Rubidium‐strontium geochronology of the encounter bay granite and adjacent Metasedimentary rocks,South Australia

Rubidium‐strontium and strontium isotope data for eight whole‐rock samples of granite varieties from the Encounter Bay area, South Australia, yield an isochron age of 487 ± 37 m.y. Two specimens of albitised granite, formed as a result of late‐stage metasomatic alteration of original megacrystic granite, conform to this isochron. These data support a genetic relation between granites and late‐stage metasomatic alteration as suspected from field, petrographical and geochemical studies. Eight samples from contiguous Kanmantoo Group metasedimentary rocks have an isochron age of 487 ± 60 m.y. Thus this metamorphic event is coincident with emplacement of the Encounter Bay Granite.

The initial Sr⁸⁷Sr⁸⁶ ratio for the Encounter Bay Granite (0.719) is significantly higher than initial ratios for the Palmer (0.709) and Anabama (0.705) Granites from the same region and can be attributed to either remobilisation or incorporation of strontium from older crustal material in the intrusion. The apparent initial Sr⁸⁷/Sr⁸⁶ ratio for the Kanmantoo Group metasedimentary rocks (0.722) can not be distinguished from that for the Encounter Bay Granite within the analytical uncertainties. Compatability of ages and high initial Sr⁸⁷Sr⁸⁶ ratios suggest that the granites formed by remobilisation of associated crustal rock.     

Rb - Sr Whole Rock-Mineral Isochron Ages of Plutonic Rocks from the Wanni Complex, Sri Lanka

Granitoid plutons in different East Gondwana fragments give evidence for vigorous felsic magmatism during the Pan-African period (800 to 500 Ma). The Sri Lankan basement, which is mainly composed of Proterozoic high-grade metamorphic rocks, was intruded by a few late- to post-tectonic syenitic and granitic plutons. Reliable geochronological data for these plutons are few, and some of the available data are inconsistent with the ages of the surrounding metamorphic country rocks.This report presents five Rb-Sr whole-rock-mineral isochron (WRMI) ages and initial Sr isotope ratios of three granitoid plutons from the Wanni Complex, Sri Lanka, namely the Ambagaspitiya, Tonigala and Kotadeniya Granites. Two samples from the Ambagaspitiya Granite yielded ages of 520±5 and 502±15 Ma, with initial Sr ratios of 0.7103±0.0003 and 0.7125±0.0009 respectively, whereas ages of 467±27 and 497±11 Ma and initial Sr ratios of 0.7070±0.0004 and 0.7085±0.0008 were determined for two Tonigala Granite plutons. A single sample from the Kotadeniya Granite gave an age of 533±19 Ma and an initial Sr ratio of 0.7202±0.0018.These ages are consistent with the geological relations between the granitoids and their country rocks, which underwent granulite facies metamorphism between 650 and 550 Ma, and also with available U-Pb zircon ages (550 Ma). The present study gives improved chronological correlation of the felsic magmatism in East Gondwana fragments in Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, Antarctica and Western Australia. Each of the Sri Lankan plutons exhibits different initial Sr isotope ratios, indicating that their magmas were derived from distinct source materials.

The radiometric age of the Albany Granite and the Stirling Range Beds,Southwest Australia

The reported age of 1,100 ± 50 m.y. for the Albany Granite is taken as marking the waning stages of the main orogeny in the south coast of Western Australia. The high initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr for this granite, 0.7118 ± 0.0064, suggests an anatectic or rheomorphic origin which is consistent with petrographic evidence for the absence of a later metamorphism. Shales from the Stirling Range Beds indicate a metamorphic event at 1,150 ± 40 m.y. which is considered to be the time of upthrusting of rocks of higher metamorphic grade to their present position adjacent to the Stirling Range Beds. The minimum age of deposition for the Stirling Range Beds is postulated as 1,340 m.y.     

A magnetic fabric study of the Shap region in the English Lake District

The magnetic susceptibility anisotropy technique was applied to 50 sites, comprising 280 core samples from the Shap Granite and the surrounding country rocks from both within and outside the thermal aureole. The magnetic fabrics of individual cores from the granite pluton indicate preferred orientations of non-equi-dimensional magnetite grains. This fabric developed during the slow ascent and consequent cooling of the magma. The sites from the metamorphic rocks from the immediate contact with the Shap Granite show weak axial shortening directions which are subnormal to the granite contact. Core samples from the surrounding Ordovician and Silurian rocks within the thermal metamorphic aureole but further from the granite have oblate magnetic- fabric ellipsoids with subvertical magnetic foliations trending approximately NE-SW, parallel to the regional Caledonian cleavage planes. This suggests that the magnetic fabric observed in the granite is primary with respect to the time of emplacement of the magma, and that this emplacement post-dates the main compressive phase of the Caledonian Orogeny. The effect of the granite on the country rock is mainly thermal metamorphism with mechanical deformation limited to a very narrow strip around the granite.     

