四川攀西红格矿区辉长岩和正长岩的SHRIMP U-Pb和Sm-Nd定年及其地质意义

用SHRIMP U-Pb和Sm-Nd定年技术,对攀西红格矿区含矿层状辉长岩、碱性正长岩进行了年龄测定。获得红格辉长岩中3种不同晶形锆石的U-Pb年龄分别为258.4±4.1Ma、1841±34Ma、2487±12Ma,由辉长岩、辉石和磷灰石所构成的Sm-Nd等时线年龄为253±14Ma;碱性正长岩中锆石的U-Pb年龄为257.2±1.5Ma。结果表明,红格辉长岩中具有典型基性岩锆石特征的锆石U-Pb年龄(258Ma)与同一地质样品的Sm-Nd年龄(全岩+矿物内部等时线年龄),以及同一矿区的正长岩锆石U-Pb年龄在测定误差范围内一致。鉴于层状辉长岩和碱性正长岩在空间上密切共生,在形成时间上一致,可以认为它们都属于晚二叠世末岩浆活动的产物;而1841Ma和2487Ma的锆石,可能是在基性-超基性岩浆的上侵过程中,从基底所捕获的岩浆锆石和继承锆石,其年龄信息,揭示了康滇地轴岩浆岩带的下部或结晶基底存在元古代甚至新太古代末期的岩石或物质。     

内蒙古北山额济纳旗小红山钒钛磁铁矿床SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年及其意义

小红山钒钛磁铁矿床是近年内蒙古北山地区新发现的一个中型钒钛磁铁矿床,含矿辉长岩体侵位于蓟县系平头山组,岩体具全岩矿化,工业矿体主要赋存于中粗粒辉长岩中。采用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年方法对小红山中粗粒辉长岩体进行了年代学研究,获得该岩体的锆石微区原位SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为424±6Ma,表明小红山钒钛磁铁矿成岩成矿事件发生于中志留世。该时期钒钛磁铁矿床的发现,揭示了北山地区早古生代处于陆缘裂谷环境,这对研究和认识北山地区地质构造演化及开展岩浆矿床找矿具有重要意义。

The Yermakovsky beryllium deposit,Western Transbaikal region,Russia: Geochronology of igneous rocks

The sequence of rock and ore formation at the Yermakovsky beryllium deposit is established on the basis of geological relationships and Rb-Sr and U-Pb isotopic dating. The Rb-Sr age of amphibolitefacies regional metamorphism is determined for quartz-biotite-plagioclase schist (266 ± 18 Ma) and dolomitized limestone (271 ± 12 Ma) of the Zun-Morino Formation. The U-Pb zircon age of premineral gabbro is 332 ± 1 Ma. The Rb-Sr age of gabbro is somewhat younger (316 ± 8.3 Ma), probably owing to the effect of Hercynian metamorphism on sedimentary rocks of the Zun-Morino Formation and gabbroic intrusion that cuts through it. The U-Pb zircon age of gneissose granite of the Tsagan Complex at the Yermakovsky deposit is 316 ± 2 Ma, i.e., close to the age of metamorphism superimposed on gabbro rocks. The U-Pb zircon age of preore granitic dikes, estimated at 325 ± 3 and 333 ± 10 Ma, is close to the age of gabbro. The Ar/Ar age of amphibole from a granitic dike (302.5 ± 0.9 Ma) probably displays a later closure of this isotopic system or the effect of superimposed processes. The Rb-Sr age of alkali syenite intrusion is 227 ± 1.9 Ma. The U-Pb zircon age of alkali leucogranite stock pertaining to the Lesser Kunalei Complex is 226 ± 1 Ma, while the Rb-Sr age of beryllium ore is 225.9 ± 1.2 Ma. These data indicate that beryllium ore mineralization is closely related in space and time to igneous rocks of the Lesser Kunalei Complex dated at 224 ± 5 Ma and varying from gabbro to alkali granite in composition. Thus, the preore Hercynian magmatism at the Yermakovsky deposit took place ∼330 Ma ago and was completed by metamorphism dated at 271–266 Ma. The ore-forming magmatism and beryllium ore mineralization are dated at 224 ± 5 Ma. Postore magmatic activity is scarce and probably correlated with tectonic melange of host rocks.     

