-1.3~+1.8之间,未显示同期幔源物质的加入,而是新太古代地壳物质部分熔融的产物,结合已有的古元古代中期（2.2~2.1Ga）的岩浆岩锆石Hf同位素数据,华北克拉通新太古代地壳在2.2~2.1Ga期间发生了广泛的重熔作用,这期岩浆活动在华北克拉通吕梁、中条、五台以及胶-辽-吉等地区广泛发育,可能形成于陆内裂谷环境。     

北大别饶拔寨石榴辉石岩P-T-t轨迹及其构造意义

P-T-t轨迹作为变质岩的重要研究方法之一，对揭示岩石的构造演化过程具有重要意义。北大别饶拔寨镁铁-超镁铁岩形成的构造环境和就位过程长期以来尚存争议。本文通过岩相学观察、矿物化学研究和温压计计算，揭示出饶拔寨石榴辉石岩经历了四个变质演化阶段：1）超高压变质阶段（M1）：主要根据石榴子石中金红石的出溶，单斜辉石中石英的出溶和磷灰石中不透明矿物的出溶，结合前人研究，认为饶拔寨石榴辉石岩经历过超高压变质阶段（≥2.5GPa）；2）高压麻粒岩相阶段（M2）：矿物组合为石榴子石（变斑晶）和单斜辉石（基质）+斜长石（基质），记录的温压条件为T=648~700℃，P=1.47~1.94GPa；3）中压麻粒岩相阶段（M3）：以石榴子石外围发育的主要由斜方辉石+斜长石组成的内圈"白眼圈"为特征，形成的温压条件为T=781~796℃，P=0.92~0.98GPa；4）角闪岩相阶段（M4）：以石榴子石变斑晶周围发育的外圈"白眼圈"为特征，其矿物组合为角闪石+斜长石的后成合晶，形成的温压条件为T=663~685℃，P=0.50~0.58GPa。石榴辉石岩的锆石SIMS U-Pb定年得到了3组不同的交点年龄，分别为208.1~202.1Ma、227.6Ma和817.7Ma。根据锆石包裹体中角闪石+斜长石的组合，推断208.1~202.1Ma代表了角闪岩相变质年龄的下限，227.6Ma则是高压麻粒岩相的下限年龄，而新元古代年龄（817.7Ma）与区域上的变质岩原岩年龄一致，可能代表了其原岩年龄。结合前人研究，饶拔寨石榴辉石岩记录了顺时针的P-T-t轨迹，揭示了板片俯冲（超高压变质）-碰撞-折返（降压升温过程，~227Ma）-抬升（降压降温过程，208~202Ma）的完整过程。     

郯庐断裂带(安徽段)内磁铁石榴角闪岩的形成条件、年代学及构造归属的探究

通过对肥东群南缘特征性岩石——磁铁石榴角闪岩的构造地质学和岩相学研究表明,磁铁石榴角闪岩及其围岩以构造透镜体形式产出,该变质岩具有两个阶段变质矿物组合,热力学评价显示①阶段的温压范围为：T=616~700℃和P=0.66~0.85GPa,平均温压为T=653±35℃和P=0.75±0.09GPa。②阶段的温压范围为：T=597~643℃和P=0.51~0.94GPa,平均温压为T=620±15℃和P=0.73±0.15GPa,并表现出一个快速等压降温P-T演化特征。锆石U-Pb定年和拉曼光谱分析表明,该磁铁石榴角闪岩的变质年龄为2469±49Ma。结合地质背景和前人的研究,可以判定该类岩石可能源于华北板块。由于郯庐断裂的左旋走滑作用被构造并置与扬子板块中。从而进一步推测,郯庐断裂（安徽段）横向宽度可达到10~15km。     

