江西相山铀矿田中西部鹅湖岭组与打鼓顶组碎斑流纹岩特征对比及其成因探讨

以在相山中西部钻孔中揭露到的鹅湖岭组和打鼓顶组碎斑流纹岩为研究对象,从岩石矿物学、岩石地球化学、LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素等方面对比研究了这两套碎斑流纹岩.结果显示其矿物学组成较为接近,且具有相似的岩石地球化学特点,岩石富硅、高K₂O低Na₂O、低MgO;稀土元素配分曲线形态总体一致,均为富集轻稀土的右倾式,鹅湖岭组碎斑流纹岩Eu负异常更为明显,指示其可能经历了更高程度的斜长石结晶分离作用,或源区残留有更多的斜长石;打鼓顶组碎斑流纹岩轻重稀土分馏更为明显,可能与源区岩浆中的榍石、褐帘石和独居石含量有关;蛛网图上显示K、Ba、Sr等大离子亲石元素和Nb、Ti、P等高场强元素亏损,而Rb、Th、Nd等富集的特点.这些相似的岩石地球化学特征暗示两套碎斑流纹岩之间具有一定的同源性.锆石U-Pb测年结果显示鹅湖岭组与打鼓顶组碎斑流纹岩年龄分别为132.4±0.7 Ma和131.9±0.8 Ma;通过计算测得鹅湖岭组碎斑流纹岩ε_Hf（t）为-9.5~-4.5,两阶段模式年龄t_DMC为1 470~1 787 Ma,打鼓顶组碎斑流纹岩ε_Hf（t）为-14.2~-8.1,两阶段模式年龄t_DMC为1 704~2 087 Ma.以上岩石矿物学特征、岩石地球化学特征、锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素特征表明鹅湖岭组与打鼓顶组碎斑流纹岩具有一定的相似性,但同时又有差别,结合前人研究资料,认为鹅湖岭组和打鼓顶组碎斑流纹岩的形成可能具有同源性,二者均是在早白垩世弧后拉伸环境背景下,主要由古元古代-中元古带基底变质岩部分熔融而形成,可能伴随有不同程度的地幔物质的加入.      

江西相山铀矿田燕山期岩浆活动的多阶段性及其意义

相山铀矿田是我国最大的火山岩型铀矿田,区域内主要出露有碎斑熔岩、流纹英安岩、花岗斑岩等火山岩—潜火山岩。前人对这三种岩浆岩进行了较为详尽的年代学研究。近年来随着相山西部深部钻探的开展,发现钻孔中由上至下出现‘碎斑熔岩—流纹英安岩—碎斑熔岩’的现象,现有的年代学结果还不能给予合理的解释。为此,我们对相山西部典型钻孔中的上下两层碎斑熔岩及其间的流纹英安岩,以及相山北部和西部钻孔中的三个花岗斑岩样品进行了详细的年代学研究,结果显示,流纹英安岩的锆石206Pb/238 U加权平均年龄为139.7±1.0Ma,碎斑熔岩（上层）的加权平均年龄为135.3±0.9Ma,碎斑熔岩（下层）的加权平均年龄为129.9±0.9Ma,不同地点的三个花岗斑岩样品的加权平均年龄分别为125.4±1.0Ma, 134.4±1.3Ma,148.8±2.3Ma,结合上下两层碎斑熔岩的镜下特征,认为下层碎斑熔岩是在上层碎斑熔岩形成后沿流纹英安岩之下的凝灰岩接触面超浅层侵入形成,从而在剖面上显示出“上老下新”的特征。这些结果表明相山燕山期岩浆活动持续时间较长（长达约24Ma）,为成矿有利因素,而不是前人认为的相山燕山期岩浆活动是一次短暂而集中的活动。对相山火山—侵入杂岩锆石的Hf同位素研究表明,各岩石样品的锆石εHf(t)值相近,分布在-10.6~-4.9之间,锆石的Hf模式年龄TDM2介于1478~1844Ma之间,本研究认为相山火山—侵入杂岩体可能起源于相山深部中元古代岩地壳所衍生的基底副变质岩部分熔融。     

