西藏中拉萨地块晚侏罗世许如错花岗岩地球化学与岩石成因

西藏中部拉萨地块晚侏罗世花岗岩的岩石成因与源区性质目前尚未得到很好约束。本文报道了中部拉萨地块西段许如错岩体的寄主花岗岩和闪长质包体的锆石U-Pb年龄、元素地球化学和锆石Hf同位素成分。许如错岩体寄主花岗岩年龄为155.1±0.7Ma,闪长质包体与寄主花岗岩同期(155.7±0.7Ma)形成。寄主花岗岩属I型偏铝质-弱过铝质高钾钙碱性系列岩石,富集Rb、K等大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素,亏损Nb、Ta、P、Ti等高场强元素,锆石εHf(t)值(-16.6~-6.6)指示其可能来源于拉萨地块古老下地壳物质的重熔作用。闪长质包体为准铝质钙碱性系列,锆石εHf(t)值(-8.9~-3.8)具有总体为负但明显高于寄主花岗岩εHf(t)值的特征,表明这些闪长质包体代表了幔源物质组成的加入。许如错晚侏罗世花岗岩可能形成于班公湖-怒江特提斯洋洋壳在中晚侏罗世向南俯冲于拉萨地块之下,引起幔源物质与中部拉萨地块古老基底重熔所产生的酸性岩浆发生岩浆混合作用形成的。     

骑田岭花岗岩体的岩浆混合成因:寄主岩及其暗色闪长质微细粒包体的锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素证据

南岭骑田岭复式岩体仰天湖单元燕山期二长花岗岩中广泛分布有暗色闪长质微细粒包体,这些包体主要呈被打散的片云状或次圆状,大小不等,颜色较寄主岩深,粒度较细。本文在锆石内部结构的CL图像特征研究基础上,用LA-ICP-MS和MC-ICP-MS测定了锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素组成,探讨了寄主二长花岗岩、闪长质微细粒包体的锆石U-Pb年代学及Hf同位素组成特征。获得寄主二长花岗岩、闪长质微细粒包体的结晶年龄为(166.0±2.0)Ma和(169.8±4.1)Ma,对应的εHf(t)值为-13.2～-1.9与-8.3～+6.7。研究表明,骑田岭复式岩体中的仰天湖岩体是以古老地壳物质熔融为主体的壳源岩浆与幔源岩浆高度混合的产物。     

暗色微粒包体是壳幔岩浆混合作用的证据吗？

暗色微粒包体常见于钙碱性花岗岩中,已普遍被认为是幔源基性岩浆与壳源酸性岩浆在地壳深部发生混合作用的产物。本文通过大量资料的分析研究,发现暗色微粒包体可以具有很大负值的全岩εNd（t）值和锆石εHf（t）值,及大于0710的全岩\[n（87Sr）/n（86Sr）\]i值,不存在幔源岩浆混合的痕迹;而且,大多数暗色微粒包体与寄主花岗岩在晶体化学、形成年龄、全岩和锆石同位素成分等方面显示出完全相似的特征,反映出两者在时空与物质上都具有紧密的成因联系。本文认为,暗色微粒包体不应该是壳幔岩浆混合作用的产物。基于包体岩浆极小的体量和稍晚的侵位（相对于寄主花岗岩）,本文提出一种新的暗色微粒包体的形成方式：同造山花岗岩浆的主动上侵造成岩浆房内的 “负压力” 而导致岩浆房下部呈晶粥状态的闪长质层发生等温减压熔融作用,从而形成体量极小的包体岩浆;并即时 “注入” 地壳上部尚未固结的寄主花岗岩中,快速冷凝形成暗色微粒包体。因此,暗色微粒包体不能被视作为 “壳幔岩浆混合作用” 的证据。

