塔什库尔干碱性杂岩体形成时代及其地质意义

帕米尔构造结是青藏高原变形最强烈的地区之一，区内新生代岩浆侵入活动发育，既有壳源岩浆侵位，也有幔源岩浆广泛分布。根据岩石学和地球化学研究，侵入岩可分为幔源碱性正长岩和壳源花岗岩2个系列。幔源碱性正长岩总体上由暗色正长岩、浅色正长岩和碱性花岗岩组成，其成因为岩浆不不混溶作用。壳源花岗岩类成分单一，具有低共熔岩浆属性，其成因可能与幔源岩浆对地壳加热有关。利用碱性正长岩的钾长石进行^40Ar-^39Ar法获得3个分别为大约23Ma、13Ma和8Ma坪年龄数据，结合岩体地质特征，认为它们分别代表了碱性正长岩和花岗岩的侵位时间以及后期构造热事件。研究结果表明，岩浆活动是帕米尔构造结形成和帕米尔强烈变形的主要因素之一。     

攀西裂谷带内超基性碱性岩和层状辉长岩^40Ar-^39Ar年龄——以鸡街、大向坪和太和岩体为例

对分布在攀西古裂谷带内的禄丰县鸡街和大向坪超基性碱性环状杂岩体中霞辉岩，以及西昌太和层状辉长岩等两类岩石进行全岩^40Ar-^39Ar坪年龄测定，结果表明鸡街岩体和大向坪岩体中霞辉岩年龄范围在214～193Ma，相当于晚三叠世，属于印支期。总体上，超基性碱性环状杂岩的侵位时间略晚于含矿辉长岩；太和层状辉长岩^40Ar-^39Ar坪年龄，由于过剩Ar等原因的扰动，使其年龄值远远高于成岩年龄。暗示全岩或辉石单矿物等不适合作为攀西地区层状辉长岩定年的对象。     

喜马拉雅中段哲古拉花岗岩中高压麻粒岩包体及其主岩的^40Ar／^39Ar年代学研究

为了深入了解喜马拉雅构造带的地质演化历史,同时为了探讨作为建立高压变质条件下的同位素年代学方法的重要前提的同位素体系特征,对出露于喜马拉雅中段西藏哲古拉地区的高压麻粒岩包体中的峰期矿物和退变质矿物及其主岩花岗岩中的富钾矿物进行了常规40Ar/39Ar年代学研究.花岗岩中的黑云母坪年龄为11.48±0.18Ma,钾长石坪年龄为12.63±0.19Ma,二者的等时线年龄与之相当,分别为11.63Ma和12.58Ma.高压麻粒岩峰期矿物黑云母的坪年龄为48.5±0.54Ma,等时线年龄为48.95±0.83Ma,(40Ar/39Ar)i为285;退变质矿物角闪石的坪年龄谱呈马鞍形,坪区数据对应的等时线年龄为31.1±5.4Ma,(40Ar/39Ar)i为394,显示有过剩40Ar的存在.结合前人的研究,推定高压麻粒岩经历了一个快速的退变质作用过程,不仅变质作用没有达到平衡,早期与晚期变质矿物之间也没有达成氩同位素交换平衡,在标本尺度上或高压麻粒岩包体与主岩花岗岩之间均是如此.根据40Ar/39Ar年代学结果也可以了解到,在高压麻粒岩的退变质过程中,早期与晚期变质矿物之间的氩同位素体系有明显不同,这种氩同位素体系在不同变质阶段的不平衡记录为帮助建立不同变质地质事件的年代学序列提供了研究途径.依照获得的40Ar/39Ar年代学数据,可以建立喜马拉雅中段高压麻粒岩包体形成和演化的动力学过程推定高压麻粒岩经受了两期变质作用的叠加,峰期变质老于48.5Ma,晚期变质发生在31Ma前后;大约在17Ma前后为其主岩花岗岩捕虏,并在11Ma～12Ma之间被带至地表.文中对前人锆石U-Pb年龄进行了再分析,认为在高压变质作用条件下,由于熔体或流体从变质岩石中被抽提出去而限制了变质锆石的生长,因此,高压麻粒岩包体中的锆石U-Pb年龄没有能够记录高压变质事件.     

