南岭地区二迭纪、三迭纪花岗岩的时代和有关问题讨论

Based upon the geological data on some geoehronologieally well-defined rock bodies and relative isotopic dates, in conjunction with the probability statistics of 182 isotopic geochronometric values, the author has suggested that in the Nanling Region,the Upper Permian-Lower Triassic boundary should be placed at about 250 m.y. and the Upper Triassic-Lower Jurassic at 190--195 m.y. It is believed that the unreasonable division of the age bounderies is one of the reasons which gives rise to the endless dispute on the problem concerning the age-division of the Nanling granites. Recent work on geochronology of the Nanling Region by means of statistics leads to a better knowledge that the Nanling Triassic granites occur widely whereas the Permian granites are discattered about in Guangdeng, Guangxi, Fujian,Jiangxi and Hunan provinces.     

东秦岭东段花岗伟晶岩区的同位素地质年龄

26 determinations of the isotopic ages of granites and pegraatites by the K-Ar method are reported for the eastern section of the Eastern Tsinling. There may exist three periods of granites in this region, i.e., (1) late period of Early Paleozoie (420--450m.y.), (2) early period of Late Paleozoie (370-380m.y.)and (3) Mesozoic (178 m.y.) The granitic pegraatites are concentrated, in two regions-the eastern and the western regions. The western re,on is dated to be 400 m.y. Or more, and the eastern region, 370--380 m.y. Two samples of metamorphic rock from Ching-you-ho of Shangnan, Shensi and Lung-ehuan-ping of Lushi, Honan, are determined to be 451 and 453 m.y. respectively.     

Geochemistry and Tectonic Significance of Alkali Granites along the Ulungur River,Xinjiang

In North Xinjiang there is an alkali granite belt extending in the NW-SE direction along the southern band of the Ulungur River and running parallel to the suture zone,i.e.,Aermantai-Zhaheba Ophiolitic Melange Zone ,between the Junggar Plate and the Altay Orogenic Belt.Whole -rock Rb-Sr isochron ages of the Ulungur alkali granites are within the range of 292-309Ma, showing that they were genetically connected with the latest episode of Hercynian magmatism subsequent to the syncollision S-type and post-collision uplifting I-type granitoids in the Altay region .The alkali granites are miner-alogically characterized by the occurrence of aegirine and arfvedsonite and chemically by high silicon and alkali,low calcium and magnesium and abundant high-field elements, being typical A-type granites .The alkali granites were formed in the final stage of the Hercynian calc-alkaline magmatic cycle in a very short period of time .They are in line with the post-orogenic A-type(PA-type)granites, implying that the tectonic regime was changed from compression to extension.     

GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANITES AND ITS STRUCTURAL GENETIC ENVIRONMENT IN THE NANDAN-HECHI METALLOGENETIC BELT, NORTHWEST GUANGXI

The Nandan-Hechi metallogenetic belt is the most important tin-polymetallic producing district in China, and is the location of the Dachang super-large tin deposit. Based on the detailed field investigation and isotopic data, the stages of magmatic activity in the Nandan-Hechi metallogenetic belt have been lined out in this paper. Through the study about the geochemical characteristics of different granites, and by using ω(Al2O3)-ω(SiO2), ω(TFeO)/[ω(TFeO) ω(MgO)]-ω(SiO2), AFM, ACF and Rb-Yb Ta, Rb-Y Nb,Ta-Yb, Nb-Y discrimination diagrams in combination with regional geological setting analysis, the authors carried out analyses about the structural environment for the formation of the granites, and discussed the structural environment and dynamic setting for the large scale mineralization in this area. Our study indicates that the majority of the granites in Nandan-Hechi metallogenetic belt belong to the POG type,while the later stage alaskite belongs to the RRG CEUG type. The granites were formed at the stage of structural transformation from postorogenic phase to intraplate setting. But the major structural environment is characterized by steady regional extension. The formation age for the granites coincides with the time for this transformation, and this translation environment is favored for large-scale metallogenesis.     

