新疆东天山觉罗塔格地区花岗岩类年代学、构造背景及其成矿作用研究

东天山觉罗塔格地区岩浆岩非常发育,以花岗岩类分布最为广泛,对其研究还较为薄弱。本文对觉罗塔格地区主要的花岗岩类岩体系统开展了地质特征研究并进行了同位素精确测年,报道了区内16个主要花岗岩类岩体的锆石LA-ICPMS U-Pb年龄：镜儿泉岩体376.9±3.1Ma、西凤山岩体349.0±3.4Ma、石英滩岩体342±11Ma、长条山岩体337.4±2.8Ma、天目岩体320.2±3.1Ma、百灵山岩体317.7±3.7Ma、白石泉岩体303±18Ma、迪坎岩体288.0±2.5Ma、黄山岩体288±17Ma、白山东岩体284.5±4.5Ma、管道岩体284.1±5.8Ma、红石岩体282.7±4.2Ma、陇东岩体276.2±2.5Ma、多头山岩体271.7±5.5Ma、双岔沟岩体252.4±2.9Ma、土墩岩体246.2±2.6Ma,上述定年结果为研究区岩浆活动与区域构造演化及深部过程的关系研究提供了可靠的年代学支持。结合前人已有的部分年代学成果认为,觉罗塔格地区花岗岩类的形成年龄分布在386~230Ma之间,岩浆活动可分为晚泥盆世(386.5~369.5Ma)、早石炭世(349~330Ma)、晚石炭世-晚二叠世(320~252Ma)、早中三叠世(246~230Ma)等4个阶段。前3个阶段岩浆活动具有持续时间逐渐变长、岩浆活动逐渐加剧的特点,并在第三阶段达到顶峰,而第四阶段岩浆活动则明显变弱。花岗岩类岩浆活动在时空分布上表现为,自哈尔里克-大南湖岛弧带→阿奇山-雅满岛弧带→康古尔-黄山韧性剪切带,岩体侵位由早到晚; 自研究区东部→中西部→沿韧性剪切带,岩体侵位由老到新。结合区域构造演化研究成果认为,觉罗塔格地区花岗质岩浆活动与区域构造演化具有很强的耦合关系,花岗岩类在前碰撞阶段、主碰撞阶段、后碰撞阶段、板内阶段等4个构造演化阶段均有发育,与花岗岩类在时间分布上的4个阶段完全对应,其中尤以后碰撞构造演化阶段花岗岩类的分布最广泛、岩浆活动最强烈。觉罗塔格地区与4个阶段花岗岩类有关的成矿作用由早到晚具有无明显矿化→斑岩型铜矿、火山岩型铁矿→韧性剪切带型金矿、夕卡岩型银(铜)矿→斑岩-石英脉型钼矿的演化特点,其中以对应于主碰撞阶段的斑岩型铜矿和后碰撞阶段的韧性剪切带型金矿最为发育。本文系统阐述了东天山觉罗塔格地区中酸性岩体的时空格架、与区域构造演化的耦合、与成矿作用的关系,为北疆地区晚古生代特别是后碰撞背景下的岩浆演化及其成矿关系的研究提供了有力支持。

The Devonian magmatism in the Kropotkin Ridge (East Sayan) and sources of basites: geological,geochemical, and Sr-Nd isotope data

In the east of the Tuvinian trough within the Kropotkin Ridge, the formation of Devonian volcanic associations was intimately conjugate with rifting on the southwestern framing of the Siberian Platform. The associations include picrite-like basalts, trachybasalts, basaltic trachyandesites, trachyandesites, trachytes, trachyrhyodacites, trachyrhyolites, comendites, and subvolcanic dolerites. The basic and normal-basic rocks are subdivided into two groups by TiO₂ contents: high-Ti (TiO₂ ～ 2.2–4.2 wt.%) and medium-Ti (TiO₂ ～ 1.3–2.0 wt.%). Compared with the high-Ti basites, the medium-Ti ones are depleted in K, Rb, REE, Nb, Ta, Th, and U and have features of magmatic series of active continental margins. The high-Ti rocks are similar in composition to within-plate basalts. But in the isotopic compositions of Sr and Nd the above groups of basites are similar and correspond to mantle sources forming enriched within-plate basalts of the OIB type. This combination of within-plate and continent-marginal geochemical features in the basites localized in the same structure-geologic conditions might indicate the formation of rock associations in the rift zone at the rear of active continental paleomargin during the evolution of their common plume source. Its interaction with the suprasubductional lithospheric mantle determined the geochemistry of rocks.     