粤东铁坑坳铁锡多金属矿床锆石及锡石U-Pb年代学、Nd-Hf同位素特征及其意义

铁坑坳铁锡多金属矿床位于粤东莲花山断裂带西部,矿区出露的花岗岩类主要有粗粒二长花岗岩和花岗闪长斑岩,花岗质岩石与碳酸盐岩的接触带中发育铁锡多金属矿化。该矿区的成岩成矿时代尚不明确,成矿与哪一种岩体具有成因上的联系也不清楚。文章选择与铁锡多金属矿体相关的花岗岩类的锆石和块状矿石中的锡石,首次开展LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年和Nd-Hf同位素研究。结果表明：粗粒二长花岗岩和花岗闪长斑岩的锆石U-Pb年龄分别为（132±1） Ma （n=24,MSWD=0.78）和（94±1） Ma （n=25,MSWD=1.80）;块状矿石中锡石U-Pb年龄为（130±3） Ma （n=36,MSWD=0.62）,成矿时代与粗粒二长花岗岩形成时代基本一致,均形成于早白垩世;粗粒二长花岗岩的锆石ε_Hf （t）变化于-4.9~-0.1,平均值为-2.8,地壳Hf模式年龄T_DMC=1192~1497 Ma,平均值为1366 Ma,全岩ε_Nd （t）值介于-8.8~-8.7,Nd同位素二阶段模式年龄T_DM2变化于1630~1642 Ma;花岗闪长斑岩的锆石ε_Hf （t）变化于-5.7~-2.9,平均值为-4.4,地壳Hf模式年龄T_DMC=1342~1523 Ma,平均值为1440 Ma,全岩ε_Nd （t）值介于-5.4~-4.9,Nd同位素二阶段模式年龄T_DM2变化于1291~1332 Ma。Nd-Hf同位素综合研究表明,粗粒二长花岗岩的源区物质主要来自于中元古代地壳,有少量幔源组分或新生地壳的加入,花岗闪长斑岩的源区物质中幔源组分或新生地壳的混入比例高于粗粒二长花岗岩。     

桐柏造山带深熔作用:混合岩LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb年代学证据

桐柏造山带是研究秦岭-桐柏-大别-苏鲁变质带演化的关键地区。由于桐柏高级变质杂岩深熔作用发生时间还缺乏准确的限定,这一区域的构造演化仍存在较大的争议。本文对桐柏杂岩中的一个混合岩的中色体和两个混合岩浅色体样品中的锆石进行了LA-ICPMS年代学测定。中色体中锆石分析点获得的上下交点分别为859±73Ma和135±250Ma。接近上交点的6个谐和分析点给出的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均结果为828±7Ma (MSWD=0.57)。这一年龄结果同上交点在误差范围内一致,代表混合岩原岩结晶年龄,对应扬子板块北缘出现的中-新元古代的岩浆事件。另一方面,混合岩浅色体中的新生锆石具有面状分带或是弱的振荡环带,低的Th/U比值,锆石形态学和内部结构也表明新生锆石结晶于与深熔作用有关的熔体中,它们的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均值分别为135±4Ma和131±3Ma。这一年龄范围代表桐柏高级变质地体发生深熔作用时间,区域上与桐柏-大别变质带广泛出现的碰撞后岩浆事件的时代相同。桐柏造山带出现造山后伸展的时间应不晚于135Ma。     

Palaeoecology and taxonomy of Pentoxylales from the Albian of Antarctica

Reproductive pentoxylalean material from the Albian Triton Point Formation, Fossil Bluff Group of Alexander Island, Antarctica is the youngest record of this group globally. Leaves are referred to Taeniopteris daintreei McCoy, ovulate reproductive organs to Carnoconites cranwelli Harris, and stem material to Pentoxylon sp. Occurring in leaf litter layers on palaeosol surfaces the sedimentology suggests that pentoxylalean plants grew upon areas of the floodplain distal to the river channel, where they covered the forest floor in a similar habit to modern brambles. The forest floor was shared with Equisetales and liverworts, an abundance of ferns [Cladophlebis Brongniart, Gleichenites Goeppert, Phyllopteroides Medwell, Sphenopteris (Brongniart) Sternberg], as well as angiosperms. Bennettitales, Ginkgoites Seward and Nilssonia Brongniart were rare within these communities, as were coniferous trees.     

Reconstructing the migration patterns of late Pleistocene mammals from northern Florida, USA

We used analyses of the strontium isotope (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) ratios of tooth enamel to reconstruct the migration patterns of fossil mammals collected along the Aucilla River in northern Florida. Specimens date to the late-glacial period and before the last glacial maximum (pre-LGM). Deer and tapir displayed low ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios that were similar to the ratios of Florida environments, which suggest that these taxa did not migrate long distance outside of the Florida region. Mastodons, mammoths, and equids all displayed a wide range of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios. Some individuals in each taxon displayed low ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios that suggest they ranged locally, while other animals had high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios that suggest they migrated long distances (> 150 km) outside of the Florida region. Mastodons were the only taxa from this region that provided enough well-dated specimens to compare changes in migration patterns over time. Pre-LGM mastodons displayed significantly lower ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios than late-glacial mastodons, which suggests that late-glacial mastodons from Florida migrated longer distances than their earlier counterparts. This change in movement patterns reflects temporal changes in regional vegetation patterns.     

