金红石和榍石Zr温度计在新疆西南天山榴辉岩中的应用

应用LA-ICP-MS方法对新疆西南天山高压-超高压变质带中的榴辉岩及其高压脉体中的金红石和榍石进行了Zr含量的检测和Zr温度计的计算。榴辉岩中位于石榴石幔部且与绿辉石共生的金红石包体Zr含量都集中于10~20μg/g;而基质金红石的Zr含量为30~50μg/g,高于包体金红石。榍石均为金红石退变质的产物,且各样品间的榍石Zr含量较均一,都集中在3~5μg/g之间。脉体金红石Zr含量则与榴辉岩中基质金红石的Zr含量相当甚至偏高一些,为30~60μg/g。金红石和榍石的Zr温度计研究也表明,榴辉岩石榴石中的金红石包体生长于压力峰期阶段,温压条件为480~540℃、2.7~3.0 GPa;基质金红石随温度增加达到退变质再平衡,记录了温度峰期的条件,约530~590℃、2.4~2.7 GPa;榴辉岩中高压脉体中的金红石则生长于退变质榴辉岩相阶段,金红石Zr温度计给出结果为540~580℃、1.5~2.1 GPa,记录了近等温降压的过程;榴辉岩中的榍石在1.0 GPa左右达到平衡,榍石Zr温度计给出的温度为540~560℃,记录了进一步的近等温降压的过程。根据以上4个阶段的分析结果,得出一个较完整的顺时针p-T轨迹,且与相平衡模拟所限定的p-T轨迹相一致。金红石的Zr含量可以作为压力的指示,表明压力校正在金红石Zr温度计中起到了重要作用。在对金红石和榍石Zr温度计进行应用时,要结合细致的岩相学观察,综合考虑压力、活度、扩散速率、退变质作用和流体影响等方面的因素,才能得到比较精确的温压估算结果和pT轨迹。     

大别造山带黄镇榴辉岩矿物不同类型地质温度计应用和对比

常用于测定榴辉岩形成温度的有石榴石-绿辉石Fe-Mg配分温度计和石英-矿物对氧同位素温度计。最近的自然观察和实验测定发现，金红石中的Zr含量与温度之间存在线性关系，因此能够用于变质岩测温。本文首次将这三种温度计用于同一产地榴辉岩及其中的石英脉。对大别造山带黄镇低温超高压榴辉岩中金红石Zr含量的温度计算得到，产于矿物内部金红石Zr含量温度明显地高于粒间金红石Zr含量温度，产于矿物石榴石、绿辉石和黝帘石内部金红石Zr含量温度主要集中在528～589℃之间，而产于粒间金红石的温度主要集中在465～528℃之间。榴辉岩中金红石Zr含量最高的产于石榴石中，但是所计算的温度503～589℃仍然不同程度地低于榴辉岩形成温度670℃。石英脉中金红石Zr含量温度主要集中在465～528℃之间。石英-耐熔矿物对氧同位素温度主要集中在650～695℃之间，表明耐熔矿物石榴石、锆石和蓝晶石在该区榴辉岩中相对其它矿物来说保存最好，退变质作用最弱，因此其氧同位素温度与峰期超高压榴辉岩相变质奈件基本一致。而石英．易熔矿物对温度主要集中在450～510℃之间，与易熔矿物绿辉石、钠云母、斜黝帘石／黝帘石在榴辉岩中蚀变强烈一致，反映了角闪岩相退变质阶段的流体活动。石榴石-单斜辉石Fe-Mg配分温度结果分为三组：795～863℃、629～679℃和468～572℃，其中后两组与金红石Zr含量和石英-矿物对氧同位素测温结果具有可比较性，指示了榴辉岩相变质和角闪岩相退变质过程中的Fe-Mg交换平衡，而第一组温度明显高于已知的榴辉岩相变质温度，表明绿辉石后成合晶导致了部分石榴石与单斜辉石之间的Fe-Mg不平衡。榴辉岩折返过程中的流体活动可能是导致矿物之间元素和同位素扩散交换再平衡或不平衡的基本原因。粒内金红石Zr含量温度仍然不同程度地低于榴辉岩形成温度，可能说明其在进变质过程中形成后相对“孤立”，即使在峰期榴辉岩相条件下也不能与锆石之间达到Zr配分再平衡。粒间金红石Zr含量降低可能与金红石重结晶有关，结果导致它们与锆石之间的Zr配分平衡遭到破坏。     

