内蒙古狼山地区早石炭世角闪辉长岩、花岗闪长岩的岩石成因及构造意义

内蒙古狼山山脉西侧分布有大面积的晚古生代岩浆岩,时代集中在早石炭世—晚二叠世,早石炭世角闪辉长岩、花岗闪长岩体出露于潮格温都尔镇西侧。角闪辉长岩体呈岩滴状产出,被花岗闪长岩体侵入,LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄显示,角闪辉长岩的~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄为329.0±2.3 Ma,花岗闪长岩的~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄为331.1±0.9 Ma~330.0±4.2 Ma。花岗闪长岩暗色矿物以角闪石为主,富钠(Na2O=3.48%~4.46%),高钠钾比值(Na2O/K2O=1.03~2.39),钙碱性系列,P2O5-SiO_2之间存在较好的负相关性,岩石地球化学特征具Ⅰ型花岗岩的特点。Hf同位素及元素地球化学特征指示了角闪辉长岩及花岗闪长岩均来自于受地壳混染的亏损地幔,为同源岩浆演化的产物。角闪辉长岩及花岗闪长岩稀土元素配分型式一致,均为轻稀土元素富集,重稀土元素亏损,具弱的负Eu异常;角闪辉长岩富集Ba、Sr,亏损Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf;花岗闪长岩富集大离子亲石元素Rb、K、Pb、Sr,不同程度地亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti,总体反映了岩浆弧的地球化学特征。结合区域地质背景,早石炭世狼山地区侵入岩岩石组合为角闪辉长岩(闪长岩)+石英闪长岩+花岗闪长岩,认为狼山地区早石炭世处于大陆边缘弧构造背景。     

阿拉善地块北大山地区两类辉长岩的锆石U-Pb定年、Hf同位素及地球化学特征——对中亚造山带构造演化的启示

作为中亚造山带的重要组成,阿拉善地块北缘已成为研究古亚洲洋构造演化历史的关键地区。本次工作对阿拉善地块北大山地区两类辉长岩进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年,获得成岩年龄分别为293±2Ma和267±2Ma,为早、中二叠世。早二叠世辉长岩为堆晶岩,呈亚碱性,拉斑玄武质,高Mg#值(64)、Eu显著正异常、极低的REE、富集大离子亲石元素(Ba、K、Sr),亏损高场强元素(Th、Nb、Ta、Hf、Zr),锆石的εHf(t)平均值为0.91,以上特征显示其岩浆源区为受俯冲板片混染或交代的岩石圈地幔,形成于俯冲相关的挤压环境;中二叠世辉长岩呈碱性、富集大离子亲石元素(Ba、K)和稀土元素,但Nb、Ta等高场强元素亏损不明显,锆石的εHf(t)平均值为3.5,显示其岩浆源区为受陆壳混染的亏损地幔,形成于大陆板内拉张环境。综合本文及前人研究成果,认为阿拉善地块北缘存在一条西起龙首山,东到狼山的晚古生代(328~262 Ma)超基性—基性岩浆带,其形成与古亚洲洋的俯冲—闭合—造山后伸展过程相关。在晚石炭世—早二叠世晚期,阿拉善地块北缘为大洋俯冲环境,到早二叠世晚期—中二叠世进入大陆板内拉张环境,限定了古亚洲洋在阿拉善地块北缘的最终闭合时代为早二叠世晚期—中二叠世。     

