内蒙古沙麦钨矿白云母40Ar/39Ar年龄及其地质意义

内蒙古沙麦钨矿床位于中亚造山带东段（或称兴蒙造山带）,矿体主要赋存在黑云母二长花岗（斑）岩内,主要矿化类型为伟晶岩型和云英岩型。本文利用40Ar/39Ar同位素测年方法对沙麦钨矿成矿阶段形成的白云母进行了年龄测定,获得白云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为138.4 ± 0.84 Ma,对应的正、反等时线年龄分别为137.32 ± 0.73 Ma和137.35 ± 0.73 Ma。所测坪年龄与正反等时线年龄具有很好的一致性,可以代表矿床钨矿体的形成年龄,表明该矿床的形成与沙麦地区燕山晚期的岩浆活动有关,这与区域上的成矿事件相吻合。结合区域地球动力学背景的研究成果,认为沙麦钨矿床形成于陆-陆碰撞造山后的陆内伸展环境。

哈萨克斯坦阿克斗卡特大型斑岩铜矿床成矿时代与剥露历史研究

哈萨克斯坦阿克斗卡特大型斑岩型铜矿床产在中亚成矿域巴尔喀什成矿带阿克斗卡矿田。本文根据花岗岩类岩石的锆石U-Pb、40Ar/39Ar和裂变径迹(FT)热年代学研究,结合前人研究成果,给出了阿克斗卡斑岩铜矿床从深成岩浆活动、成矿作用、区域冷却到剥露作用的全过程。阿克斗卡矿床及附近花岗岩类锆石SHRIMPU-Pb定年结果,给出科尔达尔岩体早期英云闪长岩的结晶年龄为335.7±1.3Ma;主成矿期的含矿二长花岗斑岩结晶年龄为327.5±1.9Ma,反映了阿克斗卡矿床斑岩型铜成矿作用的年龄。花岗岩类角闪石、黑云母、钾长石40Ar/39Ar热年代学分别给出矿物冷却年龄为310.6Ma、271.5Ma和274.9Ma,进一步限定了深成斑岩型铜成矿作用的时代和区域冷却的历史。磷灰石FT测年数据揭示,受区域构造作用的影响,阿克斗卡铜矿田在晚白垩世(91～68.0Ma)发生地块的差异隆升和剥露作用。     

Zircon U–Pb,Molybdenite Re–Os and K‐feldspar 40Ar/39Ar Dating of the Bolong Porphyry Cu–Au Deposit,Tibet, China

The Bolong porphyry Cu–Au deposit is a newly discovered deposit in the central Tibetan Plateau, and is ranked as the second largest copper deposit discovered to date in the Bangong‐Nujiang metallogenic belt in China. Three granodiorite porphyry phases occur within the Bolong porphyry Cu–Au deposit. Phyllic alteration is widespread on the surface of the deposit, and potassic alteration occurs at depth, associated with granodiorite porphyries. The copper and gold mineralization is clearly related to the potassic and phyllic alteration. Multiple chronometers were applied to constrain the timing of magmatic–hydrothermal activity at the Bolong deposit. Zircon U–Pb geochronology reveals that the granodiorite porphyry phases were emplaced at ca. 120 Ma. Re–Os data of four molybdenite samples from quartz–molybednite veinlets yielded an isochron age of 119.4 ± 1.3 Ma. The plateau age of hydrothermal K‐feldspar from the potassic alteration zone, analyzed by ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating, is 118.3 ± 0.6 Ma, with a similar reverse isochron age of 118.5 ± 0.7 Ma. Therefore, the magmatic–hydrothermal activity occurred at ca. 120–118 Ma, which is similar in age to the neighboring Duobuza porphyry copper deposit. The period of 120–118 Ma is therefore important for the development of porphyry Cu–Au mineralization in the central Tibetan Plateau, and these porphyry deposits were formed during the final stages of the northward subduction of the Neo‐Tethys Ocean.     

