南阿尔金木纳布拉克地区长城系巴什库尔干岩群LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

采用LA-ICP-MS微区原位锆石U-Pb同位素测定技术,测得木纳布拉克地区原划长城系巴什库尔干岩群红柳泉组的二云二长片麻岩和扎斯勘赛河组二云石英片岩的原岩形成年龄分别介于498~840Ma和500~647Ma之间,表明这2种岩石原岩的形成时代均为新元古代,而不是之前认为的中元古代。另外,红柳泉组二云二长片麻岩边部锆石表现为重稀土元素相对富集型稀土配分模式,其Th/U值大部分小于0.1,为变质锆石,测得其变质时代为498±4Ma,与该地区高压麻粒岩的峰期变质时代(486±5Ma)一致,且与南阿尔金阿尔金岩群中的高压-超高压岩石的峰期变质时代一致,推断其为阿尔金俯冲碰撞引发的高压-超高压变质作用的产物,属于南阿尔金高压-超高压变质带的一部分。通过原岩残留碎屑锆石的年代学对比,发现研究区内这2种岩石及已发现的高压麻粒岩均具有与阿尔金岩群相似的锆石年龄信息,表明本区红柳泉组和扎斯勘赛河组的这3种岩石不应再划归为中元古代的长城系巴什库尔干岩群,将其归属为阿尔金岩群更为合适。     

扬子地块西南缘大红山群石榴白云母-长石石英片岩的白云母40Ar-39Ar定年及其地质意义

大红山群是扬子地块西南缘出露的古元古代结晶基底,主要经历了绿片岩相-低角闪岩相变质作用.本研究对大红山群老厂河组变质中酸性岩和变质沉积岩——石榴白云母-长石石英片岩中的白云母进行了40Ar-39Ar测年,得到三个样品的坪年龄和40Ar/39Ar等时线年龄结果较统一,坪年龄代表的变质年龄分别为837.7±4.2Ma、839.6±4.2Ma和844.2±4.2Ma.变质沉积岩和变质中酸性岩的变质时代类似,均介于837～845Ma.大红山群变质基性岩中变质锆石的U-Pb定年年龄为849±12Ma(杨红等,2012),40Ar-39Ar测年数据与锆石定年数据相结合,说明大红山群古元古代结晶基底中的火山岩和沉积岩均在新元古代经历了同期变质作用,其主期低角闪岩相变质作用发生于新元古代837～850Ma.结合前人发表的扬子西缘～750Ma的变质年龄,扬子西缘从北向南的区域变质作用时限可扩展到750 ～850Ma.此外,扬子西缘存在750～850Ma的岩浆事件,本文研究结果说明,扬子地块西缘在新元古代不仅发生了大规模岩浆作用,也发生了750～850Ma的区域变质作用,扬子西缘存在新元古代的岩浆-变质事件.岩浆事件与变质事件之间可能存在相关性,即新元古代岩浆作用引起了扬子西缘的区域动力热流变质作用.     

丹凤地区秦岭岩群片麻岩锆石U-Pb年龄:北秦岭地体中-新元古代岩浆作用和早古生代变质作用的记录

秦岭岩群被认为是出露于北秦岭地体内最古老的前寒武纪基底岩石,记录了北秦岭造山带的地壳形成和演化历史。本文报道丹凤-西峡地区五件秦岭岩群片麻岩锆石U-Pb年龄结果,限定其形成和变质时代,探讨北秦岭地体的构造归属。定年结果表明,岩浆成因锆石颗粒的年龄集中在1400～1600Ma左右和850～950Ma左右,记录两期主要岩浆活动。6粒锆石具有变质成因特征,低Th/U比值(0.03),206Pb/238U年龄变化在510～465Ma之间,加权平均值477±18Ma。这一古生代变质叠加时代与北秦岭地体南北缘高压变质作用时代基本一致,说明秦岭岩群遭受到北秦岭造山带俯冲-碰撞造山过程的变质作用。秦岭岩群主要形成于中元古代晚期至新元古代早期,基底岩石缺乏早元古代和太古代岩浆活动的记录。在岩浆作用时代上,北秦岭地体与广泛发育新元古代中-晚期岩浆作用的扬子陆块北缘有差别,也不同于晚太古代-早元古代的华北陆块南缘,可能是中-新元古代形成的独立微陆块。     

