福建紫金山矿田中生代岩浆岩演化序列研究

福建紫金山矿田中生代岩浆活动分为晚侏罗世和早白垩世二幕,第一幕为晚侏罗世(154~149 Ma)挤压环境下的岩浆活动,表现为壳源S型花岗岩紫金山复式岩体与才溪岩体的侵位,复式岩体具有154 Ma、150 Ma及149 Ma三次脉动;才溪岩体侵位时代约150 Ma。第二幕发生于早白垩世(125~93 Ma)构造拉张、地幔上涌的环境,岩浆活动共4期,形成一套 I 型花岗岩及共源异相的火山岩、次火山岩,为成矿提供了物源和热源。其中第1期为早白垩世火山喷发与岩浆超浅层就位,形成石帽山群下段的英安岩及紫金山次火山岩(125~118 Ma);第2期表现为石帽山群下段安山岩喷发与四方岩体的侵位以及英安玢岩的形成(109~103 Ma);第3期表现为石帽山群下段英安岩的喷发和罗卜岭—紫金山似斑状花岗闪长(斑)岩的侵位以及龙江亭、二庙沟附近的石英闪长玢岩的形成(103~100 Ma);第4期表现为晚期罗卜岭斑岩的侵位、石帽山群上段流纹岩的喷发和大岩里花岗斑岩岩脉、金铜矿的石英斑岩脉等成矿后期无矿脉岩的形成(100~93 Ma)。晚侏罗世、早白垩世两个岩浆系统各自形成共源岩浆异地异相分异演化的格局。     

北京云蒙山地区中生代岩浆活动及构造演化

北京云蒙山地区位于华北克拉通北缘燕山褶断带中段。该地区发育大量中生代岩浆岩及近E—W向逆冲型四合堂剪切带和NE向伸展型大水峪剪切带。本次工作通过锆石年代学和单矿物(角闪石、黑云母)~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年代学分析,进一步整理了云蒙山地区中生代岩浆活动及构造演化的时间,并分析了云蒙山岩基周边不同阶段的冷却速率。本次工作发现云蒙山地区经历了三期岩浆活动:晚三叠世、晚侏罗世和早白垩世。其中,206 Ma为捕获岩浆锆石年代学记录;在出露岩体中,沙陀子岩体为159~151 Ma,石城岩体为169~151 Ma,长园岩体为156~151 Ma,云蒙山岩基为146~141 Ma;冯家峪—西白莲峪花岗质岩体为130~124 Ma;冯家峪闪长质岩体为127 Ma;大东沟花岗质岩体为127 Ma。云蒙山地区经历了三次重要的构造事件。在早侏罗世,云蒙山地区表现为区域性角度不整合,并以挤压运动为主,缺乏岩浆活动。在早白垩世早期(143~135.5 Ma),云蒙山岩基北缘发育逆冲型四合堂剪切带。在早白垩世晚期(135~93.9 Ma),云蒙山地区发育以东南侧大水峪剪切带为主拆离剪切带的变质核杂岩。此外,云蒙山岩基的北侧和西侧,早期受四合堂剪切带影响,具有较高的冷却速率。云蒙山岩基的东侧,早期受四合堂剪切带影响较小,具有较小的冷却速率,以缓慢的均衡隆升为主,而晚期受大水峪剪切带强烈活动影响,为快速隆升阶段。总之,云蒙山地区在中生代经历了多期次的岩浆活动及构造运动,在不同地区呈现了阶段性不同程度的抬升剥蚀。     

大兴安岭中南段甘珠尔庙地区晚中生代两期花岗岩的时代、成因、物源及其构造背景

大兴安岭晚中生代岩浆活动在东北亚晚中生代构造岩浆演化研究中具有重要意义。本文首次报道了大兴安岭中南段甘珠尔庙地区5个晚中生代花岗岩体的锆石U-Pb年龄和地球化学研究结果。这些岩体形成于晚侏罗世(154Ma)和早白垩世(139~125Ma),显示高硅富碱特征,属高钾钙碱性系列,为高分异钙碱性I-A过渡型花岗岩,其中,早白垩世花岗岩分异程度高于晚侏罗世花岗岩。锆石Hf同位素特征显示,这些花岗岩源区以年轻物质为主,其中,晚侏罗世花岗岩εHf(t)值(+9.9~+15.9)高于该区底侵的新生下地壳,源区可能有更年轻的新底侵物质参与。早白垩世花岗岩εHf(t)值略低(+3.4~+13.9),其物源主要为底侵的新生下地壳和古生代俯冲增生杂岩混源,可能还混有少量更年轻的新底侵物质。结合区域资料分析,甘珠尔庙地区晚中生代花岗岩形成于后造山伸展背景,这种背景可能与蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋闭合碰撞后伸展有关。     

