榍石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年技术研究

榍石具有较高的U含量和封闭温度,是一种重要的适用于U-Pb定年的副矿物。然而,基体效应与普通Pb校正成为制约榍石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年发展的主要因素。本文以~(206)Pb/~(238)U为例,采用基体归一化因子(F_(AVG))评估了锆石与榍石U-Pb定年标准的基体效应,结果显示榍石F_(AVG)几乎都大于1.20,而锆石F_(AVG)明显都小于1.20,表明锆石与榍石U-Pb定年标准存在显著的基体效应。以BLR-1榍石标准为外部校准标样,OLT1榍石获得的谐和年龄1014.9±4.8Ma(95%置信水平,n=23,MSWD=0.32)与SHRIMP谐和年龄1017.1±3.6Ma及ID-TIMS谐和年龄1014.6±1.3 Ma在误差范围内一致,同时获得~(206)Pb/~(238)U、~(207) Pb/~(235) U、~(207) Pb/~(206) Pb加权平均年龄在误差范围内与其谐和年龄一致;而以91500锆石为外部校准标样,OLT1榍石获得的~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄为891.3±9.5 Ma(n=23,MSWD=5.3),与ID-TIMS测得的谐和年龄相比偏低约12%。经~(207)Pb法校正后,TCB榍石获得的~(206)Pb/~(238) U加权平均年龄1015.6±6.2 Ma(n=16,MSWD=0.84)与ID-TIMS谐和年龄1018.1±1.7Ma在误差范围内一致。本研究表明,采用基体匹配的榍石标准为外部标样,利用LA-ICP-MS对榍石进行U-Pb定年也能获得与ID-TIMS相一致的年龄,精度(2RSE)小于2%。

在内蒙古大青山地区逆冲推覆构造所截切的英安岩中获得锆石~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb表面年龄加权平均值为1870±19Ma,认为英安岩为华北克拉通古元古代末—新元古代一次裂解事件的产物.同时,据安山岩锆石U-Pb年龄谐和度(102)较好的锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U表面年龄436±4Ma及英安岩锆石U-Pb年龄谐和度(104)较好的锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U表面年龄153±2Ma和160±2Ma,表明大青山地区逆冲推覆构造存在构造复活或构造追踪现象。这一认识为大青山地区逆冲推覆构造的研究积累了新的资料,提供了新的研究思路。     

滇东南瑶山群SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学及其地质意义

为探讨滇东南瑶山群的原岩年龄以及后期经历的岩浆-变质-构造事件年龄,开展了SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年研究。结果表明,阴极发光(CL)分析和光学显微分析显示瑶山群的锆石组成比较复杂,可以分为继承锆石、变质锆石、深熔锆石/岩浆锆石等几大类。除少量测点207Pb/206Pb年龄为新元古代外,继承锆石206Pb/238 U表面年龄变化范围集中在235±1.7Ma~261±3.6Ma,加权平均值为250.8±9.8Ma(N=4,MSWD=4.1);深熔/岩浆锆石206Pb/238 U表面年龄显示出~85Ma和~75Ma两个峰值;变质增生锆石206Pb/238 U表面年龄为49~30Ma,且主要集中在32Ma、37Ma和42Ma左右。结合区域地质情况,初步推测:250.8±9.8Ma的继承锆石峰值年龄表明,瑶山群主体的原岩时代可能不早于二叠纪;变质锆石、深熔锆石/岩浆锆石的206Pb/238 U表面年龄可分为~85Ma、~75Ma、~42Ma、~37Ma和~32Ma等5组,可能代表了红河断裂南段自燕山晚期以来5期较强烈构造-岩浆-变质事件的时限。     

扬子地台西南缘大红山群红山组的锆石U-Pb年代学研究——对其原岩形成时代和变质时代的再限定

大红山群位于扬子地台西南缘,是该区域上变质级别相对较高、形成时代较老的地层单元。本文以侵位于大红山群的侵入岩、红山组顶部的变质火山岩样品为研究对象,运用LA-ICP-MS方法对侵入岩、变质火山岩进行锆石U-Pb定年。石榴黑云钠长片岩、变质辉长岩(DFe1406)和石英钠长石斑岩中锆石为岩浆锆石,3个样品的锆石数据点沿谐和线较集中分布,n(~207Pb)/n(~206Pb)年龄为约1.7 Ga到约1.5 Ga。变质辉长岩(DFe1454)中锆石为变质锆石,n(~207Pb)/n(~206Pb)年龄从约0.8 Ga到约0.7 Ga。结合已有同位素定年资料,可得出如下结论:(1)限定了大红山群中部红山组的成岩年龄为1673～1643 Ma;(2)获得了侵位于红山组变质辉长岩中的变质锆石n(~207Pb)/n(~206Pb)加权平均年龄为748.9±5.7 Ma,表明大红山群经历过约750 Ma前的变质,确定大红山群经历850～750Ma的变质作用,可能与Rodinia超大陆裂解期岩浆事件有关。     

