Proterozoic magmatic and tectonometamorphic evolution of the Taratash complex, Central Urals, Russia

The Taratash Complex (TC) in the northernmost Bashkirian Anticlinorium (Middle Urals) is unique among the pre-Uralian polymetamorphic complexes along the eastern margin of the East European Craton because it experienced granulite facies peak metamorphic conditions (850–900°C/10 kbar). Herein, we constrain the post-granulite facies polystage evolution of the complex, which records various increments of the geodynamic history of the East European continental margin. Formation of granite and migmatite associated with amphibolite facies events are dated at 2,344±29 and 2,044±8 Ma (U–Pb, zircon) in different structural units. At 1,810±41 Ma, the TC was affected by a greenschist facies retrogressive metamorphism which was probably related to a stage of granite formation in the eastern part of the East European Craton. This is confirmed by a U–Pb–zircon age of 1,848±8 Ma obtained from a sheared granite in the adjacent Alexandrovskiy Complex (AC). Greenschist facies shear zones which separate different structural units of the TC formed before 1,350 Ma. Partial re-equilibration of Rb–Sr- and K–Ar-isotope systems between 1,350 Ma and 1,200 Ma is attributed to fluid flow probably induced by anorogenic magmatism in the Bashkirian Anticlinorium. Meso- to Neoproterozoic basaltic dykes indicate that the TC had been exhumed to upper crustal levels at that time. Evidence for a Grenvillian event or for the Timanian orogeny which affected other pre-Uralian complexes in the Urals is lacking. Uralian orogenic shortening and thrusting on Devonian limestones is recorded by shear zones in the AC to the east of the TC and has been dated at 300 Ma (Rb–Sr, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar).     

胶北~2.5Ga岩浆热事件的锆石Hf同位素特征及其对地壳演化的指示意义

位于华北克拉通东缘的胶北地体,被普遍认为是胶-辽-吉带的西南组成部分,经历了多期岩浆-变质热事件,而晚太古宙末期约2.5Ga的岩浆事件是该区最强的岩浆事件;为了确定该期岩浆热事件的性质,本文选取2件形成于约2.5Ga的英云闪长质片麻岩及花岗质片麻岩开展锆石Hf同位素测试分析;总计69个锆石Hf同位素分析点的结果显示,它们均具有正的εHf(t)值,在10.71到3.0之间,平均为6.02,两阶段锆石Hf模式年龄主要分布于2.6～2.9Ga之间,平均为2747Ma,明显大于锆石的207Pb/206Pb年龄,表明约2.5Ga的TTG及花岗质片麻岩主要源于2.6～2.9Ga新生地壳的重熔或再造;另外,一些锆石具有极正的εHf(t)值,它们的锆石Hf模式年龄与U-Pb年龄相近,这暗示在约2.5Ga有亏损地幔物质加入地壳,并发生了即时重熔;根据本次研究获得的锆石Hf同位素数据,结合前人的Nd同位素结果,我们认为胶北地体内约2.5Ga的岩浆活动可能主要表现为与地幔岩浆低侵作用有关的新生地壳的重熔或再造,约2.9Ga和2.7～2.8Ga是胶北地体地壳生长的两个时期,并且与华北克拉通大部分地区一样,2.7～2.8Ga是胶北地体新生地壳形成最重要的时期。     

Chromite composition and platinum-group mineral assemblage in the Uktus Uralian-Alaskan-type complex (Central Urals,Russia)