阿尔金江尕勒萨依榴辉岩和围岩锆石LA ICP MS微区原位定年及其地质意义

阿尔金江尕勒萨依榴辉岩及其直接围岩——石榴子石黑云母片麻岩锆石的阴极发光图像、微区原位LA-ICP-MS微量元素分析研究表明,榴辉岩锆石内部结构比较均匀,少数颗粒保留斑杂状残核;位于锆石斑杂状残核测点的重稀土相对富集,Th/U比值多大于0.4,为岩浆锆石的特征;位于锆石边部与内部结构均匀颗粒上的测点显示HREE近平坦型或弱亏损型的稀土配分模式,显示了与石榴石平衡共生的变质锆石特征;而石榴子石黑云母片麻岩的锆石具有核-幔-边结构,核部为碎屑锆石,幔部则为与石榴石平衡共生的变质锆石。LA-ICP-MS微区定年获得榴辉岩的变质年龄为(493±4.3)Ma,其原岩形成年龄为(754±9)Ma;石榴子石黑云母片麻岩的变质年龄为(499±27)Ma。榴辉岩的变质年龄滞后于其原岩的形成年龄约250Ma,并且榴辉岩与其直接围岩副片麻岩的变质年龄几乎完全一致,充分表明该超高压榴辉岩的形成是陆壳深俯冲作用的产物。     

塔里木克拉通北缘的前寒武纪构造热事件——新疆库尔勒铁门关高级变质岩的锆石U-Pb年代学限定

本文对位于塔里木盆地北缘库尔勒铁门关地区高级变质岩中的锆石进行了U-Pb年代学研究。研究结果表明,铁门关地区的变质岩由片麻岩、片岩、角闪岩和钙硅酸盐组成,普遍经历了角闪岩相变质作用,矿物组合为斜长石+钾长石+石英+黑云母±白云母±角闪石±石榴石。锆石U-Pb定年分析揭示出三期构造热事件:古元古代早期(~2370Ma)的岩浆事件、古元古代晚期(1890~1850Ma)的变质事件,和新元古代早期(980~910Ma)变质事件。这些结果为塔里木克拉通的前寒武纪构造演化提供了新的限定。     

塔里木盆地东南缘阿克塔什塔格地区新太古代陆壳增生:米兰岩群和TTG片麻岩的地球化学及年代学约束

塔里木盆地东南缘的阿克塔什塔格地区,保存有较为完好的早前寒武纪基底变质岩——阿克塔什塔格杂岩,主要由米兰岩群、新太古代TTG花岗片麻岩和侵入其中的各类古元古代花岗片麻岩构成。其中米兰岩群和TTG片麻岩发育塑性流变褶皱和高角闪岩相-麻粒岩相变质,具有强烈的混合岩化,并遭受后期的角闪岩相变质改造。米兰岩群中的长英质片麻岩和TTG岩系的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄分别为(2 567±32)Ma和(2 592±15)Ma,二者普遍低Si高Al、富Na贫K、富Sr贫Mg、富集LILE和LREE,亏损HSFE和HREE、轻重稀土分馏强烈、Eu异常不明显,具有类似于埃达克岩的岩石地球化学特征,表明它们形成于俯冲带的岛弧环境,为岛弧玄武岩俯冲至下地壳部分熔融的产物,指示了塔里木盆地东南缘新太古代晚期古老克拉通的大陆地壳水平增生。在此基础上,文章还探讨了塔里木盆地周缘早前寒武纪基底岩系的年代格架问题,认为塔里木盆地具有统一的早前寒武纪变质基底。     

Protolith and metamorphic ages of the Haiyangsuo Complex, eastern China: a non-UHP exotic tectonic slab in the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure terrane

