川西康定—丹巴地区新元古代基性岩墙成因及源区性质

提要：扬子地块西缘新元古代岩浆岩分布广泛,目前对其成因和构造背景的认识还存在很大争议。本文报道了川西康滇裂谷北段康定—丹巴地区新元古代基性岩墙的岩石学、元素地球化学和Sm-Nd同位素特征,探讨其岩石成因、岩浆源区性质和岩浆熔融深度。结果表明岩石样品属拉斑系列,形成于板内裂谷环境,岩浆在上升侵位过程中受到了初生岛弧地壳物质不同程度的混染。岩浆起源于亏损地幔源区,是尖晶石地幔橄榄岩部分熔融的产物,很可能与导致Rodinia超级大陆裂解的新元古代地幔柱事件有关。     

Sequence Stratigraphy and Evolution of the Neoproterozoic Marginal Basins Along Southeastern Yangtze Craton, South China

Four sequence sets have been recognized in the Neoproterozoic basins along the southeastern margin of the Yangtze Craton, South China. The first sequence set consists of the Baizhu and Hetong Formations (or their equivalents), which is absent or partially absent in the denudational areas of the Jiangnan Ridge division. It represents the beginning of the continental rifting. The second sequence set is made up of the Sanmenjie and Gongdong Formations (or their equivalents), and is characterised by widespread rift volcanism. The third sequence set is represented by the Chang'an Formation glacial deposits in the Hunan-Guangxi sub-basin, which is absent in land areas covered by continental ice sheets. The Nantuo tillites and subsequent carbonaceous and siliceous sediments (the Doushantuo and Dengying Formations) constitute the fourth sequence set in the study area, marking the end of the continental rifting. The first three sets have been interpreted as forming the rift-fill, and the last one the rift cover. This study is the first step towards a better understanding of the Neoproterozoic basin history in South China, and a more robust correlation with Neoproterozoic successions in other continents formed during the breakup of Rodinia.     

Mid-Late Neoproterozoic rift-related volcanic rocks in China: Geological records of rifting and break-up of Rodinia

Early Cambrian and Mid-Late Neoproterozoic volcanic rocks in China are widespread on several Precambrian continental blocks,which had aggregated to form part of the Rodinia supercontinent by ca.900 Ma....     

Provenance and tectonic setting transition as recorded in the Neoproterozoic strata,western Jiangnan Orogen:Implications for South China within Rodinia

The Neoproterozoic Tonian strata(ca.870-725 Ma)in the western Jiangnan Orogen archive the records of sedimentary provenance and tectonic setting which can be used to understand the geological evolution of the South China Continent.These strata are separated into the basement and cover sequences by a regional angular unconformity.The basement sequence can be subdivided into the lower and the upper parts by the widespread interbedded ca.840 Ma basalt with pillow structure.In the present work,234 concordant detrital zircon analyses are obtained from three Tonian sandstone samples in the Fanjingshan district,Guizhou Province.Combined with previous results,a total of 1736 analyses of detrital zircon U-Pb ages derived from 12 formations of Tonian strata in the western Jiangnan Orogen are used to decipher the integrated sedimentary and tectonic histories.The zircons from the lowermost part of the basement sequence(the Yujiagou Formation)show oval morphology and display two Paleoproterozoic age peaks at 2325 Ma and 1845 Ma which are similar with the detrital zircon age peaks from the Late Paleoproterozoic to Early Mesoproterozoic Dongchuan/Dahongshan/Hekou groups,suggesting a passive margin basin in which the sediments were mainly sourced from the southwestern Yangtze Block.However,the zircon age population of the lower part of the basement sequence(the Xiaojiahe,Huixiangping formations and their equivalents)indicates the sedimentary derivation from bidirectional sources(the ca.870 Ma arc materials in the south and the old detritus from the southwestern Yangtze Block)which is consistent with a back arc setting for the deposition of the sediments.Zircons from the upper part of the basement sequence(the Duyantang Formation and its equivalent)show euhedral and subangular morphology and display a unimodal age peak at ca.835 Ma.This sequence was possibly deposited in a convergent setting and the detritus were came from the locally distributed syn-collisional igneous rocks.The lower part of the cover sequence(the Xinzhai and Wuye formations and their equivalents)shows a distinct zircon age peak at 815—809 Ma and two subordinate peaks at 2485 Ma and 2018 Ma,suggesting that the basin had gradually transformed into a continental rift basin and received the detritus from the ca.815 Ma post-collisional magmatic rocks as well as from different Paleoproterozoic source rocks in the northern Yangtze Block.We propose a tectonic evolution model that envisages eruption of ca.840 Ma basalt in a back arc basin that existed during ca.870-835 Ma,an angular unconformity was formed during amalgamation of the Yangtze Block and the Cathaysia Block at ca.835-820 Ma and the rifting of the South China Continent was initiated at ca.800 Ma.Our study concludes that the South China Continent was formed on the periphery of the Rodinia supercontinent.     

