东喜马拉雅构造结南迦巴瓦岩群花岗质片麻岩的初步研究

野外地质填图和研究发现,东喜马拉雅构造结高喜马拉雅结晶岩系中有古老的花岗岩侵入,并在鲁霞地区圈定了9个花岗质侵入体。古老的花岗质岩石主要侵位于南迦巴瓦岩群直白岩组中,与南迦巴瓦岩群一起经历了麻粒岩相变质作用而形成花岗质片麻岩套。岩石类型有花岗闪长质片麻岩、黑云母花岗质片麻岩、闪长质片麻岩等。岩石化学研究表明这些花岗片麻岩套具“S”型特征,可能有深部幔源物质的加入。花岗岩形成深度在2～5km之间．侵位时代为552～525Ma,为新元古代晚期,属泛非期陆内演化阶段的产物。高喜马拉雅地区在元古宙末期形成了结晶基底。     

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.     

Petrology and 40Ar–39Ar dating of shear zones in the Lanterman Range (northern Victoria Land, Antarctica): implications for metamorphic and temporal evolution at terrane boundaries

Summary The Lanterman Fault Zone, a major terrane boundary in northern Victoria Land, displays a polyphase structural evolution. After west-over-east thrusting, it experienced sinistral strike-slip shearing. Sheared metabasites from the Wilson Terrane (inboard terrane) preserve a record of retrograde metamorphic evolution. Shearing took place under amphibolite-facies metamorphic conditions (roughly comparable to those reached during regional metamorphism) which later evolved to greenschist-facies conditions. In contrast, the Bowers Terrane (outboard terrane) preserves a prograde metamorphic evolution which developed from greenschist-facies to amphibolite-facies metamorphism during shearing, followed by greenschist-facies metamorphism during the late deformational stages. Laser step-heating ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar analyses of syn-shear amphibolite-facies amphiboles yielded ages of 480–460 Ma, in agreement with a ∼480-Ma age obtained from a biotite aligned along the mylonitic foliation. These ages are younger than those (∼492 to ∼495 Ma) obtained from pre-shear amphibole relics linked to regional metamorphism of the Wilson Terrane. Results attribute the structural and metamorphic reworking during shearing to the late stages of the Cambrian-Ordovician Ross Orogeny and to the Middle-Late Ordovician probably in relation to the beginning of deformation in the Lachlan Orogen, thus precluding any appreciable impact of the Devonian-Carboniferous Borchgrevink event in the study area.     

