西藏双湖古近纪唢呐湖组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄与古海拔高度

青藏高原北部古近纪晚期大面积发育唢呐湖组湖相沉积,主要为砖红色、棕色、灰白色泥灰岩、泥岩、粉砂岩互层,夹石膏层和灰岩,广泛出露于羌塘中部、可可西里、东昆仑南部,形成时代为41.1±0.8~32.5!0.3Ma,向可可西里东部过渡为雅西错群。对双湖采坑唢呐湖组上部湖相沉积地层进行详细观测和系统取样,对泥灰岩和粘土岩样品选碎屑锆石作LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素测年,对不同层位泥灰岩、粘土岩、灰岩样品作碳、氧同位素分析,结合区域地质相关资料,良好揭示了碎屑锆石来源、沉积地貌环境及古海拔高度。双湖采坑唢呐湖组碎屑锆石绝大部分为岩浆锆石,统计分析碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄,发现存在4期峰值,分别为280~200Ma、780~830Ma、1920~1790Ma、2600~2360Ma;对比区域地质和岩浆岩测年资料,推断晚二叠世—三叠纪(280~200Ma)碎屑锆石主要来自于羌中隆起岩浆岩,新元古代中期(~800Ma)、古元古代晚期(~1800Ma)、太古宙末期—古元古代初期(~2500Ma)碎屑锆石主要来自于东昆仑造山带。双湖采坑碎屑锆石部分测点U-Pb同位素呈线性分布,交点年龄及谐和年龄为1883!51~1837!12Ma、2483!24~2520!37Ma,对应东昆仑造山带早前寒武纪2期岩浆热事件年龄。根据唢呐湖组湖相沉积空间分布和碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄统计分布,推断青藏高原北部古近纪晚期发育自北向南流动的古水系,古洪流将东昆仑造山带出露地表的前寒武纪基底岩浆锆石自北向南长距离搬运,汇聚于双湖古湖盆并沉积于唢呐湖组。根据双湖采坑唢呐湖组湖相沉积碳同位素和氧同位素,估算双湖古湖盆35~34Ma古海拔高度为3427~3510m,这与应用Airy均衡模式根据地壳厚度和密度变化估算的古海拔高度在误差范围内基本吻合。     

Depositional environment and provenance of the upper Permian–Lower Triassic Tianquanshan Formation,northern Tibet: implications for the Palaeozoic evolution of the Southern Qiangtang,Lhasa, and Himalayan terranes in the Tibetan Plateau

Abstract

This article reports the depositional environment and provenance for the Tianquanshan Formation in the Longmuco–Shuanghu–Lancangjiang suture zone, and uses these to better understand the tectonic evolution of this region. Zircons in the andesite of the Tianquanshan Formation yielded concordia ages of 246, 247, and 254 Ma, indicating that the Tianquanshan Formation formed during the late Permian–Early Triassic. The Tianquanshan Formation consists of flysch and ocean island rock assemblages, indicating that the Longmuco–Shuanghu–Lancangjiang Palaeo-Tethys Ocean continued to exist as a mature ocean in the late Permian–Early Triassic. The detrital zircons in the greywackes of the Tianquanshan Formation yielded peak ages of 470–620, 710–830, 910–1080, 1450–1660, and 2400–2650 Ma, indicating the provenance of the Tianquanshan Formation was either Indian Gondwana or terranes that have an affinity with Indian Gondwana in the Tibetan Plateau (i.e. the Southern Qiangtang, Lhasa, and Himalayan terranes). The Ordovician quartzites, Carboniferous sandstones, Carboniferous–Permian diamictites, and the Upper Permian–Lower Triassic greywackes in the Southern Qiangtang, Lhasa, and Himalayan terranes all contain detrital zircons with youngest ages of ca. 470 Ma, indicating their source areas have been in a stable tectonic environment since the Ordovician, and this inference is supported by the continuous deposition in a littoral–neritic passive margin in these regions from the Ordovician to the lower Permian. Combining the present results with regional geological data, we infer that the Southern Qiangtang, Lhasa, and Himalayan terranes were all in a stable passive continental margin along the northern part of Indian Gondwana during the long period from the Ordovician to the early Permian. At early Permian, because of the opening of the Neo-Tethys Ocean, the tectonic framework of this region underwent a marked change to a rifting and active environment.     

