藏南冈底斯带中段始新世岩浆作用的厘定及其大地构造意义

本文对藏南冈底斯带中段的花岗岩类和角闪辉长岩进行了锆石U-Pb年代学和全岩地球化学分析,据此阐明了岩体的形成机制与演化过程,并探讨了成岩时的大地构造背景。分析结果显示,研究区内花岗岩类和角闪辉长岩体的LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年结果为41~55Ma,为始新世早-中期岩浆活动的产物,代表了区内岩体的成岩年龄。在地球化学组成上,花岗岩类属于钙碱性到高钾钙碱性系列,均富集轻稀土(LREE)和大离子亲石元素(LILE)(Rb、Ba和K),强烈亏损Nb、Ta、P等高场强元素(HFSE),具有弧型岩浆岩的地球化学组成。此外,花岗岩类的铝饱和指数(A/CNK)小于1.1,属于准铝质到弱过铝质的I型花岗岩。角闪辉长岩为石榴橄榄岩部分熔融的产物,并在后期侵位的过程中遭受到了壳源物质的混染。综合分析表明,研究区内的岩体形成于初始碰撞向主碰撞的转化阶段。始新世早期(～50Ma)新特提斯洋板片的断离引起软流圈物质上涌,导致岩石圈地幔发生部分熔融形成基性岩浆,随后基性岩浆底侵至下地壳并诱发下地壳发生部分熔融形成花岗岩质岩浆,最后经过岩浆混合作用形成始新世早-中期冈底斯地区的花岗岩类。     

青藏高原冈底斯带南部的紫苏花岗岩：安第斯型造山作用的证据

青藏高原南部白垩纪形成的冈底斯岩基是新特提斯大洋岩石圈向北部的欧亚大陆之下俯冲形成的安第斯型会聚板块边缘的重要组成部分。已经有研究证明,冈底斯岩基主要由钙碱性和埃达克质的花岗闪长岩组成,但本文报道了在冈底斯带东南缘产出的紫苏花岗岩。这种岩石主要由中长石、微斜长石、顽火辉石、透辉石、石英、富钛的黑云母和角闪石组成。在化学成分上,其铁镁指数FeO/（FeO+MgO）=0.47~0.50,钙碱指数MALI为-3.97~+0.11, 铝饱和指数ASI为0.83~0.92,是典型的镁质、钙碱性、准铝质紫苏花岗岩。计算出的结晶温度为850~950℃,压力>0.4GPa,形成深度为13~15km。紫苏花岗岩中的锆石为岩浆结晶成因,两个样品的U-Pb定年分别给出了87Ma的相同加权平均年龄。岩石学和地球化学特征表明,冈底斯带南缘晚白垩纪的紫苏花岗岩形成在典型的大陆岩浆弧环境。紫苏花岗岩和伴生高温麻粒岩的存在为冈底斯带在晚中生代经历的安第斯型造山作用提供了更加确凿的证据。     

