大陆碰撞和超高压变质的化学地球动力学:来自中国大陆科学钻探的结果

利用中国大陆科学钻探工程连续取样的优势,对主孔200～4000m超高压变质岩进行了系统的地球化学研究.结果对大陆俯冲带变质的化学地球动力学提供了新的制约.目前取得的主要成果如下(1)建立了200～4000m深度的超高压矿物氧同位素变化剖面,发现18O亏损深度达3300m.结合大别-苏鲁造山带地表露头岩石达30000km2的18O亏损,表明扬子陆块北缘曾发生三维空间巨量物质(～100000km3)的18O亏损;(2)钻孔超高压变质岩的原岩形成于新元古代中期(～780Ma),属于双重双峰式岩浆活动的产物;原岩既有中元古代晚期新生地壳,也有古元古代中期古老地壳.这种双重双峰式岩浆活动出现在弧-陆碰撞带基础上发育的裂谷构造带,是对Rodinia超大陆开始裂解的响应;(3)高压榴辉岩相重结晶作用发生在216±3Ma,高压榴辉岩相重结晶作用持续的时间为1.9～9.3Myr或更短;(4)不同岩性接触带的矿物O同位素、H同位素、全水含量以及羟基含量的研究表明,退变质流体在同位素组成上是内部缓冲的,且退变质流体主要来自于名义上无水矿物中结构羟基和分子水的出溶.定量计算表明,这些出溶的结构羟基和分子水能为角闪岩相退变质作用提供足够的流体来源;(5)在不同岩性接触带,稳定同住素、水含量及岩相学上出现同步变化,表明不同岩性接触带可能是流体活动最剧烈的地方.对于远离榴辉岩-片麻岩接触带的榴辉岩,退变质流体主要来自榴辉岩内部名义上无水矿物中结构羟基和分子水的出溶.对于靠近接触带的榴辉岩,则可能主要受来自比榴辉岩更富水的片麻岩中矿物的脱水作用.根据相邻样品之间的距离、岩相学和δ18O值,可以确定出不同岩性和相同岩性之间氧同位素不均一性的尺度为20到50cm,对应于大陆碰撞过程中流体活动的最大尺度;(6)对两个连续岩芯段的主量和微量元素剖面研究表明,在大陆俯冲带变质过程中,大离子亲石元素(LILE)和轻稀土(LREE)具有较高的活动性,而高场强元素(HFSE)和重稀土(HREE)是不活动的.这些元素的活动可能是由折返过程中大陆地壳的部分熔融导致的,因此指示了超临界流体的出现.折返过程中大陆地壳的这种部分熔融作用导致了不同板片组分之间的质量迁移,但是这种有效的迁移只发生在很小的尺度范围内,在岩相学接触带和裂隙带的局部开放系统中.     

桐柏造山带榴辉岩早古生代高压变质作用的发现

桐柏造山带是连接秦岭造山带和红安-大别造山带的枢纽,一直被认为是三叠纪变质带。本文通过对其南部高压榴辉岩带内榴辉岩和白云母石英片岩的全岩化学、锆石U-Pb年代学和Lu-Hf同位素地球化学研究,首次确定该地区的榴辉岩存在早古生代变质作用。榴辉岩主要由石榴石、绿辉石和角闪石组成,含少量多硅白云母、石英和金红石等。榴辉岩中锆石的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为452±5Ma,这些锆石具有低Th/U比值、低¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf比值,并具有平坦的HREE配分型式和无Eu负异常的特征,即为典型榴辉岩相的变质锆石。因此,452Ma代表该榴辉岩的变质时间。此外,白云母石英片岩中的锆石SIMS定年也获得450±93Ma的下交点年龄,证明白云母石英片岩与榴辉岩皆记录了早古生代的变质事件。榴辉岩的主微量元素及锆石Hf同位素特征反映榴辉岩原岩形成于板内环境,并且在侵位过程中遭到古老地壳物质的混染。结合桐柏造山带内不同岩石类型中早古生代的变质年龄,表明早古生代的变质作用在桐柏造山带内是普遍存在的。同时,桐柏造山带早古生代榴辉岩相变质事件的发现,进一步说明其经历了从古生代到中生代多阶段的构造演化。

     

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.     