胶北地体多期变质事件的P-T-t轨迹及其对胶-辽-吉带形成与演化的制约

胶北地体位于华北克拉通东部陆块胶-辽-吉带南端,主要由闪长质-TTG-花岗质片麻岩、变质表壳岩系和变质镁铁-超镁铁质岩所组成。本文通过对胶北早前寒武纪变质岩系的岩石学、矿物化学、变质反应结构和序列、变质温度和压力估算与同位素年代学资料的综合研究和总结,得出以下重要结论:(1)与华北克拉通东部陆块其它地区太古宙变质基底类似,本区也存在~2500Ma区域性新太古代变质事件,且与本区2550~2500Ma岩浆作用在时间上非常接近,其变质作用发生的时间比岩浆作用要晚10~50Myr,指示本区~2500Ma区域性变质事件可能与大规模的幔源岩浆底侵作用存在密切的成因关系。(2)胶北还存在1950~1850Ma区域性古元古代变质事件,并导致了大量高压基性和泥质麻粒岩的形成,高压基性麻粒岩主要以不规则透镜体、变形岩墙群或岩脉群的形式赋存于闪长质-TTG-花岗质片麻岩之中,并集中分布在安丘-平度-莱西-莱阳-栖霞一带,大致沿北东-南西向断续带状分布,构成了一条长约300km的古元古代高压麻粒岩相变质带。(3)本区古元古代高压麻粒岩以记录近等温减压(ITD)及随后近等压降温(IBC)的顺时针P-T-t轨迹为特征,指示本区变质杂岩在古元古代晚期曾强烈地卷入了与俯冲-拼贴-碰撞造山有关的构造过程,并可能经历了如下复杂的构造演化:(I)在古元古代晚期2000~1950Ma,随着有限大洋地壳的持续俯冲作用,本区各类变质岩的原岩开始经历一次构造增厚事件,并导致了它们的原岩经历了早期绿片岩相-角闪岩相进变质作用;(II)1950~1870Ma,大洋地壳俯冲作用结束,本区开始发生弧-陆拼贴和陆-陆碰撞作用,大陆地壳持续缩短和加厚,在加厚下地壳或岛弧根部带约50km的深度,发生了区域性高压麻粒岩相变质作用,并导致了本区变基性岩和变泥质岩分别形成了石榴石+单斜辉石+斜长石±角闪石±石英±铁-钛氧化物和石榴石+蓝晶石+钾长石+斜长石+黑云母+石英+铁-钛氧化物+熔体的高压麻粒岩相矿物组合。(III)1870~1800Ma,在同碰撞峰期变质结束之后,本区造山作用进入了后碰撞构造折返-伸展演化阶段,先后经历了早期快速构造折返和晚期缓慢冷却降温两个构造热演化阶段。其中,在早期快速构造折返阶段,高压麻粒岩经历了峰后近等温或略微增温减压退变质作用的叠加,高压基性麻粒岩表现为沿石榴石边部形成了含斜方辉石的后成合晶。与此同时,早期快速构造折返阶段还伴随着热松弛和伸展作用,出现一系列的幔源基性岩浆活动,不仅导致了本区大量未经历高压麻粒岩相变质的变基性岩群的形成,同时也诱发了区内大规模的地壳深熔作用的发生。自温度高峰期之后,本区地壳岩石还经历了一个近等压冷却降温过程,并发生了区域性角闪岩相退变质作用,高压基性麻粒岩表现为石榴石和斜方辉石边部常出现含角闪石的退变边或后成合晶。最终,在1800Ma左右,本区含电气石花岗伟晶质岩脉的大量出现,则标志着胶北地体古元古代晚期(2000~1800Ma)俯冲-拼贴-碰撞造山作用的最终结束。     

苏鲁高压—超高压变质地体的陆—陆碰撞深俯冲剥蚀模式

中国苏鲁高压—超高压变质地体由2个不同时代的变质基底组成.南苏鲁(临沭—连云港地区)中不同类型高压—超高压变质岩石的原岩形成于由大陆玄武质岩石、辉长岩、表壳岩和花岗岩组成的被动大陆边缘拉伸构造环境.研究表明南苏鲁高压—超高压变质岩石的原岩所代表的花岗岩浆和基性岩浆作用为罗迪尼亚超大陆形成后的新元古代(780-700Ma)裂解事件的响应.北苏鲁(青岛—威海)超高压变质地区的花岗质片麻岩锆石SHRIMPU-Pb定年表明,变质基底的年龄是2400Ma(或 & 2400 Ma),并经历了1800-1700Ma和-200Ma的变质事件,研究表明苏鲁高压—超高压变质地体由2个不同时代变质基底组成,北苏鲁的变质基底属于北中国板块胶辽朝地块的一部分,形成时代比南苏鲁基底老得多,其与南苏鲁地块之间的界限位于五莲以北到海阳所以南一线.由于在北苏鲁含柯石英的透辉石石英岩锆石SHRIMPU-Pb定年获得精确超高压峰期变质年龄为(234.1±4.2)Ma,退变质年龄为(218.2±1.5)Ma,表明南、北苏鲁2个不同时代基底地块同时经历了超高压变质作用.根据上述事实,提出苏鲁高压—超高压变质地体的陆—陆碰撞俯冲剥蚀新模式,即扬子板片在240-220Ma的深俯冲作用中拽动上部胶辽朝板片的—部分老变质基底岩石向下俯冲至大于100km的深度,并形成楔形俯冲剥蚀体,之后又与南苏鲁俯冲板片一起快速折返上来。      

Geochronology and tectonic significance of Middle Proterozoic granitic orthogneiss, North Qaidam HP/UHP terrane, Western China