Chromitite segregations in dunites of the Uktus Uralian-Alaskan-type complex (Central Urals, Russia) display large variation of the chromite composition: Cr/(Cr+Al)=0.46-0.77, Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺+Mg)=0.28-0.66, and Fe³⁺/(Fe³⁺+Fe²⁺)=0.23-0.59. Three types of PGM assemblages have been recognized, varying in accordance with chromite composition: type I, dominated by Ru-Os-Ir (sulfides), is associated with magnesiochromite having Fe³⁺/(Fe³⁺+Fe²⁺)<0.30, in the southern dunite body. Type II, containing abundant Pt-Ir (alloys, minor sulfides), is found in magnesiochromite with Fe³⁺/(Fe³⁺+Fe²⁺)=0.40-0.44; type III, consisting of Ir-Rh-Pt-Pd (alloys, sulfarsenides, antimonides) in Fe-rich chromite having Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺+Mg)=0.66 and Fe³⁺/(Fe³⁺+Fe²⁺)=0.59. Positive anomalies of Ir and Pt, and a negative peak of Ru characterize the PGE patterns of chromitites with type II and III PGM assemblages, whereas a positive Pt anomaly is observed in their dunite host. Intensive fractionation of Pt-Fe alloys in the Uktus chromitites reflects the anomalous behavior of Pt which is decoupled from Rh and Pd. Among other factors, the high iron activity and oxygen fugacity in the parent melt appear to exert a major control on precipitation of Pt-Fe alloys, below sulfur saturation. The strong Pt anomaly in chromitites from Uktus may indicate that Uralian-Alaskan-type magmas were derived from a Pt-rich mantle source.     

The alkaline-carbonatite complex of Jacupiranga (Brazil): Magma genesis and mode of emplacement

A comprehensive study including new field, petrological and geochemical data is reported on the Jacupiranga alkaline-carbonatite complex (133–131 Ma) which, together with other alkaline complexes, occurs in southern Brazil and is coeval with the Paraná CFB province. It consists of a shallow intrusion (ca. 65 km²) in the Precambrian crystalline basement, and can be subdivided in two main diachronous plutonic bodies: an older dunite-gabbro-syenite in the NW and a younger clinopyroxenite-ijolite (s.l.) in the SE, later injected by a carbonatitic core (ca. 1 km²). An integrated petrogenetic model, based on bulk rock major and trace element analyses, mineral chemistry and Sr-Nd-Pb-C isotopic data, suggests that the two silicate intrusions generated from different mantle-derived magmas that evolved at shallow level (2–3 km depth) in two zoned cup-shaped plutonic bodies growing incrementally from independent feeding systems. The first intrusion was generated by OIB-like alkaline to mildly alkaline parental basalts that initially led to the formation of a dunitic adcumulate core, discontinuously surrounded by gabbroic cumulates, in turn injected by subanular syenite intrusive and phonolite dykes. Nephelinitic (± melilite) melts – likely generated deep in the lithosphere at ≥ 3 GPa – were the parental magmas of the second intrusion and gave rise to large coarse-grained clinopyroxenite ad- to meso-cumulates, in turn surrounded, and partially cut, by semi-annular fine-layered melteigite-ijolite-urtite ortho-cumulates. The available isotopic data do not evidence genetic links between carbonatites and the associated silicate intrusions, thus favouring an independent source from the mantle. Moreover, it may be suggested that, unlike gabbro-syenites and carbonatites, mostly generated from lithospheric mantle sources, the parental magmas of the ijolite-clinopyroxenite intrusion also record the influence of sublithospheric (plume-related?) geochemical components.     

福建紫金山地区中生代岩浆岩成因——锆石Hf同位素证据

对福建紫金山地区中生代岩浆岩进行了锆石Hf同位素分析,结果表明中-晚侏罗世与早白垩世岩浆岩具有不同的Hf同位素组成.中-晚侏罗世花岗岩体具有低的εHf(t)值(-13.5～-2.9),Hf同位素的二阶段模式年龄(tDCM)峰值介于1.7～2.0 Ga,表明其主要来源于古元古代基底.早白垩世侵入-次火山岩分为四方花岗闪长岩体和紫金山次火山岩、悦洋次火山岩以及温屋次火山岩.四方岩体εHf(t)值介于-2.3～0.4,tDCM峰值介于1.3～1.4Ga;紫金山次火山岩εHf(t)值变化范围大(-8.9～5.6),tDCM峰值介于1.1～～1.5 Ga,表明两者均形成于中元古代基底和地幔物质混合作用的环境;悦洋和温屋次火山岩具有相对较低的εHf(t)(-2.7～-9.6)和较高的tDCM(峰值为1.4～1.7 Ga),表明二者来源于中-古元古代基底和少量幔源物质的混合物.早白垩世岩浆岩Hf同位素特征显示,紫金山地区的侵入-次火山岩体形成于同一岩浆源区,但岩浆源区随着时间的演化各组分及组分含量在不断变化,显示了该时期复杂的壳幔作用过程.紫金山地区中生代岩浆岩中锆石Hf同位素特征表明,中-晚侏罗世岩体与早白垩世侵入-火山岩来源于不同源区,为古太平洋板块俯冲作用不同阶段的产物.     

