全球冥古宙的研究进展和存在问题

冥古宙是地球上最老的一个地质历史时期,由于缺少可靠的岩石记录一直没有得到国际地学界的重视和承认,到2004年才在建议的国际地层表中使用了冥古宙这一术语,定义从地球形成到出现地球最老岩石这段地球历史。但冥古宙与太古宙没有明确的地质界线,一些研究者提出了不同的年代界线(3.85Ga,4.0Ga,4.03Ga),目前还存在较大分歧。目前已知残存的冥古宙岩石只有两处,一处是加拿大的阿卡斯塔片麻岩(Acasta gneiss)中两个英云闪长岩和一个变质花岗闪长岩。前者锆石U-Pb年龄为4002±4Ma和4012±6Ma,后者为4031±1Ma。另一处是东南极索尼山(Mount Sones)的麻粒岩相英云闪长质片麻岩,已获得U-Pb年龄为3927±10Ma。世界上最老的表壳岩(≥3870Ma)出露在格陵兰。冥古宙年代久远,地球形成最初的600~700Ma的初始岩石经历了陨石撞击、地壳再循环、重熔等改造,甚至再循环到地幔,几乎已经消失殆尽。目前主要以年轻岩石中的碎屑锆石或继承锆石作为桥梁,来追索这些古老锆石原来母岩的类型、特征及成因。3800Ma的碎屑锆石已在全球十多个地区发现,而以西澳伊尔岗克拉通的杰克山最多最全,从3800Ma到4404Ma都有,在3840Ma,3900~3920Ma,4000~4200Ma,4260~4300Ma和4404Ma显示峰值,其中以3900~4200Ma最为发育,4404Ma是目前世界公认的最老碎屑锆石。此外在北美克拉通、南非克拉通、华北克拉通等古老克拉通以及一些年轻造山带中都发现有冥古宙的碎屑锆石,这些锆石是追索冥古宙地质事件的重要桥梁。通过对冥古宙碎屑锆石的研究提出了很多值得重视和进一步研究的课题和内容。包括早期地壳的性质,一些锆石具有与太古宙之后岩浆锆石特征相似的环带结构,因此这些碎屑锆石的母岩大部分被认为相当花岗质,来自老地壳的重熔。冥古宙碎屑锆石的Hf同位素等综合分析表明这些碎屑锆石来源于中性熔岩的结晶,或许表明早期地壳具有中性成分特征。冥古宙锆石的成因也是一个重要的课题,根据锆石中钛的含量、锆石Ti饱和温度计计算的温度以及锆石的一些结构特征,有的研究者提出冥古宙相当一部分碎屑锆石是陨石撞击导致的岩石熔融结晶产生的,是追溯地球早期撞击事件的重要手段。在4300Ma的碎屑锆石中包裹有金刚石和石墨晶体,前者表明锆石的母岩曾处于高压条件,而后者石墨的碳同位素接近有机碳,有人认为可能为生命起源的迹象。多个地区的碎屑锆石的边部Th/U比值低,U-Pb年龄为4000Ma左右,属于变质作用的产物,表明当时地壳已具有一定厚度。冥古宙碎屑锆石的研究提出了很多重要的问题,但是由于资料有限,有些认识还存在矛盾,还需要获得更多实际资料,才能对冥古宙的地质事件过程取得更可靠的科学认识。因此今后应加强可能赋存古老碎屑锆石地区的寻找,并发现更多古老碎屑锆石。对现有的古老碎屑锆石加强综合研究以及各地区的对比研究。     