藏东左贡-竹卡地区一些关键地层的时代和物源区示踪

因地层时代和物源区缺乏有效约束,限制了对龙木错-双湖缝合带东向延伸的北澜沧江缝合带北段构造演化历史的认识。本文报道了位于北澜沧江缝合带北段藏东左贡-竹卡地区的酉西群、竹卡群和甲丕拉组的锆石U-Pb年龄数据,在酉西群变质砂岩和甲丕拉组砂岩中获得的最年轻碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄加权平均值分别为410±7Ma(n=3)和215±1Ma(n=2),将二者的最大沉积时代分别限定为早泥盆世和晚三叠世。竹卡群英安岩的锆石U-Pb年龄(240±1Ma)表明火山岩浆作用发生于中三叠世。碎屑锆石年龄频谱表明,酉西群兼具南羌塘地体约950Ma的碎屑锆石年龄指标和拉萨地体约1110Ma的年龄指标,表明其初始物源可能来自东冈瓦纳大陆内部印度大陆与南极洲之间的Eastern Ghats-Rayner和澳大利亚大陆和南极洲之间的Albany-Fraser-Bunger-Windmill造山带。甲丕拉组碎屑锆石最年轻的年龄峰值(225±2Ma;n=25)及其Hf同位素组成(-15.7~-4.2)与东达山岩基的相似性,指示甲丕拉组的物源很可能来自邻近的东达山岩基。甲丕拉组最年轻的碎屑锆石年龄(215Ma)与东达山岩基最年轻的花岗岩浆活动同期。这一结果,结合东达山地区甲丕拉组与下伏地层之间发生的与羌塘中央隆起带同期的区域性角度不整合事件,提出在北澜沧江北段的东达山地区,在东达山花岗岩基岩浆作用之后(约215Ma)甲丕拉组磨拉石沉积之前,很可能发生了快速隆升,与青藏高原羌塘中央隆起带的隆升剥露事件同期,可能受控于北澜沧江古特提斯洋壳板片的断离。     

西藏革吉地区沙木罗组碎屑锆石年代学研究:物源及其对班公湖-怒江特提斯洋西段闭合时限的制约

班公湖-怒江特提斯洋盆的闭合时限对理解班公湖-怒江结合带的构造演化意义重大。本文采用碎屑锆石年代学的方法,分析了班公湖-怒江结合带西段革吉地区沙木罗组下段与沙木罗组上段的物源特征及差异,为班公湖-怒江特提斯洋盆西段的闭合时间提供了新的证据。研究结果表明沙木罗组下段碎屑锆石年龄分布于2586±26Ma～130±1. 5Ma之间,显示出1个主峰年龄约165Ma,1个次峰年龄约240Ma。碎屑锆石年龄分6个组别,集中在2600～2400Ma、2000～1900Ma、1000～840Ma、500～400Ma、340～200Ma和200～130Ma,分别与新太古代克拉通汇聚事件、哥伦比亚超大陆相关的构造热事件、新元古代构造热事件、冈瓦纳大陆边缘安第斯型造山作用的岩浆活动事件、龙木错-双湖结合带岩浆活动事件和班公湖-怒江特提斯洋盆俯冲消减的岩浆活动事件一一对应。沙木罗组上段碎屑锆石年龄分布于2558±22Ma～101±1. 0Ma之间,显示出1个主峰年龄约107Ma,2个次峰年龄分别约226Ma、150Ma。碎屑锆石年龄集中分布于1个年龄组为122～101Ma,记录了班公湖-怒江特提斯洋盆俯冲消减的岩浆活动。通过与潜在源区的年龄谱峰进行对比,沙木罗组下段物源区与南羌塘地块有良好的亲缘性,表明其沉积物物源主要为南羌塘地块,其中南羌塘岩浆弧可能为其主要贡献者。沙木罗组上段物源区与南羌塘地块和北拉萨地块均具有良好的亲缘性,其沉积物物源具有双源性,分别来源于南羌塘岩浆弧和北拉萨岩浆弧。沙木罗组下段和上段沉积物物源的差异性暗示它们形成的沉积环境和物源区不同。对比分析沙木罗组下段和上段岩石学、碎屑锆石形态学等特征,也揭示了类似的差异性。结合其他相关地质资料,认为班公湖-怒江特提斯洋盆在革吉地区的主体闭合时间约115～110Ma,其代表性岩浆事件为南羌塘地块和北拉萨地块的早白垩世岩浆弧,沙木罗组为班公湖-怒江特提斯洋盆由俯冲消减到闭合过程中的沉积产物。     

