下地壳麻粒岩包体研究进展及其意义

产于火山岩中的下地壳麻粒岩包体是人们窥视深部地壳的一个窗口 ,现已成为人们探索大陆下地壳物质组成和演化最直接的研究对象。下地壳岩石包体一般具有麻粒岩相矿物组合 ,主体由镁铁质麻粒岩组成 ,以出现紫苏辉石矿物为标志 ,下地壳包体的平衡温度为 70 0～10 4 0℃ ,平衡压力在 0 .8～ 1.4GPa之间。在绝大多数地区 ,基性下地壳包体占优势 ,其共同特征是低SiO2 、高CaO和Mg# ,过渡族元素和不相容元素含量变化很大 ,不同构造背景和不同岩石类型的包体同位素成分也有差异 ,全球各大陆下地壳包体Nd、Pb同位素组成分布具有“块体效应”特征。利用出露于地表的下地壳麻粒岩包体可以探讨下地壳物质组成和成分 ,建立下地壳物性剖面和岩石圈模型 ,并可作为幔源岩浆底侵作用的重要判据之一。世界范围内下地壳麻粒岩包体研究表明 ,在探讨下地壳的组成特点上 ,由火山岩中麻粒岩包体和出露的麻粒岩地体两类岩石样品所获得的下地壳组成特点存在比较大的差异 ,前者较后者反映的下地壳组成更偏基性。下地壳包体的类型与成因对揭示大陆地壳的增生、演化方式以及壳—幔交换作用具有重要的指示意义

Some New Progresses and Geological significance in Studying Continental Lower Crust Granulite Xenoliths

Granulite xenoliths entrained by volcanos are found all over the word, and this kind of xenoliths are thought to be an ideal samples for understanding the nature of present lower crust. This paper gives a brief summarization on the petrology, P-T conditions, major and trace element geochemistry, isotopic composition, geophysical character of lower crust granulite xenoliths. These xenoliths are some precious samples for building the composition and texture model of the lithosphere, understanding the condition of physical chemistry and the deep geological processes and studying mantle-source magma underplating under the lower crust. The studying on the global lower crust granulite xenoliths indicates: the chemical compositions of the low crust attained from granulite xenoliths are more basic than that of terrain granulites. The type and formation of lower crust xenoliths have an important implication in disclosing accretion and evolution of continental crust and crust-mantle interaction.