准噶尔盆地周边硅质岩激光40Ar/39Ar法定年

由于较低的钾元素含量以及过剩氩的存在,长期以来对硅质岩的40Ar/39Ar定年一直存在较大难度。近年来,由于仪器水平的不断提高,新实验技术和方法的应用,特别是激光全熔40Ar/39Ar定年技术的应用,40Ar/39Ar定年方法具有了足够高的测试精度和稳定的低本底水平,可以满足测试极低钾元素含量的硅质岩样品的要求。利用多组矿物颗粒测试数据计算等时线年龄的方法可以很好地去除过剩氩对硅质岩年龄的影响。本文利用激光全熔40Ar/39Ar定年方法对新疆准噶尔盆地边缘的两个硅质岩样品进行了定年研究。采自白碱滩地区的08BJT-3样品的年龄测试结果为294±14Ma,该年龄结果与硅质岩样品所处的晚石炭世地层沉积年代基本一致。采自卡拉麦里地区的KML-2样品的年龄测试结果为266±14Ma,该年龄结果与强烈变形改造硅质岩样品的卡拉麦里构造变形带活动年代十分一致,表明激光全熔40Ar/39Ar定年方法可以准确地对硅质岩进行定年。     

柴北缘锡铁山花岗质片麻岩深熔作用年代和冷却历史:来自浅色体~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年代学证据

长英质浅色体广泛出露于柴北缘造山带中段锡铁山地体花岗质片麻岩中,多呈脉状、不规则透镜状顺区域片麻理走向产出,主要由钾长石、斜长石、角闪石、石英以及少量黑云母组成,是黑云母花岗质片麻岩深融作用的产物。温压估算获得其形成条件为P=(6.5~9.6)′102 MPa,T=640~690℃,达麻粒岩相。选取浅色体角闪石和钾长石单矿物进行激光阶段加热~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年。角闪石共进行了17个阶段,其中3~17阶段数据形成平坦年龄谱,坪年龄为442.5±4.0 Ma;构成年龄坪的数据对应的等时线年龄为441.6±3.9 Ma,相应初始捕获氩比值为303±4,暗示该角闪石样品不含过剩~(40)Ar。坪年龄~442.5 Ma解释为角闪石初始结晶年龄,代表了锡铁山地区黑云母片麻岩发生深融(混合岩化)的时代。共生钾长石阶段加热获得一个低温和一个高温坪,坪年龄分别为307.5±2.9 Ma和323.3±3.0 Ma;等时线图谱暗示该钾长石样品未受过剩~(40)Ar干扰。坪年龄分别代表浅色体冷却到钾长石封闭温度~200℃和~250℃的时间。~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年结果显示锡铁山黑云母片麻岩深熔作用后经历了低速抬升(0.1~0.2 km/Ma)和缓慢冷却(3~3.6℃/Ma)的演化历史。     

东喜马拉雅构造结岩体冷却的40Ar/39Ar年代学研究

对采自东喜马拉雅构造结核心地段雅鲁藏布大峡谷地区的13件标本中的20件矿物样品进行了系统的常规^40Ar／^39Ar年代学研究。数据显示,样品的（^40Ar／^39Ar）i值均接近尼尔值（295．5±5）,且绝大部分样品的坪年龄与其反等时线年龄在误差范围内一致。从数据统计结果来看,所测样品的^40Ar／^39Ar年龄大都集中在1．3Ma和2．5Ma左右,表明南迦巴瓦地区在上新世中期和更新世早期均经历了快速冷却抬升事件。本次测试的样品采自不同的高程及不同的构造单元,且样品原岩的成因及岩性各异,但沿着大峡谷由北向南不同地段的样品的不同矿物（角闪石、黑云母、白云母、钾长石）的^40Ar／^39Ar年龄相近,而同一样品中不同矿物的^40Ar／^39Ar年龄大小又并非完全按照矿物对氩同位素体系的封闭温度高低来分布,表明该地区在上新世以来的岩体冷却速率很大,以致该地区的矿物对氩同位素体系的封闭过程与处于缓慢冷却环境中的封闭过程明显不同。以本文报道的数据估算,南迦巴瓦地区的岩体在最近3Ma以来的冷却速率达120～240℃／Ma,岩体抬升速率达3．4—6．9mm／a。     