A record of ultrahigh temperature metamorphism in the Dabie orogen during Triassic continental collision

Ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism is traditionally recognized by the development of characteristic mineral associations in Mg–Al-rich metapelitic rocks. However, recognition of UHT metamorphism in non-supracrustal rocks is more difficult. UHT metamorphic conditions are recorded by a migmatite from the North Dabie Terrane (NDT) of the Dabie orogen, east China. The migmatite is composed of intercalated layers of melanosome and K-feldspar-rich leucosome. Zircon grains in the migmatite have a core–rim structure comprising a metamorphic core and an anatectic rim. The metamorphic cores have low U contents (mainly <657 ppm) and low Th/U ratios (<0.2), and are depleted in heavy rare earth element (HREE). The metamorphic domains yield concordant ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages ranging from 205.1 ± 4.8 Ma to 248.0 ± 4.1 Ma with a weighted mean of 217.7 ± 4.3 Ma (n = 20, MSWD = 4.2). They contain a granulite-facies inclusion assemblage of garnet + clinopyroxene + plagioclase + quartz + rutile. Conventional geobarometry and Ti-in-zircon thermometry constrain P–T conditions to approximately 11–12 kbar and 900–950 °C, suggesting UHT metamorphism. The discovery of Triassic UHT metamorphism in the Dabie orogen, which was previously best known for ultrahigh pressure metamorphism, provides new insights into the thermal structure and geodynamics of the orogeny during continental collision. The anatectic rims of zircon grains have relatively high U contents and low Th/U ratios (<0.14), and are enriched in HREE. They yield concordant ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of 133.6 ± 1.1 Ma to 156.4 ± 2.2 Ma, indicating that anatexis occurred during post-collisional collapse of the Dabie orogen.     

Permo-Triassic high-pressure metamorphism in the central western Korean Peninsula,and its link to Paleo-Tethyan Ocean closure: Key issues revisited

Permo-Triassic high-pressure(HP) mafic granulites, together with the Bibong retrogressed eclogite,preserved along the central western Korean Peninsula provide important insights into the Late Permian to Triassic collisional orogeny in northeast Asia. The metamorphic pressureetemperatureetime(P-T-t)paths of these rocks, however, remain poorly constrained and even overestimated, owing to outdated geothermobarometers and inaccurate isopleth techniques. Here we evaluate the metamorphic Pe T conditions of Triassic HP mafic granulites including those in Baekdong, Sinri and Daepan and the Bibong Triassic retrogressed eclogite in the Hongseong area, and the Permo-Triassic Samgot mafic granulite in the Imjingang Belt of the central western Korean Peninsula through the application of modern phase equilibria techniques. The Baekdong and Samgot mafic granulites and the Bibong retrogressed eclogite yield a range of 12.0 -16.0 kbar and 800 -900℃, representing HP granulite facies conditions. The Sinri and Daepan granulites from the Hongseong area show relatively lower grade metamorphic conditions between HP granulite and normal granulite facies, and are characterized by sub-isothermal decompression during exhumation. The similarities in the metamorphic ages and the post-collisional igneous activity from the central western Korean Peninsula indicate that the Triassic ages represent the retrograde stage of the metamorphic Pe T paths. In contrast, the Late Permian metamorphic ages, which are older than protolith ages of the post-collisional igneous rocks, correspond to the possible prograde stage of metamorphism. The P-T-t paths presented in this paper, together with the metamorphic ages and post-orogenic igneous events reported from these areas suggest trace of the subduction, accretion and exhumation history, and indicate a tectonic linkage among the northeast Asian continents during the Paleo-Tethyan Ocean closure.     