扬子西缘东川落雪地区元古宙地层中3890 Ma锆石的发现

利用LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素测定技术,在扬子西缘滇中东川地区古元古界阿不都组流纹质玻屑熔结凝灰岩中发现了1颗冥古宙锆石,锆石具有明显的核-幔-边结构,其核部的207 Pb/206 Pb年龄为3890±47 Ma,此年龄被解释为岩浆结晶,Th/U比值为0.34;变质边的207 Pb/206 Pb年龄为3561±45～3616±55 Ma,Th/U比值为0.07～0.19.锆石的原位Hf同位素测定给出了176 Hf/177 Hf=0.280317～0.280451,εHf(t)=-4.6～0.6(平均值为-2.5),TDM1=3861～3980 Ma,TDM2=4036～4106 Ma(平均值为4059 Ma).这颗锆石为扬子陆块目前发现的最老锆石,其Hf同位素及微量元素特征说明扬子陆块存在4.0 Ga的地壳增生作用及古老陆壳的再循环;结合前人同位素研究资料,说明扬子西缘东川落雪地区元古宙时同华北陆块可能具有亲缘性;本次的发现,为扬子陆块寻找冥古宙和始太古代物质实体提供重要依据,也为认识地球早期大陆演化过程提供了重要新信息.     

华夏地块龙泉地区发现亚洲最古老的锆石

锆石这一矿物是迄今为止所发现的地球最初500个百万年间(地质学界通常称为"冥古代")的唯一地壳物质残留,对于了解地球早期地壳演化过程至关重要。近年来,随着高精度SHRIMP测年技术的广泛运用,笔者最近在华夏地块龙泉地区发现了2颗约4100 Ma的碎屑锆石。其中一颗为目前发现亚洲最古老的锆石,其内部结构简单,具有正常的震荡环带,207Pb/206Pb年龄为(4127±4)Ma;其δ18O与地幔岩浆的氧同位素类似,可能来自于早期的幔源岩浆或者未经历地表过程的深部地壳物质的熔融。另外一颗锆石具有明显的核边结构,其核部结晶年龄约为4100 Ma,变质边年龄约为4070 Ma,外围还有2层岩浆增生边年龄介于3800~3600 Ma,代表了该4100 Ma的锆石核部在后期经历了复杂的地壳演化过程,4070 Ma的变质边是目前已获得最为可靠的全球变质年龄。上述发现表明冥古宙时地壳性质和构造环境存在多样性,为认识地球早期大陆演化过程提供了重要新信息。     

浙西南玉岩花岗片麻岩锆石U-Pb年代学——华夏地块古老基底物质的探讨

通过对浙西南遂昌县玉岩古元古代花岗片麻岩锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究,以探讨和揭示华夏地区基底的物质组成。玉岩花岗片麻岩锆石可分为两类:第一类锆石年龄相对年轻,其~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄介于597~1917 Ma之间,结合稀土元素特征,表明为变质成因锆石,在锆石谐和图上,15个年轻锆石点整体上构成了一条不一致线,其上交点年龄为1904±19Ma,代表了片麻岩形成的变质时间,表明华夏地区存在古老的古元古代晚期岩浆岩-变质岩基底,下交点年龄为262±47Ma,可能记录了华夏地块晚二叠世―早三叠世构造-变质作用的响应。第二类锆石年龄相对较老,锆石~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄介于2087~2523Ma之间,锆石发育核幔结构并有明显的振荡环带,较老的锆石年龄表明华夏地区可能存在太古宙末至2.5Ga的古老基底物质。     

台湾玉里带变质岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

台湾玉里带位于台湾东部,其主体为变质砂岩、千枚状泥岩夹绿帘片岩、阳起片岩、浅变质枕状玄武岩等(原岩为海相火山-陆源沉积岩),其次为高压相的蓝闪片岩。火山岩属钙碱性系列,具低Ba、Nb、Sr和高Pb丰度,稀土元素总量普遍较低,具有轻稀土元素弱富集、Eu无亏损的稀土元素配分模式;(含火山碎屑)变质砂岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄表明,~(206)Pb/~(238)U表面年龄有6个峰值:最新年龄23.3Ma(古近纪)为火山碎屑锆石年龄,也是成岩年龄;中生代—古生代年龄有96.7Ma(晚白垩世)、124.2Ma及130.6Ma(早白垩世)、214.1~228Ma(晚三叠世)、283.7Ma和289Ma(早二叠世)等,锆石为次棱角状或次圆状,代表了源岩的岩浆年龄;~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb表面年龄出现古元古代峰值(1769~1852Ma)和新太古代峰值(2506Ma和2530Ma),均为磨圆的碎屑变质或岩浆锆石,代表了不明古元古代变质基底的年龄。玉里带变质岩原岩可能形成于古近纪(23.3Ma),与南海扩张的白云运动同时,属白云运动有关的火山作用的产物。     