西天山特克斯晚古生代辉长岩岩石地球化学

西天山特克斯县东北部的哈拉达拉岩体是西天山出露规模最大的层状基性-超基性侵入岩体,主要由橄长岩、橄榄辉长岩、角闪辉长岩和辉长岩组成。本文获得该辉长质岩体锆石SIMSU-Pb年龄为306.2±2.7Ma,属于晚石炭世。该岩体SiO2含量范围为44.49%～48.46%,K2O、Na2O含量低,Mg、Fe含量较高,Mg#平均值达71.4。岩体具有拉斑玄武岩系列特征,且有从低钾拉斑系列向钙碱性系列和高钾钙碱性系列演化的趋势。部分样品的MgO、Al2O3和CaO含量偏高,可能为橄榄石和斜长石的堆晶所致。岩体明显富集Rb、Ba、K、Pb、Sr等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素,La/Nb比值大于1.4,与流体交代地幔楔熔融的弧火成岩浆特征类似。岩体具有Th负异常,暗示岩浆活动过程中可能混染了下地壳成分。岩体稀土元素总量较低,轻、重稀土元素分异较弱,由于斜长石堆晶作用,部分样品具有明显的正Eu异常。区域构造演化和岩石学资料等显示西天山在晚石炭世—早二叠世大地构造格架演化发生了转变,特克斯地区处于俯冲碰撞阶段向碰撞后伸展阶段变化的过渡环境中,特克斯晚古生代辉长岩体很可能是在这种构造体制的转变过程中形成的,指示了西天山大地构造演化从弧环境下的挤压碰撞到陆内伸展环境的转变。     

巴里坤塔格晚古生代侵入岩岩石地球化学与Sr-Nd-Pb同位素特征

巴里坤塔格地区晚石炭世—早二叠世侵入岩主要包括闪长岩、花岗闪长岩、花岗岩和辉绿岩,相互呈侵入接触关系,形成时代在误差范围内一致。在地球化学上,均属过铝质钙碱性和高钾钙碱性系列,富集轻稀土元素、大离子亲石元素以及不相容元素,亏损高场强元素,显示火山弧花岗岩的特征,低Sr、低Pb、高Nd的同位素组成特征表明该区侵入岩起源于亏损地幔。通过对综合区域地质演化分析,认为巴里坤塔格地区在晚石炭世—早二叠世为后碰撞拉张环境,其侵入岩的岛弧特征可能是由于岩浆源区受过早期俯冲作用的影响。TDM=1 076~806 Ma,指示中酸性侵入岩类的来源可能是古亚洲洋俯冲形成的新生陆壳,该陆壳起源于亏损地幔。因此,认为晚石炭世—早二叠世晚期巴里坤塔格与邻区博格达、哈尔里克地区自晚石炭世全面进入板内构造演化阶段。     

内蒙古狼山地区早二叠世花岗闪长岩的年代学、地球化学特征及其构造背景

内蒙古狼山山脉西侧分布有大面积的晚古生代岩浆岩,其时代集中在早石炭世—晚二叠世,不同时代岩浆岩岩石组合对于认识狼山地区晚古生代构造背景具有重要的意义。文章通过岩石学、岩相学、地球化学及Hf同位素等方法,对狼山地区查干乃呼都格一带花岗闪长岩体进行了研究。该岩体岩性为花岗闪长岩,LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄显示,其206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为(299±1)～(293±2) Ma。岩石暗色矿物为角闪石及黑云母,富含闪长质包体,P_2O_5含量与SiO_2含量之间显示良好的负相关性,富钠(Na_2O含量为3.45%～4.96%),高钠钾比值(Na_2O/K_2O比值为1.33～2.52),岩石地球化学特征显示花岗岩成因类型为Ⅰ型花岗岩。岩石具有负的ε_(Hf)(t)值(-6.3～-2.0)及T_(DM2)为1437～1704 Ma(平均值为1606 Ma),显示了古—中元古代古老地壳熔融的特点,ε_(Hf)(t)-t及角闪石成因图解显示源区有幔源岩浆参与。花岗岩富集大离子亲石元素Rb、K、Pb,不同程度的亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti,轻稀土富集,重稀土亏损,弱的负Eu异常,显示了岩浆弧的地球化学特征。结合晚石炭世—早二叠世狼山地区侵入岩岩石组合为闪长岩+石英闪长岩+花岗闪长岩(英云闪长岩),早—中二叠世大石寨组火山岩岩石组合为玄武岩+玄武安山岩+安山岩+英安岩,总体反映了陆缘弧的岩石组合;狼山地区早二叠世处于大陆边缘弧的构造背景,与华北地块北缘中东部可以对比。

青海玉树地区出露一套晚古生代—早中生代的蛇绿混杂岩。其中,让娘贡巴辉长岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为258.4±2.9 Ma,表明该岩石形成于晚二叠世。地球化学特征表明,岩石具有富碱,高TiO2、Fe2O3的主量元素特征,稀土元素总量相对较高,富集轻稀土元素,(La/Yb)N=5.09~5.52,与原始地幔相比,富集大离子亲石元素(Rb、Ba、Th、K)及高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf)。综合研究表明,让娘贡巴辉长岩的形成环境为洋岛,这足以表明,至少在晚二叠世时,玉树地区已经存在洋壳。     

