对桐庐早白垩世火山—侵入岩成因的几点认识

本文报导了对桐庐火山－侵入岩进一步研究所获得的认识。单颗锆石Ｕ－Ｐｂ年龄测定表明桐庐火山－侵入岩是早白垩世火山活动的产物（１３４．４～１３４．９Ｍａ）。浅部岩浆房中从上往下的流纹质、流纹英安质和石英闪长质岩浆具有相近似的Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ和Ｓｍ－Ｎｄ同位素初始比,（８７Ｓｒ／８６Ｓｒ）ｉ＝０．７０８～０．７０９、εＮｄ（ｔ）＝－５．２７～－６．５６,高场强元素比（如Ｚｒ／Ｎｂ＝１０．１～１３．１）也相近似,表明盆地中各种火山－侵入杂岩是同源的。流纹英安岩中钾长石碎斑周围“组分过冷边”的存在说明岩穹壳内部酸性岩浆的冷凝、结晶要比酸性熔岩流来得慢。盆地中心浅成侵入岩中的中性岩包体的Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ和Ｓｍ－Ｎｄ同位素成分、Ｍｇ／（Ｍｇ＋Ｆｅ）以及Ｎａ／（Ｎａ＋Ｃａ）比表明它们是岩浆房下部石英闪长质岩浆的岩浆熔离作用产物     

豫西元古宙盆岭构造及其形成机制

华北地块自太古宙形成统一的克拉通之后，于元古宙时期进入伸展张裂构造演化阶段。在华北地块南部，由于地幔物质运动的不均匀性和地幔柱上涌，发生南北向伸展运动，继之形成熊耳裂陷盆地，伴随岩浆侵入－火山喷发活动，产生板内熊耳群火山岩系。在熊耳裂陷盆地中，基底是起伏不平的，呈现出盆－岭构造景观。熊耳群火山岩系由拉斑－钙碱和钙碱－碱性两个岩石系列组成。晚期碱性岩浆活动形成的正长岩和石英二长岩的单颗粒锆石Ｕ－Ｐｂ年龄分别为（１７５０±６５）Ｍａ和（１７３１±２９）Ｍａ，确定熊耳群上限年龄约为１７００Ｍａ。参照中条山区西阳河群下部许山组中锆石Ｕ－Ｐｂ年龄，熊耳群下限年龄约为１８５０Ｍａ

玲珑花岗岩中锆石的离子质谱U—Pb年龄及其岩石学意义

胶东招掖玲珑花岗岩锆石ＳＨＲＩＭＰＵ－Ｐｂ年龄结果表明,玲珑花岗岩形成于中生代燕山期（岩浆锆石年龄为１５０～１６０Ｍａ之间）,岩体中产有大量的中生代印支期继承锆石（２００～２５０Ｍａ）及少数前寒武纪继承锆石。大量印支期锆石的存在说明玲珑花岗岩是壳源成因的,其源岩主要是中酸性岩石,推测可能是印支期华北华南两地块碰撞形成的造山花岗岩,这否定了长期以来人们普遍接受的玲珑花岗岩主是胶东群变质岩重熔或交代－重熔的认识。

中国东南部晚中生代花岗质火山-侵入杂岩特征与成因

晚中生代期间,中国东南部岩浆活动十分强烈。 由内陆向沿海,花岗岩、火山岩的时代越来越新。花岗岩 与酸性、中酸性火山岩在成因上存在密切联系。在时间、空间和成岩物质来源一致的条件下 ,花岗岩可视为流纹岩、英安岩所构成的中心式火山机构的“根”,形成所谓的花岗质火山-侵入杂岩。中国东南部的花岗质火山-侵入杂岩可以区分为同熔型、陆壳重熔型和A 型三类,它们具有不同的构造环境、形成机制和物质来源。同熔型火山-侵入杂岩主要分布 于沿海,陆壳重熔型火山-侵入杂岩一般分布于内陆,而 A型花岗质火山-侵入杂岩主要受浙闽沿海长乐-南澳断裂带控制。 以桐庐和相山两个典型杂岩体为代表剖析了花岗质火山-侵入杂岩 体的时、空、源一致性,所揭示的规律对于认识整个中国东南部晚中生代花岗质火山-侵入 杂岩的成因具有普遍意义。     