辽宁后仙峪硼矿床氩-氩定年及其地质意义

U–Pb and Ar–Ar geochronology of the Fujiawu porphyry Cu–Mo deposit,Dexing district,Southeast China: Implications for magmatism,hydrothermal alteration,and mineralization

The Fujiawu porphyry Cu–Mo deposit is one of several porphyry Cu–Mo deposits in the Dexing district, Jiangxi Province, Southeast China. New zircon SHRIMP U–Pb data yield a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 172.0 ± 2.1 and 168.5 ± 1.4 Ma from weakly altered granodiorite porphyry and quartz diorite porphyry, respectively. Two hydrothermal biotites from granodiorite porphyry give an Ar–Ar step-heating plateau age of 169.9 ± 1.8 and 168.7 ± 1.8 Ma. Hydrothermal apatite exsolved from altered biotite yields an isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry isochron age of 164.4 ± 0.9 Ma. The apatite age is similar to the ages obtained from hydrothermal rutile (165.0 ± 1.1 and 164.8 ± 1.6 Ma) and indicates that the magmatism and hydrothermal activity in the Fujiawu deposit occurred in the Middle Jurassic. Hydrothermal fluid circulation related to multiple stages of magma emplacement resulted in Cu–Mo mineralization in the Fujiawu porphyry deposit. The zircon SHRIMP U–Pb ages and the published molybdenite Re–Os age (170.9 ± 1.5 Ma) represent the timing of magma crystallization and Mo mineralization, whereas the rutile and apatite U–Pb ages reflect the timing of Cu mineralization following quartz diorite emplacement. The data suggest slow cooling after emplacement of the quartz diorite porphyry.     

~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar Dating of Albite and Phlogopite from Porphyry Iron Deposits in the Ningwu Basin in East-Central China and Its Significance

40Ar-39Ar dating of albite from the Meishan and Taocun iron deposits yields plateau ages of 122.90±0.16 Ma and 124.89±0.30 Ma, and isochron ages of 122.60±0.16 Ma and 124.90±0.29 Ma, respectively. Phlogopite from the Zhongshan-Gushan ore field has a plateau age of 126.7±0.17 Ma and an isochron age of 127.21±1.63 Ma. Analysis of regional geodynamic evolution of the middle-lower Yangtze River region suggests that the porphyry iron deposits were formed as a result of large-scale lithosphere delamination and strong sinistral strike-slip movement of the Tancheng Lujiang fault zone. The copper, molybdenum and gold deposit system in the middle-lower Yangtze River region was formed during the stress transition period of the eastern China continent.     

Lithogeochemical,Re–Os and U–Pb Geochronological,Hf–Lu and S–Pb Isotope Data of the Ga'erqiong‐Galale Cu–Au Ore‐Concentrated Area: Evidence for the Late Cretaceous Magmatism and Metallogenic Event in the Bangong‐Nujiang Suture Zone,Northwestern Tibet,China