内蒙古狼山地区早石炭世石英闪长岩U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其对古亚洲洋俯冲的指示

内蒙古狼山山脉西侧分布大面积的晚古生代岩浆岩,时代集中在早石炭世—晚二叠世,早石炭世石英闪长岩体出露于潮格温都尔镇西侧。该岩体岩性为石英闪长岩,LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄显示,石英闪长岩的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值为337.4±6.6 Ma。岩石暗色矿物以角闪石为主,黑云母次之,富铁,富钠,高钠钾比值,为钙碱性系列;富集大离子亲石元素Rb、K、Pb,不同程度的亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti的特点,稀土元素配分型式为轻稀土元素富集,重稀土元素亏损,弱的负Eu异常,总体反映岩浆弧的地球化学特征。构造环境判别图显示样品点落在大陆边缘弧范围,岩石地球化学特征表明狼山地区早石炭世处于大陆边缘弧构造背景,古亚洲洋石炭纪存在向南俯冲。对比北部造山带西乌旗地区的早石炭世石英闪长岩,两者地球化学特征基本相同。因此,早石炭世古亚洲洋发生了双向俯冲,形成了以石英闪长岩为主的岩石类型。     

兴蒙造山带中段北部晚古生代两期岩浆活动及其构造意义

兴蒙造山带位于中亚造山带东段,长期以来是地质学家研究的焦点区域。内蒙古巴彦乌拉地区位于兴蒙造山带中段北部苏尼特左旗以北,广泛出露晚古生代宝力格组火山—沉积地层和酸性侵入岩体。本文对阿尔善宝拉格附近的宝力格组中性火山岩和侵入其中的花岗斑岩岩墙,及巴彦乌拉苏木南部花岗闪长岩进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年,定年结果显示,宝力格组火山岩年龄为310.5±0.78 Ma,与巴彦乌拉苏木北部地区火山岩年龄(307.1±6.3Ma,308.9±1.8Ma)一致,证明本区宝力格组地层形成于晚石炭世;花岗闪长岩和花岗斑岩岩墙年龄分别为312.5±0.75 Ma和286.6±0.75 Ma,形成时代分别为晚石炭世和早二叠世;通过区域对比分析认为,兴蒙造山带北部晚古生代存在晚石炭世和早二叠世两期重要的岩浆活动,统计获得峰值年龄分别为318Ma和281Ma。岩石地球化学特征显示,本区晚石炭世宝力格组火山岩具有由低钾拉斑向钙碱性、碱性系列过渡的特征,并以钙碱性和碱性系列为主;早二叠世花岗斑岩为A型花岗岩,具有与邻区锡林浩特及巴彦乌拉—东乌珠穆沁旗带内A型花岗岩类似的地球化学特征;在花岗岩构造判别图中,花岗斑岩落入后造山区域,晚石炭世到早二叠世期间岩浆的形成环境向后造山环境逐渐演化,同时在SiO2和Na2O对K2O相关图解中,K2O含量具有增高变化的趋势,暗示构造环境有向更加稳定的板内环境演变的特征。因此,结合前人地质资料,兴蒙造山带北部晚古生代大量火山岩浆活动可能与二连—贺根山蛇绿混杂带形成有关,晚石炭世时期研究区处于后造山阶段,随着早二叠世大量A型花岗岩、碱性岩浆和双峰式火山岩的形成,该区进入造山后期更广泛的伸展环境。     

云南景谷半坡铂钯多金属矿床辉长岩锆石U-Pb同位素定年及其意义

提要：景谷半坡铂钯多金属矿床位于澜沧江南段兰坪—思茅陆块,成矿主要与半坡杂岩体有关。半坡杂岩体由橄榄岩、辉石岩、辉长岩、辉长闪长岩和闪长岩等镁铁-超镁铁质岩组成。通过LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素年代学方法获得半坡杂岩体中辉长岩结晶年龄为(302.6±2.0)Ma,说明半坡杂岩体形成时代为晚石炭世。岩体中辉长岩属高铝质基性岩类,轻稀土元素相对于重稀土元素弱富集,富集大离子亲石元素(Rb、Sr、K、Ba)、亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf),具有岛弧岩浆岩性质,表明半坡杂岩体形成与板块俯冲有关的岛弧环境,南澜沧江构造带在晚石炭世至早二叠世为大洋岛弧俯冲带。     

