Petrological, Geochemical and the Origin of the Cuobuzha Peridotite in the Western Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone

<正>Ophiolites are fragments of ancient oceanic lithosphere emplaced onto continental margins,accretionary prisms,or island arcs during plate collisions(Dilek and Furnes,2011).The well-preserved ophiolitic sequence provides important information on melt extraction,melting,and melt-rock interaction in the upper mantle of paleo-oceanic     

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Significance of the Cuobuzha Peridotite,Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone,China

The Yarlung Zangbo suture zone (YZSZ) in southern Tibet includes the remnants of Neo‐Tethyan oceanic lithosphere and marks a major suture between the Indian plate to the south and the Lhasa terrane of Tibet to the north. The upper mantle section of the Cuobuzha ophiolite in the northern subbelt of the western YZSZ comprises mainly clinopyroxene (cpx)‐rich and depleted harzburgites. Spinels in the cpx‐harzburgites show lower Cr^# values (12.6–15.1) than the spinels in the harzburgites (26.1–34.5), and the cpx‐harzburgites display higher heavy rare earth element concentrations than the depleted harzburgites. The harzburgites have subchondritic Os isotopic compositions (0.11624–0.11699), yielding Re‐depletion model ages (TRD) ages from 1.8 to 1.7 Ga, indicating that the Cubuzha mantle underwent at least one ancient melt extraction event ca. 1.8‐1.7Ga; whereas the cpx‐harzburgites have suprachondritic ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios (0.12831–0.13125) with higher Re concentrations (0.380–0.575 ppb), indicating subsequent addition of Re following the last partial melting event that occurred during mid‐ocean ridge melt evolution processes. Although these geochemical and isotopic signatures suggest that both peridotite types in the ophiolite represent mid‐oceanic ridge–type upper mantle units, their melt evolution trends reflect different mantle processes. The cpx‐harzburgites formed from low‐degree partial melting of a primitive mantle source, and they were subsequently modified by melt‐rock interactions in a mid‐oceanic ridge environment. The depleted harzburgites, however, were produced by remelting of the cpx‐harzburgites, which later interacted with mid‐oceanic ridge basalt– or island‐arc tholeiite–like melts, possibly in a trench–distal backarc spreading center. Our new isotopic and geochemical data from the Cuobuzha peridotites confirm that the Neo‐Tethyan upper mantle had highly heterogeneous Os isotopic compositions as a result of multiple melt production and melt extraction events during its seafloor spreading evolution.     

雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段错不扎地幔橄榄岩铂族元素特征

对位于雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段北亚带错不扎地幔橄榄岩铂族元素地球化学特征进行研究,旨在对其岩石成因和构造环境进行限定。错不扎地幔橄榄岩以方辉橄榄岩和含单辉方辉橄榄岩为主。含单辉方辉橄榄岩具有较高的铂族元素(PGEs)含量,w(PGEs)=22.31×10~(-9)~36.12×10~(-9),平均值为29.60×10~(-9),高于原始地幔含量;而方辉橄榄岩的w(PGEs)处于17.34×10~(-9)~25.18×10~(-9)之间,平均值为21.08×10~(-9),略低于原始地幔值。相对岩浆成因超基性岩,两岩类皆强烈富Os和Ir,为部分熔融后残余的地幔体。含单辉-方辉橄榄岩及部分方辉橄榄岩含较高的Pd,(Pd/Ir)m比值远大于1,具左倾型PGE组成模式,而且两者都具有低于原始地幔的Cu/Pd比值。综合研究表明错不扎方辉橄榄岩是熔融程度较低的含单辉-方辉橄榄岩继续部分熔融后的残余;两者在部分熔融过程中可能存在部分赋存Pd的硫化物未完全溶解进入硅酸盐熔体,此后又受到俯冲带岩浆渗滤形成的富硫化物熔体的改造。     

