华北克拉通东北部新太古代晚期岩浆作用和地壳增生:锆石U-Pb-Hf同位素、微量元素和地球化学制约

辽西-辽南地区新太古代花岗质岩石的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学和微量元素及全岩地球化学和锆石Hf同位素研究为探讨华北克拉通东北部前寒武纪地壳生长和演化提供了制约。结果表明,辽西地区钓鱼台二长花岗岩和辽南地区城子坦片麻状石英闪长岩、安波花岗质片麻岩中锆石均发育岩浆生长环带,结合相对高的Th/U比值(0.24~1.75)和锆石稀土元素特征,暗示它们均为岩浆锆石。定年结果显示,钓鱼台二长花岗岩、城子坦片麻状石英闪长岩和安波花岗质片麻岩的原岩分别形成于2519±9Ma、2505±10Ma和2519±11Ma,即它们均形成于新太古代晚期。辽西-辽南地区新太古代花岗质岩石均具有高SiO2(61.85%~73.38%)、低MgO(0.36%~2.83%)、富Na2O+K2O(7.64%~10.86%)的特征,为准铝质-弱过铝质的高钾钙碱性系列岩石;富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素,亏损重稀土元素和高场强元素,发育弱的Eu负异常和Sr、P、Ti的亏损。岩浆锆石均具有正的εHf(t)值,介于0.4~5.9之间,tDM1变化于2595~2798Ma之间,峰值年龄为2740Ma,与华北克拉通最重要的一次地壳增生事件相一致。辽西-辽南地区新太古代花岗质岩石形成于板块俯冲的弧构造环境下新增生下地壳物质的部分熔融。     

华北陆块北缘崇礼-赤城地区晚古生代花岗岩类的锆石年龄和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成

本文报道冀北崇礼-赤城地区晚古生代花岗岩类岩石的锆石U-Pb年龄和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成特征.它们出露在华北陆块北缘的构造单元内,侵位于中高级变质基底岩石红旗营子群中.锆石LA-ICP-MS定年结果表明,海流图花岗岩岩体记录了两期岩浆作用,即299±3Ma和254±11Ma;镇宁堡片麻状二长花岗岩和白花沟片麻状黑云母石英二长闪长岩分别形成于287±1Ma和252±3Ma.这些晚古生代花岗岩类岩石具有较低的初始~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr值(0.7062～0.7076)、低的ε_(Nd)(t)值(-18.1至-9.6)和古老的Nd亏损地幔模式年龄(2.49～1.87Ga).其锆石的ε~(Hf)(t)值变化在-13.2至-7.4之间,Hf平均地壳模式年龄值(T_(DM)~C)在2.15Ga至1.79Ga之间.锆石Hf同位素特征与全岩Nd同位素特征指示古老的华北陆块地壳物质是花岗岩浆的主要物源.在形成时代和地球化学特征上,崇礼-赤城地区晚古生代花岗岩与出露在东部丰宁-承德地区的花岗岩类岩石既有相似性,又有不同之处,可能代表华北陆块北缘不同构造背景下岩浆作用的产物.     