塔里木西北缘三叠纪伸展作用:来自柯坪辉绿岩地球化学、锆石U‐Pb年代学的证据

为了探讨塔里木北缘构造岩浆演化,采用锆石年代学、岩石地球化学方法对柯坪辉绿岩进行研究。LA‐ICP‐MS锆石U‐Pb结果表明其为中‐晚三叠世岩浆活动的产物。辉绿岩SiO2含量为45.68%~46.97%、TiO2为3.98%~4.03%、Al2O3为14.81%~14.90%、K2O/Na2O为0.39~0.42,属于高钾碱性系列。微量元素特征表明,有微弱的Ce负异常(δCe=0.95~0.99),Eu异常不明显(δEu=0.98~1.00),总体富集大离子亲石元素和LREE,高场强元素相对亏损。柯坪辉绿岩、阿图什辉绿岩与柯坪玄武岩、巴楚辉绿岩等具有相似的源区和一致的构造背景,均为拉张背景下形成,但却分属不同的构造事件。研究表明早石炭世南天山洋闭合,晚石炭世—早二叠世柯坪地区为塔里木北缘的具有前陆盆地性质的残留海盆,受地幔柱影响柯坪—巴楚地区出现大规模岩浆活动。二叠纪之后塔里木北缘为后碰撞伸展背景。三叠纪南天山—塔里木北缘为拉伸走滑的构造背景,本文的辉绿岩,正是在这种背景下形成的。     

Mineralogy, geochemistry, and origin of felsic dike swarms in Aqaba complex (Wadi Al-Yutum), South Jordan

The present work deals with the geologic setting and mineralogical and geochemical study of Late Precambrian magmatic rocks especially the felsic dike swarms of northeast Aqaba complex in South Jordan. The northeast Aqaba complex represents one of the most significant regions in the South Jordan basement. The basement rocks in the studied region are composed of schists, gneisses, migmatites, met gabbros, diorite, and granite. It is invaded by post-orogenic dike swarms. The post-orogenic dike swarms have been recognized as felsic dikes of dacite, rhyodacite, and rhyolite composition. They are composed of plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz, biotite, and hornblenble with a porphyritic texture. Chemically, they are enriched in compatible elements especially in the large ion lithophile elements such as K, Rb, and Ba. The values of A/NK are more than A/CNK, indicating that dacitic dike swarms have metaluminous nature. Meanwhile, the values of A/NK are less than A/CNK in rhyodacitic and rhyolitic dike swarms of prealuminous nature. This felsic dike can be related to an intercontinental setting that was accompanied by a chemical evolution of the extensional movements and is formed by partial melting of crustal rocks, which are already known from other areas in the northeast portion of the Arabian-Nubian Shield.     

Permian Tectonic Evolution in Southwestern Khanka Massif: Evidence from Zircon U‐Pb Chronology,Hf isotope and Geochemistry of Gabbro and Diorite

Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) zircon U-Pb dating and geochemical data for the Permian gabbros and diorites in the Hunchun area are presented to constrain the regional tectonic evolution in the study area. Zircons from gabbro and diorite are euhedral-subhedral in shape and display fine-scale oscillatory zoning as well as high Th/U ratios (0.26–1.22), implying their magmatic origin. The dating results indicate that the gabbro and diorite formed in the Early Permian (282±2 Ma) and in the Late Permian (255±3 Ma), respectively. In addition, the captured zircons with the weighted mean age of 279±4 Ma are also found in the diorite, consistent with the formation age of the gabbro within uncertainty. The gabbros belong chemically to low-K tholeiitic series, and are characterized by low rare earth element (REE) abundances, flat REE pattern, weak positive Eu anomalies (δEu), and depletion in high field strength elements (HFSEs, Nb, Ta, and Ti), similar to the high-aluminum basalts from island arc setting. Initial Hf isotopic ratios of zircons from the gabbro range from +7.63 to +14.6, suggesting that its primary magma could be mainly derived from partial melting of a depleted lithospheric mantle. The diorites belong to middle K calc-alkaline series. Compared with the gabbros, the diorites have higher REE abundance, weak negative Eu anomalies, and more depletion in HFSEs (Nb, Ta, and Ti), similar chemically to the volcanic rocks from an active continental margin setting. Initial Hf isotopic ratios and Hf two-stage model ages of zircons from the diorite range from +11.22 to +14.17 and from 424 to 692 Ma, respectively, suggesting that its primary magma could be mainly derived from partial melting of the Early Paleozoic and/or Neoproterozoic accretted lower crust. Taken together, it is suggested that geochemical variations from the Early Permian gabbros to the Late Permian diorites reveal that the subduction of the Paleo-Asian oceanic plate beneath the Khanka Massif and collision between the arc and continent (Khanka Massif) happened in the late stage of the Late Paleozoic.     

Petrology,geochemistry, and geochronology of the Zhonggang ocean island,northern Tibet: implications for the evolution of the Banggongco–Nujiang oceanic arm of the Neo-Tethys

This study presents new data relating to the tectonic evolution of the Zhonggang ocean island, within the Mesozoic Banggongco–Nujiang suture zone of northern Tibet, and discusses the implications of these data for the evolution of this region. Thirteen basalt and ten gabbro samples were collected from a sampling transect through this area; these samples have light rare earth element (LREE)-enriched chondrite-normalized REE patterns, and are enriched in highly incompatible elements, yielding primitive-mantle-normalized trace-element variation patterns that are similar to ocean island basalts (OIB). A gabbro dike intruded into basalt of the Zhonggang ocean island and was overlain by basaltic conglomerate, suggesting that this dike was formed after the basalt, but before the basaltic conglomerate. The gabbro dike yields an LA–ICP–MS zircon U–Pb age of 116.2 ± 4.1 Ma, indicating the timing of formation of the Zhonggang ocean island, and suggesting in turn that the Banggongco–Nujiang Neo-Tethys Ocean remained open at this time. These data, combined with the geological history of the region, indicates that the Banggongco–Nujiang Neo-Tethys Ocean opened between the late Permian and the Early Triassic, expanded rapidly between Late Triassic and Middle Jurassic time, and finally closed between the late Early and early Late Cretaceous.     

阿尔金山北缘冰沟蛇绿混杂岩中辉长岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年及其地质意义

冰沟蛇绿混杂岩是阿尔金山红柳沟蛇绿混杂岩带的东段部分,岩石组合包括蛇纹岩、方辉橄榄岩、辉石岩和辉长岩等。蛇纹岩具高Mg,Mg/Fe值大于9,低Al、Ca、Na、K为特征,从稀土元素和微量元素特征来看,基性辉长岩和洋壳以及洋中脊玄武岩极为相似,而超基性岩与原始地幔较为接近。辉长岩获得锆石SHRIMP年龄为449.5±10.9Ma。蛇绿混杂岩的围岩为一套巨厚的碎屑岩、火山碎屑岩、火山岩,以及部分碳酸盐岩构成,其中含有具有洋中脊特征的枕状构造玄武岩,以及放射虫硅质岩,放射虫时代为奥陶纪中晚期,与辉长岩的SHRIMP年龄一致。这些证据进一步证实了红柳沟一带存在早古生代洋盆的地质事实。     

Late Paleozoic tectonic -magmatic evolution history of the northeastern ChinaSCIEI北大核心CSCD

