川西苏地二长花岗岩地球化学、锆石年代学及Lu-Hf同位素特征——对松潘—甘孜地块构造背景的限定

【研究目的】查明松潘—甘孜地块东南部花岗岩地球化学及构造演化特征,对在该区寻找稀有金属矿产具有重要意义。【研究方法】在野外地质调查基础上,采集了地块东南部前人研究未涉及的苏地岩体二长花岗岩样品开展了镜下鉴定、岩石地球化学及锆石LA-(MC)-ICP-MS U-Pb和Lu-Hf同位素测试工作。【研究结果】结果表明,苏地岩体二长花岗岩SiO₂含量为63.72%~66.48%,中—高钾、富钠、贫钙,AR值为1.44~1.83,A/CNK值为0.98~1.16,为中—高钾钙碱性系列;岩石相对富集K、Rb、Cs等大离子亲石元素（LILE）,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素（HFSE）;岩石稀土总量为157.16×10^-6~187.88×10^-6,LREE/HREE为6.26~9.46,δEu为0.62~0.74,具有弱—中等的负铕异常;锆石U-Pb定年结果为（221.1±1.5）Ma（MSWD=0.30,n=22）和（214.5±1.5）Ma（MSWD=0.22,n=22）,表明苏地岩体原始岩浆初始结晶时代为晚三叠世中期;锆石Lu-Hf同位素ε_Hf(t)和T_DM2分别为-6.56~-4.12和1.67~1.51 Ga。【结论】综合分析认为苏地二长花岗岩为较为典型的I型花岗岩,其可能为源于下地壳的初始岩浆于晚三叠世中期在造山碰撞闭合转入伸展体制下上升侵位过程中形成。松潘—甘孜地块东南部在晚三叠世中期处于后碰撞造山环境。     

藏东同普杂岩体年代学、地球化学、Sr-Nd同位素特征及大地构造意义

同普杂岩体位于藏东江达地区。本文对该杂岩体岩相学、年代学、主微量元素以及Sr-Nd同位素进行了详细的研究。结果表明,该杂岩体主要由石英闪长岩、花岗闪长岩、含黑云母花岗岩和斑状花岗岩4种岩石类型组成,前三者形成时代分别为262.8±1.5Ma、263.9±1.9Ma、263.7±1.6Ma。其中,含黑云母花岗岩与斑状花岗岩呈渐变过渡关系,它们和花岗闪长岩一起均具有高SiO₂(65.1%~76.6%)、高K₂O+Na₂O(4.84%~8.13%),低MgO(0.25%~2.28%),低FeO^T(0.99%~4.44%),高A/CNK值(除一件样品外两者A/CNK值均大于1.1),以及Ba、Sr、Eu亏损等,均符合强过铝质S型花岗岩的特征。但前两者与后者CaO/Na₂O、Rb/Ba、Rb/Sr值均存在明显差异,哈克图解上也不存在线性关系,表明它们源区存在差异。石英闪长岩则具有相对低的SiO₂(54.2%~55.4%)、低K₂O+Na₂O(3.15%~4.72%),高MgO(3.78%~4.79%),高FeO^T(6.13%~8.09%)等特征。其还具有明显的Nb负异常,不具有Sr的负异常,以及轻稀土相对富集等,均符合岛弧岩浆岩的特征。Sr-Nd同位素特征显示,斑状花岗岩与花岗闪长岩具有相似的初始Sr比值(分别为0.7099,0.7125)和ε_Nd(t)值(分别为-8.6,-10.3),而石英闪长岩则具有较低的初始Sr比值(0.7062),较高的ε_Nd(t)值(1.37)。前两者均落入研究区S型花岗岩与高硅流纹岩区域,后者落在金沙江MORB的下方。通过综合分析,本文认为同普杂岩体形成于火山弧环境,且各岩石类型具有不同的源区:含黑云母花岗岩、斑状花岗岩与花岗闪长岩的源区分别为古老的泥质变质岩和贫泥质的变质砂岩;石英闪长岩则来自富集地幔。表明在晚二叠世早期(~263Ma)金沙江洋盆仍处于俯冲阶段,江达地区主要受金沙江洋盆俯冲消减体系控制而非地幔柱体系。     