西藏北冈底斯巴木错安山岩的年代学、地球化学及岩石成因

青藏高原南部的冈底斯带中北部地区广泛分布着中生代火山岩及相关侵入岩。由于缺少可靠的年代学和高质量的地球化学数据,使得其成因及地球动力学背景长期以来存在较大争议。为探讨这一问题,本文报道了出露于北冈底斯巴木错东岸安山岩的锆石U-Pb定年、地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素数据。巴木错安山岩锆石U-Pb年龄为122.1±0.9Ma。岩石为斑状结构,斑晶为斜长石、角闪石和少量辉石、黑云母。岩石SiO2为58.65%～60.16%,全碱(Na2O+K2O)含量为(5.25%～5.52%,平均5.38%),K2O含量为2.67%～2.81%之间,K2O/Na2O均1,TiO2含量较低(0.61%～0.72%),MgO含量为2.78%～3.10%,Mg#值为45～48。岩石相对富集Rb、Th、U、Pb,亏损Ba、Nb、Ta和Ti等元素,显示出弧特征。样品具有较冈底斯成熟大陆地壳(如宁中早侏罗世强过铝质花岗岩)低的(87Sr/86Sr)t(0.7102～0.7103)和高的εNd(t)(-9.3～-9.8)值,Nd同位素单阶段模式年龄为1.61～1.76Ga;锆石εHf(t)值为-4.6～-0.3,地幔模式年龄tDM为795～965Ma。综合岩石学和地球化学研究表明,巴木错安山岩为高钾钙碱性系列,产于大陆岛弧向同碰撞转换的构造环境。该安山岩可能是班公湖-怒江洋向南俯冲于冈底斯带之下的洋壳在重力拖拉下发生板片回转,导致软流圈物质上升提供热量,从而诱发受到俯冲流体改造的古老岩石圈地幔部分熔融并与壳源酸性熔体混合而成的产物。     

西藏冈底斯仁布-拉萨一带花岗岩基的地球化学及其意义

冈底斯岩基记录了特提斯洋壳俯冲消减过渡到印度与亚洲大陆碰撞的深部过程,可以反演壳幔相互作用和高原地壳加厚的历史。本文对冈底斯岩基中段的仁布岩体和拉萨岩体进行了系统的元素、Sr-Nd-Pb同位素和锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年与Hf同位素研究。本文测年结果为82～45Ma,仁布岩体和拉萨岩体年龄为晚白垩纪到早第三纪。岩石为含有辉长质和闪长质包体的中酸性花岗岩类,岩石类型复杂。岩石富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素,稀土元素总量较低,具有高场强元素的负异常;Sr-Nd-Pb同位素成分表明新特提斯洋地幔端元的较大贡献,岩石具有亏损的Nd同位素和年轻的地幔模式年龄(εNd=-1.5～3.3,tDM=0.5～1.2)和较大变化范围的正的锆石Hf同位素成分(6个ε单位),表明岩石源区中亏损地幔占有较大贡献,冈底斯岩基显示初生地壳特征。本文进一步揭示出,冈底斯岩基中段存在岩浆底侵与岩浆混合作用,大规模的幔源基性岩浆底侵,不仅导致之后经过岩浆混合形成的花岗岩岩基具有初生陆壳成分,同时也是导致冈底斯南部地壳垂向加厚与增生的重要因素。     

西藏冈底斯带措勤地区则弄群火山岩锆石U-Pb年代学格架及构造意义

大规模的则弄群火山岩呈带状近东西向展布于西藏冈底斯带中北部地区.对出露状况较好的措勤地区则弄群火山岩进行了锆石U-Pb定年,以建立其年代学格架便于区域对比.措勤地区则弄群火山岩多数锆石具有生长振荡环带,部分锆石显示核边结构.在措勤达雄北西部上覆于中二叠统下拉组灰岩的1件则弄群英安岩样品的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Ph年龄为130±1Ma,1件则弄群流纹岩样品的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄为129±3Ma;在措勤达雄北东部与下白垩统多尼组碎屑岩呈断层接触的1件则弄群英安岩样品中的锆石具有两组LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄,最年轻的一组(包括增生边)为121±1Ma,较老的一组(包括核部)为131±1Ma;在措勤南西部1件则异群流纹岩样品的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为111±1Ma,与措勤地区花岗岩类的侵位时代相当.这些高质量的锆石U-Pb年代学数据表明,措勤地区的则弄群火山作用很可能开始于约130Ma,停息于约110Ma,持续时间约20Ma.区域对比表明,东西延伸约1000km的则弄群火山作用同时发生在约130Ma.区域上目前的年代学数据结合同时代岩浆作用的分布特征表明,冈底斯带中北部地区早白垩世岩浆作用不太可能由新特提斯洋壳向北的低角度或平板俯冲产生.     