U-Pb ages and Hf isotope compositions of detrital zircons from the sandstone in the early cretaceous Wawukuang formation in the Jiaolai Basin,Shandong Province and its tectonic implicationsEI北大核心CSCD

LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating and in situ Hf isotope analysis were carried out for the detrital zircons to constrain the depositional age and provenance of the Wawukuang Formation, which is believed as the earliest unit of the Laiyang Group in the Jiaolai Basin, and its implications. Most of these detrital zircons from the feldspar quartz sandstone in the Wawukuang Formation are magmatic in origin, which are euhedral-subhedral and display oscillatory zoning in CL images; whereas few Late Triassic detrital zircons are metamorphic in origin and structureless in CL images. U-Pb isotopic dating of 82 zircon grains yields age populations at ca. 129 Ma, 158 Ma, 224 Ma, 253 Ma, 461 Ma, 724 Ma, 1851 Ma and 2456 Ma. U-Pb dating and Hf isotopic results indicate that: 1) the Wawukuang Formation deposited during the Early Cretaceous (129-106 Ma); 2) the detrital zircons with the ages of 1851 Ma and 2456 Ma mainly sourced from the Precambrian basement rocks of the North China Craton; the Neoproterozoic (729-721 Ma) magmatic zircons and the Late Triassic (226-216 Ma) metamorphic zircons sourced from the Su-Lu terrane; The Late Paleozoic detrital zircons could source from the Late Paleozoic igneous rocks in the northern margin of the North China Craton; the Late Triassic (231-223 Ma) magmatic zircons and the 158-129 Ma zircons sourced from the coeval igneous rocks in the Jiaobei and Jiaodong; 3) the deposition age and provenance of the Jiaolai Basin are different from those of the Hefei Basin; 4) the recognition of clastic sediments from the Su-Lu terrane in the Wawukuang Formation suggests that the Su-Lu terrane was under denudation in the Early Cretaceous. ©, 2015, Science Press.

New Insights into the Late Triassic Nadigangri Formation of Northern Qiangtang,Tibet, China: Constraints from U‐Pb Ages and Hf Isotopes of Detrital and Magmatic Zircons

We report here U-Pb age and in situ Hf isotopic results for detrital and magmatic zircons from one conglomerate and four tuffite samples from the Late Triassic Nadigangri Formation across the North Qiangtang depression, Tibet. Coupled with previously published data in the region, this paper proposes new insights into the geochronological framework for the Nadigangri Formation. The deposition ages of tuffite from top to bottom in the Woruo Mountain, Quem Co and Dongqu River, are 203 Ma, 226 Ma, 221.5 Ma and 221.1 Ma, respectively. The detrital zircons yield a younger cluster of ages of 201.5–225 Ma from the conglomerate of the Quem Co Formation. The Late Triassic Nadigangri Formation defines a temporal range approximately between 201 and 225 Ma(Norian-Rhaetian), including three predominant groups of 220–225 Ma, 210–217 Ma and 201–205 Ma, which correspond with the three main rifting episodes of initial rifting, further rifting and final rifting. Positive εHf(t) value and low model ages in younger detrital zircons suggests a juvenile character. However, the Hf isotopes of magmatic zircons display the presence of reworked ancient crust with 1.1–1.8 Ga. These results provide strong constraints not only on the temporal range of the Late Triassic Nadigangri Formation, but also on the onset of the Qiangtang Mesozoic rift basin.     