浙东早白垩世岩浆混合作用：新昌小将岩体U-Pb年代学及地球化学证据

在中国东南沿海地区广泛发育的中生代中酸性岩浆岩中多处发现了暗色包体,被认为是大规模壳幔相互作用和岩浆混合作用的产物。本文获得了浙东新昌地区小将岩体的花岗岩及暗色闪长质包体的锆石U-Pb年代学和和地球化学新结果。锆石U-Pb定年表明寄主花岗岩(121.1±0.9Ma)与暗色闪长质包体(117.6±1.0Ma)近于同期形成于早白垩纪。寄主花岗岩为高硅、富碱、富钾、准铝质或弱过铝质的钙碱性花岗岩,具有较强的铕负异常(δEu=0.23~0.30)和Sr、Ba、P和Ti等元素的亏损,属于高分异的I型花岗岩;暗色闪长质包体具有重稀土亏损的特征,与寄主花岗岩在主量和微量元素上呈现混合作用趋势。小将岩体的上述特征与浙东晚中生代和福建沿海同期的岩浆岩特征一致,它们可能都是在早白垩纪伸展构造背景下,起源于俯冲交代的岩石圈地幔部分熔融产生的基性岩浆或者演化为闪长质成分,并与壳源花岗质岩浆发生混合作用的结果。本文研究为浙东及浙闽沿海地区晚中生代壳-幔作用和岩浆混合作用提供了新的证据。     

东天山八大石早二叠世二长花岗岩中闪长质包体的特征、锆石定年及其地质意义

东天山八大石黑云母二长花岗岩中广泛发育闪长质包体.闪长质包体与寄主花岗岩在矿物组合上不同,但两者中同类矿物的种属相似.与寄主花岗岩相比,闪长质包体的Fe、Mg、Ti、Ca含量较高,而Na、K、Si的含量较低;富HREE、Sr,贫Ba、Th、Hf、Zr.锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄显示闪长质包体与寄主花岗岩在形成时间上非常接近(分别为301±1 Ma和298±2 Ma),表明两者均形成于早二叠世.闪长质包体和寄主花岗岩具有正的εNd(t)(+4.15和+3.06)、较低的(87Sr/86Sr)i (0.704 12和 0.704 75)和相近的模式年龄tDM(812 Ma和944 Ma),暗示其母岩浆来自新元古代时从亏损地幔分离出来的初生地壳源区.综合岩石学、地球化学和同位素等方面的对比研究,笔者认为八大石闪长质包体属于同源包体,为寄主花岗岩同源母岩浆经结晶分异作用形成的早期产物.     

江西印支期蔡江岩体中暗色微粒包体的发现及其地质意义

文章报道了江西蔡江花岗质岩体中发现暗色微粒包体,以及这些包体的地质、岩相学、LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学和元素地球化学特征。包体多呈椭圆状,显示淬冷边和反向脉,具有典型的岩浆结构并含有针状磷灰石,有的包体含有长石捕虏晶。包体具有相对较低的SiO₂（低至57.05 wt%）和较高的MgO+Fe₂O₃（高达14.21 wt%）含量。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年数据表明,包体形成于晚三叠世（224 Ma）,与寄主花岗岩（230~228 Ma）在误差范围内基本一致。上述特征表明,包体是离散的幔源偏基性岩浆团或者是幔源与寄主岩浆混合的产物。原始包体岩浆属于超钾质岩浆,可能是通过岩石圈地幔中交代成因的金云母辉石岩脉发生部分熔融而形成的。暗色微粒包体的发现为幔源岩浆底侵提供了直接证据,从而为蔡江花岗质岩石形成于较高温度提供佐证。该研究对于进一步探讨华南印支期花岗岩形成的热源机制具有意义。     

西天山晚石炭世岩浆混合花岗岩的确定及其地质意义——来自玉奇布拉克和乌图精河岩体的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和岩石地球化学证据

