湖南九嶷山复式花岗岩体SHRIMP锆石定年及其地质意义

应用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb法获得九嶷山复式花岗岩中的主要岩体形成年龄为:雪花顶花岗岩(432±21)Ma、金鸡岭花岗岩(156±2)Ma、砂子岭花岗岩(157±1)Ma和西山火山-侵入杂岩(156±2)Ma。结果显示砂子岭岩体属燕山早期而非印支期;西山火山-侵入杂岩属燕山早期而非燕山晚期。花岗岩中继承锆石复杂,其形成时代为1579Ma、2108Ma和2669Ma,提供了九嶷山地区存在古-中元古代,甚至太古代基底的年龄信息。新元古代(912Ma)锆石的大量出现为扬子陆块和华夏陆块碰撞带通过本区的认识提供了一个间接证据。     

江南造山带九岭南缘宜丰岩组火山岩锆石SHRIMP年代学及Hf同位素特征

赣西北九岭南缘宜丰岩组是江南造山带的一个重要地层单元,但其沉积时限和区域地层对比关系尚不确定。本次1∶5万区调工作中,在万载—宜丰一带宜丰岩组地层中发现有呈夹层产出的变英安岩、变凝灰岩。SHRIMP锆石定年表明,变英安岩、变凝灰岩分别形成于835.0±7.8Ma和830.3±9.5Ma。结合宜丰岩组底部凝灰质砂岩最年轻的一组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄852.9±2.6Ma,认为宜丰岩组沉积时限为～853 Ma至～830Ma,表明宜丰岩组主体形成于新元古代早期。锆石Hf同位素显示,ε_Hf(t)变化范围较大,为-16.02～+12.04,总体以正值为主。最为接近亏损地幔成分的5个锆石颗粒的ε_Hf(t)变化范围为+9.65～+12.04,具有最年轻的Hf二阶段模式年龄0.95～1.09Ga,与成岩年龄差距不大,表明源区中可能有新生地壳物质的加入。野外沉积学研究表明,宜丰岩组浊流沉积构造发育,主体属于半深海大陆斜坡沉积。区域上,宜丰岩组与溪口岩群、双桥山群、冷家溪群、西村岩组、南桥岩组、苍溪岩组沉积时限基本相当,沉积环境相似,应明确为华南"晋宁运动"不整合面之下的一套弧后盆地环境产物。     

西秦岭西成矿集区郭家沟超大型铅锌矿床成矿地质特征与控矿因素

郭家沟铅锌矿床位于甘肃省西成矿集区东端,是近年来在西秦岭新发现的超大型矿床,也是寻找厂坝式矿床的重大突破。该矿床的矿体主要赋存于中泥盆统安家岔组生物灰岩、硅化-铁白云石化灰岩以及千枚岩中,明显受层间断裂带的控制。由于其新发现不久,该矿床控矿因素和成因认识尚不清楚。文章在系统成矿地质特征观察的基础上,将成矿期次划分为沉积成矿期和热液成矿期,其中,热液成矿期包括:石英-闪锌矿-方铅矿-铁白云石(菱铁矿)阶段(Ⅰ)、石英-方铅矿-闪锌矿-碳酸盐阶段(Ⅱ)和方解石-硫化物阶段(Ⅲ)。在综合分析该矿床成矿过程与控矿因素的基础上,认为成矿受压扭性逆冲断层相关的断裂构造系统和褶皱构造变形带控制,硅化和铁镁碳酸盐化与铅锌矿化密切伴生,表现出热液交代蚀变矿化为主的特征,矿脉穿切矿区内的花岗岩墙,推测成矿作用发生在三叠纪或者更晚,后生热液成矿作用造成了铅锌的巨量富集。     

大别-苏鲁造山带橄榄岩记录的碰撞造山过程中地幔楔的地壳交代作用

地壳交代作用是洋壳俯冲带板片-地幔界面的普遍现象,由于地幔楔样品的缺乏,其识别存在困难。而碰撞造山带广泛出露的地幔楔来源的造山带橄榄岩则是理想的研究对象。本文对大别-苏鲁造山带橄榄岩的已有研究成果进行了系统总结。这些成果表明这些橄榄岩在大洋俯冲向大陆碰撞转换的不同阶段经历了多期地壳来源流体的交代作用。地壳交代作用不仅改变了地幔楔橄榄岩的地球化学成分,而且导致了交代矿物的生长以及超镁铁质交代体的形成。这些交代体或作为同碰撞和碰撞后镁铁质火成岩的地幔源区,或将地壳组分传输到深部地幔,或释放流体交代大陆俯冲隧道中的俯冲陆壳。本文对地壳交代作用研究中存在的重要问题和解决思路提出了建议。     

Linking gold mineralization to regional-scale drivers of mineral systems using in situ U–Pb geochronology and pyrite LA-ICP-MS element mapping