豫西太山庙地区大西沟锡矿LA-MC-ICPMS锡石U-Pb年龄及地质意义

为研究豫西太山庙岩体与产于其与熊耳群火山岩外接触带的大西沟锡矿之间的关系,利用LA-MC-ICPMS锡石U-Pb测年方法,对大西沟锡矿进行了年代学研究。结果获得的锡石~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb-~(238)U/~(206)Pb谐和年龄为(122.10±0.71)Ma (MSWD=1.8),该年龄与太山庙岩体的末期岩浆侵位年龄120 Ma相一致,成岩与成矿年龄的一致性表明大西沟锡矿的成矿作用可能主要受控于太山庙岩体的岩浆侵入作用。结合东沟钼矿的形成时代(117～114 Ma)和康达萤石矿的成矿年龄(123±9.1 Ma),认为太山庙岩体周边的成矿作用可能形成于统一的构造岩浆过程,其动力学背景为中国东部中生代120 Ma左右的大规模岩石圈减薄事件。

中国大陆地壳单颗粒锆石U-Pb年代学特征:国内文献数据的初步分析

锆石U-Pb年代学方法已经成为地质学研究必不可少的方法。本文收集整理了二十世纪八十年代以来分散在期刊论文、学位论文等多种出版载体中的锆石U-Pb年代学数据,建成中国大陆单颗粒锆石数据库中文子库。该数据子库涉及截至到2017年底的文献2331篇,有效数据154768条目,数据总量已经能够用来进行数据的初步分析和相关地球科学研究。数据子库中年龄-年龄绝对误差关系的分析表明,Age(~(206)Pb/~(238)U)、Age(~(207)Pb/~(235)U)、Age(~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb)在不同的地质年代区间误差表现有所不同。在小于1684.4Ma、1684.4~2855.2Ma、大于2855.2Ma年龄区Age(~(206)Pb/~(238)U)、Age(~(207)Pb/~(235)U)、Age(~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb)的误差最小、置信度最好,除了Age(~(207)Pb/~(235)U)测试方法的原因外,Age(~(206)Pb/~(238)U)和Age(~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb)可分别作为不同年龄段的推荐年龄。将选用的推荐年龄运用于LA-ICP-MS、SHRIMP、SIMS三种方法的比较,得出其适用于不同地质年代的范围。推荐年龄运用于年龄-频数图中并使用高斯多峰拟合,则可发现中国大陆锆石存在6个生长峰期,分别为131.71Ma、255.17Ma、442.42Ma、811.56Ma、1868.36Ma和2505.31Ma等;更小尺度下的新生代则存在七个峰期,分别为16.99Ma、27.64Ma、35.26Ma、43.44Ma、48.27Ma、52.74Ma和62.07Ma等,峰期及其对应测试点的位置可与中国大陆地壳演化重大历史事件对应。     

Zircon Trace Element Constraints on U-Pb Dating: A Case Study of the Huayuangong A-type Granite in the Lower Yangtze Region,Eastern China

For magmatic rocks, it is often found that zircon 206 Pb/238 U and 207 Pb/235 U ratios continuously plot on the concordia line with a relatively large age span for the same sample, which gives rise to large dating errors or even unrealistic dating results. As the trace element concentrations of zircon can reflect its equilibrated magma characteristics, they can be used to determine whether all the analytical spots on the zircons selected to calculate the weighted mean age are cogenetic and formed in a single magma chamber. This work utilizes the results of zircon trace element concentrations and U-Pb isotopic analyses to explore the screening of reasonable U-Pb ages, which can be used to determine a more accurate intrusion crystallization age. The late Mesozoic Huayuangong granitic pluton complex, which is located in the Lower Yangtze region, eastern China, was selected for a case study. The Huayuangong pluton comprises the central intrusion and the marginal intrusion. Two samples from the marginal intrusion yielded consistent zircon weighted mean 206 Pb/238 U ages of 124.6 ± 2.0 Ma and 125.9 ± 1.6 Ma. These analytical spots also exhibit Zr/Hf and Th/U ratios concordant with the evolution of a single magma, from which the dated zircons crystallized. However, for the central intrusion, the analytical spots on zircons from two samples all show a continuous distribution on the concordia line with a relatively large age span. For each sample from the central intrusion, the zircon Zr/Hf ratios do not conform to a single magma evolutionary trend, but rather can be divided into two groups. We propose that zircon Zr/Hf ratios can provide a new constraint on U-Pb zircon dating and zircon Th/U ratios can also be used as a supplementary indicator to constrain zircon dating and determine the origins of the zircons and whether magma mixing has occurred. By screening zircon analytical spots using these two indicators, the two samples from the central intrusion of the Huayuangong pluton produce results of 122.8 ± 4.3 Ma and 122.9 ± 2.2 Ma, which are consistent with the field observations that the central intrusion is slightly younger than the marginal intrusion.     