Summary The Haiyangsuo Complex in the NE Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) terrane has discontinuous, coastal exposures of Late Archean gneiss with amphibolitized granulite, amphibolite, Paleoproterozoic metagabbroic intrusives, and Cretaceous granitic dikes over an area of about 15 km². The U–Pb SHRIMP dating of zircons indicates that theprotolith age of a garnet-biotite gneiss is >2500 Ma, whereas the granulite-facie metamorphism occurred at around 1800 Ma. A gabbroic intrusion was dated at ∼1730 Ma, and the formation of amphibolite-facies assemblages in both metagabbro and granulite occurred at ∼340–460 Ma. Petrologic and geochronological data indicate that these various rocks show no evidence of Triassic eclogite-facies metamorphism and Neoproterozoic protolith ages that are characteristics of Sulu-Dabie HP-UHP rocks, except Neoproterozoic inherited ages from post-collisional Jurassic granitic dikes. Haiyangsuo retrograde granulites with amphibolite-facies assemblages within the gneiss preserve relict garnet formed during granulite-facies metamorphism at ∼1.85 Ga. The Paleoproterozoic metamorphic events are almost coeval with gabbroic intrusions. The granulite-bearing gneiss unit and gabbro-dominated unit of the Haiyangsuo Complex were intruded by thin granitic dikes at about 160 Ma, which is coeval with post-collisional granitic intrusions in the Sulu terrane. We suggest that the Haiyangsuo Complex may represent a fragment of the Jiao-Liao-Ji Paleoproterozoic terrane developed at the eastern margin of the Sino-Korean basement, which was juxtaposed with the Sulu terrane prior to Jurassic granitic activity and regional deformation.     

扬子地块西南缘大红山群老厂河组变质火山岩的锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

大红山群是扬子地台西缘相对较老的地层单元,普遍经历了绿片岩相-低角闪岩相变质作用。其中部的曼岗河组、红山组已获得古元古代晚期～1.68Ga的成岩年龄,其底部的老厂河组却未有相关年龄的报道。大红山群的变质时代目前也无精确的年龄结果。本文以老厂河组厚层变质沉积岩中的薄层变质火山岩样品为研究对象,在岩相学研究的基础上,运用LA-ICP-MS方法对变质火山岩锆石进行原位U-Pb同位素定年及相关的微量、稀土元素测试,获得变质火山岩的原岩年龄和变质年龄:(1)老厂河组变质中酸性岩和变质基性岩中岩浆锆石微区的207Pb/206Pb加权平均年龄分别为1711±4Ma和1686±4Ma,限定老厂河组的形成年龄范围为1711～1686Ma;(2)变质基性岩(石榴斜长角闪岩)中变质锆石的206Pb/238U年龄为849±12Ma。本文结果表明,大红山群的形成时代可提早至1711±4Ma,又一次证明了扬子地台西缘古老结晶基底的存在;大红山群在～850Ma经历了一期新元古代变质事件,这期变质可能是与扬子地台西缘新元古代岩浆事件有关的区域变质事件。     

Discovery and Geological Significance of Neoproterozoic Metamorphic Granite in Jimo, Shandong Province, Eastern China

During the 1:50000 regional geological survey in Jimo,east Shandong Province,Paleoproterozoic metamorphic supracrustal rocks and Neoproterozoic metamorphic plutonite were newly discovered. These rocks displayed inclusions which had occurred in the Mesozoic granite,and the main lithologies are schist,granulite,marble,and granitic gneiss. Geochemical analyses suggest that Neoproterozoic metamorphic plutonite are characterized by high-K,metaluminous to weakly peraluminous. They are enriched in LILE and depleted in HFSE,with moderately enrichment of LREE,weak fractionation of LREE from HREE and negative Eu anomalies. The surface age of plutonic rocks in the survey area is 770.2±2.4 Ma,representing the age of magma crystallization,which is agreement with the the Neoproterozoic magmatic event after Rodinia supercontinent in the northern margin of Southern China continental block. In addition,the age of sporadic distribution(298 Ma and 269 Ma) is mixed zircon age,representing the rocks experienced metamorphism in Indosinian period. According to the associated mineral assemblages,and the characteristic metamorphic minerals and temperature pressure conditions,four metamorphic facies were identified,including amphibolitic,epidote amphibolite,greenschist,and mid-high pressure greenschist. Analysis of tectonic setting suggests that granitic gneiss is formed in an extensional environment and was involved from the continental margin magmatic arc to intraplate environment. Jimo is distributed in the east of Zhuwu fault,and has the same Spatial distribution location with the Weihai uplift UHP metamorphic belt rocks. The metamorphic rocks in Jimo area have similar geochemical characteristics of elements,tectonic setting and retrograde metamorphism with that in the Sulu UHP metamorphic belt. Therefore,Zhuwu fault may be the boundary fault of Sulu UHP metamorphic belt.     

