内蒙古乌拉特中旗北七哥陶辉长岩SHRIMP锆石 U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其地质意义

内蒙古乌拉特中旗温更地区北七哥陶辉长岩岩体由橄榄辉长岩和角闪辉长岩组成,主要造岩矿物为橄榄石、辉石、斜长石及角闪石等.锆石SHRIMP U-Pb同位素定年结果表明,橄榄辉长岩形成于269±8Ma,为晚古生代华北板块北缘岩浆活动的产物.橄榄辉长岩和角闪辉长岩具有相似的稀土元素、微量元素以及同位素特征,即:轻稀土元素( LREE)富集的右倾平滑配分模式;大离子亲石元素(LILE)K、Sr、Ba明显富集,高场强元素(HFSE) Nb、Ta、U、Th相对亏损,但Zr-Hf不亏损;87Sr/86Sr(t)平均值分别为0.706776和0.706960,εNd(t)平均值分别为-8.8和-8.9,206pb/204Pb、207pb/204Pb、208Pb/204Pb比值的平均值分别为17.2019和17.2277、15.4252和15.4524、37.3082和37.4724,在s7 Sr/86Sr(t)-143Nd/144 Nd (t)图解上,北七哥陶辉长岩都落在了EMI型富集地幔附近.根据以上事实,结合区域资料表明,橄榄辉长岩和角闪辉长岩产于后碰撞的构造环境,并且来自相同的岩浆源区,主要继承了华北陆块内部EMI型富集地幔,可能受到了古亚洲洋俯冲消减过程中再循环下地壳组分对岩石圈地幔的改造.

Ti-in-zircon thermometry: applications and limitations

The titanium concentrations of 484 zircons with U-Pb ages of ∼1 Ma to 4.4 Ga were measured by ion microprobe. Samples come from 45 different igneous rocks (365 zircons), as well as zircon megacrysts (84) from kimberlite, Early Archean detrital zircons (32), and zircon reference materials (3). Samples were chosen to represent a large range of igneous rock compositions. Most of the zircons contain less than 20 ppm Ti. Apparent temperatures for zircon crystallization were calculated using the Ti-in-zircon thermometer (Watson et al. 2006, Contrib Mineral Petrol 151:413–433) without making corrections for reduced oxide activities (e.g., TiO₂ or SiO₂), or variable pressure. Average apparent Ti-in-zircon temperatures range from 500° to 850°C, and are lower than either zircon saturation temperatures (for granitic rocks) or predicted crystallization temperatures of evolved melts (∼15% melt residue for mafic rocks). Temperatures average: 653 ± 124°C (2 standard deviations, 60 zircons) for felsic to intermediate igneous rocks, 758 ± 111°C (261 zircons) for mafic rocks, and 758 ± 98°C (84 zircons) for mantle megacrysts from kimberlite. Individually, the effects of reduced or , variable pressure, deviations from Henry’s Law, and subsolidus Ti exchange are insufficient to explain the seemingly low temperatures for zircon crystallization in igneous rocks. MELTs calculations show that mafic magmas can evolve to hydrous melts with significantly lower crystallization temperature for the last 10–15% melt residue than that of the main rock. While some magmatic zircons surely form in such late hydrous melts, low apparent temperatures are found in zircons that are included within phenocrysts or glass showing that those zircons are not from evolved residue melts. Intracrystalline variability in Ti concentration, in excess of analytical precision, is observed for nearly all zircons that were analyzed more than once. However, there is no systematic change in Ti content from core to rim, or correlation with zoning, age, U content, Th/U ratio, or concordance in U-Pb age. Thus, it is likely that other variables, in addition to temperature and , are important in controlling the Ti content of zircon. The Ti contents of igneous zircons from different rock types worldwide overlap significantly. However, on a more restricted regional scale, apparent Ti-in-zircon temperatures correlate with whole-rock SiO₂ and HfO₂ for plutonic rocks of the Sierra Nevada batholith, averaging 750°C at 50 wt.% SiO₂ and 600°C at 75 wt.%. Among felsic plutons in the Sierra, peraluminous granites average 610 ± 88°C, while metaluminous rocks average 694 ± 94°C. Detrital zircons from the Jack Hills, Western Australia with ages from 4.4 to 4.0 Ga have apparent temperatures of 717 ± 108°C, which are intermediate between values for felsic rocks and those for mafic rocks. Although some mafic zircons have higher Ti content, values for Early Archean detrital zircons from a proposed granitic provenance are similar to zircons from many mafic rocks, including anorthosites from the Adirondack Mts (709 ± 76°C). Furthermore, the Jack Hills zircon apparent Ti-temperatures are significantly higher than measured values for peraluminous granites (610 ± 88°C). Thus the Ti concentration in detrital zircons and apparent Ti-in-zircon temperatures are not sufficient to independently identify parent melt composition.