Lu-Hf garnet geochronology of eclogites from the Balma Unit (Pennine Alps): implications for Alpine paleotectonic reconstructions

Three samples of eclogite from the Balma Unit, an ophiolite sheet on top of the Monte Rosa Nappe in the Pennine Alps, were investigated in terms of their P-T evolution, geochemistry, and Lu-Hf geochronology. The paleogeographic origin of this unit is controversial (North Penninic vs. South Penninic). It has been interpreted as a piece of Late Cretaceous oceanic crust, on the basis of ca. 93 Ma U-Pb SHRIMP ages of synmagmatic zircon cores in an eclogite. Trace element and isotope data suggest a mid ocean ridge (MOR) rather than an intraplate or OIB setting for the protoliths of the eclogites. Electron microprobe analyses of representative garnets show typical prograde zoning profiles. Estimated peak metamorphic temperatures of 550–600 Cº most likely did not exceed the closure temperature of the Lu-Hf system. Hence, Lu-Hf ages most likely reflect garnet growth in the studied samples. To minimize inclusion effects on age determinations, a selective digestion procedure for garnet was applied, in which zircon and rutile inclusions are not dissolved. The ages obtained for three samples, 42.3 ± 0.6 Ma (MSWD: 0.47), 42 ± 1 Ma (MSWD: 3.0) and 45.5 ± 0.3 Ma (MSWD: 0.33), are younger than all Lu-Hf ages reported so far for South Penninic Units. Metamorphic zircon domains of the 42.3 Ma sample (PIS1) were previously dated by U-Pb SHRIMP at 40.4 ± 0.7 Ma, indicating that the growth of metamorphic zircon post-dated the onset of garnet growth.These new data put important constraints on the paleogeographic reconstruction of the Alps. The MORB character of the rocks, together with their previously published protolith age, imply that oceanic spreading was still taking place in the Late Cretaceous. This supports a North Penninic origin for our samples because plate tectonic models predict Cretaceous spreading in the North Penninic but not in the South Penninic Ocean. If the Balma Unit is indeed North Penninic, the new Lu-Hf data, in combination with published geochronological data, require that two independent subduction zones consumed the South and North Penninic oceans.     

西藏加多捕勒铁铜矿床晚白垩世岩浆活动成因

加多捕勒铁铜矿床位于冈底斯Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu-Fe成矿带西段。矿区出露的复式岩体由黑云二长花岗岩(50.9±1.8Ma)和石英二长闪长岩组成。本文以石英二长闪长岩为研究对象,分析了岩体地球化学特征、SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄以及原位锆石Hf同位素与稀土元素。分析结果显示石英二长闪长岩具岛弧岩浆活动特征,锆石U-Pb年龄84.3±1.4Ma,为晚白垩世岩浆活动产物,锆石Hf同位素与稀土元素指示岩浆源区具壳幔混源特征,且以古老地壳物质的部分熔融为主。综合分析已有研究成果及本文数据,笔者认为矿区晚白垩世岩浆活动可能与低缓角度俯冲的新特提斯洋壳有关。     

SHRIMP Ion Microprobe Zircon U—Pb Age and Sm—Nd Isotopic Characteristics oof the NE Jiangxi Ophiolite and Its Tectonic Implications

The new SHRIMP zircon U-Pb isotopic study suggests that the crystallization age of a highly fractionated magma in the NE Jiangxi ophiolite suite is 968±23 Ma. Re-calculated Sm-Nd isochron age of 955±44 Ma is within analytical errors. consistent with the zircon U-Pb age. With the exception of two anomalous Sm-Nd data, the remaining 15 analyses so far obtained for the ophiolite gave^εNd (T) values falling into a limited range from +4.3 to +6.7, indicating that the ophiolite was derived from a relatively strongly depleted mantle source. Sm-Nd isotopic systematics in some samples may have been strongly affected by post-magmatic events, such as alteration, deformation and metamorphism, resulting in anomalous^εNd (T) values. Combined with published⁴⁰Ar³⁹Ar age data, it can be concluded that the collision between the Yangtze and South China Blocks occurred during 0.97-0.80 Ga. This work was financially supported by the President Grant of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.     