河南桐柏老湾金矿床和花岗岩的年龄及其意义

通过老湾金矿床矿石中石英和花岗岩中的 主要造岩矿物石英、钾长石的40Ar/39Ar定 年,获得成矿年龄为91.5±1.0Ma,成岩期高温坪年龄为104.1±1.0Ma～108.9±0.3Ma,等 时线 年龄为102.8±0.1Ma～108.7±0.1Ma,因此认为成岩成矿具同时性。结 合 秦岭-大别造山带的演化历史,提出老湾金矿床和老湾花岗岩均形成于燕山晚期,成矿略晚 于成岩,构造应力环境为挤压向伸展转化的过渡期或以张应力为主的构造体制。     

阿尔泰造山带南缘基性杂岩的形成背景及其动力学含义

新疆北部阿尔泰造山带南缘出露-套基性杂岩,它们呈透镜状存在于晚古生代片麻状花岗岩中。阿拉尕克基性杂岩的~40Ar/39~Ar坪年龄为262．7±1．1Ma。基性杂岩的地球化学分析结果显示阿勒泰阿拉尕克、塔尔浪乡样品的轻、重稀土元素基本上没有发生分异,富蕴县乌恰沟基性岩的轻、重稀土元素发生了中一弱的分异；在微量元素特征方面,富集Th、Rb。通过地球化学图件判别,认为该基性杂岩形成于海山的构造环境。结合前人获得的花岗岩锆石SHRIMP的年代集中在400～410Ma左右,而花岗岩~40Ar/39~Ar坪年龄为240Ma左右,作者认为基性杂岩的~40Ar/39Ar坪年龄代表了晚二叠世时期的一次构造事件的年龄,基性杂岩寄生于花岗岩中是通过构造混杂作用实现的。在此基础上,提出了形成过程的两个阶段,即：晚古生代早期的俯冲阶段,为花岗岩与含海山玄武岩的增生楔形成阶段,晚二叠世的强烈碰撞阶段,导致花岗岩和增生楔物质的变形和构造混杂。     

40Ar/39Ar ages in deformed potassium feldspar: evidence of microstructural control on Ar isotope systematics

Detailed field and microstructural studies have been combined with high spatial resolution ultraviolet laser ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of naturally deformed K-feldspar to investigate the direct relationship between deformation-related microstructure and Ar isotope systematics. The sample studied is a ~1,000 Ma Torridonian arkose from Skye, Scotland, that contains detrital feldspars previously metamorphosed at amphibolite-facies conditions ~1,700 Ma. The sample was subsequently deformed ~430 Ma ago during Caledonian orogenesis. The form and distribution of deformation-induced microstructures within three different feldspar clasts has been mapped using atomic number contrast and orientation contrast imaging, at a range of scales, to identify intragrain variations in composition and lattice orientation. These variations have been related to thin section and regional structural data to provide a well-constrained deformation history for the feldspar clasts. One hundred and forty-three in-situ ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar analyses measured using ultraviolet laser ablation record a range of apparent ages (317-1030 Ma). The K-feldspar showing the least strain records the greatest range of apparent ages from 420-1,030 Ma, with the oldest apparent ages being found close to the centre of the feldspar away from fractures and the detrital grain boundary. The most deformed K-feldspar yields the youngest apparent ages (317-453 Ma) but there is no spatial relationship between apparent age and the detrital grain boundary. Within this feldspar, the oldest apparent ages are recorded from orientation domain boundaries and fracture surfaces where an excess or trapped ⁴⁰Ar component resides. Orientation contrast images at a similar scale to the Ar analyses illustrate a significant deformation-related microstructural difference between the feldspars and we conclude that deformation plays a significant role in controlling Ar systematics of feldspars at both the inter- and intragrain scales even at relatively low 'bulk' strains. The data show that Ar loss and trapping within the deformed K-feldspars reflects the presence of a deformation-induced population of small diffusion domains in combination with 'short-circuit' diffusion along deformation-induced defects. The complex history of microstructures induced in the K-feldspars during their cooling, alteration, erosion and sedimentation do not appear to be as significant as deformation-induced microstructures in controlling the distribution of apparent ages at the grain scale.     