金红石Zr和锆石Ti含量地质温度计

作为近年来新提出的两种单矿物微量元素温度计(金红石Zr含量温度计和锆石Ti含量温度计),由于其简单实用,一经提出便引起了广泛注意,许多研究者尝试将温度计应用于各种不同类型的岩石中。到目前为止每种温度计都存在几个不同的计算公式、这些公式的适用范围和适用的地质情况目前已有统一认识,但是对于所测定温度的地质意义还存在争议。在对变质岩中金红石Zr含量温度计的应用研究中,一部分研究者发现这个温度计所得到的温度与造岩矿物阳离子配分温度计相吻合,因此可以指示峰期变质温度。然而,在对大别-苏鲁造山带超高压变质岩的研究中发现,金红石Zr含量温度计得到的温度比峰期变质温度明显偏低。通过对比国内外的研究分析,认识到不仅压力、活度、元素扩散、流体作用的参与导致的退变反应可能致使微量元素温度计所记录的温度偏低,而且矿物的不同生长世代或生长介质的不同都可能致使微量元素温度偏低。因此,在应用地质温度计时,要结合样品的岩相学、矿物包裹体和微量元素、U-Pb体系定年等方面予以综合考虑,并对矿物的形成环境和形成世代加以限定,从而为合理解释矿物中微量元素的分配及其记录的温度信息提供有效制约。     

CCSD主孔榴辉岩中金红石微量元素特征：LA-ICPMS分析及其意义

对中国大陆科学钻探（CCSD）主孔200~1005m范围内8件榴辉岩样品的金红石进行了LA-ICPMS原位微区微量元素分析,结合前人已发表的全岩和金红石分析数据,研究结果发现：在不同类型榴辉岩中,金红石的微量元素与其全岩成分具有不同的相关关系。金红石中的Nb和Ta元素含量不同程度地受控于全岩Nb和Ta含量。在高钛和低镁钛榴辉岩中,金红石的Cr与全岩Cr/TiO₂正相关;在富镁榴辉岩中,金红石的Cr含量受全岩MgO含量的控制;在高钛和富镁榴辉岩中,全岩成分明显影响着金红石的Zr含量,金红石Zr温度计可能不适用。低镁钛榴辉岩的金红石的平衡温度普遍低于榴辉岩峰期变质温度,可能是变质流体参与下的扩散作用和退变质作用所致;多数情况下,单个样品中大部分金红石颗粒的Zr含量是均匀的,金红石Zr温度计所给出的温度可能代表着退变质再平衡的温度;CCSD榴辉岩的全岩Nb/Ta比值普遍低于其中金红石的Nb/Ta比值,不支持金红石榴辉岩可能是地球上超球粒陨石Nb/Ta比值储库的观点。     

俄罗斯白海地区太古代榴辉岩的金红石Zr温度计应用及其地质意义

金红石Zr温度计在研究高级变质岩的热演化过程中可以发挥重要的作用。而电子探针显微分析技术得益于其较小的分析束斑(直径1~2μm)和适中的轰击能量,通过合理的实验条件设定和仪器参数设置,是对薄片中金红石Zr含量进行原位分析的理想实验手段。本文中,我们对俄罗斯白海地区的太古代榴辉岩-退变榴辉岩中的金红石Zr含量进行了电子探针原位分析,并进行了金红石Zr温度计计算。结果表明,其中石榴子石包裹体类型(产状1)金红石的Zr含量比较稳定,主要集中在400×10~(-6)~500×10~(-6)范围,个别金红石颗粒中的Zr含量可以达到1000×10~(-6);而基质后成合晶中(产状2)金红石的Zr含量的波动范围则相对更广一些(200×10~(-6)~1000×10~(-6)),这可能与后期退变过程中的Zr重置和/或扩散有关。总体上,不同产状金红石的Zr温度计计算结果都给出了两个主要的温度区间:T1=700~750℃和T2=800~850℃。结合前人对白海榴辉岩变质温压条件的研究以及金红石Zr体系封闭温度的控制,我们认为金红石Zr温度计的计算结果区间T1更有可能代表的是榴辉岩的退变冷却温度,而温度区间T2则反映的是榴辉岩在抬升过程中受到高温麻粒岩相变质作用阶段的温度峰期条件。     

