The Orogeny in the Altaides

Studies of the deformation styles, formation types and isotopic age data indicate that the Altaides has successively experienced 5 stages of orogeny: (1) the Kanas orogeny forming the angular unconformity between the Baihaba Formation (O_3) and the Habahe Group (Z-O_2); (2) the Daqiao orogeny (S_3-D_(1-2) giving rise to the early Hercynian quasi-aulacogen extensional continental crust of the area; (3) the Altay orogeny (middle-late Hercynian) leading to the oblique intracontinentai collision and the formation of large shear arc-shaped thrust system and representing a strong orogeny stage; (4) the pan-Altay orogeny (latest Hercynian-Indosinian) resulting in the uplifting and erosion of the mountains as a whole; (5) the Himalayan movement causing the rejuvenation of fault systems and block uplift of the Aitaides since the Cenozoic.     

The PTst Evolution of Metamorphism and Development Mechanism of the Thermal - Structural - Gneiss Domes in the Chinese Altaides1

Abstract A series of thermal-structural-gneiss domes (briefly TSG domes) are developed in the Chinese Altaides. Sericite-chlorite zone, biotite zone, garnet zone, staurolite zone, kyanite (andalusite) zone, sillimanite - cordierite (sillimanite - garnet) zone, migmatite zone and migmatic granite - gneiss field are developed from the low-grade metamorphic area to the centre of the TSG domes. The succession of the formation and evolution of the progressive metamorphic zone, migmatite zone and migmatic granite-gneiss corresponds to the spatial sequence from the outer part to the centre of the TSG domes. The peak temperature of the metamorphism and granitization increases progressively from 400 °C to 800 °C while the pressure decreases progressively from 1.05 GPa to 0.10 GPa from the biotite zone to the migmatic granite-gneiss field. The metamorphism of the orogenic belt may be described by the pressure-temperature-space-time model (PTst). In the main episode of orogeny, the deep heat flow and structural flow upsurged along a series of the centres of the regional thermodynamic anomalies, giving rise to the progressive metamorphism, granitization, and the differential uplift and the formation of TSG domes.     

新疆阿尔泰造山带低压变质作用相平衡研究

通过对阿尔泰造山带低压型变质序列中典型泥质岩石进行详细的岩相学及相平衡研究,获得黑云母带变质作用的温度为445～550℃和压力为0.2～0.6 GPa;石榴石带为480～566℃、0.54±0.22 GPa;十字石带601±20℃、0.8±0.25GPa;十字石-红柱石带540±20℃、0.32±0.05 GPa,而632.4℃、0.785 GPa这个值不是红柱石的稳定范围,这可能是其早期中压变质作用条件;矽线石带为640℃、0.43 GPa左右,由于石榴石中有蓝晶石包体,因此其早期也可能经历中压条件的变质;堇青石-矽线石带740～800℃、0.4～0.7 GPa。阿尔泰造山带低压变质序列不是一个正常的变质序列,其野外变质梯度呈现“Z”字型特征。阿尔泰造山带低压变质作用可能形成于早期中压变质岩的挤压抬升和以此相关的大量花岗岩侵入的构造环境中。     

阿尔泰造山带的构造运动

变形式样、建造类型及同位素年代学数据研究表明,阿尔泰造山带依次经历了5期构造运动,即:喀纳斯运动,形成白哈巴组(O_3)与哈巴河群(Z—O_2)间的角度不整合;大桥运动(S_3—D_(1—2)),形成海西早期类拗拉谷拉张陆壳区;阿尔泰运动(海西中晚期)导致陆内斜向碰撞并形成大型剪切弧型推覆构造系,为强烈造山阶段;泛阿尔泰运动(海西末至印支期)导致山脉整体隆起及剥蚀;喜马拉雅运动,导致新生代以来造山带各断裂系的复活及断块隆起。

成矿环境中的高密度碳质流体:以阿尔泰南缘为例

碳质流体(CO2-CH4-N2体系流体)常见于地幔橄榄岩和下地壳麻粒岩中。近期研究表明,阿尔泰南缘晚古生代成矿环境中的碳质流体极为丰富,不仅在造山型金矿中赋存大量与成矿有关的碳质流体,而且在VMS型矿床中也存在同造山期的变质碳质流体。由共生的富CO2包裹体(LCO2-LH2O型)和H2O-CO2包裹体(LH2O-LCO2型)的均一温度推测,造山型金矿的碳质流体捕获温度大于254～394.5℃,压力大于150～320MPa;VMS矿床的变质碳质流体捕获温度大于209～430℃,压力大于180～300MPa,两者具相似的捕获温度压力条件。碳质流体的捕获温度压力条件与变质相带相平衡计算的变质温度、压力范围相当。碳质流体源于区域变质作用,并参与了与造山型金矿有关的构造-变质-流体-成矿作用和对VMS型矿床的变质改造作用。