Evidence for excess argon during high pressure metamorphism in the dora maira massif (Western Alps,Italy), using an ultra-violet laser ablation microprobe 40Ar-39Ar technique

 Ultra-high pressure eclogite/amphibolite grade metamorphism of the Dora Maira Massif in the western Alps is a well established and intensively studied event. However, the age of peak metamorphism and early cooling remains controversial. The ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar step-heating and laser spot ages from high pressure phengites yield plateau ages as old as 110 Ma which have been interpreted as the time of early cooling after the high pressure event. Recent U/Pb and Sm/Nd results challenge this assertion, indicating a much younger age for the event, around 45 Ma, and hence a radically different timing for the tectonic evolution of the western Alps. In a new approach to the problem, samples from the undeformed Hercynian metagranite, Brossasco, were studied using an ultra-violet laser ablation microprobe technique for ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar dating. The new technique allowed selective in situ analysis, at a spatial resolution of 50 μm, of quartz, phengite, biotite and K-feldspar. The results demonstrate the frequent occurrence of excess argon with high ⁴⁰Ar-³⁶Ar ratios (1000–10000) and a strong relationship between apparent ages and metamorphic textures. The highest excess argon ratios are always associated with high closure temperature minerals or large diffusion domains within single mineral phases. The best interpretation of this relationship seems to be that excess argon was incorporated in all phases during the high pressure event, then mixed with an atmospheric component during rapid cooling and retrogression, producing a wide range of argon concentrations and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar ratios. Step-heating analysis of minerals with this mixture would produce linear arrays on a ³⁶Ar/⁴⁰Ar versus ³⁹Ar/⁴⁰Ar correlation diagram, leading to geologically meaningless plateau ages, older than the true closure age. In the present case, some ages in the range 60–110 Ma could be explained by the presence of excess argon incorporated around 40–50 Ma ago. Similar results found in other high pressure terrains in the Alps may reconcile the argon geochronometer with other systems such as Rb/Sr, U/Pb or Sm/Nd. This study therefore calls for an increasing use of high resolution in situ sampling techniques to clarify the meaning of ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages in many high pressure terrains.

构造剪切与变质角闪石中过剩Ar的引入：北秦岭丹凤群斜长角闪岩的Sm－Nd、Rb－Sr和~（40）Ar／~（39）Ar测年证据

本文对两个北秦岭丹凤群斜长角闪岩样品进行了Ｓｍ－Ｎｄ、Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ和４０Ａｒ／３９Ａｒ测年，发现其中受构造改造轻微的黑河丹凤群斜长角闪岩样品的角闪石４０Ａｒ／３９Ａｒ年龄与其Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ、Ｓｍ－Ｎｄ矿物等时线年龄接近，而遭受强烈构造剪切作用的蒲峪丹凤群斜长角闪（片）岩的角闪石４０Ａｒ／３９Ａｒ年龄则明显高于其Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ、Ｓｍ－Ｎｄ矿物等时线年龄，指示构造剪切作用对变质角闪石中过剩氩的引入有显著影响。在利用４０Ａｒ／３９Ａｒ进行造山带年代学研究时这一问题应引起注意     

Excess and Radiogenic Argon in High-Pressure Mylonites of the Tan-Lu Fault Zone, Eastern China