西天山博罗科努地区的玉奇布拉克和乌图精河岩体中发育大量暗色闪长质包体,包体发育矿物相互包裹的嵌晶及岩浆冷凝矿物不平衡结构,同时出现淬冷形成的针状磷灰石,指示岩体形成过程经历了二元岩浆的混合作用。包体较寄主花岗岩有明显低的SiO_2、K_2O,高CaO、FeO~T和MgO,但二者的微量元素高度一致,相对富集Rb、Th、U、K等LILE,贫HFSE,亏损Sr、Nb、Ta、P和Ti等元素,为二元岩浆混合作用所致。经LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,两个岩体寄主花岗岩和包体分别获得301 Ma、308 Ma和303 Ma、298 Ma的形成年龄,指示同期不同源岩浆活动并存。寄主花岗岩的ε_(Hf)(t)值分别为+4.20~+8.33和+4.97~+7.0;Hf陆壳模式年龄T C_(DM)为782~1045 Ma和863~998 Ma,揭示它们主要源自新元古代早期陆壳物质。包体的εHf(t)值分别为+2.75~+6.41和+4.63~+7.92,与区域上同期基性岩脉正的εHf(t)和εNd(t)值相当。结合区域上同期花岗岩类高ε_(Hf)(t)和ε_(Nd)(t)、中等n(~(87)Sr)/n(~(86)Sr)推断,该期花岗岩是新元古代早期陆壳物质部分熔融的岩浆与被消减带组分改造的略亏损岩石圈地幔岩浆混合作用的结果,并构成由晚石炭世高钾钙碱性花岗岩向早二叠世富钾花岗岩/或A型花岗岩转换的岩浆演化系列,表明晚石炭世—早二叠世期间西天山造山带转入后碰撞晚期向伸展转化的构造环境。陆壳伸展导致幔源基性岩浆上侵,诱发陆壳部分熔融产生壳源岩浆,二者混合形成晚古生代以来西天山最为广泛的花岗岩浆活动,成为区内一次重要的地壳垂向增生事件。     

南秦岭地体东江口花岗岩及其基性包体的锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成

东江口花岗岩体位于商丹与勉略缝合带之间的南秦岭中部,其中存在大量基性暗色微粒包体.锆石的LA-MCICPMS联机U-Pb年代学分析表明,东江口岩体的形成年龄为223Ma,其包体锆石的结晶年龄为222Ma,与寄主岩体大致同时形成,指示秦岭造山带印支晚期岩石圈构造体制属性从挤压.伸展转变发生在220Ma左右.锆石的Lu-Hf同位素原位分析结果表明,南秦岭晚三叠纪花岗岩是壳幔混合作用的产物,亏损的幔源岩浆与南秦岭(或扬子)的基底地壳物质可能为南秦岭地区晚三叠纪花岗岩的源区物质,它们的形成起因于秦岭造山带在主造山期后发生的岩石圈拆沉作用.大约220Ma开始,南秦岭岩石圈构造应力性质从挤压向伸展构造体制转变,岩石圈发生拆沉作用,地幔软流圈物质上涌并底侵于下地壳,诱发下地壳物质的部分熔融,当岩浆沿构造薄弱带上升过程中,幔源岩浆与寄主岩浆发生成份的交换,两种岩浆混合过程中不完全混溶,最终形成寄主岩体和暗色基性微粒包体.

太行山北段出露大规模中生代岩浆岩带,以中酸性岩为主,普遍含有基性微粒包体。锆石的SHRIMP U-Pb年代学研究表明,包体形成于126Ma左右,与寄主岩石大致同时形成。锆石的LA-MC-ICPMS Lu-Hf同位素原位测量研究表明,基性岩来自富集地幔的部分熔融,并遭受了一定程度的地壳混染;主要的中酸性岩基形成于壳幔岩浆混和过程,而岩基中微粒基性包体是经历分离结晶的基性岩浆注入酸性岩浆房中形成。     

Timing of Magma Mixing in the Gangdisě Magmatic Belt during the India-Asia Collision： Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb Dating

