北秦岭早古生代宽坪岩体两期花岗质岩浆锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学及其地质意义

宽坪岩体位于北秦岭造山带东部,岩体主要由片麻状黑云母二长花岗岩和似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩组成。锆石LA-ICP MS U-Pb定年结果表明宽坪岩体可划分为两期:早期为片麻状黑云母二长花岗岩,其锆石U-Pb年龄为448.3±4.5 Ma,该期花岗岩富硅、富碱,属准铝质和高钾钙碱性系列,形成压力较低;晚期为似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩,其锆石U-Pb年龄为421.4±2.5 Ma,该期花岗岩属强过铝质和高钾钙碱性—钙碱性系列。系统的地球化学研究表明,早期的片麻状二长花岗起源于中上地壳(贫斜长石的源区)在H2O饱和条件下发生部分熔融形成的贫Al2O3、富Si O2花岗质岩浆;晚期的似斑状二长花岗岩代表较高温的中—下地壳(杂砂岩或是花岗质片麻岩)发生部分脱水熔融形成的岩浆,这表明北秦岭地区从450~420 Ma经历了从早期的同碰撞阶段到后期的后碰撞阶段。

门巴区晚白垩世花岗岩主要分布于冈底斯中段的扎雪、金达和桑巴附近,由黑云母钾长花岗岩、钾长花岗岩和二云母钾长花岗岩及花岗闪长岩等组成。其中花岗闪长岩SHRIMP 锆石U--Pb 年龄为68. 8 ± 1. 6 Ma; 钾长花岗岩黑云母K--Ar 年龄为78. 2 ± 1. 2 Ma 和81. 5 ± 1. 4 Ma; 黑云母钾长花岗岩和二云母钾长花岗岩的黑云母K--Ar 分别为90. 8 ± 1. 81 Ma 和91. 2 ± 1. 8 Ma。岩石学和地球化学分析结果表明,S 型和低Sr 低Yb 特征的黑云母钾长花岗岩和二云母钾长花岗岩形成于拉萨地块与羌塘地块碰撞造山过程中的地壳加厚背景; S 型和总体低Sr、高Yb 特征的钾长花岗岩形成于造山带晚期阶段的伸展背景; I 型花岗闪长岩应是新特提斯洋俯冲作用的结果,形成于岛弧构造环境。     

湘南王仙岭花岗岩体的锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学、锆石Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

湘南王仙岭岩体由主体电气石黑云母花岗岩和侵入其内部的黑云母二长花岗岩组成,LA-MC-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年显示电气石黑云母花岗岩形成于印支期(235.0±1.3Ma),黑云母二长花岗岩形成于燕山期(155.9±1.0Ma),表明该岩体是两期岩浆活动的产物。这两期岩石均为高钾钙碱性系列,A/CNK值为1.07～1.66,属过铝-强过铝质花岗岩类。稀土元素显示LREE富集,HREE亏损,Eu负异常明显(0.01～0.38)的特征。早期电气石黑云母花岗岩和晚期黑云母二长花岗岩的εHf(t)值分别为-7.92～+4.61和-10.66～-5.35;两阶段Hf模式年龄(tDM2)分别为1758～967Ma和1875～1538Ma。两期花岗岩均来自于古中元古代地壳物质重熔,其中早期电气石黑云母花岗岩在侵位上升过程中捕获了部分幔源老锆石,成岩过程中有少量地幔物质参与,且其源区具有高εHf(t)值的特点。综合前人研究成果,本文认为华南中生代印支期和燕山期均有钨锡矿化作用,印支期花岗质岩浆形成于碰撞挤压作用间隙伸展环境,而燕山期花岗质岩浆可能形成于大陆边缘弧后伸展环境。     

西昆仑慕士塔格岩体的LA ICP MS锆石U Pb定年:对古特提斯碰撞时限的制约

慕士塔格岩体是西昆仑造山带出露面积最大的侵入体,主要由黑云母二长花岗岩、似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩组成,其中发育大量的暗色微细粒包体和基性岩浆条带。根据锆石的阴极发光图像以及Th、U、REE元素等特征,所测试的锆石均为典型的岩浆结晶锆石,利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,测得岩体东西部分的加权平均206Pb/238U年龄分别为229.6±0.8Ma(MSWD=0.44)、232.8±1.5Ma(MSWD=0.21),两者在误差范围内一致,综合获得该岩体年龄为231.4±0.7Ma(MSWD=1.5),属于中三叠世晚期。根据岩石学、锆石内部结构及其REE元素特征,结合前人地球化学资料,该岩体应为壳幔岩浆混合成因。结合区域地质资料,慕士塔格岩体应是从挤压的主碰撞期向伸展后碰撞期转换的产物,表明古特提斯主碰撞作用发生在中三叠世晚期之前,之后开始进入古特提斯后碰撞阶段。