中国天山地区花岗岩类的基本特征

Since libration large-scale geological surveys have been made, revealing that the socalled “Tianshan granites” are a complex po]ycycle system of magmatic rocks. It consists mainly of the products of magmatic activities which took place in the differentstages of the Sangyang-Laliang cycle, the Caledonian cycle, the Hercynian cycle, the Indosinian-Yanshan cycle and the Himalaya cycle. The substantial part is composed of granodiorites and biotite granites in the Hercynian cycle. This paper provides a comprehensive discussion for the first time on the granitoid rocks of the Tianshan system in China. The architectonic element of this area consists of the entire Tianshan fold system within the territory of China, and parts of the Kalpin fault block and the Kuluktag fault block which are located in tbe border area in the north of the Tarim Basin. Morever, the petrology and geochemistry of granitoid rocks of different ages in this region are discussed as well. In conjunction with the development of the Tianshan gcosyncline, discussions also are made on the cvolution and the history of tectonic displacement of those granitoid rocks. The comparison between the granitoid rocks of different ages in respect to .their distribution patterns,petrological features, geochemistry, accessory minerals and minerogenetic specificity strongly shows that the evolution of Tianshan granitoid rocks is characterized as being from basic through acid to alkaline.

The Dachang tin ore fields is one of the largest in China, where eassiterite-sulphide-type ore deposits occur. The ages of Dachang granites which are closely related to the ore deposits are discussed in this paper. Based on sixteen K-At biotite and one U-Pb zircon ages, it is suggested that Dachang granites were formed at 72--102 m.y.The cooling rates of Dachang granites have been estimated at 18.4℃/m.y. in the arly, 13.3℃/m.y. in the middle, and 4.5℃/m.y. in the late period.     

Migration of Some Elements and Radionuclides across aGranite-Granite Contact Zone: A Natural Analoguefor Safe Disposal of High-Level Radwastes

Elements and natural radionuclides in the contact zone of two granites with different ages would migrate from one to the other because of the difference in their chemical contents and later water-rock interactions. This migration could serve as an analogue for the near-field process of radwastes in a high-level radwaste deep geological disposal repository.In the contact between the Indosinian granite (whole-rock Rb-Sr isochron age at 214@3 Ma) and Hercynian granite (zircon U-Pb isochron age at 296@31 Ma) located in Ziyuan County, Guangxi, the O and Pb isotope characteristics and the activity ratios of 234U/238U, 230Th/238U, 230Th/234U and 226Ra/230Th show that, based on the whole-rock chemical contents, both of the two granites have maintained a relatively open chemical system in their evolution processes. However, as there is no obvious open fault, the migration of major elements, trace elements and natural U-series nu-clides takes place within only 1-2 m in the contact zone, and water-rock interaction     

从中酸性的岩浆活动论西藏高原地壳运动特征

In view of their distinct NWW trending and their decreasing geological age from north to south, intermediate-acid magmatic rocks in the southern part of Xizang can be divided into three petrographical belts in general: (1) the Kangdese belt (120--10 m.y.). The major part of the belt is mainly composed of diorite, granodiorite, etc.,more intermediate in chemical composition and ranges from 120---70 m. y. in age; (2)the Lhangoi Kangri belt (30 m. y.) ; and (8) the Himalaya belt (20--10 m. y.). From their intruding features, spatial-temporal consistency, intruding scale, petrological characters and chemical Composition, it is suggested that these three petrographical belts secm to be closely related to plate underthrust and collision. It may be concluded that the major part of the Kangdese belt is resulted from the underthrust of the Indian Ocean Plate towards the Eurasian Continental Plate while the Lhagoi Kangri belt and the Himalaya belt are the results:of collision of the Indian sub-Continental Plate overlying the .Indian Plate with the Eurasian Continental Plate.     