How partial melts of mafic lower crust affect ascending magmas at oceanic ridges

We present experiments showing that the lower oceanic crust should melt efficiently and quickly when heated by hot ascending magmas. Average plagioclase–olivine and plagioclase–augite pairs from the lower crust at the Southwest Indian Ridge have melt–mineral saturation boundaries at 1,190 and 1,154°C, respectively, and melt rapidly (>0.01 mm/h) at 50°C or more above these temperatures. Melting experiments performed on olivine–plagioclase and augite–plagioclase mineral pairs from actual oceanic lower crustal rock samples and under conditions applicable to a MOR setting (1,220–1,330°C, 1 atm, quartz–fayalite–magnetite oxygen buffer, 0.25–24 h) indicate that the resulting disequilibrium melts are linear mixes of the mineral compositions. The rates of melting are slower than the rate of heat-diffusion into a sample and are approximated as:

冈底斯带东段墨脱地区早侏罗世辉长岩的成因及其构造意义

本文系统地报道了冈底斯岩浆岩带东段墨脱地区辉长岩的LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄、LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石Hf同位素成分分析、全岩地球化学及全岩Sr-Nd同位素组成。结果表明,墨脱辉长岩形成于185.97±0.33Ma,SiO_2含量(48.19%~54.93%),MgO和Mg#变化较大(MgO=4.53%~12.76%,Mg~#=50.0~67.4)。具有高CaO(7.44%~12.11%),低碱(Na_2O=0.93%~2.36%,K_2O=0.49%~2.21%)的特征。辉长岩稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分模式与E-MORB相似;微量元素上,样品具有富集Sr、Sc等元素,亏损高场强元素Zr-Hf、Nb-Ta等的特征。墨脱辉长岩ε_(Nd)(t)值介于-3.06和2.84之间,~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr(t)值为0.7059~0.7103。锆石的ε_(Hf)(t)值为-4.1~0,和相对古老的Hf模式年龄(866~1036Ma)。上述特征表明墨脱辉长岩经历了不同程度的大陆地壳的混染作用。结合对区域地质、年代学、岩石地球化学以及同位素等资料的全面分析,笔者认为冈底斯东段在早侏罗世应处于新特提斯洋板片俯冲的构造背景。     

Evolution of the eastern segment of the northern margin of the North China Craton in the Triassic: Evidence from the geochronology and geochemistry of magmatic rocks in Kaiyuan area,North LiaoningSCIEI北大核心CSCD