内蒙古武川西乌兰不浪地区早前寒武纪变质基底锆石SHRIMP定年及Hf同位素组成

本文报道了华北克拉通西部武川西乌兰不浪地区太古宙变质基底的锆石SHRIMP年龄和Hf同位素组成。一个片麻状奥长花岗岩样品的锆石具核边结构,核部岩浆锆石和边部变质锆石的207Pb/206Pb加权平均年龄分别为2692±17Ma和2528±16Ma。对9个样品进行了锆石Hf同位素分析。新太古代早期(2692～2697Ma)片麻状奥长花岗岩(2个样品)的岩浆锆石的εHf(t)、tDM1(Hf)和tDM2(Hf)分别为4.78～8.83、2646～2780Ma和2632～2845Ma;新太古代二辉麻粒岩(2个样品)中的捕获锆石的εHf(t)、tDM1(Hf)和tDM2(Hf)分别为-2.30～8.62、2543～2954Ma和2529～3189Ma;新太古代变质深成岩(4个样品)的岩浆锆石的εHf(t)、tDM1(Hf)和tDM2(Hf)分别为-2.60～8.09、2529～2880Ma和2538～3089Ma;古元古代蓝晶石榴长英质片麻岩(1个样品)的碎屑锆石的εHf(t)、tDM1(Hf)和tDM2(Hf)分别为1.52～6.59、2432～2774Ma和2498～2925Ma。结合前人研究结果,可得出如下结论和认识:1)该区存在新太古代早期片麻状奥长花岗岩,太古宙岩石在新太古代晚期普遍遭受高级变质作用影响;2)新太古代早期为该区地壳形成主要时期,新太古代晚期则主要表现为陆壳物质再循环;3)作为阴山地块的典型代表,固阳-武川地区与华北克拉通东部太古宙基底十分类似,可能表明华北克拉通在新太古代晚期已成为统一的整体。     

辽西兴城地区早侏罗世花岗质岩浆活动——华北克拉通东部古太平洋俯冲作用的响应

华北克拉通东部中生代期间受到古太平洋板块俯冲并引发一系列的构造-岩浆-成矿作用,但古太平洋俯冲作用开始的具体时限仍未有定论。本文对辽西兴城地区中生代药王庙-磨盘山岩体进行了系统的岩相学研究、锆石U-Pb同位素定年、全岩地球化学和锆石原位Hf同位素测试分析,结果显示,花岗质岩石中岩浆成因锆石加权平均年龄为193～186 Ma,岩体侵位于早侏罗世;岩石组合为石英二长岩-花岗闪长岩-二长花岗岩-正长花岗岩;岩石全碱含量较高,属准铝-弱过铝质、高钾钙碱性系列,具有与Ⅰ型花岗岩类似的岩石地球化学特征;岩石相对富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素K、Pb等,而相对亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti等及P元素;岩浆成因锆石εHf(t)值为-12.94～-7.39,Hf同位素二阶段模式年龄为2.05～1.69 Ga,其初始岩浆可能来源于古老地壳的部分熔融并可能有幔源物质的参与。辽西兴城地区早侏罗世花岗岩岩石组合、岩石地球化学特征和与俯冲作用有关的活动陆缘花岗岩特征类似,岩石形成于古太平洋俯冲作用导致的活动陆缘构造背景下,结合区域研究资料,认为古太平洋对华北克拉通东部的俯冲作用开始于晚三叠世—早侏罗世,而早侏罗世花岗质岩浆活动是古太平洋板块对华北克拉通俯冲作用的响应。     

中条山同善地区虎坪杂岩锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素特征及地质意义

中条山地区是华北克拉通中部造山带的重要组成部分,区内前寒武纪地层广泛出露,新太古代地质体主要分布在北东走向的中条山主山脉和近东西向王屋山"同善天窗"内。"同善天窗"中主要出露虎坪花岗质片麻杂岩及宋家山群。虎坪杂岩中黑云斜长片麻岩的锆石U-Pb上交点年龄为(2 530±13)Ma,εHf(2 530Ma)为3.89～7.12;英云闪长岩207 Pb/206 Pb加权平均年龄为(2 551.4±2.7)Ma,εHf(t)为5.49～9.67。结合近年来华北克拉通新太古代晚期中部造山带镁铁质火山岩Nd同位素及遵化二辉橄榄岩的Hf同位素特征,推测华北克拉通中部造山带新太古代晚期地幔εHf(t)与εNd(t)具有一定的线性关系,中条山新太古代晚期地幔εHf(2.55Ga)为8.2～9.5,显示华北克拉通地幔在2.55Ga之前即发生过大规模的分异。虎坪变英云闪长岩幔源Hf同位素的特征需要新生玄武质地壳俯冲熔融,类似特征的花岗岩往往存在于洋内俯冲带或是洋脊俯冲的特殊构造环境;因此,虎坪英云闪长岩的产出可能代表了中条山2.55Ga的洋脊俯冲或是年轻洋壳的壳内俯冲事件。     