云南安宁地区石虎山花岗岩年代学、地球化学特征和锆石Hf同位素组成及其成因

石虎山花岗岩岩体位于安宁市德滋村附近,本文对该岩体开展了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年、岩石地球化学、锆石Hf同位素组成研究。结果获得(616±20) Ma的岩浆结晶年龄和(839±17) Ma、(766±15) Ma、(705.5±9.4) Ma的继承性年龄,说明岩体形成于新元古代埃迪卡拉纪;其中(839±17) Ma、(766±15) Ma、(705.5±9.4) Ma的继承性年龄组合可能是Rodinia超大陆裂解构造过程的记录,839 Ma、616 Ma可能是Rodinia超大陆在扬子板块西缘开始裂解与最终裂解时限。花岗岩主量、微量元素特征显示,其产生于伸展环境的高硅、过铝、高钾的A型花岗岩;锆石ε_(Hf)(t)值均小于0,在t-t(Ma)和t-(~(176)Hf/~(177)Hf)图上,所有样品点均落在上地壳演化线之上,二阶段模式年龄变化范围为1.77～2.31 Ga,结合Nb/Y—Rb/Y图解,表明成岩物质主要来源于古元古代古老下地壳页岩60%部分熔融。     

Manganese deposits in northeastern European Russia and the Urals: Isotope geochemistry,genesis, and evolution of ore formation

Based on new data on the lithology, mineralogy, chemistry, and isotopic composition of manganese carbonate ores and rocks at the deposits and occurrences in the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago, the Pai-Khoi, and the Urals, as well as using data from the literature, the main Phanerozoic basins of manganese deposition have been established in the geological history of Laurasia, Pangea, and Siberian paleocontinents. The formation conditions of manganese ore gradually changed from hydrothermal-sedimentary in the Middle Paleozoic to sedimentary-diagenetic in Mesozoic and Cenozoic. The ore was also formed under catagenetic conditions. Carbon of oxidized organic matter plays a substantial role in the formation of manganese carbonates.     

宁芜地区中生代富钾和富钠火山岩的源区特征:岩石学和地球化学证据

宁芜中生代火山盆地广泛产出早白垩世中基性火山岩,钾质岩石主要为龙王山组英安岩、粗安岩,钠质火山岩主要为大王山组玄武粗安岩、粗安岩、英安岩以及钠质安山玢岩类。钠质辉石安山玢岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为128.9±1.9Ma,为早白垩世产物。稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分曲线均表现为一致的平缓右倾型式,Eu负异常不明显,富集大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素,具Nb、Ta的负异常。钾质龙王山组火山岩总体Cs、Rb、Ba、Th、U等LILE含量较钠质大王山组火山岩和钠质安山玢岩高,并具有较高的Si、K,较低的Ca、Mg,高Rb/Sr,高Isr(0.70521~0.70857);钠质火山岩具有较低的Si、富Na、高Sr、低I_(sr)(0.70544~0.70768),Mg~#相对较高。钠质辉石闪长玢岩斑晶中有斜长石的矿物结构和成分不平衡现象,锆石Hf同位素特征为ε_(Hf)(t)=-6.2~+0.6,变化较大,指示岩浆混合过程。地幔源区可能是由中元古代俯冲板块释放出流体发生交代作用后形成的富集地幔,钾质火山岩地幔源区交代矿物可能以金云母为主,崆岭群TTG片麻岩为其地壳端元。而钠质火山岩地幔源区交代矿物可能以角闪石和单斜辉石为主,中元古上溪群变质基性岩或新生下地壳基性岩为其地壳端元。     

Trace elements in minerals as indicators of the evolution of alkaline ultrabasic dike series: LA-ICP-MS data for the magmatic provinces of northeastern Fennoscandia and Germany