新疆准噶尔北东缘乌图布拉克岩体形成时代、地球化学特征及地质意义

乌图布拉克岩体位于准噶尔北东缘,额尔齐斯-玛因鄂博构造带南侧。岩体主要由花岗闪长岩和二长花岗岩组成,有少量石英闪长岩和钾长花岗岩。岩体的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为360.1±3.6Ma。岩石的K₂O+Na₂O=7.05%~9.48%,A/NKC=0.91~1.04,属准铝-过铝质“I”型花岗岩。岩石稀土总量低,∑REE为72×10^-6~184×10^-6,轻稀土富集,(La/Yb)_N=5~13。石英闪长岩、花岗闪长岩、二长花岗岩具弱的铕负异常或无明显异常（δEu=0.72~0.98）;钾长花岗岩铕负异常明显（δEu=0.15~0.21）。在微量元素配分模式中,具有Sr、Ba、P、Ti的亏损,而Nb、Ta亏损不明显。岩石有低的Sr初始值（0.70165~0.70462）和高的ε_Nd(t)u（+4.7~+6.9）。2个样品的Nd模式年龄分别为758Ma和551Ma。上述特征表明,岩浆可能具有较复杂的来源,推测该岩体岩浆可能来源于年轻的玄武质地壳,并有幔源物质的加入。综合本文资料及区域地质特征分析,阿尔泰造山带后碰撞时限可能为360~290Ma,即泥盆纪末-石炭纪末。     

川西松林口岩体锆石U-Pb定年及其地球化学特征

松林口岩体位于松潘—甘孜造山带中东部,为确定岩体的侵位时代和地球化学特征,通过镜下薄片观察、主微量元素分析以及锆石U-Pb测年,对松林口岩体进行了研究。结果表明,松林口岩体由二长花岗岩体和花岗闪长岩体组成,花岗闪长岩锆石²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄加权平均值为（212.4±0.9） Ma （MSWD=0.66）,二长花岗岩锆石²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄加权平均值为（222.4±1.1） Ma （MSWD=0.39）,形成于晚三叠世,由两期次岩浆作用形成;岩石的SiO₂含量56.56%~61.97%;铝饱和指数A/CNK=0.93~1.05,全碱含量3.78~5.38,K₂O/Na₂O=1.02~1.68,里特曼指数σ=1.194~1.612,样品属于准铝质中—高钾钙碱性岩系列。岩石轻重稀土比值LREE/HREE=5.22~7.13,La_N/Yb_N比值为6.93~8.96,轻、重稀土分异较明显,具较强的负Eu异常。岩石Mg^#值较高（50.97~61.27）,w（Rb）/w（Sr）为0.12~0.25,Rb-（Y+Nb）图解显示为后碰撞环境。因此,松林口二长花岗岩—花岗闪长岩属后碰撞准铝质中—高钾钙碱性I型花岗岩类。     

