羌塘中部高压变质带的形成过程

羌塘中部高压变质带由榴辉岩、石榴石白云母片岩和蓝片岩等组成,与蛇绿混杂岩、晚古生代浅变质地层岩片等共同构成了龙木错-双湖板块缝合带这一构造混杂岩带,是伴随古特提斯洋闭合的深俯冲作用及后期构造作用的产物。通过对其野外地质特征、不同岩石类型岩石学、矿物学以及同位素年代学等的研究,确认榴辉岩和石榴石白云母片岩在早期分别经历了各自的形成过程,在榴辉岩形成之后的折返过程中二者共同构成了高压变质带,并且在折返过程中榴辉岩发生蓝片岩相退变质作用,同时导致了带内蓝片岩的形成。同位素年代学研究结果表明,龙木错-双湖板块缝合带闭合过程中的榴辉岩相变质作用发生于240Ma左右,折返过程中的蓝片岩相退变质作用及蓝片岩的形成应在220～200Ma,高压变质带最终在214Ma之前抬升出露地表。     

藏北羌塘中部高压变质带中石榴子石白云母片岩的岩石学和变质特征

羌塘中部的高压变质带位于龙木错-双湖-澜沧江板块缝合带之上,由榴辉岩、蓝片岩和石榴子石白云母片岩组成,其形成过程对探讨板块缝合带的构造演化具有重要意义。以其中的石榴子石白云母片岩为研究对象,通过岩相学研究并结合电子探针成分分析,认为石榴子石白云母片岩中的石榴子石具有多期次变质结晶的特征,保留了岩石多期次变质的信息。结合岩石组构特征,最终确定石榴子石白云母片岩至少经历了3期次的变质作用。第一、二期均为绿片岩相,当时岩石不具定向构造且未达到高压;第三期为低温高压蓝片岩相变质作用,与区域上蓝片岩的形成及榴辉岩的蓝片岩相退变质作用大体同时,该期变质变形作用形成了岩石的片理,最终成为石榴子石白云母片岩,变质作用时代为218Ma左右。

桐柏山高压变质带及其区域构造型式

桐柏山是秦岭－大别山造山带的重要组成部分。新近的构造学和岩石学详细研究表明，该区广泛分布有大量的、大小不一的榴辉岩及退变质榴辉岩块体，构成一个延展长约200km和宽约40km的高压变质带。由榴辉岩或退变质榴辉岩、遭受过高压变质作用的沉积和火山岩、由榴辉岩退变质而成的片麻岩和片岩，以及面理化的含榴或不含榴的花岗岩组成的高压变质单位（HP），在组成及变质演化特征方面，均与大别－苏鲁地区的高压单位类似。构造上，显示一典型的西北美型变质核杂岩。分隔开由桐柏杂岩组成的核部杂岩单位（CC）及上覆的高压单位的km尺度的伸展拆离带，具有下和中伸展拆离带的复合性质，是在高压变质作用期后伸展体制下形成的。桐柏山高压变质带是与大别山地区的高压变质带相联接的，据其岩石学、构造学及相关的主要构造边界展布特征，推测该高压变质带穿过南襄盆地有继续向东秦岭延伸的趋势。桐柏山高压变质带是东秦岭造山带与大别－苏鲁超高压和高压变质带间的构造纽带。     

青藏高原羌塘高压变质带的特征及其构造意义

羌塘高压变质带分布于龙木错-双湖板块缝合带的南侧．西起红脊山．经片石山、蓝岭、角木查尕日、纳若．到双湖以东的才多茶卡,长约500km。向东已经延伸到巴青以北和昌都的吉塘地区,再向南进入滇西与澜沧江蓝片岩带共同构成一条断续延伸近2000km的高压变质带。羌塘高压变质带主要由蓝片岩和榴辉岩构成,蓝闪石片岩中蓝闪石和多硅白云母同位素定年结果为223-215Ma,榴辉岩的变质年龄为243-217Ma。估算蓝片岩的变质温度为410-460℃,变质压力为0．67-0．75GPa：榴辉岩相的变质作用温度不超过5000C,压力为1．56-2．35GPa。羌塘高压变质岩定年研究结果确定龙木错-双湖板块缝合带最终碰撞闭合发生在晚三叠世早期。羌塘高压变质带是冈瓦纳与欧亚大陆汇聚事件的重要记录。     