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.     

内蒙古大青山地区新太古代晚期岩浆作用:来自锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年的证据

本文报道了华北克拉通西部大青山地区新太古代晚期变质深成侵入岩的锆石SHRIMP年龄。本文涉及的3个样品取自大青山的石拐南部,岩性为黑云母二长花岗质片麻岩、紫苏石英闪长质片麻岩和闪长质片麻岩。根据矿物组合,黑云母二长花岗质片麻岩和紫苏石英闪长质片麻岩遭受高角闪岩相-麻粒岩相变质,闪长质片麻岩遭受角闪岩相变质。锆石具核-幔-边或核-边结构。岩浆锆石年龄为2484±7Ma、2494±12Ma和2495±10Ma,考虑到岩石遭受后期构造热事件强烈改造,岩浆锆石发生不同程度变质重结晶,振荡环带变得模糊,年龄很可能偏年轻,岩浆锆石真实的形成年龄应更大一些,形成于新太古代晚期。2个样品记录早期变质锆石年龄为2441±7Ma和2481±10Ma;2个样品记录晚期变质锆石年龄为1847±35Ma和为1919±73Ma。结合前人工作,可得出如下结论:1)石拐地区存在新太古代晚期二长花岗岩、石英闪长岩和闪长岩等不同类型变质深成侵入岩。新太古代晚期岩浆作用在整个大青山地区很可能广泛发育,古元古代晚期孔兹岩带是在太古宙基底之上或其邻区发展起来的。2)与大青山地区其它古元古代早期以前的地质体类似,新太古代晚期变质深成侵入岩普遍遭受古元古代早期和晚期构造热事件叠加改造。     

甘肃阿克塞县安南坝地区镁铁质麻粒岩锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成:对塔里木东南缘前寒武纪地质演化的启示

甘肃阿克塞县安南坝地区镁铁质麻粒岩呈脉状或透镜状赋存于新太古代米兰岩群和TTG片麻岩中。岩石主要由斜方辉石（Opx）+单斜辉石（Cpx）+角闪石（Amp）+斜长石（Pl）+磁铁矿（Mt）等组成,具有典型中-低压麻粒岩相岩石的矿物组合特征。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果显示镁铁质麻粒岩原岩形成时代可能为2 561±29 Ma,与塔里木东南缘2.6～2.5 Ga岩浆作用时代基本一致,说明新太古代晚期是塔里木东南缘重要的陆壳增生期。此外,通过测年还获得了～1.95 Ga、～1.86 Ga两期变质年龄。其中,～1.95 Ga的峰期变质年龄是塔里木克拉通东南缘古元古代晚期强烈构造—热事件的地质记录。～1.86 Ga的变质年龄可能与该地区古元古代末期构造—岩浆事件密切相关。镁铁质麻粒锆石¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf比值均＜0.281 621,ε_Hf(t) 值为-14.08～3.12,两阶段模式年龄（T_DM2）主要集中在～2.65 Ga,指示其原岩岩浆起源于新太古代富集岩石圈地幔。     

海南岛东南部吊罗山地区中深变质岩锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

海南吊罗山地区中深变质岩由变粒岩、二长片麻岩、斜长片麻岩、黑云母麻粒岩等组成,呈孤岛状产于二叠纪花岗岩中。以往根据岩石对比,把它归属为中元古界抱板群。本次研究利用激光剥蚀等离子体质谱(LA-ICP-MS)技术对岩田南部吊罗山地区的变质岩体进行了锆石U-Pb定年,在片麻岩和变粒岩中分别获得了255±9 Ma和247±8 Ma的峰期变质年龄,表明该类岩石变质作用发生于晚二叠世-早三叠世交界之际,而不是以往所认为的中元古代。这一新发现为深入研究海南岛海西–印支期造山运动及其变质作用具有重要的地质意义。     