Geochronology of the Duguer range metamorphic rocks,Central Tibet: implications for the changing tectonic setting of the South Qiangtang subterrane

The Duguer area represents one of the few occurrences of high-grade metamorphic rocks in the ‘Central Uplift’ zone of the Qiangtang terrane, central Tibet. The metamorphic rocks consist mainly of orthogneiss, paragneiss, and schist. To better understand the formation of these rocks, seven samples of gneiss and schist from the Duguer area were selected for in situ zircon U–Pb analysis and Ar–Ar dating of metamorphic minerals. The results suggest two distinct metamorphic stages, during the Late Triassic (229–227 Ma) and Late Jurassic (150–149 Ma). These stages correspond to the closure of the Palaeo-Tethys Ocean and northward subduction of the Bangong–Nujiang Neo-Tethys oceanic crust, respectively. We suggest that the Late Triassic metamorphic rocks of the Duguer area in the central South Qiangtang subterrane provide evidence of continental collision between the North and South Qiangtang subterranes, following the subduction of oceanic crust. It is likely that deep subduction of oceanic crust occurred along the Longmu Co–Shuanghu–Lancangjiang suture zone (LSLSZ), which would have hindered exhumation owing to the high density of oceanic crust. Subsequent break-off and delamination of the subducted oceanic slab at ~220 Ma may have resulted in exhumation of high-pressure and high-grade metamorphic rocks in the South Qiangtang subterrane. The Late Jurassic ages of metamorphism and deformation obtained in this study indicate the occurrence of an Andean-type orogenic event within the South Qiangtang subterrane. This hypothesis is further supported by an apparent age gap in magmatic activity (150–130 Ma) along the magmatic arc, and the absence of Late Jurassic sediments.     

西藏尼玛县牛山日干配错组沉积岩中碎屑锆石的U-Pb定年及意义

羌塘地块作为近年地质研究的热点,其构造属性及是否存在太古宙-元古宙基底等问题一直存在争议。文中采用LA ICP MS锆石U Pb法对西藏荣玛牛山上三叠统日干配错组碎屑锆石进行年代学研究,结果表明：(1)日干配错组沉积岩中最年轻碎屑锆石年龄为(215±2) Ma,表明日干配错组的最大沉积年限为该时间,结合区域地质资料可将其沉积时代限定为晚三叠世诺利期-瑞替期。(2)年龄介于(580±6)～(212±2) Ma,峰值为(298±2) Ma,表明在晚古生代早期受古特提斯洋发育早期地壳减薄伸展阶段岩浆活动影响,冈瓦纳古陆为其物源区;峰值为(442±3) Ma,表明在中古生代受加里东期扬子板块和华夏板块碰撞、拼合而形成的岩浆活动的影响,物源区为扬子大陆周缘;只获得1颗锆石650～500 Ma年龄,表明源区基本未受到泛非运动岩浆活动的影响。(3)碎屑锆石出现相对少量介于(1 091±6)～(757±6) Ma的年龄,表明在中-新元古代受格林威尔-晋宁构造岩浆热事件的影响,物源区与羌南地块一致。(4)日干配错组沉积岩碎屑锆石测年得到大量介于(3 214±7)～(1 380±15) Ma年龄值,占总量的近60%,峰值为(1 875±5) Ma和(2 531±6) Ma,表明羌塘地块受元古宙羌塘结晶基底主期构造热事件和太古宙末全球超大陆拼合事件影响显著,且羌塘地块存在太古宙-元古宙基底。     

藏北羌塘奥陶纪平行不整合面的厘定及其构造意义

西藏羌塘块体有无变质基底、其前新生代构造属性与演化过程是长期争论的议题。本文报道南羌塘块体北部,中、上奥陶统塔石山组底砾岩平行不整合于浅变质中厚层石英砂岩夹薄层泥灰岩之上。近600粒碎屑锆石测年结果表明浅变质石英砂岩的最大沉积年龄为527±7Ma,300余粒碎屑锆石测年结果表明塔石山组底部石英砂岩的最大沉积年龄为471±6Ma。不整合面上、下石英砂岩最大沉积年龄之差达56Myr,表明这两套石英砂岩之间存在明显的沉积间断,证实了该平行不整合面的时代为奥陶纪早期。另一独立的证据是在邻区发现了早奥陶世花岗岩类岩石(471~477Ma)侵位于该浅变质石英岩,因此将不整合面之下的浅变质石英岩暂命名为荣玛组,归入寒武系地层。阴极发光与年代学研究进一步表明不整合面之上的碎屑锆石主要来源于在"泛非"运动晚期形成的结晶岩,为近源锆石,表明"泛非运动"晚期所形成的结晶岩在奥陶纪早期就已隆升,遭受剥蚀,为区内中上奥陶统沉积岩的形成提供物质来源。该奥陶纪平行不整合面的发现,表明南羌塘块体与喜马拉雅、拉萨等块体相似,同属冈瓦纳大陆体系。南、北羌塘早古生代地层系统之间的显著差异表明在寒武-奥陶纪之交,南、北羌塘块体就已被古大洋盆分隔开,开始各自独立演化。     