中国大陆科学钻探工程主孔榴辉岩中金红石微量元素地球化学特征

本文利用电子探针分析了中国大陆科学钻探工程主孔各种类型榴辉岩中金红石的Nb、Cr和Zr含量。Zack等(2002)的金红石Nb-Cr图解表明榴辉岩的原岩均为镁铁质岩,但不同类型榴辉岩具有不同的地球化学特征,即:1金红石榴辉岩、石英榴辉岩、角闪岩和钛铁矿榴辉岩中金红石的Nb和Cr含量大致相同,主孔中上述榴辉岩中金红石的Nb、Cr含量与区域上小焦金红石矿区金红石榴辉岩中金红石的Nb、Cr含量基本相同。总体来讲,区域和主孔榴辉岩中金红石以低Nb为特征,反映它们的原岩为镁铁质岩石。2蓝晶石多硅白云母榴辉岩中金红石具最高的Nb和Cr含量,其Nb和Cr均值分别为720×10-6和712×10-6,多硅白云母榴辉岩中金红石比金红石榴辉岩、石英榴辉岩、角闪岩和钛铁矿榴辉岩中金红石富集Cr。利用Zack等(2004)提出的金红石地质温度计,计算得出金红石榴辉岩的金红石形成温度介于608~746℃,石英榴辉岩的金红石温度介于629~680℃,钛铁矿榴辉岩金红石的形成温度介于629~704℃,蓝晶石多硅白云母榴辉岩的金红石形成温度为600℃,角闪岩的金红石形成温度为629℃。一种可能的解释是,榴辉岩在折返过程中退变质作用明显,流体活动强烈,导致金红石中Zr扩散丢失,金红石中Zr含量不同程度地受到角闪岩相退变质过程中再平衡作用的影响,致使计算的温度偏低。     

苏北榴辉岩中金红石的微量元素地球化学特征

本文利用电子探针分析了苏北地区三类榴辉岩中金红石的Nb、Cr和Zr含量，在Zaek et al．（2002）的金红石Nb-Cr图解中，三类榴辉岩的原岩均为镁铁质岩，但它们具有不同的地球化学特征，即（1）小焦G类金红石榴辉岩中金红石的Nb含量最低，平均值为68ppm，而其它两类榴辉岩中金红石的Nb含量较高，平均值介于192～255ppm；（2）蓝晶石榴辉岩具有极高Cr含量，均值6106ppm，而许沟P类榴辉岩中金红石的Cr含量也较高，均值1233ppm，金红石榴辉岩中金红石Cr含量最低，均值为183ppm。利用Zaek et al．（2004）提出的金红石地质温度计，计算得出许沟P类榴辉岩的金红石形成温度介于600～751℃，平均温度689℃；演马厂M类榴辉岩的金红石温度介于507～641℃，平均温度557℃；小焦G类金红石榴辉岩金红石的形成温度介于541～673℃，平均温度613℃；新扬昌G类蓝晶石榴辉岩的金红石形成温度介于541～655℃，平均温度603℃。一种可能的解释是，榴辉岩在拆返过程中退变质作用明显，流体活动强烈，导致金红石中Zr扩散丢失，金红石中Zr含量不同程度地受到角闪岩相退变质过程中再平衡作用的影响，致使计算的温度偏低。     

