Geochronology and geochemistry of mafic dykes in the Helanshan complex: Implications for Mesozoic tectonics in the North China Craton

The Helanshan tectonic belt(HTB) is a major tectonic divide between the Alxa and Ordos blocks in the North China Craton. The geochronology and petrogenesis of the mafic dykes in the northern HTB are keys to understanding the tectonic evolution of this belt. The mafic dykes, intruded into the Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic metamorphic basement, are mainly composed of diabase with a mineral assemblage of plagioclase(45%-60%), pyroxene(25%-35%), minor quartz and Fe-Ti oxides. The LA-ICPMS U-Pb analysis of zircon grains from representative dykes yield a weighted mean age of 206 ± 1.9 Ma, which represents the crystallization age of the dyke. The diabases show high contents of Fe_2 O_3~T(11.88-17.55 wt.%), low contents of SiO_2(45.65-50.95 wt.%) and MgO(3.31-5.50 wt.%) with low Mg#(=100×MgO/(MgO + FeO) atomic ration) of 33-44. They are characterized by enrichment of light rare earth elements(LREEs) and large ion lithophile elements(LILEs)(e.g., Rb, Ba and Pb), and slight depletion of high field strength elements(HFSEs). These features suggest that the magma has undergone extensive fractionation of olivine and pyroxene but only minor crustal contamination during its evolution. Their high Sm contents and La/Sm ratios, and low Sm/Yb ratios indicate that magma from which the dykes formed was derived from low degree(about 5%) partial melting of an enriched garnet + spinel lherzolite mantle source. Together with regional geology, these geochemical and geochronological data suggest that the mafic dykes in the HTB were formed in an intracontinental extensional setting during the late Triassic.     

Isotope geochemistry and geochronology of the Niujuan silver deposit,northern North China Craton: Implications for magmatism and metallogeny in an extensional tectonic setting

The Niujuan breccia-type silver deposit forms part of the North Hebei metallogenic belt along the northern margin of the North China Craton. The Hercynian Baiyingou coarse-grained granite and the Yanshanian Er’daogou fine-grained granite are the major Mesozoic intrusions exposed in this region. Here we investigate the salient characteristics of the mineralization and evaluate its genesis through zircon U-Pb and fluorite Sm-Nd age data, and Pb, S, O, H, He and Ar isotope data. The orebodies of the Niujuan silver deposit are hosted in breccias, which contain angular fragments of the Baiyingou and Er’daogou granitoids. The δ³⁴S values of pyrite from the silver mineralized veins range from 2.4‰ to 5.3‰. The ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios of the sulfide minerals show ranges of 16.837–16.932, 15.420–15.501 and 37.599–37.950, respectively. The ³He/⁴He and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar ratios of the fluids trapped in pyrite are 0.921–4.81Ra and 299.34–303.84, respectively. The δ¹⁸O and δ¹⁸D_w values of the ore-forming fluids range from 0.6‰ to −4.15‰ and from −119.4‰ to −98.7‰, respectively. Our isotopic data suggest that the ore-forming fluids were originally derived from the subvolcanic plutons and evolved into a mixture of magmatic and meteoric water during the main hydrothermal stage. The ore-forming materials were primarily derived from the lower crust with limited incorporation of mantle materials. The emplacement time of the Er’daogou granite is constrained by LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb geochronology at 145.5 ± 2.1 Ma. Five fluorite samples from the last hydrothermal stage yielded a Sm-Nd isochron age of 139.2 ± 3.8 Ma, indicating the upper age limit for the silver mineralization. These ages correlate with the formation of the Niujuan deposit in an extensional setting associated with the closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean and the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific oceanic plate beneath the North China Craton.     