西藏北冈底斯巴尔达地区岩浆作用的成因:地球化学、年代学及Sr-Nd-Hf同位素约束

前人对西藏冈底斯中北部白垩纪岩浆岩的岩石成因和地球动力学背景仍然存在很多解释。本文报道了位于北冈底斯(拉萨地块北部)东段巴尔达地区的岩浆岩锆石U-Pb定年、元素地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素数据,以对这一问题进行约束。巴尔达岩浆岩包括花岗闪长斑岩和安山玢岩。锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,巴尔达岩浆岩侵位于～114Ma,是北冈底斯早白垩世岩浆岩的典型代表之一。巴尔达岩浆岩两种岩石均为高钾钙碱性系列,其中花岗闪长斑岩的SiO2为64.45%～67.52%,全碱(K2O+Na2O)含量为6.23%～7.47%,铝饱和指数(A/CNK)为0.98～1.22,为兼具I型特点的S型花岗岩;安山玢岩SiO2为57.50%～62.15%,K2O含量为2.30%～3.60%,MgO含量为2.27%～4.40%。两种岩石均富集大离子亲石元素和Pb,亏损高场强元素和Ba等。与冈底斯成熟大陆地壳相比,巴尔达岩浆岩具有更高的εNd(t)值(-7.8～-6.8)和相对低的(87Sr/86Sr)t值(0.7094～0.7105),并且具有不均一的锆石εHf(t)值(-4.2～+3.3)和相对年轻的Hf模式年龄(639～975Ma)。锆石Hf同位素数据和锆石饱和温度(768～818℃)均显示幔源物质在巴尔达岩浆岩形成过程中发挥了重要作用。巴尔达岩浆岩可能是在南向俯冲的班公湖-怒江洋岩石圈断离背景下,由上涌的软流圈提供热量诱发岩石圈地幔熔融产生幔源基性熔体侵位到上部地壳,并引发周围酸性物质的熔融混合,混合过程中幔源组分的输入使S型熔体向I型熔体转化。     

Extensional collapse of the Gondwana orogen: Evidence from Cambrian mafic magmatism in the Trivandrum Block,southern India

The assembly of Late Neoproterozoice Cambrian supercontinent Gondwana involved prolonged subduction and accretion generating arc magmatic and accretionary complexes, culminating in collision and formation of high grade metamorphic orogens. Here we report evidence for mafic magmatism associated with post-collisional extension from a suite of gabbroic rocks in the Trivandrum Block of southern Indian Gondwana fragment. Our petrological and geochemical data on these gabbroic suite show that they are analogous to high Fe tholeiitic basalts with evolution of the parental melts dominantly controlled by fractional crystallization. They display enrichment of LILE and LREE and depletion of HFSE with negative anomalies at Zre Hf and Ti corresponding to subduction zone magmatic regime. The tectonic affinity of the gabbros coupled with their geochemical features endorse a heterogeneous mantle source with collective melt contributions from sub-slab asthenospheric mantle upwelling through slab break-off and arc-related metasomatized mantle wedge, with magma emplacement in subduction to post-collisional intraplate settings. The high Nb contents and positive Nbe Ta anomalies of the rocks are attributed to inflow of asthenospheric melts containing ancient recycled subducted slab components and/or fusion of subducted slab materials owing to upwelling of hot asthenosphere. Zircon grains from the gabbros show magmatic crystallization texture with low U and Pb content. The LA-ICPMS analyses show ²⁰⁶ Pb/²³⁸ U mean ages in the range of 507-494 Ma suggesting Cambrian mafic magmatism. The post-collisional mafic magmatism identified in our study provides new insights into mantle dynamics during the waning stage of the birth of a supercontinent.     