Summary Amphibolite-facies para- and orthogneisses near Dulan, in the southeast part of the North Qaidam terrane, enclose minor ultra-high pressure (UHP) eclogite and peridotite. Field relations and coesite inclusions in zircons from paragneiss suggest that felsic, mafic, and ultramafic rocks all experienced UHP metamorphism and a common amphibolite-facies retrogression. Ion microprobe U–Pb and REE analyses of zircons from two granitic orthogneisses indicate magmatic crystallization at 927 ± Ma and 921 ± 7 Ma. Zircon rims in one of these samples yield younger ages (397–618 Ma) compatible with partial zircon recrystallization during in-situ Ordovician-Silurian eclogite-facies metamorphism previously determined from eclogite and paragneiss in this area. The similarity between a 2496 ± 18 Ma xenocrystic core and 2.4–2.5 Ga zircon cores in the surrounding paragneiss suggests that the granites intruded the sediments or that the granite is a melt of the older basement which supplied detritus to the sediments. The magmatic ages of the granitic orthogneisses are similar to 920–930 Ma ages of (meta)granitoids described further northwest in the North Qaidam terrane and its correlative west of the Altyn Tagh fault, suggesting that these areas formed a coherent block prior to widespread Mid Proterozoic granitic magmatism.     

苏鲁造山带大规模岩浆活动的证据:新元古代多成因花岗质片麻岩

花岗质片麻岩是苏鲁超高压变质带中分布最为广泛的岩石单元,其岩石形成于新元古代。苏鲁超高压变质带中段——山东胶—莒南地区的花岗质片麻岩主要由以细粒白云母二长花岗质片麻岩为代表的荣成片麻岩套、以粗粒含角闪二长花岗质片麻岩为代表的月季山片麻岩套和以含霓石碱长花岗质片麻岩为代表的岚山头片麻岩套等组成。花岗片麻岩主体属于高K钙碱性系列。相比而言,荣成片麻岩套碱质较低、贫钠,月季山片麻岩套相对富碱质、富钠、富铁镁、低硅,岚山头片麻岩套则富硅钾、贫铝铁镁。荣成岩套具有S型花岗岩的特点,月季山岩套具有I型花岗岩的特点,岚山头岩套具有A型花岗岩的特点。苏鲁超高压变质带新元古代花岗质片麻岩构成了较完整的碰撞造山型花岗岩系列:陆陆碰撞主造山期,形成同碰撞双花岗岩,其中荣成岩套形成时间略早,深俯冲到地幔中遭受了超高压变质作用,而月季山岩套是在超高压岩片快速折返过程中形成的;碰撞造山后期地壳伸展,形成岚山头片麻岩套。     

胶北早前寒武纪变质基底多期岩浆-变质热事件:来自TTG片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩中锆石U-Pb定年的证据

本文采用LA-ICP-MS技术,对胶北地体TTG片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩中锆石进行系统原位U-Pb定年和稀土、微量元素的分析,发现研究区早前寒武变质结晶基底存在多期岩浆-变质热事件。4件TTG片麻岩和2件花岗质片麻岩锆石样品记录了2909±13Ma、2738±23Ma、2544±15~2564±12Ma和2095±12Ma 4组岩浆事件年龄,以及2504±16~2513±32Ma和1863±41Ma 2组变质事件年龄。结合以往TTG片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩的地球化学及Nd同位素研究发现,约2738Ma的TTG岩浆事件可能代表胶北地体地壳最主要的生长事件,而2544~2564Ma的岩浆事件则可能代表古老地壳重熔的最强烈岩浆事件,约2095Ma岩浆事件则反映了胶-辽-吉构造带内部在该时期与地壳拉张作用有关的岩浆活动。2504~2513Ma是研究区以及华北克拉通早前寒武基底最主要的一期变质热事件,可能与地幔柱(热点)岩浆的底侵作用有关,而TTG片麻岩记录的约1863Ma的变质年龄与研究区基性和泥质高压麻粒岩相岩石记录的麻粒岩相变质时代一致,暗示TTG片麻岩可能也经历了古元古代高压麻粒岩相变质作用,上述研究进一步表明胶北地体在古元古代的确存在一期陆-陆碰撞的重要造山事件。该项研究成果对于进一步深入探讨胶北乃至华北克拉通早前寒武纪变质基底的形成演化、岩浆-变质热事件序列及其构造背景具有重要的科学意义。     