Granite ages within the Archaean Pilbara Block,Western Australia

Within the Pilbara Block of Western Australia, a complex of migmatite, gneissic and foliated granite near Marble Bar is intruded by a stock of younger massive granite (the Moolyella Granite) with which swarms of tin‐bearing pegmatites are associated. The age of the older granite has been determined by the Rb‐Sr method as 3,125 ± 366 m.y., and that of the Moolyella Granite as 2,670 ± 95 m.y. Initial Sr⁸⁷/Sr⁸⁶ ratios suggest that the older granite is close to primary crustal material, but that the Moolyella Granite consists of reworked material. It probably formed by partial remelting of the older granite.     

Behavior of isotopic systematics during deformation and metamorphism: a Hf,Nd and Sr isotopic study of mylonitized granite

A combined compositional and Hf, Nd and Sr isotopic study was performed on a suite of samples of progressively deformed granite from a mylonite zone in the Harquahala Mountains, western Arizona, to evaluate the effects of deformation and metamorphism on the isotopic systematics of typical continental crustal rocks. The 1.4 Ga Harquahala Granite was deformed during Mesozoic thrusting along the Harquahala thrust. Granite in the resulting 60 m wide shear zone ranges from protomylonite to ultramylonite. In most of these mylonites, the protolith is not megascopically recognizable, and can be discerned only by the progressive transition to undeformed granite. Isotopic analyses of Hf, Nd and Sr from the shear zone document the immobility of the Hf and Nd isotopic systems relative to that of the Sr isotopic system during deformation. The Rb–Sr isotopic data show considerable scatter on an isochron plot, exhibiting both gains and losses of Rb and Sr from the whole-rock systems. In contrast, the Sm–Nd and Lu–Hf isotopic systematics are mostly well behaved on isochron diagrams, plotting mostly in tight clusters or along 1.4 Ga isochrons. These results show that while the Sr isotopic system in crustal rocks is quite susceptible to later tectonic disturbance, both Hf and Nd isotopic systems can provide reliable model age information in continental crustal terranes even when the rocks have been subjected to low to medium grades of deformation and metamorphism.     

New constraints upon the structural and isotopic age of the Oughterard Granite,and on the timing of events in the Dalradian Rocks of Connemara,Western Ireland

A Lower Ordovician age for the Oughterard Granite is established by Rb–Sr dating of magmatic white micas from pegmatites cutting two of the satellite bodies found 12–15 km west of the main granitic intrusions. These micas give a minimum age of c. 473 Ma for the emplacement of the satellite bodies, and for the completion of the D3 deformation in the Dalradian host rocks. The main granite intrusions are post-D4 in age, but some of the small outlying sheet-like intrusions are either deformed by D4 folds, or were present during this deformation and were responsible for the development of locally disharmonic D4 minor folds. The correlation of the smaller granite bodies with the main bodies of Oughterard Granite is supported by their similar field appearance, petrography and trace element geochemistry. In common with other late orogenic granites, such as the 470 Ma Aberdeen Granite in NE Scotland, the Oughterard Granite is thought to have been part of a discontinuous magmatic arc, which formed along the southern margin of the Dalradian outcrop in Connemara and in NE Scotland in the early Ordovician. Members of the Oughterard Granite suite were emplaced during the final stages of the Grampian orogeny, from post-D3 to post-D4, while the country rocks were still at an elevated temperature (>500°C) following the peak of the regional metamorphism. The new minimum age of intrusion of c. 473 Ma, together with existing radiometric data, confirms that emplacement of the metagabbro and gneiss complex in southern Connemara, followed by the D3 structural and metamorphic events, all took place during a period of less than 20 Ma. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Geochemistry and Petrogenesis of Granitoids at Sharang Eocene Porphyry Mo Deposit in the Main‐Stage of India‐Asia Continental Collision,Northern Gangdese,Tibet