Revision of the conchostracan genus Estherites from the Upper Cretaceous Nenjiang Formation of the Songliao Basin and its biogeographic significance in China

The diagnosis of Estherites corrugatus from the basal part of the Coniacian Second Member of the Nenjiang Formation in Nenjiang County, north-east China is revised following the application of a new preparation technique to some of the carapaces and an examination of specimens under a scanning electron microscope, both of which revealed morphological features on the carapace that had not been recognized previously. Restudy of the type species of the two subgenera Estherites (Euestherites) and Estherites (Parestherites) also revealed details of carapace features not seen hitherto. These indicate that they should be separated from Estherites. As a result, Euestherites is upgraded to genus level and Parestherites is placed in synonymy. The importance of Estherites and Euestherites is considered in the context of Late Cretaceous assemblages of these crustaceans and the three conchostracan provinces (South-West, South-East and North China) that are recognized to have been present in China during the Turonian–Santonian period.     

TOPO-OZ: Insights into the various modes of intraplate deformation in the Australian continent

As the fastest, lowest, flattest and amongst the most arid of continents, Australia preserves a unique geomorphic record of intraplate tectonic activity, evidencing at least three distinct modes of surface deformation since its rapid northward drift commenced around 43 million years ago. At long wavelengths (several 1000s km) systematic variations in the extent of Neogene marine inundation imply the continent has tilted north–down, southwest–up. At intermediate-wavelengths (several 100s km) several undulations of ~ 100–200 m amplitude have developed on the 1–10 myr timescale. At still shorter wavelengths (several 10s km), fault related motion has produced local relief at rates of up to ~ 100 m/myr over several million years. The long-wavelength, north–down tilting can be related to a dynamic topographic effect associated with Australia's northward drift from the geoid low, dynamic topography low now south of the continent to the geoid high, dynamic topography low centred above the south-east Asian and Melanesian subduction zones. The short wavelength, fault-related deformation is attributed in time to plate-wide increases in compressional stress levels as the result of distant plate boundary interactions and, in space, in part to variations in the thermal structure of the Australian lithosphere. At the intermediate wavelengths, transient, low amplitude undulations can be ascribed to either lithospheric buckling or the development of instabilities in the thermal boundary layer beneath the lithosphere. In the latter case, topographic asymmetries suggest the Australian lithosphere is moving north with respect to the mantle beneath, providing a unique attribution to the progressive alignment of seismic anisotropy and absolute plate motion observed near the base of the Australian lithosphere.     

Early Cretaceous planktonic foraminifera from the Tethys: the large, many-chambered representatives of the genus Globigerinelloides

This paper deals with the taxonomic revision of the Early Cretaceous large, many-chambered planispiral planktonic foraminifera, historically assigned to the genus Globigerinelloides or alternatively assigned in the 1990s to the genera Globigerinelloides Cushman and ten Dam, Biglobigerinella Lalicker, Blowiella Krechmar and Gorbachik and Alanlordella BouDagher-Fadel. In a previous paper we demonstrated that the morphological and microstructural features used in the literature for distinguishing Blowiella from Globigerinelloides have value only at species level, and the former genus was thus invalidated (being the junior synonym). Moreover, the Late Aptian specimens assigned to Biglobigerinella by some authors, based on the presence of twin last chamber(s), are also included in Globigerinelloides because individuals sharing the same features (number of chambers, growth rate, size of umbilicus, and a finely perforate wall) may or may not possess twin last chamber(s). Meanwhile, Moullade et al. questioned the taxonomic value of Alanlordella, erected by BouDagher-Fadel to accommodate planispiral taxa possessing a macroperforate wall. All the species analysed here possess a finely perforate wall and consequently cannot be assigned to this taxon.The large species of Globigerinelloides retained here, with six or more chambers in the outer whorl, are G. algerianus Cushman and ten Dam, G. aptiensis Longoria, G. barri (Bolli, Loeblich and Tappan) and G. ferreolensis (Moullade).In the sections studied, Globigerinelloides aptiensis was first found close to the Barremian/Aptian boundary, even though this species was recorded in Spain (Rio Argos) in the mid Upper Barremian; very rare, small, seven-chambered individuals here assigned to Globigerinelloides ferreolensis are recorded in the Lower Aptian (just below and within the Selli Level, OAE1a), while a few specimens belonging to Globigerinelloides barri occur in the Globigerinelloides ferreolensis Zone (Upper Aptian). Globigerinelloides aptiensis and G. ferreolensis range up to the Ticinella bejaouaensis Zone while Globigerinelloides barri disappears at the top of the Globigerinelloides algerianus Zone; finally, Globigerinelloides algerianus obviously spans the eponymous total range zone.From an evolutionary point of view, two lineages within the many-chambered Globigerinelloides have been recognized. In the first, already known in the literature, Globigerinelloides aptiensis gave rise to G. ferreolensis, which evolved into G. algerianus; the latter in turn gave rise to Pseudoplanomalina cheniourensis as the final evolutionary member. In the second lineage Globigerinelloides barri originated from G. blowi.     