内蒙古西太仆寺破火山碎斑熔岩与流纹岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和地球化学特征

内蒙古西太仆寺破火山内碎斑熔岩与流纹岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果分别为140.1±0.6Ma和138.3±0.9Ma,为早白垩世初期岩浆活动的产物。2类岩石具有一致的地球化学特征,都表现出高硅,富碱,贫钙、镁、钛、磷的特征,属于高钾钙碱性系列;铝饱和指数A/CNK=0.99~1.13,主要为过铝质岩石。岩石富集Rb、Th、U等大离子亲石元素,强烈亏损Ti、Nb、Ta等高场强元素,强烈负Eu异常(δEu=0.06~0.24),稀土元素配分图呈右倾的海鸥型。Ba、Sr也表现出强烈亏损的特征。此外,岩石还具有高的TFeO/MgO(5.64~43.29)和104×Ga/Al(2.96~4.41)值。地球化学特征表明,碎斑熔岩和流纹岩具有铝质A型花岗岩的特征,可能是在区域岩石圈伸展环境下,深部软流圈的上涌和幔源镁铁质岩浆的底侵作用,对上覆地壳直接的加热作用促使其部分熔融形成的。     

河南桐柏围山城地区主要侵入岩年代学与地球化学特征

河南省桐柏围山城地区位于华北板块与扬子板块之间的秦岭造山带与大别造山带的衔接部位,本文对产于该区的主要侵入岩体开展了锆石SHRIMP测年和岩石地球化学特征研究。总共对8件样品开展了SHRIMP测年,其中产于破山银矿区的云斜煌岩获得的锆石SHRIMP测年结果为461.8 ± 9.7 Ma,MSWD＝1.10,表明其形成于加里东中期。在桃园岩体及其南部混染带内产出的变辉长岩、石英闪长岩、花岗闪长岩和黑云母花岗岩共获得了6组年龄数据,分别是431.7 ± 8.3 Ma （MSWD＝0.76）、432.3 ± 7.5Ma （MSWD＝0.45）、470.3 ± 8.3Ma（MSWD＝1.3）、431.5 ± 8.2 Ma（MSWD＝1.6）、433 ± 11 Ma（MSWD＝1.8）和426.7 ± 9.1 Ma（MSWD＝1.6）,说明桃园岩体是加里东晚期岩浆侵位产物。梁湾岩体花岗闪长岩和二长花岗岩的锆石SHRIMP测年结果分别为132.5 ± 2.3Ma （MSWD＝1.5）和137.0 ± 3.4Ma （MSWD＝1.9）,为燕山中期。锆石SHRIMP测年结果表明,围山城地区主要侵入岩的岩浆活动集中在三个时期,分别是460-470Ma,430Ma和135Ma。侵入岩体的岩石地球化学研究结果表明,与加里东晚期花岗岩相比,燕山中期花岗岩明显富K、Nb和Rb贫Na和Y。Pb-Sr-Nd同位素示踪研究表明,加里东晚期花岗岩明显富含放射性成因Pb,其206Pb/204Pb值为19.342～19.712,平均值19.512,（87Sr/86Sr）i值较低,变化于0.70211~0.704899,εNd (t)值均为正值,变化范围为+3.55～+7.53,显示成岩物质来源较深,可能来自亏损地幔;而燕山中期花岗岩的放射性成因Pb含量低,206Pb/204Pb值为17.278～17.492,平均值17.370, （87Sr/86Sr）i值相对较高,为0.707004~0.716968,εNd (t)值均为较大负值,变化范围为-16.95～-9.76,显示成岩物质来源较浅,可能来自下地壳。围山城地区加里东晚期花岗岩与燕山中期花岗岩岩石地球化学特征上的差别与它们形成时所处的大地构造环境有关,加里东晚期花岗岩形成于弧后环境,而燕山中期花岗岩则形成于华北与扬子两大板块碰撞后的岩石圈减薄与伸展构造环境。     