大别造山带研子岗碱性岩体成因及其构造意义：锆石U-Pb年龄和地球化学制约

出露于大别造山带西南部的研子岗碱性杂岩体侵位于元古代和新太古代随县群中,本文采用锆石LA-ICPMS U-Pb定年方法,获得岩体的主体岩性角闪正长岩的岩浆锆石年龄为133± 1Ma,代表岩体的结晶年龄,这一年龄也是大别造山带中已知形成时代最早的早白垩世碱性岩体的结晶年龄（单颗粒锆石U-Pb法）。研子岗碱性杂岩体具有碱性岩典型的富碱（K₂O＋Na₂O＝8.38%~11.26%）、低硅（SiO₂＝63.41%~66.51%）的特点。主要矿物为微斜条纹长石,暗色矿物主要为镁角闪石。地球化学特征表明,全部岩石均具有高Ba-Sr花岗岩类高Ba（1230× 10^-6~4865× 10^-6）、高Sr（583× 10^-6~2088× 10^-6）和无负Eu异常（Eu/Eu^*＝0.97~1.12）等特征,并具有A型花岗岩的部分地球化学特征。岩石的Y/Nb比（0.46~1.09）较低,具洋岛玄武岩的部分地球化学特征,(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) _i初始比值（0.70513~0.70543）较低,表明岩体的物源主要来源于幔源。Nd二阶段模式年龄(t_2DM=1859~1942Ma)和锆石Hf二阶段模式年龄(t_DM2=2130~2330Ma）较老,ε_Nd(133)值(-12.5~-11.4）和ε_Hf(133)值(-18.2~-15.4）较低。综合分析表明,岩体主要为古老的富集岩石圈地幔物质低程度部分熔融和随后地壳物质轻度AFC（混染和分离结晶作用）过程的产物,源岩熔融的热量主要来源于软流圈物质的上涌底侵作用提供。研子岗岩体形成于碰撞后构造环境,岩体的形成预示着大别造山带早白垩世造山过程的即将结束,板内时期的即将来临。     

甘肃敦煌党河水库TTG地球化学特征、锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年及其构造意义

甘肃敦煌党河水库岩体以花岗闪长岩为主,并构成英云闪长岩-花岗闪长岩-奥长花岗岩的TTG组合。锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年为440±12Ma (MSWD=2.5),代表TTG系列岩石的侵位时代。岩石化学成分中SiO₂含量约为57.02%~72.75%,随着SiO₂含量的增加,TiO₂、Al₂O₃、MgO、CaO和FeO等的含量相应下降,这表明该套岩石具岩浆成因,是角闪石和斜长石的分离作用控制下岩浆分异的产物。岩石的稀土元素总量较低,轻重稀土分异明显,(La/Yb) _N＝4.70~58.88,无或略具微弱的Eu异常,近于平行的稀土元素配分曲线表明所有岩石具有同成因的亲缘关系。岩石富集大离子亲石元素Rb、K、Th、Sr等,亏损Nb和Ta等高场强元素以及P和Ti。在Rb/30-Hf-3×Ta和Rb/30-Hf-0.25×Nb图解上,所有岩石的投影点落到岛弧到后碰撞区。但从区域地质背景、TTG的产出环境、形成时代及与敦煌地块南北缘火成岩对比分析,认为该TTG系列岩石并非形成于岛孤构造环境,而是加里东造山作用晚期(约440Ma)红柳河缝合带和(或者)阿尔金北缘红柳沟拉配泉俯冲碰撞带,引发富含角闪石的下地壳源岩部分熔融形成岩浆,上侵过程中同化部分陆壳物质形成具有岛弧性质的岩浆岩。     

太行山麻棚地区高Ba-Sr花岗质侵入岩的地球化学、锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

华北克拉通经历了长期而复杂的地质过程,中生代时期在太行山地区构造岩浆活动强烈,形成了一系列中酸性岩体。麻棚岩体位于太行山北段,侵位于新太古代片麻岩和表壳岩中,由中心向边缘分别出露似斑状二长花岗岩、花岗闪长岩和石英闪长岩。前人已经对麻棚岩体进行过岩石学、岩石化学、岩体成因类型和年代学等多方面的研究,其花岗岩类型仍存有争议。本文对麻棚岩体进行了系统的岩石地球化学、锆石SHRIMP U-Pb同位素年代学分析和Lu-Hf同位素组成研究,进一步探讨了麻棚岩体的地球化学类型、形成时代和岩浆源区性质。岩石地球化学特征表明麻棚岩体具有较高的SiO₂、Na₂O+K₂O、Ba、Sr、LREE含量和K₂O/Na₂O值,较低的Al₂O₃、MgO、Rb、Nb、Ta、Th、U、Y、HREE含量和Mg^#值,无明显的Eu异常,明显亏损Nb、Ta、P、Ti等高场强元素,属于高Ba-Sr花岗岩。新获得的3个不同相带岩石的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb同位素²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为129.4±1.4、131.2±2.2和129.5±1.3 Ma,且具有相似主量元素组成及稀土和微量元素分布模式,反映了麻棚岩体为同一期岩浆活动产物。Lu-Hf同位素测试分析数据计算获得麻棚岩体岩浆锆石的εHf(t)值为-27.00～-15.44,二阶段模式年龄t_DM2为2 358～1 765 Ma。麻棚岩体是前寒武纪变质基底部分熔融形成的岩浆与幔源岩浆混合作用的结果。     