Proterozoic orogens commonly host a range of hydrothermal ores that form in diverse tectonic settings at different times. However, the link between mineralization and the regional-scale tectonothermal evolution of orogens is usually not well understood, especially in areas subject to multiple hydrothermal events.Regional-scale drivers for mineral systems vary between the different classes of hydrothermal ore, but all involve an energy source and a fluid pathway to focus mineralizing fluids into the upper crust. The Mount Olympus gold deposit in the Proterozoic Capricorn Orogen of Western Australia, was regarded as an orogenic gold deposit that formed at ca. 1738 Ma during the assembly of Proterozoic Australia. However,the trace element chemistry of the pyrite crystals closely resembles those of the Carlin deposits of Nevada,with rims that display solid solution gold accompanied by elevated As, Cu, Sb, Hg, and Tl, surrounding gold-poor cores. New SHRIMP UeP b dating of xenotime intergrown with auriferous pyrite and ore-stage alteration minerals provided a weighted mean~(207) Pb*/~(206) Pb* date of 1769 ± 5 Ma, interpreted as the age of gold mineralization. This was followed by two discrete episodes of hydrothermal alteration at 1727 ± 7 Ma and 1673 ± 8 Ma. The three ages are linked to multiple reactivation of the crustal-scale Nanjilgardy Fault during repeated episodes of intracratonic reworking. The regional-scale drivers for Carlin-like gold mineralization at Mount Olympus are related to a change in tectonic regime during the final stages of the intracratonic 1820 -1770 Ma Capricorn Orogeny. Our results suggest that substantial sized Carlin-like gold deposits can form in an intracratonic setting during regional-scale crustal reworking.     

Granulites record the tectonic evolution from collisional thickening to extensional thinning of the Tongbai orogen in central China

A combined study of petrology and geochemistry was carried out for granulites from the Tongbai orogen in central China. The results reveal the tectonic evolution from collisional thickening to extensional thinning of the lithosphere at the convergent plate boundary. Petrographic observations, zircon U–Pb dating, and pseudosection calculations indicate that the granulites underwent four metamorphic stages, which are categorized into two cycles. The first cycle occurred at 490–450 Ma and involves high-P (HP) metamorphism (M1) at 785–815°C and 10–14 kbar followed by decompressional heating to 840–880°C and 8–9 kbar for medium-pressure granulite facies metamorphism (M2), defining a clockwise P–T path. The high pressure is indicated by the occurrence of inclusions of rutile+kyanite+K-feldspar in the garnet mantle. The second cycle occurred at c. 440 Ma and shows an anticlockwise P–T path with continuous heating to ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism (M3) at 890–980°C and 9–11 kbar, followed by decompressional cooling to 740–880°C and 7–9 kbar (M4) till 405 Ma. The HP metamorphism is synchronous with the ultrahigh-pressure eclogite facies metamorphism in the Qinling orogen, indicating its relevance to the continental collision in the Cambrian. The UHT metamorphism took place at reduced pressures, indicating thinning of the collision-thickened orogenic lithosphere. Therefore, the Tongbai orogen was initially thickened by the collisional orogeny and then thinned, possibly as a result of foundering of the orogenic root. Such tectonic evolution may be common in collisional orogens where compression during continental collision switched to extension during continental rifting.     

中国东南极地质考察20年进展与展望

在1998—2017年期间,我国组织了14次东南极地质考察,将考察的范围从中山站所在的拉斯曼丘陵向外扩展了约400 km,主要包括格罗夫山、埃默里冰架东缘-西南普里兹湾、北查尔斯王子山、布朗山、赖于尔群岛和西福尔丘陵等露岩区。通过大、中比例尺的地质编图和多学科综合研究,取得如下重要进展:(1)确定格罗夫山冰下高地为泛非期(~570—500 Ma)单相变质地体,发现镁铁质和泥质高压麻粒岩并刻画了泛非期造山的精细过程,为普里兹造山带的碰撞造山成因以及冈瓦纳超大陆的多陆块汇聚模型提供了岩石学支撑;(2)论证在印度克拉通与东南极陆块之间存在一个延长2 000 km的中元古代长寿命大陆岛弧,岛弧岩浆作用从~1 500 Ma一直持续到~1 000 Ma,提出雷纳造山带格林维尔期(~1 000—900 Ma)的构造演化可能经历了从弧陆碰撞到陆陆碰撞的过程;(3)在赖于尔群岛超高温变泥质岩中识别出早期蓝晶石的残留,确定了超高温变质作用顺时针演化的精细P-T轨迹;(4)在西福尔丘陵西南部基性岩墙群中发现了格林维尔期(~960—940 Ma)不均匀麻粒岩化,变质条件达820—870℃、0.84—0.97 GPa,认为西福尔陆块也卷入到印度克拉通与东南极陆块的碰撞造山过程;(5)在西福尔丘陵东南部浅变质冰川漂砾和松散砂中获得~3.5—3.3 Ga的古老锆石U-Pb年龄,推测在西福尔丘陵东南方向存在一个从前未知的古太古代冰下陆块。建议今后在东南极面向印度洋构造域的地质考察要进一步扩展到南查尔斯王子山、内皮尔杂岩和登曼冰川,研究工作的重点仍聚焦在南极大陆如何响应地质历史时期里超级大陆的聚散过程这一关键科学问题上,并可在以下几个方面展开:(1)太古宙古老地壳及陆核的识别与全球对比;(2)格林维尔期造山记录与罗迪尼亚超大陆汇聚;(3)泛非期造山记录与冈瓦纳超大陆汇聚;(4)显生宙冈瓦纳超大陆裂解及陆块分离。通过这些考察和研究工作,可以促使我国对南极地质科学的研究达到国际先进水平。