大陆弧岩浆幕式作用与地壳加厚:以藏南冈底斯弧为例

大陆弧岩浆带位于汇聚板块的前缘,记录了洋陆俯冲过程和大陆地壳生长过程,是研究壳幔相互作用的天然实验室。越来越多的研究发现,大陆弧岩浆的生长与侵位并不是均一的、连续的过程,而是呈现阶段性、峰期性特征,即幕式岩浆作用。弧岩浆峰期与岩浆平静期相比,岩浆增生速率显著增强,易于发生岩浆聚集,继而形成大的岩基,如北美西部科迪勒拉造山带内华达岩基、半岛岩基等。藏南冈底斯岩浆带位于拉萨地体南缘,属于印度-亚洲碰撞带的上盘,其南侧与喜马拉雅地体以雅鲁藏布蛇绿岩带为界。冈底斯弧岩浆形成时代集中在240～50 Ma期间,其形成与演化与新特提斯洋壳岩石圈板片俯冲到拉萨地体之下密切相关。因此,对冈底斯弧型岩浆作用的研究,将很好地揭示大陆型弧岩浆的演化过程,继而反演洋-陆俯冲过程,以及壳幔相互作用过程。通过对冈底斯岩浆带岩浆岩锆石U-Pb及Lu-Hf同位素,以及弧前和前陆盆地碎屑锆石U-Pb和Lu-Hf同位素的收集和整理,结合已经发表的区域地质资料的总结,我们发现冈底斯弧型岩浆演化具有如下特点:1幕式侵位,岩浆峰期为100～80 Ma和65～40 Ma,中间为岩浆平静期;2峰期阶段岩浆聚集,形成巨大岩基;岩石同位...     

冈底斯曲水岩基岩浆混合:来自暗色岩浆包体角闪石显微结构的证据

冈底斯岩浆带位于拉萨地体南缘,其形成过程主要受中生代新特提斯洋板片俯冲和新生代印度-亚洲陆-陆碰撞控制,是揭示青藏高原形成过程和深化大陆动力学研究的天然实验室。曲水岩基位于冈底斯岩浆带中段,介于拉萨和曲水之间,主要由花岗闪长岩、花岗岩、闪长岩和辉长岩组成。岩基花岗质岩体中包含大量暗色岩浆包体,包体产出状态有同侵位岩墙、包体墙、包体群等,表明岩浆混杂与混合现象。前人关于曲水岩基做了大量研究工作,取得很多进展,比如,发现这些暗色岩浆包体与寄主岩具有相同的结晶时代,主要集中在55~45Ma。但是,关于曲水岩基形成在俯冲背景还是碰撞背景还存在着争论。这些广泛分布的暗色岩浆包体和寄主岩的关系,及其所代表的岩浆混合过程还需要精细的矿物学工作。因此,本文在综合分析野外岩性分布、暗色岩浆包体出露形态的基础上,重点选择花岗闪长质寄主岩和其中的暗色岩浆包体中的角闪石进行矿物显微结构和构造的分析,并结合电子探针数据,以探求曲水岩基的岩浆混合过程。我们初步认为曲水岩基的形成经历两期混合过程：早期的基性岩浆和酸性岩浆端元在深部的混合;晚期基性、酸性岩浆混合后的中性岩浆爆破、上升,并继续与酸性岩浆混合。此外,曲水岩基形成于俯冲到碰撞的转换过程,受控于俯冲板片作用所产生的弧型岩浆和板片回旋及稍后的断离所产生的地幔岩浆双重作用。

     

Early Eocene leucocratic sill/dike swarms in the Gangdese belt,southern Tibet: Tectonic implications for Indo-Asian collision