内蒙古正蓝旗地区中生代火山岩锆石U-Pb年龄与板内伸展环境成因讨论

内蒙古东南部正蓝旗地区中生代火山岩广泛出露,岩性主要包括流纹岩、粗面岩、碎斑熔岩、熔结凝灰岩以及黑曜岩等,以碎斑熔岩发育为显著特征。本次研究测得流纹岩、霏细质碎斑熔岩及熔结凝灰岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄分别为(141.4±0.7)Ma、(141.6±0.6)Ma和(139.4±0.7)Ma,三者在误差范围内一致,表明研究区火山活动(从溢流、爆发到侵出)持续的时间很短,时代为早白垩世早期,属张家口组。除个别样品,正蓝旗地区晚期侵出的碎斑熔岩与早期溢流相的流纹岩、粗面岩在地球化学特征上极为一致,均为富硅富钾,贫Ca、Mg和Al,属粗面岩-流纹岩组合,部分样品具有碱性流纹岩的特征;富集Rb、Th、U等大离子亲石元素,而强烈亏损Ba、Sr、Ti、P;轻稀土元素(LREE)富集,Eu强烈亏损,轻、重稀土元素分馏较强(LaN/YbN主要介于6.87~42.74)。碎斑熔岩体相较于早期熔岩更加富硅贫碱,表明流纹岩-粗面岩喷溢之后,岩浆房中剩余岩浆又经过一定程度的分异,向更为富硅贫碱方向演化之后侵出地表。正蓝旗地区火山岩具有A型花岗岩的特征,为A_1型为主,A_1—A_2过渡的地球化学特征。碎斑熔岩体与流纹岩-粗面岩的Nb/Ta介于10.46~24.02,在地壳和地幔岩浆Nb/Ta比值之间;Y/Nb、Ti/Yb、Ti/Zr均体现出壳幔混合的特点;Rb/Sr介于0.61~64.51,为壳源特征。因此,研究区火山岩是造山后向板内非造山转换并以板内非造山为主的伸展环境下,经较为强烈地幔物质改造的下地壳部分熔融的产物。     

6710铀矿区火成岩的地球化学特征及其构造和成矿意义

火山岩型铀矿床通常与酸性至中性的火山岩类有关 ,而 6 710铀矿区的铀矿化与双峰式火山岩和基底花岗岩有紧密的空间关系。研究表明该套双峰式火山岩中玄武岩的Rb Sr等时线年龄为173± 9 7Ma ,流纹岩为 16 4 8± 0 57Ma。前者的不相容元素地球化学特征与板内拉斑玄武岩相一致 ;后者为准铝质 (ACNK =0 88- 0 96 ) ,稀土元素 (ΣREE :(2 50 33- 2 95 99)× 10 - 6 )和高场强元素 (Y ,Zr,Nb等 )的含量较高 ,与A型花岗岩的地球化学特征相似。基底花岗岩的Rb Sr等时线年龄为 2 4 9 9± 5 5Ma ,岩石为过铝质 (ANKC =1 18- 1 2 6 ) ,富集LREE((La/Lu) N=2 8 51-55 0 9)和大离子亲石元素 (Rb ,Th ,U等 ) ,与同造山S型花岗岩的地球化学特征一致。双峰式火山岩表明该区在燕山早期具有拉张裂解的地球动力学背景 ,基底花岗岩代表了海西晚期的挤压造山环境。它们分别为本区铀成矿提供了矿化剂 (CO2 - 3)和铀源。     

苏北踢球山榴辉岩演化的同位素年代学证据

采用Sm Nd同位素定年方法 ,测得江苏北部新沂地区踢球山三个榴辉岩岩体时代为 :2 2 1.6± 8.4Ma ,2 13.6± 9.2Ma和 2 16 .6± 8.1Ma;εNd(t)分别为 - 2 .9,- 2 .9和 - 3.0。采用Rb Sr定年方法得到其中一个榴辉岩的年龄为 2 0 1± 2 1Ma ;87Sr/ 86Sr =0 .70 5 35± 37。Sm Md年龄被看作为踢球山超高压变质之后板块折返过程中的高压榴辉岩相重结晶阶段年龄。Rb Sr年龄反映了踢球山榴辉岩体的板块折返过程中的角闪岩相退变质阶段开始年龄。为中朝板块与扬子板块碰撞时代主要发生在晚三叠世的观点提供了依据     