To constrain the evolution of the eastern segment of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO), petrography, geochemistry and zircon U-Pb dating analyses were conducted over the gabbro and rhyolite in the Kaiyuan area, North Liaoning, in the eastern segment of the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC). Zircon dating results indicate that the gabbros and rhyolite were formed in the Trassic (246 +/- 2Ma, 241 +/- 2Ma, 226 +/- 3Ma and 241 +/- 2Ma). The three gabbros of Triassic have similar geochemical characteristics, originated from the mantle, and were contaminated by crust materials in the process of ascending and emplacement. The Early Triassic gabbro (246Ma) originated from the enriched mantle source metasomatized by fluid. It was formed by 1% partial melting of garnet spinel lherzolite in the extensional environment caused by breaking off slab. The Middle Triassic gabbro (241Ma) was derived from a transitional mantle metasomatized by fluid and melt, and was formed by 1% to 2% partial melting of garnet spinel peridotite. The Late Triassic gabbro (226Ma) was derived from a transitional mantle metasomatized by fluid and melt, and was formed by 3% similar to 4% partial melting of garnet spinel lherzolite in the post-orogenic extensional environment. The Middle Triassic rhyolite (241Ma) has the characteristic of post collisional I-type granite, that enriched in light rare earth elements and large ion lithophile elements, depleted in high field strength elements, and negative Nb, Ti, P and Sr anomaly. The low content of Sr and Yb suggested a 30 similar to 40km depth source. The Middle Trassic "bimodal" igneous rocks implied an extensional environment caused by the remainder oceanic crust breaked away at the bottom of the crust. Based on the lithologic association, regional strata information and the chronological data in this paper and published by predecessors, the Triassic magmatism in the eastern segment of the northern margin of the NCC can be divided into five stages: 252 similar to 246Ma, 246 similar to 242Ma, 242 similar to 240Ma, 240 similar to 230Ma and 230 similar to 215Ma. These five magmatic events were the results of the southward subduction and extinction of the PAO: (1) The transformation from active continental margin to syn-collisional setting resulted in the final closure of the PAO (252 similar to 246 Ma); (2) Continuous pushing resulted in orogenic uplift (246 similar to 242Ma); (3) Extension caused by the detachment of the remainder subduction oceanic crust at the bottom of the crust (242 similar to 240Ma); (4) Rapid uplift and crustal thickening (240 similar to 230Ma); (5) Extension of post-orogenic(230 similar to 215Ma).     

冈底斯岩浆带中段岩浆混合作用：来自花岗杂岩的证据

巨型冈底斯岩浆岩带横旦于青藏高原南部,主要由花岗质岩石组成,其中存在大量的镁铁质微粒包体,以辉长岩为主的基性岩相对集中在岩浆岩带南部.辉长岩类与花岗质岩石呈渐变过渡关系.辉长岩中出现有石英,暗色矿物沿着长石颗粒边部分布,花岗闪长岩中出现有基性倍长石（An＞80）,辉长岩中有中长石（An=45）出现,镁铁质微粒包体（MME）包体中倍长石-钙长石（An=72～90）和中长石（An=37）共存,这些矿物组合的不协调现象是岩浆演化过程中混合作用的表现形式;MME的化学成分相对高钾、铝和铁镁,MME、花岗岩类寄主岩及辉长岩类岩石化学成分呈直线变异趋势（相对MgO）,MME的SiO2和K2O、Na2O成分的过渡性变化也都反映出混合作用特征;基性辉长岩类、酸性花岗质岩石和MME包体的稀土配分模式基本一致,其微量元素特征也具有明显的一致性,反映了岩浆混合作用的特征;辉长岩类的^143Nd/^144Nd比值较高,^87Sr/^86Sr比值较低,而偏酸性的花岗质岩石中^143Nd/^144Nd比值较低,^87Sr/^86Sr比值较高,构成直线性分布趋势,并位于地幔演化线的延伸方向上,显示区域岩浆混合作用特征;辉长岩、花岗岩类和MME的同位素年龄值十分接近,也表明三者属于岩浆混旌献饔貌？研究证明,冈底斯岩浆岩带中不同岩性均由不同比例的基性端元和酸性端元成分混合而成,其中基性端元成分所占的比例变化在16%～90%不等,仅从侵入岩浆推算,幔源基性岩浆对冈底斯地壳垂向增厚的贡献率超过5%.可以推断,随着俯冲-碰撞过程中产生的基性岩浆底侵作用,冈底斯岩浆岩带发生壳幔岩浆混合作用,其时代为50～45Ma,属于印度-欧亚大陆碰撞开始15Ma后的主碰撞期内,岩浆混合作用是碰撞过程中壳幔物质与成分交换的主要形式之一,是研究主碰撞带北部青藏高原的陆壳增生与改造、地壳结构及成分变化重要途径之一.     