北秦岭高压-超高压岩石的多期变质时代及其地质意义

在岩相学观察和锆石CL图像研究的基础上,利用LA-ICP-MS原位微区定年分析方法,本文确定北秦岭清油河退变榴辉岩的峰期变质时代为490±6Ma,退变质时代为453±9Ma,原岩形成时代为655±9Ma;松树沟超高压长英质片麻岩的峰期变质时代为497±8Ma,两期退变质时代分别为448±4Ma和421±2Ma,原岩形成时代上限832±25Ma;寨根石榴石辉石岩的峰期变质时代为498±2Ma,中压麻粒岩相退变质时代为450±3Ma,角闪岩相退变质时代为426±1Ma,原岩形成时代为573±40Ma;西峡北榴闪岩的角闪岩相变质时代为423±3Ma,原岩形成时代为843±7Ma。新确定的这些岩石的峰期变质时代与前人已报导的区内高压-超高压岩石的峰期变质时代在误差范围内基本一致,结合区内高压-超高压岩石不仅分布在秦岭岩群北缘的官坡-双槐树一带,而且断续出露在秦岭岩群中部或偏南侧的清油河北-松树沟-寨根北甚至西峡北东西一线,进一步表明它们应是同一期构造地质事件的产物。北秦岭已发现的全部正变质的高压-超高压岩石均呈透镜体状分布在围岩片麻岩中,松树沟超高压长英质片麻岩的原岩为典型的陆壳沉积物,因此,这些高压-超高压岩石的形成可能都是陆壳俯冲-深俯冲作用的产物。结合岩相学观察、锆石CL图像和锆石U-Pb定年表明,这些高压-超高压岩石在～500Ma经历了峰期变质作用后,又分别在～450Ma和～420Ma遭受了中压麻粒岩相和或角闪岩相退变质作用的叠加,充分说明这些高压-超高压岩石经历了一个完整的由陆壳俯冲-深俯冲、之后连续两次抬升的构造演化过程。另外,本次研究新获得的这些岩石的原岩形成时代介于843±7Ma～573±40Ma之间,结合官坡榴辉岩的原岩形成时代为791～814Ma以及松树沟榴闪岩原岩时代为787±16Ma的研究,共同表明北秦岭高压-超高压岩石的原岩形成时代均为新元古代,因此,限定俯冲-深俯冲的陆壳物质应来自形成时代为新元古代的大陆地壳或地质体。结合区域地质背景和前人研究成果综合分析,本文初步认为,北秦岭高压-超高压变质岩带的形成是商丹洋向北俯冲拖曳南秦岭新元古代陆壳物质在～500Ma发生陆壳俯冲-深俯冲作用的产物,之后在～450Ma与～420Ma经历了两期抬升。     

A new fragment of the early earth crust: the Aasivik terrane of West Greenland

The Aasivik terrane is a ∼1500 km² complex of gneisses dominated by ∼3600 Ma components, which has been discovered in the Archaean craton of West Greenland, ∼20–50 km south of the Paleoproterozoic Nagssugtoqidian orogen. The Aasivik terrain comprises granulite facies tonalitic to granitic gneisses with bands of mafic granulite, which include disrupted mafic dykes. Four gneiss samples of the Aasivik terrain have given imprecise SHRIMP U–Pb zircon ages of 3550–3780 Ma with strong loss of radiogenic lead and new growth of zircon probably associated with a granulite facies metamorphic event(s) at ∼2800–2700 Ma. To the Southeast, the Aasivik terrane is in tectonic contact with a late Archaean complex of granitic and metapelitic gneisses with apparently randomly distributed mafic and ultramafic units, here named the Ukaleq gneiss complex. Two granitic samples from the Ukaleq gneiss complex have U–Pb zircon ages of 2817 ± 10 and 2820 ± 12 Ma and t_zircon ε_Nd values of 2.3–5.4. Given their composition and positive ε_Nd values, they probably represent melts of only slightly older juvenile crust. A reconnaissance SHRIMP U–Pb study of a sample of metasedimentary rock from the Ukaleq gneiss complex found ∼2750–2900 Ma zircons of probable detrital origin and that two or more generations of 2700–2500 Ma metamorphic zircons are present. This gneiss complex is provisionally interpreted as a late Archaean accretionary wedge. A sample of banded granulite facies gneiss from a complex of banded gneisses south of the Aasivik terrain here named the Tasersiaq gneiss complex has yielded two zircon populations of 3212 ± 11 and 3127 ± 12 Ma. Contacts between the three gneiss complexes are mylonites which are locally cut by late-post-kinematic granite veins with SHRIMP U–Pb zircon ages of ∼2700 Ma. The isotopic character and the relationships between the lithologies from the different gneiss complexes suggest the assembly of unrelated rocks along shear zones between 2800 and 2700 Ma. The collage of Archaean gneiss complexes were intruded by A-type granites, here named the Umiatsiaasat granites, at ∼2700 Ma, later than the tectonic intercalation of the gneiss complexes.     