Abstract  Abundant mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) extensively distribute in granitoids in the Gangdisê giant magmatic belt, within which the Qüxü batholith is the most typical MME‐bearing pluton. Systematic sampling for granodioritic host rock, mafic microgranular enclaves and gabbro nearby at two locations in the Qüxü batholith, and subsequent zircon SHRIMP II U‐Pb dating have been conducted. Two sets of isotopic ages for granodioritic host rock, mafic microgranular enclaves and gabbro are 50.4±1.3 Ma, 51.2±1.1 Ma, 47.0±1 Ma and 49.3±1.7 Ma, 48.9±1.1 Ma, 49.9±1.7 Ma, respectively. It thus rules out the possibilities of mafic microgranular enclaves being refractory residues after partial melting of magma source region, or being xenoliths of country rocks or later intrusions. Therefore, it is believed that the three types of rocks mentioned above likely formed in the same magmatic event, i.e., they formed by magma mixing in the Eocene (c. 50 Ma). Compositionally, granitoid host rocks incline towards acidic end member involved in magma mixing, gabbros are akin to basic end member and mafic microgranular enclaves are the incompletely mixed basic magma clots trapped in acidic magma. The isotopic dating also suggested that huge‐scale magma mixing in the Gangdisê belt took place 15–20 million years after the initiation of the India‐Asia continental collision, genetically related to the underplating of subduction‐collision‐induced basic magma at the base of the continental crust. Underplating and magma mixing were likely the main process of mass‐energy exchange between the mantle and the crust during the continental collision, and greatly contributed to the accretion of the continental crust, the evolution of the lithosphere and related mineralization beneath the portion of the Tibetan Plateau to the north of the collision zone.     

云南马厂箐岩体中深源包体特征及其锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb年龄

马厂箐岩体属于滇西富碱侵入岩的重要组成部分,在马厂箐岩体中发现了镁铁质暗色深源包体,这对于研究滇西富碱侵入岩带的起源、演化、成岩成矿作用以及区域地球动力学机制具有重要意义。本文基于对深源包体地质特征研究,通过开展LA-ICPMSU-Pb锆石定年,得到花岗斑岩中镁铁质深源包体锆石U-Pb加权平均年龄为35.13±0.23Ma(MSWD=0.64),与其寄主岩花岗斑岩年龄(35.0±0.2Ma)和(似)斑状花岗岩年龄(33.78±0.21Ma)较为一致,结合深源包体及其寄主岩锆石的Th/U比值及Ti温度计特征,证明了包体的岩浆混合成因。分析认为:马厂箐富碱侵入岩体为壳源岩浆与幔源岩浆混合作用的产物;包体与其寄主岩具有相同或相似的岩浆演化过程;35Ma左右存在幔源岩浆的底侵注入,幔源岩浆的注入混合可能是这套岩浆成矿的关键。     

西藏措勤麦嘎岩基的锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学和锆石Hf同位素:对中部拉萨地块早白垩世花岗岩类岩石成因的约束