大悟杂岩的形成和抬升时代及其地质意义

大悟杂岩位于大别山西段,主体为花岗质片麻岩。为了限定其形成与变形过程,本文综合运用锆石U-Pb法和白云母~(40) Ar/~(39) Ar法进行年代学研究。锆石U-Pb LA-ICP-MS法对这些花岗质片麻岩定年结果显示:锆石的Th/U值为0.79~4.29,属于典型的岩浆锆石特征;206Pb/238 U的加权平均年龄为(810±63)Ma(n=12,MSWD=0.021),代表这些花岗质片麻岩的形成时代。大悟杂岩核部花岗质片麻岩的白云母坪年龄为(210.5±1.4)Ma,相应的等时线年龄为(211.6±2.5)Ma。这些新的研究结果支持以下两点认识:大悟杂岩中的花岗质片麻岩形成于新元古代,而不是白垩纪;这些前寒武纪岩石的构造抬升过程发生在三叠纪晚期(211 Ma)。由于西大别晚三叠世构造与高压—超高压变质岩的出露过程有关,因此,大悟杂岩的变形与高压—超高压变质岩的抬升之间的关系就成为一个耐人寻味的科学问题。同时,由于大悟杂岩中的多数构造面理和线理形成于区域高压—超高压变质作用之后,据此推断西大别三叠纪晚期的变形发生在造山晚期-后造山背景下,伴随着地壳和岩石圈的大规模伸展与减薄。     

Volcanic-sedimentary complex of Otrozhnaya sheet in the Ust-Belaya Terrane,western Koryakia

New data on the structure and composition of the rock complexes making up the Otrozhnaya sheet of the Ust-Belaya Terrane are discussed. This sheet is currently regarded as a complete section of the Early Devonian oceanic crust. The U-Pb age of zircon (547 ± 17 Ma) from plagiogranite porphyry that cuts through the ultramafic-gabbroic complex indicates that the country rocks are much older. Basalts of volcanic complex are similar to MORB-type rocks. The contact between volcanic and volcano-sedimentary complexes is tectonic. No volcanic-cherty association of rocks typical of ophiolites has been established at the base of the sedimentary sequence. The U-Pb age of detrital zircons from the base of this section is 571 Ma. As follows from the composition of terrigenous rocks and the suprasubduction origin of andesitic lavas and tuffs, the rocks of the lower part of volcano-sedimentary complex were deposited at the marginal part of the basin near convergent boundary. The remains of conodont elements make it possible to estimate the age of the upper part of the volcano-sedimentary complex as Late Devonian. The composition of terrigenous rocks shows that the provenance has abruptly changed. Sporadic rock fragments evidence the erosion of ophiolitic sections. Silurian rocks became the main source of clastic material. This is corroborated by redeposited microfauna species and U-Pb age of detrital zircons (～432 Ma). The geochemistry of dacite pebbles from conglomerate indicates that this volcanic rock was formed in a suprasuduction setting. The Ordovician-Silurian island arc could have been a source.     