北大别黄土岭长英质麻粒岩的原岩、变质作用及源区热事件年龄的锆石LA-ICPMS U-Pb测年约束

本研究应用激光剥蚀技术测定了北大别黄土岭高温-高压长英质麻粒岩锆石3个结构域的U-Pb年龄.变质锆石成因的碎屑锆石域的207Pb/206Pb年龄范围为(2493±54) Ma~(2500±180) Ma, 岩浆成因的碎屑锆石域的207Pb/206Pb年龄范围为2628~2690Ma, 其最大的206Pb/238U年龄为(2790±150) Ma, 变质增生或变质重结晶锆石域的不一致线上交点年龄为(2044.7±29.3) Ma.长英质麻粒岩的矿物组合成分、主量元素地球化学, 尤其是锆石副矿物内部结构特征显示其原岩为沉积岩.这表明, 麻粒岩原岩物质来自具有复杂热历史的蚀源区, 该蚀源区曾发生过~2.8Ga的岩浆作用和~2.5Ga变质作用, 因此其原岩的沉积年龄不应早于2.5Ga.高温-高压麻粒岩相变质作用的精确年龄为(2.04±0.03) Ga, 表明黄土岭麻粒岩是一个晚古元古代超高温变质岩之残块.      

滇东南瑶山群SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学及其地质意义

为探讨滇东南瑶山群的原岩年龄以及后期经历的岩浆-变质-构造事件年龄,开展了SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年研究。结果表明,阴极发光(CL)分析和光学显微分析显示瑶山群的锆石组成比较复杂,可以分为继承锆石、变质锆石、深熔锆石/岩浆锆石等几大类。除少量测点207Pb/206Pb年龄为新元古代外,继承锆石206Pb/238 U表面年龄变化范围集中在235±1.7Ma~261±3.6Ma,加权平均值为250.8±9.8Ma(N=4,MSWD=4.1);深熔/岩浆锆石206Pb/238 U表面年龄显示出~85Ma和~75Ma两个峰值;变质增生锆石206Pb/238 U表面年龄为49~30Ma,且主要集中在32Ma、37Ma和42Ma左右。结合区域地质情况,初步推测:250.8±9.8Ma的继承锆石峰值年龄表明,瑶山群主体的原岩时代可能不早于二叠纪;变质锆石、深熔锆石/岩浆锆石的206Pb/238 U表面年龄可分为~85Ma、~75Ma、~42Ma、~37Ma和~32Ma等5组,可能代表了红河断裂南段自燕山晚期以来5期较强烈构造-岩浆-变质事件的时限。     

内蒙古大青山地区英安岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其构造意义

在内蒙古大青山地区逆冲推覆构造所截切的英安岩中获得锆石~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb表面年龄加权平均值为1870±19Ma,认为英安岩为华北克拉通古元古代末—新元古代一次裂解事件的产物.同时,据安山岩锆石U-Pb年龄谐和度(102)较好的锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U表面年龄436±4Ma及英安岩锆石U-Pb年龄谐和度(104)较好的锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U表面年龄153±2Ma和160±2Ma,表明大青山地区逆冲推覆构造存在构造复活或构造追踪现象。这一认识为大青山地区逆冲推覆构造的研究积累了新的资料,提供了新的研究思路。     