Bulk separates of porphyroclastic phengite, neoformed phengite and their mixtures from the Tan-Lu HP mylonites overprinted on the Sulu UHP rocks were analyzed with the 40Ar/39Ar step heating method. Two samples of the neoformed phengite from ultramylonite give 40Ar/39Ar plateau ages of 209.9±1.8 Ma and 214.3±1.8 Ma, which are interpreted as representing cooling times of the TanLu sinistral faulting, and provide geochronological evidence for the syn-orogenic faulting of the Tan-Lu fault zone. The results show that the phengite formed during the retrograde eclogite-facies mylonitization was not contaminated with excess argon and can be used for dating the deformation. Argon closure in previous K-bearing minerals with excess argon under a retrograde HP dry condition is considered to be the reason for lack of excess argon incorporation in the neoformed phengite. Five porphyroclastic phengite samples yield 40Ar/39Ar plateau ages ranging from 666±12 Ma to 307.1±3.3 Ma, which are interpreted as being contaminated with excess argon. Two mixture samples with plateau ages of 239.4±2.1 Ma and 239.3±2.0 Ma show upward-convex age spectra caused by the mixture of older porphyroclastic phengite with excess argon incorporation and younger neoformed phengite without excess argon incorporation. It is demonstrated that excess argon introduced from the previous UHP metamorphism is still preserved in the pre-existing phengite after the Tan-Lu eclogite-facies mylonitization. The intense deformation under HT and HP conditions cannot erase excess argon in the previous phengite totally due to restricted fluid activities. These porphyroclastic phengite previously contaminated with excess argon cannot be used for dating the later HP deformation. This indicates that deformation under a HP dry condition does not play an important role in removing previous 40Are in phengite.     

西藏波龙斑岩铜金矿床钾长石和绢云母40Ar/39Ar年龄及其地质意义

西藏波龙斑岩铜金矿床是新近在青藏高原中部发现的规模最大的斑岩型矿床。文章对该矿床内的蚀变钾长石和蚀变绢云母进行了⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年代学测试,获得蚀变钾长石的⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar坪年龄为(118.33±0.60) Ma,反等时线年龄为(118.49±0.74) Ma (初始⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar=286.1±8.4),表明波龙斑岩铜金矿床的钾化蚀变年龄为118~119 Ma;蚀变绢云母的⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar坪年龄为(121.61±0.67) Ma,反等时线年龄为(121.1±2.0) Ma (初始⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar=279±19)。由于蚀变绢云母测试样品内可能混入了斜长石,受其影响,蚀变绢云母测年结果的下限可能代表了该矿床绢英岩化蚀变年龄。这些蚀变钾长石和蚀变绢云母⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar测年结果与波龙矿床的成岩年龄值和成矿年龄值在误差范围内基本一致,表明该矿床的钾化和绢英岩化与成岩、成矿同期,该矿床的岩浆-热液活动过程的时限为121~118 Ma。     

西藏谢通门县雄村铜金矿主要地质体的40Ar/39Ar年龄及地质意义

雄村铜金矿Ⅱ号矿体在2007-2008年取得了重大的找矿突破,详细的地质编录成果表明,矿体同样受含眼球状石英斑晶的角闪石英闪长玢岩和角闪石英闪长玢岩控制.含眼球状石英斑晶的角闪石英闪长玢岩和角闪石英闪长玢岩的锆石U-Pb年龄已经确定(164～177 Ma),因此,雄村铜金矿不同地质体的云母类、长石类矿物Ar-Ar同位素年龄的测定显得尤为关键.文章通过对穿切I号矿体的黑云母花岗闪长岩、云煌岩脉的黑云母Ar-Ar同位素测年,结合其他研究者的成果,得到一组十分重要的年龄数据.穿插矿体的黑云母花岗闪长岩中的黑云母(样号6187-335)坪年龄(46.96±0.42)Ma,穿插矿体的无矿化的云煌岩(5053-324.4)(Cu含量0.0551%,Au含量0.034 g/t,Ag0.6 g/t)中的黑云母给出了一个较好的似坪年龄,加权平均年龄为(49.59±0.58)Ma.结合其他研究者测定的中侏罗世侵位的角闪石英闪长玢岩(不含矿)[锆石U-Pb年龄为(177.1±2.0)Ma]中黑云母的At-At同位素年龄为(48.57±0.31)Ma;含矿凝灰岩围岩[锆石U-Pb年龄为(176±5)Ma,MS3VD=0.63}的蚀变绢云母Ar-Ar年龄为(47.07±0.30)Ma;似伟晶岩中长石的At-At年龄为(47.62±0.7)Ma,认为不同形成时代、不同产出空间、不同矿化程度的地质体的云母类、长石类矿物的Ar-Ar同位素年龄的一致性,反映了后期岩浆热事件对中侏罗世早期形成的地质体和矿体的黑云母氩同位素体系产生了较强的扰动或置换.谢通门大岩基黑云母花岗闪长岩的侵位致使各地质体发生显著的退变质,形成典型的角岩化带,这种退变质的时限在46-48 Ma之间的始新世lutetian期,进而认为各地质体中云母类矿物的~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar同位素年龄不能作为成矿年龄.     