前寒武摩天岭岩体同位素地质年龄讨论

Six zircon smaples were collected from the Motianling massif. According to the characteristics of zircons, they were divided into three types and that of type Ⅲ were separated for isotopic age determination. Through calculation and graphical analysis of the isotopic data on each zircon sample, true zircon ages were obtained:2860 m.y. for type Ⅰ, 760 m.y. for type Ⅱ and 510-580 m.y. for type Ⅲ, It is evident from geological environments of the Motianling massif, in conjunction with the characteristics of the zircons, that the first type formed earlier than the massif, the second one was contemperary with the massif, thus representing the age of the latter,and the third came into being due to metamorphism to which the massif had been subjected after its formation. From the above facts it is reasonable to believe that the Motianling massif is formed by granitization during the Xuefeng movement fromthe Sibao Group and the Banchi Group in the studied area. Later, it once again suffered metamorphism during the Caledonian movement and thus giving rise to the massif we observed at present.     

浙江省燕山期花岗岩的同位素地质年代问题

The available data on K-Ar dating of Yenshanian granites in Zhejiang Province have been summarized in the present paper. Based on K-Ar isochron ages of the granites, in conjunction with geological evidence, three episodes of granitic magmatic intrusion are distinguished as follows: the first episode--160--135 m.y., the second-130-110 m.y. and the third--105--65 m.y. Furthermore, the tempo-spacial distribution of K-Ar ages and their geotectonic implieations are also discussed.     

南岭花岗岩时代分期剖析

Age division of Nanling granites are discussed in relation to geological,stratigraphical,age and other data,The author believes that in Nanling region there exist granites of Xuefeng,Caledonian,Hercynian,Indosinian and Yenshanian ages.Five intrusive stages can be reeognized within the Yenshanian period.The granite belts of Qitianling-Jiufeng and Dadongshan-Guidong,whose ages have been in lively debate for a long time,can be considered as composite belts consisting of multistage emplacement.     

关于南岭花岗岩时代和分期讨论的倡议

Based upon the present research stratus on Nan Ling granites and in the view of the defferenees in the opinions on the ages and periodic division of Nan Ling granites existing among some research units concerned, a proposal has been snbmitted in the paper, pointing out that it is quite necessary to launch a discussion in the deeper-going way on the problem involving the ages of Nan Ling granites and their periodic division in the journal “GEOCHIMICA”. The main topics expected to be discussed are as follows : (1) The existanec of Hereynian granites and the possibility of the formation of non-orogenic granites; (2) The divisional boundary between Yeushanian and Indonsinian granites and their distributional characteristics; (3) The periodic sub-division of Yenshanian granites and their relatiouship with mineralization ; (4) The division of the ,ages of granites older than the Caledonian period.     

Definition of the Quaternary Qiangtang Paleolake in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China

Since the Quaternary, many lakes have been present in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. As peculiar geological processes in the evolution of the uplifting of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, the distributions and evolutions of the Quaternary paleolakes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau have been the focus of interest among the international geosciences circle. Comparisons of the newly obtained and existing data from field surveys, remote sensing images, characteristics of tectonic landforms and distribution of the lacustrine strata, the author have, for the first time, defined a large-sized Quaternary Qiangtang Paleolake. The paleolake starts from the east-westerly direction at Rutog in western Tibet, passing through Gêrzê, and finally ends at Nagqu in eastern Tibet. Its length is approximately 1,200 km; it is about 420 km at its widest point (north-southerly). The Paleolake forms an E-W (or NWW) ellipsoid with an estimated area of 354920 km2. The Paleolake is bordered by the Mts. Gangdisê and Nyainqêntanglha to the south and the Karakorum Pass-Tozê Kangri-Zangbagangri- Tanggula Pass to the north. It generally appears as a basinal landform with low mountains and valleys in the central part (altitudes of 4400 m) and higher altitudes (5000 m) in the peripheries. The formation and development of the Paleolake was controlled by the nearly E-W trending structures.     