The Sharang porphyry Mo deposit is the first discovered Mo porphyry‐type deposit in the Gangdese Metallogenic Belt. The orebody is hosted by the Eocene multi‐stage composite intrusive complex which is emplaced in the Upper Permian Mengla Formation and cut by the Miocene dykes. Granite porphyry is recognized as the ore‐bearing porphyry in the complex, which consists of quartz diorite, quartz monzonite, granite, prophyritic granite and post‐mineral lamprophyre. Granodiorite porphyry and dacite porphyry intrude the granite porphyry. Geochemical data indicate that Sharang complex has a High‐K calc‐alkalinc to shoshonitic, metaluminous to slightly peraluminous composition. The Sharang complex rocks are enriched in large ion lithophile elements, depleted in high‐field strength elements, Nb, Sr, P and Ti. REE patterns show slight enrichments in light REE relative to heavy REE and weak negative Eu anomalies. All rocks in this complex have a wide range of initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.705605～0.712496) and lower ε_Nd(t) values (?0.61～?7.80). The geochemical data suggest highly oxidized‐evolved magma and old continental materials may have been the magma source for the Sharang intrusive complex that host porphyry Mo mineralization. Eocene pre‐ore and ore‐forming rocks at Sharang may have formed by partial melting of mantle wedge and by mixing with old continental crust at the lower crust level. In contrast the post‐ore rocks may have formed by partial melting of enriched lithospheric mantle.     

Rb−Sr age of Gaik granite,Ladakh batholith,northwest Himalaya

The Gaik Granite is a part of the Ladakh batholith outcropping between Gaik and Kiari in NW Himalaya. This is a pink porphyritic granite rich in biotite and poor in hornblende. Rb-Sr analyses have been made on six whole-rock samples of the Gaik Granite. Though the samples are poorly enriched in radiogenic Sr, they define a reliable isochron corresponding to an age of 235±13 (2σ) m.y. and initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio of 0·7081±0·0004 (2σ). Biotite, plagioclase and potash feldspar fractions separated from two of the samples have yielded a much younger mineral isochron at 30±1·5 m.y. indicating a nearly complete redistribution of Sr isotopes between mineral phases at a time much later than the primary emplacement of the granite. The present results show that at least some components of the Ladakh batholith are of Permo-Triassic age. These rocks were isotopically re-equilibrated on a mineral scale during Upper Oligocene in response to the Himalayan orogeny.     

胶北地块与金成矿有关的郭家岭岩体和上庄岩体年代学及地球化学研究

胶东半岛是我国最主要的原生金矿矿集区,金矿的主要控矿围岩是郭家岭花岗岩,通过研究郭家岭花岗岩的地球化学特征对研究金矿的成因和物质来源具有指示性意义。本文研究的两个花岗岩岩体为上庄岩体和郭家岭岩体,两岩体同属郭家岭型花岗岩。通过对两岩体的花岗岩样进行岩相学矿相学观察、全岩主、微量元素和U-Pb同位素分析,获得胶东半岛中生代岩浆岩的成因机制与源区性质及自然金的产出形式等科学信息。LAICP MS锆石U-Pb年龄得出郭家岭岩体年龄125.4±2.2 Ma,上庄岩体U-Pb年龄128.8±2.0 Ma,都为中生代早白垩世,两岩体年龄相差3Ma,在年龄误差范围来看可以把两岩体作为同一期岩体,也在年龄角度证实两岩体都同属郭家岭花岗岩。两岩体的锆石组成都含有太古宙和晚侏罗纪的继承锆石,指示两岩体的成岩物质来源具相似性,都包含太古宙岩石成分和晚侏罗世花岗岩成分。两岩体具有相似的稀土元素和微量元素分配模式,表现出明显的LREE富集和HREE极度亏损,没有明显的铕负异常。郭家岭岩体和上庄岩体花岗岩都具有类似埃达克岩的特征,都具有高的Sr含量(913×10-6~1325×10-6),低的Y含量(2.2×10-6~8.4×10-6)和Yb含量(0.21×10-6~0.68×10-6),较高的(Dy/Yb)N比值1.62~2.28,暗示花岗岩岩浆形成时石榴石是一个重要的残留相,而没有斜长石作为残留相。两岩体具有较低的MgO、Cr、Ni含量和Mg#,反映郭家岭型花岗岩岩浆的形成可能是岛弧环境榴辉岩相压力条件下洋壳玄武质岩石的部分熔融。     

Response of U‐Pb Zircon and Rb‐Sr total‐rock and mineral systems to low‐grade regional metamorphism in proterozoic igneous rocks,mount Isa,Australia