滇西允沟岩组碎屑锆石年龄谱对相关地块亲缘性的约束

滇西允沟岩组为一套低绿片岩相的泥质浅变质岩,岩性以云母石英片岩、云母石英千枚岩、云母片岩、细晶灰岩为主,局部夹硅质岩,一直以来被认为是前寒武纪变质基底的重要组成部分。其原岩以碎屑岩为主,含有部分灰岩、白云岩,是一套形成于特提斯洋被动大陆边缘的半深海-深海沉积物,因此,是研究特提斯洋构造演化的重要窗口。但是,对允沟岩组的形成时代至今仍存在较大争议,为此本文选取允沟岩组中的片岩进行了碎屑锆石U-Pb精确定年。分析结果表明,允沟岩组原岩沉积时代为新元古代晚期-寒武纪期间(551～491Ma),主要由新太古代、新元古代及少量古元古代碎屑物质组成。其中,大量太古宙晚期碎屑锆石表明其源区有太古宙基底的存在,而1749Ma这组碎屑锆石可能与哥伦比亚超大陆聚散有关,956Ma和848Ma这两组锆石记录的事件可能是对罗迪尼亚超大陆三阶段裂离事件的前两期的响应。此外,还含有少量泛非运动信息,但泛非运动对其源区的影响极其有限。结合前人研究成果和本文碎屑锆石年龄谱,显示允沟岩组形成于原特提斯洋的被动陆缘,与印度板块、南羌塘地块具有显著的亲缘性。

The central Qiangtang Metamorphic Belt in northern Tibet is an in-situ Paleo-Tethys Ocean: Evidence from newly discovered Late Devonian radiolarians

The paleogeographic position of the North Qiangtang Block, as well as the origin of the Central Qiangtang Metamorphic Belt (CQMB) have subjected to considerable debate that hampers the understanding of the early evolution of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean. This study reports a new radiolarian fauna of a Famennian age (Late Devonian) from the ophiolitic mélange south of Gangtang Co, northern Tibet, including Callela parvispinosa Won, Entactinia foveolata Nazarov, and Plenoentactinia pinguis Won. The discovery of Devonian radiolarians in the CQMB strongly supports the model that the Longmu Co–Shuanghu suture zone represents the main branch of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean. A correlation of the Late Devonian radiolarian in Tethys realm reveals that the Longmu Co–Shuanghu suture zone was connected to the Changning–Menglian suture zone in western Yunnan, the Chiang Mai–Inthanon and Chanthaburi suture zones in Thailand, and the Bentong–Raub suture zone in Malay Peninsula. The synchronous advent of Late Devonian radiolarians suggests that the Paleo-Tethys Ocean may have opened during that time.     

Petrology,geochemistry and P–T–t path of lawsonite‐bearing retrograded eclogites in the Changning–Menglian orogenic belt,southeast Tibetan Plateau

