Paleozoic magmatic events in the Strandja Massif,NW Turkey

The Strandja massif consists of metamorphic basement intruded by large Early Permian plutons of the Kirklareli type and overlain by Triassic metasedimentary cover. Together with its continuation in Bulgaria this massif forms an important link between the Pontides and the orogenic belts of Europe. Various types of orthogneisses constitute a significant part of the metamorphic basement however these rocks have until now escaped a particular study and therefore the Paleozoic history of the massif is essentially unknown. In this study these rocks are classified and mapped as hornblende-biotite, biotite-muscovite, and leucocratic orthogneisses. Their modal compositions correspond to quartz diorite, tonalite, granodiorite and trondhjemite. Geochemical data suggest a calc-alkaline trend of differentiation and metaluminous character of the parent magmas. Isotopic dating using the single zircon evaporation method has shown that magmatic ages of these orthogneisses cluster within a short time interval between 312±2 and 315 ±5 Ma in the Carboniferous. At the same time inherited ages of magmatic zircons in these rocks record a long lived magmatic activity between 340 and 650 Ma. We infer that the Carboniferous orthogneisses were formed in a magmatic arc that evolved atop of a mature continental basement. Previously established ([1, 2]) Early Permian magmatic event has been confirmed by additional age determinations constraining it at 257±6 Ma. Tectonic setting of this episode is also interpreted as subduction related taking into consideration its geochemical features and relationships with surrounding tectonic units.

The Rio Narcea gold belt intrusions: geology, petrology, geochemistry and timing

This paper discusses the petrographical, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of the intrusive rocks located along the Rio Narcea Gold Belt, and the timing of formation of the El Valle-Boinás deposit. Rocks in the belt range from quartz-monzodiorites through quartz-monzogranites to monzogranites. The former are made up of pyroxene (clino and ortho), amphibole (magnesiohornblende), biotite, zoned plagioclase (An35-70), and to a lesser degree quartz and K-feldspar. The monzogranites consist of biotite, zoned plagioclase (An30-60), quartz and K-feldspar. All igneous rocks are characterized by the presence of ilmenite and the lack or scarce presence of magnetite indicating their formation under reducing conditions. The granitoids are calc-alkaline I type, potassium-rich and highly reducent with more ferrous than ferric iron. Their characteristics are like the plutons associated with gold and copper (zinc) skarns, but their characteristics reflect more reducent formation conditions, increasing their capacity to form gold skarns.The Boinas granitoid emplacement occurred at about 303±6 Ma and generated calcic and magnesic skarns at the contact with limestone and dolostones of the Láncara Formation. Skarns and granitoids were first altered to amphibole and sericite, respectively, and mineralized at 302±9 Ma. The intrusion of subvolcanic porphyritic dikes produced a second period of alteration at 285±4 Ma, characterized by carbonatization and sericitization of the monzogranites and chloritization and serpentinization of the skarns. The later intrusion of diabasic dikes at 255±6 Ma produced limited carbonatization, silicification and sericitization and hypogene oxidation of the previous stages. Supergene oxidation then occurred at the top of the ore and along fractures and breccias.

川西雀儿山花岗岩的地球化学和岩石成因

位于川西义敦岛弧北端的雀儿山花岗岩体主要由岩体边部或者作为包体的花岗闪长岩、主体似斑状花岗岩和较晚的呈条带状或者脉状伟晶质、细晶质花岗岩组成。这些花岗质岩石表现了较宽的常量元素变化范围,属于高钾钙碱性到shoshonite亚铝到过铝质岩石系列,表现了较平坦式具有负Eu异常的稀土配分模式。在原始地幔标准化的多元素图解上所有这些岩石表现Rb、Th和K等大离子亲石元素强烈富集,Nb、Sr、P和Ti等元素明显亏损。Sm-Nd同位素分析结果表明似斑状花岗岩亏损地幔模式年龄tDM=1.23~1.61Ga,εNd(t)=-5.3~-6.3,细晶花岗岩脉tDM=2.30Ga,εNd(t)=-6.9。这些岩石的εNd(t)分布在康定杂岩的Nd同位素演化范围内和上部。岩石地球化学和Nd同位素特征研究揭示其花岗岩岩浆起源于上部地壳杂砂岩、砂页岩和泥质岩石的部分熔融,经历了早期阶段的铁镁质矿物和副矿物的分离结晶,晚期钾长石等卷入了分离结晶。雀儿山花岗质岩浆活动发生于同碰撞到碰撞后隆升构造背景。

内蒙古科尔沁右翼中旗敖兰三队侵入体年龄及地球化学特征

内蒙古科尔沁右翼中旗敖兰三队侵入体的同位素年代学及岩石地球化学研究表明,敖兰三队侵入体巨晶正长花岗岩具有低Sr、高Yb型花岗岩特征,其LA-ICP-MS锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值为220±1Ma,表明该侵入体是晚三叠世早期侵位形成的。岩石高硅、富碱、高铁镁比、贫钙、贫镁和低钛;稀土元素配分曲线呈现"海鸥式"分布特征,显示强烈的Eu负异常。微量元素特征显示较低的Sr、Ba含量,较高的Yb、Zr和Y含量,在微量元素原始地幔标准化蛛网图上显示明显的Sr、Ba和Ti的负异常。岩石具有高的Rb/Sr和Rb/Nb,显示出壳源岩浆的成分特征。综合分析表明,本区巨晶正长花岗岩为低压下地壳部分熔融的产物。根据(Y+Nb)-Rb、(Yb+Ta)-Rb、Nb-Y-Ce三角图解,并结合区域构造演化,认为巨晶正长花岗岩形成于造山后伸展的构造环境。在中—晚三叠世,内蒙古科尔沁右翼中旗地区构造体制经历了重要的转变,由挤压体制转变为造山后软流圈上涌、岩石圈减薄。