The Ga'erqiong‐Galale skarn–porphyry copper–gold ore‐concentrated area is located in the western part of the Bangong‐Nujiang suture zone north of the Lhasa Terrane. This paper conducted a systematic study on the magmatism and metallogenic effect in the ore‐concentrated area using techniques of isotopic geochronology, isotopic geochemistry and lithogeochemistry. According to the results, the crystallization age of quartz diorite (ore‐forming mother rock) in the Ga'erqiong deposit is 87.1 ± 0.4 Ma, which is later than the age of granodiorite (ore‐forming mother rock) in the Galale deposit (88.1 ± 1.0 Ma). The crystallization age of granite porphyry (GE granite porphyry) in the Ga'erqiong deposit is 83.2 ± 0.7 Ma, which is later than the age of granite porphyry (GL granite porphyry) in the Galale deposit (84.7 ± 0.8 Ma).The quartz diorite, granodiorite, GE granite porphyry and GL granite porphyry both main shows positive ε_Hf(t) values, suggesting that the magmatic source of the main intrusions in the ore‐concentrated area has the characteristics of mantle source region. The Re–Os isochron age of molybdenite in the Ga'erqiong district is 86.9 ± 0.5 Ma, which is later than the mineralization age of the Galale district (88.6 ± 0.6 Ma). The main intrusive rocks in the ore‐concentrated area have similar lithogeochemical characteristics, for they both show the relative enrichment in large‐ion lithophile elements(LILE: Rb, Ba, K, etc.), more mobile highly incompatible lithophile elements(HILE: U, Th) and relatively depleted in high field strength elements (HFSE: Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf, etc.), and show the characteristics of magmatic arc. The studies on the metal sulfides' S and Pb isotopes and Re content of molybdenite indicate that the metallogenic materials of the deposits in the ore‐concentrated area mainly come from the mantle source with minor crustal source contamination. Based on the regional tectonic evolution process, this paper points out that the Ga'erqiong‐Galale copper–gold ore‐concentrated area is the typical product of the Late Cretaceous magmatism and metallogenic event in the collision stage of the Bangong‐Nujiang suture zone.     

内蒙古达茂旗北部闪长岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb、角闪石~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年代学及其地质意义

内蒙古达茂旗北部的早古生代闪长岩侵入体产于包尔汉图-白乃庙岛弧带的西部,采用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年及角闪石40Ar/39Ar测年对其进行了精确的年代学研究。两件闪长岩样品分别获得的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为453±3Ma和446.8±5.3Ma,角闪石40Ar/39Ar坪年龄为459.2±2.4Ma和442.9±4.2Ma。这为研究该时期弧岩浆作用提供了新的年代学证据,并表明该岩浆侵位后,经历了结晶并快速冷却的过程,可能揭示了本区岛弧带和华北板块碰撞的构造意义。

Geochemistry and zircon geochronology of a gabbro–granodiorite complex in Tongxunlian,Inner Mongolia: partial melting of enriched lithosphere mantle

A complex of gabbro (with metamorphic pyroxenite xenoliths)–gabbroic diorite–granodiorite was recently discovered in Tongxunlian, Xilinhot city, Inner Mongolia. Zircon U–Pb isotopic dating showed that the gabbro and the granodiorite were formed ca. 319 ± 1 Ma and ca. 318 ± 1 Ma respectively, indicating that emplacement of the composite rocks occurred in the late Carboniferous. Positive ε_Hf(t) values of +12.0 to +14.1 and two‐stage model ages (T_DM2) of 418 to 537 Ma of these rocks are similar to the age of formation of metamorphic pyroxenite (560 Ma, based on Sm–Nd isochron dating) and suggest that the rocks were derived from depleted lithospheric mantle (metamorphic pyroxenite). Our findings revealed that all of these calc‐alkaline and metaluminous intrusive rocks formed from the fractional crystallization of comagmatic evolution in an island‐arc setting. Moreover, the gabbro–gabbroic diorite in the study region was characterized by a low TiO₂ content, a slight deficit of Nb, a surplus of Ta, and relatively low LREE/HREE ratios. Along with a relatively high Zr/Y ratio (4.0 to 5.6), these characteristics indicate that the rocks may have been formed by melting of the mantle wedge via metasomatism. Combination with other features of the rocks indicates a two‐episode tectonic model: we conclude that first, the fluid and Si‐rich melt metasomatism caused partial melting of the enriched lithospheric mantle, and these influences were then stored in the mantle; and second, slab breakoff resulted in upwelling of the upper mantle's soft fluid (stratum), which melted the enriched mantle of the lithosphere and formed the basaltic magma of the gabbro–gabbroic diorite. This study provides new geological evidence to support the Neoproterozoic subduction between the Paleo‐Asian Ocean plate and the Xilinhot microcontinent.