The timing of the initial Indo-Asian collision is a subject of debate for a long time. Besides, the magmatic trace of the collisional process is also unclear. In the present study, the authors report Early Eocene leucocratic sill/dike swarms in the northern edge of the Nymo intrusive complex of the Gangdese belt, southern Tibet. The Nymo intrusive complex was emplaced at ca. 50 –47 Ma and surrounded by the metamorphosed Jurassic-aged Bima Formation volcano-sedimentary sequence along its northern side. At outcrops, the leucocratic sills/dikes intruded along or truncated the deformed foliations of the host Bima Formation, which has been subject to high-temperature amphibolite-facies metamorphism at ca. 50 –47 Ma. Detailed cathodoluminescence image analyses reveal that the zircon grains of the leucocratic sills/dikes have core-mantle textures. The cores yield the Jurassic ages comparable to the protolith ages of the Bima Formation. In contrast, the mantles of zircon grains yield weighted mean ages of ca. 49–47 Ma, representing the crystallization timing of these leucocratic sills/dikes. The coeval ages for the Nymo intrusive complex, the high-temperature metamorphism, and the leucocratic sills/dikes indicate that a close relationship exists among them. The authors tentatively suggest that these leucocratic sills/dikes were generated from partial melting of the Jurassic-aged Bima Formation volcanic rocks, triggered by the high heat from the magma chamber of the Nymo intrusive complex. This Early Eocene tectono-thermal event of coeval magmatism, metamorphism and partial melting was most likely formed during the Indo-Asian collisional setting.©2021 China Geology Editorial Office.     

西藏冈底斯东部然乌地区早白垩世岩浆混合作用:锆石SHRIM PU-Pb年龄和Hf同位素证据

目前对西藏冈底斯带早白垩世大规模岩浆作用的岩石成因以及冈底斯带不同构造单元的东延仍存在不同看法。为探讨这些问题,文中对冈底斯带东部地区然乌岩体中的闪长岩脉进行了锆石SHRIM PU-Pb定年和锆石Hf同位素分析。结果表明:然乌岩体中闪长岩脉的锆石SHRIM PU-Pb年龄为(114.2±0.9)Ma,与二长花岗岩为同期侵位。然乌闪长岩脉具有不均一的锆石Hf同位素组成,其εHf(t)值介于-4.2～+4.9,对应的Hf同位素地壳模式年龄为0.85～1.44Ga。闪长岩脉的全岩εNd(t)值为-4.7,Nd同位素两阶段模式年龄(TDM2)为1.29Ga,与锆石Hf同位素模式年龄一致。然乌地区同期发生的闪长质岩浆和花岗质岩浆侵位以及不均一的锆石Hf同位素组成,很可能表明然乌地区大约在115Ma发生了重要的岩浆混合作用。结合锆石Hf同位素地壳模式年龄的区域性对比,我们认为,与北冈底斯带相比,然乌地区同中冈底斯带之间具有更好的可对比性。     

冈底斯中段达居复式花岗岩体成因:锆石U-Pb年代学、元素地球化学与Hf同位素制约

本文报道了冈底斯中段达居复式岩体的锆石U-Pb年龄与Hf同位素组成,以及全岩元素地球化学组成,据此探讨了岩浆的形成机制与演化过程,进而全面揭示了岩体的成因。根据岩性和岩相特征,达居复式岩体可区分为昌那和桑嘎两个单元,前者岩性主要为花岗闪长岩,岩体内含丰富的闪长质包体;后者岩性主要为中细粒二长花岗岩,岩性总体较均匀。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果表明,昌那单元花岗闪长岩和其中的闪长质包体具有一致的成岩年龄,分别为52.7±0.7Ma和52.3±0.6Ma,桑嘎单元二长花岗岩的成岩年龄为45.3±0.7Ma。地球化学组成上,二单元岩石均具有亚碱、准铝的特征,碱铝指数(AKI值)多低于0.9,铝饱和指数(A/NKC值)均小于1.0,属于准铝质钙碱性I型花岗岩。它们均富集轻稀土和大离子亲石元素(如Rb,Pb),亏损高场强元素(如Nb,Ta,Ti),具有弧型岩浆岩的地球化学组成特征。与昌那单元岩石相比,桑嘎单元岩石富硅、富碱,具有较高的Rb/Sr、Rb/Ba比值,并表现出较显著的Eu负异常,指示其经历了较高程度的分异演化。昌那单元花岗闪长岩和其中的闪长质包体具有一致亏损的Hf同位素组成,二者的ε_(Hf)(t)值分别为+4.6~+11.5和+5.0~+11.1,桑嘎单元总体也具有亏损的Hf同位素组成,但其ε_(Hf)(t)值具有较大的变化范围(-0.5~+14.7)。综合分析表明,昌那单元岩石应为底侵的亏损地幔岩浆与其诱发初生地壳熔融产生的岩浆经混合作用形成,桑嘎单元岩石为这一混源岩浆经进一步分异演化后侵位结晶的产物,且成岩过程中极可能有古老的印度地壳物质参与。     