Northeastern China is suited in the eastern part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, and it is mainly composed of Erguna Massif, Xing'an Massif, Songnen-Zhangguangcai Range Massif, Jiamusi Massif, and Nadanhada Terrane. The Late Paleozoic magmatism was relatively intense accompanied with multiple stages of amalgamation in several microcontinents, therefore these magmatic products are an important media in recording the Late Paleozoic tectonic evolution history of the northeastern China. According to the petrological, geochronological, and geochemical characteristics of Late Paleozoic igneous rocks in the northeastern China, we found that the Late Paleozoic magmatism was based on Carboniferous -Permian igneous rocks. The Early Carboniferous magmatic products are gabbro, diorite and granite, the Late Carboniferous magmatic products are mainly composed of granitoids with minor gabbro, and the Permian magmatic products are mainly granitoids. Meanwhile, these Late Paleozoic igneous rocks mostly exhibit typical arc characteristics. In addition, the Late Paleozoic igneous rocks in eastern Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces are mainly Permian granitoids with minor gabbro, and these Permian igneous rocks show typical arc characteristics. Combined with petrological, geochronological, geochemical and isotopic characteristics, we suggest that the Late Paleozoic igneous rocks in the Great Xing'an Range and eastern Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces underwent different magmatic evolution history, and the microcontinents in NE China had different crustal growth history.     

班公湖中特提斯洋向南俯冲的时限:来自SSZ型辉长岩的制约

班公湖-怒江中特提斯洋的俯冲极性和俯冲时间一直存在争议。作者通过野外地质调查、岩相学、锆石U-Pb年代学及岩石地球化学研究,从西藏班公湖蛇绿混杂岩带中识别出一套早白垩世SSZ型蛇绿岩,岩石组合上主要由辉长岩和玄武岩组成,还有少量的硅质岩和超基性岩。本文对辉长岩进行了全岩主、微量元素地球化学及LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究。地球化学组成特征显示,辉长岩富集轻稀土元素,重稀土元素平坦,相对富集大离子亲石元素,高场强元素存在一定亏损;Th/Ta比值与岛弧玄武岩相似(Th/Ta1.6),Ta/Hf比值较高(0.1),显示其既保留了俯冲环境的地球化学特征,也提供了伸展构造环境的信息。辉长岩中锆石U-Pb加权平均年龄为129.2±0.4 Ma(MSWD=0.36),该年龄是班公湖-怒江缝合带中迄今报道的最年轻蛇绿岩年龄。结合区域地质背景,认为这套蛇绿岩形成于班公湖-怒江古洋盆西段向南俯冲形成的弧前盆地,而班公湖-怒江古洋盆北向俯冲可能始于早侏罗世,晚侏罗世形成双向俯冲格局,直到早白垩世洋盆关闭,晚白垩世进入陆内构造环境。     

Dike swarms and related igneous complexes in the Urals

The dike swarms of the entire Urals are classified for the first time; the related igneous complexes associated with them in space and time are named. The following types and chronological levels of the Uralian dikes are distinguished (proper names are given after type localities). The epicontinental type comprises the Middle Riphean Mashak, Late Riphean Arsha-Serebryanka, Late Cambrian-Early Ordovician Kidryasovo-Lemva, Ordovician-Silurian Ushat, Devoninan Inzer-Timaiz (the most extended of all), Early Carboniferous Magnitogorsk-Mugodzhary, and Triassic Borisovo dike swarms. Many of them are probably related to plume events. The existence of the Early Riphean dike complex remains unclear. Oceanic (spreading or suprasubduction) dike-in-dike type: Ordovician Man’ya oceanic type, Devonian Aktogai backarc and Khabarny suprasubduction types. The igneous complexes associated with dike swarms are rather diverse. In addition to rhyolite dikes, in many cases determining the contrasting character of magmatism, large comagmatic gabbro and gabbro-granite intrusions are noted, as well as minor intrusions of subalkali granitoids, syenites, and, apparently, carbonatites and kimberlites. Flood basalt fields are noted at the periphery of the Urals, implying the occurrence of a feeding dike swarm beneath them.     

陕西紫阳辉长岩锆石U-Pb年龄及微量元素地球化学特征

陕西安康的瓦房店、紫阳、岚皋、镇坪和湖北竹溪一带的早古生代地层中广泛出露具双峰式岩浆岩组合的岩墙群。本文通过紫阳高滩辉长岩锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究,获得其侵位年龄为410±4.5 Ma。高滩辉长岩具有类似OIB的稀土元素和微量元素分配特征,Th/Nb比值小于0.11,Nb/Zr大于0.15,显示其形成于与地幔柱活动相关的富集地幔源区。Nb/U、Ce/Pb比值及U、Th、Pb和Ni含量特征显示岩浆演化早期经历橄榄石和辉石的弱分离结晶作用,岩浆上升过程中几乎未受到地壳物质混染作用。高滩辉长岩年代学、微量元素地球化学特征及区域地质特征表明,早古生代晚期扬子陆块北缘地幔柱作用使得该区软流圈地幔上涌,导致扬子板块北缘陆内裂解,引发紫阳、岚皋一带早古生代晚期的基性岩浆作用。由于地幔深部热动力条件制约,这次大陆裂解事件未能持续。高滩辉长岩锆石年龄是对扬子板块北缘陆内裂解事件的响应。     