源区组成与转熔矿物组合的选择性带入对花岗岩成分变化的影响:以南秦岭宁陕花岗岩体群为例

南秦岭构造带发育大规模早中生代花岗质岩体群,它们是研究源区组成和转熔矿物的选择性带入（PAE）对酸性侵入岩成分变化影响的理想对象。锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,宁陕花岗质岩体群可划分为2个期次：早期以懒板凳岩体（二长花岗岩）为代表,形成时代约为223~220Ma,对应于同碰撞阶段;晚期以胭脂坝和老城岩体（石英闪长岩-花岗闪长岩）为代表,形成时代约为211~196Ma,对应于后碰撞阶段。所有花岗质岩石样品具有SiO₂含量变化大且相对含量高的特点（SiO₂>68%）,同时Cr、Ni含量较低,这些特征指示了岩浆演化过程中未经历明显的壳幔混合作用。在F-An-Or图解中,宁陕花岗岩样品沿着岩浆分离结晶趋势线分布,且它们的Sr-Nd同位素（⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_（t）=0.705348~0.705483;ε_Nd（t）值为-4.5~-4.7）组成较为均一,暗示其经历的同化混染作用较轻微。此外,元素协变图表明,宁陕花岗岩经历了角闪石+黑云母±斜长石的分离结晶。通过对比宁陕花岗岩与各种无水实验熔体,本文推测宁陕花岗岩的源区主要为杂砂岩和砂屑岩,而非玄武质地壳岩石。深成岩体的ε_Hf（t）值和二阶段Hf模式年龄表明其源区主要为中元古代地壳。主、微量元素（如Ti、Ca）与镁铁指数（摩尔Fe+Mg）的协变演化进一步表明,宁陕花岗岩是由含黑云母的砂屑岩（或杂砂岩）部分熔融形成,并伴随有单斜辉石、钛铁矿、锆石、磷灰石和榍石等转熔矿物组合的选择性带入。     

栖霞牙山花岗岩及其暗色包体地球化学特征及成因研究

栖霞牙山花岗岩体形成于中生代早白垩世（118 Ma）,其岩石类型以花岗岩和花岗闪长岩为主,岩体中发育大量的暗色闪长质微粒包体。通过对牙山花岗岩及其暗色包体地球化学特征研究表明,包体围岩w（SiO₂）=65.5%~68.82%,铝饱和度（A/CNK）为0.89~1.03<1.1,为准铝质钙碱性Ⅰ型花岗岩;暗色包体具有较低w（SiO₂）值（54.82%~60.89%）、高w（TFe₂O₃）值（6.11%~8.15%）、高w（MgO）值（3.57%~5.19%）的特征。稀土元素配分模式图显示二者皆为轻稀土富集的右倾型曲线,微量元素蛛网图中二者均表现为富集Ba、K等大离子亲石元素,亏损Ta、Nb、Ti等高场强元素,具有大陆地壳的特征。暗色包体与寄主岩石的Sr同位素初始比值（⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr）_i分别为0.709 29~0.709 58和0.709 21~0.709 71,应为同源岩浆的产物。两阶段Nd模式年龄（T_2DM）分为2 291 Ma-2 391 Ma和2 208 Ma-2 353 Ma,表明可能是古元古界陆壳物质部分熔融的产物。Pb同位素特征显示牙山岩体的原始岩浆以下地壳为主,w（Nb）/w（Ta）值介于下地壳与原始地幔之间,表明可能受到幔源物质的影响,包体中大量磷灰石呈针状结晶状态,进一步暗示存在岩浆混合作用。综上并结合区域构造背景认为,牙山岩体为早白垩世中晚期起源于火山弧环境的壳源特征花岗岩,形成过程中存在幔源物质的加入,它的形成与太平洋板块的俯冲作用密切相关。     