西藏中部拉萨地块大规模早白垩世花岗岩类的岩浆源区和岩石成因迄今尚未得到很好约束,对这些问题的深入理解将有助于揭示拉萨地块白垩纪时期的岩浆作用过程及成矿背景。本文报道了中部拉萨地块代表性花岗岩基——措勤麦嘎岩基的锆石U-Pb年代学、全岩元素地球化学、Sr-Nd同位素和锆石Hf同位素数据。本文锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,麦嘎岩基花岗质岩主要侵位于122±1Ma和113±2Ma,闪长质包体与后者同期(113±2Ma)。122±1Ma花岗质岩属I型弱过铝质高钾钙碱性系列,(87Sr/86Sr)i值高(0.7147),全岩εNd(t)(-12.0)和锆石εHf(t)(-15.7～-11.1)为较大的负值,表明其很可能来源于古老下地壳物质的重熔。113±2Ma寄主花岗质岩为I型偏铝质-弱过铝质高钾钙碱性系列,相对于122±1Ma花岗质岩石,其(87Sr/86Sr)i比值偏低(0.7094～0.7156)、全岩εNd(t)值(-12.1～-7.3)和锆石εHf(t)值(-11.1～0.1)较高,很可能来源于古老下地壳物质的部分熔融,并含有更多幔源物质。闪长质包体(113±2Ma)为偏铝质中-高钾钙碱性系列,以变化范围大的(87Sr/86Sr)i(0.7058～0.7105)、负的全岩εNd(t)值(-10.7～-9.8)及负的锆石εHf(t)值(-14.0～-5.6)为特征,可能是古老富集岩石圈地幔物质部分熔融的产物或亏损地幔物质经历强烈地壳混染作用的结果。在目前已有资料条件下(缺乏同期基性岩石的相关数据),本文暂将麦嘎岩基113±2Ma寄主花岗质岩及同期闪长质包体解释为镁铁质岩浆与长英质岩浆发生不同程度岩浆混合作用的产物,这一解释可能对中部拉萨地块同期花岗类的岩石成因具普遍意义。麦嘎岩基及中部拉萨地块同期岩浆岩约113Ma幔源物质增加现象,可能是南向俯冲的班公湖-怒江洋壳岩石圈板片断离的结果。     

塔里木南缘布雅花岗岩和暗色包体的锆石U-Pb年代学及地球化学特征

塔里木西南缘铁克里克地区广泛发育早古生代中酸性侵入岩,本文对其中布雅岩体及其暗色包体进行系统的岩石学、年代学及岩石地球化学研究,确定了岩石成因及其构造属性。LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究表明,寄主石英二长闪长岩结晶年龄为432.6±2.5 Ma(MSWD=1.5),暗色包体结晶年龄为432.4±6.4 Ma(MSWD=0.031),二者形成时代相同,均为志留纪早期岩浆活动的产物。地球化学特征表明,布雅暗色包体应来源于地幔的部分熔融,而寄主岩石岩浆具有壳源岩浆的性质并经历了幔源岩浆不均匀的混合。野外及岩相学特征均显示暗色包体为铁镁质岩浆注入长英质岩浆快速冷凝形成的,是幔源岩浆底侵下地壳形成的岩浆混合作用的产物。它们是塔里木南缘早古生代碰撞造山作用晚期的岩浆记录。     

西藏拉萨地块西段狮泉河地区晚侏罗世花岗岩年代学、地球化学与岩石成因

目前关于拉萨地块西段狮泉河地区中生代岩浆岩的报道相对较少，限制了对该地区中生代岩浆作用的认识.对狮泉河地区石英闪长岩和闪长质包体的锆石U-Pb年龄、岩石学特征与元素地球化学进行了研究.结果显示，寄主石英闪长岩的年龄为161.1±1.7 Ma，闪长质包体的年龄为159.8±1.6 Ma和157.0±1.3 Ma，两者为同期形成.寄主石英闪长岩为I型准铝质中钾-高钾钙碱性系列岩石，具有富集大离子亲石元素、亏损高场强元素的特征.闪长质包体为准铝质中钾-高钾钙碱性系列岩石.岩石学、地球化学特征研究表明，该套岩石可能与中侏罗世班公湖-怒江特提斯洋南向俯冲有关，班公湖-怒江特提斯洋南向俯冲引起幔源物质发生熔融，上涌的幔源岩浆与拉萨地块古老基底重熔形成的酸性岩浆混合，形成了含闪长质包体的晚侏罗世岩体.      