华北克拉通太古宙研究若干进展

华北克拉通存在3.8 Ga以上的地质演化历史。本文对近年来我们在鞍本、冀东、鲁西、胶东和阴山地区研究取得的进展作了简要介绍。在鞍山,深沟寺杂岩获得~3770 Ma,3600–3660 Ma,~3450 Ma,3310–3330 Ma和~3120 Ma锆石年龄,与白家坟杂岩和东山杂岩的岩浆事件十分类似。在冀东,对曹庄杂岩副变质斜长角闪岩和石榴黑云片麻岩定年,发现大量3.5–3.8 Ga碎屑锆石,并获得~2.5 Ga变质锆石年龄,冀东地区很可能存在始太古代岩石,可把曹庄杂岩形成时代限定在2.5 Ga和3.4 Ga之间。在鲁西,把太古宙基底从东北到西南依次划分为A、B、C三个岩带:A带主要为新太古代晚期的壳源花岗岩,B带主要为新太古代早期的岩石,C带主要为新太古代晚期的新生岩浆岩。鲁西是华北克拉通新太古代早期岩石分布最广泛的地区,也是华北克拉通确认新太古代早期和晚期表壳岩系共存的唯一地区。在胶东,规模巨大的2.9 Ga岩浆热事件被识别出来,它是强烈地幔添加作用的产物。可能作为岩浆板底垫托作用的结果,2.9 Ga岩石与2.7 Ga岩石一道,在新太古代晚期(~2.5 Ga)遭受强烈变质改造。在阴山地块,除2.5 Ga表壳岩和侵入岩外,还存在2.7 Ga英云闪长岩和2.6 Ga花岗岩。新获得的资料表明阴山地块与华北克拉通东部陆块具有类似的早前寒武纪地质演化历史。还对华北克拉通太古宙变质基底的锆石年龄和Hf同位素组成及全岩Nd同位素组成进行了统计研究。结合前人工作,初步总结了华北克拉通太古宙地质演化特点。认为华北克拉通与其它克拉通类似,新太古代早期—中太古代晚期是陆壳形成增生的主要时期,但最强烈广泛的构造热事件存在于新太古代晚期。在我们新提出的构造区划中,划分出了三个古陆块(2.6 Ga),即东部古陆块、南部古陆块和中部古陆块。     

山东鲁山地区新太古代壳源花岗岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年

山东鲁山地区新太古代壳源花岗岩主要包括粗粒钾长花岗岩、中—粗粒二长花岗岩和斑状二长花岗岩。根据SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年,其形成时代分别为2525Ma±13Ma、2517Ma±13Ma和2508Ma±20Ma,且常有残余锆石核存在。它们的形成与华北克拉通新太古代晚期(2.5~2.55Ga)强烈的构造热事件有关,标志着鲁西和华北古陆块克拉通化完成。     

鄂尔多斯盆地东胜地区砂岩型铀矿源区及其构造背景分析——来自碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素的证据

通过LA-(MC)ICP-MS碎屑锆石微区U-Pb定年和Hf同位素分析,对鄂尔多斯盆地东胜地区中侏罗统直罗组砂岩型铀矿层进行了同位素定年物源示踪研究。结果显示,四个样品的锆石年龄分布均表现出良好的一致性,总体呈现出2500～2300Ma,2000～1750Ma和450～250Ma三个主峰值年龄与2300～2000Ma、1750～1400Ma的次峰期年龄。年代学对比研究揭示,东胜地区砂岩型铀矿的物源主要来自华北克拉通西部陆块阴山地块和中部造山带北部的TTG片麻岩、麻粒岩和孔兹岩,以及海西期的大量火成岩体。碎屑锆石的εHf(t)值由负到正,变化范围较大,显示了古老地壳的再循环过程。其中,1.9Ga和2.5Ga的部分锆石其Hf分析点位于亏损地幔线附近,指示该时期有新生地壳的形成。锆石的二阶段Hf模式年龄分布范围3.8～0.7Ga,但集中于3.0～2.3Ga,在2.8～2.6Ga出现一峰值,说明华北克拉通地壳主要形成于中、新太古代。本文所获得的锆石Hf同位素模式年龄与华北克拉通西部陆块的Hf和Nd同位素模式年龄分布特征非常接近,而与东部陆块有很大差别,从而进一步证实了东、西部陆块在古元古代拼合之前是独立发展的。     