The Changning–Menglian orogenic belt (CMOB) in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, is considered as the main suture zone marking the closure of the Palaeo‐Tethys Ocean between the Indochina and Sibumasu blocks. Here, we investigate the recently discovered retrograded eclogites from this suture zone in terms of their petrological, geochemical and geochronological features, with the aim of constraining the metamorphic evolution and protolith signature. Two types of metabasites are identified: retrograded eclogites and mafic schists. The igneous precursors of the retrograded eclogites exhibit rare earth element distribution patterns and trace element abundance similar to those of ocean island basalts, and are inferred to have been derived from a basaltic seamount in an intra‐oceanic tectonic setting. In contrast, the mafic schists show geochemical affinity to arc‐related volcanics with the enrichment of Rb, Th and U, and depletion of Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf and Ti, and their protoliths possibly formed at an active continental margin tectonic setting. Retrograded eclogites are characterized by peak metamorphic mineral assemblages of garnet, omphacite, white mica, lawsonite and rutile, and underwent five‐stage metamorphic evolution, including pre‐peak prograde stage (M₁) at 18–19 kbar and 400–420°C, peak lawsonite‐eclogite facies (M₂) at 24–26 kbar and 520–530°C, post‐peak epidote–eclogite facies decompression stage (M₃) at 13–18 kbar and 530–560°C, subsequent amphibolite facies retrogressive stage (M₄) at 8–10 kbar and 530–600°C, and late greenschist facies cooling stage (M₅) at 5–8 kbar and 480–490°C. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) U–Pb spot analyses of zircon show two distinct age groups. The magmatic zircon from both the retrograded eclogite and mafic schist yielded protolith ages of 451 ± 3 Ma, which is consistent with the ages of Early Palaeozoic ophiolitic complexes and ocean island sequences in the CMOB reported in previous studies. In contrast, metamorphic zircon from the retrograded eclogite samples yielded consistent Triassic metamorphic ages of 246 ± 2 and 245 ± 2 Ma, which can be interpreted as the timing of closure of the Palaeo‐Tethys Ocean. The compatible peak metamorphic mineral assemblages, P–T–t paths and metamorphic ages, as well as the similar protolith signatures for the eclogites in the CMOB and Longmu Co–Shuanghu suture (LCSS) suggest that the two belts formed part of a cold oceanic subduction system in the Triassic. The main suture zone of the Palaeo‐Tethyan domain extends at least 1,500 km in length from the CMOB to the LCSS in the Tibetan Plateau. The identification of lawsonite‐bearing retrograded eclogites in the CMOB provides important insights into the tectonic framework and complex geological evolution of the Palaeo‐Tethys.     

Sedimentary record of Jurassic northward subduction of the Bangong–Nujiang Ocean: insights from detrital zircons

The subduction polarity and related arc–magmatic evolutional history of the Bangong–Nujiang Ocean, which separated the South Qiangtang terrane to the north from the North Lhasa terrane to the south during the Mesozoic, remain debated. This study tries to reconstruct the subduction and evolution of the Bangong–Nujiang Ocean on the basis of U–Pb and Hf isotopic analyses of detrital zircons in samples from sedimentary rocks of the middle-western section of the Bangong–Nujiang suture zone in Gerze County, central Tibet. The Middle Jurassic Muggargangri Group in the Bangong–Nujiang suture zone was deposited in a deep-sea basin setting on an active continental margin. The Late Jurassic strata, such as the Sewa Formation, are widely distributed in the South Qiangtang terrane and represent deposition on a shelf. The Early Cretaceous Shamuluo Formation in the Bangong–Nujiang suture zone unconformably overlies the Muggargangri Group and was probably deposited in a residual marine basin setting. The detrital zircons of the Muggargangri Group contain seven U–Pb age populations: 2.6–2.4 Ga, 1.95–1.75 Ga, 950–900 Ma, 850–800 Ma, 650–550 Ma, 480–420 Ma, and 350–250 Ma, which is similar to the age populations in sedimentary rocks of the South Qiangtang terrane. In addition, the age spectra of the Shamuluo Formation are similar to those of the Muggargangri Group, indicating that both had a northern terrane provenance, which is conformed by the north-to-south palaeocurrent. This provenance indicates northward subduction of the Bangong–Nujiang oceanic crust. In contrast, two samples from the Sewa Formation yield variable age distributions: the lower sample has age populations similar to those of the South Qiangtang terrane, whereas the upper possesses only one age cluster with a peak at ca. 156 Ma. Moreover, the majority of the late Mesozoic detrital zircons are characterized by weakly positive εHf(t) values that are similar to those of magmatic zircons from arc magmatic rocks in the South Qiangtang terrane. The findings, together with information from the record of magmatism, indicate that the earliest prevalent arc magmatism occurred during the Early Jurassic (ca. 185 Ma) and that the principal arc–magmatic stage occurred during the Middle–Late Jurassic (ca. 170–150 Ma). The magmatic gap and scarcity of detrital zircons at ca. 140–130 Ma likely indicate collision between the Qiangtang and Lhasa terranes. The late Early Cretaceous (ca. 125–100 Ma) magmatism on both sides of the Bangong–Nujiang suture zone was probably related to slab break-off or lithospheric delamination after closure of the Bangong–Nujiang Ocean.     