^Ar／^39Ar Dating of Deformation Events and Reconstruction of Exhumation of Ultrahigh—Pressure Metamorphic Rocks in Donghai,East China

Abstract Recent investigations reveal that the ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphic (UHPM) rocks in the Donghai region of East China underwent ductile and transitional ductile‐brittle structural events during their exhumation. The earlier ductile deformation took place under the condition of amphibolite facies and the later transitional ductile‐brittle deformation under the condition of greenschist facies. The hanging walls moved southeastward during both of these two events. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of muscovites from muscovite‐plagioclase schists in the Haizhou phosphorous mine, which are structurally overlain by UHPM rocks, yields a plateau age of 218.0±2.9 Ma and isochron age of 219.8Ma, indicating that the earlier event of the ampibolite‐facies deformation probably took place about 220 Ma ago. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of oriented amphiboles parallel to the movement direction of the hanging wall on a decollement plane yields a plateau age of 213.1 ± 0.3 Ma and isochron age of 213.4±4.1 Ma, probably representing the age of the later event. The dating of pegmatitic biotites and K‐feldspars near the decollement plane from the eastern Fangshan area yield plateau ages of 203.4±0.3 Ma, 203.6±0.4 Ma and 204.8±2.2 Ma, and isochron ages of 204.0±2.0 Ma, 200.6±3.1 Ma and 204.0±5.0 Ma, respectively, implying that the rocks in the studied area had not been cooled down to closing temperature of the dated biotites and K‐feldspars until the beginning of the Jurassic (about 204 Ma). The integration of these data with previous chronological ages on the ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism lead to a new inference on the exhumation of the UHPM rocks. The UHPM rocks in the area were exhumed at the rate of 3–4 km/Ma from the mantle (about 80–100 km below the earth's surface at about 240 Ma) to the lower crust (at the depth of about 20‐30km at 220 Ma), and at the rate of 1–2 km/Ma to the middle crust (at the depth of about 15 km at 213 Ma), and then at the rate of less than 1 km/Ma to the upper crust about 10 km deep at about 204 Ma.

西藏夏垅铅锌银矿床绢云母40Ar/39Ar年龄及其地质意义

西藏冈底斯成矿带位于班公湖-怒江缝合带与雅鲁藏布江缝合带之间,从北向南依次可划分为3个成矿亚带:勒青拉-洞中松多铅锌银多金属成矿亚带,驱龙-甲马-邦铺斑岩铜钼成矿亚带,克鲁-冲木达斑岩-矽卡岩铜钼金成矿亚带。驱龙-甲马-邦铺成矿亚带内矿床的类型以斑岩型为主,部分伴生有矽卡岩型及热液脉型矿床。夏垅矿床位于驱龙-甲马-邦铺斑岩铜钼成矿亚带的西段,产于黑云母二长花岗岩基中,属于隐爆角砾岩型铅锌银多金属矿床。对夏垅矿床内与石英、方铅矿、闪锌矿密切共生的绢云母进行了⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar定年,确定其坪年龄及反等时线年龄分别为(23.56±0.22) Ma和(23.9±1.6) Ma。该矿床作为隐爆角砾岩型铅锌银多金属矿床的发现以及冈底斯火山岩自西向东逐渐变年轻的时空迁移规律说明在冈底斯成矿带的西侧存在着岩浆活动。夏垅矿床成矿年龄的精确测定把驱龙-甲马-邦铺斑岩铜钼成矿亚带向西延伸了120 km,增大了该成矿亚带的找矿潜力,为在该成矿亚带内寻找此类铅锌银多金属矿床提供了理论及实际依据。     