华北克拉通五台群LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素特征

通过对五台群石咀亚群金刚库组4个典型样品的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素研究,对五台群的形成时代及华北克拉通新太古代—古元古代期间的地壳演化进行了探讨。锆石U-Pb同位素测定结果表明,侵入金刚库组中的片麻状花岗岩锆石的U-Pb年龄为2548Ma,因此五台群的上限年龄约为2.5Ga;金刚库组黑云母石英片岩和片麻状石英闪长岩的原岩锆石U-Pb年龄分别为2663Ma和2636Ma,因此五台群的下限年龄约为2.7Ga。五台群的地质年龄为2.5~2.7Ga,属于新太古代。锆石Hf同位素研究结果表明,黑云母石英片岩和片麻状石英闪长岩的二阶段Hf模式年龄(tDM2)均为2.8Ga左右,指示2.8Ga左右是五台山区乃至整个华北克拉通地壳生长的重要时期;片麻状花岗岩tDM2平均为2.57Ga,与锆石结晶年龄非常接近,表明2.5Ga左右也是华北克拉通地壳的主要增生期。地壳的增长是幕式的,2.8Ga和2.5Ga都是华北克拉通地壳生长时期。     

内蒙赤峰楼子店拆离断层带下盘变形花岗质岩石的时代、成因及其地质意义——锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素证据

对内蒙赤峰楼子店拆离断层带下盘前人划为前寒武纪岩石的糜棱状花岗质岩石中锆石进行了U-Pb年龄测定和Hf同位素测试,结果显示其时代为晚古生代至中生代。楼子店扎兰营子片麻状花岗岩的锆石206Pb/238U年龄为253.6±1.2Ma,锆石εHf(t)值为-8.6～-14.6,锆石Hf同位素地壳模式年龄为1.8～2.2Ga;朝阳沟糜棱岩化片麻状花岗岩的锆石206Pb/238U年龄为150.43±0.79Ma,锆石εHf(t)值为-5.6～-14.9,锆石Hf同位素地壳模式年龄为1.6～2.1Ga;莫里海沟片麻状闪长岩的锆石206Pb/238U年龄为127.6±3.1Ma,锆石εHf(t)值为-5.1～-13.9,锆石Hf同位素地壳模式年龄为1.5～2.1Ga。不同岩性、不同形成年龄的3个样品的εHf(t)值主要为负值,说明这些岩石主要来自地壳岩石的部分熔融。2.2～1.5Ga的锆石Hf同位素两阶段模式年龄表明它们可能主要来源于华北克拉通下地壳物质的部分熔融。结合该区已经获得的锆石U-Pb年龄,将该区古生代至中生代花岗质岩浆作用划分为4个时期:早石炭世(327Ma)、二叠纪(285～252Ma)、中三叠世—早侏罗世(241～184Ma)、中侏罗世—早白垩世(163～125Ma)。早石炭世喇嘛洞混合花岗岩的产出对应于古亚洲洋古生代向南俯冲于华北板块的时期,二叠纪花岗岩是古亚洲洋最后闭合、蒙古弧与华北陆块北缘拼合与伸展有关的岩浆活动的产物,大面积的中三叠世—早侏罗世的花岗岩是西伯利亚与华北陆块碰撞后地壳伸展的记录,中侏罗世—早白垩世(163～125Ma)岩浆活动则发育在伸展构造背景中,与岩石圈减薄存在密切的成因联系。这些新年龄资料将为华北陆块北缘古生代—中生代的地质构造演化提供重要的年代学制约。     