In this paper we report the results of the analysis of rare earth (REE), large-ion lithophile (LILE), and high field strength (HFSE) elements in minerals from the alkaline lamprophyre dikes of the Kola region and the Kaiserstuhl province by the local method of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The contents of Y, Li, Rb, Ba, Th, U, Ta, Nb, Sr, Hf, Zr, Pb, Be, Sc, V, Cr, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Ga, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu were measured in olivine, melilite, clinopyroxene, amphibole, phlogopite, nepheline, apatite, perovskite, and the host fine-grained groundmass. The obtained data on trace element partitioning among the mineral phases of the alkaline ultrabasic rocks of the dike series indicate that the main mineral hosts for the HFSEs and REEs in alkaline picrites, olivine melanephelinites, and melilitites are perovskite and apatite comprising more than 90% of these elements. Among major rock-forming minerals, melilite, clinopyroxene, and highly magnesian amphibole make a significant contribution to the balance of REEs during the evolution of melanephelinite melts. The partition coefficients of Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Sc, V, Cr, Ga, Y, Li, Rb, Ba, Th, U, Ta, Nb, Sr, Hf, Zr, Pb, Be, and all of the REEs were calculated for olivine, clinopyroxene, amphibole, phlogopite, nepheline, perovskite, and apatite on the basis of mineral/groundmass ratios. Variations in the composition of complex zoned clinopyroxene phenocrysts reflect the conditions of polybaric crystallization of melanephelinite melt, which began when the magmas arrived at the base of the lower crust and continued during the whole period of their ascent to the surface. The formation of green cores in clinopyroxene is an indicator of mixing between primary melanephelinite melts and phonolite magmas under upper mantle conditions. The estimation of the composition of primary melts for the rocks of the alkaline ultrabasic series of the Kola province indicated a single primary magma for the whole series. This magma produced pyroxene cumulates and complementary melilitolites, foidolites, and nepheline syenites.     

Sequence of magmatic events in the Late Paleozoic of Transbaikalia,Russia (U-Pb isotope data)

The Late Paleozoic intrusive rocks, mostly granitoids, totally occupy more than 200,000 km² on the territory of Transbaikalia. Isotopic U-Pb zircon dating (about 30 samples from the most typical plutons) shows that the Late Paleozoic magmatic cycle lasted for 55–60 m.y., from ~330 Ma to ~275 Ma. During this time span, five intrusive suites were emplaced throughout the region. The earliest are high-K calc-alkaline granites (330–310 Ma) making up the Angara–Vitim batholith of 150,000 km² in area. At later stages, formation of geochemically distinct intrusive suites occurred with total or partial overlap in time. In the interval of 305–285 Ma two suites were emplaced: calc-alkaline granitoids with decreased SiO₂ content (the Chivyrkui suite of quartz monzonite and granodiorite) and the Zaza suite comprising transitional from calc-alkaline to alkaline granite and quartz syenite. At the next stage, in the interval of 285–278 Ma the shoshonitic Low Selenga suite made up of monzonite, syenite and alkali rich microgabbro was formed; this suite was followed, with significant overlap in time (281–276 Ma), by emplacement of Early Kunalei suite of alkaline (alkali feldspar) and peralkaline syenite and granite. Concurrent emplacement of distinct plutonic suites suggests simultaneous magma generation at different depth and, possibly, from different sources. Despite complex sequence of formation of Late Paleozoic intrusive suites, a general trend from high-K calc-alkaline to alkaline and peralkaline granitoids, is clearly recognized. New data on the isotopic U-Pb zircon age support the Rb-Sr isotope data suggesting that emplacement of large volumes of peralkaline and alkaline (alkali feldspar) syenites and granites occurred in two separate stages: Early Permian (281–278 Ma) and Late Triassic (230–210 Ma). Large volumes and specific compositions of granitoids suggest that the Late Paleozoic magmatism in Transbaikalia occurred successively in the post-collisional (330–310 Ma), transitional (305–285 Ma) and intraplate (285–275 Ma) setting.     