藏南林周盆地林子宗火山岩的时代、成因及其地质意义：锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素证据

本文对林子宗火山岩命名地-林周盆地内典中组最底部的英安质火山角砾岩和年波组下段的流纹质熔结凝灰岩进行了锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素分析,结果显示前者形成于62.5±1.1 Ma,而后者形成于56.4±1.2 Ma,表明林子宗火山活动的起始时间略晚于K/T界限年龄.岩浆锆石的εHf（T）值分别为＋9.0～＋0.5和＋11.0～＋4.8,显示亏损地幔的特征,与同时期冈底斯岩体的岩浆锆石相似,应为同源产物,源自于地幔楔的部分熔融.此外,典中组样品含有石炭纪年龄的捕获锆石,它们的εHf（T）值介于-0.6～-3.2之间,具有中元古代的Hf同位素模式年龄,与附近念青唐古拉岩带花冈岩的捕获锆石相若,暗示拉萨陆块老地壳的混染在岩浆演化中亦扮演了角色.结合区域地质,我们认为在藏南拉萨陆块上的林子宗火山岩是印度与欧亚大陆碰撞之前到碰撞初期新特提斯海洋板块向北俯冲、拆离作用的结果.     

冈底斯南缘变形花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成：新特提斯洋早侏罗世俯冲作用的证据

本文对产于冈底斯南缘一个变形花岗岩进行了主量元素、微量元素、原位锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年和锆石Hf同位素组成研究.结果表明,变形花岗岩为高硅（SiO2=73.38%～76.06%）钙碱性岩系,K2O/N%0=0.69.1.17.铝指数（A/CNK）=1.03～1.07,为弱过铝质岩石.变形花岗岩微量元素组成显示贫大离子亲石元素（e.g.Rb=47×10^-6～71×10^-6）和高场强元素（e.g.Nb=1.31×10^-6～-3.09×10^-6,Ta=0.23×10^-6 ～0.54×10^-6）,具有岛弧型花岗岩的地球化学属性.变形花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄为178±1Ma,该年龄代表岩浆结晶年龄.锆石Hf同位素组成显示εHf（178Ma）值变化于＋14.1～＋17.7,表明变形花岗岩岩浆来自初生地壳物质的部分熔融.变形花岗岩的岩石成因与新特提斯洋向欧亚板块南缘的俯冲消减作用存在联系,其岩浆结晶年龄反映了新特提斯洋发生俯冲消减的开始时代不晚于早侏罗纪,说明了新特提斯洋经历了较长时间的演化.     

西藏班公湖-怒江缝合带西段中特提斯洋盆的双向俯冲:来自岛弧型花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄和元素地球化学的证据