滇西澜沧黑河地区超高压变质岩中金红石微量元素特征

为研究黑河地区金红石微量元素特征及榴辉岩型金红石矿床的成矿地质条件,本文选取滇西澜沧黑河地区榴辉岩、石榴多硅白云母片岩中的金红石进行LA-ICP-MS微量元素分析。结果表明金红石微量元素呈现阶梯式三级分布特征,最富集Nb、Ta,其次是Zr、Hf,含量较少的元素有Ba、Rb、Sr、Th、REE;榴辉岩、榴闪岩类原岩属于变质基性岩类,含蓝晶石榴闪岩原岩属于玄武质凝灰岩类,石榴多硅白云母片岩类原岩属于泥质岩类;榴辉岩中金红石Nb/Ta比值均要高于其全岩Nb/Ta比值,金红石Nb、Ta含量与变质作用过程中元素在各矿物间的分配系数有关;采用金红石Zr含量温度计获得黑河地区榴辉岩的峰期变质阶段金红石形成温度为578～605℃,峰期变质作用后的退变质流体会造成金红石中Zr的再平衡。此外,黑河地区具备榴辉岩型金红石矿床形成的成矿物源、成矿作用的物理化学条件以及成矿的物质基础,有一定的找矿潜力。     

青海柴北缘UHP变质带铁石观西榴辉岩峰期温度的确定及其地质意义

青海铁石观西发现大量的榴辉岩,鱼卡超高压变质带向东南延伸了40km。对铁石观西榴辉岩从地质特征、岩相学、矿物学等进行研究,岩相学显示其为典型的退变榴辉岩,保留有超高压变质峰期矿物组合(石榴子石+绿辉石+多硅白云母+金红石)。运用矿物温度计对铁石观西超高压变质峰期温度进行测量,得出温度范围为694~791℃,压力范围为2.5~2.6GPa。石榴子石环带显示,核部到边部温度升高,核部到幔部压力逐步升高,幔部到边部压力降低,表明榴辉岩经历了快速俯冲和折返速度缓慢的动力学过程。     

大别山金河桥榴辉岩矿物O—Nd—Pb同位素体系及其对扩散速率的制约

对大别山太湖金河桥超高压榴辉岩作了矿物Sm-Nd内部等时线定年研究和激光氧同位素分析。石榴石+绿辉石Sm-Nd等时线给出了较低年龄210±3Ma,石榴石+金红石Sm-Nd等时线给出了较高年龄237±4Ma。岩相学观察发现,绿辉石具有角闪石退变质边。氧同位素分析表明,石榴石与绿辉石之间的氧同位素体系处于不平衡状态。据此,石榴石+绿辉石Sm-Nd同位素体系因退变质作用导致Nd同位素不平衡而给出不合理偏低年龄。较老的石榴石+金红石Sm-Nd年龄有可能指示了榴辉岩相前期阶段的时代,且在温度变质峰期没有使它们之间的Nd同位素再次均一化,它指示Nd在金红石中的扩散速率较慢,可能与石榴石相当。矿物对氧同位素测温得到,石英—石榴石对温度为695±35℃,石英—金红石对为460±15℃,与根据金红石U—Pb内部等时线估计的Pb扩散封闭温度470±50℃一致。对比表明,O在石榴石中的扩散速率与Nd相当或略低,而O和Pb在金红石中的扩散速率相近,且均比Nd快。     

超高压榴辉岩金红石中高场强元素变化的控制因素及其地球动力学意义

利用LA-ICP-MS对CCSD-MH超高压榴辉岩中金红石进行了详细的原位微区微量元素组成分析.金红石中高场强元素Nb和Ta含量主要受全岩Nb、Ta和TiO₂含量控制, Zr、Hf含量比较稳定基本不受全岩含量影响.粒间金红石中, 同一颗粒金红石核部Zr含量系统高于边部, 而边部则出现了明显的Pb和Sr富集特征.CCSD-MH榴辉岩中金红石与全岩的Nb/Ta比值呈现明显的不一致性.全岩Nb/Ta比值明显低于金红石且与全岩TiO₂含量负相关, 而金红石的Nb/Ta比值与全岩Nb、Ta含量和Nb/Ta比值没有明显的相关关系.金红石和全岩之间非完全耦合的Nb/Ta组成表明, 金红石并非形成于原岩的结晶过程中而是在超高压变质作用过程中形成, 尽管金红石是榴辉岩中Nb、Ta含量的主要载体矿物, 但金红石的Nb/Ta比值并不一定能完全代表全岩的特征, 而与全岩Nb、Ta和TiO₂的含量有关.粒间金红石核部Zr含量所记录的温度与粒径之间具有明显的正相关性, 反映金红石中的Zr在其形成后没有封闭.粒间金红石所表现出的明显的边部富集Pb和Sr的特征, 反映了后期流体活动对金红石组成的影响.这些研究结果为金红石中Zr在高温下的扩散作用和后期流体活动的影响提供了重要证据, 这可能是利用金红石Zr含量地质温度计计算的苏鲁-大别榴辉岩变质温度(598~827℃) 偏低的主要原因.      