西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段东波蛇绿岩的构造背景特征

西藏东波蛇绿岩位于雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段,由地幔橄榄岩、辉石岩和辉长岩等组成。地幔橄榄岩主要为方辉橄榄岩、纯橄岩和少量二辉橄榄岩。岩体的边界出露玄武岩和硅质岩等。地幔橄榄岩中有少量辉石岩和辉长岩的脉岩,宽约1 m,走向北西,与岩体的构造线方向基本一致。各岩相岩石地球化学研究结果表明,东波蛇绿岩的岩相存在较大的差异,玄武岩具有与洋岛玄武岩(OIB)相似的地球化学特征,而地幔橄榄岩中辉石岩、辉长岩脉与洋中脊玄武岩(MORB)相似,形成于洋中脊环境,并受后期俯冲流体作用的改造。东波岩体中二辉橄榄岩具有与深海地幔橄榄岩较一致的轻稀土亏损特征,而方辉橄榄岩和纯橄岩的地球化学特征显示出岩体形成于MOR环境,后受到SSZ环境的改造。东波蛇绿岩的岩石地球化学特征显示其洋中脊叠加洋岛的构造背景。     

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带东段泽当蛇绿岩起源及演化

本文通过对泽当蛇绿岩中地幔橄榄岩主要矿物的矿物化学,以及蛇绿岩中地幔橄榄岩、玄武岩和辉长岩的岩石化学和地球化学的研究,结合前人对泽当蛇绿岩年代学和构造背景的认识,讨论泽当蛇绿岩的起源和演化。①通过对泽当蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩中橄榄石的Fo值,斜方辉石和单斜辉石的En值、Mg#值和Al2O3含量,尖晶石的Mg#和Cr#值的讨论,发现泽当蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩起源于洋中脊下亏损地幔域,方辉橄榄岩的熔融程度比二辉橄榄岩高,后期都受到俯冲带的改造。②通过对地幔橄榄岩岩石化学和地球化学分析,绝大多数的主量元素和微量元素的含量低于原始地幔,微量元素的原始地幔标准化曲线与深海橄榄岩曲线重合,说明它们是亏损的原始地幔熔融残留物,起源于洋中脊环境。③通过对泽当蛇绿岩辉长岩的岩石化学和地球化学研究发现辉长岩起源于比N-MORB更亏损的源区,具有N-MORB的性质,后期可能因为受到俯冲带的改造又具有了岛弧拉斑玄武岩的性质。④泽当蛇绿岩玄武岩包含N-MORB型和E-MORB型两类,说明泽当蛇绿岩起源于包含富集地幔的岩浆源区。N-MORB型玄武岩还具有岛弧拉斑玄武岩的性质,说明N-MORB型玄武岩后期受到俯冲带的改造,而EMORB型玄武岩没有受到俯冲带影响。⑤通过总结前人对泽当蛇绿岩年代学和构造背景的研究成果以及本文的发现,作者认为泽当蛇绿岩是170Ma左右起源于混合不均一的洋中脊下亏损地幔域,150Ma左右在弧前环境受到俯冲带的改造。

达巴蛇绿岩位于雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带西段南亚带,主要由地幔橄榄岩、基性岩脉和硅质岩组成,其形成时代和构造背景尚不清楚.首次报道了达巴蛇绿岩中基性岩脉的岩石学、锆石U-Pb年代学、全岩地球化学数据.达巴辉长岩和辉绿岩具有高的Al和Mg、低Ti、K和P,为低钾钙碱性玄武质岩石.岩石具有与N-MORB一致的稀土配分模式,但是N-MORB标准化蛛网图中显示Nb负异常,显示了受到俯冲板片流体的影响.辉绿岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为120.0±1.7 Ma,为早白垩世晚期,地球化学特征显示源自于低程度的尖晶石相地幔源区的部分熔融.结合前人研究成果,认为达巴蛇绿岩形成于与初始俯冲有关的弧前扩张中心,是受到俯冲板片流体交代的上覆地幔楔部分熔融的产物.      

雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段北亚带的基性岩成因和构造意义

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带自萨嘎以西分为达巴—休古嘎布(南亚带)和达机翁—萨嘎(北亚带)两个亚带,但两者的成因和构造背景还不清楚。本文在研究北亚带加纳崩—错不扎基性岩脉的年代学和地球化学及对比南亚带的基础上,探讨了两个带的成因和关系问题。加纳崩辉长岩和错不扎辉绿岩呈脉状或长透镜状产在方辉橄榄岩中,宽1~3 m不等,走向北西。两者的锆石U-Pb年龄分别为(125.8±2.6)Ma和(127.0±0.5)Ma。岩石地球化学均具有高Si、Al、Na、Mg和低Ti、K、P的特征,属钙碱性玄武质成分。球粒陨石标准化曲线与N-MORB一致;N-MORB标准化蛛网图中显示Nb、Ta、Ti负异常,判断两者形成于大洋俯冲的弧前或弧后环境。对比前人研究,南亚带普兰、东波和休古嘎布蛇绿岩中的基性岩具有相同产状和时代(120~130 Ma),地球化学特征也同样显示形成于洋内俯冲带环境。结合两带基性岩的围岩地幔橄榄岩均具有弧前环境特征,初步认为南北蛇绿岩亚带可能是相同构造背景的大洋岩石圈残余。

Early cretaceous ophiolites of the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone: insights from dolerites and peridotites from the Baer upper mantle suite,SW Tibet (China)

The Baer ophiolitic massif is located in the northern sub-belt of the western segment of the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) and mainly consists of a lherzolite-dominant mantle suite, dolerite intrusions and limited crustal outcrops. The dolerites show sub-ophitic texture and light rare earth element-depleted chondrite-normalized rare earth element patterns similar to normal-mid-ocean ridge basalts (N-MORB); though, they display enrichments in fluid-mobile elements (Rb, Ba, and Sr) and marked depletions in Th and Nb. The U–Pb ages of several magmatic zircon grains recovered from two dolerite samples indicate that the intrusion of the dikes into the Baer lherzolitic mantle occurred at 125.6–126.3 Ma, consistent with the widespread mafic magmatism between 120 and 130 Ma in the Yarlung Zangbo ophiolites. The dolerites have slightly more radiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.7043–0.7054) in comparison to N-MORB, whereas they show ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd values (0.513067–0.513114) similar to N-MORB and high zircon Hf-isotope compositions. They have a limited range of Nd-isotope (ε_Nd(t) values: +8.2 to +9.1) and juvenile Hf-isotope compositions (ε_Hf(t) values: +8.4 to +14.2 and +10.0 to +15.1) indicating derivation from mantle melts. The moderate spread in the ε_Hf (t) values of zircons indicates derivation of the dolerites parental magma from a weakly contaminated spinel-bearing mantle source. This is also corroborated by the geochemical signatures of the Baer dolerites (enrichment in LILE and depletion in HFSE) suggesting minor slab input to the mantle source of the dike-filling melt. We suggest that the genesis of the dolerite dike-forming melt happened at a stage of subduction initiation in a sub-oceanic mantle domain mildly affected by fluids emanating from the downgoing slab. Our data combined with literature data allow us to presume that the intrusion of the dolerites into the Baer mantle corresponds to an early phase of subduction initiation beneath a developing forearc basin.     