Reaction history of garnet-sapphirine granulites and conditions of Archaean high-pressure granulite-facies metamorphism in the Central Limpopo Mobile Belt, Zimbabwe

ABSTRACT Sequential reaction textures in Archaean garnet-corundum-sapphirine granulites from the Central Zone of the Limpopo Belt document a progression from early, coarse-grained, high-pressure (P > 9.5 kbar) granulite-facies assemblages (M1) to late, low-pressure (P <6 kbar) granulite-facies sub-assemblages (M2). The stable M1 assemblage was garnet (57% pyrope; Mg/(Mg + Fe) = 62) + sapphirine + corundum + gedrite + phlogopite + rutile. Late-M1 boron-free kornerupine grew at the expense of garnet and corundum, and coexisted with garnet, sapphirine and gedrite. Partial or complete breakdown of coarse garnet and kornerupine during M2 resulted in the development of pseudomorphs and coronas consisting of fine-grained symplectic intergrowths of cordierite, gedrite and sapphirine (later, spinel). The majority of reaction textures can be explained in terms of a stable reaction sequence, and a model time-sequence of mineral facies can be constructed. When compared with a qualitative petrogenetic grid of (Fe, Mg)-discontinuous reactions in the FMASH multisystem sapphirine-garnet-corundum-spinel-cordierite-gedrite-kornerupine, the facies-sequence indicates decompression at essentially constant T assuming constant a(H₂O). Exhumation of M1 corundum inclusions during M2 breakdown of kornerupine resulted in production of metastable spinel by a disequilibrium reaction with gedrite. A second disequilibrium reaction of the spinel with cordierite produced sapphirine. The operation of such reaction while pressure was decreasing (the opposite dP from that implied by the texture if assumed to be the product of an equilibrium reaction) has serious implications for the use of reaction textures in the construction of P-T vectors. Garnet-biotite thermometry on garnet interiors and phlogopite inclusions in corundum yields temperatures of ca. 850°C for the M1 stage. A minimum late-M1 pressure of ca. 7 kbar is indicated by the former association of kornerupine and corundum. Relict M1 kyanites reported by other workers indicate a minumum early-M1 pressure of 9.5 kbar, implying metamorphism at depths of at least 33 km (probably 38km). The high-pressure granulite-facies metamorphism was followed by an almost isothermal pressure decrease of > 5 kbar, indicative of rapid uplift. The P-T path is interpreted as the product of a single metamorphic cycle which probably took place in response to tectonic thickening of the crust. Such a process contrasts with the extensional origin recently proposed for isobarically cooled granulite-facies terranes.     

The Nui Chua layered peridotite-gabbro complex as manifestation of Permo-Triassic mantle plume in northern Vietnam

New data on the age, composition, formation conditions, and ore-geochemical specialization of the Nui Chua layered peridotite-gabbro complex are reported. They evidence that the complex resulted from the Permo-Triassic mantle plume activity in northern Vietnam (southern framing of the Yangtze Platform). Two series of mafic and ultramafic rocks differing in ore productivity—layered (PGE-Cu-Ni) and pegmatoid (Fe-Ti-V)—have been recognized within the complex. The first estimates of the composition of their parental melts have been obtained.     

Metamorphic phase relations in orthopyroxene-bearing granitoids: implication for high-pressure metamorphism and prograde melting in the continental crust

In this work, the factors controlling the formation and preservation of high-pressure mineral assemblages in the metamorphosed orthopyroxene-bearing metagranitoids of the Sandmata Complex, Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt (ADMB), northwestern India have been modelled. The rocks range in composition from farsundite through quartz mangerite to opdalite, and with varying K₂O, Ca/(Ca + Na)_rock and FeO_tot + MgO contents. A two stage metamorphic evolution has been recorded in these rocks.
An early hydration event stabilized biotite with or without epidote at the expense of magmatic orthopyroxene and plagioclase. Subsequent high-pressure granulite facies metamorphism (∼15 kbar, ∼800 °C) of these hydrated rocks produced two rock types with contrasting mineralogy and textures. In the non-migmatitic metagranitoids, spectacular garnet ± K-feldspar ± quartz corona was formed around reacting biotite, plagioclase, quartz and/or pyroxene. In contrast, biotite ± epidote melting produced migmatites, containing porphyroblastic garnet incongruent solids and leucosomes.
Applying NCKFMASHTO T–M (H₂O) and P–T pseudosection modelling techniques, it is demonstrated that the differential response of these magmatic rocks to high-pressure metamorphism is primarily controlled by the scale of initial hydration. Rocks, which were pervasively hydrated, produced garnetiferous migmatites, while for limited hydration, the same metamorphism formed sub-solidus garnet-bearing coronae. Based on the sequence of mineral assemblage evolution and the mineral compositional zoning features in the two metagranitoids, a clockwise metamorphic P–T path is constrained for the high-pressure metamorphic event. The finding has major implications in formulating geodynamic model of crustal amalgamation in the ADMB.     