A detailed Rb‐Sr total‐rock and mineral and U‐Pb zircon study has been made on suites of Proterozoic silicic volcanic rocks and granitic intrusions, from near Mt Isa, northwest Queensland. Stratigraphically consistent U‐Pb zircon ages within the basement igneous succession show that the oldest recognized crustal development was the outpouring of acid volcanics (Leichhardt Metamorphics) 1865 ± 3 m.y. ago, which are intruded by coeval, epizonal granites and granodiorites (Kalkadoon Granite) whose pooled U‐Pb age is 1862 ⁺²⁷ _‐21 m.y. A younger rhyolitic suite (Argylla Formation) within the basement succession has an age of 1777 ± 7 m.y., and a third acid volcanic unit (Carters Bore Rhyolite), much higher again in the sequence, crystallized 1678 ± 1 m.y. ago.

All of these rocks are altered in various degrees by low‐grade metamorphic events, and in at least one area, these events were accompanied by, and can be partly related to, emplacement of a syntectonic, foliated granitic batholith (Wonga Granite) between 1670 and 1625 m.y. ago. Rocks that significantly predate this earliest recognized metamorphism, have had their primary Rb‐Sr total‐rock systematics profoundly disturbed, as evidenced by 10 to 15% lowering of most Rb‐Sr isochron ages, and a general grouping of many of the lowered ages (some of which are in conflict with unequivocal geological relationships) within the 1600–1700 m.y. interval. Such isochrons possess anomalously high initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios, and some have a slightly curved array of isotopic data points. Disturbance of the Rb‐Sr total‐rock ages is attributed primarily to mild hydrothermal leaching, which resulted in the loss of Sr (relatively enriched in ⁸⁷Sr in the Sr‐poor (high Rb/Sr) rocks as compared with the Sr‐rich rocks).     

Isotopic Composition of Strontium in Rocks of the Fen Alkaline Complex, South Norway

The isotopic composition of Sr and the abundances of Rb andSr have been determined in the alkaline rocks of the Fen Complex,South Norway. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁸Sr ratios range from as low as 0.703in carbonatite (s?vite) to as high as 0.710 in rauhaugite. Thewhole rock analyses do not plot on a Nicolaysen diagram as anisochron. Calculation of the initial isotopic composition ofSr in the rocks at the time of intrusion of the complex, approximately550 m.y. ago, shows that the rocks are not simply related asthe differentiation products of a single magma, since they donot possess similar initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios. The lowest initialratio is seen in the s?vites and it is concluded that this rockrepresents the magma from which the other rocks of the complexwere derived. Production of hybrid rocks by bulk assimilationof granite gneiss in carbonatite is inadequate to account forthe observed Rb/Sr ratios. It is envisaged that selective concentrationof granitic Sr of high ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio together with loss orgain of variable amounts of Rb has taken place. The processis closely connected with the fenitization observed at the marginsof the complex and is of a metasomatic nature. Thus, the genesisof rocks of the melteigite-ijolite-urtite series may be consideredto be a rheomorphic process. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios observed inr?dberg and rauhaugite can be explained in terms of the metasomaticalteration of damtjernite.     

A study of Sr isotopic characteristics and ore-search indicators of Gejiu Sn-bearing granites

Whole-rock Rb-Sr isochron dating of Sn-bearing granites and alkaline rocks from Gejiu, Yunnan Province has been conducted for their emplacement ages and initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios. The Sr isotopic compositions of apatites from some basic rocks in Jiasha, and granite bodies also have been studied in detail. The genesis and evolution of Gejiu Sn-bearing granites as well as ore-search indicators are discussed on the basis of the available data in conjunction with the geochemical data on trace elements (such as Rb and Sr), Sr isotopic characteristics of the volcanic rocks, meta-diabase and host rocks and the isotopic features of ore leads.     