笔者调查发现西藏班公湖-怒江缝合带西段狮泉河-改则-洞错蛇绿岩带北侧和拉果错蛇绿岩带南侧都有岛弧型花岗岩岩基产出。这些岩体岩性上以中粒花岗闪长岩为主,岩石化学上明显富集大离子不相容元素(LILE) Rb、Th、U、K、Pb,亏损高场强元素(HFSE)Nb、Ta、Ti,具有岛弧型岩浆岩的本质特征,指示着班公湖中特提斯洋盆存在双向俯冲。锆石U-Pb LAICPMS定年结果显示岩体在不同构造位置年龄并不一致,位于狮泉河-改则-洞错蛇绿岩带北侧的嘎拉勒和改则北两个岩体锆石²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄分别为155.6±1.1Ma(MSWD=1.7)和142.15±0.35Ma(MSWD=2.9),位于拉果错蛇绿岩带南侧的扎布耶北岩体的锆石²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为134.07±0.77Ma(MSWD=1.8),表明班公湖中特提斯洋盆向北俯冲发生在晚侏罗世,而向南的俯冲发生在早白垩世,两者相差约8Ma。岛弧花岗岩浆都是由地幔楔部分熔融而成,岩浆源区经历过来自俯冲板片的沉积物熔体的交代。不同岩体的源区沉积物熔体的交代比例不同:扎布耶北岩体最多,大体在12%~16%之间;嘎拉勒岩体次之,在9%~13%之间;改则北岩体最少,为5%~10%。     

Crustal response to continental collisions between the Tibet, Indian, South China and North China Blocks: geochronological constraints from the Songpan-Garzê Orogenic Belt, western China

We report SHRIMP U–Th–Pb monazite, conventional U–Pb titanite, Sm–Nd garnet and Rb–Sr muscovite and biotite ages for metamorphic rocks from the Danba Domal Metamorphic Terrane in the eastern Songpan‐Garzê Orogenic Belt (eastern Tibet Plateau). These ages are used to determine the timing of polyphase metamorphic events and the subsequent cooling history. The oldest U–Th–Pb monazite and Sm–Nd garnet ages constrain an early Barrovian metamorphism (M1) in the interval c. 204–190 Ma, coincident with extensive Indosinian granitic magmatism throughout the Songpan‐Garzê Orogenic Belt. A second, higher‐grade sillimanite‐grade metamorphic event (M2), recorded only in the northern part of the Danba terrane, was dated at c. 168–158 Ma by a combination of U–Th–Pb monazite and titanite and Sm–Nd garnet ages. It is suggested that M1 was a thermal event that affected the entire orogenic belt while M2 may represent a local thermal perturbation. Rb–Sr muscovite ages range from c. 138–100 Ma, whereas Rb–Sr biotite ages cluster at c. 34–24 Ma. These ages document regional cooling at rates of c. 2–3 °C Myr^?1 following the M1 peak for most of the terrane. However, those parts of the terrane affected by the higher‐temperature M2 event (e.g. the migmatite zone) experienced initially more rapid (c. 8 °C Myr^?1) cooling after peak M2 before joining the regional slow cooling path defined by the rest of the terrane at c. 138 Ma. Regional slow cooling between c. 138 and c. 30 Ma is thought to be the result of post‐tectonic isostatic uplift after extensive crustal thickening caused by collision of the South and North China Blocks. The clustering of biotite Rb–Sr ages marks the onset of rapid uplift across the entire terrane commencing at c. 30–20 Ma. This cooling history is shared with many other regions of the Tibet Plateau, suggesting that uplift of the Tibet Plateau (including the Songpan‐Garzê Orogenic Belt) occurred predominantly in the last c. 30 Myr as a response to the continuing northwards collision of India with Eurasia.     

Paleomagnetism of late Cretaceous dykes in the Gangdese belt: New constraints on the position and structure of the southern margin of Asia prior to the India-Asia collision