Laser Ablation ICP‐MS U‐Pb Zircon Geochronology of Granitoids and Quartz Veins in the Shihu Gold Mine,Taihang Orogen,North China: Timing of Gold‐mineralization and Tectonic Implications

The Shihu gold deposit, situated in the Taihang Mesozoic orogen of the North China Craton (NCC), is hosted by ductile-brittle faults within Archean metamorphic core complex. The deposit is characterized by gold-bearing quartz-polymetallic sulfides veins. The Mapeng granitoids stock and intermediate-basic dikes intruded the metamorphic basement rocks, and are spatially related to gold mineralization. Detailed laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA ICP-MS) U-Pb zircon ages of the granitic rocks, dykes and mineralized quartz veins in the studied area reveal its magmatic and mineralized history. The mineralized quartz veins contain inherited zircons with ages of about 2.55 Ga and 1.84 Ga, probably coming from the basement. These two Precambrian events are coeval with those in other parts of the NCC. The Mapeng granitoid stock, the largest intrusion in the area, was emplaced at ca. 130 Ma, and is coeval with magmatic zircon populations from diorites and quartz diorite pophyrites in the same region. The ca. 130 Ma magmatism and gold mineralization were most likely related to an underplating event that took place in the Taihang orogen at Late Mesozoic. The timing of gold mineralization with respect to felsic magmatism in the area is similar to those observed in other major gold-producing provinces in the NCC. This episode is simultaneous with those in the eastern margin of NCC, indicative of a widespread late Yanshanian metallogenic event that was a response to the Early Cretaceous lithosphere in the eastern NCC, in which the mesothermal gold deposits were formed from similar tectono-magmatic environments.     

太行山和华北其它地区中生代岩浆作用的锆石U-Pb年代学和地球化学特征及其岩浆成因和地球动力学意义

华北克拉通东部中生代岩浆岩的主要特征是岩石类型复杂(从辉长质到二长花岗质),显示高钾钙碱性、高Sr—Ba、高Sr／Y和La／Yb比值和高度富集的Sr-Nd同位素成分。锆石SHRIMP定年表明,太行山地区岩浆作用发生在138—127Ma之间。该年代结果与东亚其它地区已经发表的锆石年代数据揭示了中生代岩浆作用的发展具有从日本岛(和朝鲜半岛;210Ma),到胶辽半岛(180Ma),再到大别山-太行山(138Ma)的年轻化趋势。这暗示华北中生代岩浆作用可能与古太平洋板块的俯冲有关。但华北中生代岩浆岩似乎没有明显的向内陆方向的成分变化极性,可能与古太平洋板块在地幔过渡带的水平俯冲有关。地球化学数据表明,华北中生代岩浆岩可能主要形成于壳幔岩浆混合作用和随后的分离结晶过程．而不是形成于基性下地壳部分熔融作用。     

Provenance and tectonic significance of late Mesoproterozoic detrital zircons from the Tonian system,northern margin of the North China Craton

The involvement of the North China Craton (NCC) in the assembly or breakup of Rodinia has long been debated. Studies of palaeomagnetism, mafic sills (dikes), igneous events, and sedimentary records have led to contrasting opinions on this topic. No igneous events related to the late Mesoproterozoic assembly of Rodinia have been reported in the NCC. However, the authors found numerous late Mesoproterozoic zircons in the Tonian system on the northern margin of the NCC. The Tonian Zhulazhagamaodao formation is composed of meta-sandstone, siltstone, slate, carbonate, and dolomine of the littoral to neritic facies and occurs mainly in the western part of the Bayan Obo–Zhaertai–Langshan rift. U–Pb dating of detrital zircons from the Tonian system reveals age peaks at 1079 ± 23 Ma, 1092 ± 22 Ma, 1175 ± 50 Ma, 1175 ± 18 Ma, 1260 ± 45 Ma, 1266 ± 16 Ma, and 1270 ± 26 Ma, which correspond to the timing of Rodinia assembly. Considering that coeval igneous rocks and orogenic belts developed mostly in the Laurentia–Baltica cratons, we propose that these cratons supplied clastic material to the northern margin of the NCC and that they had a close spatial relationship between each other during the Tonian.     