Timing of magmatism and metamorphism in the Gruinard Bay area of the Lewisian Gneiss Complex: comparisons with the Assynt Terrane and implications for terrane accretion

U-Pb zircon data from selected gneiss samples provide estimates of the timing of igneous protolith emplacement and granulite facies metamorphism in the Gruinard Bay, Badcall Bay and Lochinver areas of the mainland Lewisian Gneiss Complex of north-west Scotland. Zircons from the gneisses contain complex zoning patterns making them amenable to SHRIMP ion microprobe analysis, with inherited zircon distinguishable from magmatic growth and metamorphic recrystallisation. From Gruinard Bay, a tonalitic granulite yielded a protolith age of 2,825±8 Ma for oscillatory-zoned zircon cores, with recrystallised low-U rims preserving an age of 2,733±12 Ma. An inherited 2,905±15 Ma age component was recognised in a sample of trondhjemitic gneiss, the protolith of which is estimated to have been emplaced at 2,858±11 Ma. Low-U rims yielding an age of 2,729±20 Ma are also present, which together with the rim age from the granulite are considered to date granulite facies metamorphism in the Gruinard region. For comparison with the Gruinard Bay gneisses, a trondhjemitic partial melt and trondhjemite sheet were analysed from the granulite facies rocks at Badcall Bay in the Assynt terrane. Age data do not show definitive relationships with zoning patterns in the zircons, and show a spread along concordia typical of previous ion microprobe age data from the Scourie gneisses. Both samples do, however, show a significant isotopic disturbance at 2,480 Ma, the most recent estimate for the Badcallian metamorphism. Protolith ages for components of the Assynt terrane range between ca. 2,900 and 3,030 Ma, and appear to be older than the 2,860–2,825 Ma gneiss protoliths from the Gruinard Bay area. The timing of granulite facies metamorphism also appears to be different between the two areas, suggesting that the two granulite regions of the mainland may not be related as previously thought. Instead, they are interpreted in terms of a terrane accretion model whereby the two areas evolved as separate blocks prior to their juxtaposition during the Palaeoproterozoic. The boundary between the two terranes is thought to lie to the south of Lochinver, corresponding with the Strathan Line, because of the observed 2,480 Ma age signature to the north and 2,730 Ma signature to the south. By defining a new mainland terrane, the Gruinard Terrane, the number of mainland blocks, which includes the Assynt (central), Rhiconich (northern) and Southern terranes, has been expanded.Editorial responsibility: I.

The Yermakovsky beryllium deposit,Western Transbaikal region,Russia: Geochronology of igneous rocks

The sequence of rock and ore formation at the Yermakovsky beryllium deposit is established on the basis of geological relationships and Rb-Sr and U-Pb isotopic dating. The Rb-Sr age of amphibolitefacies regional metamorphism is determined for quartz-biotite-plagioclase schist (266 ± 18 Ma) and dolomitized limestone (271 ± 12 Ma) of the Zun-Morino Formation. The U-Pb zircon age of premineral gabbro is 332 ± 1 Ma. The Rb-Sr age of gabbro is somewhat younger (316 ± 8.3 Ma), probably owing to the effect of Hercynian metamorphism on sedimentary rocks of the Zun-Morino Formation and gabbroic intrusion that cuts through it. The U-Pb zircon age of gneissose granite of the Tsagan Complex at the Yermakovsky deposit is 316 ± 2 Ma, i.e., close to the age of metamorphism superimposed on gabbro rocks. The U-Pb zircon age of preore granitic dikes, estimated at 325 ± 3 and 333 ± 10 Ma, is close to the age of gabbro. The Ar/Ar age of amphibole from a granitic dike (302.5 ± 0.9 Ma) probably displays a later closure of this isotopic system or the effect of superimposed processes. The Rb-Sr age of alkali syenite intrusion is 227 ± 1.9 Ma. The U-Pb zircon age of alkali leucogranite stock pertaining to the Lesser Kunalei Complex is 226 ± 1 Ma, while the Rb-Sr age of beryllium ore is 225.9 ± 1.2 Ma. These data indicate that beryllium ore mineralization is closely related in space and time to igneous rocks of the Lesser Kunalei Complex dated at 224 ± 5 Ma and varying from gabbro to alkali granite in composition. Thus, the preore Hercynian magmatism at the Yermakovsky deposit took place ∼330 Ma ago and was completed by metamorphism dated at 271–266 Ma. The ore-forming magmatism and beryllium ore mineralization are dated at 224 ± 5 Ma. Postore magmatic activity is scarce and probably correlated with tectonic melange of host rocks.     