青海南山东段花岗岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

青海南山东段花岗岩类岩石类型为二长花岗岩、花岗闪长岩及英云闪长岩。通过高精度LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素测年,获得二长花岗岩、花岗闪长岩的年龄分别为241±3Ma、245±2Ma和249±3Ma,可代表其成岩年龄。花岗岩类构造环境判别图显示,岩石具俯冲型花岗岩类特征,可能代表早三叠世宗务隆洋的北向俯冲过程。通过对青海南山东段侵入岩体形成时代、岩石成因、构造环境等的研究,为青海宗务隆造山带在印支期的构造环境演化和动力学机制提供了重要的依据。     

New data on the stratigraphy,volcanism, and zeolite mineralization of the Cenozoic Vanchinskaya depression in primorye

This paper presents the results of studying the Cenozoic volcanogenic-sedimentary cover of the Vanchinskaya depression of Sikhote Alin. It was established that, in terms of the taxonomic composition of the fossil plants, the basal part of the Cenozoic section is attributed to the Paleocene, while the overlaying coal-bearing sequence, to the Early Eocene. The geochronological (K-Ar) dating showed that the volcanic rocks intruding and overlaying the coal-bearing deposits are Middle Eocene in age: rhyolites—44.7 ± 1.0; trachyandesites—43.7 ± 1.4 Ma. The petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the volcanic and volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks and related zeolitites are described. The zeolitized rocks containing plant detritus differ in their extremely high contents of Y and HREE. The zeolitization of the volcanic glass in tuffs, tuffites, and perlites was caused by hydrothermal solutions that ascended along NW fault zones from the subsurface magmatic chamber.     

青藏高原羌塘中部果干加年山一带晚三叠世花岗岩的特征拉萨市堆龙德庆县却桑地区早中三叠世查曲浦组层序厘定及其构造意义

拉萨却桑地区的原早中三叠世查曲浦组由下部碳酸盐岩和上部火山岩组成,下部碳酸盐岩产丰富的化石,时代为早—中三叠世,上部火山岩无古生物和年代学资料,根据叠置关系作为查曲浦组上部,时代也为早—中三叠世,并且成为该地区经典地层层序而被广泛引用。最近在原查曲浦组上部火山岩段玄武质安山岩中获得248Ma±4Ma的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄,厘定原查曲浦组上部火山岩时代为早三叠世,原查曲浦组存在倒转,火山岩段应位于碳酸盐岩段之下,其下与列龙沟组整合过渡,证明该区二叠系与三叠系是连续沉积的,进一步说明早三叠世该区存在岩浆活动。查曲浦组层序的厘定对探讨冈底斯地区构造演化过程具有重要意义。     

Ages,Sources and Tectonic Settings of the Triassic Igneous Rocks in the Easternmost Segment of the East Kunlun Orogen,Central China

U–Pb analysis of zircons from igneous rocks in the Elashan Mountain, easternmost segment of the East Kunlun Orogen yielded 252–232 Ma. Geochemically, these rocks are mainly high in SiO_2, K_2O and K_2O+Na_2O contents, low in P_2O_5 and TiO_2 contents, depleted in Ba, Sr, P, Ti and enriched in U, Hf, Zr, showing features of I–type granite. The zircon εHf(t) values of the Early Triassic Jiamuge'er rhyolite porphyry(252±3 Ma) are positive(+1.6 to +12.1), suggesting a juvenile crustal source mixing with little old crustal component, and the zircon εHf(t) values of the Middle Triassic Manzhang'gang granodiorite(244±3 Ma) and Dehailong diorite(237±3 Ma) are predominately negative(-8.4 to +1.0), indicating an older crustal source. In comparison, the zircon εHf(t) values of the Late Triassic syenogranites from Suigen'ergang(234±2Ma), Ge'ermugang(233±2 Ma) and Yue'ergen(232±3 Ma) plutons vary from-3.8 to +5.0, suggesting a crust-mantle mixing source. From Early–Middle Triassic(252–237 Ma) to Late Triassic(234–232 Ma), the geochemical characteristics of these rocks show the change from a subduction–collision setting to a post-collision or within-plate setting. By comparing of these new age data with 77 zircon U–Pb ages of igneous rocks of the eastern part of East Kunlun orogen from published literatures, we conclude that the igneous rocks of Elashan Mountain and these of the eastern part of East Kunlun Orogen belong to one magmatic belt. All these data indicate that the Triassic magmatic events of the eastern part of East Kunlun Orogen can be divided into three stages: 252–238 Ma, 238–226 Ma and 226–212 Ma. Statistically, the average εHf(t) values of the threestage igneous rocks show a tendency, from the old to young, from-0.75±0.25 to lower-2.65±0.52 and then to-1.22±0.25, respectively, which reveal the change of their sources. These characteristics can be explained as a crust-mantle mixing source generated in a subductional stage, mainly crust source in a syn–collisional stage and a crust-mantle mixing source(lower crust with mantle-derived underplating magma) in a post-collisional stage. The identification of these three magmatic events in the Elashan Mountain, including all the eastern part of East Kunlun Orogen, provides new evidence for better understanding of the tectonic evolution of the northward subduction and closure of the Paleo-Tethyan(252–238 Ma), the collision of the Songpan–Ganzi block with the southern margin of Qaidam block(238–226 Ma), and the post–collisional setting(226–212 Ma) during the Early Mesozoic period.     