胶东半岛中生代侵入岩浆活动序列及其构造制约

胶东半岛是我国东部中生代花岗质岩石较为发育的地区。通过对该区中生代侵入岩体高精度年代学数据资料分析，建立了区内中生代花岗质岩石3个显著不同的演化序列：晚三叠世（225~205 Ma）幔源型花岗岩、晚侏罗世（160~150 Ma）地壳重熔型花岗岩和早白垩世（130~105 Ma）壳幔混合型花岗岩。通过与辽东和鲁西–徐淮地区中生代岩浆活动年代学格架的对比分析，探讨了华北东部地区中生代岩石圈构造演化和深部地球动力学过程。指出胶辽地区晚侏罗世（160~150 Ma）地壳重熔型花岗岩记录了华北东部一次重要的岩石圈地壳增厚事件，其区域动力学背景可能与古太平洋板块低角度向亚洲大陆俯冲作用密切相关。正是这次增厚作用导致了早白垩世时期岩石圈拆沉减薄和大规模伸展型花岗质岩浆活动。岩石圈地壳增厚和减薄作用过程主导了中国东部中生代陆内构造应力体制的转换和岩浆活动序列。     

湖南芙蓉锡矿田Rb-Sr同位素年龄及其地质意义

本文通过对湖南芙蓉矿田的似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩、黑云母二长花岗岩和含矿云英岩进行了全岩Rb-Sr同位素分析，获得等时线年龄分别为155±6 Ma,141±6 Ma和146±3 Ma。前者表明了芙蓉花岗岩主体侵位时间为燕山早期的早-中侏罗世，而后二者表明了芙蓉花岗岩主体侵位后的又一次岩浆活动和成矿作用可能发生在晚侏罗世，该矿田是在构造环境可能为地壳由挤压剪切向拉张伸展转化的时期形成的，而与芙蓉花岗岩主体侵入的岩浆活动无直接的成生关系。     

福建上杭地区燕山期花岗岩锆石U-Pb年代学及Hf同位素组成

选取福建省西南部紫金山中粗粒花岗岩、石壁寨西部含斑细粒二长花岗岩和东部斑状含黑云母二长花岗岩作为研究对象,利用LA-ICP-MS法对三个岩体的锆石进行了U-Pb、Lu-Hf和微量元素分析,获得了3个岩体的岩浆结晶分别为156.5±2.7Ma(晚侏罗世),166.2±8.1Ma(中侏罗世)和154.1±1.4Ma(晚侏罗世)。锆石的Lu-Hf同位素分析结果表明,锆石的两阶段Hf模式年龄(tDM2)分别为1.6~2.2Ga、1.7~2.0Ga和1.7~1.9Ga。锆石Hf同位素初始值ε_(Hf)(t)均为负,分别为-14.88~-8.40、-11.9~-7.8和-10.9~-7.4。锆石的ε_(Hf)(t)、Hf同位素地壳模式年龄分布范围较小,暗示岩体岩浆来源具有较为均一锆石Hf同位素组成。中侏罗世(166.2±8.1Ma)期间,古太平洋板块与欧亚板块发生碰撞,导致洋壳俯冲至陆壳之下,陆壳并发生了小规模的部分熔融,形成了石壁寨西部岩体;碰撞结束后,在晚侏罗世(145~156Ma)期发生由挤压向拉张环境的转换,闽西南岩石圈伸展减薄、壳源物质发生广泛的熔融作用,形成了大规模的紫金山岩体和石壁寨东部岩体。本文的研究成果,为研究闽西南花岗岩体的来源和区域构造演化提供了新的资料证据。     