Neoproterozoic collisional S-type granitoids of the Yenisei Ridge: petrogeochemical composition and U-Pb,Ar-Ar,and Sm-Nd isotope data

Collisional granitoid magmatism caused by the Early Neoproterozoic orogeny in the west of the Siberian craton is considered. New data on the petrogeochemical composition, U-Pb (SHRIMP II), Ar-Ar, and Sm-Nd isotopic ages of the Middle Tyrada granitoid massif in the northwestern Yenisei Ridge are presented. Plagiogranites, granodiorites, and quartz diorites of the massif are of calcareous and calc-alkalic composition. The elevated alumina contents and presence of accessory garnet permit them to be assigned to S-type granitoids. Their spidergrams show Rb, Ba, and Th enrichment, minimum Nb, P, and Ti contents, and no Sr depletion. The granitoids formed through the melting of plagioclase-enriched graywacke source, obviously Paleoproterozoic metaterrigenous rocks of the Garevka Formation and Teya Group (T_Nd(DM) = 2.0-2.5 Ga), judging from the isotope composition of the granitoids (T_Nd(DM-2st) = 2200 Ma and 8_Nd(T) = − 6.0) and the presence of ancient zircon cores (1.80-1.85 Ga). Formation of granitoids took place in the final epoch of the Grenville collision events in the late Early Neoproterozoic (U-Pb zircon age is 857.0 ± 9.5 Ma). In the Late Neoproterozoic, the granitoids underwent tectonothermal reworking caused by Vendian accretion and collision events on the southwestern margin of the Siberian craton, which explain the younger K-Ar biotite age, 615.5 ± 6.3 Ma.     

Age and sources of the anorthosites of the Neoarchean Kolmozero-Voron’ya greenstone belt (Fennoscandian Shield)

New data are reported on U-Pb (SHRIMP-II) age (2662 ± 7 Ma), isotope (Sm-Nd) and geochemical compositions of the anorthosites of the Patchemvarek Massif and “ovoidal” anorthosite sills of the Neoarchean Kolmozero-Voron’ya greenstone belt. Mesoarchean (2938 ± 8 Ma) zircons found in the Patchemvarek anorthosite have low Th/U ratio, are overgrown by a thin rim, and may be interpreted as xenogenic crystals assimilated by primary melts of the gabbro-anorthosite massifs from host Mesoarchean tonalites during crystallization in a magmatic chamber. The “ovoidal” anorthosite sills are dated at 2730–2740 Ma on the basis of U-Pb local zircon isotope analysis. The sills of the “ovoidal” anorthosites in the Kolmozero-Voron’ya GSB represent the older (2730–2740 Ma) rock group, which differs from the Patchemvarek anorthosites in strongly depleted Nd isotope composition and some geochemical features. In terms of age and Sm-Nd isotope characteristics, the “ovoidal” anorthosites are close to the komatiites of the lower volcanogenic sequence (ε_Nd(Т) + 3.0–3.2), and metaandesites (2778 ± 5.4 Ma, U-Pb TIMS, ε_NdТ + 3.5) and metatholeiites of the upper volcanogenic sequence (ε_Nd(Т) + 3.5–3.7) of the supracrustal complex of the Kolmozero-Voron’ya GSB.

秦岭富水杂岩的变辉长岩中斜锆石与锆石U-Pb同位素年龄的差异及其地质意义

秦岭富水杂岩体的一些变辉长岩含有粒度较大，U、Pb含量较高的斜锆石和锆石，是U-Pb同位素测年的极好矿物。本文对秦岭富水杂岩的中粗粒角闪黑云辉长岩中的斜错石和错石分别进行了SHRIMP法和TIMS法U-Pb同位素年龄测定，获得斜锆石和锆石的U-Pb同位素年龄分别为501.4±1.2 Ma和480.0±3.4 Ma，二者相差约20 Ma；对该岩石中的斜锆石和锆石的关系及锆石的成因进行了初步研究，认为斜锆石的U-Pb同位素年龄应可解释为秦岭富水杂岩中基性岩石的形成时代，而锆石的成因比较复杂，对其U-Pb同位素年龄地质意义的合理解释需作进一步的研究。     

Zirconology of lherzolites in the Nurali Massif

The age trend (SHRIMP U/Pb) of the evolution of zircon is obtained for the first time in lherzolites of the Nurali Massif. Zircons are subdivided into groups by the crystallomorphological and geochemical features. These specific features in zircon development are confirmed by the age dates. Precambrian dates (no younger than 1190 Ma) correspond to mantle sources of the lherzolite block. The Early Silurian (445–448 and 439–440 Ma) wass the time of lherzolite magmatism of 10–15 Ma in duration. The Middle Devonian (382.9 ± 8.7 Ma) corresponded to postmagmatic processes related to the effect of gabbro–diorite intrusions crowning in the Nurali Massif.     

