吉南新太古代高镁安山岩及其地质意义

吉南张三沟岩组和金银别岩组发育一套高镁安山岩类,SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年为（2 493±12）Ma,形成于新太古代。高镁安山岩类属于钙碱性系列,w(SiO₂)为 53.93%～57.90%,富MgO(w(MgO)为6.54%～8.82%）,高Mg^#值(0.68～0.71, 平均0.69),高铬(w(Cr)为(270.66～1 117.30)×10^－6,平均443.62×10^－6）,高镍(w(Ni) 为(141.74～542.98)×10^－6,平均250.50×10^－6）,这种高MgO、Cr、Ni的特征表明其成因与地幔部分熔融有关。另一方面,该岩石富集大离子亲石元素（如Sr、Cs、K、Pb、Rb和Ba）,亏损高场强元素（如Nb、Ta、Ti、P）,富集LREE（w(Ce)为(38.34～59.34)×10^－6）,亏损HREE（w(Yb)为(1.38～1.57)×10^－6）,显示弧火山岩的特点。上述地球化学特征表明,岩石可能是消减板片脱水流体或者消减板片部分熔融的熔体与地幔橄榄岩相互作用的结果,揭示它们形成于消减带的构造环境,表明新太古代已经存在现代类型的板块构造。     

西天山玉希莫勒盖达坂玄武安山岩—高钾玄武安山岩—粗安岩组合的发现及其地质意义

在阿吾拉勒东段玉希莫勒盖达坂地区大哈拉军山组主要是一套以安山质（粗安质）-英安质（粗面质-粗面英安质）火山熔岩和火山碎屑岩为主的火山岩建造。根据岩石地球化学特征,本文在大哈拉军山组火山岩的上部厘定出了钙碱性玄武安山岩—高钾钙碱性玄武安山岩—粗安岩（橄榄安粗岩系）组合。微量元素地球化学特征显示,三类岩石形成于岛弧环境,钙碱性玄武安山岩的形成与板片俯冲作用有关,而高钾钙碱性玄武安山岩和粗安岩的形成则与俯冲板片断裂诱发的软流圈上涌作用有关。钙碱性玄武安山岩—高钾钙碱性玄武安山岩—粗安岩组合的存在说明阿吾拉勒东段在晚石炭世由于俯冲板片的断裂,构造体制由挤压转变为伸展。玉希莫勒盖达坂大哈拉军山组上部的火山岩组合与世界许多著名铜-金矿集区（如Papua New Guinea）的火山岩组合相似,显示该地区晚石炭世具有良好的铜、金成矿条件。     

小兴安岭西北部与永新金矿有关岩浆岩的年代学和地球化学及成矿构造环境

永新金矿是近年发现的大型蚀变岩型脉状金矿床,闪长玢岩脉等与金矿脉相互穿切并侵入于上盘龙江组火山岩中。锆石LA ICP MS U-Pb测年显示,龙江组安山岩结晶年龄为(1137 ± 18)Ma,闪长玢岩结晶年龄为(1148 ± 19)Ma,均形成于早白垩世晚期。二者钠钾含量变化相对较大,相对富铝富铁、钙镁含量中等,从火山岩到脉岩表现为钙碱性向碱性系列过渡特征。火山岩、脉岩与矿石的稀土元素配分曲线有很好的一致性,矿石稀土含量低于岩石。岩石微量元素总体显示Zr、Hf、Nd、U等明显富集,而Nb、Ta、Th、P、Ti等明显亏损。在Sr/Y-Y和(La/Yb)N-(Yb)N图解中,所有样品均落入经典岛弧岩石范围;在Nb-Y、Ta-Yb的构造环境判别图中均处于火山弧岩浆岩区,在(La/Yb)N-δEu变异图上落在壳-幔型岩浆范围。结合矿床稳定同位素及区域金矿时空分布规律等综合特征,认为永新金矿的形成与早白垩世古太平洋板块俯冲所引发的(火山)岩浆活动有关。     

The eruptive history of the Mascota volcanic field,western Mexico: Age and volume constraints on the origin of andesite among a diverse suite of lamprophyric and calc-alkaline lavas