西藏甲鲁朗地区叶巴组火山岩成因及其对新特提斯洋俯冲的约束

西藏冈底斯岩浆弧叶巴组火山岩对于新特提斯洋俯冲时限的制约存在着重要的意义.通过对甲鲁朗地区叶巴组凝灰岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和岩石地球化学组成的研究,锆石测年获得3件凝灰岩样品206Pb/238U年龄加权平均值分别为207.8±1.6 Ma、204.8±1.7 Ma和209.3±3.4 Ma,结合古生物化石证据,表明其形成于晚三叠世;凝灰岩样品富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素(Rb、K、Th、U、Pb),亏损重稀土元素和高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Ti、P),同时亏损Sr元素,Eu负异常较明显.岩石地球化学特征表明叶巴组中酸性岩可能为壳幔混染成因.综合前人研究成果,认为叶巴组形成于新特提斯洋俯冲环境下的大陆边缘弧,新特提斯洋的俯冲从晚三叠世就已经开始.本研究为叶巴组的形成时代以及动力学背景提供了新的制约.

内蒙古狼山地区侏罗系LA-ICP-MS碎屑锆石U-Pb定年及其物源意义

运用碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年和地球化学方法,对内蒙古狼山东升庙和义和久地区侏罗系石拐群物源进行了探讨。通过对111颗有效锆石年龄统计分析可知,年龄峰值以晚古生代(259~308Ma)为主,其次为古元古代(1.74~2.18Ga)和早古元古代—新太古代(2.39~2.58Ga)。晚古生代年龄与狼山大规模出露的海西期岩浆岩年龄一致,古元古代—新太古代年龄与狼山地区古元古代岩浆岩、孔兹岩带年龄分布特征相近。侏罗系砂岩稀土元素配分特征与海西期岩浆岩、乌拉山群、孔兹岩系相似。结合石拐群样品薄片和砾岩分析,认为侏罗系为近源沉积,其物源主要为狼山地区大规模海西期岩浆岩,其次来自河套地区孔兹岩带,狼山地区太古宙乌拉山群、古元古代岩浆岩和早—中三叠世岩浆岩可能提供了部分物源。另外,根据碎屑锆石最年轻年龄为243Ma(中三叠世),结合前人植物化石组合研究及狼山地区整体缺失三叠纪地层的特点,认为该套地层的时代应为早—中侏罗世。狼山地区侏罗系沉积物源模式为南北两侧为隆起物源区,主要物源为北侧狼山隆起,南侧河套隆起向北提供部分物源,不同地区物源存在一定差异。     