Large areal extent of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism in the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure terrane of East China: new implications from coesite and omphacite inclusions in zircon of granitic gneiss

Coesite and omphacite inclusions have been identified for the first time as minute inclusions in zircon from amphibolite-facies granitic orthogneiss in the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic terrane of eastern China by Raman spectroscopy and microprobe analyses. The occurrences of these minerals in the voluminous granitic gneiss of Sulu support a regional and pervasive UHP metamorphic event that predated regional amphibolitic retrogression. Taking into account the widespread discoveries of coesite in other lithologies, we thus conclude that a substantial crustal component in the Sulu UHP metamorphic terrane appears to have shared a common history of Triassic subduction to mantle depths and later exhumation.     

Evolution of the Bhandara-Balaghat granulite belt along the southern margin of the Sausar Mobile Belt of central India

The Bhandara-Balaghat granulite (BBG) belt occurs as a 190 km long, detached narrow, linear, NE-SW to ENE-WSW trending belt that is in tectonic contact on its northern margin with the Sausar Group of rocks and is bordered by the Sakoli fold belt in the south. The Bhandara part of the BBG belt is quite restricted, comprising a medium to coarse grained two-pyroxene granulite body that is of gabbroic composition and preserves relic igneous fabric. The main part of the belt in Arjuni-Balaghat section includes metasedimentary (quartzite, BIF, Al- and Mg-Al metapelites) and metaigneous (metaultramafic, amphibolite and two-pyroxene granulite) protoliths interbanded with charnockite and charnockitic gneiss. These rocks, occurring as small bands and enclaves within migmatitic and granitic gneisses, show polyphase deformation and metamorphism. Geochemically, basic compositions show tholeiitic trend without Fe-enrichment, non-komatitic nature, continental affinity and show evolved nature. Mineral parageneses and reaction textures in different rock compositions indicate early prograde, dehydration melt forming reactions followed by orthopyroxene stability with or without melt. Coronitic and symplectitic garnets have formed over earlier minerals indicating onset of retrograde IBC path. Evidences for high temperature ductile shearing are preserved at places. Retrogressive hydration events clearly post-date the above paths. The present study has shown that the BBG belt may form a part of the Bastar Craton and does not represent exhumed oceanic crust of the Bundelkhand Craton. It is further shown that rocks of the BBG belt have undergone an earlier high-grade granulite metamorphism at 2672 ± 54 Ma (Sm-Nd age) and a post-peak granulite metamorphism at 1416 ± 59Ma (Sm-Nd age, 1380 ± 28Ma Rb-Sr age). These events were followed by deposition of the Sausar supracrustals and Neoproterozoic Sausar orogeny between 973 ± 63Ma and 800 ± 16Ma (Rb-Sr ages).

Oxygen and hydrogen isotope geochemistry of gneisses associated with ultrahigh pressure eclogites at Shuanghe in the Dabie Mountains

The oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of minerals and whole rock were determined for two types of gneiss (biotite gneiss and granitic gneiss) associated with ultrahigh pressure (UHP) eclogites in the Shuanghe district of the eastern Dabie Mountains. There are significant differences in δ¹⁸O between the two gneisses: the UHP biotite gneiss varying from −4.3‰ to 10.6‰ similar to the associated eclogites, whereas the non-UHP granitic gneiss ranges only from −3.8‰ to 1.2‰. The δD values are similar in the two gneisses with −37 to −64‰ for epidote/zoisite, −92 to −83‰ for amphibole, and −63 to −109‰ for biotite/phengite. Hydrogen isotope disequilibrium among the coexisting hydroxyl-bearing minerals is ascribed to retrograde exchange subsequent to amphibolite-facies metamorphism. Oxygen isotopic equilibrium has been preserved among various minerals in both gneisses regardless of the large variation in rock δ¹⁸O. Oxygen isotopic geothermometers yield different but regular temperatures corresponding to the closure temperatures of oxygen diffusion in the minerals. The metamorphic temperatures of both eclogite facies and amphibolite facies have been recovered in mineral pairs from the biotite gneiss. The isotopic temperatures for the granitic gneiss are mostly in accordance with amphibolite-facies metamorphism. However, high temperatures of 550 to 650 °C are obtained from those minerals resistant to retrograde oxygen isotope exchange, implying that the granitic gneiss may have experienced higher temperature metamorphism than expected from petrologic thermometers. The ¹⁸O-depletion of both gneisses is interpreted to result from meteoric-hydrothermal exchange before/during plate subduction. Therefore, the measured δ¹⁸O values of the gneisses reflect the oxygen isotope compositions of their protoliths prior to the UHP metamorphism. It is inferred that the UHP unit is in foreign contact with the non-UHP unit like a tectonic melange, but both of them experienced the two common stages of geodynamic evolution: (1) ¹⁸O-depletion prior to the UHP metamorphism, (2) uplifting since the amphibolite-facies metamorphism.

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.     

威海地区超高压变质花岗片麻岩锆石U-Pb定年和氧同位素研究

在苏鲁超高压变质带东北端山东威海地区皂埠镇发现锆石δ18O值低至-7.8‰左右的花岗片麻岩, 与前人在苏鲁超高压变质带西南端江苏东海青龙山地区发现的锆石δ18O值为-7‰~-9‰左右的花岗片麻岩一致.对这些低δ18O值花岗片麻岩进行了锆石SHRIMP法UPb定年和系统的激光氟化法矿物氧同位素分析, 结果对低δ18O值锆石成因和花岗片麻岩的原岩性质提供了制约.研究得到: (1) 这些低δ18O值锆石以新元古代岩浆锆石为主, 但部分岩浆锆石在印支期超高压变质作用过程中发生了不同程度的重结晶作用.δ18O值为-7.08‰的岩浆核锆石UPb定年得到的花岗片麻岩原岩谐和年龄和不一致线上交点年龄分别为(760±49) Ma和(751±27) Ma, 变质谐和年龄和不一致线下交点年龄分别为(232±4) Ma和(241±33) Ma, 指示其原岩为新元古代花岗岩并经历了印支期变质作用; (2) 锆石δ18O值在局部范围内变化于-7.76‰~5.40‰之间, 低δ18O值岩浆锆石表明它们是从新元古代低δ18O值岩浆中直接结晶形成, 锆石δ18O值的局部变化表明其原岩岩浆的氧同位素组成具有不均一性, 指示低δ18O值岩浆源区物质曾经在地表与极度亏损18O的大气降水发生过不同程度的高温水岩反应; (3) 低δ18O值花岗片麻岩在印支期板块俯冲和折返过程中基本没有与外部发生显著的氧同位素交换, 在退变质作用过程中花岗片麻岩内部缓冲流体对原岩岩浆锆石的δ18O值影响不大.威海皂埠镇地区和东海青龙山地区的花岗片麻岩在原岩时代、变质时代和氧同位素组成等方面基本相同, 指示它们应具有相同的原岩性质, 并经历了相同的变质作用和水岩相互作用过程.因此, 极度亏损18O的新元古代双峰式基性-酸性岩浆岩可能分布于整个大别-苏鲁造山带.      