东南极Windmill群岛与罗迪尼亚超大陆聚合相关构造热事件的时代:来自Bailey半岛镁铁质片麻岩和淡色片麻岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄的约束

东南极Windmill群岛变质杂岩经历的变质和岩浆事件与西澳大利亚Albany-Fraser造山带在时间上相对应,并可能与罗迪尼亚超大陆的拼合有关。Windmill群岛Bailey半岛的镁铁质片麻岩(角闪石-单斜辉石-斜方辉石-黑云母-斜长石-石英-磁铁矿-锆石)被认为具有较早的形成年龄,其中还出露属于正片麻岩的淡色片麻岩(斜长石-钾长石-石英-黑云母-锆石)。对这两种片麻岩中的锆石分别进行了SHRIMP U-Pb年龄测定,首次获得该区镁铁质片麻岩锆石核部207Pb/206Pb加权平均年龄1403±28 Ma,该年龄记录了本区中元古代早期岩浆事件,这是Windmill群岛地区记录的最早一期岩浆事件,可能受到了东部莫森大陆(Mawson Continent)构造岩浆活动的影响。铁镁质片麻岩锆石增生边的年龄为1318±34 Ma,则记录了早期构造热事件。淡色片麻岩中锆石核部年龄为1257±51 Ma,与Bailey半岛的片麻状含石榴子石花岗岩侵位年龄一致,共同记录了该区的一期岩浆活动。淡色片麻岩中锆石增生边的年龄为1197±26 Ma,记录了晚期的变质事件。这些新的年龄数据强烈支持1375~1151 Ma期间东南极Windmill群岛与西澳大利亚Albany-Fraser造山带相连接的构造模型,同时也为罗迪尼亚超大陆拼合过程提供了重要的年代学约束。      

Zircon U‐Pb/Lu‐Hf and monazite chemical dating of the Tirodi biotite gneiss: implication for latest Palaeoproterozoic to Early Mesoproterozoic orogenesis in the Central Indian Tectonic Zone

In this investigation, we reconstruct the latest Palaeoproterozoic to Early Mesoproterozoic orogenic events along the southern margin of the Central Indian Tectonic Zone (CITZ), using sensitive high resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U‐Pb zircon dating and Lu‐Hf isotope analyses of zircon and Th‐U‐Pb chemical dating of monazite from samples of the Tirodi biotite gneiss (TBG) unit in the Sausar Mobile Belt (SMB), the latter constituting the southernmost litho‐tectonic component of the CITZ. U‐Pb zircon dating of one migmatitic gneiss sample from the type locality of the Tirodi biotite gneiss in the northern domain of the SMB has yielded an age of 1618 ± 8 Ma, which is considered to be the time of magmatic crystallization of its protolith. Combined U‐Pb zircon and monazite chemical dating of two granite gneiss samples from the southern domain of the SMB broadly constrain magmatic crystallization between 1603 ± 23 Ma and 1584 ± 17 Ma and an overprinting metamorphic recrystallization event at 1572 ± 7 Ma. Monazites from the granite gneiss samples also record a terminal metamorphic event at 1415 ± 23 Ma. Lu‐Hf isotopic analyses of zircons reveal fundamentally different source rock reservoirs for the protoliths of these magmatic rocks across the SMB. While the type TBG from the northern domain was derived from an Early Palaeoproterozoic source T(Hf) from 2093 to 2523 Ma, with a mean value at 2379 Ma) of essentially juvenile material with minor crustal components (εHf(t) from −3.3 to + 3.7), the granite from the southern domain had a mature crustal source (εHf(t) from −12.5 to −21.9) of Palaeoarchaean age T(Hf) from 3051 to 3630 Ma, with a mean value at 3218 Ma). When integrated with metamorphic information previously obtained from the 1.6 Ga ultra‐high temperature granulite facies metamorphic event in the SMB, the discrete magmatic and metamorphic events between 1.62/1.60 Ga and 1.42 Ga can be correlated with the formation of an Early Mesoproterozoic accretionary orogen in the CITZ.