内蒙古巴林左旗九井子蛇绿岩锆石U-Pb定年:对西拉木伦河缝合带形成演化的约束

本文对位于西拉木伦河蛇绿岩带东段的九井子蛇绿岩中辉长岩脉以及蛇绿岩的围岩开展了锆石U-Pb定年。结果表明辉长岩的形成时代为(274.7±1.7)Ma,MSWD=0.079,属于早二叠世晚期;结合前人地层、古生物、岩浆岩等方面的资料,表明内蒙古东南部早二叠世晚期还可能存在大洋盆地。与九井子蛇绿岩呈断层接触的粉砂岩碎屑锆石年龄大致构成4个峰值:2350~2700 Ma、1700~2100 Ma、370~470 Ma和250~290 Ma,通过与区域构造热事件的对比分析,表明其物源主要来自中朝古板块的北缘。粉砂岩中最小的锆石年龄为晚二叠世末—早三叠世初((249±4.7)Ma),该年龄与内蒙古东南部海相地层消失的时代、安加拉植物群和华夏植物群出现混生的时代、西伯利亚和中朝古板块古纬度曲线收敛的时代以及区域上与碰撞相关的岩浆岩形成时代大致相同,据此本文认为九井子蛇绿岩的构造侵位时代应为晚二叠世末—早三叠世初,同时也可能代表古亚洲洋的最终闭合时代。     

西藏双湖古近纪唢呐湖组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄与古海拔高度

青藏高原北部古近纪晚期大面积发育唢呐湖组湖相沉积,主要为砖红色、棕色、灰白色泥灰岩、泥岩、粉砂岩互层,夹石膏层和灰岩,广泛出露于羌塘中部、可可西里、东昆仑南部,形成时代为41.1±0.8~32.5!0.3Ma,向可可西里东部过渡为雅西错群。对双湖采坑唢呐湖组上部湖相沉积地层进行详细观测和系统取样,对泥灰岩和粘土岩样品选碎屑锆石作LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素测年,对不同层位泥灰岩、粘土岩、灰岩样品作碳、氧同位素分析,结合区域地质相关资料,良好揭示了碎屑锆石来源、沉积地貌环境及古海拔高度。双湖采坑唢呐湖组碎屑锆石绝大部分为岩浆锆石,统计分析碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄,发现存在4期峰值,分别为280~200Ma、780~830Ma、1920~1790Ma、2600~2360Ma;对比区域地质和岩浆岩测年资料,推断晚二叠世—三叠纪(280~200Ma)碎屑锆石主要来自于羌中隆起岩浆岩,新元古代中期(~800Ma)、古元古代晚期(~1800Ma)、太古宙末期—古元古代初期(~2500Ma)碎屑锆石主要来自于东昆仑造山带。双湖采坑碎屑锆石部分测点U-Pb同位素呈线性分布,交点年龄及谐和年龄为1883!51~1837!12Ma、2483!24~2520!37Ma,对应东昆仑造山带早前寒武纪2期岩浆热事件年龄。根据唢呐湖组湖相沉积空间分布和碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄统计分布,推断青藏高原北部古近纪晚期发育自北向南流动的古水系,古洪流将东昆仑造山带出露地表的前寒武纪基底岩浆锆石自北向南长距离搬运,汇聚于双湖古湖盆并沉积于唢呐湖组。根据双湖采坑唢呐湖组湖相沉积碳同位素和氧同位素,估算双湖古湖盆35~34Ma古海拔高度为3427~3510m,这与应用Airy均衡模式根据地壳厚度和密度变化估算的古海拔高度在误差范围内基本吻合。     

