~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar Dating of Quartz from Ore in the Baiyangping Cu-Co Polymetallic Ore-Concentrated Area, Lanping Basin, Yunnan

40Ar-39Ar fast neutron activation age spectrum of quartz in ore collected from the Baiyangping Cu-Co polymetallic ore-concentrated area, Lanping Basin, is saddle-shaped. The plateau age, minimum appearance age and isochron age shown on the spectra are 56.53±0.43 Ma, 55.52±1.78 Ma and 55.90±0.29 Ma respectively. The age data are consistent with each other within 1σ uncertainties. Because the given initial 40Ar/36Ar value of 294.7±1.14 is very close to Nier's value (295.5±5), both plateau and isochron ages may be considered as the forming time of quartz. So the age of 55.90-56.53 Ma represents the forming age of ore deposits. It is obvious that the ore deposits were formed during the Early Himalayan period.     

鲁东晚白垩世玄武岩及其中幔源包体的岩石学和地球化学研究

山东胶莱盆地大西庄的王氏群玄武岩属于高钛碱性岩系列,全岩40Ar-39Ar年龄为73.2±0.3Ma,形成于晚白垩世岩石富N2O,Mg#值为63-66,(Ne-Hy-Q)值为6.03-10.05,轻稀土富集,(La/Yb)N比值为11.18-12.56,重稀土有一是程度的分异,富集大离子亲石元素,Tb显著正异常,Zr轻微正异常,具有与大陆板内碱性玄武岩类似的特征。εNd(T)值为7.08-7.55,87Sr/86Sr(T)比值为0.7035-0.7038,反映了玄武岩浆来源于亏损的地幔源区,在上升过程中几乎没有受到地壳物质的混染,原始玄武岩浆由软流圈和新生岩石圈地幔分别部分熔融产生的熔体相混合而形成,起源深度为50-70km。玄武岩含有幔源包体,岩石类型为尖晶石二辉橄榄岩。包体的温压估算结果为T=1010-1140℃,P=20kb。包体的矿物相与平衡温压估算值以及玄武岩浆起源深度估计值表明,胶州地区晚白垩世时岩石圈厚度大约为60-70km,岩石圈地幔具有新生的性质。因此,中国东部岩石圈减薄发生在125-73Ma之间。此后,中国东部进入了统一的以拉张为主的动力学背景之下。     

Age of Jurassic continental tholeiites of French Guyana, Surinam and Guinea: Implications for the initial opening of the Central Atlantic Ocean

A detailed ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar study, of mineral separates from the Jurassic Atlantic Continental Tholeiites (JACT) of Guyana (French Guyana and Surinam, South America), and Guinea (West Africa) related to the initial opening of the Central Atlantic, has been carried out. In French Guyana, plateau ages of 196.0 ± 5.7 Ma and 196.1 ± 7.5 Ma were obtained on single, small amphibole grains from NNW—SSE trending dykes. In Guinea, single biotite grains from intrusive formations from the Kakoulima and Fouta Djalon areas yielded plateau ages of 200.4 ± 0.2 Ma and 194.8 ± 0.5 Ma, concordant with high temperature apparent ages on other biotites. The bulk plagioclase samples display disturbed age spectra due to alteration and excess argon. However, intermediate temperature, weighted mean plagioclase ages are similar in both regions of Guyana and Guinea, ranging from 200.2 ± 2.4 Ma to 188.7 ± 1.9 Ma, partly in agreement with the amphibole and biotite data.

These data, combined with previous ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar and U/Pb results from the northern part of the Central Atlantic margins, indicate intense magmatic activity distributed over a large area from Iberia to Liberia (ca. 4500 km long) for a short period of time (204-195 Ma, perhaps less for the bulk of the magmatism) during the initial break-up of Pangea continent. These data do not support an initiation of the magmatism from a radial volcano-tectonic system centred in the south of the region, as suggested by May [1], and the initial break-up seems to affect the whole Central Atlantic during a period of 9 Ma.     