壳内熔融与大陆造山——中山大学地质学系成立90周年暨陈国达院士诞辰102周年纪念

本文将造山作用分为地槽褶皱造山和地台(克拉通)活化造山两种类型,并认为两者均起因于板块的汇聚过程。地槽造山是洋壳向陆壳的转换过程,其标志是地槽沉积物初次熔融形成的、以TTG为主的"不成熟花岗岩"产生。板块俯冲过程的能量转换,导致大陆岩石圈内能升高,包括TTG在内的基底地槽构造层的再次熔融(重熔),产生再生或重熔岩浆形成活化造山期的"成熟花岗岩";壳内重熔岩浆层形成和增厚最终导致大陆克拉通发生大规模压缩变形(活化造山)。造山作用的多幕性和花岗岩活动多期性,以及上老下新的花岗岩"层序",被认为主要与板块俯冲过程的能量转换速度有关。     

论造山作用和造山带

造山作用和造山带是地学界广泛使用的名词,但不同学者对它们的理解不尽一致,特别是在与成山作用和山脉的关系上出现混淆现象。造山作用,造山带和成山作用,山脉是两组既有联系又有区别的概念,后者是自然地理名词,前者是构造名词,而且限于挤压作用所形成的构造现象和过程。根据这种理解,笔者将造山带划分为俯冲－碰撞造山带,断裂造山带,推覆造山带,断块造山带,增生造生和转换造山６种类型。     

造山过程中的流体—岩石相互作用和质量传输的评述

在汇聚板块边缘,滑脱面的滑动和沉积岩系的逆冲堆叠,导致孔隙水被压实排出,流体润滑了脱面,从而引起增生楔的生长。流体对流体制是地壳深熔的先驱事件。碱性花岗岩在次固相下有丰富的岩浆水的出溶,并且促进了碱性长石的微组构重组织。上部地壳浅表流体的循环主要受岩浆侵位驱动。韧性剪切带Ｔｉ、Ｆｅ、Ｍｇ残留富集,Ｓｉ、Ｃａ、Ｓｒ带出,流体不混溶和相分离是Ａｕ沉淀的重要机制。断层带尤其深部断层带具有高的流体／岩石比

造山作用概念和分类

本文从造山作用的特征标志出发讨论了Sengor造山带定义的缺陷， 总结了造山作用的六条特征标志，并给出了造山作用新的定义。该定义包括了造山作用的起因、特征标志和大地构造背景。评述了造山带陆内、陆缘、陆间三分法方案的不足之处和剪压造山带的单独设类问题，提出了造山带板内、俯冲、碰撞三分方案。针对碰撞造山带，笔者在总结探讨现有分类方案的优点的基础上， 提出碰撞造山带陆陆碰撞、碰撞增生、弧陆碰撞和无大陆型碰撞造山带四分法方案，其中无大陆型碰撞造山带是描述陆壳物质形成初期计体拼合聚合过程的新类型。     

华北地台东缘的印支运动烙印--来自大连地区的构造形变信息

大连地区是稳定地台发生强烈变形的典型代表.研究表明,自中生代以来该区受多期较强烈构造变形事件的影响,强烈的改造、叠加造成该区复杂的地壳构造面貌,其中NS向剪切变形是区内规模最大、影响范围最广的构造变形,形成大规模EW走向巨型平卧、同斜倒转褶皱,造成大范围地层倒转.本文以变形构造动力学为纲,通过详细的地质调查及构造解析,对大连地区的NS向剪切变形进行了系统研究,确定其变形时间为晚印支期,认为晚印支运动是大连地区褶皱构造格架的奠基构造事件,这种大规模的板内变形是扬子板块和中朝板块陆-陆碰撞的陆内变形效应.     