北秦岭太白花岗岩体LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年及其地质意义

北秦岭太白岩体位于商丹构造带北侧。野外侵入关系和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年显示,该岩体由早志留世的五里峡岩体、晚三叠世的红崖河岩体和早白垩世的下板寺岩体组成。五里峡岩体的主要岩石类型为片麻状黑云母二长花岗岩,锆石U-Pb年龄为（431±2） Ma;红崖河岩体的主要岩石类型为黑云母二长花岗岩,锆石U-Pb年龄为（214±2） Ma;下板寺岩体为粗粒黑云母花岗岩,锆石U-Pb年龄为（130±1） Ma,表明太白岩体是由3个不同时代岩体组成的侵入复合杂岩体。结合区域构造背景和前人的研究成果,得出早志留世五里峡岩体可能与秦岭微板块沿商丹缝合带俯冲碰撞有关;晚三叠世红崖河岩体与秦岭早中生代主期岩浆作用一致,是华北地块与扬子地块碰撞的产物;燕山期的下板寺花岗岩属于板内岩浆作用。研究显示,今后应注意大岩体的解体,其可能隐含着不可忽视的构造-岩浆作用信息。     

Subduction zone stresses: Constraints from mechanics and from topographic and geoid anomalies

There are, in principle, direct relations between several important phenomena associated with subduction zones: the depth of oceanic trenches, the magnitude of the net force from trenches acting on subducting plates, the distribution and fault plane orientations of earthquakes, the magnitude of stresses on subduction faults, the bathymetry of back-arc regions, and the magnitudes of gravity and geoid anomalies. These phenomena are related through the stresses transmitted through surface and subducted lithosphere, and are associated with the mass anomaly of the subducted lithosphere. Quantitative estimates suggest that observed trench depths imply a trench pull force on subducting plates which is comparable to the ridge push force but much less than the excess weight of the subducted lithospheric slab. It is further suggested that either the mass anomaly of subducted lithosphere is much less than would be expected on the basis of conventional thermal and compositional models or that (a) a large resistance acts on the upper part of slabs due to high-stress corner flow, and (b) the mass anomaly of the slab is 70–90% compensated either by a broad 1 km-deep back-arc depression or a low density mantle wedge above the slab or both.     

The seagrass skeletal assemblage from modern to fossil and from tropical to temperate: Insight from Maldivian and Mediterranean examples

Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that form extensive submarine meadows in the photic zone where carbonate producing biota dwell as epiphytes on the leaves or as infaunal forms, and act as prolific carbonate sediment factories. Because seagrasses have a low preservation potential and records of exceptionally well‐preserved and plant material from marine settings are rare, these palaeoenvironments are difficult to identify in the rock record. Consequently, sedimentological and palaeontological proxies are the main indicators of the presence of seagrass‐dominated ecosystems. This work investigates the skeletal assemblage of Modern (Maldivian and western Mediterranean) and fossil (Eocene; Apula and Oman carbonate platforms and Oligocene; Malta platform) seagrass examples to characterize the skeletal assemblage of modern and fossil seagrasses. Two main types of grains, calcareous algae and foraminifera, constitute around 50% of the bioclastic sediment in both tropical Maldivian and temperate Mediterranean scenarios. However, in the tropical setting they are represented by green algae (Halimeda), while in the Mediterranean they are represented by corallinacean red algae. In contrast, in the Eocene examples, the foraminifera are the most conspicuous group and the green algae are also abundant. The opposite occurs in the Maltese Chattian, which is dominated by coralline algae (mean 42%), although the foraminifera are still abundant. It is suggested to use the term foralgal to identify the seagrass skeletal assemblage. To discriminate between red algae and green algae dominance, the introduction of the prefixes ‘GA’ (green algae) and ‘RA’ (red algae) is proposed. The investigated examples provide evidence that the green algae–foralgal assemblage is typical of tropical, not excessively dense seagrass meadows, characterized by a well‐illuminated substrate to support the development and calcification of the Halimeda thallus. Contrarily, the red algae‐foralgal assemblage is typical of high density tropical to subtropical seagrass meadows which create very dense oligophotic conditions on the sea floor or in temperate settings where Halimeda cannot calcify.     

Indirect crustal contamination: evidence from isotopic and chemical disequilibria in minerals from alkali basalts and nephelinites from northern Tanzania

 Alkali basalts and nephelinites from the volcanic province of northern Tanzania contain pyroxene and nepheline that show evidence for chemical and/or isotopic disequilibria with their host magmas. Olivine, pyroxene, nepheline and plagioclase all appear to be partially xenocrystic in origin. Five whole rock/mineral separate pairs have been analyzed for Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic compositions. The ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios are distinct by as much as 20.94 (whole rock) vs. 19.10 (clinopyroxene separate). The Sr and Nd isotopic disequilibria vary from insignificant in the case of nepheline, to Δ ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr of 0.0002 and Δɛ_Nd of 0.7 in the case of clinopyroxene. The mineral chemistry of 25 samples indicates the ubiquitous presence of minerals that did not crystallize from a liquid represented by the host rock. The northern Tanzanian magmas are peralkaline and exhibit none of the xenocrystic phases expected from crustal assimilation. The disequilibria cannot be the result of mantle source variations. Rather the xenocrystic phases present appear to have been derived from earlier alkali basaltic rocks or magmas that were contaminated by the crust. Material from this earlier magma was then mixed with batches of magma that subsequently erupted on the surface. Disequilibrium in volcanic rocks has potentially serious consequences for the use of whole rock data to identify source reservoirs. However, mass balance calculations reveal that the ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb isotopic compositions of the erupted lavas were changed by less than 0.25% as a result of this indirect crustal contamination.