Early Mesozoic Southward Subduction of the Eastern Mongol–Okhotsk Oceanic Plate: Evidence from Zircon U–Pb–Hf Isotopes and Whole‐rock Geochemistry of Triassic Granitic Rocks in the Mohe Area,NE China

In this paper, we present new U–Pb zircon ages, Hf isotope data and major and trace elements for Early Mesozoic granitic rocks in Mohe area in the Erguna Massif of northeast China to elucidate the southward subduction of the eastern Mongol–Okhotsk Oceanic plate in Early Mesozoic. Zircons from two representative intrusions, syenogranites and monzogranites, in the Mohe area are euhedral–subhedral in shape, display oscillatory growth zoning in cathodoluminescence (CL) images, and have Th/U ratios of 0.10–0.72, and in combination these features indicating that the zircons are of igneous origin. U–Pb zircon dating results demonstrate that the syenogranites formed at 245.1 ± 1.4 Ma and monzogranites formed at 212.2 ± 1.7 Ma. These granitic rocks are characterized by high SiO₂, Al₂O₃ and (Na₂O + K₂O), low TFeO, MgO, TiO₂ and P₂O₅ concentrations, belonging to the high‐K calc‐alkaline series. They are enriched in LREE and large ion lithophile elements (e.g., Rb, K, and Sr), depleted in HREE and high field strength elements (e.g., Nb, Ta, Th, and Ti), as well as very weak negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.48 ~ 1.01). Their zircon εHf(t) values range from −7.9 to −2.0 and range from 0.20 to 0.49, in response to their two‐stage Hf model ages (T_DM2) range from 1.40 Ga to 1.77 Ga range from 0.94 Ga to 1.24 Ga, respectively, indicating that primary magmas of syenogranites were derived from partial melting of newly accreted juvenile crustal material that formed from the enriched mantle during the Mesoproterozoic, monzogranites are generated by partial melting of newly accreted juvenile crustal material that formed from the depleted mantle during the Meso‐ to Neoproterozoic. We conclude, therefore, that the early Mesozoic granitic rocks of the Mohe area are associated with the continuous southward subduction of the Mongol–Okhotsk oceanic plate rather than the Paleo‐Asian and circum‐Pacific tectonic regimes.     

Geochronology and geochemistry of early Mesozoic magmatism in the northeastern North China Craton: Implications for tectonic evolution

This paper reports geochronological, geochemical, zircon U–Pb and Hf–O isotopic data of the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic intrusive rocks in the northeastern North China Craton (NCC), with the aim of reconstructing the tectonic evolution and constraining the spatial–temporal extent of multiple tectonic regimes during the early Mesozoic. Zircon U–Pb ages indicate that the early Mesozoic magmatism in the northeastern NCC can be subdivided into two stages: Late Triassic (221–219 Ma) and Early Jurassic (180–177 Ma). Late Triassic magmatism produced mainly granodiorite and monzogranite, which occur as a NE–SW-trending belt parallel to the Sulu–Jingji Belt. Geochemically, they are classified as high-K calc-alkaline and metaluminous to weakly peraluminous granitoids, and are enriched in large-ion lithophile elements (LILEs) and light rare earth elements (LREEs), and depleted in high-field-strength elements (HFSEs; e.g., Nb, Ta, Ti, and P) and heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), indicating an affinity to adakite. Combined with their ε_Hf(t) values (−17.9 to −3.2) and two-stage model ages (2387–1459 Ma), we conclude that the Late Triassic granitoid magma in the northeastern NCC was derived from partial melting of the thickened lower crust of the NCC and was related to deep subduction and collision between the NCC and the Yangtze Craton (YC). The Early Jurassic magmatism is composed mainly of monzogranites, which are classified as metaluminous, high-K calc-alkaline, and I-type granite. Their ε_Hf(t) values and two-stage model ages are −16.7 to −4.2 and 2282–1491 Ma, respectively. Compared with the Late Triassic granitoids, the Early Jurassic granitoids have relatively high HREE contents, similar to calc-alkaline igneous rocks in an active continental margin setting. These Early Jurassic granitoids, together with the coeval calc-alkaline volcanic rocks and gabbro–diorite–granodiorite association in the northeastern (NE) Asian continental margin, comprise a NNE–SSW-trending belt parallel to the NE Asian continental margin, indicative of the onset of Paleo-Pacific Plate subduction beneath Eurasia.     