The petrogenesis of leucogranitic dykes intruding the northern Semail ophiolite, United Arab Emirates: field relationships, geochemistry and Sr/Nd isotope systematics

The Khawr Fakkan block of the Semail ophiolite (United Arab Emirates) exhibits a suite of 10–100 m scale metaluminous to peraluminous granitic intrusions, ranging from cordierite-andalusite-biotite monzogranites to garnet-tourmaline leucogranites, which intrude mantle sequence harzburgites and lower crustal sequence cumulate gabbros. Structural constraints suggest that the subduction of continental sedimentary material beneath the hot proto-ophiolite in an intra-oceanic arc environment led to granulite facies metamorphism at the subduction front and the generation of granitic melts which were emplaced up to the level of the ophiolite Moho. Compositions indicate the analysed granitoids were largely minimum melts that crystallised at variable a _H2O and pressures of 3 to 5 kbar. The LILE (Sr, Rb and Ba) covariation modelling suggests that the granitoids formed largely by the dehydration melting of muscovite rich metasediments. Initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of analysed dykes vary between 0.710 and 0.706 at initial ɛ_Nd values of between −6.3 and −0.5. Cogenetic units of a composite sill from Ra's Dadnah yield a Sm-Nd isochron age of 98.8 ± 9.5 Ma (MSWD = 1.18). Geochemical and isotopic characteristics of the analysed granitic intrusions indicate that the subducted continental material was derived from oceanic trench fill (Haybi complex) sediments, preserved as greenschist (Asimah area) to granulite facies (Bani Hamid area) ophiolitic metamorphic sole terranes. The Sr-Nd isotope systematics suggest that hybrid granitic melts were derived from pre-magmatic mixing of two contrasting subduction zone sources.

苏鲁超高压变质带东北端多种成因类型变基性岩:来自岩石学、同位素年代学及地球化学属性的制约

苏鲁超高压变质带是扬子板块与华北板块在三叠纪俯冲-碰撞的产物。变基性岩是苏鲁超高压变质带内出露最广泛的岩石类型之一,研究其岩石学、年代学、地球化学属性及成因机制,对于揭示扬子板块与华北板块之间的俯冲-碰撞-折返的动力学过程具有重要的科学意义。以(退变)榴辉岩为代表的超高压变质岩石广泛出露在威海-荣成一带,少量出露在乳山地区。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果显示,(退变)榴辉岩的原岩时代为792~760Ma,峰期榴辉岩相变质时代为243~226Ma,后期角闪岩相退变质时代为221~207Ma。非榴辉岩相变质的基性岩(麻粒岩和斜长角闪岩)主要出露在乳山地区,其原岩形成时代应不晚于古元古代(1939Ma),峰期麻粒岩相变质时代为1895~1870Ma,后期角闪岩相退变质时代为1848~1806Ma,与胶北地体变基性岩的原岩时代和变质时代十分相似。全岩地球化学研究结果表明,(退变)榴辉岩的原岩显示高Fe拉斑玄武岩的特点,根据其稀土和微量元素特征,可将(退变)榴辉岩进一步划分为A、B和C三组。在球粒陨石标准化稀土配分模式和原始地幔均一化蛛网图解上,A、B和C三组样品分别具有轻稀土弱亏损、轻稀土弱富集和轻稀土富集的特点。轻稀土富集或弱富集型(退变)榴辉岩的原岩地球化学性质与岛弧或大陆玄武岩相似,它们的源区可能与深部富集地幔或受流体交代的地幔楔存在密切的成因关系;而轻稀土亏损型(退变)榴辉岩的原岩可能来自于亏损地幔的部分熔融。由此可见,(退变)榴辉岩的原岩具有成因多样性的特点。乳山地区的基性麻粒岩和斜长角闪岩的原岩也具有高Fe拉斑玄武岩的地球化学属性,Al2O3与Mg O呈正相关变化,TiO_2、P_2O_5与MgO表现出一定程度的负相关性。绝大多数非榴辉岩相变质基性岩的球粒陨石标准化稀土配分模式和原始地幔均一化蛛网配分曲线具有微右倾或明显右倾的特点。上述特征表明,研究区绝大多数非榴辉岩相变质的基性岩原岩来自于富集地幔,少数来自于原始地幔或亏损地幔,并经历了斜长石和辉石的分离结晶以及不同程度的部分熔融过程。由此可见,乳山地区出露的非超高压变质基性岩的原岩具有与胶北地体(高压)基性麻粒岩相近的成因特点。岩石学、同位素年代学和地球化学特征的综合对比研究结果表明,在苏鲁超高压变质带东北端的威海-荣成-乳山地区,既存在与华北板块古老变质基底相关的变基性岩,也存在与华南板块北缘新元古代变质基底相关的超高压榴辉岩,表明三叠纪时期华北板块东南缘胶北地体的部分古老变质基底曾卷入到扬子板块与华北板块之间的俯冲-碰撞造山过程,随后与超高压岩石一起抬升折返,形成当今的构造混杂岩带。     

