北祁连造山带老虎山奥陶系硅质岩地球化学特征及古地理意义

对北祁连造山带老虎山地区下奥陶统和中、上奥陶统硅质岩的沉积学和地球化学研究表明：下奥陶统硅质岩为生物化学作用成因,沉积于被动大陆边缘深海环境;中、上奥陶统下部与玄武岩共生的硅质岩显示热液成因,沉积于洋脊环境;中、上奥陶统上部硅质岩指示生物化学成因,形成于大陆边缘环境。上述特征表明老虎山地区在早奥陶世为相对稳定的被动大陆边缘构造环境,所含硅质岩和陆缘碎屑岩为大陆斜坡相浊流沉积。中、晚奥陶世柴达木板块向华北板块俯冲在弧后产生离散型活动大陆边缘,形成弧后盆地,硅质岩及其共生的枕状玄武岩和浊积岩应属于扩张弧后盆地的产物。     

北祁连造山带石包城地区花岗岩年代学及成因

北祁连造山带内发育大量早古生代花岗质岩石,对其进行研究有助于加深对造山带构造演化的理解。本文以带内西段石包城地区的花岗岩为研究对象,对其进行锆石U-Pb年代学、Hf同位素以及地球化学方面的研究。结果表明:(1)该花岗岩形成时代为465~463Ma,地球化学数据表明其属于钙碱性系列,并具强过铝质特征;(2)该花岗岩T_(Zr)和T_(REE)平均温度分别为760℃和732℃,ε_(Hf)(t)变化于+7.6~+13.5,二阶段模式年龄变化于581~957Ma;(3)可能属I-S过渡型花岗岩,是新生基性地壳低温条件下由于角闪石脱水分解而发生部分熔融而成,并混入了少量中-新元古代沉积组分,岩浆未发生明显的分离结晶作用,残留相为石榴石、角闪石和斜长石为主的麻粒岩;(4)该花岗岩形成于北祁连洋北向俯冲的活动大陆边缘背景之下,并在侵位上升过程中加入了部分沉积物质。

The Grenvillian Songshugou ophiolite in the Qinling Mountains, Central China: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Qinling orogenic belt

The Qinling Mountains in Central China mark a gigantic composite orogenic belt with a complex tectonic evolution involving multiple phases of rifting and convergence. This belt separates the North China and South China Blocks and consists of the South and North Qinling terranes separated by the Shangdan suture. The suture is marked by the Grenvillian Songshugou ophiolite along the southern margin of the North Qinling terrane, which is key to understanding the Proterozoic tectonic evolution of the belt. The ophiolite consists of highly metamorphosed ultramafic and mafic rocks. Three groups of meta-basalts are present: group 1 rocks are LREE depleted and have a MORB compositional affinity. Their low Ta/Yb ratios (<0.1) are consistent with high degrees of partial melting of a depleted asthenospheric mantle. Rocks of group 2 have higher TiO₂ (1.63–2.08 wt%) and Ta/Yb ratios (>0.12), and display slight enrichment of LREE, suggesting that the original magmas were derived from a depleted mantle source mixed with some enriched material. Samples from group 3 are enriched in LREE and other incompatible elements (Ti, Zr, Ta, Nb), suggesting derivation from an enriched mantle source, possibly a plume. All the basalts have high εNd(t) (+4.2 to +6.9), variable εSr(t) and high ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios for given ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios. These characteristics are compatible with formation at a mid-ocean ridge system above an anomalous Dupal mantle region. The mafic rocks have a Sm–Nd whole-rock isochron age of 1030 ± 46 Ma.The Songshugou ophiolite was emplaced onto the southern margin of the North Qinling terrane, an active continental margin from the Meso-Proterozoic to Neo-Proterozoic.     

Sedimentary geochemistry of chert from the Middle-Upper Ordovician in Shihuigou area, North Qilian orogenic belt and its tectonic implication

The North Qilian orogenic belt is an elongate tectonic unit that lies between the North China plate to the north and the Middle Qilian microplate to the south, and is formed by a collision of the two plates in the Caledonian. The Shihuigou Section from Yongdeng County, Gansu Province, is in the eastern sector of the North Qilian Mountains, spanning the Ordovician island-arc zones. The Zhongpu Group is distributed in the Shihuigou area and composed of medium-basic volcanic rocks and volcanic clastic rocks interspersed with cherts, limestones, slates, and metamorphic sandstones. The geochemistry of chert from the Zhongpu Group reveals that all cherts coexisting with island-arc volcanic rocks formed in a continental margin basin environment. Research results of the rare earth elements reveal that these cherts formed in a relatively deep-water basin with no significant terrestrial interference. Therefore, it is inferred that the North Qilian orogenic belt was previously an archipelagic ocean in the Ordovician. Translated from Geological Review, 2006, 52(2): 184–189 [译自: 地质论评]     

北祁连造山带的形成与背景

北祁连山是发育在新元古代大陆克拉通背景上的板内造山带,它的形成经历了三个构造发展阶段;（１）早古生代是克拉通裂解的拗拉槽而不是大洋盆地,其西延部受阿尔金断裂左行错移约３５０－４００ｋｍ,对应于塔里木盆地北部的满加尔－阿瓦提坳陷,它们共同构成了“西域板块”这上的震旦纪－早古生代的拗拉槽,早古生代末“祁连事件”使拗拉槽闭合形成古祁连山。（２）晚古生代－中三叠世古祁连山遭受产,作为新克拉人     