延边地区明月沟组安山岩的形成时代与岩石成因:锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学及Hf同位素证据

为确定延边地区明月沟组火山岩的形成时代、成因及构造背景,对明月沟组中的安山岩开展了岩石学、SIMS锆石U-Pb年代学、岩石地球化学及锆石Hf同位素特征研究。结果表明:明月沟组安山岩中的锆石为岩浆成因锆石。代表安山岩形成时代的两件样品中锆石的~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄分别为(111±4)Ma(n=6,MSWD=3.2)和(113±3)Ma(n=6,MSWD=1.4),属早白垩世晚期。岩石地球化学特征上,明月沟组安山岩相对富钠,属高钾钙碱性系列,具有明显富集大离子亲石元素(K、Ba)和轻稀土元素,亏损重稀土元素和Ta、Nb等高场强元素的特征,结合其Hf同位素组成特征,暗示明月沟组安山岩的源岩应为受俯冲板片流体成份参与的亏损地幔。结合区域构造演化背景,明月沟组安山岩的形成应与早白垩世古太平洋板块向欧亚大陆板块的斜向俯冲作用相关。     

内蒙古哈珠地区晚古生代花岗岩类成因及其构造意义

系统研究了北山造山带北部哈珠地区花岗岩类的年代学、地球化学和锆石Hf同位素特征,并据此探讨了岩体的成因及其对晚古生代构造岩浆演化的制约.锆石LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb测年结果显示花岗闪长岩（298.6±1.7 Ma）和二长花岗岩（306.0±1.3 Ma）、碱长花岗岩（289.3±1.3 Ma）分别为晚石炭世晚期、早二叠世岩浆活动的产物.花岗闪长岩、二长花岗岩化学组成上表现为中钾钙碱性、Mg#值较低,分异程度中等（D.I.=79.2~86.9）,属准铝质、镁质岩石;碱长花岗岩则表现高硅、富碱、准铝,贫钙、镁、铁,分异程度高（D.I.=94.4~96.5）.三者均富集Rb、Ba、Th、U、La、Ce等,不同程度亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti、Sr、Eu.花岗闪长岩、碱长花岗岩样品的ε_Hf（t）均为正值,T_DMC主要集中于450~800 Ma.本文和最近获得的数据表明,俯冲板块脱水交代新生下地壳,并诱发新生地壳的部分熔融,形成晚石炭世花岗岩类;早二叠世由于后碰撞伸展作用导致岩石圈拉伸减薄,促使新生地壳部分熔融,再经高程度的分异演化形成本文碱长花岗岩.      

Zircon U–Pb–Hf isotopes and geochemistry analyses of the Huyu igneous rocks in northwestern Beijing,China: possible new evidence for the initial destruction of the North China Craton