苏北高压变质带及其与北侧超高压变质带的关系

在苏北超高压变质带以南存在一条与之平行的高压变质带。带内由东南向西北可进一步划分出蓝闪石-黑硬绿泥石带,石榴石-绿帘石带和蓝晶石-黄玉带三个变质亚带。从蓝门石-黑硬绿泥石带到蓝晶石-黄玉带变质温压逐渐升高,其峰期地热梯度为15±3℃/km,属于高压变质相系。北侧超高压变质带的典型矿物组合是石榴石+绿辉石+柯石英+金红石,地热梯度为9±2℃/km。高压变质带峰期变质与北侧超高压带峰期变质的地热梯度明显不同,而与超高压变质体的退变质地热梯度相吻合。结合同位素年代学资料,本文指出本区的高压变质作用与北侧的超高压变质作用不是同时发生,而是与超高压变质体的退变质作用同时发生于中生代的印支期。含柯石英榴辉岩的超高压峰期变质早于印支期,并经两次抬升出露于地表。     

青藏高原羌塘中部榴辉岩Ar-Ar定年

羌塘榴辉岩产于红脊山-双湖高压变质带中段的片石山地区,是目前青藏高原内部唯一的榴辉岩产地.榴辉岩多硅白云母40 Ar-39 Ar年龄tp=219.3±1.5 Ma;榴辉岩围岩的多硅白云母40 Ar-39 Ar年龄tp=217.2±1.8 Ma,定年结果表明,榴辉岩与围岩经历了相同的高压变质作用,与红脊山-双湖地区蓝闪片岩的高压变质时间是一致的.根据已有高压变质年代学资料,从羌塘的红脊山到双湖、那曲地区的巴青以北、昌都的酉西,直到滇西地区,断续分布长达2000余公里的高压变质带为同一期构造事件的产物,是龙木错-双湖板块缝合带向南延伸到滇西的重要依据.榴辉岩的定年数据进一步揭示,冈瓦纳板块与欧亚(扬子)板块的主体碰撞时间在220 Ma左右,同时也是古特提斯洋消亡的时间记录.     

新疆西南天山超高压变质带的形成与演化

本文系统地总结了近年来有关新疆西南天山超高压变质带在野外地质产状、岩石学、矿物学、地球化学和年代学等方面研究取得的进展。根据野外地质产状特征,西南天山出露的榴辉岩可以分为三类:即在蓝片岩中呈透镜体的块状榴辉岩、保存有玄武岩岩枕的枕状榴辉岩和夹杂在大理岩中的条带状榴辉岩。详细的岩石学研究表明它们都经历过超高压变质作用,其变质作用演化经历了3个阶段:峰期榴辉岩阶段(560～600℃,4.95～5.07GPa)、主期榴辉岩阶段(598～496℃,25.72～26.66±1kbar)和退变绿帘石蓝片岩相阶段。地球化学研究显示其原岩相当于源于富集地幔的(ε_(Nd)-1.4～-0.4)具有 OIB 特点的变碱性玄武岩、源于亏损地幔的(ε_(Nd)= 6.7～ 7.4)具有 NMORB 特点的洋中脊玄武岩和源于较富集地幔的(ε_(Nd)=-2.5～ 3.2)具有 EMORB 特点的洋中脊玄武岩,它们形成于海山环境下的洋壳。榴辉岩中锆石 SHRIMP定年结果表明榴辉岩的原岩形成于石炭纪(>310Ma)之前,洋壳开始俯冲发生在二叠纪末(280～290Ma),高压一超高压变质发生在三叠纪(220～230Ma)。结合在其北侧低压麻粒岩带的发现,提出了新疆西南天山超高压变质带双变质带构造演化模式。     

西藏羌塘盆地中部发现中高级变质岩

羌塘盆地至今没有片麻岩系基岩点位的报道,长期以来关于该盆地是否具有前古生代的结晶基底分歧较大。最近在羌塘盆地中央隆起带北缘兰新岭附近的俄久卖一带找到了具有中—深变质特征的片麻岩,追索确定片麻岩系沿逆冲断裂带出露,基岩出露宽度为50～200m,断续延伸长约4km。岩相学研究结果显示,片麻岩中含有典型的区域变质矿物矽线石和蓝晶石,结合附近发现的奥陶系仅经历了浅变质作用和新近的地球物理资料揭示盆地内可能有结晶基底,初步认为俄久卖片麻岩系为羌塘盆地的前奥陶系结晶基底岩片,羌塘盆地深部具有稳定的结晶基底。     