The Yanshanian Orogeny and Two Kinds of Yanshanides in Eastern-Central China

The Tan-Lu Fault was once a transform fault in the Paleotethys, west of which was the Qinling-Dabie Ocean separating the Yangtze Craton from the North China Craton, and east of which was the Su-Lu Ocean separating the Su-Wan Block from the Jiao-Liao Craton. The Qinling-Dabie Ocean closed in the Indosinian orogeny, which created the China-Southeast Asia Subcontinent, with the Tan-Lu Fault becoming a marginal shear zone along the newly-formed amalgamated subcontinent. The Su-Lu Ocean subducted partly in the Indosinian.orogeny, but not closed. In the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, the Su-Wan Block drifted northwards with subduction of the Su-Lu Ocean and moved westwards to converge the subcontinent by sinistral sheafing of the ENE-striking fractures. The Su-Lu Ocean finally closed and the Su-Wan Block collided with the Jiao-Liao Craton in the Early Cretaceous, which constituted a part of the magnificent interplate Yanshanides. The interplate orogeny rejuvenated the fossil sutures and deep fractures, as well as the Indosinian orogen, and the intraplate （intracontinental） Yanshanian orogeny occurred in the subcontinent. The East Asia Yanshanides, consisting of the interplate orogens in the outer side and the intraplate orogens in the inner side, collapsed quickly in the latest Early Cretaceous and Late Cretaceous. The eastern China area entered a tensile period from the Eogene, and the tectonic differentiation between the central and eastern China areas since the Jurassic was further strengthened.     

中生代盆地演化及其对大别造山带碰撞造山的指示意义

The Dabie orogenic belt underwent deep subduc-tion of continent, rapid exhumation, and huge amount of erosion during the Mesozoic. Its tectonic evolution, especially how that was recorded in sedimentary ba-sins at the flanks of the Dabie orogenic belt is one of the most important issues. The overall distribution of different basin types in the orogenic belt indicates that shortening and thrusting at the margins of the orogenic belt from the Late Triassic to the Early Cretaceous controlled the foreland basins, and extension, doming and rifting were initiated in the core of the orogenic belt from the Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous, and were expanded to the whole orogenic belt after the Late Cretaceous.     

大巴山晚中生代陆内造山构造应力场

位于中上扬子板块北缘的大巴山造山带, 平面上表现为大尺度向南西显著突出的弧形带, 无论在变形样式和形成时间上都明显与秦岭造山带不同。在大巴山构造格架划分和野外构造变形观测基础上, 通过构造解析, 结合年代学研究成果, 重建了大巴山晚中生代独特的构造应力场, 指出大巴山属陆内造山, 形成于J2末, 并持续到K2初期。其构造应力场特征, 以城口－房县断裂为界, 大巴山逆冲推覆带与其前陆冲断褶皱带的特征显著不同。大巴山逆冲推覆带主要表现为NE-SW向构造挤压, 而在大巴山弧形前陆带从西向东, 由近E-W向挤压, 转变为NE-SW向挤压, 最后转变为近S-N向挤压, 构成一向其外缘扩散的放射状构造应力场。总之, 大巴山造山带由推覆体向前陆, 构造挤压作用由北东向南西方向扩散。这期构造挤压作用控制了大巴山造山带陆内变形活动, 导致大巴山由北东向南西的显著缩短, 同时受到其东西两侧基底隆起——神农架－黄陵地块与汉南地块的强烈阻挡, 造就了现今的大巴山前陆弧型构造。其动力学背景可归因于晚中生代东亚板块多向汇聚。大巴山晚中生代陆内造山构造应力场的研究, 对探讨秦岭造山带动力学特征具有科学意义, 为研究川东北油气运聚规律提供了构造地质学依据。     