An example of post-collisional mafic magmatism: the gabbro–anorthosite layered complex from the Tin Zebane area (western Hoggar, Algeria)

The Tin Zebane gabbro–anorthosite layered mafic intrusion represented by plagioclase-rich cumulates forms a set of small lenticular to round-shaped mainly undeformed bodies intruding the Pan-African high-pressure metamorphic rocks from western Hoggar (Tuareg shield, southwest Algeria). The coarse-grained anorthosites are mainly made of slightly zoned bytownite (An_86–74) with the higher anorthite content at the cores. Anorthosites are interlayered with leucogabbros and gabbros that show preserved magmatic structures and with olivine gabbros characterised by coronitic textures. The primary assemblage in gabbros includes plagioclase (An_93–70), olivine (Fo_77–70), zoned clinopyroxene (En_43–48Fs_05–13Wo_41–49 with Al₂O₃ up to 4.3 wt.%) and rare orthopyroxene (En_73–78). Pyroxenes and olivine are commonly surrounded by Ca-amphibole. The olivine–plagioclase contact is usually marked by a fine orthopyroxene–Cr-spinel–amphibole symplectite. A magnesian pigeonite (En_70–75Fs_19–20Wo_6–10) is also involved in corona. The coronitic minerals have equilibrated with the primary mineral rims at P–T–a_H2O conditions of 797 ± 42 °C for a_H2O=0.5 and 808 ± 44 °C for a_H2O=0.6 at 6.2 ± 1.4 kbar. The Tin Zebane gabbroic rocks are depleted in REE with a positive Eu anomaly, high Sr (>10 * chondrite) and Al₂O₃ concentrations (17–33%) that support plagioclase accumulation with the extreme case represented by the anorthosites. The REE patterns can be modelised using plagioclase, clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene REE signature, without any role played by accessory minerals. High MgO content points to olivine as a major cumulate phase. Anorthositic gabbros Sr and Nd isotopic initial ratios are typical of a depleted mantle source (Sr_i=0.70257–0.70278; _Nd=+5.9 to +7.8). This isotopic signature is identical to that of the 10-km wide 592 Ma old dyke complex composed of alkaline to peralkaline granites and tholeiitic gabbros and one single bimodal complex can be inferred. The source of the Tin Zebane basic rocks corresponds to the prevalent mantle (PREMA). The Tin Zebane complex was emplaced along the mega-shear zone bounding to the west the Archaean In Ouzzal metacraton. The model proposed suggests a linear lithospheric delamination along this rigid and cold terrane due to post-collisional transtensional movements. This allowed the asthenosphere to rise rapidly and to melt by adiabatic pressure release. Transtension along a rigid body allowed these mantle melts to reach the surface rapidly without any crustal contamination.     

New constraints on the origin and age of Variscan eclogitic rocks (Ligurian Alps,Italy)

Gabbro and eclogite boudins are preserved within the amphibolites of the composite para- and ortho-gneiss Variscan basement of the Savona Crystalline Massif (Ligurian Briançonnais, Italy). Whole rock trace element patterns, low initial εNd (+5.4 to +8.8) data and trace element analyses on relict igneous clinopyroxene revealed that the mafic rocks were derived from depleted mantle melts, which most likely underwent crustal contamination during emplacement. Gabbros have a cumulus origin controlled by clinopyroxene and plagioclase segregation, whereas the eclogites represent evolved melts. U-Pb and trace element micro-analyses on zircons separated from one amphibolitised gabbro and one eclogite help to constrain coeval ages at ~468 Ma for their igneous protoliths. The occurrence of a few inherited zircons confirms the involvement of a crustal component in the petrogenesis of the mafic rocks. In the eclogite, concordant zircon ages younger than the protolith age testify to metamorphic re-crystallisation (or new growth) from about 420 to 305 Ma. Zircon textures and trace element compositions indicate that eclogite facies metamorphism occurred 392–376 Ma ago. The younger zircon portions yielding a mean Concordia age of 333 ± 7 Ma are related to equilibration or new growth during the post-eclogite, amphibolite-facies equilibration.