The Mascota volcanic field is located in the Jalisco Block of western Mexico, where the Rivera Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate. It spans an area of ∼ 2000 km² and contains ∼ 87 small cones and lava flows of minette, absarokite, basic hornblende lamprophyre, basaltic andesite, and andesite. There are no contemporary dacite or rhyolite lavas. New ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages are presented for 35 samples, which are combined with nine dates from the literature to document the eruptive history of this volcanic field. The oldest lavas (2.4 to 0.5 Ma) are found in the southern part of the field area, whereas the youngest lavas (predominantly < 0.5 Ma) are found in the northern portion. On the basis of these ages, field mapping, and the use of ortho aerial photographs and digital elevation models, it is estimated that a combined volume of 6.8 ± 3.1 km³ erupted in the last 2.4 Myr, which leads to an average eruption rate of ∼ 0.003 km³/kyr, and an average volume per eruptive unit of < 0.1 km³. The dominant lava type is andesite (2.1 ± 0.9 km³), followed by absarokite (1.6 ± 0.8 km³), basaltic andesite (1.2 ± 0.5 km³), basic hornblende lamprophyre (1.0 ± 0.4 km³), and minette (0.9 ± 0.5 km³). Thus, the medium-K andesite and basaltic andesite comprise approximately half (49%) of the erupted magma, with twice as much andesite as basaltic andesite, and they occur in close spatial and temporal association with the highly potassic, lamprophyric lavas. There is no time progression to the type of magma erupted. A wide variety of evidence indicate that the high-MgO (8–9 wt.% ) basaltic andesites (52–53% wt.% SiO₂) were formed by H₂O flux melting of the asthenopheric arc mantle wedge, whereas the mafic minettes and absarokites were formed by partial melting (induced by thermal erosion) of depleted lithospheric mantle containing phlogopite-bearing veins. There is only limited differentiation of the potassic magmas, with none more evolved than 55.4 wt.% SiO₂ and 4.4 wt.% MgO. This may be attributable to rapid crystallization of the mantle-derived melts in the deep crust, owing to their low volumes. Thus, the andesites (58–63 wt.% SiO₂) are notable for being both the most voluminous and the most evolved of all lava types in the Mascota volcanic field, which is not consistent with their extraction from extensively crystallized (60–70%), low-volume intrusions. Instead, the evidence supports the origin of the andesites by partial melting of amphibolitized, mafic lower crust, driven by the emplacement of the minettes, absarokites, and the high-Mg basaltic andesites.     

Audio frequency magneto-telluric survey of Norikura Volcano in central Japan

Norikura Volcano has not been active during the last 10,000 years in spite of the activity of the surrounding volcanic mountains. To study past volcanic activities, geological studies were carried out extensively. However, quite a few geophysical investigations were conducted to contribute to volcanology. Our objective is to detect the present subsurface structure of Norikura Volcano and to define volcanic stratifications. In the vicinity of Norikura Volcano, geothermal fields are still active. Subsurface volcanic rocks in this area have been exposed to geothermal activity and altered. To comprehend volcanic stratifications of Norikura and geothermal activity, we conducted audio frequency magneto-telluric (AMT) surveys around Norikura Volcano. AMT survey is useful in clearly defining the resistivity structure related to volcanic regions. The AMT data were acquired over a frequency range 10 Hz–10 kHz. Decomposition analysis was applied to the tensor impedance data. Subsequently, apparent resistivity and phase data were inverted using a two-dimensional magneto-telluric (MT) inversion and a model of Norikura was derived. The final model manifests that the surface resistors are in agreement with andesite lava or dacite lava. As for the deeper structure, a horizontal conductor is situated above resistive basements. The alteration of the conductor was weak, while basement rocks were strongly altered and/or heated through the thermal activity. The existence of these layers seems to indicate the degree of thermal activity of Norikura Volcano.     

Generation of rhyolite magmas by melting of subducting sediments in Shodo-Shima island, Southwest Japan, and its bearing on the origin of high-Mg andesites

Abstract Geochemical characteristics of rhyolites from the Miocene Setouchi volcanic belt in the Southwest Japan arc were examined. The following observations may be best explained by the derivation of rhyolite magmas by melting of subducting sediments as follows. (i) Sr-Nd-Pb isotope compositions of Setouchi rhyolites are close to those of the local trench-fill sediments; (ii) major element compositions of rhyolites are identical to those of experimentally produced sediment melts; and (iii) concentrations of incompatible elements in rhyolites are consistent with partial melting of the local trench-fill sediments in the presence of residual garnet. Furthermore, trace element and isotope signatures of Setouchi high-Mg andesites can be also rationalized by interaction of such rhyolitic sediment melts with overlying mantle peridotites.     

Sr and O isotope constraints on source and crustal contamination in the high-K calc-alkaline and shoshonitic neogene volcanic rocks of SE Spain