Flood and Shield Basalts from Ethiopia: Magmas from the African Superswell

The Ethiopian plateau is made up of several distinct volcaniccentres of different ages and magmatic affinities. In the NE,a thick sequence of 30 Ma flood basalts is overlain by the 30Ma Simien shield volcano. The flood basalts and most of thisshield volcano, except for a thin veneer of alkali basalt, aretholeiitic. In the centre of the province, a far thinner sequenceof flood basalt is overlain by the 22 Ma Choke and Guguftu shieldvolcanoes. Like the underlying flood basalts, these shieldsare composed of alkaline lavas. A third type of magma, whichalso erupted at 30 Ma, is more magnesian, alkaline and stronglyenriched in incompatible trace elements. Eruption of this magmawas confined to the NE of the province, a region where the lavaflows are steeply tilted as a result of deformation contemporaneouswith their emplacement. Younger shields (e.g. Mt Guna, 10·7Ma) are composed of Si-undersaturated lavas. The three maintypes of magma have very different major and trace element characteristicsranging from compositions low in incompatible elements in thetholeiites [e.g. 10 ppm La at 7 wt % MgO (=La₇), La/Yb = 4·2],moderate in the alkali basalts (La₇ = 24, La/Yb = 9·2),and very high in the magnesian alkaline magmas (La₇ = 43, La/Yb= 17). Although their Nd and Sr isotope compositions are similar,Pb isotopic compositions vary considerably; ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb variesin the range of

New paleomagnetic and paleointensity data from Pliocene lava flows from the Lesser Caucasus

A paleomagnetic, rock-magnetic and paleointensity study has been carried out on 14 basaltic lava flows from two Pliocene (K–Ar age between 3.09 ± 0.10 Ma and 4.00 ± 0.15 Ma) sequences (Apnia and Korxi) from the eastern Djhavakheti Highland in southern Georgia (Caucasus).Measurement of strong-field magnetisation versus temperature curves yielded three types of thermomagnetic curves: (i) Reversible curves with magnetite as only remanence carrier (type H); (ii) irreversible curves with magnetite as only carrier of remanence (type H⁻) and (iii) irreversible curves showing a low Curie-temperature phase and magnetite (type L). Analysis of hysteresis curves showed that samples were characterised by a mixture of single-domain and multi-domain grains.Paleomagnetic experiments allowed determining characteristic components for all flows and normal polarities (6 flows), reversed polarities (7 flows) and intermediate polarities (1 flow) were observed.. Paleomagnetic poles were calculated using only those sites unequivocally showing normal or reversed polarities. The paleomagnetic pole obtained from flows of both combined sequences (latitude λ = 77.9°N, longitude ϕ = 152.1°E, n = 13, A₉₅ = 11.8°, k = 13.4) showed a good agreement with the 5 Ma window of the European synthetic apparent polar wander path of Besse and Courtillot (2002). The paleomagnetic direction of the combined Apnia-Korxi flows agrees well with the expected one, showing no significant tectonic rotation. The latter cannot be however, completely excluded in the Korxi section. In that section, analysis of the angular dispersion of virtual geomagnetic poles yields a much higher value than expected.Paleointensity experiments using the Coe method were performed on 31 specimens from 10 flows. After application of specific selection criteria, 19 samples from 8 flows were observed to provide successful determinations, with mean flow values showing a wide scatter. If only flows with more than one successful paleointensity determination are taken into account, virtual dipole moments (VDMs) vary between 3.5 × 10²² A m² and 8.3 × 10²² A m². In intermediate polarity site AP2 no weak transitional paleostrength values were observed.     

Lateglacial palaeoenvironments and palaeoclimates from Conty and Houdancourt, northern France, reconstructed from Beetle remains

Two Lateglacial insect sequences are described (a) from Conty, in the Selle valley and (b) from Houdancourt in the Oise valley, both in northern France. These investigations are part of a multidisciplinary investigation involving archaeology, sedimentology, geomorphology, geochronology and palaeontology (pollen, macroscopic plant remains, vertebrates, molluscs and insect fossils). The sequences of insect assemblages date from the latter part of the Bølling to the end of the Allerød periods. Environmental analysis of these faunas shows that rivers with riffles and pools meandered across flood plains. The river was extensively fringed with reedy vegetation. The only trees growing close to the river were of Salix and/or Populus. All the insect assemblages indicate that the thermal climates during the Bølling and Allerød periods were similar to one another and during both periods were very nearly as warm as that of the present day. No insect fossils were recovered from the sediments attributed to the Older Dryas interval though other evidence from these sites suggests that this event was decidedly colder than those immediately preceding and succeeding it. Comparisons are made between Lateglacial climatic patterns in northern France with those elsewhere in Europe.