Age and provenance of the Ergunahe Group and the Wubinaobao Formation,northeastern Inner Mongolia,NE China: implications for tectonic setting of the Erguna Massif

Here, we present the results of U–Pb dating of detrital zircons from the Ergunahe Group and the Wubinaobao Formation, within northeastern Inner Mongolia, NE China, with the aim of constraining the tectonic setting of the Erguna Massif. The majority of detrital zircons from five samples collected from the Ergunahe Group and the Wubinaobao Formation are magmatic, although some zircons have metamorphic growth rims. Zircons in two mica schists and in feldspar–quartz sandstone from the Ergunahe Group yield age populations that cluster around 738, 760, 792, 837, 890, 964, and 1050 Ma, whereas zircons from two quartz sandstones within the Wubinaobao Formation yield age populations that cluster at 466, 484, 515, 738, 795, 837, and 894 Ma. These data, combined with detrital zircon age populations (ca. 712 Ma) from the adjacent Xinghuadukou Group, and the fact that the Ergunahe Group intruded by Caledonian gabbros is overlain by upper Silurian units, indicate that the Ergunahe Group formed at 738–712 Ma (i.e. during the Neoproterozoic). In addition, the Wubinaobao Formation is subdivided into two units: a calcareous siltstone unit within the western part of the study area and a quartz sandstone within the eastern part. The calcareous siltstone formed at 712–795 Ma, similar to the Ergunahe Group, whereas the quartz sandstone formed between the 466 Ma and late Silurian. The age spectra of detrital zircons from the Ergunahe Group and the Wubinaobao Formation indicate that sediment in both of these units was derived from terranes that outcrop around the basin. The widespread occurrence of Neoproterozoic detrital zircons within both the Ergunahe Group and the Wubinaobao Formation suggests that Precambrian terranes are present within the Erguna Massif and that the massif has an affinity to the Siberian Craton.     

拉萨—羌塘地体碰撞时限:来自班公湖—怒江缝合带中段多尼组沉积的约束

早白垩世多尼组沿西藏北部班公湖—怒江缝合带沿线广泛分布,其沉积环境、碎屑组成和沉积物源等记录了班公湖—怒江特提斯洋闭合后拉萨—羌塘地体碰撞的演化历史。班戈地区多尼组以角度不整合于侏罗纪海相复理石之上,主要由砾岩、砂岩、粉砂岩、泥岩及少量安山岩夹层组成。砂岩中普遍发育槽状、板状、楔状交错层理,泥岩中可见泥裂,砾岩多为透镜状并发育叠瓦状构造,指示其形成于河流—三角洲沉积,且总体呈现出向上变粗的沉积组合序列。对多尼组中安山岩夹层样品进行LA?ICP?MS锆石U?Pb定年,获得206U/238Pb加权平均年龄为114 ± 0.4 Ma。对砾岩中砾石成分和砂岩碎屑组成的统计分析结果显示,多尼组沉积组合中的碎屑组成主要来自蛇绿岩、中酸性岩浆岩、沉积岩和少量变质岩。砂岩重砂矿物组合和古水流分析结果表明,多尼组的沉积物源主要来自其南北两侧的拉萨和羌塘地体以及其下伏蛇绿岩。综合区域地质资料,班戈地区早白垩世多尼组是班公湖—怒江特提斯洋闭合过程中拉萨—羌塘地体碰撞背景下沉积作用的产物。

藏北羌塘果干加年山的东部出露有一处花岗岩岩体,其主要岩性为黑云母二长花岗岩和花岗细晶岩岩脉,侵入晚三叠世望湖岭组和晚石炭世—早二叠世展金岩群之中。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄测定结果表明,该花岗岩的形成时代为晚三叠世(210.3Ma±2.6Ma),略晚于区域上高压变质带的变质峰期年龄和望湖岭组底部流纹岩的年龄。岩石地球化学数据显示,该花岗岩岩体属高钾钙碱性过铝质花岗岩,形成于后碰撞环境,是岩石圈碰撞加厚之后减压过程中岩浆活动的产物,说明在210Ma左右果干加年山地区的构造环境开始由碰撞阶段向板内阶段转化,进入了后碰撞阶段。     