阿拉善地区新元古代岩浆事件及其地质意义

在阿拉善西部地区分布有一些眼球状片麻岩和条带状片麻岩,以往将它们作为阿拉善群的地层对待。本文研究表明它们是受到变形改造的正片麻岩。通过锆石LA-ICPMSU-Pb分析,4个样品分别获得了913±7Ma、921±7Ma、926±15Ma和904±7Ma的年龄结果。新元古代早期变形花岗岩的发现表明,阿拉善地区经历了新元古代早期(格林威尔期)造山作用的强烈改造,它们可能与祁连地块等相似,应属于不同于华北克拉通的独立的变质地块。     

朝鲜平南盆地古元古界-下古生界沉积岩碎屑锆石年龄谱对比及意义

中朝古陆(华北古陆)平南盆地面积~25000km~2,位于朝鲜半岛中部,发育从中元古界到下古生界地层,但经历了低级变质作用(绿片岩相及以下)。变质基底岩石中有一套角闪岩相-麻粒岩相的变质的古元古界地层。本文根据盆地不同时代沉积岩碎屑锆石/变质锆石U-Pb LA-ICP MS年龄数据讨论沉积源区的变化,并对区域演化进行制约。甑山群/杂岩为盆地基底岩系,变质砂岩样品中碎屑锆石出现ca.2500~2100Ma的年龄峰值。另外,36.5亿年的碎屑锆石是朝鲜迄今发现的最古老碎屑锆石;夕线榴片麻岩样品记录了~1850Ma(1859±9Ma)的变质年龄;推测甑山群沉积于ca.2100~1900Ma,变质于1850 Ma。黄海群局限分布于朝鲜半岛中部,碎屑锆石年龄谱显示~1850 Ma的峰值,可见~1250 Ma的年龄,推测对应物源为古元古代基底岩浆岩和变质岩系;结合其上覆直岘群的沉积时代,推测地层沉积于ca.1250~1000Ma。直岘群是平南盆地分布最广的地层之一,底部长峰组样品显示明显的~1850Ma的峰值,而其上第二个和第三个组则显示明显的ca.1400~1600Ma和ca.1000~1200 Ma年龄峰值,~1850 Ma年龄很少;推测直岘群开始沉积时,物源主体是盆地基底岩系,但之后出现大量中元古代物质;推测其沉积时代为ca.1000~900Ma。黄州群有~1850Ma和~2500Ma的峰值,另外,还有较少的ca.1000~1200Ma及1400~1600 Ma年龄,表明沉积物源主体仍是基底岩系,可能有中新元古代沉积岩(黄州群-直岘群)的再沉积。这些沉积岩碎屑锆石年龄峰值与辽东和山东半岛沉积地层相似,并且中新元古代地层中均有大量1000~1200Ma及1400~1600Ma的物质,推测可能来自华北古陆之外,如圣弗朗西斯科克拉通。     

赣东北婺源-德兴地区新元古代浅变质火山岩的地球化学和锆石U-Pb年龄

赣东北婺源-德兴地区新元古代地层中浅变质火山岩主要由变质玄武岩、英安岩和流纹岩组成.全岩地球化学分析表明浅变质玄武岩具有拉斑玄武岩的地球化学特征,起源于尖晶石辉橄岩低度部分熔融,英安岩岩浆起源于壳源杂砂岩部分熔融,流纹岩可能为英安质岩浆结晶分异的产物.LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年揭示婺源浅变质英安岩形成于861±8Ma,德兴张村西浅变质流纹岩形成于860±3Ma,铜厂铜矿矿区凝灰质板岩形成于860±6Ma,均为早新元古代Tonian期.同时这些定年样品中保存了2.8 ～2.5Ga、2.0～1.7Ga和～1.0Ga的继承或捕获锆石记录.结合浅变质玄武岩和英安质火山岩的地球化学特征和成因,这套岩石最有可能形成于新元古代早期安第斯型活动大陆边缘弧后盆地构造背景.