Zr-in-rutile thermometry of eclogite in the Dabie orogen: Constraints on rutile growth during continental subduction-zone metamorphism

The Zr content of rutile was analysed by both EMP and LA-ICPMS for low-T/UHP eclogite and enclosed kyanite–quartz veins in the Dabie orogen, China. Zr-in-rutile temperatures were calculated at different pressures and then compared with temperatures derived from Ti-in-zircon, mineral-reaction, quartz–mineral O-isotope and garnet–clinopyroxene Fe–Mg exchange thermometers. All thermometric data are interpreted within the framework of petrologically and geochronologically constrained P–T–t path. As a consequence, variable Zr-in-rutile temperatures for different occurrences of rutiles are used to indicate their growth in different stages during continental subduction-zone metamorphism. Thus, some rutiles would grow at the peak pressure, whereas other rutiles would either grow before the peak pressure during the subduction or grow at or after the peak temperature during exhumation. The mineral O-isotope and Fe–Mg exchange thermometers also yield variably lower temperatures for the eclogite. The similar results were obtained for mid-T/UHP eclogites in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt. This is ascribed to the characteristic P–T–t path of UHP metamorphic rocks, in which metamorphic temperatures at peak pressures are lower than the peak temperatures at decreased pressures during exhumation. Thus, there is a contest between thermodynamics and kinetics during metamorphic reactions in response to P–T changes. Therefore, the reasonable interpretation of thermometric data requires comprehensive understanding of thermometric methodology from physicochemical principles to geological applicabilities.     

The robustness of the Zr-in-rutile and Ti-in-zircon thermometers during high-temperature metamorphism (Ivrea-Verbano Zone, northern Italy)

This study investigates the behaviour of the Zr-in-rutile and Ti-in-zircon thermometers in granulite facies metapelites from the Ivrea-Verbano Zone lower crustal section. U–Pb ages of zircon constrain the timing of regional amphibolite–granulite facies metamorphism to 316 ± 3 Ma and record zircon recrystallisation and resetting of U–Pb ages at 276 ± 4 Ma and 258 ± 3 Ma. Zr-in-rutile thermometry records peak contact metamorphic temperatures related to intrusion of mafic magmatic rocks and gives peak temperatures between 900–930 °C and 1,000–1,020 °C that are consistent with the geological settings of the samples. Ti-in-zircon temperatures of 700–800 °C and 810–870 °C record growth or re-equilibration of zircon after cooling from peak temperatures. Ti-in-quartz thermometry for one sample records both peak and retrograde temperatures. Some rutiles in all samples record resetting of Zr-in-rutile temperatures at ~750–800 °C. Electron microprobe profiles across individual rutiles demonstrate that Zr expulsion occurred by recrystallisation rather than by diffusive exchange. Exsolution of small needles of baddelyite or zircon from rutile is an important method of Zr redistribution, but results in no net Zr loss from the grain. The demonstration that Zr-in-rutile thermometry can robustly record peak temperatures that are not recorded by any other thermometer emphasises the relevance of this technique to investigating the evolution of high-grade metamorphic terranes, such as those that characterise the lower crust.     