滇西梁河三叠纪花岗岩的锆石微量元素、U-Pb和Hf同位素组成

在详细的区域地质调查基础上,分析了滇西梁河三叠纪花岗岩中锆石微区微量元素、U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素。花岗岩中大部分锆石具有振荡环带,为典型岩浆锆石,并发现独特的双核结构锆石,具有核幔边结构,双核锆石继承核与本文岩浆锆石有类似的微量元素特征,而双核锆石增生边(低轻稀土、轻微负Ce异常、高重稀土、低Th、高U、Ti、P)与它们不同。注意到双核锆石外围有一圈灰白色热液蚀变边,认为双核锆石增生边的微量元素特征可能是自身结晶生长过程和后期蚀变影响的综合结果,继承核和增生边同为岩浆成因。双核锆石继承核的206Pb/238U年龄分别为302.5±2.9Ma和289.9±2.5Ma,双核锆石增生边和其他岩浆锆石的206Pb/238U加全平均年龄为213.1±1.7Ma(MSWD=7.7),晚三叠世花岗岩的锆石具有负的εHf(213Ma)值(-9.6～-6.7),并且其tDM2Hf值(1.6～1.8Ga)远大于其结晶年龄,结合大地构造演化,认为花岗岩的形成可能与后碰撞伸展背景下古老地壳熔融相关。     

Palladium and gold minerals from the Baronskoe-Kluevsky ore deposit (Volkovsky complex, Central Urals, Russia)

Summary Drill cores from the newly discovered Baronskoe-Kluevsky Pd–Au deposit (Volkovsky massif, Central Urals) have been investigated by reflected-light and electron microscopy, and the ore minerals were analyzed by electron microprobe. The most abundant Platinum-group mineral (PGM) is vysotskite, ideally PdS, characterized by an unusual Pt,Ni-poor composition. Palladium also occurs in kotulskite (PdTe), stillwaterite (Pd₈As₃), and unknown Pd–As–Te compounds with vincentite-type Pd₃(As,Te), stillwaterite-type Pd₈(As,Te)₃, and Pd₇(As,Te)₂ stoichiometries. The main carrier of Au is Pd-rich electrum, approaching the composition Au₇₅Ag₁₅Pd₁₀, with minor Fe, Cu, Ni and Pt. The precious minerals are closely associated with minute blebs of chalcopyrite+magnetite disseminated throughout serpentinized olivine-apatite host rock. Paragenetic relationships among the ore minerals define a succession of crystallization events in the order: 1) Cu–Pd sulfides+electrum, 2) replacement by Pd–Te–As and late Pd–As PGM, 3) final replacement by magnetite. The paragenesis is tentatively related with cooling of a fluid phase in the late- to post-magmatic stage.     

浑善达克沙地的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成及其源区意义

通过对浑善达克沙地末次冰盛期（LGM）以来沙样的碎屑锆石原位U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成的分析,并与周围可能源区的岩石年龄和Hf同位素组成进行对比,发现浑善达克沙样的U-Pb年龄主要可以分为3组（2.6～2.3 Ga,2.2～1.6 Ga和显生宙100～500 Ma）.其中较老的两组和具有负εHf（T）值的显生宙锆石可能来源于华北克拉通北部的燕山褶皱带,而具有正εHf（T）值的显生宙锆石可能来源于中亚造山带东部.现代沙和LGM沙具有相同的锆石U-Pb年龄谱和εHf（T）组成特征.同时,与蒙古中南部和塔里木中部沙样进行对比,发现蒙古中南部沙样主要来源于中亚造山带的显生宙高山,而塔克拉玛干沙漠在锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成上与浑善达克沙地存在较大的差异,表明西部的大沙漠对东部沙地的贡献很小.     

河南祁雨沟金成矿系统辉钼矿Re-Os年龄和锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素地球化学

河南祁雨沟金矿位于秦岭造山带最北部,属典型的角砾岩筒型成矿系统。矿区16号角砾岩筒下伏斑岩体锆石的ε_Hf(t)值为-10.50~-14.43,Hf模式年龄为2.57~2.93Ga,表明花岗斑岩主要来源于古老下地壳的部分熔融。锆石LA-ICPMS U-Pb年龄为134.1±2.3Ma,与7号角砾岩筒中的辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄135.6±5.6Ma一致。这些年龄数据与熊耳山地区燕山期花岗岩体的侵位年龄基本相同,共同指示其形成于地壳缩短增厚之后的伸展减薄过程。熊耳地体的地壳缩短增厚缘于同碰撞时期沿马超营断裂带的A型俯冲作用,而A型俯冲导致了包括祁雨沟金矿系统、燕山期花岗岩类和脉状造山型矿床在内的熊耳矿集区的形成。     