小秦岭金矿田成因的锶同位素约束

本文报道了前人对小秦岭金矿田部分金矿床流体包裹体、赋矿围岩(太华群)、文峪花岗岩的锶同位素结果以及作者新获得的中-新元古界地层(官道口群-栾川群)的缌同位素测试结果。鉴于小秦岭金矿田的金矿床和文峪花岗岩均形成于130Ma 左右,作者将所有~(87)Sr/~(86)比值返算为130Ma 时的初始值,即 I_(Sr-130)比值。文峪花岗岩的8件 I_(Sr-130)=0.7077～0.7084, 平均0.7082;太华群的12件 l_(Sr-130)=0.7073～0.8090,平均0.7557;中-新元古界地层的15件 I_(Sr-130)=0.7119～0.8373,平均0.7623;赋存于太华群中的金矿床流体包裹体的22件 I_(Sr-130)值变化于0.7334～0.7519,平均0.7440:赋存于文峪花岗岩中的矿脉流体包裹体7件 I_(Sr-130)=0.7135～0.71 85,平均0.7162。由此可见,赋存于太华群的金矿床 I_(Sr-130)值远高于文峪岩体,而落入太华群和中-新元古界地层的 I_(Sr-130)值范围,表明成矿流体不可能源于文峪花岗岩岩浆分异,而源于太华群和/或中-新元古界地层的变质脱水;赋存于文峪岩体中的含矿石英脉 I_(Sr-130)值低于太华群和/或中-新元古界地层,也低于太华群中的金矿床,但显著高于文峪岩体,应是高 I_(Sr-130)的成矿流体与低 I_(Sr-130)值的文峪花岗岩围岩相互作用的结果如此,碰撞造山成岩成矿与流体作用模式可较好阐释小秦岭金矿田的成因,即,中生代扬子与华北板块碰撞过程中,由中-新元古界地层及下伏太华群组成的陆壳板片沿小河断裂向北 A 型俯冲到小秦岭金矿田之下,俯冲板片经变质脱水作用为小秦岭金矿田形成提供了成矿流体,成矿流体与赋矿围岩的相互作用造成太华群中的矿脉与文峪岩体中的矿脉具有明显不同的 I_(Sr-130)值。     

Origin and granite alteration effects of hydrothermal fluid: isotopic evidence from fluorite veins, Co. Galway, Ireland

The Costelloe Murvey Granite is a chemically evolved, high heat production, leucocratic component of the 400 Ma old Galway Granite batholith and is host to hydrothermal fluorite-quartz-calcite veins. A previously reported clinopyroxene ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar age of 231±4 Ma obtained from a pre-mineralization dolerite dyke is reinterpreted as dating this mineralization. The hydrothermal fluid extensively altered its granite wallrocks, leading to lower Sm and Nd and higher Rb concentrations in altered granite, disturbing both its Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotopic systems. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio of the hydrothermal fluid from which fluorite and calcite precipitated ranged from 0.7101 to 0.7139. These ratios are very much lower than in the Costelloe Murvey Granite at the time of mineralization, precluding the granite as a source for more than 2% of the hydrothermal Sr. The initial ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd ratio varies between fluorite in different veins due to Nd derivation from local wallrocks, and between fluorite of petrographically distinct growth phases within a single hand specimen, highlighting the difficulty of Sm-Nd isochron dating of fluorite in cases where there are multiple sources of hydrothermal Nd. It is proposed that fluorite and calcite precipitated where hot, dilute fluids rising through the granite mixed with cooler, more saline fluids of basinal origin migrating through Lower Carboniferous limestone which then overlay the granite.

Nd, O and Sr isotopic constraints on the origin of Precambrian rocks, Southern Black Hills, South Dakota

The Nd, O and Sr isotopic characteristics of Precambrian metasedimentary, metavolcanic and granitic rocks from the Black Hills of South Dakota are examined. Two late-Archean granites (2.5-2.6 Ga) have T_dm ages of 3.05 and 3.30 Ga, suggesting that at least one of the granites was derived through the melting of significantly older crust. Early-Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks have T_dm ages that range from 2.32 to 2.45 Ga. These model ages, in conjunction with probable stratigraphic ages ranging from 1.9 to 2.2 Ga, indicate that mantle-derived material was added to the continental crust of this region during the early-Proterozoic. Previous studies of the Harney Peak Granite complex have reported U-Pb and Rb-Sr ages of about 1.71 Ga and most granite samples examined in this study have Sr isotopic compositions consistent with that age. Two granite samples taken from the same sill, however, give two-point Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd ages of 2.08 ±0.08 and 2.20 ±0.20 Ga (∑²²⁰⁰_Nd = −15.5), respectively. In addition, whole-rock and apatite samples of the spatially associated Tin Mountain pegmatite give a Sm-Nd isochron age of 2000 ±100 Ma (∑²²⁰⁰_Nd = −5.8 ±1.8).