Crustal recycling through intraplate magmatism: Evidence from the Trans-North China Orogen

The North China Craton (NCC) preserves the history of crustal growth and craton formation during the early Precambrian followed by extensive lithospheric thinning and craton destruction in the Mesozoic. Here we present evidence for magma mixing and mingling associated with the Mesozoic tectonic processes from the Central NCC, along the Trans-North China Orogen, a paleo suture along which the Eastern and Western Blocks were amalgamated at end of Paleoproterozoic. Our investigations focus on two granitoids – the Chiwawu and the Mapeng plutons. Typical signatures for the interaction of mafic and felsic magmas are observed in these plutons such as: (1) the presence of diorite enclaves; (2) flow structures; (3) schlierens; (4) varying degrees of hybridization; and (5) macro-, and micro-textures. Porphyritic feldspar crystals show numerous mineral inclusions as well as rapakivi and anti-rapakivi textures. We present bulk chemistry, zircon U–Pb geochronology and REE data, and Lu–Hf isotopes on the granitoids, diorite enclaves, and surrounding basement rocks to constrain the timing of intraplate magmatism and processes of interaction between felsic and mafic magmas. Our LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb data show that the pophyritic granodiorite was emplaced at 129.7 ± 1.0 Ma. The diorite enclaves within this granodiorite show identical ages (128.2 ± 1.5 Ma). The basement TTG (tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite) gneisses formed at ca. 2.5 Ga coinciding with the major period of crustal accretion in the NCC. The 1.85 Ga age from zircons in the gabbro with positive Hf isotope signature may be related to mantle magmatism during post-collisional extension following the assembly of the Western and Eastern Blocks of the NCC along the Trans-North China Orogen. Our Hf isotope data indicate that the Neoarchean–Paleoproterozoic basement rocks were derived from complex sources of both juvenile magmas and reworked ancient crust, whereas the magma source for the Mesozoic units are dominantly reworked basement rocks. Our study provides a window to intraplate magmatism triggered by mantle upwelling beneath a paleosuture in the North China Craton.     

Early Cretaceous gabbroic complex from Yinan,Shandong Province: petrogenesis and mantle domains beneath the North China Craton

Sensitive high resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) zircon U–Pb ages, geochemical and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic data are reported for the gabbroic complex from Yinan (Shandong Province) with the aims of characterizing the nature of the Mesozoic mantle beneath the North China Craton. The Yinan gabbros contain alkali feldspar and biotite, and are characterized by moderate Mg#, high SiO₂, low FeO and TiO₂ contents and a strong enrichment of light rare earth elements [(La/Yb)_n=11–50], but no Eu anomaly. They have low Nb/La (0.07–0.29), radiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.710) and unradiogenic _Nd(t) (–15 to –13). These crustal fingerprints cannot be attributed to crustal contamination, given the lack of correlation between isotopic ratios and differentiation indices and the unreasonably high proportion of crustal contaminant (>20%) required in modeling. Instead, compositional similarities to contemporaneous basalts from nearby regions imply that the Yinan gabbros were not significantly affected by crystal cumulation. Isotopic data available for the Mesozoic mafic magmas reveal two distinct mantle domains beneath Shandong. While the EM1-like domain (with low ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) is confined to western Shandong, the mantle beneath eastern Shandong is dominated by EM2-type (with high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) affinities. This aerial distinction suggests that the EM2-like signature of the Yinan gabbros may have been inherited from westerly-subducted Yangtze crust during the Triassic North China-South China collision. Emplacement of the Yinan gabbros (127 Ma) is likely affiliated with the widespread and protracted extension during the late Mesozoic in this region.     

华北克拉通北缘鸡冠山斑岩钼矿床成矿年代及印支期成矿事件

Oldest zircon xenocryst (4.17 Ga) from the North China Craton

Prior to this work, the existence of crustal materials older than 4.0 Ga has not been reported from the North China Craton (NCC) – one of the few global terrains where crustal rocks from ～3.8 Ga have been identified. Here we report the first occurrence of a xenocrystic zircon with a ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age of 4174 ± 48 Ma, from the Anshan–Benxi Archaean supracrustal greenstone belt, based on laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry. The 4.17 Ga zircon xenocryst is hosted within ～2523 ± 12 Ma massive fine-grained amphibolites which were subsequently metamorphosed at ～2481 ± 19 Ma. The xenocryst age is ca. 350 million years, older than the oldest zircon previously identified in the NCC, and is consistent with prior zircon Lu–Hf isotopic studies. Documentation of 4.17 Ga xenocrystal zircon not only provided a geochronological record of the oldest known crustal materials in the NCC, but also identified the geologic environment for further search for the rocks that formed during Earth’s earliest recorded evolution.     