The timing and extent of cratonic destruction are crucial to understanding the crustal evolution of the North China Craton (NCC). Zircon U–Pb–Hf isotope data and the whole-rock major and trace element characteristics of the Huyu igneous rocks in northwestern Beijing, China, provide possible new evidence for the initial destruction of the NCC. The igneous rocks occur as several sills and dikes, including lamprophyre, monzonite porphyry, and aplite. The lamprophyres have high Mg^# and K₂O contents. The monzonite porphyries have high Mg^#, high K₂O contents, and negative ε_Hf(t) values with zircon U–Pb ages of 225.5–227.7 Ma. These two types of rocks are both enriched in large ion lithosphere elements (LILEs) and light rare earth elements (LREEs) but are depleted in high field strength elements (HFSEs) and high rare earth elements (HREEs) and have almost no Eu anomalies and relatively high total rare earth element (ΣREE) contents. In contrast, the aplites exhibit high silica and K₂O contents, low MgO contents, and more negative ε_Hf(t) values with a zircon U–Pb age of 206.2 Ma. The aplites are also enriched in LILEs and LREEs but are depleted in HFSEs and HREEs, with strongly negative Eu, Ti, P, La, Ce, and Sr anomalies and relatively low ΣREE contents. These results indicate that the lamprophyres and monzonite porphyries represent a continuous cogenetic magma evolution series after melt derived from an enriched metasomatized lithospheric mantle experienced crust assimilation and fractional crystallization. The aplites were produced by the fractional crystallization of low-Mg parental magma derived from melting of the ancient Archaean crust. The occurrence of the Huyu intrusive rocks with many other plutons of similar ages on the northern margin of the NCC suggests that the northern NCC entered an intraplate extensional tectonic environment in the Late Triassic.     

Important role of hornblende fractionation in generating the adakitic magmas in Tongling,Eastern China: evidence from amphibole megacryst and cumulate xenoliths and host gabbros

ABSTRACT

Tongling, in eastern China, is an area well-known for intra-plate adakites. Here, we present the mineral chemistry and zircon U–Pb ages for amphibole cumulate xenoliths, the mineral chemistry of amphibole megacrysts, and the whole–rock chemistry, zircon U–Pb age and Sr–Nd isotopic compositions of host gabbros from Tongling. Zircon U–Pb dating yields a crystallization age of 120.6 ± 1.2 Ma (MSWD = 4.2) for the host gabbros, which are characteristically depleted in high field strength elements (Nb, Ta, and Ti) and enriched in large ion lithophile elements (Ba and Sr), with εNd (t) of ?3.00 to ?4.52 and initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of 0.7068–0.7072, suggesting an enriched mantle source. Parental melts, as estimated from average amphibole megacryst and cumulate compositions, have Mg# values of 26–33, are enriched in Ba, Th, U, and Nd, and depleted in Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf, and Ti, similar to 136 Ma mafic magmas in Tongling. Zircon U–Pb dating yields a crystallization age of 135.4 ± 1.0 Ma (MSWD = 1.6) for the amphibole cumulates. It is concluded that the Tongling adakitic rocks were formed by polybaric crystallization involving early high-pressure intracrustal fractional crystallization of cumulates comprising hornblende and clinopyroxene, and late low-pressure fractional crystallization of hornblende and plagioclase phenocrysts. The flat subduction of Pacific plate and its subsequent foundering during the Cretaceous may have triggered the generation of extensive adakitic magmas and lithospheric thinning in the Lower Yangtze Region.     

Tectonic nature of the NE Asian continental margin during the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous: constraints from the geochronology and geochemistry of igneous rocks in the NE North China Craton

ABSTRACT

This paper presents geochronological, geochemical, and zircon Hf–O isotope data for late Mesozoic intrusive rocks from the northeastern North China Craton (NCC), with the aim of constraining the late Mesozoic tectonic nature of the NE Asian continental margin. U–Pb zircon data indicate that the Late Mesozoic magmatism in the northeastern NCC can be subdivided into two stages: Late Jurassic (161 ? 156 Ma) and Early Cretaceous (125 ? 120 Ma). Late Jurassic magmatism consists mainly of monzogranites. These monzogranites display high Sr/Y ratios and the tetrad effect in their REE, respectively, and have negative ε_Hf(t) values (?22.6 to ?15.8). The former indicates that the primary magma was generated by partial melting of thickened NCC lower crust, the latter suggests that the monzogranites were crystallized from highly fractionated magma, with the primary magma derived from partial melting of lower continental crust. Combined with the spatial distribution and rock associations of the Late Jurassic granitoids, we conclude that the Late Jurassic magmatism in the eastern NCC formed in a compressional environment related to oblique subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate beneath the Eurasia. The Early Cretaceous magmatism consists mainly of granitoids and quartz diorites. The quartz diorites formed by mixing of melts derived from the mantle and lower crust. The coeval granitoids are classified as high-K calc-alkaline and metaluminous to weakly peraluminous series. Some of the granitoids are similar to A-type granites. The granitoid ε_Hf(t) values and T_DM2 range from ?14.3 to ?1.4 and 2089 to 1274 Ma, respectively. These values indicate that their primary magma was derived from partial melting of lower crustal material of the NCC, but with a contribution of mantle-derived material. We therefore conclude that Early Cretaceous magmatism in the northeastern NCC occurred in an extensional environment related to westward subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate beneath Eurasia.