湘西隘口新元古代基性-超基性岩墙年代学和地球化学特征:岩石成因及其构造意义

湘西隘口地区基性-超基性岩墙锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb年龄为831.6±9.7Ma,与桂北、赣东北基性岩墙具有相似的形成时代(约830～825Ma),组成了扬子陆块南缘新元古代呈带状断续分布的基性岩墙群。隘口地区的基性-超基性岩墙化学成分上属于碱性系列,超基性岩具有比基性岩明显高的MgO、Cr和Ni含量,所有样品都展示出相似的稀土和微量元素配分模式,部分样品具有轻微的Nb的负异常和明显的P、Ti的负异常,表明岩浆在演化的过程中遭受过不同程度的地壳的混染。该区基性-超基性样品具有明显高的相似于软流圈地幔的εNd(t)值,则暗示其母岩浆来源于长期亏损的软流圈地幔。结合其微量元素及其对应的比值和εNd(t)值与板内裂谷碱性玄武岩和洋岛玄武岩非常相似的特征,以及扬子周缘大规模相同时代岩浆作用的特点,我们认为这些新元古代火成岩是地幔柱有关的裂谷岩浆作用的产物,地幔柱或超级地幔柱的作用导致了Rodinia超大陆最终的裂解。     

扬子克拉通南华纪碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素对华南新元古代岩浆事件的指示

对采自宜昌三峡地区南华纪沉积岩中碎屑锆石进行了U-Pb定年,新元古代锆石U-Pb年龄在833Ma、785Ma出现高峰,说明此时期有两期大规模岩浆活动.结合前人的Hf同位素结果,新元古代锆石U-Pb年龄与ε_Hf(t)值关系图表明: 910~890Ma之间锆石ε_Hf(t)值表现为高正值(≈10,接近亏损地幔演化值),890~840Ma锆石ε_Hf(t)值明显降低,并有负值出现,另外在890Ma处有年龄峰出现.笔者认为扬子和华夏板块的拼合可能在890Ma发生了由俯冲到陆-陆或陆-弧的碰撞,之前的高ε_Hf(t)值由洋壳俯冲造成,之后碰撞作用陆壳物质熔融造成了ε_Hf(t)值的降低; 840~800Ma的锆石ε_Hf(t)值有正也有负,800~780Ma的锆石ε_Hf(t)值小于0,780~750Ma的锆石ε_Hf(t)值大于0.这些数据与830~795Ma、780~745Ma两期地幔柱事件吻合.      

Intra-continental Orogeny: Insights from Magnetotelluric Data into the Mesozoic Uplift History of the Eastern Jiangnan Orogen in South China

Despite extensive efforts to understand the tectonic evolution of the Jiangnan Orogen in South China, the orogenic process and its mechanism remain a matter of dispute. Previous geodynamic studies have mostly focused on collisional orogeny, which is commonly invoked to explain the Jiangnan Orogen. However, it is difficult for such hypotheses to reconcile all the geological and geophysical data, especially the absence of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks. Based on the magnetotelluric data, we ...

阿尔金南缘新元古代盖里克片麻岩年代学、地球化学特征及其构造意义

盖里克片麻岩分布于阿中地块亚干布阳-帕夏拉依档一带,岩体主要岩性由眼球状黑云斜长片麻岩、二云二长片麻岩组成。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年得到²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄值为(886.5±5)Ma,说明盖里克片麻岩原岩形成于新元古代早期青白口纪;地球化学结果显示：主量元素具有高SiO₂、Al₂O₃、K₂O+Na₂O含量,低Na₂O、MgO、CaO和TiO₂含量的特征,A/CNK值介于1.03~1.17之间,属于高钾钙碱性系列的过铝质花岗岩。岩石富集Rb、Th、K等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Sr、P、Hf、Ti等高场强元素,具有典型的大陆碰撞型花岗岩相应的元素丰度特征;岩石轻稀土富集而重稀土亏损,具有明显的负Eu异常,总体呈右倾的“V”型稀土分配模式,显示了典型的地壳重熔型花岗岩特征。盖里克片麻岩的源岩为地壳中角闪岩相基性岩类(变玄武岩),形成于同碰撞构造环境。综上说明本区存在新元古代早期的构造岩浆事件,可能对应于新元古代的罗迪尼亚(Rodinia)超大陆汇聚事件,说明塔里木和柴达木板块之间在新元古代早期曾经存在板块的汇聚碰撞。     