Carbon isotope chemostratigraphy and implications of palaeoclimatic changes during the Cisuralian (Early Permian) in the southern Urals,Russia

In order to meet the requirements for potential GSSPs in the Cisuralian Series (Early Permian), isotopic chemostratigraphy from the Carboniferous/Permian boundary to middle Artinskian using bulk carbonates was investigated under high-resolution biostratigraphical and new geochronologic constrains from three GSSP candidate sections at Usolka, Kondurovsky and Dal'ny Tulkas in the southern Urals, Russia. A gradually increasing trend in carbonate carbon isotope (δ¹³C) has been observed in the interval from the base of Asselian to early Sakmarian, which is generally consistent in timing with the increasing development of Glacial III or P1 from the latest Carboniferous to early Sakmarian (Early Permian) which prevailed in southern Gondwana. An excursion with double negative shifts in δ¹³C value is present around the Asselian/Sakmarian boundary in both the Usolka and Kondurovsky sections, which may have great potential to serve as chemostratigraphical marks for intercontinental correlation. The following highly positive excursion of δ¹³C in early Sakmarian indicates the maximium expansion of Glacial III or P1. The negative δ¹³C shift in the middle Sakmarian is possibly related to the quick collapse of Glacial III or P1 on the Gondwanaland. This negative shift is largely correlative with those documented in other areas of Russia, the North American Craton and South China, but further precise biostratigraphical and geochronologic constrains are neccessary to confirm this global signal. The late Sakmarian is characterized by a strong oscillation stage of δ¹³C, which probably indicates a complex climate transition marked by smaller alternating glacial–interglacial transitions during Glacial P2 superimposed on an overall warming trend. The sharp negative δ¹³C shift around the Sakmarian/Artinskian boundary at the Dal'ny Tulkus section is difficult to interpret. This is followed by long-term low values (<?10‰) during the most part of Artinskian Stage. We suggest that the deeply depleted δ¹³C values in the Artinskian at the Dal'ny Tulkas section might result regionally from the enhanced input of organic carbon after the melt-out of ice sheets and the subsequent degradation and isotopic refractionation of the microbial chemosynthetic processes on the buried organic matter.     

东准噶尔早二叠世后碰撞岩浆活动:蕴都卡拉流纹岩SHRIMP U-Pb年代学、地球化学和Hf同位素的制约

东准噶尔扎河坝地区发育的大规模古生代中晚期中酸性火山岩的岩浆源区、岩石成因和构造环境以及年代学迄今尚未得到很好的约束,对上述问题的深入分析有助于揭示东准噶尔晚古生代的岩浆作用过程及中亚地壳生长方式.野外地质考察得出,东准噶尔蕴都卡拉地区展现北东-南西向区域性挤压构造变形,原巴塔玛依内山组为一套基性岩、中酸性岩以及火山碎屑岩组合.本文报道了东准噶尔扎河坝地区蕴都卡拉流纹岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年代学、全岩地球化学和锆石Hf同位素分析结果.3个流纹岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年结果共同指示,蕴都卡拉流纹岩形成于276.0～ 279.8Ma.流纹岩高硅(SiO2=60.61％ ～ 78.07％)高碱(K2O+ Na2O=6.46％ ～9.28％),高Fe2O3T (0.70％ ～3.30％)、Ga/Al,低CaO(0.18％～2.79％)、MgO(0.13％～1.31％),富集轻稀土和高场强元素(Zr、Hf),亏损Ba、Sr、Eu,弱亏损Nb、Ta,具有A型过铝质中-高钾钙碱性花岗岩的特征.锆石具有正的εHf(t) (10.3～14.6)和年轻的地壳模式年龄(348～557Ma),表明其可能来源于年轻的下地壳物质的重熔.综合东准噶尔区域地质资料以及前人对本区蛇绿岩带的研究得出,蕴都卡拉地区在早二叠世处于伸展环境,该流纹岩可能是弧-弧或弧-陆后碰撞伸展背景下,软流圈物质上涌过程中造成年轻下地壳发生部分熔融产生的酸性岩浆在上升、侵位的过程中的产物,同时表明垂向生长在中亚造山带早二叠世地壳生长过程中占主导地位.     

