应用~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年技术研究清原花岗岩-绿岩地体的形成时代

辽宁清原绿岩地层自下而上分为榆树底组、红透山组和南天门组。小莱河铁矿区榆树底组斜长角闪岩岩石化学性质和稀土元素分布曲线表明,该岩石的原岩属太古代亏损型(DAT)拉斑玄武岩。此斜长角闪岩中的角闪石的两个~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年龄谱给出该岩石的变质作用发生在29.9亿年。清原绿岩地层形成时代可能在30亿年或稍早一些。全球范围绿岩地层的年龄是35—19亿年,峰值是27亿年.清原绿岩地层的早期形成年龄则大于全球绿岩的峰值年龄。     

辽宁阜新排山楼金矿的40Ar/39Ar成矿年龄

排山楼大型金矿床产于辽西高级变质太古宙花岗岩-绿岩带中,受绿岩中、上部层位的基性-中酸性火山岩系和东西向韧性剪切带控制。容矿岩石主要是变质安山质-英安质火山岩类。为解决主矿体的形成时代,选取含金石英细脉浸染状矿石中的石英测定了⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年龄为2105.2±10.4Ma。谱线特征为马鞍型,其底坪年龄为石英的结晶年龄。由此提出排山楼金矿的成因主要与吕梁期的东西向韧性剪切带有关。     

吉林陨石原始捕获的40Ar/36Ar比值及其地质意义

地球大气圈中⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar的现代比值被公认为295.5,在利用K-Ar法测定地球物质年龄时,它是校正大气氩混染量的重要参数。陨石中原始捕获(trapped)的(⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar)_t比值是否和地球大气圈中氩同位素丰度相一致,这个问题不但在地质年龄测定中具有现实意义,而且对探索太阳系的形成和演化也有重要理论价值。近十几年,随着质谱分析技术的提高以及登月计划的实施,国外出现了一批有关月岩中氩同位素原始组分的资料,但至今对陨石中原始氩同位素丰度的报道很少。笔者采用⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar快中子活化技术和约克方程^[3,4],对吉林陨石雨2号标本进行了原始捕获的(⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar)_t比值进行了测定,并探讨了它的地质意义。     

应用40Ar—39Ar定年技术研究某些火山岩及陨石样品的受热历史

常规的K-Ar法是基于⁴⁰K通过K-层电子捕获衰变成⁴⁰Ar^*这一机理,应用衰变定律而定年的。它具有测定对象广、测定年龄范围大等优点,是同位素地质定年的主要方法之一。但是,由于⁴⁰Ar^*是气体,当岩石、矿物形成以后受到搅动时(如岩浆的侵入、构造活动、宇宙物质的冲击等),⁴⁰Ar^*容易丢失,使年龄值偏低。1962年由Sigurgeirsson提出的,后经Merrihue、Turner等人逐步完善的⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar快中子活化定年技术,很好地克服了K-Ar法的局限性。⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar定年分为两种:一是全熔融法(total fusion),样品被快中子照射后一次加热熔融,然后计算年龄,此值与常规K-Ar法结果相当;另一种是阶段加热法(step-heating),被照射的样品从低温到高温被逐步加热,分别计算各温度阶段的⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar视年龄,并进而得到一条年龄谱和一个坪年龄(plateau age)。后一种方法对研究地质体是否受过热的挠动、岩石矿物的早期结晶年代、后期热挠动次数、热挠动年代、岩石矿物对氢的保存性、过剩氩的存在状态等具有独特作用,它开辟了同位素地质年代学的一个新领域。本文将着重介绍应用⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar阶段加热技术研究地球物质及陨石受热历史的某些成果。     

根据40Ar/39Ar年龄谱探讨陨石冲击事件的分期

⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年龄谱是研究陨石冲击事件的重要资料。根据对55块陨石⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar冲击年龄和陨石暴露年龄的分析,发现陨石的冲击年龄与陨石类型之间存在对应关系。据此,将陨石冲击事件划分为九期。其中3900-4000Ma、470-540Ma和小于65Ma是陨石母体的三个重要演化阶段。阶段Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ(冲击年龄大于30亿年)主要涉及高钙型无球粒陨石。所有球粒陨石的冲击年龄均小于30亿年。陨石暴露年龄因类型而异,铁陨石最大,石铁陨石次之,石陨石最小。     