北祁连西段熬油沟辉长岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄及地质意义

从北祁连熬油沟辉长岩中选出的锆石的外部形态、内部结构单一。SHRIMP测年共测定8个点,每个点的Th/U值都非常高,大都在0.8以上。8个点的206Pb/238U表面年龄在误差范围内完全一致,加权平均值为503.7Ma±6.4Ma,这一结果与前人在同一地点采集的辉绿岩墙样品的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb测年结果有较大的差异。结合研究区内已有的研究成果认为:①熬油沟地区的辉长辉绿岩形成于早古生代,并不是中元古代早期。②辉长岩中的锆石成因单一,其测试年龄结果的地质意义明确;而同源岩浆侵入体的辉绿岩往往容易从围岩中捕获大量锆石,使得锆石成因复杂,年龄测试结果复杂。因此,与辉绿岩相比,辉长岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年代学研究可以获得更为可靠的、地质意义明确的年龄信息。     

赣南矽卡岩型钨矿成岩成矿年代学及地质意义——以焦里和宝山矿床为例

矽卡岩型钨矿是赣南地区的一种重要钨矿床类型。本文以焦里和宝山两个典型的矽卡岩型钨多金属矿床为例,开展了系统的成岩成矿年代学和岩石地球化学研究,结合区域钨锡矿床最新年代学研究成果,探讨了赣南地区钨矿的成岩成矿时代及形成构造环境。结果表明,焦里矽卡岩型钨多金属矿区斑状花岗闪长岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为164.4±1.1Ma,辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄为170.6±4.6Ma;宝山矽卡岩型钨矿区花岗岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为156.6±3.9Ma,辉钼矿Re-Os模式年龄加权平均值为161.0±1.9Ma,厘定了它们的成岩成矿年龄为中-晚侏罗世,同一矿区的成岩和成矿年龄在误差范围内基本一致。结合赣南崇(义)-(大)余-(上)犹钨锡矿集区已有的年代学资料,指出本区的成岩成矿年龄介于170～150Ma,集中在160～150Ma,认为赣南钨矿形成于华南中生代岩石圈伸展-减薄时期的侏罗纪板内拉张的地球动力学背景,系同一成岩成矿系统的产物。     

Zircons in Gabbro of the Nurali Massif (Southern Ural)

The formation time of 410.5 ± 1.1 Ma (zircon U/Pb SHRIMP) and the duration of rock crystallization (2–2.5 Ma) were determined for gabbro from the Nurali massif. The gabbro zircons showed a complicated polyphase structure. A new polygenous type of zonality including traces of primary growth and of the processes of crushing, dissolution, and substitution was discovered in the zircons. The formations of gabbro and ultramafites (lherzolites) of the massif are separated by a time break of 30–35 Ma determined by the genetic discontinuance.     

Yurchik Massifs in Kamchatka: Age and affiliation to magmatic associations

Petrographic and isotopic-geochemical data obtained on basic and ultrabasic rocks from the Yurchik Massif in the Ganal block of crystalline rocks in Kamchatka indicate that the distribution of major and trace elements in these rocks are analogous to those in the fractionation products of high-Al tholeiites occurring in island arcs in the eastern continental margin of Eurasia. Allivalites and dunites found as nodules in gabbronorites and gabbro of the massif are thought to be early cumulates of arc basalts. Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the Yurchik Massif make it different from Ni-bearing Paleocene-Eocene (approximately 50 Ma) norite-cortlandite intrusions in the Sredinnyi Range of Kamchatka. U-Pb zircon and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dates for rocks from the massif definitely testify to its younger, Early Miocene (approximately 22 Ma) age.     

西藏甲玛超大型铜矿区斑岩脉成岩时代及其与成矿的关系

甲玛铜多金属矿是冈底斯成矿带上资源储量达到超大型规模的又一个重要矿床,2010年7月已正式投产。产于矽卡岩、斑岩和角岩中的辉钼矿Re-Os定年已表明甲玛矿床的铜钼成矿时代集中于17~14Ma,而成岩时代的研究相对较少,尤其是矿区及外围大量出露的近南北向展布的斑岩脉。本文选取矿区铅山上52号平硐内的2件弱矿化斑岩脉样品,花岗斑岩(JM52-0)和花岗闪长斑岩(JM52-46.7),首次开展斑岩脉的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年,获得的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U-²⁰⁷Pb/²³⁵U协和年龄分别为14.2±0.2Ma和14.1±0.3Ma,代表了甲玛矿区地表出露的近南北向展布的斑岩脉侵位时岩浆锆石的结晶年龄。斑岩脉的成岩时代与区域上与近南北向正断层系统及裂谷裂陷带有关的冈底斯含矿斑岩侵位时代(18~12Ma)一致。甲玛的成岩成矿时代显示了成岩作用与成矿作用基本同期,且与冈底斯成矿带东段主要斑岩型-矽卡岩型铜多金属矿床的成岩成矿时代基本一致,成矿高峰集中在17~14Ma之间,指示了冈底斯在中新世的岩浆构造活动事件,而且表明了甲玛铜钼矿化与岩浆热液的成因联系。     