Phanerozoic high-pressure eclogite and intermediate-pressure granulite facies metamorphism in the Gyeonggi Massif, South Korea: Implications for the eastward extension of the Dabie–Sulu continental collision zone

Petrological analysis, zircon trace element analysis and SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating of retrogressed eclogite and garnet granulite from Bibong, Hongseong area, SW Gyeonggi Massif, South Korea provide compelling evidence for Triassic (231.4 ± 3.3 Ma) high-pressure (HP) eclogite facies (M1) metamorphisms at a peak pressure–temperature (P–T) of ca. 16.5–20.0 kb and 775–850 °C. This was followed by isothermal decompression (ITD), with a sharp decrease in pressure from 20 to 10 kb and a slight temperature rise from eclogite facies (M1) to granulite facies (M2), followed by uplift and cooling. Granitic orthogneiss surrounding the Baekdong garnet granulite and the ophiolite-related ultramafic lenticular body near Bibong records evidence for a later Silurian (418 ± 8 Ma) intermediate high-pressure (IHP) granulite facies metamorphism and a prograde P–T path with peak P–T conditions of ca. 13.5 kb and 800 °C. K–Ar ages of biotite from garnet granulites, amphibolites, and granitic orthogneisses in and around the Bibong metabasite lenticular body are 208–219 Ma, recording cooling to about 310 °C after the Early Triassic metamorphic peak. Neoproterozoic zircon cores in the retrogressed eclogite and granitic orthogneiss provide evidence that the protoliths of these rocks were  800 and  900 Ma old, respectively, similar to the ages of tectonic episodes in the Central Orogenic Belt of China. This, and the evidence for Triassic HP/UHP metamorphism in both China and Korea, is consistent with a regional tectonic link within Northeast Asia from the time of Rodinia amalgamation to Triassic continent–continent collision between the North and South China Blocks, and with an eastward extension of the Dabie–Sulu suture zone into the Hongseong area of South Korea.     

喜马拉雅造山带的高压超高压变质作用与印度-亚洲大陆碰撞

喜马拉雅造山带是印度与亚洲大陆碰撞作用的产物,正在进行造山作用,是研究板块构造的天然实验室.高压和超高压变质岩分布在喜马拉雅造山带的核部.这些变质岩具有不同的形成条件、形成时间和形成过程,为印度与亚洲碰撞带的几何学、运动学和动力学提供了重要的限定.含柯石英的超高压变质岩产出在喜马拉雅造山带的西段,它们形成在古新世与始新世之间(53～46Ma),为印度大陆西北边缘高角度超深俯冲作用的产物,并经历了快速俯冲与快速折返过程.在约5 Myr内,超高压变质岩从＞100km的地幔深度折返到了中地壳深度,且仅仅叠加角闪岩相退变质作用.高压榴辉岩产出在喜马拉雅造山带中段,形成时间约为45Ma,为印度大陆低角度深俯冲作用的产物,经历了至少20Myr的长期折返过程,叠加麻粒岩相退变质作用和部分熔融.高压麻粒岩产出在喜马拉雅造山带的东端,是印度大陆东北缘近平俯冲作用的产物,峰期变质作用时间约为35Ma,经历了约20Myr的长期折返过程,叠加了麻粒岩相和角闪岩相退变质作用,并伴随有多期部分熔融.因此,喜马拉雅造山带的变质作用具有明显的时间与空间变化,显示出大陆深俯冲与折返过程的差异性,以及大陆碰撞造山带形成机制的多样性.     