新疆阿尔泰山南缘卡拉先格尔斑岩铜矿带成因再认识——来自哈腊苏铜矿硫-铅-氢-氧同位素和40/Ar-39Ar年龄的约束

通过对卡拉先格尔铜矿带中的哈腊苏斑岩铜矿床详细的野外地质调查和系统的同位素地球化学示踪和测年研究,探讨了阿尔泰南缘铜矿的成矿时代及矿床成因。研究表明,卡拉先格尔铜矿带的铜矿化主要呈不均匀团块、细脉或细脉浸染状产于受断裂控制的钾长石_石英脉、绿帘石脉以及石英_方解石脉中,线型分布明显,空间分布极不均匀,缺乏典型斑岩铜矿的面型蚀变矿化分带。含矿钾长石脉40Ar_39Ar年龄为(230±5)Ma,大大晚于容矿斑岩脉的形成时代〔锆石SHRIMPU_Pb年龄(380.8±5.7)Ma〕。硫_铅同位素指示成矿物质主要源于火山岩地层和花岗闪长斑岩脉。氢_氧同位素显示成矿流体为岩浆水和大气降水的混合物。据此认为,卡拉先格尔铜矿带主成矿时代为印支期,成矿作用与后造山阶段沿NNW向老山口断裂发育的偏碱性岩浆活动有关,但不排除存在同造山期的斑岩型矿化。     

Contact metamorphism in the Malashan dome, North Himalayan gneiss domes, southern Tibet: an example of shallow extensional tectonics in the Tethys Himalaya

Combined petrographic, structural and geochronological study of the Malashan dome, one of the North Himalayan gneiss domes, reveals that it is cored by a Miocene granite, the Malashan granite, that intruded into the Jurassic sedimentary rocks of Tethys Himalaya. Two other granites in the area are referred to as the Paiku and Cuobu granites. New zircon SHRIMP U-Pb and muscovite and biotite ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar dating show that the Paiku granite was emplaced during 22.2–16.2 Ma (average 19.3 ± 3.9 Ma) and cooled rapidly to 350–400 °C at around 15.9 Ma. Whole-rock granite chemistry suggests the original granitic magma may have formed by muscovite dehydration melting of a protolith chemically similar to the High Himalayan Crystalline Sequence. Abundant calcareous metasedimentary rocks and minor garnet-staurolite-biotite-muscovite ± andalusite schists record contact metamorphism by three granites that intruded intermittently into the Jurassic sediments between 18.5 and 15.3 Ma. Two stages of widespread penetrative ductile deformation, D1 and D2, can be defined. Microstructural studies of metapelites combined with geothermobarometry and pseudosection analyses yield P – T conditions of 4.8 ± 0.8 kbar at 550 ± 50 °C during a non-deformational stage between D1 and D2, and 3.1–4.1 kbar at 530–575 °C during syn- to post-D2. The pressure estimates for the syn- to post-D2 growth of andalusite suggest relatively shallow (depth of ∼15.2 km) extensional ductile deformation that took place within a shear zone of the South Tibetan Detachment System. Close temporal association between intrusion of the Malashan granite and onset of D2 suggests extension may have been triggered by the intrusion of the Malashan granite.

云南哀牢山金矿带大坪韧性剪切带型金矿40Ar-39Ar定年

云南大坪金矿是哀牢山金矿带中最重要的金矿之一,主要赋存在受到强烈韧性剪切和水-岩反应的加里东期闪长岩中,是典型的韧性剪切带控矿型金矿。本文对大坪金矿绢英岩化近矿围岩中的热液绢云母进行了40Ar-39Ar定年,得到其坪年龄为33.76±0.65Ma,相应的反等时线和正等时线年龄分别为33.55±0.74Ma和33.57±0.74Ma,显示大坪属于喜马拉雅早期金矿。这些年龄数据与哀牢山金矿带中广泛出现的喜马拉雅期煌斑岩脉年龄(33～34Ma)非常接近,显示金矿与上地幔部分熔融形成的煌斑岩之间可能存在成因上的联系。喜马拉雅早期,本区在地壳拉张和强烈韧性剪切条件下,Moho面上升,地幔物质部分熔融并上涌,形成大量煌斑岩等基性岩脉,地幔排气形成的深源地幔流体和下地壳脱水形成的富CO2流体混合,沿韧性剪切带上升,并与糜棱岩化的加里东期闪长岩围岩发生水-岩反应,局部发生流体沸腾作用,导致成矿流体物理化学条件的改变和矿石矿物的沉淀,在剪切带脆性构造中形成含金石英脉。     