浙西余杭、临安和富阳交界区中生代侵入岩年代学、地球化学特征及其地质意义

浙西余杭、临安和富阳交界区中生代岩浆侵入活动频繁,发育有闲林、千家花岗闪长岩,拔山、长乐桥二长花岗(斑)岩,鹤山坞和朱村花岗岩,与成矿作用关系密切。SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,中生代岩浆侵入活动分为晚侏罗世(152~147 Ma)、早白垩世早期(139~137 Ma)和早白垩世晚期(104~103 Ma)3个期次,分别对应于花岗闪长岩、二长花岗(斑)岩、花岗岩的成岩时段,即由早期至晚期,岩性具花岗闪长岩→二长花岗(斑)岩→花岗岩的演变规律,与岩石HREE和LREE/HREE分异程度逐渐减弱的地球化学特征一致。余临富交界区中生代中酸性侵入岩具有低TFeO/MgO(1.72~5.28)特征,且P_2O_5与SiO_2呈明显负相关关系,属"Ⅰ"型花岗岩,为地壳深熔和壳幔混合作用的产物。研究表明,晚侏罗世花岗闪长岩形成于太平洋板块俯冲的挤压环境,早白垩世早期二长花岗(斑)岩形成于后碰撞挤压背景向伸展背景的转换阶段,而晚期花岗岩则形成于持续伸展扩张的构造环境。余临富交界区成岩时代与区域晚侏罗世(164~145 Ma)、早白垩世早期(139~135 Ma)和早白垩世晚期(109Ma左右)的3期成矿时代具有较好的一致性,显示了良好的找矿前景。     

腾冲地块高地热异常区晚白垩世-始新世钾玄质强过铝花岗岩岩石地球化学、年代学特征及构造意义

腾冲地块高地热异常区清水左所营初糜棱岩化黑云母二长花岗岩岩体、新华黑石河热田强糜棱岩化黑云母二长花岗岩岩体、热海热田硫磺塘硅化碎裂正长花岗岩岩体变形变质、岩石地球化学及锆石年代学的研究表明,晚白垩世(73Ma)初糜棱岩化黑云母二长花岗岩岩体为高温钾玄质强过铝花岗岩,形成于活动大陆边缘火山弧-后碰撞转换或过渡构造环境,并经历强烈伸展变形作用,普遍发育早期近水平-低角度(30°)韧性伸展剪切糜棱面理,局部发育晚期高角度右旋走滑挤压韧性糜棱面理;始新世(48~46Ma)强糜棱岩化黑云母二长花岗岩岩体、硅化碎裂正长花岗岩岩体为中-高温钾玄质强过铝花岗岩,并具铝质A型花岗岩特征,形成于后碰撞-板内构造环境,以发育晚期高角度(70°~87°)右旋走滑挤压韧性糜棱面理为特征,其右旋走滑韧性剪切变形时代晚于始新世(48~46Ma)。晚白垩世-始新世钾玄质强过铝花岗岩的形成与俯冲-碰撞造山隆升后的伸展垮塌、拆沉地幔物质上涌玄武质岩浆底侵和地壳部分熔融作用密切相关。始新世-第四纪岩浆活动与高地热异常区(带)空间上密切伴生,新近纪晚期-第四纪构造活动主要表现为脆性走滑-拉张正断层和构造拉分断陷盆地的形成,构造断陷边界断裂与深部岩浆活动是导致腾冲地区高地热异常区(带)中-高温地热温泉沿走滑-拉张断裂带集中分布的主要原因。     

华北克拉通东南部蚌埠隆起晚中生代花岗岩类岩体内变形记录与构造意义

华北克拉通东南部蚌埠隆起上出露了一系列晚中生代花岗岩类岩体,记录了丰富的变形过程。本次与前人锆石定年结果表明,该区经历过两期岩浆活动,分别是中—晚侏罗世(167～148 Ma)和早白垩世(130～112Ma)。区内晚侏罗世蚂蚁山岩体记录了切过该岩体的一条北北东向左行韧性变形带,是北北西—南南东向挤压的产物。该走滑变形带在走滑隆升中又被脆性平移断层所叠加。走滑活动时间可以限定在148～130 Ma之间。研究区在130～112 Ma期间转变为强烈的伸展活动,区域拉张方向为北西西—南东东向,并伴随着岩浆活动与区域隆升。在此伸展过程中,中—晚侏罗世荆山—涂山岩体与早白垩世淮光岩体记录了深部韧性伸展拆离变形带抬升至浅部被脆性正断层所叠加的变形过程,而其它岩体内均记录了地壳浅部的脆性正断层活动。这些岩体的变形记录,指示华北克拉通东部晚中生代由挤压向伸展构造体制转变发生在148～130 Ma期间,提供了在早白垩世克拉通峰期破坏中目前非盆地区构造过程的实例。     