Devonian to Carboniferous collision in the Greenland Caledonides: U-Pb zircon and Sm-Nd ages of high-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism

A variety of eclogites from an east-west transect across the North-East Greenland eclogite province have been studied to establish the timing of high pressure (HP) and ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism in this northern segment of the Laurentian margin. Garnet + omphacite ± amphibole + whole rock Sm-Nd isochrons from a quartz eclogite, a garnet + omphacite + rutile eclogite and a partially melted zoisite eclogite in the western HP belt are 401±2, 402±9 and 414±18 Ma, respectively. Corresponding sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of metamorphic zircon in the same samples are 401±7, 414±13, and 393 ±10 Ma. Metamorphic zircon domains were identified using morphology, cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging, U, Th, Th/U and trace element contents. Zircon from the quartz eclogite and the garnet + omphacite + rutile eclogite are typical of eclogite facies zircon with rounded to subhedral shapes, patchy to homogenous CL domains, low U, and very low Th and Th/U. The partially melted eclogite contains euhedral zircons with dark, sector-zoned, higher U, Th and Th/U inherited cores. Three cores give a Paleoproterozoic ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age of 1,962±27 Ma, interpreted as the age of the leucogabbroic protolith. CL images of the bright overgrowths show faint oscillatory zoning next to homogenous areas that indicate zircon growth in the presence of a HP melt and later recrystallization. Additional evidence that zircon grew during eclogite facies conditions is the lack of a Eu anomaly in the trace element data for all the samples. These results, combined with additional less precise Sm-Nd ages and our earlier work, point to a Devonian age of HP metamorphism in the western and central portions of the eclogite province. An UHP kyanite eclogite from the eastern part of the transect contains equant metamorphic zircon with homogeneous to patchy zoning in CL and HP inclusions of garnet, omphacite and kyanite. These zircons have slightly higher U, Th and Th/U values than the HP ones, no Eu anomaly, and are thus comparable to UHP zircons in the literature. The ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of these zircons is 360±5 Ma, much younger than the HP eclogites. The same sample gives a Sm-Nd age of 342±6 Ma. Unlike the HP eclogites, the Sm-Nd age of the UHP rock is ca. 20 Ma younger than the U-Pb zircon age and most likely records slow cooling through the closure temperature, since peak temperatures were in excess of 900°C. Widespread HP metamorphism of both the Laurentian and Baltica continental margins marks the culmination of this continent–continent collision in the Devonian. Carboniferous UHP conditions, though localized in the east, suggest a prolonged collisional history rather than a short-lived Scandian orogeny. The traditional Silurian Scandian orogeny should thus be extended through the Devonian.     

Two stages of high-pressure metamorphism in the Main Uralian Fault area (northern Urals)

Metamorphism in the northern sector of the Main Uralian Fault (MUF) area, northern Urals, is considered by the example of the Salatim glaucophane-schist and Belokamenka kyanite-staurolite complexes. New isotope-geochronological dates for metamorphic rocks of the MUF area are presented. The obtained data evidence the existence of two metamorphic events, of Early and Late Devonian ages, which apparently correspond to the wedging-up of subduction paleozones.     

陆—陆碰撞造山带中压型变质作用的pT轨迹——以南秦岭佛坪地区为例

依据石榴石的环带特征反演了南秦岭造山带中压型变质作用的pT轨迹，表明石榴石的环带记录了峰期变质前的温压条件递增过程，其最高温度与最大压力一致，这一过程可能与地壳的持续加厚过程相对应。峰期变质以后即出现有构造作用参与的快速抬升过程，pT轨迹表现为ITD型。这一研究可以加深入们的对造山带发生中压型变质作用过程的理解。     

Constraints on the duration of high-pressure metamorphism in the Tauern Window from diffusion modelling of discontinuous growth zones in eclogite garnet