西藏甫勒铜矿热液白云母 40Ar- 39Ar年龄及赋矿凝灰岩成因研究

西藏甫勒铜矿位于拉萨地块西段,系与火山热液作用有关的铜矿点.矿化主要发育在前人所认为的林子宗群帕那组凝灰岩中,大量热液白云母与矿石硫化物共生.本文对热液白云母进行了40 Ar-39 Ar年代学测定,获得其坪年龄为77.0±0.8 Ma(MSWD=5.8),等时线年龄为76.1±1.3 Ma(MSWD=4.1),二者在误差范围内基本一致,指示其成矿作用发生于晚白垩世.白云母40 Ar-39 Ar年代学测试结果表明,矿区赋矿凝灰岩成岩年龄应早于77 Ma,成岩作用发生于晚白垩世,并非前人所认为的始新世帕那组火山岩.赋矿凝灰岩地球化学组成表明其为钙碱性、准铝质岩石系列;相对富集Rb、Ba、Th、U、K等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Zr、Ti等高场强元素,呈现出陆缘弧火山岩属性,与狮泉河地区及林周地区典中组火山岩具有一定相似性.此外,凝灰岩地球化学组成还表现出高Sr,低Y的特征,具备部分埃达克岩的属性.通过年代学、岩石地球化学研究,本文认为将甫勒矿区赋矿凝灰岩划归于帕那组火山岩存在问题,该凝灰岩应形成于晚白垩世新特提斯洋板片低角度或平板俯冲过程中板片自身部分熔融.     

青海尕林格矽卡岩型铁矿金云母40Ar/39Ar年代学及成矿地质意义

尕林格大型矽卡岩型铁多金属矿床位于东昆仑祁漫塔格盆山结合带中部,是祁漫塔格斑岩-矽卡岩成矿带内代表性矿床之一。因其地处盆地覆盖区、缺乏直接定年对象,一直未开展成矿年龄精细测定,制约了矿床成因和形成地球动力学过程的深入认识。本文采用40 Ar-39 Ar测年技术,获得尕林格矿区Ⅱ矿群磁铁矿矿石中金云母的40 Ar-39 Ar坪年龄为(235.8±1.7)Ma,等时线年龄为(234.1±3.7)Ma,反等时线年龄为(234.2±3.5)Ma。3组年龄数据在误差范围内完全一致,样品的坪年龄可以很好地代表尕林格矿床成矿年龄。结合区域成矿年龄数据表明,祁漫塔格成矿带在三叠纪存在大规模成矿作用,与花岗质岩浆活动有密切的成因联系。祁漫塔格带内强烈的岩浆活动和成矿作用是对三叠纪后碰撞伸展构造环境的响应,形成了构造-岩浆-成矿三位一体的时空体系。     

南岭地区早侏罗世成矿作用——来自粤北大顶铁锡矿床LA-ICP-MS和Ar-Ar年代学证据

近来南岭地区陆续见有早侏罗世成岩作用的报道,但是否存在同期成矿作用尚无定论。本文报道了大顶矿区石背岩体二长花岗岩、花岗闪长岩和大顶矽卡岩铁锡矿体的高精度同位素年龄数据,确认该地区存在早侏罗世成矿事件。石背岩体二长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄分别为187.5±1.8 Ma(MSWD=0.81)和186.9±2.0 Ma(MSWD=1.15),大顶矽卡岩铁锡矿体中的金云母~(39)Ar-~(40)Ar坪年龄为185.9±1.2 Ma,等时线年龄为184.5±2.6 Ma(MSWD=0.83)。该矿床成矿作用是南岭地区首例有精确年龄报道的早侏罗世的成矿事件,为南岭成矿带矿产调查评价工作提供了一种新的选择。早侏罗世岩浆岩岩性组合、空间展布特点以及中侏罗世才开始的太平洋板块西向挤压过程,说明大顶矿床的成岩成矿过程更可能是受华南印支运动晚期的后造山伸展作用或者垮塌过程控制。