内蒙古毛登地区碎斑熔岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄与地球化学特征

在内蒙古毛登地区发现碎斑熔岩发育,其具有熔岩和熔结凝灰岩的双重结构。毛登碎斑熔岩岩体呈近圆形穹状,可划分出中心相、过渡相和边缘相,不同相带岩石特征明显。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为139.20Ma±0.73Ma,属早白垩世火山—岩浆活动的产物。岩石富硅、碱,轻稀土元素富集,Eu强烈亏损,富集Rb、Th,亏损Ba、K,与同期流纹岩的地球化学特征相同,研究表明其形成于造山后板内伸展环境。     

胶西北仓上、三山岛岩体二长花岗岩地球化学、锆石U-Pb年龄及Lu-Hf同位素研究

三山岛金成矿带位于胶西北金矿集区的西端,是胶东重要的金矿带,赋存有三山岛北部海域、三山岛、西岭、新立、仓上等大型、特大型金矿床,金矿的主要控矿围岩为二长花岗岩。本文通过对仓上金矿区片麻状黑云二长花岗岩、三山岛北侧似斑状黑云二长花岗岩的岩石地球化学、锆石LA- ICP- MS定年和Lu~Hf同位素组成测试和研究,讨论了该类岩石的地球化学类型、形成时代、岩浆源区与成因。岩石地球化学研究表明二长花岗岩具有高的SiO2(70.19%～76.36%)、全碱（Na2O+K2O=7.05%～8.19%）、Ba（>1573×10-6）、Sr（>738×10-6）、（La/Yb）N（>26.44）、Sr/Y（>121）、LILE /HFSE,低的Al2O3（13.41%～15.61%）、MgO（0.1%～0.84%）、Y（<6.05×10-6）、Yb（<0.53×10-6）以及相对平坦的HREE,无明显的铕异常,明显亏损Nb、Ta、P、Ti等高场强元素,显示出典型的高Ba-Sr花岗岩所具有的地球化学特征,属高Ba- Sr花岗岩。锆石LA- ICP- MS定年结果表明仓上、三山岛二长花岗岩年龄分别为131±1Ma和127±2Ma,与郭家岭型花岗岩具有相似的主量元素组成及稀土和微量元素分布模式,表明仓上、三山岛岩体为郭家岭型花岗岩。仓上、三山岛二长花岗岩岩浆锆石εHf(t)值为-25.2～-18.1,对应的Hf二阶段模式年龄TDM2为2.77～2.33Ga。从岩石学、地球化学和Lu- Hf同位素特征,并结合前人对郭家岭花岗岩成因研究成果,笔者认为仓上、三山岛二长花岗岩是陆壳酸性岩浆与幔源中基性岩浆混合而成。以壳源为主（主要来源于前寒武纪变质基底岩石,以新太古代-古元古代岩石为主）,由幔源中基性岩浆混合后经分异作用而成的同熔深成型花岗岩,总体上,形成于较高温度、深度的环境。     

广西姑婆山花岗岩单颗粒锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年及全岩Sr-Nd同位素研究

LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素年龄测定表明,组成广西姑婆山花岗岩的东、西岩体和里松岩体的年龄分别为160.8±1.6Ma、165.0±1.9Ma、163.0±1.3Ma,在误差范围内基本一致,说明整个姑婆山岩体是同一时代的产物,是燕山中期第一阶段华南大规模陆壳重熔型花岗岩浆活动的产物。姑婆山花岗岩中的各个岩体虽然形成于同一时代,但它们之间在岩石学、地球化学特征方面有一定的差异。除了主微量元素、稀土元素特征有所不同外,Rb-Sr、Sm-Nd同位素特征研究表明姑婆山西岩体的粗粒花岗岩、东岩体、里松岩体及其包体的平均(87Sr/86Sr)i=0.7064、εNd(t)平均为-3.03,反映它们的源区有较多地幔物质组分参与;而姑婆山西岩体的细粒花岗岩的(87Sr/86Sr)i=0.7173、εNd(t)平均为-5.00,具强烈的Eu亏损、高Rb/Sr值等特征,它的源区可能是由一个相对古老地壳组分和年轻地幔组分组成的混合源区。此外,姑婆山东岩体(GP-1)中发现的继承锆石的206Pb/238U年龄为806.4Ma,与杭州—诸广山—花山花岗岩带(HZH)上的赣北九岭堇青石花岗岩、广西英桥混合花岗岩的年龄相似,为HZH带新元古代的岩浆活动提供了锆石年代学方面的依据。     