广西镇龙山地区花岗斑岩岩石地球化学及年代学研究

广西镇龙山地区发育大量脉状铅、锌、银多金属矿体，同时出露多个花岗斑岩和石英斑岩岩体，岩体和矿体受近东西向羊角山-长帽岭断裂控制。为研究岩体与矿体的关系，文章在详实野外地质工作的基础上，对研究区典型的岩体开展了岩石学、地球化学及锆石年代学研究。主量、微量元素组成显示，知府山花岗斑岩的w(SiO₂)为63.59%~68.78%，w(K²O)为4.5%~5.68%，w(MgO)为1.07%~1.77%；长帽岭花岗斑岩的w(SiO₂)为66.67%~69.75%，w(MgO)为0.71%~2%，w(K²O)为1.54%~3.91%。2个岩体均具有高硅、富钾、低镁的特征，A/CNK>1.1，均显示过铝质岩石特征。2个岩体均富集Rb、K、Ba、Th、U等大离子亲石元素，而亏损Nb、Sr、P、Ti等高场强元素，稀土元素总量（∑REE）平均值为187.94×10^-6，稀土元素配分模式呈轻稀土元素相对富集的右倾型，明显的Eu负异常。岩石地球化学特征及岩相学特征显示，该区花岗斑岩为高钾钙碱性过铝质S型花岗岩，岩体经历了较高程度的结晶分异。锆石U-Pb年龄结果显示，知府山、长帽岭花岗斑岩、洗马塘石英斑岩成岩年龄为92~95 Ma，形成于碰撞后伸展环境。成岩物质主要来自于上地壳物质的部分熔融，并有少量幔源物质加入。镇龙山地区多金属矿床在平面上围绕岩体显示高温到低温的矿化分带现象，成岩成矿时代在时间上具有一致性，表明岩浆活动与成矿作用之间存在成因联系，说明区内脉状铅锌银矿床属于岩浆热液矿床。晚白垩世岩浆热液成矿事件是华南地区燕山晚期成岩成矿事件的一部分，其构造背景与华南在晚白垩世受太平洋板块俯冲影响所致。     