闽南沿海地区变质变形侵入岩时序划分及其地质意义

根据接触关系,结合同位素测年资料、岩石变形变质特征及原岩的岩石学、矿物学等特征,将闽南沿海地区变质变形侵入岩划分为早侏罗世东山序列(石英闪长岩—花岗闪长岩—二长花岗岩—正长花岗岩)、晚侏罗世古美山序列(花岗闪长岩—二长花岗岩—正长花岗岩)(145.4 Ma,LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb)及早白垩世早期漳浦序列(石英闪长岩—花岗闪长岩—二长花岗岩—正长花岗岩)(121.5～139.4 Ma,锆石U-Pb)。并据侵入岩产状、岩石学、矿物学、岩石化学及地球化学等特征,分析各序列花岗岩的成因及形成时的构造环境,认为早侏罗世东山序列岩浆来源为壳-幔混合源(I型),形成于构造体制由挤压转向拉张转换期大陆上隆(碰撞后隆升)的构造环境(PAG);晚侏罗世古美山序列岩浆来源为幔-壳混合源(I-S型),属与板块碰撞(俯冲作用)有关的同碰撞花岗岩(ACG);早白垩世早期漳浦序列岩浆来源为壳-幔混合源(I-S型),属构造体制由挤压向拉张转化时期幔-壳源型花岗岩(KCG)。该区变质变形花岗岩序次的厘定及其成因、形成环境的研究为长乐—南澳断裂带中生代构造演化提供了依据,并为东南沿海地区寻找与中生代岩浆作用有关的钨、锡、铜、钼等矿产提供找矿理论依据。     

Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Plutonism in the Northern Part of the Precambrian North China Craton： SHRIMP Zircon U-Pb Dating of Diorites and Granites from the Yunmengshan Geopark, Beijing

Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous Plutonism in the Northern Part of the Precambrian North China Craton: SHRIMP Zircon U–Pb Dating of Diorites and Granites from the Yunmengshan Geopark, Beijing

The Yunmengshan Geopark in northern Beijing is located within the Yanshan range. It contains the Yunmengshan batholith, which is dominated by two plutons: the Yunmengshan gneissic granite and the Shicheng gneissic diorite. Four samples of the Yunmengshan gneissic granite give SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages from 145 to 141 Ma, whereas four samples of the Shicheng gneissic diorite have ages from 159 Ma to 151 Ma. Dikes that cut the Yunmengshan diorite record SHRIMP zircon U–Pb age of 162±2 and 156±4 Ma. The cumulative plots of zircons from the diorites show a peak age of 155 Ma, without inherited zircon cores, and the peak age of 142 Ma for granite is interpreted as the emplacement age of the Yunmengshan granitic pluton, whose igneous zircons contain inherited zircon cores. The data presented here show that there were two pulses of magmatism: early diorites, followed c13 Ma later by true granites, which incorporated material from an older continental crust.     