我国K-Ar法标准样40Ar-40K和40Ar-39Ar年龄测定及放射成因40Ar的析出特征

同位素地质年龄标准样的建立,是一项重要的基础工作,它在检查和比较各种实验流程,衡量各种定年方法的可信度,标定同位素稀释剂等方面,都是必不可少的。从1977年初开始,我国同位素地质标准样小组着手建立K-Ar法标准样。为了外检,笔者曾将ZBH-25黑云母、ZBJ角闪石带到澳大利亚国立大学地球科学院进行测定。这两个样品的K-Ar稀释法年龄、⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar坪年龄及⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar等时年龄的一致性表明,这些矿物结晶以后,未受过热的挠动,也不存在过剩氩,是作标准样的理想样品。本文还介绍样品中放射成因⁴⁰Ar的析出特征,并指出⁴⁰Ar可能有两种存在状态,它们各具不同的晶格能。     

长乐—南澳断裂带变形火成岩的U-Pb和40Ar/39Ar年龄

长乐—南澳断裂带中同构造变形的花岗闪长岩主岩和闪长岩包体的锆石UPb法和角闪石⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法定年结果分别为～130Ma和～95Ma。锆石UPb年龄代表了变形花岗质岩石的形成年龄,也表明长乐—南澳断裂带至少在此时已经开始活动。角闪石⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年龄不能代表长乐—南澳断裂带的活动年龄,它记录的是与大规模、未变形的早白垩世晚期(相当于石帽山群)火成活动相关的热变质事件的时间。     

据40Ar/39Ar快中子年龄新资料讨论震旦系底界年龄

作者对相当于晋宁运动岩浆活动产物的湖北峡东黄陵岩体和江西九岭岩体分别进行了⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar快中子定年。对采自宜昌莲沱地区的黑云母斜长花岗岩体和黄陵庙黑云母花岗闪长岩体的样品测得两条年龄谱,HH-01黑云母的高温坪年龄为893.7±6.7Ma,HH-05角闪石坪年龄为886.4±4.6Ma。对采自江西宜丰黄岗口的九岭岩体中黑云母测得的高温坪年龄为937.1±6.4Ma。从上述三个年龄值,并综合以前测定的晋宁期侵入体的年龄值以及不整合面上覆盖层和基底最上部沉积层的一些年龄值认为,以900Ma作为震旦系底界年龄是合适的。     

辽宁鞍本—抚顺地区新太古代含铁建造层位对比及形成时代讨论

辽宁鞍本—抚顺地区太古宙变质层状岩系,前人分别建立了太古宙鞍山群井家沟组、石棚子组、通什村组、红透山组、樱桃园组、大峪沟组和茨沟组等地层单位,这些地层单位均呈规模大小不等的包体状、孤岛状等形态赋存于太古宙变质深成岩中,各组之间大部分孤立存在,无底无顶,相互间接触关系不清,是否属于同一时期形成的产物,长期一来存在着较多的争议。通过对各岩组原岩恢复、层序对比、含铁建造、变质作用等特点和以往及近期获得高精度测年数据的分析研究,把辽宁鞍本—抚顺地区太古宙层状岩系厘定为新太古代井家沟岩组、红透山岩组、茨沟岩组和樱桃园岩组等四个构造岩石地层单位,形成时间在27²5亿a左右,为新太古代中晚期产物。     

河北张－宣金矿区含金石英脉40Ar/39Ar年龄

为解决张-宣地区含金石英脉形成的时代,对区内5个典型金矿脉测定了⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年龄,分别为:1362.0±24.8Ma,963.7±22.3Ma,579.6±8.5Ma,570.8±24.2Ma,167.9±1.2Ma.谱线特征均为马鞍形,最低视年龄为石英的结晶年龄。依次相当于晋宁运动中期,晋宁运动晚期,蓟县运动晚期和燕山运动中期。     