Magma mixing in the Sithonia Plutonic Complex, Greece: evidence from mafic microgranular enclaves

Summary ¶Mafic microgranular enclaves occur in most calc-alkaline granitoids, and it is widely accepted that they represent the remnants of basic magmas that interacted with more acid magmas. In this work we present new data on mafic microgranular enclaves occurring in the granodiorites of the Sithonia Plutonic Complex (Northern Greece). Enclave properties have been studied using different methods. Quantitative textural analysis has been carried out in order to decipher the crystallization history of enclaves once they have been entrained in the more acid and cooler host magma. In particular, the nucleation density (C), the mode (M) and the crystal index (n) of enclaves has been measured. Along with textural analysis, the size of enclaves has also been estimated using a method that, based on two-dimensional sections of enclaves, allows the estimation of volume of enclaves. Geochemical analyses have been performed to investigate the degree of chemical interaction that enclaves suffered from the host acid magma. The different data sets have been utilized to furnish a general evolutionary model of the magmatic interaction process between the basic and the acid magmas that led to the formation of the granodioritic host rock and related mafic microgranular enclaves. It is concluded that, as the magmatic interaction process proceeded, the crystallization of enclaves involved the nucleation of apatite and epidote (first stage of crystallization) followed by biotite, ± hornblende, plagioclase, and titanite (second stage of crystallization); the last minerals that nucleate were quartz and K-feldspar. During crystallization enclaves underwent contamination by the host acid magma through flow channels opened during the transfer of mineral phases from the host magma to the enclaves. When the two magmas attained similar rheological behaviour a two-end member mixing process was favoured inducing progressively more vigorous mixing dynamics. Volumetric analysis of enclaves indicates that the smaller ones suffered a more intense geochemical interaction compared to the larger ones. We interpret this evidence as being strictly related to the kinematics of the mixing process, the latter governed by chaotic dynamics. Enclaves are viewed as portions of the basic magma that did not mix completely with the acid host magma and survived the mixing process. Host rocks are considered as volumes of the magmatic system where the more efficient mixing dynamics produced different, generally higher, degrees of hybridisation.Received May 22, 2002; revised version accepted November 5, 2002 Published online February 24, 2003     

Juvenile vs. recycled crust in NE China: Zircon U–Pb geochronology,Hf isotope and an integrated model for Mesozoic gold mineralization in the Jiaodong Peninsula

The continental crust of the North China Craton (NCC) is a major reservoir of mineral resources with imprints of secular changes in tectonics and metallogeny. The Jiaodong Peninsula, located in the eastern margin of the North China Craton (NCC), is currently one of the largest gold producers over the globe, and preserves the records of multiple magmatic and metamorphic events. Here we characterize the timing and tectonics of the major Mesozoic magmatism and the associated gold metallogeny in this region through a comprehensive U–Pb geochronological and Hf isotope investigation of zircons in a suite of granitoids, mafic magmatic enclaves, melanocratic dikes and melted basement rocks.The Linglong granite, hosting one of the major gold deposits in Jiaodong, shows emplacement ages between 150 and 160 Ma, and the dominantly negative ε_Hf (t) values (− 34.0 to − 23.8) of zircons from this intrusion suggest magma derivation from recycled components in the Archean basement. The Guojialing granodiorite and its mafic magmatic enclaves show similar ages between 123 and 127 Ma, with negative ε_Hf (t) values (− 19.3 to − 16.8), corresponding to crustal magma source. The melanocratic dikes, belonging to pre- and syn-mineralization stages, with U–Pb age range of 126 to 166 Ma display large variation in their zircon ε_Hf (t) values (− 25.7 and 2.3) suggesting the involvement of both recycled crustal and juvenile mantle components. Zircons in the melted basement rocks with ages in the range of ca. 127–132 Ma also display both positive and negative ε_Hf (t) values (− 44.6 and 9.8) indicating a mixture of recycled ancient crust and juvenile magmas. Our study shows that although the peak of gold metallogeny coincided with the tectonics associated with Pacific plate subduction which mobilized and concentrated the ores, the source materials of gold mineralization and magmatism had multiple origins including from the Precambrian basement rocks, Mesozoic granitoids and mantle-derived mafic magmas with extensive mixing of crustal, lithosphere mantle and asthenospheric components. A combination of delamination, mantle upwelling, subduction-related metasomatic enrichment and recycling of ancient components facilitated the gold metallogeny in this region. Our study provides a typical case of juvenile and recycled components in the formation and evolution of continental crust and associated mineral resources.