Assessing volcanic origins within detrital zircon populations——A case study from the Mesozoic non-volcanic margin of southern Australia

Detrital zircon U/Pb geochronology is a common tool used to resolve stratigraphic questions,inform basin evolution and constrain regional geological histories.In favourable circumstances,detrital zircon populations can contain a concomitant volcanic contribution that provides constraints on the age of deposition.However,for non-volcanic settings,proving isolated detrital zircon grains are from contemporaneous and potentially remote volcanism is challenging.Here we use same grain(U-Th)/He thermochronology coupled with U/Pb geochronology to identify detrital zircon grains of contemporary volcanic origin.(U-Th)/He ages from Cretaceous zircon grains in southern Australia define a single population with a weighted mean age of 104±6.1 Ma.indistinguishable from zircon U/Pb geochronology and palynology(～104.0-107.5 Ma).Detrital zircon trace-element geochemistry is consistent with a continental signature for parent rocks and coupled with detrital grain ages,supports derivation from a2000 km distant early-to mid-Cretaceous Whitsunday Volcanic Province in eastern Australia.Thus,integration of biostratigraphy,single-grain zircon double-dating(geochronology and thermochronology)and grain geochemistry enhances fingerprinting of zircon source region and transport history.A distal volcanic source and rapid continental-scale transport to southern Australia is supported here.     

Testing inferences from palaeocurrents: application of zircon double‐dating to Miocene sediments from the Hengchun Peninsula,Taiwan

Detrital zircon provenance studies that combine low‐temperature fission‐track and high‐temperature U–Pb single‐grain age dating are powerful in constraining sediment provenance by documenting the tectonothermal evolution of the sediment source(s). We apply these techniques to Miocene (12–6 Ma) sandstones of the Hengchun Peninsula, southern Taiwan, which, based on diametrically opposite palaeocurrents, have a controversial provenance. U–Pb grain ages range from the Miocene (8 Ma) to Archaean (2.5 Ga). Cretaceous thermal cooling is recorded by detrital zircon fission tracks at Loshui and Lilongshan. Permian fission‐track grain ages account for <33% of zircon ages from Loshui, while at Lilongshan, Jurassic/Triassic grain ages account for 33–66% of all zircon fission‐track ages. Minor (<12%) Miocene age components are detected in both formations. These new data suggest that the primary sources of these Miocene sediments were similar. A simple model is proposed invoking sediment reworking in this complex tectonic setting. Terra Nova, 00, 000–000, 2010     

Thermochronology of Mesozoic Sandstone from the Beipiao Basin and Its Implication to Meso-Cenozoic Tectonic Evolution of the Eastern Yan-Liao Orogenic Belt

Metamorphic zircon formation by solid-state recrystallization of protolith igneous zircon