An eclogite sample from the Grossgockner region of the Hohe Tauern, Austria contains garnet with a pronounced compositional discontinuity between a Mn‐rich core and an Fe‐rich rim. This jump in composition was caused by a garnet‐consuming reaction followed by growth of the garnet rim + omphacite and marks the prograde transition from epidote–amphibolite to eclogite facies metamorphism. Garnet growth ended at peak metamorphic conditions of 570 °C, 17 kbar, but intracrystalline diffusion continued until about 450 °C, 4 kbar on the retrograde path. This garnet overgrowth texture represents a natural diffusion couple and a time span of 1 Myr was calculated from the diffusion profile developing out of the original sharp compositional step. For typical crustal densities, this time corresponds to a minimum average velocity in the range 4.6–7.4 cm yr^?1 (for vertical movement), which is one of the fastest exhumation rates reported. The diffusion of all divalent cations of four profiles was modelled, both analytically and numerically. Both approaches gave comparable results, but the times computed for each element were always discrepant up to a factor of 2. Variations of diffusion coefficients within 2 in analytical calculations remedied this and gave consistent upper time limits. Numerical modelling does not require the simplifications introduced in the analytical approach. On the other hand, error propagation was computationally unfeasible with this method.     

Caledonian high-pressure metamorphism in the Strona-Ceneri Zone (Southern Alps of southern Switzerland and northern Italy)

The Strona-Ceneri Zone comprises a succession of polymetamorphic, pre-Alpidic basement rocks including ortho- and paragneisses, metasedimentary schists, amphibolites, and eclogites. The rock pile represents a Late Proterozoic or Palaeozoic subduction accretion complex that was intruded by Ordovician granitoids. Eclogites, which occur as lenses within the ortho-paragneiss succession and as xenoliths within the granitoids record a subduction related high-pressure event (D1) with peak metamorphic conditions of 710 ± 30 °C at 21.0 ± 2.5 kbar. After isothermal uplift, the eclogites experienced a Barrowtype (D2) tectonometamorphic overprint under amphibolite facies conditions (570-630 °C, 7-9 kbar). U-Pb dating on zircon of the eclogites gives a metamorphic age of 457 ± 5 Ma, and syn-eclogite facies rutile gives a ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 443 ± 19 Ma classifying the subduction as a Caledonian event. These data show that the main tectonometamorphic evolution of the Strona-Ceneri Zone most probably took place in a convergent margin scenario, in which accretion, eclogitization of MOR-basalt, polyphase (D1 and D2) deformation, anatexis and magmatism all occurred during the Ordovician. Caledonian high-pressure metamorphism, subsequent magmatism and Barrow-type metamorphism are believed to be related to subduction and collision within the northern margin of Gondwana.

柴北缘欧龙布鲁克地块中元古代晚期麻粒岩相变质作用——来自石榴夕线堇青石片麻岩的岩石学、相平衡模拟和U-Pb年代学的制约

在欧龙布鲁克地块乌兰北部地区察汗河岩群中识别出麻粒岩相石榴夕线堇青石片麻岩,其矿物组合为石榴子石、夕线石、堇青石、黑云母、斜长石、钛铁矿和少量钾长石等。岩相学观察显示,M1阶段矿物组合有斜长石±钾长石+石榴子石+夕线石+石英,M2阶段矿物组合有斜长石±钾长石+石榴子石+夕线石+石英+钛铁矿+黑云母,M3阶段矿物组合有堇青石+黑云母+钛铁矿+石英+石榴子石+斜长石±钾长石。相平衡模拟计算结果显示,该岩石的峰期温压条件为p=0.92～1.08 GPa,峰期温度t>790℃,峰期之后经历升温降压的p-T演化轨迹。锆石和独居石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究获得的变质年龄分别为1 133±14 Ma和1 125±37 Ma, 1 133～1 125 Ma应代表了该期麻粒岩相变质作用的时代。结合区域地质资料和已有的研究成果,我们认为乌兰北部察汗河岩群的石榴夕线堇青石片麻岩可能形成于大洋俯冲作用下的弧或弧后构造环境,乌兰北部的岩浆-变质杂岩带经历了从中元古代晚期-新元古代早期俯冲增生到碰撞造山的演化过程,是全球Rodinia超大陆汇聚过程的响应。     