Detrital Zircon Records of the Banxi Group in the Western Jiangnan Orogen: Implications for Crustal Evolution of the South China Craton

The Neoproterozoic evolution of the Jiangnan Orogen is important for understanding the tectonic history of South China. As a volcanic-sedimentary sequence developed in the Nanhua rift, the Banxi Group preserves the records of important magmatic and tectonic events linked to the assembly and breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent. In this study, we report the results from whole-rock major-and trace-element concentrations, with zircon LA-(MC)-ICP-MS U-Pb ages, trace elements and Lu-Hf isotopic comp...     

Rejuvenation of Fossil Sutures and Related Mesozoic Intracontinental Orogenies in South China

The Huanan (South China) subcontinent was created by amalgamation of the Yangtze, Xianggan, Ca-thaysia and Zhemin microcontinents by the Guangxi orogeny in the Early Palaeozoic. The closure of the Tethyan Ocean and subsequent collision event outside the amalgamated continent reactivated fossil sutures and resulted in in-tracontinental (ensialic) orogenies in the Mesozoic. Based on evidence from deformation, molasse and granitoids, the Sichuan-Guizhou-Hunan-southern Hubei and Hunan-Jiangxi-Fujian Yanshanian fold-thrust systems and the Lower Yangtze-northwestern Fujian Indosinian fold-thrust system are thought to be intracontinental orogens. Their main features are as follows: intracontinental orogenies occurred areally, thrusting propagated towards the interior of the continental, they extend parallelly to the strikes of the fossil sutures, and the details of the temporal-spatial evolution of the orogens depend on subduction-collision events.     

华北克拉通北缘凉城基性岩墙成因及古地理的重建意义

阿尔金南缘帕夏拉依档沟斜长角闪岩年代学、地球化学及其构造意义

阿尔金造山带南缘帕夏拉依档沟零星发育一些斜长角闪岩,主要呈透镜状或豆荚状产于阿尔金岩群大理岩中。文章对这些斜长角闪岩开展了岩相学、年代学以及地球化学方面的研究,获得斜长角闪岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为(857.4±7.1)Ma和(432.5±5)Ma,前者代表其形成年龄,后者代表其变质年龄。地球化学特征显示斜长角闪岩轻稀土微弱富集,轻重稀土分异不显著,并有部分消减带玄武岩地球化学特征,源区为古俯冲带再循环的富集地幔源区,并受到流体或熔体的改造。结合判别图解和区域构造演化,分析得出斜长角闪岩原岩形成于初始裂谷环境,是大陆拉张向裂谷转换机制下形成的过渡岩石类型,较新年龄(432.5±5)Ma为早志留世陆壳伸展和软流圈底辟作用引起的变质年龄。本次研究为新元古代中晚期阿尔金南缘基性岩浆活动提供了新的年代学和地球化学方面的证据,这期基性岩浆活动可能为Rodinia超大陆初始裂解事件在阿尔金南缘的响应。

Petrogenesis and tectonic evolution of Lianyunshan complex,South China: Insights on Neoproterozoic and late Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the central Jiangnan Orogen

The Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks in South China are separated by the ca. 1500 km long Jiangnan Orogen. The Lianyunshan complex, located in the central segment of Jiangnan Orogen, includes wide exposures of late Mesozoic granites. Here we report geological, geochronological and geochemical data from the Lianyunshan late Mesozoic granites and their Neoproterozoic host rocks belonging to the Lengjiaxi Group. Detrital zircon U–Pb ages reveal a single prominent peak at ca. 840 Ma in the metamorphosed and deformed Lengjiaxi Group samples. Ten of the youngest zircon grains in these rocks have a weighted mean age of 828.8 ± 7.1 Ma, which is tentatively interpreted as the maximum depositional age of the Lengjiaxi Group. Two stages of late Mesozoic S-type granites are dated at ca. 150 Ma and ca. 140 Ma from the Lianyunshan domain. From early to late, these rocks show decreasing MgO, CaO, Fe₂O₃^T, TiO₂ contents and increasing SiO₂, K₂O, Eu/Eu*, Rb/Sr ratios and differentiation index, suggesting continuous magmatic evolution dominated by fractional crystallization. The εHf(t) values of zircons with late Mesozoic ages are all negative, with their two-stage model ages mainly ranging from 1.9 to 1.4 Ga, which is significantly different from the model age of the host rocks belonging to the Lengjiaxi Group. These results indicate that the late Mesozoic granites were mainly derived from the partial melting of Paleo-Mesoproterozoic basement rocks that are older than Lengjiaxi Group. Major and trace element features suggest that the protoliths of these early stage granites in Lianyunshan are probably mixed greywacke and shale. The arc-like trace elements signature of all the late Mesozoic granites were possibly inherited through crustal contamination during the magma genesis caused by slab rollback associated with Paleo-Pacific subduction during 150- to 140 Ma beneath the central Jiangnan belt.     