The oldest barnacle from the Caribbean is a rudist bivalve (Maastrichtian, Jamaica)

Four new specimens of Euscalpellum? coatesi Donovan and Davis-Strickland from the Maastrichtian of Jamaica are described; two of these occur in association with the right valve of the rudistid bivalve Chiapasella radiolitiformis (Trechmann). This demonstrates that E.? coatesi is not a barnacle, but rather represents an unusual preservational state of the left valve of C. radiolitiformis retaining only the cellular inner part of the shell.     

Bird and dinosaur footprints in the Woodbine Formation (Cenomanian), Texas

The ichnofauna of the Woodbine Formation (Cenomanian), Denton County, Texas includes bird and dinosaur tracks. A new bird trackway,Magnoavipes loweiichnogen. et ichnosp. nov., appears to represent the largest bird tracks known from the Mesozoic. A theropod trackway,Fuscinapedis woodbinensisichnogen. et ichnosp. nov., is characterized by long digits of uniform width and pointed small claws. Six hadrosaurid trackways,Caririchnium protohadrosaurichnosichnosp. nov., are the oldest hadrosaurid tracks associated with skeletal elements. They include one isolated small footprint, a medium sized quadrupedal, and five large bipedal hadrosaurid trackways.     

东南极茹尔群岛超高温麻粒岩的研究进展

茹尔群岛(又称赖于尔群岛)位于东南极普里兹构造带的东部边缘,是一个由太古宙和中元古代岩石组成的复合高级变质地体。中元古代岩石是含有富Fe-Al的含石榴子石-矽线石的费拉副片麻岩组合,经历了格林维尔和泛非两期变质作用。太古宙正片麻岩是含有富Mg-Al的含假蓝宝石的超高温泥质麻粒岩组合(梅瑟副片麻岩组合),主要由经历超高温变质作用的含假蓝宝石的泥质麻粒岩、富Mg的石榴子石-矽线石泥质片麻岩、斜方辉石-矽线石石英岩、含石榴子石镁铁质麻粒岩和钙硅酸盐麻粒岩等组成。其中,含假蓝宝石泥质麻粒岩中石榴子石变斑晶和矽线石集合体(蓝晶石假象)周围分别发育峰期后由假蓝宝石+斜方辉石和假蓝宝石+堇青石后成合晶组成的典型减压结构。含石榴子石镁铁质麻粒岩中石榴子石变斑晶周围则发育峰期后由斜方辉石+斜长石后成合晶组成的典型白眼圈减压结构。不同研究者得出了具有不同超高温峰期条件、峰期前及峰期后演化历史、不同形式的顺时针变质P-T轨迹。对超高温变质事件发生的时间和构造背景的认识也存在较大分歧,有认为超高温变质事件发生于格林维尔期(~1000 Ma)并与碰撞造山和弧岩浆作用有关,也有研究认为发生于泛非期(~590 Ma或~530 Ma)并与普里兹造山及冈瓦纳大陆聚合有关。因此,为理清该区超高温麻粒岩的变质演化历史和构造背景,需要对其进一步进行详细深入的矿物组合-变质结构分析、P-T轨迹重建及高精度的锆石-独居石U-Pb年代学研究,并进行区域上对比。