Relationship of the Tarim Craton to the Central Asian Orogenic Belt: insights from Devonian intrusions in the northern margin of Tarim Craton,China

ABSTRACT

The boundary and relation of the Tarim Craton to the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and its role in the formation history of the CAOB remain controversial. This article presents ages and Hf-in-zircon isotopic and geochemical results for gabbroic, dioritic, and granitic plutons from the northern margin of Tarim Craton (NMTC), and discusses their petrogenesis and tectonic regimes as well as the boundary between the CAOB and the Tarim Craton. These plutons yield zircon ages of 424–385 Ma. In the Quruqtagh zone south of the Xinger Fault, the gabbroic pluton shows enrichment in LREEs and LILEs, depletion in HFSEs and positive ε_Hf(t) values (+4.0 to +11.4), suggesting that parental magmas of gabbros were likely derived by partial melting of a depleted mantle wedge previously metasomatized by slab-derived aqueous fluids. In the Hulashan Zone north of the Xinger Fault, the studied rocks include one dioritic pluton and three granitic plutons. The geochemical characteristics and petrogenesis of the dioritic pluton are similar to those of the studied gabbroic with positive ε_Hf(t) values (+3.0 to +9.4). The three granitic plutons display relative depletion in HFSEs and enrichment in LILEs. Their variable ε_Hf(t) values range from ?2.1 to +8.9, with T_DM2 ages of 858–1503 Ma, suggesting complex crustal sources with different proportions of juvenile and ancient materials. This article confirms and evidences an Andean-style active continental margin of the Tarim Craton due to southward subduction of the South Tianshan Ocean. Furthermore, our Hf isotopic data, together with regional data from the literature, show that the Hulashan zone to the north to the Xinger Fault has younger continental materials in deep than these of NMTC south of the fault, and is similar to microcontinental fragments in the CAOB. This suggests that the Xinger fault may be the boundary between the Tarim Craton and Tianshan orogen.     

Early Cretaceous gabbroic rocks from the Taihang Mountains: Implications for a paleosubduction-related lithospheric mantle beneath the central North China Craton

SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages and geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic data are presented for the gabbroic intrusive from the southern Taihang Mountains to characterize the nature of the Mesozoic lithospheric mantle beneath the central North China Craton (NCC). The gabbroic rocks emplaced at 125 Ma and are composed of plagioclase (40–50%), amphibole (20–30%), clinopyroxene (10–15%), olivine (5–10%) and biotite (5–7%). Olivines have high MgO (Fo = 78–85) and NiO content. Clinopyroxenes are high in MgO and CaO with the dominant ones having the formula of En_42–46Wo_41–50Fs_8–13. Plagioclases are dominantly andesine–labradorite (An = 46–78%) and have normal zonation from bytownite in the core to andesine in the rim. Amphiboles are mainly magnesio and actinolitic hornblende, distinct from those in the Precambrian high-pressure granulites of the NCC. These gabbroic rocks are characterized by high MgO (9.0–11.04%) and SiO₂ (52.66–55.52%), and low Al₂O₃, FeOt and TiO₂, and could be classified as high-mg basaltic andesites. They are enriched in LILEs and LREEs, depleted in HFSEs and HREEs, and exhibit (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i = 0.70492–0.70539, ε_Nd(t) = − 12.47–15.07, (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb)_i = 16.63–17.10, Δ8/4 = 70.1–107.2 and Δ7/4 = − 2.1 to − 9.4, i.e., an EMI-like isotopic signatures. Such geochemical features indicate that these early Cretaceous gabbroic rocks were originated from a refractory pyroxenitic veined-plus-peridotite source previously modified by an SiO₂-rich melt that may have been derived from Paleoproterozoic subducted crustal materials. Late Mesozoic lithospheric extension might have induced the melting of the metasomatised lithospheric mantle in response to the upwelling of the asthenosphere to generate these gabbroic rocks in the southern Taihang Mountains.     