辽北法库地区层状变质岩系锆石SHRIMP年龄及其地质意义

辽北法库地区广泛分布有变质安山岩-英安岩-大理岩夹变质碎屑岩建造所组成的层状变质岩系地层,属古生代造山带的重要组成部分,本文称之为早二叠世佟家屯岩组、照北山岩组和石炭纪磨盘山组.空间上该套地层被二叠纪十间房岩体花岗闪长岩（锆石SHRIMP年龄为284±3 Ma）、五龙山杂岩（锆石SHRIMP年龄为265±4 Ma）和侏罗纪实红土墙岩体（Pb-Pb年龄为221.7±25.71 Ma）所侵.其中佟家屯岩组变质英安岩锆石SHRIMP年龄为267.3±2.7 Ma,代表了火山喷发熔岩形成年龄.根据地质单元之间的时空接触关系以及辽北地区区域地层对比,将该套地层时代归属为早二叠世.     

湖南九嶷山复式花岗岩体SHRIMP锆石定年及其地质意义

应用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb法获得九嶷山复式花岗岩中的主要岩体形成年龄为:雪花顶花岗岩(432±21)Ma、金鸡岭花岗岩(156±2)Ma、砂子岭花岗岩(157±1)Ma和西山火山-侵入杂岩(156±2)Ma。结果显示砂子岭岩体属燕山早期而非印支期;西山火山-侵入杂岩属燕山早期而非燕山晚期。花岗岩中继承锆石复杂,其形成时代为1579Ma、2108Ma和2669Ma,提供了九嶷山地区存在古-中元古代,甚至太古代基底的年龄信息。新元古代(912Ma)锆石的大量出现为扬子陆块和华夏陆块碰撞带通过本区的认识提供了一个间接证据。     

U-Pb SHRIMP zircon dating of andesite from the Dolomite area (NE Italy): geochronological evidence for the early onset of Permian Volcanism in the eastern part of the southern Alps

The Athesian Volcanic District (AVD), a thick sequence of andesitic to rhyolitic lava and ignimbrite, overlies both the Variscan basement of the Dolomites and, where present, the continental basal conglomerate of Upper Carboniferous(?) to Early Permian age. This volcanic activity is known to mark the margin of the intra-Pangea megashear system between Gondwana and Laurasia, the onset age of which is determined in this study.SHRIMP U-Pb dating on zircon from Ponte Gardena/Waidbruck (Isarco/Eisack valley) basaltic andesite yields an age of 290.7 ± 3 Ma, providing the oldest record of andesite volcanic activity yet documented in the AVD. Two younger dates (279.9 ± 3.3 and 278.6 ± 3.1 Ma) obtained for the andesitic necks of M. dei Ginepri (Eores/Aferer valley) and Col Quaternà (western Comelico), respectively, probably represent a second pulse of andesite magmatic activity.Near Chiusa/Klausen, the volcanoclastic deposits at the bottom of the Funes/Villnöss valley volcano-sedimentary complex only contain detrital zircons, dated at 469 ± 6 Ma; these probably derive from erosion of Paleozoic porphyroids. Other zircons from the same sediments and inherited cores of magmatic andesite crystals give Paleoproterozoic (1953.6 ± 22.1, 1834.6 ± 69.3, 1773.6 ± 25.1 Ma), Early Neoproterozoic (1015 ± 14 Ma) and Late Neoproterozoic (728.4 ± 9.6, 687.6 ± 7.6 Ma) ages. These ancient detrital and inherited zircon ages fit the model that envisages the Dolomite region as being tectonically coherent with Africa, at least until the Lower Permian.     