Application of Zr-in-rutile thermometry: a case study from ultrahigh-temperature granulites of the Khondalite belt, North China Craton

Zr-in-rutile thermometry was applied to ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) granulites from three localities, Dongpo, Tuguishan, and Dajing/Tuguiwula of the Khondalite belt, North China Craton. Zr concentrations of analyzed rutiles were detected by LA-ICP-MS and EMP, which display a mutative composition zoning, a large inter-grain variation, a bimodal distribution at around 1,500 and 6,000?ppm, and no relationship with the textural setting (matrix vs. inclusion). These characteristics were likely caused by post-peak diffusional resetting associated with slow cooling rates and the presence of a CO₂-rich fluid. The grains with lower Zr concentrations (~500 to ~3,000?ppm) and temperature estimates (~650 to ~850°C) occur close to or in contact with zircon, which was easily affected by post-peak processes (for example: diffusion, dissolution/reprecipitation). The lowest temperatures (~650 to ~700°C) we obtained represent the closure temperature of Zr-in-rutile. Rutiles with higher Zr concentrations (~3,000 to ~8,000?ppm) and calculated temperatures (~850 to ~1,000°C) were least affected by late resetting, giving near-peak metamorphic temperatures. These temperature results higher than 900°C, even in excess of 1,000°C from the three localities, reconfirm the presence of UHT metamorphism. Our results also suggest that Zr-in-rutile thermometry is valid for ultrahigh-temperature estimates. In addition, there are positive correlations between concentrations of Zr and Hf, Nb and Ta of the investigated rutiles, but the correlations weaken as the concentrations increase, especially for Nb and Ta, implying fractionation of Nb and Ta.     

Rutile occurrence and trace element behavior in medium-grade metasedimentary rocks: example from the Erzgebirge, Germany

Metamorphic textures in medium-grade (~500–550°C) metasedimentary rocks from the Erzgebirge give evidence of prograde rutile crystallization from ilmenite. Newly-crystallized grains occur as rutile-rich polycrystalline aggregates that pseudomorph the shape of the ilmenites. In-situ trace element data (EMP and SIMS) show that rutiles from the higher-grade samples record large scatter in Nb content and have Nb/Ti ratios higher than coexisting ilmenite. This behavior can be predicted using prograde rutile crystallization from ilmenite and indicates that rutiles are reequilibrating their chemistry with remaining ilmenites. On the contrary, rutiles from the lowest grade samples (~480°C) have Nb/Ti ratios that are similar to the ones in ilmenite. Hence, rutiles from these samples did not equilibrate their chemistry with remaining ilmenites. Our data suggest that temperature may be one of the main factors determining whether or not the elements are able to diffuse between the phases and, therefore, reequilibrate. Newly-crystallized rutiles yield temperatures (from ~500 to 630°C, Zr-in-rutile thermometry) that are in agreement with the metamorphic conditions previously determined for the studied rocks. In quartzites from the medium-grade domain (~530°C), inherited detrital rutile grains are detected. They are identified by their distinct chemical composition (high Zr and Nb contents) and textures (single grains surrounded by fine grained ilmenites). Preliminary calculation, based on grain size distribution of rutile in medium-grade metapelites and quartzites that occur in the studied area, show that rutiles derived from quartzites can be anticipated to dominate the detrital rutile population, even if quartzites are a minor component of the exposure.     

南阿尔金巴什瓦克高压/超高温麻粒岩中金红石Zr温度计及其地质意义

文中对南阿尔金高压-超高压变质带巴什瓦克地区的高压麻粒岩中的金红石进行了电子探针和薄片原位LA ICP MS微量元素分析。数据结果显示,运用电子探针和薄片原位LA ICP MS两种实验方法测得巴什瓦克高压麻粒岩中的金红石Zr含量在误差范围内基本一致。对比研究表明,经过压力校正的Thomkins等(2007)的金红石Zr含量温度计算公式更适合本区高压麻粒岩温度的计算,而采用Zack等(2004)和Watson等(2006)的公式计算的温度分别比前人通过传统温度计获得的温度结果偏高和偏低。按照Thomkins等(2007)的金红石Zr含量温度计算公式,以压力为2 GPa计算获得,巴什瓦克地区新鲜高压麻粒岩样品中金红石Zr含量温度为890~962 ℃,被解释为代表了高压麻粒岩峰期的变质温度;而以压力为1 GPa计算得出,退变高压麻粒岩样品中金红石Zr含量温度为764~822 ℃,代表了晚期中温麻粒岩相退变质阶段的变质温度。以上结果进一步证实南阿尔金高压-超高压变质带巴什瓦克地区的高压麻粒岩经历了峰期超高温/高压麻粒岩相变质作用和晚期中温麻粒岩相退变质作用的叠加。     