江西相山火山-侵入杂岩体锆石SHRIMP定年及其地质意义

采用锆石SHRIMP微区U-Pb测年技术,测定了江西相山铀矿田火山-侵入杂岩的时代。采自于相山西北部的石马山和西部南陂的鹅湖岭组碎斑熔岩的SHRIMP锆石206Pb/238U表面年龄加权平均值分别为(134.6±1.0)Ma(MSWD=1.5)和(134.1±1.0)Ma(MSWD=0.65),可以限定相山第二火山喷发旋回的结束时代为134 Ma;采自于相山北部巴泉和南部浯漳的似斑状花岗岩的SHRIMP锆石206Pb/238U表面年龄加权平均值为(133.3±0.8)Ma(MSWD=0.82)和(134.7±0.9)Ma(MSWD=1.08),与碎斑熔岩的年龄在误差范围内基本一致,结合野外地质事实和前人的地球化学测试分析结果,确认碎斑熔岩和似斑状花岗岩属于同期、同来源的火山喷发-侵入的产物,形成于134～133 Ma。书堂钻孔ZK111A-1中打鼓顶组顶部流纹英安岩的锆石206Pb/238U表面年龄加权平均值为(141.6±1.7)Ma(MSWD=0.9),表明第一旋回火山喷发的时代应结束于142 Ma,大部分属于晚侏罗世火山活动。岗上英钻孔岩心中石英二长花岗斑岩的锆石206Pb/238U表面年龄加权平均值为(136.4±1.0)Ma(MSWD=1.7),如意亭剖面第二采石场流纹质英安斑岩的锆石206Pb/238U表面年龄加权平均值为(137.4±1.7)Ma(MSWD=1.11);推测这两者应属于早晚两期火山喷发旋回间隔期的次火山-侵入岩,进而限定136～137 Ma为相山两期火山喷发旋回的间隔时期。综合前人资料和本文测试分析结果,可将相山火山喷发第二旋回鹅湖岭组的时代限定为136～133 Ma,应属于早白垩世的火山活动,进而认为将相山地区"鹅湖岭组"的地层时代划归为早白垩世较为合适。     

辽东地区什司县变质基性岩墙群的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年及其意义

本文对辽东地区什司县变质基性岩墙群中的斜长角闪岩进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS年代学研究。锆石呈现不规则状、椭圆状、港湾状形态,显示遭受后期构造热事件的影响;CL图像显示扇形分带、杉叶形分带及无分带的特征,且Th/U值较低,为0.03~0.14,为典型的变质锆石;20粒锆石给出了1874±31 Ma的207Pb/206Pb加权平均年龄。1874±31 Ma的变质年龄代表华北板块东部辽吉古元古裂谷带闭合时的区域变质事件的时代。     

扬子地块西南缘大红山群老厂河组变质火山岩的锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

大红山群是扬子地台西缘相对较老的地层单元,普遍经历了绿片岩相-低角闪岩相变质作用。其中部的曼岗河组、红山组已获得古元古代晚期～1.68Ga的成岩年龄,其底部的老厂河组却未有相关年龄的报道。大红山群的变质时代目前也无精确的年龄结果。本文以老厂河组厚层变质沉积岩中的薄层变质火山岩样品为研究对象,在岩相学研究的基础上,运用LA-ICP-MS方法对变质火山岩锆石进行原位U-Pb同位素定年及相关的微量、稀土元素测试,获得变质火山岩的原岩年龄和变质年龄:(1)老厂河组变质中酸性岩和变质基性岩中岩浆锆石微区的207Pb/206Pb加权平均年龄分别为1711±4Ma和1686±4Ma,限定老厂河组的形成年龄范围为1711～1686Ma;(2)变质基性岩(石榴斜长角闪岩)中变质锆石的206Pb/238U年龄为849±12Ma。本文结果表明,大红山群的形成时代可提早至1711±4Ma,又一次证明了扬子地台西缘古老结晶基底的存在;大红山群在～850Ma经历了一期新元古代变质事件,这期变质可能是与扬子地台西缘新元古代岩浆事件有关的区域变质事件。     