Remnants of a Neoproterozoic Collisional Orogenic Belt in the Core of the Phanerozoic Qinling Orogenic Belt (China)

NW-SE trending paleotectonics are recognized from the WNW-ESE trending Qinling complex in the core of the Qinling belt. They consist of trending stratum, boundary shear zones, deformed linear plutons and ophiolite. The field relationships and ages of the deformation, magmatism and metamorphism suggest that the paleotectonics formed in Neoproterozoic. The ages of deformed and undeformed plutons approximately constrain the peak deformation during 958-889 Ma. Both the two trending tectonics constitute an orogen-scale tectonic replacement by S2 (Phanerozoic WNW-ESE tectonics) of S1 (NNW-SSE trending Neoproterozoic), similar to structural replacement in outcrop. The strong contractional deformation, (high-pressure) metamorphism, and granitic magmatism that evolved from syn-collisional (S-type), to post-collisional (I-type) and to post-collisional (A-type), as well as regional extension at 885-700 Ma in Qinling, display a cycle of a collisional orogeny. Thus, the NW-SE trending paleotectonics could be remnants of a collisional orogenic belt. The belt originally could trend NNW-SSE, if reworking and modification of Paleozoic and/or Mesozoic NNE-SSW contractional deformation are eliminated. Accordingly, assemblage and breakup of some continental blocks occurred in Neoproterozoic in Qinling, which seems to correspond to assemblage and breakup of Rodinia supercontinent in the world. This study provides new insight into the evolution of the Qinling orogenic belt and the reconstruction of Proterozoic supercontinent of China, and also presents a case study of recognition of an old orogen from a young orogen.     

Radiating 1.0 Ga Mafic Dyke Swarms of Eastern Brazil and Western Africa: Evidence of Post-Assembly Extension in the Rodinia Supercontinent?

Several mafic dyke swarms of similar composition and age (tholeiite- ca.1.0 Ga) occur on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean in eastern South America and western Africa. When assembled to their pre-drift position in the Mesozoic, the Brazilian coastal dyke province of Bahia, and the African dykes in Cameroun (Ebolowa suite) and Congo (Comba and Sembe-Ouesso provinces) define a giant radiating pattern (1200 km × 800 km) similar to other dyke swarms elsewhere associated with large-scale continental rifting. Magma flow indicators of the Brazilian dykes and branching propagation styles of their African counterparts indicate that the dyke conduits were fed with magmas diverging from a source beneath the long axis of the Meso-Neoproterozoic West-Congolian Basin in Africa. There, MORB-like metabasalts have been described in the La Bikossi Group of the Mayombian Supergroup. Whether the rifting event and intrusion of dyke swarms were triggered or not by a mantle plume beneath part of the Rodinia subcontinental lithosphere remain to be confirmed.     

下江群沉积地质特征及其对华南新元古代构造演化的约束

华南西部新元古代裂陷纪大地构造属性和原型盆地性质是一个涉及到扬子古陆在全球构造中的定位、且争议较大的基础地质问题.新元古代下江群发育于强变形变质的盐边群和弱变形变质的板溪群之间,处于以滨浅海沉积为主的板溪群向深海沉积转化的过渡带内.下江群以浊流沉积的杂砂岩为主,沉积物扩散方向指向西.下江群清水江组砂岩骨架颗粒统计分析表明,物源来自再旋回造山带.常量元素地球化学特征显示,下江群碎屑岩系形成于活动陆缘区的弧后盆地靠大陆一侧.结合盐边群、苏雄组大地构造属性及其与下江群的空间关系,推测当时的华南西部处于汇聚型板块边缘内,总体属弧后伸展型盆地.