广西花岗岩时代讨论

Distributed in Guangxi Province are granites of the Szipao, the Hsuehfengian and the other three periods. Hereynian and Indosinian granites are treated in this paper as produets of a single eycle because the Permian granitism in Guangxi is thought to be eontinuity of the late Paleozoic magmatism. Although the Darongshan granite is found to have intruded into the upper Permian, but it yields an age of 231--289 m.y. This discrepaney may be due to, among other things, an inappropriate age division between the Permian and Triassic periods as set in the International Geochronological Table, and to a strong contamination.     

Pre-collision Granites and Post-collision Intrusive Assemblage of the Kelameili-Harlik Orogenic Belt

The main types of intrusive rocks in the Kelameili-Harlik Hercynian erogenic belt include calc-alkaline granites, diabase dykes, kaligranites and alkaline granites. Investigation in field geology, petrology, mineralogy and geochemistry shows that the calc-alkaline granites belong to the syntexis-type (or I-type) and were formed in a pre-collisional magmatic arc environment. In consideration of the fact that kaligranites have many features of alkaline granites with higher consolidation temperatures than the calc-alkaline granites and show a discontinuity of minor element and REE evolution in respect to the calc-alkaline granites, they could not have been derived by differentiation of magmas for the calc-alkaline granites, but are likely to have been generated in an environment analogous to that for alkaline granites. The triplet of basic dyke swarms, kaligranites and alkaline granites could be regarded as a prominent indication of the initial stage of post-collisional delamination and extension. These ro     

Hydrothermal H?gbomite Associated with Vanadiferous-Titaniferous (V-Ti) Bearing Magnetite Bands in Bhakatarhalli Chromite Mine, Nuggihalli Greenstone Belt, Western Dharwar Craton, Karnataka, India

Hogbomite,a rare exotic mineral,is found to be associated with the vanadiferous-titaniferous （V-Ti） bearing magnetite bands at Bhakatarhalli,Nuggihaifi greenstone belt,western Dharwar Craton,India.We report on a second occurrence of hogbomite from the Dharwar craton in Karnataka,which is the sixth documented occurrence of this mineral from India.We evaluate the chemical characteristics of hogbomite and associated Fe-Ti-minerals in an attempt to identify its formation as a primary hydrothermal mineral in a metamorphosed magnetite layer.We report here the presence of hogbomite as a complex oxide of Fe,Mg,Al and Ti with accessory of Zn,V and Sn.Petrographic studies suggest the （V-Ti） bearing magnetite （Mt） contain spinel,hogbomite,chlorite,martite,ilmenite （Ⅱ） and minor amounts of diaspore.The hogbomite displays euhedral to subhedral textures,and is up to 250 μm along the grain boundaries of magnetite and ilmenite.In the samples studied,hogbomite is prismatic,irregular and elongated in shape.The genesis of hogbomite in veins between magnetite and ilmenite implies its precipitation from fluids without involving complicated reactions.Several models were proposed for the formation of hogbomite; however,the subject is still debatable.     

Regional Tectonic Transformation in East Kunlun Orogenic Belt in Early Paleozoic: Constraints from the Geochronology and Geochemistry of Helegangnaren Alkali-feldspar Granite

The Helegangnaren feldspar granite exposed in the eastern part of East Kunlun, is characterized by high concentrations of SiO2 and alkaline, low abundances of Fe, Mg and Ca, metaluminous-weak peraluminous. Trace elements analysis shows that the granite is depleted extremely in Ba, Sr and Eu, and rich in some large-ion lithophile elements and high field strength elements. Besides, the granite has high Ga contents, the values of 104(Ga/Al) vary from 2.50 to 2.77, which is mainly greater than the lower limit of A-type granites (2.6), and is higher than the I- and S-type granites’ average (2.1 and 2.28, respectively). Rare earth element (REE) is characterized by relatively high fractionations of light REE (LREE) and heavy REE (HREE) (LREE/HREE=9.3–13.60, (La/Yb)N=10.92–18.02), pronounced negative Eu anomalies (δEu=0.08–0.13), and exhibits right-dipping gull pattern. Major elements, rare elements and trace elements features show the granite is ascribed to A-type granite and A2 subtype in tectonic genetic type. They are plotted into post-collision or within-plate area in a variety of tectonic discriminations. Geological and geochemical data comprehensively suggest that the granite is formed in a post-collision extensive tectonic setting. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) zircon U-Pb dating yields a weighted mean age of 425?Ma, belonging to Middle Silurian, which is similar to the age of the post-collision geological events in the region. The differences of magmatic rocks in formation age, rocks assemblage and rocks series systematically indicate that the regional tectonic stress regime in the East Kunlun orogenic belt experienced a major transformation from compress to extension in Middle Silurianin, and the Helegangnaren feldspar granite intruded in the early stage of tectonic transformation.     