Orogeny, migmatites and leucogranites: A review

The type ofP-T-t path and availability of fluid (H₂O-rich metamorphic volatile phase or melt) are important variables in metamorphism. Collisional orogens are characterized by clockwiseP-T evolution, which means that in the core, where temperatures exceed the wet solidus for common crustal rocks, melt may be present throughout a significant portion of the evolution. Field observations of eroded orogens show that lower crust is migmatitic, and geophysical observations have been interpreted to suggest the presence of melt in active orogens. A consequence of these results is that orogenic collapse in mature orogens may be controlled by a partially-molten layer that decouples weak crust from subducting lithosphere, and such a weak layer may enable exhumation of deeply buried crust. Migmatites provide a record of melt segregation in partially molten crustal materials and syn-anatectic deformation under natural conditions. Grain boundary flow and intra-and inter-grain fracture flow are the principal grain scale melt flow mechanisms. Field observations of migmatites in ancient orogens show that leucosomes occur oriented in the metamorphic fabrics or are located in dilational sites. These observations are interpreted to suggest that melt segregation and extraction are syntectonic processes, and that melt migration pathways commonly relate to rock fabrics and structures. Thus, leucosomes in depleted migmatites record the remnant permeability network, but evolution of permeability networks and amplification of anomalies are poorly understood. Deformation of partially molten rocks is accommodated by melt-enhanced granular flow, and volumetric strain is accommodated by melt loss. Melt segregation and extraction may be cyclic or continuous, depending on the level of applied differential stress and rate of melt pressure buildup. During clockwiseP-T evolution, H₂O is transferred from protolith to melt as rocks cross dehydration melting reactions, and H₂O may be evolved above the solidus at lowP by crossing supra-solidus decompression-dehydration reactions if micas are still present in the depleted protolith. H₂O dissolved in melt is transported through the crust to be exsolved on crystallization. This recycled H₂O may promote wet melting at supra-solidus conditions and retrogression at subsolidus conditions. The common growth of ‘late’ muscovite over sillimanite in migmatite may be the result of this process, and influx of exogenous H₂O may not be necessary. However, in general, metasomatism in the evolution of the crust remains a contentious issue. Processes in the lower-most crust may be inferred from studies of xenolith suites brought to the surface in lavas. Based on geochemical data, we can use statistical methods and modeling to evaluate whether migmatites are sources or feeder zones for granites, or simply segregated melt that was stagnant in residue, and to compare xenoliths of inferred lower crust with exposed deep crust. Upper-crustal granites are a necessary complement to melt-depleted granulites common in the lower crust, but the role of mafic magma in crustal melting remains uncertain. Plutons occur at various depths above and below the brittle-to-viscous transition in the crust and have a variety of 3-D shapes that may vary systematically with depth. The switch from ascent to emplacement may be caused by amplification of instabilities within (permeability, magma flow rate) or surrounding (strength or state of stress) the ascent column, or by the ascending magma intersecting some discontinuity in the crust that enables horizontal magma emplacement followed by thickening during pluton inflation. Feedback relations between rates of pluton filling, magma ascent and melt extraction maintain compatibility among these processes.     

滨里海盆地东缘盐构造特征及其与乌拉尔造山运动关系

通过对滨里海盆地东缘地震剖面的解释,揭示了丰富多样的盐构造变形特征及其与乌拉尔造山运动的关系。滨里海 盆地东缘盐构造变形样式主要包括盐底辟、盐枕、盐滚、盐焊接、龟背构造和盐边凹陷等,表现出明显的分带变形特征, 自东向西依次为盐焊接带、盐滚带、盐枕带、盐底辟带。盐层控制了盐上层和盐下层的构造变形,以盐层为界,上构造层 主要发育正断层,下构造层主要发育逆断层。平衡剖面分析表明,滨里海盆地东缘盐构造变形主要经历了重力变形和差异 负载变形两个阶段,并与乌拉尔造山运动有紧密联系。乌拉尔造山运动引起滨里海盆地东缘地层发生倾向反转,进而控制 了盐层沉积及随后的重力变形和差异负载变形过程。     

Las Matras Block, Central Argentina (37°S-67°W): the Southernmost Cuyania Terrane and its Relationship with the Famatinian Orogeny

The Las Matras Block in Central Argentina constitutes the southernmost part of the Cuyania terrane, which was accreted to the southwestern margin of Gondwana during the Early to Mid Ordovician Famatinian orogeny. The Grenville-aged rocks of the Las Matras Block are represented by the tonalitic to trondhjemitic Las Matras pluton. A new U-Pb conventional zircon age of 1244±42 Ma confirms previous Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr isochron ages of this pluton. Mineral composition data are consistent with the tonalitic-trondhjemitic character of the pluton, and constrain its emplacement level to 1.9 to 2.6 kb. This shallow level of emplacement and the undeformed character of the pluton are distinctive features of this southernmost basement. A regional comparison indicates that the igneous-metamorphic evolution of the Grenville-aged basement rocks of the Cuyania terrane occurred over a period of more than 200 million years, with ages older than 1200 Ma up to those close to 1000 Ma. The shallowest crustal level is found in Las Matras, suggesting a southward shallowing of the exposed level of basement. The deformation and metamorphism associated with the collisional Famatinian orogeny affect both the Cuyania terrane and the adjacent western margin of Gondwana, and the Gondwana margin was also the locus of the related arc magmatism, but the compressive effects of the collision decrease in intensity toward the south. The Famatinian metamorphism and magmatism continue even further south into the Patagonia region, but the southern continuity of the Cuyania terrane into this region remains uncertain.