玉龙斑岩铜矿带南段含矿斑岩体锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及南北段成矿规模差异分析

藏东缘玉龙斑岩铜矿带是中国重要的产于碰撞造山环境下的斑岩铜矿带,其全长约300千米,主要由1个超大型、2个大型、2个中型斑岩铜矿床及一系列斑岩型矿床(点)组成。玉龙斑岩铜矿带大规模矿化主要位于矿带北段,南段矿化规模相对较小,目前发现的多为小型矿床(点)。为了深入了解玉龙斑岩铜矿带时空演化及南北段矿化规模差异的控制因素,本文分析了玉龙斑岩铜矿带南段色礼、马牧普和总郭这3个矿化点矿化斑岩体锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄、地球化学组成及色礼矿化斑岩体锆石Hf同位素。色礼、马牧普和总郭含矿斑岩分别为二长花岗斑岩、正长斑岩及石英二长斑岩,三者锆石LAICP-MS U-Pb年龄分别为39.4±0.2Ma(MSWD=1.10)、38.5±0.3Ma(MSWD=1.79)和39.4±0.2Ma(MSWD=1.05)。矿化斑岩体为偏铝质,具有富碱、高钾(K_2O/Na_2O=1.2~2.4)、富集大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素,亏损高场强元素,弱Eu负异常特征。3个矿化斑岩具有较高的Sr/Y比值,且都发育角闪石斑晶,呈现富水岩浆特征。色礼二长花岗斑岩的锆石εHf(t)为-2.7~2.8,平均值为-0.4,显示壳幔混合源区特征,并且其明显小于玉龙斑岩铜矿带北段玉龙超大型斑岩铜矿床含矿斑岩体锆石εHf(t)值(4.2)。玉龙斑岩铜矿带南北段含矿斑岩体形成时代相近,都形成于碰撞造山走滑构造背景。玉龙超大型矿床矿化斑岩锆石εHf(t)值明显大于色礼矿化点斑岩体锆石εHf(t)的值,表明矿床规模和岩浆源区物质含幔源物质多少有关,更多亏损地幔物质或新生地壳物质的加入更有利于形成大型斑岩矿床。玉龙斑岩铜矿带南北段成矿规模差异可能为北段斑岩体含更多地幔或新生地壳物质所致。     

SHRIMP锆石年代学对西藏玉龙斑岩铜矿成矿年龄的制约

锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年结果表明,玉龙岩体侵入时限至少为2．6Ma,其中成矿前石英二长斑岩的年龄为43．6±0．8Ma,成矿期黑云母二长花岗斑岩的年龄为41．0Ma±1．0Ma,代表了两幕较大的岩浆活动。玉龙斑岩铜矿主体成矿年龄约为40Ma,长时限多期幕式岩浆侵入和成矿期物理化学条件的剧变,是形成玉龙超大型斑岩铜矿的主要原因。玉龙斑岩铜矿与金沙江-红河成矿带众多新生代斑岩铜矿一样,属于印度-亚欧大陆45Ma陆陆主体碰撞之后第一次大规模应力释放的产物。     