Palaeozoic collision between the North and South China blocks,Triassic intracontinental tectonics,and the problem of the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism

The Qinling–Dabie Belt represents the boundary between the North and South China blocks (NCB, SCB, respectively), where ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) rocks are widespread. A structural study in eastern Qinling and zircon LA ICPMS dating of the migmatites that form the core of the Central Qinling Unit allows us to argue that continental collision occurred in the Silurian, before 400 Ma. In the Late Palaeozoic, from the Devonian to the Permian, the northern margin of SCB experienced a continental rifting. From the Late Permian to Middle Triassic, northward continental subduction of SCB is responsible for the development of a high-pressure metamorphism. The age of the UHP metamorphism remains unsettled yet. A two-time genesis, Early Palaeozoic and Early Triassic, is often preferred, but a single Palaeozoic age followed by a Triassic resetting cannot be ruled out.     

高压麻粒岩相变质作用及深熔作用:以柴北缘都兰地区为例

在一些俯冲/碰撞造山带中,高压麻粒岩相变质作用通常伴随着广泛的深熔作用。本文以柴北缘超高压变质带都兰地区的基性高压麻粒岩和浅色体为研究对象,在详细的野外观察的基础上,结合岩相学和年代学等研究方法,探讨高压麻粒岩相变质作用与深熔作用的关系及形成机制。从野外关系来看,浅色体主要呈层状、似脉状、补丁状或网络状分布在暗色的基性高压麻粒岩(残留体,residuumormelanosome)中,或与基性高压麻粒岩在露头上互层产出,并显示出混合岩的特征。基性高压麻粒岩主要由石榴子石、单斜辉石、斜长石和石英等矿物组成,在不同样品中还可含有少量蓝晶石、角闪石、金红石、黝帘石/斜黝帘石、黑云母、方柱石、绿泥石;浅色体主要由斜长石、钾长石和石英等矿物组成,一些样品中也含有少量的石榴子石和蓝晶石,与典型的长英质高压麻粒岩的矿物组合特征较为相似。锆石成因年代学结果显示浅色体中既发育深熔锆石,也有变质锆石生长,但两种锆石给出的年龄结果基本一致,其加权平均年龄为434±2Ma(MSWD=1.1),与前人获得的高压麻粒岩相变质作用和深熔作用时代基本一致。因此,综合野外关系、岩相学、地球化学特征及年代学结果,我们推测高压麻粒岩相变质作用及深熔作用可能形成于同一动力学过程,即在俯冲带的上盘环境,(变)基性岩石中的含水矿物(如角闪石、帘石或云母类矿物等)脱水熔融形成高Sr/Y熔体,而基性高压麻粒岩为残留体。     

Neoproterozoic arc sedimentation,metamorphism and collision: Evidence from the northern tip of the Arabian-Nubian Shield and implication for the terminal collision between East and West Gondwana

In the Wadi Um Had area, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt, NE-trending metapelitic and molasse-type successions are exposed. The metasediments bear the geochemical signature of a first depositional cycle in two distinct continental island arc settings that derived from incipiently-to moderately-weathered intermediate to felsic sources under generally warm and humid conditions. The metapelitic succession records three distinct episodes of metamorphism, M₁–M₃, whereas the molasse-type succession records only the last metamorphic episode, M₃. M₁/D₁ records an amphibolite facies tectono-metamorphic event that has been dated at 625 ± 5 Ma, whereas M₂/D₂ records a greenschist facies subduction-related event. Collision of the two domains during a NE–SW shortening D₃, culminated in formation of the macroscopic NW–SE-trending folds. D₂ and D₃ correlate with the gneiss-forming event, which is constrained at <609 Ma, and doming of the nearby Meatiq gneiss dome, respectively. M₃ is a hornblende hornfels facies thermal metamorphism related to the intrusion of the post-orogenic, Neoproterozoic (596.3 Ma) Um Had granite. This study records, for the first time, a tectono-metamorphic phase predating the gneiss-forming event in the Meatiq gneiss dome, and pushes the boundary of the Late Ediacaran terminal collision between East and West Gondwana to ≤600 Ma.