北秦岭西段冥古宙锆石(4.1～3.9Ga)年代学新进展

2007年王洪亮等报道在北秦岭西段火山岩中获得一粒年龄为4079±5Ma的冥古宙捕虏锆石。之后,对这一发现开展了深入的调查研究,我们除利用SHIMP技术方法对原4079Ma的锆石进行验证外,新获得了两粒~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄为4007±29Ma和3908±45Ma捕获的变质成因锆石,表明早在4.0Ga已经有变质作用的发生,这或许说明在冥古宙时期地球已经具有相当规模和厚度的地壳。同时开展的岩石学研究表明,蕴含古老锆石的母岩属于火山碎屑熔岩类而不是火山熔岩。     

Isotopic age of the Permian-Triassic basaltic magmatism in the Polar Cis-Urals: Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd data

Two basaltic lava flows are confined to the Permian-Triassic boundary in succession of continental deposits of the Polar Cis-Urals that is confirmed by Rb-Sr (250 ± 15 Ma) and Sm-Nd (249 ± 17 Ma) dates obtained for the lower flow in the Paemboi-Khalmer-Yu area of the Korotaikha depression. The analyzed basalts are correlative in age with Siberian plateau basalts (250 Ma) and the Permian-Triassic boundary dated at 251 Ma in the Meishan section of marine deposits in South China.     

Tectono-thermal evolution of the India-Asia collision zone based on<Superscript>40</Superscript>Ar-<Superscript>39</Superscript>Ar thermochronology in Ladakh,India

New⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar thermochronological results from the Ladakh region in the India-Asia collision zone provide a tectono-thermal evolutionary scenario. The characteristic granodiorite of the Ladakh batholith near Leh yielded a plateau age of 46.3 ± 0.6 Ma (2σ). Biotite from the same rock yielded a plateau age of 44.6 ± 0.3 Ma (2σ). The youngest phase of the Ladakh batholith, the leucogranite near Himya, yielded a cooling pattern with a plateau-like age of ∼ 36 Ma. The plateau age of muscovite from the same rock is 29.8 ±0.2 Ma (2σ). These ages indicate post-collision tectono-thermal activity, which may have been responsible for partial melting within the Ladakh batholith. Two basalt samples from Sumdo Nala have also recorded the post-collision tectono-thermal event, which lasted at least for 8 MY in the suture zone since the collision, whereas in the western part of the Indus Suture, pillow lava of Chiktan showed no effect of this event and yielded an age of emplacement of 128.2 ±2.6 Ma (2σ). The available data indicate that post-collision deformation led to the crustal thickening causing an increase in temperature, which may have caused partial melting at the base of the thickened crust. The high thermal regime propagated away from the suture with time.     

Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous Plutonism in the Northern Part of the Precambrian North China Craton: SHRIMP Zircon U–Pb Dating of Diorites and Granites from the Yunmengshan Geopark, Beijing

The Yunmengshan Geopark in northern Beijing is located within the Yanshan range. It contains the Yunmengshan batholith, which is dominated by two plutons: the Yunmengshan gneissic granite and the Shicheng gneissic diorite. Four samples of the Yunmengshan gneissic granite give SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages from 145 to 141 Ma, whereas four samples of the Shicheng gneissic diorite have ages from 159 Ma to 151 Ma. Dikes that cut the Yunmengshan diorite record SHRIMP zircon U–Pb age of 162±2 and 156±4 Ma. The cumulative plots of zircons from the diorites show a peak age of 155 Ma, without inherited zircon cores, and the peak age of 142 Ma for granite is interpreted as the emplacement age of the Yunmengshan granitic pluton, whose igneous zircons contain inherited zircon cores. The data presented here show that there were two pulses of magmatism: early diorites, followed c13 Ma later by true granites, which incorporated material from an older continental crust.     

Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd Geochronology of the Eppawala Metamorphic Rocks and Carbonatite,Wanni Complex,Sri Lanka

Petrological studies on the surrounding metamorphic rocks of the Eppawala carbonatite body, Wanni complex, Sri Lanka, revealed that these rocks had been metamorphosed under amphibolite to granulite facies conditions. Garnet-sillimanite-biotite gneiss shows lower range of metamorphic temperature (730–770°C) than the migmatite gneiss (750–780°C) and the pressure varies from 6.6–7.8 kbar to 5.6–6.4 kbar respectively. The metamorphic age of the garnet-sillimanite-biotite gneiss and migmatite gneiss dated 607±23 Ma and 626±16 Ma, respectively for mineral — whole rock isochron in Sm-Nd system. These ages are compatible with the ages of regional high-grade metamorphism occurred 610–550 Ma in the three crustal units in Sri Lanka.Rb-Sr system for biotite, apatite and whole-rock fractions suggests 493±5 Ma for the Eppawala carbonatite body. This age indicates the cooling age of the biotite. The presence of non-crystalline carbonatite matrix and large hexagonal apatite crystals suggests a slow cooling history. Further, low closure temperature of biotite in Rb-Sr system suggests that the intrusion age of carbonatite body should be more than 493 Ma, but non-metamorphosed nature provides evidence that the intrusion age of the carbonatite body should be less than the period of regional metamorphism 610–550 Ma. Therefore, Eppawala carbonatite body has a strong possibility to be a late to post magmatic intrusion. The other late to post magmatic intrusions in the Wanni complex and Highland complex are dated between 580–550 Ma. Therefore, the most probable intrusion age of the Eppawala carbonatite body is suggested to be around 550 Ma.     

广东阳春锡山钨锡矿床成岩成矿年代学研究

为了精确厘定锡山钨锡矿床成岩成矿时代,本文分别对锡山岩体斑状二长花岗岩和矿体开展了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb和石英Rb-Sr年代学研究,获得的锆石U-Pb年龄为103±3Ma,石英矿物Rb-Sr等时线年龄为94±12Ma,两者在测定误差内一致,表明锡山岩体晚阶段形成的花岗岩在时间和空间上与成矿作用有明显的耦合关系,其成岩成矿作用发生在早白垩世晚期。锡山成岩成矿的动力学背景应与早白垩世晚期南岭地区的岩石圈伸展拉张引发的大规模岩浆活动有关。     

Proterozoic geology and regional correlation of the Ghanzi-Makunda area,western Botswana

The Ghanzi-Makunda area exposes three main Proterozoic assemblages. The oldest rocks belong to the Palaeoproterozoic (Eburnian) Okwa Basement Complex, which consists of porphyritic rhyolitic felsite and granitoids emplaced at 2055±4 Ma. A volcanic sequence named the Kgwebe volcanic complex consists of metarhyolites and metabasalts with interbedded tuff and agglomerate. These metavolcanic rocks represent a bimodal suite of continental tholeiites and high K rhyolites linked to the evolution of the Mesoproterozoic Kibaran orogenic system. Siliciclastic and carbonate rock successions of the Neoproterozoic to early Palaeozoic Ghanzi-Chobe Belt unconformably overlie the Mesoproterozoic Kgwebe volcanic complex. The Ghanzi-Chobe Supergroup comprises the Ghanzi Group and the Okwa Group. In Namibia, felsic lavas with UPb zircon ages of ca 750 Ma occur at the top of lithological units correlated to the Ghanzi Group. The deposition of the Ghanzi Group occured after 1020 Ma and before 750 Ma. In the Okwa Group, detrital zircons extracted from Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks of the Takatswaane Formation yielded the following dates: 1887±14 Ma, 1246±4 Ma, 1054±5 Ma, 627±6 Ma and 579±12 Ma. The age of 579 ± 12 Ma is considered to represent the maximum depositional age of the Okwa Group. Based on the data in this paper, as well as lithological similarities, the Ghanzi Group is correlated with the Nosib Group of the Damara Belt, while the Okwa Group is correlated with the Nama Group in Namibia.