内蒙古大井矿区及外围岩浆岩锆石U-Pb年龄及其对成矿时间的约束

大井是内蒙古东部地区的一处大型铜银锡多金属矿床,矿体呈脉状产出在二叠系林西组地层中,受NW或NWW向断裂控制。本文对大井矿区及其外围主要侵入岩体和火山岩开展了年代学和地球化学研究。LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石测年结果表明,大井矿区内靠近1号矿脉产出的2件霏细岩脉样品的锆石年龄分别为170.7±1.4Ma(MSWD=1.9)和170.7±1.1Ma(MSWD=1.3);矿区外围马鞍子黑云母二长花岗岩体的锆石年龄为279.7±1.3Ma(MSWD=0.74);唐家营子附近安山玢岩脉的锆石年龄为252.0±1.8Ma(MSWD=1.6);大四段村似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩体的锆石年龄为242.8±1.7Ma(MSWD=1.7);采自大坝南部的流纹质晶屑熔结凝灰岩、流纹质火山角砾熔岩和晶屑凝灰岩的锆石年龄分别为143.5±0.7Ma(MSWD=0.38),144.3±0.7Ma(MSWD=1.2)和145.3±1.0Ma(MSWD=2.5);小城子村南部石英斑岩脉的锆石年龄为146.1±0.9Ma(MSWD=1.7),安山玢岩脉的锆石年龄133.2±0.7Ma(MSWD=0.96)。反映本区至少存在四期岩浆活动,分别是海西晚期、印支早期、燕山早期和燕山中期。岩石地球化学分析结果表明,大井矿区及外围主要侵入岩(黑云母二长花岗岩、似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩、霏细岩、安山玢岩和石英斑岩)均为富SiO₂、富碱、准铝的钙碱性岩石,在SiO₂-K₂O图解上均落入"高钾钙碱系列"区。所有的岩石样品具有轻稀土分异明显、富集大离子亲石元素(LILE)的特征,其中Ba、Nb、Sr、P、Ti相对亏损,而Rb、Th、K、Ce、Nd、Hf、Sm、Y 和Yb相对富集。侵入岩和火山岩的年代学与岩石地球化学特征表明,马鞍子黑云母二长花岗岩和大四段村似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩的侵位可能与古亚洲洋的碰撞闭合有关,形成于挤压的构造环境;燕山早期侵入岩在本区并不发育,其形成环境还有待进一步查明,可能与西伯利亚板块和蒙古-华北板块之间的鄂霍茨克洋消亡及后碰撞造山有关;而燕山晚期大规模的侵入-火山喷发活动可能是由岩石圈减薄,区域大规模伸展所引起。根据本文对矿区内及外围侵入岩与火山岩的年代学研究,结合矿区地质和前人研究成果,认为大井铜银锡矿床的成矿主要与晚侏罗世-早白垩世岩浆活动(146~133Ma)有关,是区域伸展构造背景下岩浆活动的产物。     

Zircon U–Pb geochronology and Hf isotopic constraints on the petrogenesis of the Late Silurian Shidonggou granite from the Wulonggou area in the Eastern Kunlun Orogen,Northwest China

ABSTRACT

The Wulonggou area in the Eastern Kunlun Orogen (EKO) in Northwest China is characterized by extensive granitic magmatism, ductile faulting, and orogenic gold mineralizations. The Shidonggou granite is located in the central part of the Wulonggou area. This study investigated the major as well as trace-element compositions, zircon U–Pb dates, and zircon Hf isotopic compositions of the Shidonggou granite. Three Shidonggou granite samples yielded an average U–Pb zircon age of 416 Ma (Late Silurian). The Late Silurian Shidonggou granite is peraluminous, with high alkali contents, high Ga/Al ratios, high (K₂O + Na₂O)/CaO ratios, and high Fe₂O₃^T/MgO ratios, suggesting an A-type granite. The Shidonggou granite samples have zircon ε_Hf(t) values ranging from ?7.1 to +4.4. The Hf isotopic data suggest that the Late Silurian granite was derived from the partial melting of Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic juvenile mantle-derived mafic lower crust. Detailed geochronological and geochemical data suggest that the Late Silurian granite was emplaced in a post-collisional environment following the closure of the Proto-Tethys Ocean. Combining data of other A-type granitic rocks with ages of Late Early Silurian to Middle Devonian, such post-collisional setting related to the Proto-Tethys Ocean commenced at least as early as ~430 Ma (Late Early Silurian), and sustained up to ~389 Ma (Middle Devonian) in the EKO.     

Zircon U–Pb and molybdenite Re–Os geochronology,Hf isotope analyses,and whole-rock geochemistry of the Donggebi Mo deposit,eastern Tianshan,Northwest China,and their geological significance