扬子陆块西缘安益南华纪火山岩的厘定及其地质意义

扬子陆块西缘安益大湾山地区出露一套由变质玄武岩等组成的变质基性火山岩,前人将其归为中元古界,并作为寻找磁铁矿的主要对象。调查发现,安益大湾山变质基性火山岩与下伏浅变质岩系间发育一套稳定沉积的砾岩。应用LA-ICP-MS技术对其底砾岩之上最底部的变质玄武岩进行了锆石U-Pb年龄测定,获得了781.3±1.9Ma的岩浆锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值和1008±14Ma、1142±15Ma、2714±10Ma的继承性岩浆锆石~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄,指示该套变质基性火山岩形成于南华纪,并将其从浅变质岩系中解离出来,对比为澄江组。继承性锆石年龄数据指示,扬子地块西缘安益地区存在新太古界和中元古界物质记录。结合前人研究成果和近来获得的年龄数据,将滇中澄江组的时代界定于820～740Ma,并将南华系的底界界定于820Ma。大湾山中-大型磁铁矿产于扬子地块西缘澄江组的变质基性火山岩中,其主成矿期为南华纪,可能属于热液氧化物-铜-金矿床。     

U-Pb age of the Diana Complex and Adirondack granulite petrogenesis

U-Pb isotopic analyses of eight single and multi-grain zircon fractions separated from a syenite of the Diana Complex of the Adirondack Mountains do not define a single linear array, but a scatter along a chord that intersects the Concordia curve at 1145 ± 29 and 285 ± 204 Ma. For the most concordant analyses, the²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb ages range between 1115 and 1150 Ma. Detailed petrographic studies revealed that most grains contained at least two phases of zircon growth, either primary magmatic cores enclosed by variable thickness of metamorphic overgrowths or magmatic portions enclosing presumably older xenocrystic zircon cores. The magmatic portions are characterized by typical dipyramidal prismatic zoning and numerous black inclusions that make them quite distinct from adjacent overgrowths or cores when observed in polarizing light microscopy and in backscattered electron micrographs. Careful handpicking and analysis of the “best” magmatic grains, devoid of visible overgrowth of core material, produced two nearly concordant points that along with two of the multi-grain analyses yielded an upper-intercept age of 1118 ± 2.8 Ma and a lowerintercept age of 251 ± 13 Ma. The older age is interpreted as the crystallization age of the syenite and the younger one is consistent with late stage uplift of the Appalachian region. The 1118 Ma age for the Diana Complex, some 35 Ma younger than previously believed, is now approximately synchronous with the main Adirondack anorthosite intrusion, implying a cogenetic relationship among the various meta-igneous rocks of the Adirondacks. The retention of a high-temperature contact metamorphic aureole around Diana convincingly places the timing of Adirondack regional metamorphism as early as 1118 Ma. This result also implies that the sources of anomalous hightemperature during granulite metamorphism are the syn-metamorphic intrusions, such as the Diana Complex.     

Geochronology (SHRIMP II) of zircons from Archean stratotectonic associations of Karelian greenstone belts: Significance for stratigraphic and geodynamic reconstructions

Individual grains of zircon from the Archean Kostomuksha, North Karelian and Matkalakhta greenstone belts, which are situated respectively in western, northern and eastern Karelia, are studied using the ion microprobe SHRIMP II. As a result, the oldest ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb ages of 3151 ± 4.6 and 3329 ± 16 Ma are first determined for detrital zircons from northern and eastern Karelia. The ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb ages estimated for two subsequent metamorphic events of Archean Eon in eastern Karelia correspond to 3.25 and 3.17–3.10 Ga. The age value of 2711 ± 9.6 Ma is determined for silicic volcano-plutonic complex and quartz stockwork in northern Karelia and the date 2821 ± 15 Ma for magmatic rocks of eastern Karelia. Silicic volcanics from an oceanic plateau section in the Kostomuksha belt are dated at 2791.7 ± 6.1 Ma for the first time in the Archean of Fennoscandia. The oldest detrital zircons from siliciclastic metasediments determine the stabilization time of Archean continental nuclei in East Fennoscandia. The younger generation of greenstone belts is exemplified in the Karelian craton by the Matkalakhta and Kostomuksha structures comprising rock associations less than 2.82 Ga old, mafic rocks of the Kontokki Group included. Geological history of these belts corresponds to geodynamic mesocycle 90–110 Ma long and to the Archean global epoch of metallogeny, which was responsible for origin of most valuable deposits of base and precious metals.     