SOVETSKAYA GEOLOGIYA (SOVIET GEOLOGY) IN COVER-TO-COVER TRANSLATION, 1960, NOS. 11 AND 12

The Río Negro-Juruena Province (RNJP) occupies a large portion of the western part of the Amazonian Craton and is a zone of complex granitization and migmatization. Regional metamorphism, in general, occurred in the upper amphibolite facies. The granites and gneisses of the RNJP yield Rb-Sr and Pb-Pb whole-rock isochron dates ranging from 1.8 Ga to 1.55 Ga, with initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of ～ 0.703 and a single-stage model μ₁ value of ～ 8.1. In order to improve the geochronological control, SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages, conventional U-Pb zircon ages, and additional Pb-Pb whole-rock isochron ages were determined for samples of granitoids and gneisses from the Papuri-Uaupés and Guaviare-Orinoco rivers areas (northern part of the province) and Jamari-Machado rivers and Pontes de Lacerda areas (southern part). The granitoids from the northern part of the province yield conventional U-Pb zircon ages of 1709 ± 17 Ma and 1521 ± 31 Ma, and SHRIMP U-Pb concordant zircon results of 1800 ± 18 Ma. Samples of gneissic rocks from the southern part of the RNJP yielded SHRIMP U-Pb concordant ages of 1750 ± 24 Ma and 1570 ± 17 Ma and a Pb-Pb whole-rock isochron age of 1717 ± 120 Ma. These new U-Pb and Pb-Pb results confirm the previous Rb-Sr and Pb-Pb geochronological evidence that the main magmatic episodes within the RNJP occurred between 1.8 and 1.55 Ga, and suggest that this crustal province constitutes a segment of continental crust newly added to the Amazonian Craton at the end of the Early Proterozoic. In the area of the RNJP, there are several anorogenic rapakivi-type granite plutons. Because of the absence of recognized Archean material within the basement rocks, it is reasonable to consider the Early to Middle Proterozoic continental crust as the magmatic source for the rapakivi granite intrusions.     

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.     

Genesis of granitoid batholiths of Peninsular Malaysia and implications for models of crustal evolution: Evidence from a NdSr isotopic and UPb zircon study

Nd, Sr and U-Pb isotopic data for the late Triassic West Coast Province batholiths and Permian to Triassic East Coast Province batholiths of Peninsular Malaysia allow estimates of the ages of the crustal fragments comprising the peninsula to be made. Initial ?_Nd and ?_Sr values for granitoids from the West Coast Province range from ?6 to ?10 and +160(0.716) to +660(0.751) respectively. Nd model ages calculated based on a depleted mantle evolution model (T_DM^Nd) range from 1300 Ma to 1800 Ma and are in general agreement with the mid-Proterozoic upper intersection ages of U-Pb zircon reverse discordia (1500–1700 Ma). Initial ?_Nd and ?_Sr values for granitoids from the East Coast Province range from ?0.8 to ?6 and +10(0.705) to +130(0.714) respectively. Calculated T_DM^Nd ages of 900–1400 Ma for these granitoids are comparable to two U-Pb zircon reverse discordia intercepts that yield 800 Ma and 1350 Ma. The general agreement of U-Pb zircon inheritance ages and T_DM^Nd ages are interpreted to correspond to the Proterozoic ‘crust formation’ ages of the continental fragments represented by the West Coast and East Coast batholithic provinces. Mid-Proterozoic (~ 1300–1900 Ma) ‘crust formation’ ages are commonly shown by other Phanerozoic continental margin plutonic and volcanic belts. The ubiquitous mid-Proterozoic ‘crust formation’ ages and the absence of Archaean signatures suggest voluminous juvenile additions to the continental crust in the mid-Proterozoic. Such ages at continental margins would imply that many continental blocks had achieved very much their present-day extent by the mid-Proterozoic.     

湖南锡田花岗岩锆石U-Pb年代学及钨锡成矿时代的探讨

华南是世界上最大的花岗岩省之一,其中中生代花岗岩最为发育,与之相伴生的是大量钨锡多金属矿床,花岗岩的成因演化因与这些矿床的成矿作用密切相关而备受关注。湖南锡田花岗岩体是该区的一个典型岩体,主要由黑云母花岗岩、黑云母二长花岗岩和细粒花岗岩组成,并伴生有钨锡矿床。本文以湖南锡田花岗岩体为研究对象,对其中不同类型的岩石进行了详细的岩石学和锆石SIMS与LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年工作。分析结果表明,锡田花岗岩体存在晚三叠世(227~233Ma)和晚侏罗世(150~154Ma)两期岩浆活动,早期的岩浆活动主要分布在岩体北部和中部,晚期岩浆活动仅在岩体中部及东部矿体附近可见,两期岩浆活动具有相同的岩性组合。另外,对含矿花岗岩的锆石U-Pb定年结果表明该地区可能存在晚三叠世的成矿作用,结合前人的工作推断锡田地区钨锡矿的形成受晚三叠世和晚侏罗世两期岩浆事件的影响。     

Multi-proxy isotopic tracing of magmatic sources and crustal recycling in the Palaeozoic to Early Jurassic active margin of North-Western Gondwana