Protolith zircon in high‐grade metagranitoids from Queensland, Australia, partially recrystallized during granulite‐grade metamorphism. We describe the zircon in detail using integrated cathodoluminescence, U–Pb isotope, trace element and electron backscatter diffraction pattern (EBSP) analyses. Primary igneous oscillatory zoning is partially modified or obliterated in areas within single crystals, but is well preserved in other areas. A variety of secondary internal structures are observed, with large areas of transgressive recrystallized zircon usually dominant. Associated with these areas are recrystallization margins, interpreted to be recrystallization fronts, that have conformable boundaries with transgressive recrystallized areas, but contrasting cathodoluminescence and trace element chemistry. Trace element analyses of primary and secondary structures provide compelling evidence for closed‐system solid‐state recrystallization. By this process, trace elements in the protolith zircon are purged during recrystallization and partitioned between the enriched recrystallization front and depleted recrystallized areas. However, recrystallization is not always efficient, often leaving a ‘memory’ of the protolith trace element and isotopic composition. This results in the measurement of ‘mixed’ U–Pb isotope ages. Nonetheless, the age of metamorphism has been determined. A correlation between apparent age and Th/U ratio is indicative of incomplete re‐setting by partial recrystallization. Recrystallization is shown to probably not significantly affect Lu–Hf ages. Recrystallization has been determined by textural and trace element analysis and EBSP data not to have proceeded by sub‐grain rotation or local dissolution/re‐precipitation, but probably by grain‐boundary migration and defect diffusion. The formation of metamorphic zircon by solid‐state recrystallization is probably common to high‐grade terranes worldwide. The recognition of this process of formation is essential for correct interpretation of zircon‐derived U–Pb ages and subsequent tectonic models.     

Evidence from zircon dating for existence of approximately 2.1 Ga old crystalline basement in southern Bohemia,Czech Republic

Zircon ages are reported for three Moldanubian amphibolite grade orthogneisses from the southern Bohemian Massif obtained by conventional U/Pb analyses. For two of these orthogneisses, conventional U/Pb data are supported by ion microprobe single zircon ages or single grain evaporation data. The amphibolite grade orthogneisses, occurring in three small tectonic lenses within the Varied Group close to the South Bohemian Main Thrust, are of tonalitic, granodioritic or quartz dioritic composition.Conventional bulk size fraction and ion microprobe analyses of nearly euhedral zircons from a metatonalite, erroneously interpreted as a metagreywacke in a previous study, yielded an upper Concordia intercept age of 2048 ± 12 Ma. The well preserved euhedral grain shapes of the zircons suggest crystallization from a magmatic phase, and the upper Concordia intercept age is now interpreted as reflecting a magmatic event at that time. The age of this rock is compatible with the conventional zircon data and the (²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb)^* single grain evaporation result from two further orthogneisses providing intrusion ages of 2 060 ± 12, 2 104 ± 1 and 2 061 ± 6 Ma, respectively. For one sample a concordant U/Pb age for sphene of 355 ± 2 Ma defines the age of amphibolite facies metamorphism. The upper Concordia intercept ages of three orthogneisses constitute the first direct evidence for the presence of early Proterozoic crust under the supracrustal cover in the southern part of the Bohemian Massif.

A Potential (U‐Th)/He Zircon Reference Material from Penglai Zircon Megacrysts

In this study (U‐Th)/He dating of the Penglai zircons, which occur as abundant megacrysts in Neogene alkaline basalts in northern Hainan Province, south‐eastern China, was undertaken. A weighted mean age of 4.06 ± 0.35 Ma (2s) with a mean square weighted deviation (MSWD) of 1.79 was obtained from eighteen fragments of four zircon megacrysts using single‐crystal laser fusion He determinations and the U‐Th isotope dilution (ID) method. The (U‐Th)/He ages are consistent, homogeneous and systematically slightly younger than the preferred ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 4.4 ± 0.1 Ma (95% confidence interval) determined by ID‐TIMS and subsequently published U‐Pb results. The U‐Pb isotopic system in zircon has a high closure temperature of ~ 900 °C, and the preferred U‐Pb age may record both the time since eruption and the zircon residence time in the magma chamber. In contrast, the closure temperature of the zircon (U‐Th)/He system is ~ 190 °C and the zircon megacrysts were brought quickly to the surface by the host basaltic magma. Thus, the (U‐Th)/He age represents the timing of the eruption. Based on the unlimited quantity, large grain size, mostly weak broad zoning, rapid cooling and homogenous (U‐Th)/He ages, we consider the Penglai zircons suitable for use as a reference material in (U‐Th)/He isotope geochronology.     