40Ar/39Ar record of late Pan–African exhumation of a granulite facies terrain, central Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica

⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronological data on hornblende, biotite and K-feldspar provide constraints on the cooling path experienced by a high-grade metamorphic complex from the Mühlig–Hofmannfjella and Filchnerfjella (6–8°E), central Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, during the late Neoproterozoic-early Palaeozoic Pan–African orogeny. Hornblende ages yield c. 481 Ma, biotite ages range from c. 466 Ma to c. 435 Ma, whereas K-feldspar ages of the gneisses are c. 437 Ma. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar data suggest initial cooling at a rate of ~10 °C/Myr between 481 and 465 Ma, followed by a lower cooling rate of ~6 °C/Myr during the subsequent c. 30 million years. The K-feldspar ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages place a lower time limit on the duration of the exhumation, by the time of thermal relaxation to a stable continental geotherm. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar data reflecting cooling indicate tectonic exhumation related to orogenic collapse during a later phase of the Pan–African orogeny.

Highly retentive core domains in K-feldspar and their implications for 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology illustrated by determining the cooling curve for the Capoas Granite,Palawan, The Philippines

K-feldspar from the late Miocene Capoas Granite on Palawan in The Philippines appears to contain highly retentive diffusion domains that are closed to argon diffusion at near-solidus temperatures during cooling of this ～7 km-diameter pluton. This is an important result, for K-feldspar is commonly considered not retentive in terms of its ability to retain argon. Closure temperatures for argon diffusion in K-feldspars are routinely claimed to be in the range ～150–400°C but the release of ³⁹Ar from irradiated K-feldspar during furnace step-heating experiments in vacuo yields Arrhenius data that imply the existence of highly retentive core domains, with inferred closure temperatures that can exceed ～500–700°C. These high closure temperatures from the Capoas Granite K-feldspar are consistent with the coincidence of ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages with U–Pb zircon ages at ca 13.5 ± 0.2 Ma. The cooling rate then accelerated, but the rate of change had considerably slowed by ca 12 Ma. Low-temperature (U–Th)/He thermochronology shows that the cooling rate once again accelerated at ca 11 Ma, perhaps owing to renewed tectonic activity.     

华南某些含钨花岗岩的K-Ar年龄

测定了华南某些与钨矿床有关的花岗岩和钨矿脉样品的K—Ar年龄,共37件。这些花岗岩的表观年龄自183Ma至99.5Ma(年龄值为715Ma的岩体与钨矿无关),其中68％以上样品值域在150Ma左右。~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar—40K/~(36)Ar等时线图解给出的等时年龄为132.1Ma,说明这些花岗岩在形成时代上属中侏罗到早白垩世。我们发现在华南钨矿成矿域内,有一个从中心带向外年龄逐渐变青的趋势。用矿脉中和矿脉侧云英岩中云母类矿物所做的K—Ar定年得到的矿化作用的年龄,与各自相关的花岗岩的年龄非常接近,以至于很难用K—Ar定年法加以区别。即成矿作用和成岩作用有一种准同期性。等时线对应的~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar初始比高于现今大气Ar的比值,表明花岗岩在固结时有继承Ar存在。