怀安麻粒岩锆石U-Pb年代学及Hf同位素：华北北缘下地壳增生再造过程研究

怀安杂岩体位于华北克拉通中北部,出露太古代-元古代的角闪岩相-麻粒岩相高级变质岩,记录了华北克拉通复杂的地壳形成和演化史.本文对其中的镁铁质麻粒岩和长英质麻粒岩进行了岩石学及锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素组成研究,并在此基础上对其形成过程及所反映的华北北缘古老下地壳的增生再造过程进行讨论.镁铁质麻粒岩主要矿物组合为Cpx+ Pl+ Qz±Opx±Hb±Grt,粒状变晶结构,局部发育石榴子石的“白眼圈”现象,表明经历了高压麻粒岩相及后期近等温减压退变质作用过程.选择其中矿物组成为Cpx、Pl和少量Qz的单斜辉石麻粒岩进行锆石定年获得2461±20Ma的原岩形成年龄.这些岩浆锆石的εHf(t)为+2.1 ～ +9.7,最高值接近当时的亏损地幔值,其Hf亏损地幔模式年龄(tDM)集中在2.6～2.7Ga之间,最小为2412Ma和2461 Ma,接近原岩形成年龄.长英质麻粒岩主要组成矿物为Pl+ Kfs+ Cpx+ Qz+ Opx,粒状变晶结构.锆石测年获得2458±46Ma的原岩形成年龄.这些锆石εHf(t)范围为+2.9～ +5.3,锆石Hf两阶段模式年龄(t.ust)集中在2.8 ～2.7Ga之间.怀安麻粒岩的这些特征显示怀安地区在～2.5Ga发生亏损地幔的部分熔融,为单斜辉石麻粒岩提供了原岩物质,同时可能引起了先存(≥2.7Ga)地壳的重熔,即存在地壳再造,进一步为长英质麻粒岩提供了原岩物质.单斜辉石麻粒岩和长英质麻粒岩原岩都形成于～2.5Ga.     

Provenance of sediments from Mesozoic basins in western Shandong: Implications for the evolution of the eastern North China Block

This paper reports LA–ICP–MS U–Pb dates and in situ Hf isotope analyses of detrital zircons from the Mesozoic basins in western Shandong, China, with the aim to constrain the depositional ages and provenances of the Mesozoic strata as well as the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the eastern North China Block (NCB). The Mesozoic strata in western Shandong, from bottom to top, include the Fenghuangshan, Fangzi, Santai and Wennan formations. Most of the analyzed zircon grains exhibit oscillatory growth zoning and have relatively high Th/U ratios (generally 0.2–3.4), suggesting a magmatic origin. Zircons from the Fenghuangshan Formation in the Zhoucun Basin yield six main age populations (2489, 1854, 331, 305, 282, and 247 Ma). Zircons from the Fangzi Formation in the Zhoucun and Mengyin basins yield eight main age populations (2494, 1844, 927, 465, 323, 273, 223, and 159 Ma) and ten main age populations (2498, 1847, 932, 808, 540, 431, 315, 282, 227, and 175 Ma), respectively, whereas zircons from the Santai Formation in the Zhoucun and Mengyin basins yield nine main age populations (2519, 1845, 433, 325, 271, 237, 192, 161, and 146 Ma) and six main age populations (2464, 1845, 853, 277, 191, and 150 Ma), respectively. Five main age populations (2558, 1330, 609, 181, and 136 Ma) are detected for zircons from the Wennan Formation in the Pingyi Basin. Based on the youngest age, together with the contact relationships among formations, we propose that the Fenghuangshan Formation formed in the Early–Middle Triassic, the Fangzi Formation in the Middle–Late Jurassic, the Santai Formation after the Late Jurassic, and the Wennan Formation after the Early Cretaceous. These results, together with previously published data, indicate that: (1) the sediments of the Fenghuangshan Formation were sourced from the Precambrian basement and from late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic igneous rocks in the northern part of the NCB; (2) the sediments of the Fangzi and Santai formations were sourced from the Precambrian basement, late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic igneous rocks in the northern part of the NCB, and the Sulu terrane, as well as from Middle–Late Jurassic igneous rocks in the southeastern part of the NCB; and (3) the Wennan Formation was sourced from the Tongshi intrusive complex, the Sulu terrane, and minor Precambrian basement and Early Cretaceous igneous rocks. The evolution of detrital provenance indicates that in the Early–Middle Triassic, the northern part of the NCB was higher than its interior; during the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic, the eastern NCB was uplifted, resulting in a period of non-deposition; and an important transition from a compressional to an extensional tectonic regime occurred during the Middle–Late Jurassic. The presence of Neoproterozoic and Triassic detrital zircons in the Fangzi Formation sourced from the Sulu terrane suggests that large-scale sinistral strike-slip movement along the Tan-Lu Fault Zone did not occur after the Middle Jurassic (ca. 175 Ma).     