The Talgan massive sulfide deposit, the southern Urals, Russia, as an example of subseafloor ore deposition from magmatic fluid

The sequence of orebody formation at the Talgan massive sulfide deposit; morphology of sulfide orebodies; mineralogy, texture, and structure of ore; chemical composition of minerals; and fluid inclusions and relationships between stable isotopes (S, C, O) in sulfides from ores and carbonate rocks are discussed. The deposit is localized in the Uzel’ga ore field of the northern Magnitogorsk Megazone. The sulfide ore is hosted in the upper felsic sequence of the Middle Devonian Karamalytash Formation, composed of basalt, basaltic andesite, and rhyodacite. Orebodies are irregular lenses lying conformably with host rocks. Pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and fahlore are the major ore minerals; galena, bornite, and hematite are of subordinate abundance. Sulfide mineralization bears attributes of deposition under subseafloor conditions. The carbonate and rhyolite interlayers at the roofs of orebodies and the supraore limestone sequence served as screens. Zoning typical of massive sulfide deposits was not established. The study of fluid inclusions has shown that the temperature of the hydrothermal solution varied from 375 to 110°C. δ³⁴S‰ ranges from ?2.4 to +3.2‰ in pyrite, from ?1.2 to +2.8‰ in chalcopyrite, and from ?3.5 to +3.0‰ in sphalerite (CDT). These parameters correspond to an isotopic composition of magmatic sulfur without a notable percentage of sulfate sulfur. δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O of carbonates vary from ?18.1 to +5.9‰ (PDB) and from +13.7 to +27.8‰ (SMOW), respectively. The carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonates from ores and host rocks markedly deviate from the field of marine carbonates; a deep source of carbon is suggested. The results obtained show that the main mass of polysulfide ore at the Talgan deposit was formed beneath the floor of a paleoocean. The ore-forming system was short-lived and its functioning did not give rise to the formation of zonal orebodies. Magmatic fluid played the leading role in mineral formation.     

广东新丰新坪花岗闪长岩(104 Ma)地球化学、锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素研究

新坪铜钼矿化花岗闪长岩体位于佛冈复式岩体中北部,LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为（104.6±1.8）Ma（MSWD=1.2）,侵位时间为早白垩世晚期。岩石呈中酸性（SiO₂=63.43%~65.27%）、准铝质（ACNK=0.76~0.92）、中等碱含量（ALK=6.09%~7.63%）和富钾钙碱性特征,富集轻稀土,LREE/HREE=8.26~13.20,（La/Yb）_N=8.17~16.64,轻微的铕亏损（δEu=0.73~0.87）,富集Rb、U、Th和La,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti和P、Ba、Sr。锆石ε_Hf（t）值为-3.0~0.2,Hf二阶段模式年龄t_DM2=1.16~1.36Ga,镁指数（Mg^#）=42.64~46.95,表明源岩主要为中元古代地壳物质,并有亏损地幔组分的参与。Nb/U和Nb/La比值分别为0.20~0.38和1.7~2.2,显示源区受古太平洋板块俯冲流体交代作用的影响。研究表明,新坪岩体成岩过程主要受部分熔融作用控制,形成于燕山晚期古太平洋板片俯冲消减作用下的伸展拉张环境,与玄武质岩浆底垫诱发中元古代结晶基底的部分熔融有关。早白垩世晚期为中国东南部晚中生代重要的Cu-Au-Mo成矿期,位于南岭中东段的新坪花岗闪长岩体与邻区闽西南紫金山铜多金属岩（矿）体形成时代一致、岩石地球化学特征较为相似,且野外能观察到明显的铜钼矿化,因此具有较好的铜钼找矿前景。     

The Gumeshevo skarn-porphyry copper deposits in the Central Urals,Russia: Evolution of the ore-magmatic system as deduced from isotope geochemistry (Sr,Nd, C,O, H)