赣中变质岩带的矿物化学特征及其P—T轨迹的构造变化

本文根据矿物组合及特征变质矿物，将赣中变质岩带划分出5条变质带，由低到高依次为绢云母－绿泥石（Ser-Chl)带、黑云母（Bi)带、铁铝榴石（Gt)带、十字石（St)带、矽线石（Sil)带。其分布的总体趋势是由南向北呈渐进分布的特点，即变质地层在纵向上由新到老具有由弱而强的变化趋势，同时受构造的控制。区域断裂带，从断裂中心向两侧变质程度递减，并常伴随混合岩化作用。本文从矿物化学特征及P、T条件计算结果来讨论变质岩的演化特征及形成的构造环境。     

Exhuming the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt: the importance of tectonic discontinuities

Tectonic processes that have been proposed to explain the transport to the surface of regional metamorphic belts can be broadly divided into two types. (i) Corner-flow within a convergent margin bounded by two essentially rigid plates associated with extension at shallow levels. This type of model assumes deformation is distributed throughout the margin and that any discontinuities are of secondary importance. (ii) Expulsion or extrusion of coherent metamorphic nappes. In this second idea, tectonic discontinuities are fundamental in the transport to the surface of metamorphic rocks. The wealth of geological data available from a variety of studies in the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt, southwest Japan makes it well-suited for studying the relative importance of continuous vs. discontinuous deformation in the process of exhumation. In the Sanbagawa belt a sudden decrease in metamorphic pressure going down section of several kilobars suggests the presence of a major tectonic contact separating two major regional nappes: an overlying higher-pressure Besshi nappe and an underlying lower-pressure Oboke nappe. Major tectonic discontinuities have also been proposed within the Besshi nappe, however, indicators of metamorphic temperature, the results of radiometric age dating, and microstructural studies all suggest that post-metamorphic discontinuities are minor and that this nappe formed and remained as an essentially coherent unit. Lithological associations and petrological studies suggest the following positions for the two nappes. The Besshi nappe formed deep within the former accretionary wedge, adjacent to the overlying mantle wedge, and with a dip of roughly 30 °C. In contrast, the Oboke nappe formed at moderate depths within the accretionary wedge, was distant from the mantle wedge, and was roughly horizontal. Penetrative deformation that post-dates the peak of metamorphism has affected nearly all of the Sanbagawa belt and has played an important role in its exhumation. However, the presence of a broad coherent Besshi nappe overlying the lower-pressure Oboke nappe suggests that some process such as buoyancy-driven extrusion was also important in the exhumation process and in forming the structure of the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt.     

Rock relationships in the Mogok metamorphic belt, Tatkon to Mandalay, central Myanmar

The Mogok metamorphic belt (MMB), over 1450 km long and up to 40 km wide, consists of regionally metamorphosed rocks including kyanite and sillimanite schists and granites lying along the Western margin of the Shan Plateau in central Myanmar and continuing northwards to the eastern Himalayan syntaxis. Exposures in quarries allow correlation of Palaeozoic meta-sedimentary, early Mesozoic meta-igneous and late Mesozoic intrusive rocks within a 230 km long northerly-trending segment of the MMB, from Tatkon to Kyanigan north of Mandalay, and with the Mogok gemstone district 100 km to the northeast. Relationships among the metamorphic and intrusive rocks, with sparse published radiometric age controls, indicate at least two metamorphic events, one before and one after the intrusion of Late Jurassic to early Cretaceous calc-alkaline rocks. These relationships can be explained by either of two possible tectonic histories. One, constrained by correlation of mid-Permian limestones across Myanmar, requires early Permian and early Jurassic regional metamorphic events, prior to an early Tertiary metamorphism, in the western part of but within a Shan-Thai – western Myanmar block. The second, not compatible with a single laterally continuous Permian limestone, requires pre-Upper Jurassic regional metamorphism and orogenic gold mineralization in the Mergui Group and western Myanmar, early Cretaceous collision of an east-facing Mergui-western Myanmar island arc with the Shan Plateau, and early Tertiary metamorphism in the MMB related to reversal in tectonic polarity following the arc-Plateau collision.