华北克拉通东北缘岩石圈深部物质组成的不均一性: 来自吉林南部中生代火山岩元素及Sr-Nd同位素地球化学的证据

本文报导了吉林南部果松组和三棵榆树组火山岩的全岩K-Ar和角闪石40Ar/39Ar定年结果和岩石地球化学资料,并讨论了吉林南部早白垩世火山岩岩浆源区性质以及空间变异.定年结果显示,果松组和三棵榆树组火山岩的形成时代分别为130.2±0.3Ma和118.3±1.9Ma.果松组火山岩主要由玄武岩-玄武质粗面安山岩-粗面安山岩-英安岩组成;它们的SiO2含量介于46%～64%,Mg#介于31～50之间,Al2O3含量介于14.9%～18.9%之间,全碱含量(Na2O+K2O)介于4.61%～9.23%之间,属于亚碱性系列,具钙碱性演化趋势;并以富集大离子亲石元素(LILEs)和轻稀土元素(LREEs),亏损重稀土元素(HREEs)和Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素(HFSEs)为特征;(87Sr/88Sr)i值和εNd(t)值分别介于0.7065～0.7077和-2.67～-19.71之间.果松组火山岩的成分具有较好的空间变异趋势,由东向西,火山岩的基性程度增高,东部果松组火山岩具有较高的(87Sr/86Sr)i值,而西部具有较低的εNd(t)值.三棵榆树组火山岩由粗面安山岩和粗面英安岩组成;三棵榆树组火山岩的SiO2含量介于55.5%～65.8%之间,Mg#介于42～50,Al2O3含量介于15.0%～15.7%,全碱含量偏高(Na2O+K2O=6.93%～9.24%),主体属于亚碱性系列,具钙碱性系列的演化趋势;并以较高的Th/U(5.36～5.82)、Ba/Nb(50.2～120.0)、(La/Yb)N(32.9～47.9)和Sr/Y(50.0～72.4)比值为特征;它们的(87Sr/86Sr)i值和εnd(t)值分别变化于0.7056～0.7057和-8.99～-19.71之间.上述特征揭示,果松组火山岩(130Ma)的形成主要与古太平洋板块的俯冲作用有关,岩浆来源于受流体/熔体交代的地幔楔,东西部受到不同程度陆壳物质的混染.与果松组火山岩相比,三棵榆树组火山岩(118Ma)形成于俯冲背景下的相对引张环境,岩浆来源于受交代的岩石圈地幔,但受到深部陆壳物质的混染.     