冈底斯带甲玛矿区花岗斑岩类年代学、地球化学及岩石成因

藏南冈底斯带中新世斑岩成因主要存在残留洋壳的部分熔融、加厚下地壳的部分熔融、陆下岩石圈的部分熔融和俯冲流体交代基性下地壳的部分熔融四种观点.为了进一步阐明该时期的岩浆成因和大地构造背景,对冈底斯带甲玛矿区不同类型的斑岩体进行了岩石学分析和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测试,并运用X荧光光谱仪和电感耦合等离子体质谱仪分别对样品进行了全岩主、微量元素测试.测试结果显示冈底斯带甲玛矿区的斑岩类形成于16.7~14.4 Ma,总体上具有埃达克质岩石的地球化学特征.其中花岗斑岩类来自于藏南加厚的基性新生下地壳的部分熔融,而辉长闪长玢岩来源于富集的岩石圈地幔.早中新世以来（18~13 Ma）青藏高原处于构造转换阶段,含矿的埃达克质岩浆沿断裂通道上升,并且在上升过程中遭受到了中上地壳物质的混染,演化形成甲玛矿区内石英闪长玢岩、花岗闪长斑岩、二长花岗斑岩和花岗斑岩,而近乎同时期来自于岩石圈地幔的岩浆则演化形成辉长闪长玢岩;矿区内含矿热液流体在岩浆热驱动和构造应力作用下,在林布宗组砂板岩、角岩与多底沟组大理岩、灰岩的层间滑脱带或褶皱的构造虚脱空间就位,形成冈底斯带甲玛矽卡岩型铜多金属主矿体.      

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。     

安徽宁芜地区铁氧化物-磷灰石矿床中金云母Ar-Ar定年及其地球动力学意义

铁氧化物-磷灰石型铁矿床是长江中下游成矿带的重要组成部分,对其成岩成矿时限的精确厘定,是理解长江中下游地区中生代大规模成矿作用的动力学演化的关键。本文分别对宁芜盆地南部白象山、和睦山及中部的陶村三个大-中型铁矿床中与磁铁矿密切共生的金云母单矿物进行了Ar-Ar同位素测年,获得白象山矿床金云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为134.9±1.1Ma,对应的反等时线年龄为133±2Ma;和睦山矿床金云母Ar-Ar坪年龄为132.9±1.1Ma,对应的反等时线年龄为133.9±2.4Ma;陶村矿床金云母的反等时线年龄为128±14Ma。该区铁氧化物-磷灰石型矿床与该区火山-次火山岩具有密切的时间联系,成岩成矿时限主要集中于135～126Ma。综合研究表明,长江中下游第二期成岩成矿作用的时限为135～126Ma,对应于岩石圈的大规模快速减薄的地球动力学背景。     

^40Ar-^39Ar Isotopic Dating of the Xianghualing Sn-polymetallic Orefield in Southern Hunan, China and Its Geological Implications

The Xianghualing Sn-polymetallic orefield in Hunan Province, southern China, is a large-size tin orefield. Although numerous studies have been undertaken on this orefield, its genesis, mineralization age, and tectonic setting are still controversial, mainly because of the lack of reliable geochronological data on tin mineralization. The 40Ar/39Ar stepwise heating dating method was first employed on muscovite from different deposits in this orefield. The muscovite sample from the Xianghualing Sn-polymetallic deposit defines a plateau age of 154.4±1.1 Ma and an isochron age of 151.9±3.0 Ma; muscovite from the Xianghuapu W-polymetallic deposit yields a plateau age of 161.3±1.1 Ma and an isochron age of 160.0±3.2 Ma; muscovite from the Jianfengling greisen-type Sn-polymetallic deposit gives a plateau age of 158.7±1.2 Ma and an isochron age of 160.3±3.2 Ma. The tungsten-tin mineralization ages in the Xianghualing area are therefore restricted within 150-160 Ma. The tungsten -tin mineralization in Xianghualing occurred at the same time as the regional tin-tungsten mineralization including the Furong tin orefield, Shizhuyuan tungsten-tin polymetallic deposit and Yaogangxian tungsten-polymetallic deposit. Thus, the large-scale tungsten-tin metallogenesis in South China occurring at 160-150 Ma. probably is closely related to asthenospheric upwelling and crust-mantle interaction under a geodynamic setting of crustal extension and lithosphere thinning during the transformation of tectonic regimes during the Mid-Late Jurassic.