苏鲁地体超高压和非超高压花岗质片麻岩的判别标志——来自锆石中矿物包裹体的证据

中国大陆科学钻探工程预先导孔CCSD－PP1中存在两类不同性质的花岗质片麻岩，它们的岩相学性质，地球化学特征，锆石中的包体矿物组合和分布规律以及阴极发光图像均存在明显的判别，其中第一类花岗质片麻岩中的锆石呈完好的自形晶，不含任何超高压矿物包体，自晶体中心至边缘均具有典型的岩浆结晶生长环带，表明该类花岗质片麻岩未经历超高压变质作用，第二类花岗质征麻岩中的锆石呈半自形晶一它形晶，晶体核部保存典型的岩浆结晶生长环带，且无超高压矿物包体，具有继承性锆石的特点，而在晶体的过渡带及其与边缘的交界部位，普遍存在以柯石英粉 包体矿物，表明第二类花岗质片麻岩曾经历了超高压变质作用，且锆石在此变质过程进一步结晶生长，形成新的生长环带，该项成果对于深入探讨苏鲁超高压变质带的俯冲－折返机制及其与岩浆作用的相互关系以及对中国大陆科学钻探工程的选址和实施有着重要的科学意义。     

U-Pb chronology of the Northampton Complex, Western Australia – evidence for Grenvillian sedimentation, metamorphism and deformation and geodynamic implications

Conventional and SHRIMP U-Pb analyses of zircon, monazite, titanite and apatite from the high grade rocks of the Northampton Complex in Western Australia provide constraints on the timing of metamorphic processes and deformation events in the northern Darling Mobile Belt (western margin of the Archean Yilgarn Craton). Paragneisses and mafic volcanics and/or intrusions have undergone granulite facies metamorphism in a probable extensional tectonic setting prior to formation of W- to NW-verging folds and thrusts cut by normal shears (interpreted as late collapse structures) during the main deformation event (D₁). These structures are folded by open to tight folds with NW-striking axial surfaces developed in a second, NE-SW contractional event (D₂). Zircons from a mafic granulite provide an age of 1079 ± 3 Ma attributed to new zircon growth prior to, or at the peak of regional granulite facies metamorphism. Metamorphic monazites extracted from a paragneiss yield an identical age of 1083 ± 3 Ma. The similarity of ages between zircons from the mafic granulite (1079 ± 3 Ma) and monazites from the paragneiss (1083 ± 3 Ma) is interpreted to reflect fast cooling and/or rapid uplift, which is consistent with thrusting of the gneissic units during the first deformation event (D₁) associated with the onset of retrograde metamorphism. Granitic activity at 1068 ± 13 Ma was followed by intrusion of post-D₂ pegmatite (989 ± 2 Ma), which constrains the end of metamorphism and associated deformation. Cooling of the complex to about 500 °C is timed by the apatite age of 921 ± 23 Ma. SHRIMP U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from a paragneiss sample yield a maximum age of 2043 Ma, with no evidence of an Archean Yilgarn signature. A majority of ages between 1.6 and 1.9 Ga are consistent with derivation from the Capricorn Orogen on the northern margin of the Yilgarn Craton. Younger detrital zircons with 1150–1450 Ma ages, however, indicate an additional source that had undergone early Grenvillian igneous or metamorphic event(s) and also places a maximum age constraint upon deposition. The source of this clastic material may have been from within the southern Darling Mobile Belt or from Greater India (adjacent to the Northampton Complex in Rodinia reconstructions). This study documents an extended Grenvillian history, with basin formation, sedimentation, granulite facies metamorphism, contractional tectonics (two periods with orthogonal directions of shortening) and late pegmatite emplacement taking place between 1150–989 Ma on the western margin of the Yilgarn Craton. Ages recorded in this study indicate that the proposed global distribution of Grenvillian belts during assembly of the Rodinia supercontinent should be reassessed to include the Darling Mobile Belt.