The Neogene volcanic province of SE Spain (NVPS) is characterized by calc-alkaline (CA), high-K calc-alkaline (KCA), shoshonitic (SH), ultrapotassic (UP), and alkaline basaltic (AB) volcanic series. All these series, except the AB, have high LILE/LREE, LILE/HFSE and B/Be ratios and high but variable Sr, Pb and O isotope compositions. The KCA and SH lavas contain metapelitic xenoliths whose mineralogical and chemical composition are typical of anatectic restites. The geochemical characteristics of CA, KCA, SH and UP series suggest that they originated from the lithospheric mantle, previously contaminated by fluids derived from pelagic sediments. Additionally, the presence of restite xenoliths in the KCA and SH lavas indicates some sort of interaction between the mantle-derived magmas and the continental crust. Trace element and isotope modeling for the KCA and SH lavas and the restites, point towards the existence of two mixing stages. During the first stage, the lithospheric mantle was contaminated by 1–5% of fluids derived from pelagic sediments, which produced a fertile source heterogeneously enriched in incompatible elements (particularly LILE and LREE), as well as in ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, without significant modifications of the δ¹⁸O values. In the second stage, the primary melts derived from this metasomatized mantle, which inherited the enrichment in LILE, LREE and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, interacted with crustal liquids from the Betic Paleozoic basement during their ascent towards the surface. This mixing process caused an increase in δ¹⁸O values and, to a lesser extent, in ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios. However, the incompatible trace elements abundances only change slightly, even for high mixing rates, due to their similar concentrations in both components. We suggest the following geodynamic scenario to account for the global evolution of this area: (1) a Late Cretaceous to Oligocene subduction scheme during which mantle metasomatism took place, shortly followed by Upper Oligocene to Lower Miocene continental collision, and (2) a Middle to Upper Miocene extensional event triggering partial melting of the previously metasomatized mantle and the extrusion of the CA and associated magmas.     

兴蒙造山带中段南缘晚古生代演化过程:来自苏尼特右旗地区沉积地层及火山岩的证据

本文选取内蒙古苏尼特右旗地区石炭-二叠纪地层及火山岩为研究对象,通过典型地层剖面测制、锆石U-Pb年代学、古生物和地球化学等方法,查明其形成时代、物质来源及沉积环境,并进一步探讨兴蒙造山带中段南缘晚古生代的演化过程。本巴图组2个碎屑岩样品最小年龄为299Ma和296Ma,结合古生物化石研究,其形成时代应为晚石炭-早二叠世;三面井组2个碎屑岩样品的最小年龄为271Ma和272Ma,同样结合其古生物化石资料,判断其形成时代为早-中二叠世。锆石组成和岩相特征显示本巴图组和三面井组形成于不同的沉积背景之下。本巴图组的沉积相变化显示为一个海进序列,形成于弧后伸展背景之下;三面井组则与之相反,显示沉积环境由稳定变为活动,形成于汇聚背景之下。安山岩的喷出年龄为277±1.4Ma,有着高镁安山岩的属性,显示出俯冲背景下陆缘弧火山岩的特征。结合以往区域地质资料,我们认为晚古生代兴蒙造山带南缘的构造演化过程可分为五个阶段:(1)泥盆纪,碰撞后伸展阶段;(2)早石炭世,俯冲开始阶段;(3)晚石炭,俯冲不强烈、局部发生伸展作用阶段,以本巴图组和阿木山组的碎屑岩-碳酸盐组合为代表;(4)早中二叠世,俯冲加强阶段,发育三面井组和大量的陆缘弧火山岩,此时古亚洲洋仍然存在;(5)晚二叠世之后,碰撞结束、古亚洲洋消失阶段,区域开始出现大量A型花岗岩,整体进入造山后环境。     

Generation of calc-alkaline andesite of the Tatun volcanic group (Taiwan) within an extensional environment by crystal fractionation

The Pliocene–Pleistocene northern Taiwan volcanic zone (NTVZ) is located within a trench-arc–back-arc basin and oblique arc–continent collision zone. Consequently the origin and tectonic setting of the andesitic rocks within the NTVZ and their relation to other circum-Pacific volcanic island-arc systems is uncertain. Rocks collected from the Tatun volcanic group (TTVG) include basaltic to andesitic rocks. The basalt is compositionally similar to within-plate continental tholeiites whereas the basaltic andesite and andesite are calc-alkaline; however, all rocks show a distinct depletion of Nb-Ta in their normalized incompatible element diagrams. The Sr-Nd isotope compositions of the TTVG rocks are very similar and have a relatively restricted range (i.e. I_Sr = 0.70417–0.70488; εNd_(T) = +2.2 to +3.1), suggesting that they are derived directly or indirectly from the same mantle source. The basalts are likely derived by mixing between melts from the asthenosphere and a subduction-modified subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) source, whereas the basaltic andesites may be derived by partial melting of pyroxenitic lenses within the SCLM and mixing with asthenospheric melts. MELTS modelling using a starting composition equal to the most primitive basaltic andesite, shallow-pressure (i.e. ≤1 kbar), oxidizing conditions (i.e. FMQ +1), and near water saturation will produce compositions similar to the andesites observed in this study. Petrological modelling and the Sr-Nd isotope results indicate that the volcanic rocks from TTVG, including the spatially and temporally associated Kuanyinshan volcanic rocks, are derived from the same mantle source and that the andesites are the product of fractional crystallization of a parental magma similar in composition to the basaltic andesites. Furthermore, our results indicate that, in some cases, calc-alkaline andesites may be generated by crystal fractionation of mafic magmas derived in an extensional back-arc setting rather than a subduction zone setting.