The age of camptonite dikes of the Agardag alkali-basalt complex (western Sangilen): results of Ar/Ar and U/Pb dating

A camptonite dike swarm (Agardag alkali-basalt complex) in the western part of the Sangilen Upland abounds in mantle xenoliths. Mineralogical, petrographic, and petrochemical studies show that the dikes are composed of lamprophyres of two groups, basic and ultrabasic. Ar/Ar dating of amphibole and phlogopite megacrysts gives an intrusion age for the dikes of 443.0 ± 1.3 Ma. ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U dating of zircon from a glomeroporphyritic intergrowth in camptonite from one of the dikes yielded a core age of 489.0 ± 5.4 Ma. This corresponds to the time of formation of the Chzhargalanta granite–leucogranite complex (489.4 ± 2.6 Ma). The ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of the zircon rim is 444.0 ± 7.5 Ma. The ages obtained by Ar/Ar dating of amphibole and biotite megacrysts and by U/Pb dating of the magmatic rim of zircon crystal from the camptonite coincide within the dating error, which indicates that the camptonite dikes formed in the Late Ordovician. These dikes are the oldest-known example of mantle-derived xenoliths in mafic volcanic rocks from an off-craton setting. These are samples of the Upper Ordovician lithospheric mantle.

广东大宝山多金属矿床花岗岩锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb定年及其地质意义

广东大宝山矿床位于南岭花岗岩带中带。它是我国著名的大型多金属矿床,开采历史久远。近年来的研究表明大宝山矿床与成矿作用有关的斑岩体为燕山早期岩浆活动的产物,因而人们较多地关注中生代的岩浆活动,而忽视了对其他时代岩浆活动的研究。本文在前人研究的基础上,利用锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年方法系统地测试了大宝山多金属矿床多个花岗质岩体和辉绿岩脉的形成时代,研究表明徐屋片理化流纹斑岩年龄为426.9±2.2Ma、九曲岭黑云母花岗闪长斑岩、船肚花岗闪长岩和大宝山花岗闪长斑岩形成时代分别为162.2±0.7Ma、160.2±0.9Ma和161.0±0.9Ma。矿区内两条辉绿岩脉的年龄分别为210.4±1.4Ma和163.9±1.8Ma。这些结果证实大宝山矿区内存在加里东期、印支期和燕山期等多个旋回的岩浆活动,中晚侏罗世铁镁质的岩浆活动可能存在对成矿的贡献。

Geochronologic Constraints on the Magmatic Underplating of the Gangdise^ Belt in the India-Eurasia Collision： Evidence of SHRIMP II Zircon U-Pb Dating

Abstract  Abundant small mafic intrusions occur associated with granitoids along the Gangdisê magmatic belt. In addition to many discrete gabbro bodies within the granitoid plutons, a gabbro‐pyroxenite zone occurs along the southern margin of the Gangdisê belt to the north of the Yarlung Zangbo suture. The mafic intrusion zone spatially corresponds to a strong aeromagnetic anomaly, which extends ～1400 km. The mafic intrusions consist of intermittently distributed small bodies and dikes of gabbro and dolerite with accumulates of pyroxenite, olivine pyroxenite, pegmatitic pyroxenite and amphibolite. Much evidence indicates that the Gangdisê gabbro‐pyroxenite assemblage is most likely a result of underplating of mantle‐derived magma. Detailed field investigation and systematic sampling of the mafic rocks was conducted at six locations along the Lhasa‐Xigazê segment of the mafic intrusive zone, and was followed by zircon SHRIMP II U‐Pb dating. In addition to the ages of two samples previously published (47.0±1 Ma and 48.9±1.1 Ma), the isotopic ages of the remaining four gabbro samples are 51.6±1.3 Ma, 52.5±3.0 Ma, 50.2±4.2 Ma and 49.9±1.1 Ma. The range of these ages (47–52.5 Ma) provide geochronologic constraints on the Eocene timing of magma underplating beneath the Gangdisê belt at ca. 50 Ma. This underplating event post‐dated the initiation of the India‐Eurasia continental collision by 15 million years and was contemporaneous with a process of magma mixing. The SHRIMP II U‐Pb isotopic analysis also found several old ages from a few zircon grains, mostly in a range of 479–526 Ma (weighted average age 503±10 Ma), thus yielding information about the pre‐existing lower crust when underplating of mafic magma took place. It is believed that magma underplating was one of the major mechanisms for crustal growth during the Indian‐Eurasia collision, possibly corresponding in time to the formation of the 14–16 km‐thick “crust‐mantle transitional zone” characterized by Vp = 6.85–6.9 km/s.