拉萨市堆龙德庆县却桑地区早中三叠世查曲浦组层序厘定及其构造意义

大兴安岭中段乐平统-中三叠统沉积物源分析:来自重矿物组合及碎屑锆石年代学证据

黑龙江西部龙江地区位于中亚造山带东段,黑河-贺根山缝合带与西拉木伦缝合带之间,地层记录了两大古板块之间古亚洲洋闭合过程的信息。本文对龙江地区乐平统林西组和下-中三叠统老龙头组的砂岩样品进行碎屑重矿物和碎屑锆石U-Pb同位素年代学研究。碎屑重矿物组合以锆石+磷灰石+金红石+角闪石+绿帘石+重晶石的组合为特征,表明物源主要来自于中酸性岩浆岩,并有少量变质岩及沉积岩组分。林西组样品最年轻的锆石年龄为278±3Ma,老龙头组样品最年轻的锆石年龄为247±3Ma、243±4Ma及237±3Ma,结合前人的研究,限定了林西组沉积于乐平世,老龙头组沉积于早三叠世-中三叠世。碎屑锆石年龄谱明显分为五组:237～258Ma、270～329Ma、357～558Ma、680～1633Ma及1893～1966Ma。其中237～258Ma的碎屑锆石主要来自与古亚洲洋洋壳消亡前的俯冲增生过程相关的火山活动,270～329Ma的碎屑锆石主要来自大石寨组火山岩及其同期侵入岩,357～558Ma的碎屑锆石来自早古生代-晚古生代早期岩浆弧,680～1633Ma的碎屑锆石可能来自兴安及额尔古纳地块的变质基底,而较古老的～1800Ma的锆石年龄暗示了华北克拉通基底的物源信息。通过研究发现林西组及老龙头组样品前30%年轻的碎屑锆石年龄与地层沉积年龄之差都小于100Ma,结合对砂岩碎屑组成、重矿物组合及盆地与火山弧位置关系的研究,认为研究区乐平世-中三叠世沉积盆地具有汇聚背景,为弧前盆地。     

西藏打加错晚三叠世安山质岩浆作用的锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素

青藏高原南部拉萨地体晚三叠世-早侏罗世时期岩浆活动的地球动力学背景仍是尚待解决的一个重要科学问题。本文报道了南部拉萨地体西部打加错地区新发现的安山玢岩的锆石U-Pb年代学、Hf同位素和全岩地球化学数据。打加错安山玢岩主要由蚀变细粒斜长石、辉石和角闪石组成。2件样品的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果分别为204±4Ma和203±2Ma,表明打加错地区在晚三叠世发生了安山质岩浆活动。结合近期报道的打加错地区辉石角闪二长闪长岩的年龄(207.3±3.6Ma)记录,表明南部拉萨地体西部打加错地区发生了晚三叠世岩浆活动。2件安山玢岩的锆石εHf(t)值多为正值(分别为-2.2~+8.8和-2.0~+10.7),可比于南部拉萨地体中东部其它地区同期岩浆记录的Hf同位素成分(如:工布江达南部203Ma正长花岗岩的锆石εHf(t)为-4.9~+2.7;日喀则东部约205Ma二长花岗岩的锆石εHf(t)为+11.9~+15.8),这表明南部拉萨地体晚三叠世岩浆活动从东工布江达向西延伸到打加错一带,东西延伸约800km。打加错地区2件安山玢岩样品(SiO2=56.1%~59.0%)以较低Mg#(45.8~48.7)和Al2O3含量(16.4%~17.0%)为特征,属于偏铝质钾玄质-高钾钙碱性火山岩。本文获得的新数据,结合最近报道的早侏罗世桑日群岩浆活动记录以及打加错地区上三叠统地层研究新进展,本文更赞成打加错地区和南部拉萨地体其它地区的晚三叠世岩浆活动形成于与班公湖-怒江洋壳南向俯冲有关的弧后环境。     

Ordovician and Cretaceous tectonothermal history of the Southern Gemericum Unit from microprobe monazite geochronology (Western Carpathians,Slovakia)

The Southern Gemericum basement in the Inner Western Carpathians experienced a polyphase regional deformation. Differences in the pre-Alpine and Alpine events have been constantly discussed. To address this, monazites from metapelites and acid metavolcanic rocks were dated using the Th–U–Pb electron microprobe method. Three monazite generations, such as Precambrian, Early Paleozoic, and Alpine, have been recognized in the greenschist facies pelites and acid metavolcanic rocks of the Southern Gemericum basement. Both inherited magmatic monazite grains in metavolcanites and rare relics of detrital monazites within the polyphase monazite grains in metapelites yielded the Precambrian age in the time span of 550–660 Ma. They prove the provenance and derivation from deeper crustal Cadomian fragments. High-Y magmatic monazites of Early Paleozoic age (444 ± 13 and 477 ± 7 Ma) have been recorded in the acid metavolcanites and their metavolcaniclastics. These ages roughly fit within the previously published magmatic zircon age determinations (at 494 ± 1.7 and 464 ± 1.7 Ma) that clearly indicate two-phase volcanic activity in the Early Paleozoic Southern Gemericum basin. The Early Paleozoic magmatic monazites were partly overprinted by the low-Y Alpine monazites (133 ± 5 and 184 ± 16 Ma) at their rims. In Al-rich metapelites, the newly formed low-Y monazites of Alpine age commonly occur, reflecting the polystage compression geodynamic evolution with three distinct peaks at 100 ± 8, 133 ± 5, and 190 ± 16 Ma, respectively. No data as the evidence of the pre-Alpine metamorphic events were observed in metapelites. Only some monazites yield the age indications for the Permian extensional thermal re-heating (260–290 Ma). The monazite age data from the Southern Gemericum basement indicate the strong overprinting due to the polyphase Alpine deformation at least in the greenschist facies conditions.     