The Sm-Nd, O and Rb-Sr isotopic systematics of these granitic rocks have been complicated to some degree by both crystallization and post-crystallization processes, and the age of the pegmatite and parts of the Harney Peak Granite complex remain uncertain. Processes that probably complicated the isotopic systematics of these rocks include derivation from heterogeneous source material, assimilation, mixing of REE between granite and country rock during crystallization via a fluid phase and post-crystallization mobility of Sr. The Nd isotopic compositions of the pegmatite and the Harney Peak Granite indicate that they were not derived primarily from the exposed metasedimentary rocks.     

福建沿海中生代变质带中花岗质岩石的地球化学

福建东南沿海中生代变质带的花岗质岩石分布于东山、晋江和莆田等广大地区。花岗岩中常包含黑云母、石榴子石或白云母。但地球化学研究表明，这些花岗岩属于钙碱性或高钾钙碱性，以低Rb、Zr、Hf、Nb、Y、Ga含量和Rb/Sr比值，以及高Ba、Sr丰度为特征，属于典型的Ⅰ型花岗岩。它们的稀土总量普遍较低，具有轻稀土富集、铕中等亏损的稀土分布模式。本带三个地区花岗岩的微量元素组成存在一定差异，但具有相似的Sr、Nd同位素组成，以高εNd(t)(-4.49～-3.15)和低ISr(0.7055-0.7074)、tDM(1.19-1.29Ga)为特征。地球化学研究显示本带花岗岩形成于相同的构造背景－大型边缘火山弧环境。其母岩浆是由类似于麻源群的古老火成变质岩部分熔融产生的熔融体与同期的幔源玄武质岩浆发生一定程度混合而成。不同地区或同一地区花岗岩地球化学组成上的差异是不同程度的部分熔融和结晶分异的结果。     

Meta-igneous origin of Hercynian peraluminous granites in N.W. French Massif Central: implications for crustal history reconstructions

Seventy samples of Hercynian peraluminous granites (Guéret, Millevaches and Saint Sylvestre massifs) and metamorphic units of the Limousin area were analysed for Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd. The source rocks of the peraluminous granites can be found in the metamorphic rocks of Limousin, among them meta-igneous rocks were largely predominent over meta-sedimentary rocks in the source of the three granites. Millevaches and Guéret granites were generated by the partial melting of rocks comprising meta-volcanics and meta-sediments, whereas the Saint Sylvestre granite was produced exclusively by the melting of late Precambrian granites. This leads to confusing T _DM ^Nd values, the confusion being amplified by the segregation of monazite during the petrogenetic evolution of the peraluminous granites, which leads to dramatic fractionation in Sm/Nd ratios. The data of the present study tend to demonstrate that peraluminous granites do not give a good representation of isotopic mean crustal estimates. Late Precambrian time seems, however, to have been a period of extensive crustal generation in Western Europe.     

特提斯喜马拉雅马拉山花岗岩的年代学、地球化学特征及成因机制

马拉山花岗岩位于特提斯喜马拉雅的西部,其主要矿物组成为石英、钾长石、白云母和黑云母。锆石LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb定年表明,花岗岩的发育记录了(28.0±0.5)Ma和(18.4±0.3)Ma两期深熔作用,(18.4±0.3)Ma代表了最终的结晶时间。全岩地球化学分析结果显示,样品具有高的SiO2(72.36%~72.51%)、Al2O3(15.22%~15.37%)和CaO(1.64%~1.66%)含量,高的K2O/Na2O值(0.97~1.05)和A/CNK值(1.15~1.20),显示高钾钙碱性过铝质的特征;岩石富集Rb、Th、U和K,亏损Ba、Nb、Sr和Zr,Eu负异常不明显(δEu=0.80~0.89),轻重稀土分馏较强[(La/Yb)N=7.09~19.68]。马拉山花岗岩具有较低的Rb/Sr值(0.90~1.10)和较高的CaO/Na2O值(0.44~0.46),指示岩浆源区物质成分可能以页岩为主;样品(87Sr/86Sr)i和εNd(t)分别为0.742522~0.744097和-14.5~-13.7,与大喜马拉雅结晶杂岩中变质沉积岩成分一致,表明其来自变质沉积岩的部分熔融。岩石具有较低的(87Sr/86Sr)i和较高的Sr含量,且随着Ba含量的增加,Rb/Sr值基本不变,表明马拉山花岗岩是水致白云母部分熔融的产物,部分熔融可能与南北向裂谷的东西向伸展关系密切。