麻粒岩相金红石微量元素体系

麻粒岩是研究地壳演化最重要的变质岩类,金红石作为麻粒岩中常见的副矿物之一,深入探究其微量元素体系特点,可为大陆地壳演化研究提供新的视角.根据麻粒岩金红石的基础数据（显微结构、微量元素、离子替换方式）以及地壳常见造岩矿物的微量元素特点,初步探讨了麻粒岩变质过程中微量元素行为和扩散效应.麻粒岩金红石Zr含量可记录不同阶段的变质温度,但次生锆石和钛铁矿可对其Zr含量有较大影响,作为孤立体系（不与锆石和石英平衡）的金红石不能用于温度计算;金红石Nb、Ta、Cr和V不仅受全岩成分控制,还与变质过程中黑云母、钛铁矿、蓝晶石等矿物的形成和分解紧密相关;金红石与富Fe矿物之间有强烈的Fe扩散效应.深入理解麻粒岩变质过程中金红石微量元素行为,可为限定大陆地壳变质演化和动力学过程提供重要的矿物学信息.      

Zr-in-rutile thermometry of eclogites from the Karakaya Complex in NW Turkey: Implications for rutile growth during subduction zone metamorphism

Eclogites occur as a tectonic slice within a metabasite-phyllite-marble unit of the Karakaya Complex in northwest Turkey. The high-pressure mineral assemblage in eclogite is mainly composed of garnet + omphacite + glaucophane + epidote + quartz. Trace element characteristics of rutile and Zr-in-rutile temperatures were determined for eclogites from the Karakaya Complex. Core-rim analyses of rutile grains yield remarkable trace element zoning with lower contents of Zr, Nb and Ta in the core than in the rim. The variations in Zr, Nb and Ta can be ascribed to growth zoning rather than diffusion effects. The Nb/Ta and Zr/Hf ratios increase with a decrease in Ta and Hf contents, which could be ascribed to the effect of metamorphic dehydration in subduction zones on rutile Nb/Ta differentiation. The rutile grains from eclogites in the Karakaya Complex are dominated by subchondritic Nb/Ta and Zr/Hf ratios. It can be noted that subchondritic Nb/Ta may record rutile growth from local sinks of aqueous fluids from metamorphic dehydration.The Zr contents of all rutile grains range between 81 and 160 ppm with an average of 123 ppm. The Zr-in-rutile thermometry yields temperatures of 559–604 °C with an average temperature of 585 °C for eclogites from the Karakaya Complex. This average temperature suggests growth temperature of rutile before peak pressure during the subduction. However, some rutile grains have higher Zr contents in the outermost rims compared to the core. Zr-in-rutile temperatures of the rims are about 20 °C higher than those of the cores. This suggests that the outermost rims would have grown from a distinct fluid at higher temperatures than that of the cores. Moreover, Zr contents and calculated temperatures in both inclusion rutile and matrix rutile from eclogites are identical, which suggests that eclogites within the Karakaya Complex belong to the same tectonic slice and underwent similar metamorphic evolution.     

碎屑金红石:沉积物源的一种指针

近年来,碎屑金红石的研究已成为沉积物源区分析的一个新前沿。金红石的地球化学组成,尤其是Cr,Nb,Zr等微量元素的含量,对其母岩的形成条件和所经历的地质过程都具有重要的指示意义,同时,碎屑金红石在沉积、成岩过程中表现出极高的稳定性,因而是物源分析的理想指针矿物。首先介绍金红石的矿物学和地球化学基本性质,分析不同来源的金红石典型特征,重点阐述碎屑金红石在物源分析中运用的5个方面:①金红石重矿物比值;②金红石矿物化学成分Cr-Nb判别图解;③金红石Zr含量温度计;④金红石的U-Pb和(U-Th)/He定年;⑤金红石Lu-Hf同位素。综合上述5个方面的物源分析研究,可以获取金红石的母岩类型、形成温度及后期所经历的热演化史等信息。碎屑金红石的物源研究处于起步和探索阶段,仍存在一些亟需解决的问题。