Pb,U, Tl,Hf and Zr distributions in zircons determined by proton microprobe and fission track techniques

A proton microprobe has been used to determine Pb, Tl, Hf and Zr distributions across four single zircon crystals separated from a ‘rapakivi’ granite. The Pb and Zr data are quantitative: Pb and Tl concentrations were below the measurable limits for determinations in situ by most other techniques. The distribution of U in the same crystals was determined by the fission track technique. Limits on precision of U allow only a qualitative correlation of U and Pb, whereas the Tl and Pb correlation is more exactly determined.Zircons with distinct cores and overgrowths exhibited uniform Zr and Hf concentrations across the crystals, whereas the high U rims and ‘inclusions’ (domains) also had high Tl and Pb contents. Since almost all the Pb in these zircons is derived by radioactive decay of U, the Tl substitution has paralleled that of U. The results indicate that the high U domains are ‘hot spots’ rather than a separate mineral phase. The strong positive correlation of U and Pb indicates that there is little U daughter product migration relative to U, within the crystal. However, for the zircon population investigated here, the data are equivocal on the question of whether U addition to zircon crystals is associated with new zircon growth or not. In either case, the heterogeneous U and Pb distributions complicate any interpretations of U-Pb isotopic analysis for such zircon populations.     

Enhanced diffusion of Uranium and Thorium linked to crystal plasticity in zircon

The effects of crystal-plasticity on the U-Th-Pb system in zircon is studied by quantitative microstructural and microchemical analysis of a large zircon grain collected from pyroxenite of the Lewisian Complex, Scotland. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) mapping reveals a c.18° variation in crystallographic orientation that comprises both a gradual change in orientation and a series of discrete low-angle (<4°) boundaries. These microstructural data are consistent with crystal-plastic deformation of zircon associated with the formation and migration of dislocations. A heterogeneous pattern of dark cathodoluminescence, with the darkest domains coinciding with low-angle boundaries, mimics the deformation microstructure identified by EBSD. Geochemical data collected using the Sensitive High Resolution Ion MicroProbe (SHRIMP) shows a positive correlation between concentrations of the elements U, Th and Pb (ranging from 20–60 ppm, 30–110 ppm, and 14–36 ppm, respectively) and Th/U ratio (1.13 – 1.8) with the deformation microstructure. The highest measured concentrations and Th/U coincide with low-angle boundaries. This enrichment is interpreted to reflect enhanced bulk diffusion of U and Th due to the formation and migration of high-diffusivity dislocations. ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb ages for individual analyses show no significant variation across the grain, and define a concordant, combined mean age of 2451 ± 14 Ma. This indicates that the grain was deformed shortly after initial crystallization, most probably during retrograde Inverian metamorphism at amphibolite facies conditions. The elevated Th over U and consistent ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb ages indicates that deformation most likely occurred in the presence of a late-stage magmatic fluid that drove an increase in the Th/U during deformation. The relative enrichment of Th over U implies that Th/U ratio may not always be a robust indicator of crystallization environment. This study provides the first evidence of deformation-related modification of the U-Th system in zircon and has fundamental implications for the application and interpretation of zircon trace element data.

The paleoproterozoic Kandalaksha Anorthosite Massif: New U–Pb (ID–TIMS) data and geochemical features of zircon

New U–Pb and Sm–Nd isotope data have been obtained in the Kandalaksha–Kolvitsa zone, Baltic Shield, on accessory zircon and rutile, along with whole-rock and secondary metamorphic minerals. Isotope U–Pb age of single zircon grains from metagabbro of the Kandalaksha Anorthosite Massif is 2453.5 ± 4.8 Ma, which is close to the U–Pb age of zircon from the Kolvitsa Massif metagabbro (2448 ± 5 Ma). For the first time, REEs in zircon grains of the Kandalaksha metagabbro have been analyzed and the results have been plotted. Ti-in-zircon thermometry has been applied using LA–ICP–MS: it yielded an average temperature of zircon crystallization of 844°C. The isotope and geochemical new data obtained indicate a magmatic genesis of the zircon crystals studied.