This paper report paleomagnetic data from late Cretaceous diorite dykes that sub-vertically intrude granodiorites in the eastern Gangdese belt near the city of Lhasa. Our research goals are to provide further constraints on pre-collisional structure of the southern margin of Asia and the onset of the India-Asia collision. Magnetite is identified as the main magnetic carrier in our study. The magnetite shows no evidence of metamorphism or alteration as determined from optical and scanning electron microscope observations. A strong mineral orientation is revealed by anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility analysis both for the intruded dykes and the country rocks. The authors interpret this AMS fabric to have formed during intrusion rather than deformation. Fifteen of 23 sites yield acceptable site mean characteristic remanences with dual polarities. A scatter analysis of the virtual geomagnetic poles suggests that the mean result adequately averaged paleosecular variation. The paleomagnetic pole from the Gangdese dykes yields a paleolatitude of 14.3°N±5.8°N for the southern margin of Asia near Lhasa. The paleolatitude corresponds to an in-between position of the Lhasa terrane during about 130–60 Ma. Furthermore, the mean declination of the characteristic remanent magnetization reveals a significant counterclockwise rotation of 18°±9° for the sampling location since about 83 Ma. In the light of tectonic setting of the dykes, the strike of the southern margin of Asia near Lhasa is restored to trend approximately about 310°, which is compatible with the hypothesis that the southern margin of Eurasia had a quasi-linear structure prior to its collision with India.©2023 China Geology Editorial Office.     

Deep-derived enclaves （belonging to middle-lower crust metamorphic rocks） in the Liuhe-Xiangduo area, eastern Tibet： Evidence from petrogeochemistry

信阳周庄变辉长岩LA-ICPMS U-Pb定年与华北南缘复杂演化过程

河南信阳周庄变基性侵入岩体出露于华北克拉通南缘,主要由斜长石+角闪石(+绿帘石)组成,可见残余辉长结构,属经历了绿帘角闪岩相-低角闪岩相变质的变辉长岩.对变辉长岩的两个样品中的锆石进行了LA-ICPMS U-Pb同位素测年分析.这两个样品都给出了859Ma的谐和上交点年龄,但分别给出了356±82Ma和234±36Ma的谐和下交点年龄.其中一个样品还给出了另外两组谐和的年龄,它们的~(206)Pb/~(238)U表面年龄分别是616±10Ma和442±6.5Ma.我们解释共同的谐和上交点年龄(859Ma)代表着岩体的侵位时代,是Rodinia超大陆裂解事件在华北克拉通南缘的早期记录(如基性岩浆侵入作用);其他四组年龄是岩体后期所经历改造事件的年龄记录,包括新元古代晚期的再次裂解(如变质重结晶作用)和古生代、早中生代时期扬子克拉通向北的俯冲-碰撞对华北南缘的强烈改造过程.     

新特提斯洋晚侏罗世岩浆作用: 藏南白朗地体辉绿岩锆石U-Pb年龄和地球化学证据

藏南雅鲁藏布江缝合带代表印度板块和欧亚板块的碰撞界线,带中洋岛型基性岩构造归属还存在争议。雅鲁藏布江缝合带中段白朗地体为近北东—南西向展布的构造岩片,由放射虫硅质岩、硅质泥岩、泥页岩、凝灰岩、微晶灰岩、玄武岩、辉绿岩、辉长岩组成。辉绿岩和辉长岩呈岩脉或岩床侵入沉积地层中。测年结果显示,这些辉绿岩形成于晚侏罗世,锆石206Pb/238U年龄为150.3 ±0.8 Ma（n=39,MSWD=1.8）。地球化学特征表明,岩石富集轻稀土元素、大离子亲石元素（Rb、Sr、Pb）和高场强元素（Th、Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf和Ti）,源区具有明显的石榴子石印记,是没有经历陆壳混染的洋岛型辉绿岩。这些特征与雅鲁藏布江缝合带晚侏罗世—早白垩世洋岛型基性岩相似。由此认为,这些洋岛型基性岩可能起源于新特提斯洋板内环境,代表了海山的残迹。结合区域地质资料,提出侏罗纪新特提斯洋地幔柱活动可能驱使大洋岩石圈向北俯冲到拉萨地体之下,并形成安第斯型大陆边缘,至早白垩世,先期俯冲的新特提斯大洋岩石圈与上覆板片解耦并向南后撤,诱发冈底斯弧前伸展形成现今保存在缝合带中的蛇绿岩。