Geochronology of the Dovyren intrusive complex, northwestern Baikal area, Russia, in the Neoproterozoic

The paper reports newly obtained data on the geochronology of the Dovyren intrusive complex and associated metarhyolites of the Inyaptuk Formation in the Synnyr Range. The data were obtained by local LA-ICPMS analysis of zircons in samples. The U-Pb age of olivine-free gabbronorite from near the roof of the Yoko-Dovyren Massif is 730 ± 6 Ma (MSWD = 1.7, n = 33, three samples) is close to the estimated age of 731 ± 4 Ma (MSWD = 1.3, n = 56, five samples) of a 200-m-thick sill beneath the pluton. These data overlap the age of recrystallized hornfels found within the massif (“charnockitoid”, 723 ± 7 Ma, MSWD = 0.12, n = 10) and a dike of sulfidated gabbronorite below the bottom of the massif (725 ± 8 Ma, MSWD = 2.0, n = 15). The estimates are also consistent with the age of albite hornfels (721 ± 6 Ma, MSWD = 0.78, n = 12), which was produced in a low-temperature contact metamorphic facies of the host rocks. The average age of the Dovyren Complex is 728.4 ± 3.4 Ma (MSWD = 1.8, n = 99) based on data on the sill, near-roof gabbronorite, and “charnockitoid”) and is roughly 55 Ma older than the estimate of 673 ± 22 Ma (Sm-Nd; [13]). The U-Pb system of zircon in two quartz metaporphyre samples from the bottom portion of the Inyaptuk volcanic formation in the northeastern part of the Yoko-Dovyren Massif turns out to be disturbed. The scatter of the data points can be explained by the effect of two discrete events. The age of the first zircon population is then 729 ± 14 Ma (MSWD = 0.74, n = 8), and that of the second population is 667 ± 14 Ma (MSWD = 1.9, n = 13). The older value pertains to intrusive rocks of Dovyren, and the age of the “rejuvenated” zircon grains corresponds to the hydrothermal-metasomatic processes, which affected the whole volcano-plutonic sequence and involved the serpentinization of the hyperbasites. This is validated by the results of Rb-Sr isotopic studies with the partial acid leaching of two serpentinized peridotite samples from the Verblyud Sill. These studies date the overprinted processes at 659 ± 5 Ma (MSWD = 1.3, n = 3).     

U–Pb dating and composition of inclusions in zircon from ophiolitic gabbro of the Klyuchevsk massif (Middle Urals): Results and geological interpretation

The U–Pb (SHRIMP) dating of zircon from the layered complex of ophiolitic gabbro in the Klyuchevsk massif yielded an age of 456 ± 6 Ma corresponding within the limits of error to zircon dates obtained for other petrographic varieties from this massif. The investigation of the composition of silicate inclusions in dated zircon grains revealed that they are represented by typical metamorphic minerals: albite, zoisite, and secondary amphiboles. The data indicate that zircon was crystallized during metamorphic transformations of gabbroids and its U–Pb age (Late Ordovician–Silurian) is characteristic of all rocks in the ophiolite association of the Klyuchevsk massif indicating the age of metamorphism, not their formation time.     

山阳-柞水矿集区李家砭Ti-Fe矿床成矿构造背景研究

李家砭Ti-Fe矿床位于南秦岭山阳-柞水矿集区内南侧山阳-凤镇构造混杂带内,主要表现为钛磁铁矿和钛铁矿化,含矿围岩为堆晶辉长岩。矿物组合特征及结构分析表明,该矿床为典型的岩浆分异型矿床。矿物成分和岩石地球化学分析结果共同表明李家砭杂岩体具有岛弧钙碱性和大洋板内玄武岩双重岩浆性质。辉长岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb测年结果表明,李家砭辉长岩和Ti-Fe矿床形成于621±6Ma,其中所含有的继承性锆石来自新元古代晚期岛弧中酸性岩浆岩,以上特征表明李家砭Ti-Fe矿床形成于新元古代晚期弧后盆地构造背景下。