We trace source variations of active margin granitoids which crystallised intermittently over ~300 Ma in varying kinematic regimes, by combining zircon Lu-Hf isotopic data from Early Palaeozoic to Early Jurassic igneous and metaigneous rocks in the Mérida Andes, Venezuela and the Santander Massif, Colombia, with new whole rock Rb/Sr and Sm-Nd isotopic data, and quartz O isotopic data. These new data are unique in South America because they were obtained from discrete magmatic and metamorphic zircon populations, providing a high temporal resolution dataset, and compare several isotopic systems on the same samples. Collectively, these data provide valuable insight into the evolution of the isotopic structure of the continental crust in long-lived active margins.Phanerozoic active margin-related granitoids in the Mérida Andes and the Santander Massif yield zircon Lu-Hf model ages ranging between 0.77 Ga and 1.57 Ga which clearly define temporal trends that can be correlated with changes in tectonic regimes. The oldest Lu-Hf model ages of >1.3 Ga are restricted to granitoids which formed during Barrovian metamorphism and crustal thickening between ~499 Ma and ~473 Ma. These granitoids yield high initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios, suggesting that evolved, Rb-rich middle to upper crust was the major source of melt. Granitoids and rhyolites which crystallised during subsequent extension between ~472 Ma and ~452 Ma yield younger Lu-Hf model ages of 0.80 Ga–1.3 Ga and low initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios, suggesting that they were derived from much more juvenile, Rb-poor sources such as mafic lower crust and mantle-derived melts. The rapid change in magmatic sources at ~472 Ma can be attributed either to reduced crustal assimilation during extension, or a short pulse of crustal growth by addition of juvenile material to the continental crust. Between ~472 Ma and ~196 Ma Lu-Hf model ages remain mostly constant between ~1.0 and ~1.2 Ga. The large scatter and the absence of definite trends in initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios suggest that both mafic, Rb-poor, and evolved Rb-rich sources were important precursors of active margin magmas in Colombia and Venezuela throughout the Palaeozoic to the Early Jurassic.Previous studies have shown that the genesis of arc magmas may be stimulated by heat advection to the crust during the underplating of mantle derived melt, but the absence of permanent younging trends in Lu-Hf model ages from ~472 Ma to ~196 Ma suggests that very little new crust was generated during this period in the studied region. An overwhelming majority of the analysed igneous rocks yield zircon Lu-Hf model ages of >1 Ga which may be accounted for by documented local crustal end members of 1 Ga–1.6 Ga, and do not require contributions from the depleted mantle. Therefore, recycling of ~1 Ga and older crust was a dominant process in the north-western corner of Gondwana between ~472 Ma and ~196 Ma.This study shows that whole rock Sm-Nd and zircon Lu-Hf data can be interpreted similarly regarding the age of the source regions, whereas Rb-Sr and O isotope data from the same rocks yield valuable information regarding the geochemical nature of the source.     

Zircon LA-ICP-MS dating and geochemical characteristics of I-type granitoids from the Yanhu area,west segment of the Bangongco-Nujiang suture (western Tibet): Petrogenesis and implications for the southward subduction of the Tethyan Ocean