The geodynamic setting of Mesozoic magmatic rocks and associated mineralization in eastern Tianshan, Northwest China, are attracting increasing attention. The newly discovered giant Donggebi molybdenum deposit (0.508 Mt at 0.115% Mo) is located in the central part of eastern Tianshan, Xinjiang. The molybdenum mineralization was genetically associated with the Donggebi stock, comprised of porphyritic granite and granite porphyry. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) zircon U–Pb dating constrains that the porphyritic granite and granite porphyry emplacement occurred at 233.8 ± 2.5 Ma and 231.7 ± 2.6 Ma, respectively. The Re–Os model ages of six molybdenite samples range from 235.2 to 237.0 Ma, with a weighted mean age of 236.1 ± 1.4 Ma, which is roughly consistent within errors with the zircon U–Pb ages, suggesting a Middle Triassic magmatic–mineralization event at Donggebi. Geochemically, the Donggebi granitoids are characterized by high SiO₂ and K₂O contents, with low MgO contents, belonging to high-K calc-alkaline granites. These rocks show pronounced enrichment in K, Rb, U, and Pb, and depletion in Sr, Ba, P, and Ti, with negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.20–0.38). In situ Hf isotopic analyses of zircon from the porphyritic granite and granite porphyry yielded ε_Hf(t) values ranging from +6.6 to +10.5, and from +5.5 to +10.1, respectively. The geochemical and isotopic data imply that the primary magmas of the Donggebi granitoids could have originated by partial melting of a juvenile lower crust that involved some mantle components. Combined with the regional geological history, geochemistry of the Donggebi granitoids, and new isotopic age data, we thus propose that the Donggebi molybdenum deposit was formed in the Middle Triassic, and occurred in an intracontinental extension setting in eastern Tianshan.     

Geochemical characteristics,cooling history and mineralization significance of Zhangtiantang pluton in South Jiangxi Province,P.R. China

The zircon SHRIMP dating of the Zhangtiantang granite gave an age of 159±7 Ma., which shows that the granite was produced at the early Late Jurassic. The Ar-Ar plateau ages of biotite and K-feldspar from the Zhangtiantang pluton are 153.2±1.1 Ma and 135.8±1.2 Ma, respectively. The Ar-Ar anti-isochrone ages of biotite and K-feldspar are 152.5±1.7Ma and 135.4±2.7Ma, respectively. The ages represent the isotopic closure ages of minerals in the pluton. The Zhangtiantang granites are regarded as peraluminous crust-derived type granites to possess the typical geochemical characteristics of calc-alkaline rocks on continental margin, with enriched Si, K, Al (average value of A/CNK as 1.18), HREE, Rb, U, and Th, heavily depleted V, Cr, Co, Ni, Ti, Nb-Ta, Zr, Sr, P, and Ba, strongly negative Eu and common corundum normative (average value of C as 1.84). The εNd_(t) values of the Zhangtiantang granite are −5.84 to −7.79, and t _2DM values are 1.69 to 1.83 Ga, which indicates partial melting of continental-crust metamorphic sedimentary rocks during the Middle Proterozoic. The cooling history of the Zhangtiantang granitic pluton indicates that the cooling velocity of pluton was faster (about 67°C/Ma) from zircon (158 Ma) to biotite (152 Ma), and was slower (about12°C/Ma) from biotite (152.5 Ma) to K-feldspar (135.8 Ma). It can be deduced that the temporal gap (about 10 Ma) between the granite formmation and W-Sn mineralization in South China may be related to ordinary magma-hydrothermal processes by the variational cooling curve of the pluton.