Devonian rodingite from the northern margin of the North China Craton: mantle wedge metasomatism during ocean–continent convergence

The northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC) was an active convergent margin during Palaeozoic and preserves important imprints of magmatic and metasomatic processes associated with oceanic plate subduction. Here, we investigate the mafic–ultramafic rocks in the Xiahabaqin–Sandaogou complexes from the northern NCC including pyroxenite, hornblendites, hornblende gabbro, and their rodingitized counterparts within a serpentinite domain. We present petrological, zircon U–Pb geochronological, and geochemical data to constrain the nature and timing of the magmatic and metasomatic processes in the subduction zone mantle wedge. The rock suites investigated in this study are characterized by low contents of SiO₂, Na₂O, and K₂O, with high CaO, FeO, Fe₂O₃, and MgO. The rodingitized rocks show markedly high CaO and lower MgO compared to their ultramafic protolith, suggesting extensive post-magmatic infiltration of Ca-rich, Si-poor fluids derived by serpentinization of mantle peridotite. The enrichment of large ion lithophile and light rare earth elements such as Ba, Sr, K, La, and Ce with relative depletion of high field strength elements like Nb, Ta, Zr, and Hf in the ultramafic rocks collectively suggest metasomatism of a fore-arc mantle wedge by fluids released through dehydration of subducted oceanic slab and subduction-derived sediments. Dehydration and decarbonation leading to metasomatic fluid influx and serpentinization of mantle wedge peridotite account for the enriched geochemical signatures for the rodingitized rocks. The zircon grains in these rocks show textures indicating magmatic crystallization followed by fluid-controlled dissolution–precipitation. Magmatic zircons from altered pyroxenite, hornblendite, and rodingitized pyroxenite in Xiahabaqin yield protolith crystallization ages peaks at 396 Ma and 392 Ma and metasomatic grains show ages of 386 Ma, 378 Ma, and 348 Ma. The zircons from hornblendite and basaltic trachyandesite indicate protolith emplacement during 402–388 Ma. Metasomatic zircon grains from rodingitized hornblende gabbro in Sandaogou complex show a wide range of ages as 412 Ma, 398 Ma, 383 Ma, and 380 Ma. The common magmatic zircon ages peaks at 398–388 Ma in most of the rocks suggest a similar time for magma crystallization in the Xiahabaqin and Baiqi during Middle Devonian. Subsequently, repeated pulses fluids and melts resulted in metasomatic reactions in mantle wedge until early Permian. The Lu–Hf analysis of the zircon grains from these rocks display markedly negative εHf(t) values ranging from ?22.4 to ?7.7, suggesting magma derivation from an enriched, hydrated lithospheric mantle through fluid–rock interaction and mantle wedge metasomatism. Rodingitization processes are associated with exhumation of ultramafic mantle wedge rocks within a serpentinized subduction channel close to the subducted slab in response to slab roll back in a long-lasting subduction regime. This study offers insights into magmatic and metasomatic processes of ultramafic rocks in the fore-arc mantle wedge which were exhumed and accreted to an active continental margin during the southward subduction of the Palaeo-Asian oceanic lithosphere beneath the NCC.