The Yanhu granitoids are located in the west segment of the Bangongco-Nujiang suture in the western Tibetan Plateau. The main rock types of the granitoids are diorite porphyry, quartz diorite, granodiorite, granite and granite porphyry. Here, their zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages and petrogeochemical data are reported. Three groups of magmatic events can be distinguished from the Yanhu area: group 1 includes samples AK01 and ZK01 of diorite porphyry, and sample D3658 of quartz diorite that yield mean zircon U-Pb ages of 121.0 ± 2.7 Ma, 116.6 ± 2.0 Ma and 116.0 ± 3.9 Ma, respectively; group 2 includes sample D0050 of diorite porphyry, samples D1393 and D3660 of granodiorite and sample D3065 of granite porphyry that yield mean zircon U-Pb ages of 104.9 ± 2.0 Ma, 105.4 ± 3.8 Ma, 104.2 ± 1.9 Ma and 104.2 ± 1.9 Ma, respectively; group 3 includes sample D3093 of granite that yields mean zircon U-Pb ages of 93.6 ± 1.5 Ma. The zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages suggest that the Yanhu granitoids were emplaced at 121.0–93.6 Ma, representing Cretaceous magmatism in the west segment of the Bangongco-Nujiang suture. The granitoids are composed of SiO₂ (56.57 to 76.98 wt.%), Al₂O₃ (12.20 to 17.90 wt.%), Na₂O (3.61 to 4.98 wt.%), K₂O (2.06 to 4.71 wt.%) and CaO (0.27 to 5.74 wt.%). The Yanhu granitoids exhibit enrichment in LREE (light REE) and LILE (large ion lithophile elements) such as Rb, Th, U, Pb and K and depletion of HREE (heavy REE), P, Ti, Nb, Ta and Zr. Their A/CNK ratios of 0.85-1.06 are <1.1, implying that they are high-K, metaluminous-weakly peraluminous I-type granites. TheYanhu granitoids were generated mainly by partial melts of the meta-igneous lower crust and some arc-related materials. The Yanhu granitoids probably formed in VAG and syn-COLG tectonic settings related to the southward subduction of the Tethyan Ocean. Diorite porphyry and quartz diorite magmatism from 121.0 Ma to 116.0 Ma may be associated with the southward Bangongco–Nujiang Tethys oceanic crust subduction. Diorite porphyry, granodiorite, and granite porphyry magmatism from 105.4 Ma to 104.2 Ma may be associated with the rising asthenosphere induced by the slab breakoff. Granite magmatism from 93.6 Ma may be related to the crustal thickening induced by the final amalgamation of the Lhasa Terrane and the Qiangtang Terrane.     

Melting of subducted continent: Element and isotopic evidence for a genetic relationship between Neoproterozoic and Mesozoic granitoids in the Sulu orogen

Zircon U-Pb and hornblende Ar-Ar ages, major and trace elements, and Sr, Nd and O isotope compositions of Neoproterozoic and Mesozoic granitoids from the Wulian region in the Sulu orogen of China demonstrate that post-collisional granitoids were generated by Early Cretaceous melting of subduction-thickened continental crust that has geochemical affinities to Neoproterozoic protolith of ultrahigh-pressure metaigneous rocks that were derived from the Yangtze Block. The Mesozoic granitoids share the following features with the Neoproterozoic granites: (1) occurrence of Neoproterozoic U-Pb ages in zircon; (2) strong LREE enrichment but HFSE (Nb, P and Ti) depletion; (3) variable δ¹⁸O values for constituent minerals; (4) significantly negative ε_Nd(t) values with Paleoproterozoic Nd model ages. Thus the two ages of granitoids have a genetic relationship in source nature. However, they differ significantly in both the O isotope composition of zircon and the concentration ratios of fluid-mobile to fluid-immobile elements. These differences are interpreted to reflect differences in the depth of magma sources, and in the nature of subsequent water-rock alteration. The Neoproterozoic granites were derived from hydration melting of Paleoproterozoic crust during breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia at ca. 780 to 740 Ma along the northern margin of the Yangtze Block, with subsequent overprinting of high-T meteoric-hydrothermal alteration and rifting-induced low-¹⁸O magmatism. In contrast, the Mesozoic granitoids were derived from dehydration melting of subduction-thickened crust that was unaffected by meteoric-hydrothermal alteration. The source of the Mesozoic granitoids may be coeval middle-lower crustal counterparts of the Neoproterozoic granites.     

内蒙古达茂旗花岗岩类LA-ICP-MS 锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

对内蒙古达茂旗北部构造单元的巴特敖包岛弧带2个花岗闪长岩岩体样品和南部构造单元一个花岗岩岩体的2件样品进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年。北部构造单元采自2个花岗闪长岩岩体的样品锆石206Pb/238U年龄分别为468Ma±2Ma和452Ma±3Ma,代表了这2个岩体的侵位时间,表明古亚洲洋向华北克拉通之下俯冲不晚于468Ma±2Ma;南部构造单元采自同一花岗岩岩体的2件样品获得的锆石206Pb/238U年龄分别为268Ma±2Ma和264Ma±2Ma,和该单元西部岩体已有的锆石年龄相符。这为华北克拉通北缘岩浆作用研究提供了新的年代学证据。