The magmatic history of the Vetas-California mining district,Santander Massif,Eastern Cordillera,Colombia

The Vetas-California Mining District (VCMD), located in the central part of the Santander Massif (Colombian Eastern Cordillera), based on U–Pb dating of zircons, records the following principal tectono-magmatic events: (1) the Grenville Orogenic event and high grade metamorphism and migmatitization between ∼1240 and 957 Ma; (2) early Ordovician calc–alkalic magmatism, which was synchronous with the Caparonensis–Famatinian Orogeny (∼477 Ma); (3) middle to late Ordovician post-collisional calc–alkalic magmatism (∼466–436 Ma); (4) late Triassic to early Jurassic magmatism between ∼204 and 196 Ma, characterized by both S- and I-type calc–alkalic intrusions and; (5) a late Miocene shallowly emplaced intermediate calc–alkaline intrusions (10.9 ± 0.2 and 8.4 ± 0.2 Ma). The presence of even younger igneous rocks is possible, given the widespread magmatic–hydrothermal alteration affecting all rock units in the area.The igneous rocks from the late Triassic–early Jurassic magmatic episodes are the volumetrically most important igneous rocks in the study area and in the Colombian Eastern Cordillera. They can be divided into three groups based on their field relationships, whole rock geochemistry and geochronology. These are early leucogranites herein termed Alaskites-I (204–199 Ma), Intermediate rocks (199–198 Ma), and late leucogranites, herein referred to as Alaskites-II (198–196 Ma). This Mesozoic magmatism is reflecting subtle changes in the crustal stress in a setting above an oblique subduction of the Panthalassa plate beneath Pangea.The lower Cretaceous siliciclastic Tambor Formation has detrital zircons of the same age populations as the metamorphic and igneous rocks present in the study area, suggesting that the provenance is related to the erosion of these local rocks during the late Jurassic or early Cretaceous, implying a local supply of sediments to the local depositional basins.     

内蒙古宝音图钼矿成矿岩体地球化学、年代学及成因研究

内蒙古宝音图钼矿是狼山北段大型斑岩石英脉型钼矿床,成矿岩体为斜长花岗岩、二长花岗岩、钾长花岗岩及酸性细晶斑岩株组成的复合岩体,LA-ICP-MS U-Pb上交点年龄2400 Ma,反映花岗岩源区岩石是新太古代到古元古代陆壳变质岩。各岩性锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄测定显示成矿岩体形成于印支期(225.9±4.4)Ma~(237.5±5.9)Ma、(236.8±4.5)Ma~(244.3±4.2)Ma、(247.5±4.4)Ma和(252.1±3.4)Ma~(258.8±3.3)Ma 4个阶段,同位素年龄反映的每个岩浆侵入阶段持续时间长,各侵入阶段间隔时间短。岩浆侵入期不同阶段元素经历了一定分异,各阶段岩石化学组成均显示铝过饱和,富钾特征,以晚期细晶岩K2O/Na2O最高,K2O对Ca O呈反相关关系。与世界主要岩浆岩带微量元素Sr/Ba-Zr/Y的比较显示,其不同于洋壳熔融成因花岗岩,而与燕山带、秦岭带岩浆岩地球化学特征一致,与矿区元古界变质岩围岩地球化学特征比较接近,这些特征显示本区成矿花岗岩是陆壳岩石熔融成因S型花岗岩。