Early Permian A‐type Granites in the Zhangdaqi Area,Inner Mongolia,China and Their Tectonic Implications

There is a controversy regarding the amalgamation of Xing'an and Songnen Blocks along the Hegenshan-Heihe Suture(HHS) in the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt(CAOB). To solve this problem, we performed detailed study on the granites from the Zhangdaqi area, adjacent to the north of the HHS in the northern part of the Great Xing'an Range, NE China. Geochemically, the granites in the study area are metaluminous-weak peraluminous and high-K calc-alkaline series. Trace elements of the granites show that LREEs are relatively enriched, while HREEs are relatively deficient and obvious REE fractionation. The granites are characterized by obvious negative Eu anomalies, meanwhile, they are relatively enriched in Rb, K, Th and depleted in Ba, Nb, Sr, P, Ti. All the geochemical features suggest that the granites in the Zhangdaqi area are aluminum A-type granites. The zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages of these granites are 294–298 Ma, indicating that they formed in the Early Permian. These granites also have positive ε_(Hf)(t) values(8.4–14.2) and a relatively young two-stage model age between 449 Ma and 977 Ma, implying that the magma was derived from the re-melting of the Early Paleozoic-Neoproterozoic juvenile crust. Combined with geochemical characteristics(Nb/Ta ratios of 9.0–22.2, and Zr/Hf ratios of 52.3–152.0), we believe that the magmatic source area is a mixture of partial melting of the lower crust and depleted mantle. A-type granites and bimodal volcanic rocks along the Hegenshan-Heihe Suture formed during the Late Carboniferous-Early Permian, indicating that the HHS between Xing'an and Songnen Blocks closed in the late EarlyCarboniferous. Subsequently, the Zhangdaqi area was in a post-orogenic extensional environment from Late Carboniferous to Early Permian and resulted in the formation of the A-type granites.     

Rb-Sr Dating of Pyrite and Quartz Fluid Inclusions and Origin of Ore-forming Materials of the Jinshan Gold Deposit,Northeast Jiangxi Province,South China

The Jinshan gold deposit is located in the Northeast Jiangxi province,South China,which related to the ductile shear zone.It contains two ore types,i.e.the alteration-type ore and the goldbearing quartz vein ore.Rb-Sr age dating is applied to both gold-bearing pyrite in the alteration-type ore and fluid inclusion in the gold-bearing quartz vein to make clear the time of the gold mineralization of the Jinshan deposit.Analytical results of this study yielded that the age of the alteration-type ore bodies is about 838±110Ma,with an initial 87Sr/86Sr value of 0.7045±0.0020.However,the age of the gold-bearing quartz vein-type ore is about 379±49Ma,and the initial 87Sr/86Sr is 0.7138±0.0011.Based on the age data from this work and many previous studies,the authors consider that the Jinshan gold deposit is a product of multi-staged mineralization,which may include the Jinninian,Caledonian,Hercynian,and Yanshanian Periods.Among them,the Jinninian Period and the Hercynian Period might be the two most important ore-forming periods for Jinshan deposit.The Jinninian Period is the main stage for the formation of alteration-type ore bodies,while the Hercynian Period is the major time for ore bodies of gold-bearing quartz vein type.The initial values of the 87Sr/86Sr from this study,as well as the previous isotope and trace element studies,indicate that the ore-forming materials mainly derived from the metamorphic wall rocks,and the ore-forming fluids mainly originated from the deep metamorphic water.