The Tashisayi nephrite deposit is located in South Altyn Tagh.in Qiemo County,Xinjiang Province,northwest China.It is a recent discovery in the vast,well-known Kunlun-Altyn nephrite belt distributed along the south of the Tarim Basin,producing more than half of the nephrite from the whole belt in 2017.Field investigations revealed that it is a dolomitic marble-related(D-type)nephrite deposit,but little is known about its age of formation and relationships between the granites and marble.Here we report field investigations,petrography of the neph rite,as well as petrography,geochemistry,geochronology of the zoisite-quartz altered intrusive rock and adjacent granites.An A-type granite is identified with a SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age of 926± 7 Ma,suggesting it was emplaced in an extensional tectonic environment at that time.The altered intrusive rock has a cluster of U-Pb zircon age of 433± 10 Ma.with similar trace element features to the A-type granite,suggesting it was formed in an extensional regime at this later time.Nephrite formed because of the metasomatism of dolomite marble by hydrothermal fluids.It is inferred that Ca~(2+) was released from the dolomitic marble by metasomatism forming Ca-rich fluids,which caused alteration of both the intrusive rocks(6.00-8.22 wt.% CaO)and granite(1.76-3.68 wt.% CaO)near the nephrite ore bodies.It is also inferred that Fe2+ from the granite migrated towards the dolomite marble.The fluids gave rise to the formation of Ca-minerals.such as zoisite,in the nephrite and altered intrusive rock,and epidote in the granite.Based on the contact relationships.similarity in hydrothermal processes,and consumption of Ca~(2+),the Tashisayi nephrite is considered to have formed at the same time as the alteration of the intrusive rocks,i.e.～433 Ma.The geochronological similarity(～926 Ma.433 Ma)of South Altyn and North Qaidam may suggest that tectonically they belong to one single complex in the past,which was offset by the Altyn Tagh fault(ATF).The similar formation ages of the nephrites from Altyn Tagh(433 Ma)and the previously studied areas of West Kunlun(378-441 Ma)and East Kunlun(416 Ma)indicate that these nephrites formed during the closure of Proto-Tethys and in the accompanving post-collisional.extensional environment.     

The Late Triassic Dengfuxian A-type granite,Hunan Province: age,petrogenesis, and implications for understanding the late Indosinian tectonic transition in South China

The Triassic (Indosinian) granites in the South China Block (SCB) have important tectonic significance for understanding the evolution of Eastern Asia. The Dengfuxian biotite granite in eastern Hunan Province, China, reported in this article, was recognized as Late Triassic (late Indosinian) weakly peraluminous A-type granite with a zircon laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry U–Pb age of 225.7 ± 1.6 Ma. It is enriched in F, Cs, Rb, Th, high field strength elements, and rare earth elements (REEs) and depleted in Ba, Sr, P, Ti, Nb, and Ta, with high Ga/Al ratios and zircon saturation temperatures. The Dengfuxian biotite granite shows high initial Sr isotope values (0.715932 to 0.716499) and negative ?_Nd(t) (?10.46 to ?9.67) and ?_Hf(t) (?9.92 to ?6.29) values, corresponding to the Nd model ages of 1.79 to 1.85 Ga and the Hf model ages of 1.65 to 1.88 Ga. It is proposed that the Dengfuxian biotite granite was derived from high-temperature partial melting of the Palaeoproterozoic lower crust undergoing granulitization. Some Late Triassic A-type granites were recently identified in the SCB with the ages between 202 and 232 Ma. These A-type granites have the same geochemical characteristics and petrogenesis as Dengfuxian A-type granite, and show A₂-subtype granite affinity. The Late Triassic A-type granite formed a NE-trending granite belt, which is consistent with the main NE-trending faults in the SCB. The formation of these A-type granites was in response to the subduction of the palaeo-Pacific plate underneath the SCB, and indicates an extensional tectonic environment in the SCB. Combined with previous studies on tectonic evolution, we suggest that there may be a tectonic transition inside the SCB from compression to extension at least from 225 to 230 Ma.     

南祁连奥陶纪花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄及地质意义

加里东运动是祁连山早古生代以来较为重要的构造变形期, 其中以发生在晚志留世与早泥盆世之间的构造活动最为强烈。在加里东早期开始有花岗岩类侵入体涌现, 到加里东晚期时, 南祁连出现较发育的中-酸性侵入岩, 并尤以南祁连西段较为集中, 这些岩体见于哈拉湖周围以及阳康、织合玛等地。应用激光烧蚀多接收器电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(LA-MC-ICPMS)方法, 对南祁连扫迪南部侵位于志留系巴龙贡葛尔组(Sb)中的花岗岩体进行了精确的锆石U-Pb定年研究, 结果表明, 花岗岩中锆石206Pb/238U年龄平均值为461.5±1.6 Ma, 指示扫迪南花岗岩体的地质时代属中奥陶世晚期, 故巴龙贡葛尔组(Sb)时代应该早于中奥陶世。