多宝山斑岩铜矿区水热蚀变矿物的激光显微探针40Ar/39Ar定年

在利用脉冲显微激光探针⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar定年技术测定标准样品的J值和年龄适用范围的基础上,研究了黑龙江省嫩江县北部多宝山斑岩铜矿区水热成因矿物的年代学。结果表明,高钾含量的水热蚀变矿物适合于激光探针的表面微区测定,并且可以克服水热蚀变矿物中的³⁹Ar “反冲”丢失对年龄结果的影响。矿区的岩浆-水热事件主要有两期,分别为253-220Ma和184-162Ma,前者代表了成矿时代,后者反映出由成矿期后岩浆活动所引起的水热叠加事件。     

Thermal history of the Ecstall pluton from Ar/Ar geochronology and thermal modeling

New ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar thermochronology results and thermal modeling support the hypothesis of Hollister et al. (2004), that reheating of the mid-Cretaceous Ecstall pluton by intrusion of the Coast Mountains Batholith (CMB) was responsible for spatially variable remagnetization of the Ecstall pluton. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages from hornblende and biotite from 12 locations along the Skeena River across the northern part of the Ecstall pluton decrease with proximity to the Quottoon plutonic complex, the nearest member of the CMB to the Ecstall pluton. The oldest ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages are found farthest from the Quottoon plutonic complex, and are 90 ± 3 Ma for hornblende, and 77.9 ± 1.2 Ma for biotite. The youngest ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages are found closest to the Quottoon plutonic complex, and are 51.6 ± 1.2 Ma for hornblende, and 45.3 ± 1.7 Ma for biotite. No obvious relationship between grain size and age is seen in the Ecstall pluton biotites. Spatial trends in ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages are consistent with model results for reheating by a thermal wall at the location of the Quottoon plutonic complex. Although no unique solution is suggested, our results indicate that the most appropriate thermal history for the Ecstall pluton includes both reheating and northeast side up tilting of the Ecstall pluton associated with intrusion of the Quottoon plutonic complex. Estimates of northward translation from shallow paleomagnetic inclinations in the western part of the Ecstall pluton are reduced to ∼3000 km, consistent with the Baja-BC hypothesis, when northeast side up tilting is accounted for.     

Cooling of a Late-Syn Orogenic Pluton: Evidence from Laser K-feldspar Modelling of the Carion Granite,Madagascar

Since the late 1980s, it has been hypothesized that the wide range of apparent argon ages seen within single K-feldspar samples might be due to a distribution of diffusion domain sizes within the mineral. To test and apply this idea, an analytical technique that combines conventional laboratory degassing experiments (resistance heating) with numerical inversion procedures has been developed to extract cooling history information from feldspars. A key part of the method involves careful control of temperature in the laboratory to constrain the diffusion parameters of the feldspar samples. In our study, we have K-feldspar data from single crystals that mimic the types of data seen in classic resistance heater fusion experiments. Our step-heating data are based on using a continuous argon-ion laser with no direct control on temperature. However, with only a single added free parameter in the model, we show that it is possible to analyze this data in the multi-domain style, and make some simple inferences on the nature of the cooling history of the Carion pluton in central Madagascar. The Carion granitic pluton in central Madagascar was intruded into warm continental crust following orogenic events related to the final amalgamation of Gondwana. U-Pb SHRIMP dating of the pluton yields an emplacement age of 532.1 ± 5.2 Ma followed by relatively slow cooling as constrained by ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages on hornblende, biotite and K-feldspar. Four hornblende samples yielded a mean ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age of 512.7 ± 2.6 Ma. A biotite sample yielded an age of 478.9 ± 1.0 Ma and modeled K-feldspar ages show cooling from 350° C at 466 Ma to 100° C by 410 Ma. Collectively, the data suggest that the pluton cooled from 850° C at 532.1 ± 5.2 (U-Pb zircon) Ma to 500° C at 512.7 ± 2.6 Ma (⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar hornblende), or approximately 18 °C/Ma slowing to ∼4 °C/Ma between 512 Ma and 478 Ma and finally to about 3°C/Ma between 478 and 410 Ma.     