华北克拉通古老麻粒岩纪录的三期构造-岩浆事件

华北克拉通中部造山带上广泛发育新太古代-古元古代的基性岩墙。本文选取出露于华北南缘太古代太华群花岗片麻岩中的基性麻粒岩脉体进行研究,进而探讨了克拉通南缘太古代地体所经历的构造-岩浆-变质事件以及其后期演化过程。通过对基性麻粒岩脉体的野外地质、岩石学、锆石的U-Pb年代学、锆石O及Hf同位素地球化学的研究,显示该脉体记录有3期明显的构造-岩浆-变质事件:(1)新太古代晚期岩浆侵位事件(2523±8Ma)。岩浆锆石正的εHf(t)值(2.88~7.16)显示该基性岩脉是由亏损幔源玄武质岩浆侵位于太古代基底而形成的,结合锆石略高于正常地幔的δ18O值(6.12‰~7.47‰)说明岩浆侵位后受地壳混染并不显著。该岩浆事件与华北克拉通新太古代(~2.5Ga)广泛存在的地壳再造和少量的地壳增生事件吻合;(2)古元古代变质作用(1922±6Ma)。麻粒岩中变质锆石纪录的古元古代变质作用事件与华北克拉通中部造山带普遍遭受变质作用的时期(1.85~1.97Ga)相一致。锆石正的εHf(t)值(1.61~5.52)说明变质作用过程中Hf同位素体系保持封闭,因此其Hf同位素组成继承了原岩幔源岩浆的组成。而略低于岩浆锆石的δ18O值(4.85‰~5.76‰)可能是由变质作用过程中发生的高温热液蚀变导致的;(3)渐新世岩浆活动(31.38±0.15Ma),该期岩浆作用在华北克拉通属首次发现。麻粒岩中部分岩浆锆石给出了非常好的谐和年龄,这些锆石的εHf(t)值(-3.03~1.69)集中分布于原始地幔岩浆库(CHUR)演化线之上,且具有非常接近于原始地幔的δ18O值(5.78‰~6.62‰),表明该基性岩脉所记录的渐新世岩浆活动也来源于地幔。结合已有研究成果,我们认为华北南缘太华群基性脉体形成于新太古代晚期,侵位于早先的太古代地体之中,并随同古老基底一起俯冲至下地壳深度发生了麻粒岩相的变质作用,不久又一同被抬升至发生角闪岩相退变质,后又经历了渐新世的幔源岩浆活动的扰动,抬升至地表的地质演化过程。     

Geological and geochronological constraints on the genesis of the giant Tongkuangyu Cu deposit (Palaeoproterozoic), North China Craton

ABSTRACT

The Zhongtiao Mountain region is endowed with some of the largest Cu deposits in northern China, among which the Tongkuangyu Cu deposit contains 70% of the total reserves of copper. The orebodies in this deposit are confined to metamorphosed volcanic tuff and monzogranitic porphyry which are enclosed within metasediments. Metamorphism and deformation resulted in intense modification of the deposit, leading to debates surrounding its genesis. In this study, we investigate the lithology, hydrothermal alteration, and mineralization in the deposit. Secondary ion mass spectrometer and laser ablation ICPMS zircon U–Pb dating show that the meta-monzogranitic porphyry was emplaced contemporaneous with the surrounding lithologies at 2180–2190 Ma as a sill, and that the basic volcanic rocks erupted slightly earlier at ~2220 Ma. The Re–Os geochronological data on molybdenite from the deposit constrain the timing of copper mineralization to 2122 ± 12 Ma. Together with published information from previous studies on this region, we infer that during ~2100–2200 Ma the Zhongtiao Mountain region experienced continental or back-arc rifting. We exclude a porphyry copper model for the deposit and favour sediment-hosted stratiform explanation for this deposit.     

Zircon U–Pb geochronological and geochemical constraints on the petrogenesis of the Taishan sanukitoids (Shandong): Implications for Neoarchean subduction in the Eastern Block, North China Craton

Elemental, Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic and geochronological data are presented for the Taishan high-mg dioritic rocks (western Shandong) from the Eastern Block of the North China Craton in order to better understand the Archean tectonic evolution and crustal growth of the Craton. The rocks gave the zircon U–Pb age of 2536–2540 Ma. They show low SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ contents, high MgO, mg-number, Cr, Ni, Y, Yb, Sr and Ba, enriched LILEs and LREEs, depleted HFSEs and HREEs with (Nb/La)_N of 0.07–0.12. They exhibit _Nd(t) values of 1.53–3.30, (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb)_i of 11.20–15.30, (²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb)_i of 14.14–14.83 and (²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb)_I of 31.10–33.93. Such geochemical features with an affinity to both a mantle- and crust-like source for the Taishan dioritic rocks are similar to those of the typical Archean sanukitoids, suggesting an origination from a sub-arc mantle wedge variably metasomatized by the slab-derived dehydration fluids and melts before 50–100 Ma of the emplacement of the Taishan sanukitoid plutons. It is proposed that the Taishan sanukitoids resulted from the sudden change of the downgoing slab from a flat subduction to subsequently steeper subduction in an active continental margin regime during Neoarchean time.