内蒙古霍林郭勒地区“宝音图群”锆石U-Pb年龄及其构造意义

对内蒙古霍林郭勒地区出露的"宝音图群"砂岩进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素测年,样品112个分析点结果显示,具有主要峰值年龄257 Ma、283 Ma、313 Ma和少数老年龄(1 700 Ma),且257 Ma的年龄表明该地层主体的沉积下限的时代为早三叠世,原定为下元古界的"宝音图群"实为早三叠世地层。该地层物源主要来自于大石寨组火山岩、苏尼特左旗—锡林浩特—西乌旗南岩浆弧和相邻地块的变质基底,并有少量华北板块北缘物源混入,说明在早三叠世初华北板块北缘与北侧地块已经开始碰撞。     

鄂尔多斯盆地北部杭锦旗地区下石盒子组多物源体系: 来自矿物学及碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学的证据

鄂尔多斯盆地北部上古生界砂岩碎屑组分、岩屑类型和重矿物组合具有明显的东西分带性,但是其物源来源及差异性尚不明确.利用锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年方法,对鄂尔多斯盆地北部杭锦旗地区下石盒子组碎屑锆石年龄分布及变化特征进行了研究,明确了不同年龄组分碎屑锆石的来源,并分析了不同物源体系及差异性.结果表明:不同地区下石盒子组碎屑矿物含量存在明显差异,由西向东岩屑含量逐渐增加,石英含量逐渐减小;下石盒子组锆石年龄主要呈现280~340 Ma、400~450 Ma、1 700~2 000 Ma和2 200~2 500 Ma 4个峰值区间段,从东部地区到西部地区,锆石显生宙年龄组分所占比例逐渐增加,且中部、西部地区新出现400~450 Ma的年龄段;对比周源岩体同位素年龄,西部地区物源主要来自于阿拉善地块,东部和中部地区物源主要来自于大青山-乌拉山、阴山和集宁地区,同时中部地区还受到阿拉善地块物源输入的影响;结合下石盒子组砂岩锆石定年结果和碎屑矿物含量、岩屑类型分布特征,认为杭锦旗地区发育多物源体系,并据此将研究区分为西部物源区、中部混合物源区及东北部物源区.      

延边开山屯地区二叠纪地质体的构造属性：侵入岩及碎屑锆石证据

本文对延边开山屯地区二叠纪侵入岩和地层中的(碎屑)锆石进行了LA-ICP-MS和SIMS U-Pb年代学及Hf同位素的研究,同时对侵入岩进行了全岩地球化学特征的研究,以便制约开山屯地区的构造属性以及延边地区晚古生代-早中生代演化历史。延边开山屯地区大蒜沟组复成分砾岩和岩屑杂砂岩中锆石最年轻峰值年龄为298Ma和293Ma,此外还存在330Ma、366Ma、438Ma、454Ma、479Ma峰值年龄。这些古生代碎屑锆石的ε_(Hf)(t)值介于-1.14～+15.17之间;开山屯组长石杂砂岩和长石砂岩中的锆石最年轻年龄峰值分别为259Ma和253Ma,此外还存在279Ma、456Ma、476Ma、500Ma、529Ma以及新元古代-古元古代(891～1765Ma)的峰值年龄。其中古生代碎屑锆石的ε_(Hf)(t)值介于-5.22～+10.15之间。开山屯地区中二叠世闪长岩和晚二叠世辉长闪长岩的形成时代分别为261Ma和256Ma,属于低钾拉斑-中钾钙碱性系列,相对富集轻稀土和大离子亲石元素,亏损重稀土和高场强元素,主要来源于受俯冲流体/熔体交代的亏损地幔楔的部分熔融。综合研究认为,开山屯地区与兴凯地块具有亲缘性;大蒜沟组的沉积时限为早-中二叠世,形成于兴凯地块西部活动大陆边缘的弧前盆地或增生楔环境;开山屯组形成于早-中三叠世,具有双向物源的特点(华北板块和兴凯地块)。早-中二叠世延边地区处于活动大陆边缘的构造背景。延边地区的古亚洲洋于早-中三叠世最终闭合。