Ion microprobe baddeleyite and zircon ages for Late Archaean mafic dykes of the Pilbara Craton,Western Australia

Ion microprobe U–Th–Pb analyses of baddeleyite and zircon yield precise ages for several mafic intrusions in the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia. Baddeleyite was dated from four dolerite dykes of the north‐northeast‐trending Black Range swarm intruded into granitoid‐greenstone basement in the northern part of the craton. The mean ²⁰⁷Pb*/²⁰⁶Pb* age of 2772 ± 2 Ma, interpreted as an unambiguous age of emplacement for the dykes, is within error of previous ion microprobe U–Pb zircon ages for the Mt Roe flood basalts and confirms that the dykes acted as feeders to the volcanic rocks. The Sylvania Inlier, in the southeastern Pilbara Craton, also contains north‐northeast‐trending dykes that were correlated previously with the Black Range swarm. Based on concordant and discordant zircon analyses from samples of two dykes, the best estimate of the age of the Sylvania dykes is 2747 ± 4 Ma. The Sylvania dykes thus appear to be significantly younger than, and hence unrelated to, the Black Range swarm, but may have acted as feeders to younger volcanic units in the Fortescue Group such as the Kylena Formation.     

豫西崤山早元古代中酸性侵入岩锆石/斜锆石U-Pb测年及其对熊耳火山岩系时限的约束

熊耳火山岩系是华北克拉通早元古代晚期重要的岩浆记录,其火山作用时限的厘定对于揭示华北该时期的构造格局与演化历史有重要意义。对侵入到熊耳火山岩系顶层马家河组的石英闪长岩体中的斜锆石与锆石和花岗斑岩体中的锆石进行了高精度SIMSU-Pb定年。三个样品共58个测点,石英闪长岩体中的斜锆石207Pb/206Pb平均年龄为1789±4Ma,锆石207Pb/206Pb平均年龄1778±12Ma,花岗斑岩体中的锆石207Pb/206Pb平均年龄为1786±8Ma。这些年龄数据表明石英闪长岩体从生成到侵位是一个短暂而连续的过程,这一岩体与花岗斑岩岩体基本同期。同时,由于这两个岩体侵入到了熊耳火山岩系最顶部的马家河组,因此可以限定熊耳火山岩系的上限。结合前人的年代学数据,我们提出熊耳火山岩系的岩浆作用时限在1770～1800Ma之间,峰期为1780Ma。这一研究结果从年代学上支持熊耳火山岩系形成于快速拉张的裂谷环境。     

Zircon response to high-grade metamorphism as revealed by U–Pb and cathodoluminescence studies

Correct interpretation of zircon ages from high-grade metamorphic terrains poses a major challenge because of the differential response of the U–Pb system to metamorphism, and many aspects like pressure–temperature conditions, metamorphic mineral transformations and textural properties of the zircon crystals have to be explored. A large (c. 450?km²) coherent migmatite complex was recently discovered in the Bohemian Massif, Central European Variscides. Rocks from this complex are characterized by granulite- and amphibolite-facies mineral assemblages and, based on compositional and isotopic trends, are identified as the remnants of a magma body derived from mixing between tonalite and supracrustal rocks. Zircon crystals from the migmatites are exclusively large (200–400?μm) and yield ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb evaporation ages between 342–328?Ma and single-grain zircon fractions analysed by U–Pb ID-TIMS method plot along the concordia curve between 342 and 325?Ma. High-resolution U–Pb SHRIMP analyses substantiate the existence of a resolvable age variability and yield older ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages (342–330?Ma, weighted mean age?=?333.6?±?3.1?Ma) for inner zone domains without relict cores and younger ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages (333–320?Ma, weighted mean age?=?326.0?±?2.8?Ma) for rim domains. Pre-metamorphic cores were identified only in one sample (²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages at 375.0?±?3.9, 420.3?±?4.4 and 426.2?±?4.4?Ma). Most zircon ages bracket the time span between granulite-facies metamorphism in the Bohemian Massif (~345?Ma) and the late-Variscan anatectic overprint (Bavarian phase, ~325?Ma). It is argued that pre-existing zircon was variously affected by these metamorphic events and that primary magmatic growth zones were replaced by secondary textures as a result of diffusion reaction processes and replacement of zircon by dissolution and recrystallization followed by new zircon rim growth. Collectively, the results show that the zircons equilibrated during high-grade metamorphism and record partial loss of radiogenic Pb during post-peak granulite events and new growth under subsequent anatectic conditions.     