Miocene post-collisional shoshonites and their crustal xenoliths,Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone southern Tibet: Geodynamic implications

The convergence between the Indian plate and the southern margin of the Eurasian continent created an active continental margin from Late Jurassic until about 40 Ma ago, which then evolved to form the Himalaya and the Tibetan Plateau during the continental collision stage. Post-collisional magmatism in southern Tibet, north of the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) has been active since 45 Ma and is related to normal faulting and extensional tectonism. To date no such magmatism was reported within the YZSZ itself. This paper reports on the discovery of Miocene shoshonites within the YZSZ. They are significant because the magma traveled, at least in part, through oceanic crust, thus limiting interaction with the continental crust to the mid-crustal level and which affected the post-collisional magmatic rocks occurring in the northern part of the subduction system. In addition, xenoliths and xenocrysts of crustal origin in these rocks constrain the nature of metamorphic rocks underlying the YZSZ at mid-crustal level. The geochemical signatures of the shoshonitic rocks, including Nd and Sr isotope systematics, indicate derivation from a garnet-bearing middle continental crustal source. Crustal imprint complicates modeling of the petrogenetic processes which occurred prior to mid-crustal ponding of the magma which took place between 11 and 17 Ma at depths of 40 to 50 km. The significant role of crustal contamination raises serious concerns about models proposed for similar magmatic activity elsewhere in the Himalaya and the Tibetan Plateau.     

Ocean-continent Transition to Suprasubduction Zone Origin of the Western Yarlung Zangbo Ophiolites in SW Tibet, China: Multi-stage, Transient Evolution of the Neotethyan Oceanic Lithosphere

The ophiolites that crop out discontinuously along the~2000 km Yarlung Zangbo Suture zone(YZSZ)between the Nanga Parbat and Namche Barwa syntaxes in southern Tibet represent the remnants of Neotethyan oceanic lithosphere(Fig.1a).We have investigated the internal structure and the geochemical makeup of mafic-ultramafic rock assemblages that are exposed in the westernmost segment of the YZSZ where the suture zone architecture displays two distinct sub-belts of ophiolitic and mélange units separated by a continental Zhongba terrane(Fig.1b).These two sub-belts include the Daba–Xiugugabu in the south(Southern sub-belt,SSB)and the Dajiweng–Saga in the north(Northern sub-belt,NSB).We present new structural,geochemical,geochronological data from upper mantle peridotites and mafic dike intrusions occurring in these two sub-belts and discuss their tectonomagmatic origin.In-situ analysis of zircon grains obtained from mafic dikes within the Baer,Cuobuzha and Jianabeng massifs in the NSB,and within the Dongbo,Purang,Xiugugabu,Zhaga and Zhongba in the SSB have yielded crystallization ages ranging between130 and 122 Ma.Dike rocks in both sub-belts show N-MORB REE patterns and negative Nb,Ta and Ti anomalies,reminiscent of those documented from SSZ ophiolites.*Harzburgitic host rocks of the mafic dike intrusionsmainly display geochemical compositions of abyssal peridotites(Fig.2),with the exception of the Dajiweng harzburgites,which show the geochemical signatures of forearc peridotites(Lian et al.,2016).Extrusive rocks that are spatially associated with these peridotite massifs in both sub-belts also have varying compositional and geochemical features.Tithonian to Valanginian(150–135 Ma)basaltic rocks in the Dongbo massif have OIB-like geochemistry and 138 Ma basaltic lavas in the Purang massif have EMORB-like geochemistry(Liu et al.,2015).Tuffaceous rocks in the Dajiweng massif are140 Ma in age and show OIB-like geochemistry.We interpret these age and geochemical data to reflect a rifted continental margin origin of the extrusive rock units in both sub-belts.These data and structural observations show that the western Yarluang Zangbo ophiolites represent fragments of an Ocean-Continent Transition(OCT)peridotites altered by fluids in an initial supersubduction setting.We infer that mafic-ultramafic rock assemblages exposed in the SSB and NSB initially formed in an ocean–continent transition zone(OCTZ)during the late Jurassic,and that they were subsequently emplaced in the forearc setting of an intraoceanic subduction zone within a Neotethyan seaway during 130 to 122 Ma.The NSB and SSB are hence part of a single,S-directed nappe sheet derived from a Neotethyan seaway located north of the Zhongba terrane.