用84Sr作稀释剂时样品中87Sr/86Sr比值的计算

用Rb-Sr法测定地质年龄,对地质样品中的锶往往要进行两种同位素分析:非稀释分析以测定⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr比值;稀释分析以测定样品中⁸⁶Sr的含量。随着稀释剂⁸⁴Sr丰度的提高,Wasserburg et al.(1964),Van schmus(1965),Wetherill与Bickford(1965)采用了以一代二的办法——用稀释分析既测定含量又测⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr比值。由于稀释剂中⁸⁴Sr高度富集,⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr受到的影响小,在当时的技术条件下,这些作者没有对一些数据处理进行讨论。但随着计算技术的应用,大大提高了测量精度,稀释剂对⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁷Sr的影响则必须加以考虑。     

西昆仑库地韧性剪切带的40Ar/39Ar年龄

西昆仑库地以南有一套变质变形较强的岩系,前人依照区域对比关系将其划为前寒武的古老基底。对西昆仑早期构造演化的论述均基于该观点,但没有提供确凿的同位素年代学证据。笔者通过野外观察、室内研究,确认库地以南的变质变形岩系是大型韧性推覆剪切作用的产物。通过对新生变质矿物角闪石和黑云母单矿物的⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年龄分析,确定剪切变质年龄为426-451Ma,说明库地的变质变形岩系是形成于早古生代晚期的一条大型韧性剪切带,这对于解释西昆仑的早期构造演化具有重要意义。     

The geochronology of Iqna Granite (wadi Kid pluton), Southern Sinai

The wadi Kid pluton of Iqna Granite, Southern Sinai, which was intruded during the last Precambrian magmatic phase, yields a Rb-Sr total rock isocrhon age of 580±23 m.y., and an initial ⁸⁷Sr/ ⁸⁶Sr ratio of 0.7028±0.0028. The magma of the Iqna Granite was derived from a low Rb/Sr source shortly before its crystallization. Partial resetting of biotite ages is detected by both Rb-Sr and K-Ar methods. Mineral isochrons yield higher initial values (0.7045–0.7065) as a result of Sr isotopic redistribution within a closed total rock system. The Rb-Sr resetting of the biotites is expressed by radiogenic Sr loss accompanied by a proportional enrichment of common Sr. The Rb content was unaffected by this process. Oxidation of the iron within the biotite indicates the opening of the biotite interlayer space, thus making the Sr exchange possible. These effects are attributed to a thermal event some 510–540 m.y. ago.     

阿尔泰造山带青河地区早泥盆世和寒武纪末花岗岩的年代学、岩石成因及其地质意义

阿尔泰造山带中广泛发育古生代的花岗质岩浆活动,它们对认识阿尔泰造山带的构造演化具有重要意义。本文对青河县西南方向敖包特花岗岩体中的片麻状黑云二长花岗岩及其捕掳体片麻状英云闪长岩进行LA-ICP-MS定年,分别获得了407±3 Ma和491±3 Ma的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄,为早泥盆世和寒武纪末。岩石地球化学特征表明早泥盆世的片麻状黑云二长花岗岩具有钙碱性-碱钙性和镁质花岗岩的特点,其A/CNK比值为0.98~1.08,为准铝质-弱过铝质,CIPW标准刚玉分子数主体小于1,且其具有较高的Y含量(27.2×10~(-6)~40.5×10~(-6))和Th含量(10.2×10~(-6)~27.0×10~(-6)),随着Rb含量的增加均有逐渐增加的趋势,表现出Ⅰ型花岗岩的特征。寒武纪末的片麻状英云闪长岩具有较低的SiO_2含量(60.28%~64.01%),其初始铝饱和指数应为准铝质一弱过铝质,微量元素特征同样表现出Ⅰ型花岗岩的成因特点。通过综合分析认为该早泥盆世的花岗岩与寒武纪末的英云闪长岩均形成于俯冲相关的构造环境。