华北克拉通古元古代晚期地壳演化和荆山群形成时代制约——胶东地区变质中-基性侵入岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年

胶东地区的荆山群呈近东西向环绕太古宙TTG花岗质片麻岩展布,主要由成熟度高的含石墨变泥砂质岩石、钙硅酸岩和大理岩组成,变质程度达高角闪岩相-麻粒岩相,具孔兹岩系性质。变质中-基性岩侵入到荆山群。它们的侵位时代对于探讨华北克拉通东部元古宙构造演化以及对荆山群沉积时代的制约,都有重要意义。锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年结果表明,遭受低级变质的闪长岩(S0835)岩浆锆石年龄为1852±9Ma (MSWD=2.1),遭受中高级变质的辉长岩(S0816)变质锆石年龄为1865±11Ma (MSWD=0.76)。结合区域资料,可得出如下结论:(1)荆山群孔兹岩系形成于古元古代晚期(2.2~1.9Ga);(2)古元古代期间,胶东地区从挤压体制转入伸展体制的时间在1.87Ga之前。在华北克拉通中西部的恒山、大青山地区,存在1.97~1.92Ga辉长岩,在1.92~1.83Ga期间发生变质,与本文研究结果类似。这表明华北克拉通中-西部和东部具有类似的古元古代演化历史。     

Geology and Pb-Pb Geochronology of Paleoproterozoic Volcanic and Granitic Rocks of Pitinga Province,Amazonian Craton,Northern Brazil

Pitinga Province is one of the main tin provinces of the Amazonian craton. The oldest unit in the studied area is the Iricoumé Group, which consists of rhyolites and rhyodacites with a ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb zircon age of 1888 ± 3 Ma. This volcanic sequence is intruded by five A-type granite plutons. The studied portion of the Europa pluton is homogeneous, and composed of a peralkaline alkali-amphibole hypersolvus granite that yielded a ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb zircon age of 1829 ± 1 Ma. The early facies of the Madeira pluton consists of a metaluminous amphibole-biotite syenogranite (rapakivi facies) with a ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb zircon age of 1824 ± 2 Ma. It is intruded by a 1822 ± 1 Ma, mildly peraluminous biotite syenogranite. The later facies of this pluton consist of a porphyritic, hypersolvus, alkali-feldspar granite and an albite granite. Field relationships and an extensive drilling survey indicate that these two facies are sheet-shaped and were emplaced almost simultaneously. The hypersolvus alkali-feldspar granite has a ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb zircon age of 1818 ± 2 Ma. Taking in account its field relationships with the albite granite, a similar age is assumed for the latter.

The albite granite intrudes the biotite granite and rapakivi granite facies of the Madeira pluton, which was emplaced by shallow-level cauldron subsidence. The albite granite is sheet shaped and consists of a magmatic peralkaline cryolite-bearing core facies partially surrounded by an autometa-somatic peraluminous fluorile-bearing border facies. Both albite granite facies are strongly tin-mineralized and display anomalous contents of Nb, Rb, Zr, and REE. A massive body of cryolite and pegmatitic rocks is associated with the albite granite.

The contrast in age between the Iricoume Group and the Europa + Madeira granites demonstrates that the plutons are not subvolcanic intrusions related to the extrusives. The ages of 1824 ± 2 Ma, 1822 ± 2 Ma, and 1818 ± 2 Ma obtained, respectively, for the amphibole + biotite syenogranite, biotite granite, and porphyritic hypersolvus granite of the Madeira pluton are consistent with the emplacement sequence inferred for these facies. These ages indicate that the Madeira pluton was emplaced in a relatively short time. Its facies are a little younger than the peralkaline granite of the Europa pluton, suggesting that the latter is not coeval with the Madeira peralkaline albite granite.