Propagating rift tectonics of a Caledonian marginal basin: Multi-stage seafloor spreading history of the Solund-Stavfjord ophiolite in western Norway

The Late Ordovician Solund-Stavfjord ophiolite in western Norway represents a remnant of the Iapetus oceanic lithosphere that developed in a Caledonian marginal basin. The ophiolite contains three structural domains that display distinctively different crustal architecture that reflects the mode and nature of magmatic and tectonic processes operated during the multi-stage seafloor spreading evolution of this marginal basin. Domain I includes, from top to bottom, an extensive extrusive sequence, a transition zone consisting of dike swarms with screens of pillow breccias, a sheeted dike complex, and plutonic rocks composed mainly of isotropic gabbro and microgabbro. Extrusive rocks include pillow lavas, pillow breccias, and massive sheet flows and are locally sheared and mineralized, containing epidosites, sulfide-sulfate deposits, Fe-oxides, and anhydrite veins, reminiscent of hydrothermal alteration zones on the seafloor along modern mid-ocean ridges. A fossil lava lake in the northern part of the ophiolite consists of a >65-m-thick volcanic sequence composed of a number of separate massive lava units interlayered with pillow lavas and pillow breccia horizons. The NE-trending sheeted dike complex contains multiple intrusions of metabasaltic dikes with one- and two-sided chilled margins and displays a network of both dike-parallel normal and dike-perpendicular oblique-slip faults of oceanic origin. The dike-gabbro boundary is mutually intrusive and represents the root zone of the sheeted dike complex. The internal architecture and rock types of Domain I are analogous to those of intermediate-spreading oceanic crust at modern mid-ocean ridge environments. The ophiolitic units in Domain II include mainly sheeted dikes and plutonic rocks with a general NW structural grain and are commonly faulted against each other, although primary intrusive relations between the sheeted dikes and the gabbros are locally well preserved. The exposures of this domain occur only in the northern and southern parts of the ophiolite complex and are separated by the ENE-trending Domain III, in which isotropic to pegmatitic gabbros and dike swarms are plastically deformed along ENE-striking sinistral shear zones. These shear zones, which locally include fault slivers of serpentinite intrusions, are crosscut by N20°E-striking undeformed basaltic dike swarms that contain xenoliths of gabbroic material. The NW-trending sheeted dike complex in the northern part of Domain II curves into an ENE orientation approaching Domain III in the south. The anomalous nature of deformed crust in Domain III is interpreted to have developed within an oceanic fracture zone or transform fault boundary.REE chemistry of representative extrusive and dike rocks from all three domains indicates N- to E-MORB affinities of their magmas with high Th/Ta ratios that are characteristic of subduction zone environments. The magmatic evolution of Domain I encompasses closed-system fractional crystallization of high-Mg basaltic magmas in small ephemeral chambers, which gradually interconnected to form large chambers in which mixing of primary magmas with more evolved and fractionated magma caused resetting of magma compositions through time. The compositional range from high-Mg basalts to ferrobasalts within Domain I is reminiscent of modern propagating rift basalts. We interpret the NE-trending Domain I as a remnant of an intermediate-spread rift system that propagated northeastwards (in present coordinate system) into a pre-existing oceanic crust, which was developed along the NW-trending doomed rift (Domain II) in the marginal basin. The N20°E dikes laterally intruding into the anomalous oceanic crust in Domain III represent the tip of the rift propagator. The inferred propagating rift tectonics of the Solund-Stavfjord ophiolite is similar to the evolutionary history of the modern Lau back-arc basin in the SW Pacific and suggests a complex magmatic evolution of the Caledonian marginal basin via multi-stage seafloor spreading tectonics.