The Early Devonian Gumeshevo deposit is one of the largest ore objects pertaining to the dioritic model of the porphyry copper system paragenetically related to the low-K quartz diorite island-arc complex. The (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_t and (ɛ_Nd)_t of quartz diorite calculated for t = 390 Ma are 0.7038–0.7045 and 5.0–5.1, respectively, testifying to a large contribution of the mantle component to the composition of this rock. The contents of typomorphic trace elements (ppm) are as follows: 30–48 REE sum, 5–10 Rb, 9–15 Y, and 1–2 Nb. The REE pattern is devoid of Eu anomaly. Endoskarn of low-temperature and highly oxidized amphibole-epidote-garnet facies is surrounded by the outer epidosite zone. Widespread retrograde metasomatism is expressed in replacement of exoskarn and marble with silicate (chlorite, talc, tremolite)-magnetite-quartz-carbonate mineral assemblage. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of epidote in endoskarn and carbonate in retrograde metasomatic rocks (0.7054–0.7058 and 0.7053–0.7065, respectively) are intermediate between the Sr isotope ratios of quartz dioritic rocks and marble (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.70784 ± 2). Isotopic parameters of the fluid equilibrated with silicates of skarn and retrograde metasomatic rocks replacing exoskarn at 400°C are δ¹⁸O = +7.4 to +8.5‰ and δD = −49 to −61‰ (relative to SMOW). The δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O of carbonates in retrograde metasomatic rocks after marble are −5.3 to +0.6 (relative to PDB) and +13.0 to +20.2% (relative to SMOW), respectively. Sulfidation completes metasomatism, nonuniformly superimposed on all metasomatic rocks and marbles with formation of orebodies, including massive sulfide ore. The δ³⁴S of sulfides is 0 to 2‰ (relative to CDT);⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr of calcite from the late calcite-pyrite assemblage replacing marble is 0.704134 ± 6. The δ¹³C and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr of postore veined carbonates correlate positively (r = 0.98; n = 6). The regression line extends to the marble field. Its opposite end corresponds to magmatic (in terms of Bowman, 1998b) calcite with minimal δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O, and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr values (−6.9 ‰, +6.7‰, and 0.70378 ± 4, respectively). The aforementioned isotopic data show that magmatic fluid was supplied during all stages of mineral formation and interacted with marble and other rocks, changing its Sr, C, and O isotopic compositions. This confirms the earlier established redistribution of major elements and REE in the process of metasomatism. A contribution of meteoric and metamorphic water is often established in quartz from postore veins.     

Oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions as indicators of granite genesis in the New England Batholith,Australia

Oxygen and hydrogen isotope studies of a number of granite suites and mineral separates from the New England Batholith indicate that O¹⁸ can be used to discriminate the major granite protoliths. The granite suites previously subdivided on the basis of mineralogical and geochemical criteria into S-type (sedimentary) and I-type (igneous) have O¹⁸ values consistently higher in the S-type granites (10.4–12.5) than in the spatially related I-type plutons (7.7–9.9). There appears to be a systematic variation in O¹⁸ from the most S-type to the most I-type granites, the dividing point between the two occuring at O¹⁸ equal to 10. A group of leucocratic granites that form about half of the batholith and difficult to classify mineralogically and geochemically is found to have low O¹⁸ values (6.4–8.1), suggesting an affinity to the most I-type granites. A single leucogranite pluton with minor muscovite has a O¹⁸ of 9.6 which is significantly higher than other leucogranites indicating a different origin perhaps involving amphibole fractionation.The behavior of D in the plutonic rocks is much less systematic than O¹⁸. Excluding samples collected adjacent to major faults, the D values show a rough positive correlation with water content similar to, but less pronounced than, the trend previously observed in the Berridale Batholith, southeastern Australia. This relation is considered to reflect an interaction between meteoric water and the granites, the largest effect being observed in samples with the least amount of water. Of note is the generally lower D values of the upper Paleozoic New England Batholith compared with the Silurian Berridale Batholith. This difference may be related to a near equatorial paleolatitude of 22 °S in the Silurian and near polar paleolatitudes in the late Carboniferous that have been inferred for these regions. Granite samples collected from near major faults, and one ignimbrite sample of rhyodacite composition, have very low D values (less than –120) suggesting a much greater degree of interaction with meteoric water.