北祁连石灰沟奥陶纪中堡群滑塌堆积特征及其古地理环境意义

北祁连永登县石灰沟作为奥陶纪中堡群命名地,历来是研究北祁连奥陶纪构造演化的理想场所。依据实测地层剖面,石灰沟奥陶纪中堡群可以划分为上、下两段:下段以中基性火山岩、火山碎屑岩为主;上段以出现大量碳酸盐岩、硅质岩、粉砂岩,夹中基性火山碎屑岩为特征。野外调查过程中发现,中堡群上段发育多层硅质岩,其层内发育强烈的构造变形。经岩石组合、地层序列、沉积相、火山喷发相、变形特征及空间组合关系研究,认为该套特殊的沉积层系为典型的滑塌堆积。根据滑塌堆积的内部结构特征及火山-沉积相序等分析,初步判断其形成于靠近岛弧的深水盆地环境,具多岛洋构造背景。这将为恢复和建立北祁连造山带奥陶纪沉积环境和古地理演化提供可靠依据,也为进一步研究北祁连奥陶纪沟-弧-盆体系空间格局提供了重要沉积学佐证。     

从弧后盆地到前陆盆地——北祁连造山带奥陶纪—泥盆纪的沉积盆地与构造演化

北祁连加里东期造山带是在新元古代Rodinia联合大陆(Pangea-850)基础上裂解,经由寒武纪裂谷盆地、奥陶纪初期成熟洋盆、奥陶纪中晚期北祁连活动大陆边缘、志留纪—早、中泥盆世碰撞造山而形成的。奥陶纪中、晚期,北祁连、走廊地区中、上奥陶统发育洋壳-岛弧-弧后火山岩,形成典型的沟-弧-盆体系的沉积。志留纪—早、中泥盆世是北祁连-走廊沉积盆地的转换时期。除天祝、古浪、景泰及肃南等局部地区发育下志留统钙碱性系列火山岩以外,全区志留系均以碎屑岩沉积为主。志留系底部多见一套砾岩层。下—中志留统为典型复理石相的浊流沉积。上志留统变为滨浅海相磨拉石沉积。早、中泥盆世雪山群为典型的陆相粗碎屑磨拉石沉积。从空间分布上看,志留系—泥盆系在走廊—北祁连地区也有自北向南厚度加大、粒度变粗的特征,古流以由南向北、来自造山带的古流为特征。北祁连-河西走廊奥陶纪弧后盆地火山岩—志留系复理石-海相磨拉石—中、下泥盆统陆相磨拉石的充填序列以及空间分布特点,反映为典型的弧后盆地向前陆盆地转化的沉积序列。     

北祁连造山带嘉峪关北大草滩地区早志留世碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

以北祁连造山带嘉峪关北大草滩地区原划为中—下奥陶统的阴沟群碎屑岩为研究对象,进行碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS UPb测年,探讨其形成时代、物源组成和构造背景。结果表明,碎屑岩沉积时代早于432.5Ma,为早志留世,该套沉积地层并不属于早—中奥陶世阴沟群。碎屑锆石U-Pb同位素年龄可明显分为4组:早古生代年龄组,434～521Ma,峰值为447Ma;新元古代年龄组,791～992Ma,峰值年龄966Ma;中古元古代年龄组,1017～1755Ma,并出现1120Ma、1278Ma、1427Ma和1648Ma多个峰值;古元古代早期—新太古代晚期年龄组,1879～2663Ma,并出现2089Ma、2428Ma和2543Ma多个峰值。综合分析显示,碎屑岩沉积物质来源于祁连造山带和阿拉善地块,祁连造山带早古生代岛弧型岩浆岩和新元古代岩浆岩,以及造山带结晶基底岩系为该套碎屑岩沉积提供了更重要的物源。     

北祁连车路沟斑岩型金矿床含矿岩体年代学、地球化学与岩石成因

车路沟金矿是北祁连山发现的首例与斑岩有关的金矿床, 矿体产于加里东晚期侵入的中酸性斑岩体及其与围岩接触带内。为了查明含矿斑岩体侵位时代、岩石成因和源区性质, 本文以车路沟一带含矿斑岩体作为研究对象, 对其开展了岩石地球化学、LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年和Hf同位素特征研究。该岩体主要由花岗闪长斑岩、石英闪长斑岩、英云闪长斑岩组成, 对花岗闪长斑岩、英云闪长斑岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年, 分别获得锆石²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为438.6±3.8Ma和433.0±3.8Ma, 指示岩浆侵位时代为早志留世晚期。岩石SiO₂含量为61.4%~68.6%, Al₂O₃含量为15.0%~16.7%, MgO含量为0.36%~2.95%, σ值介于1.20~2.03之间, A/CNK值为1.0~1.1之间, 属钙碱性系列准铝质花岗岩类; 具有弱负铕异常-正铕异常(δEu=0.90~1.18), 高Sr(319×10^-6~549×10^-6)含量和Sr/Y(36.6~77.5)比值, 低Y(7.09×10^-6~10.2×10^-6)和Yb(0.69×10^-6~0.89×10^-6)含量, 具有埃达克岩地球化学特征。该岩体的锆石ε_Hf(t)值均为正值, 变化于+12.7~+15.0之间, 两阶段模式年龄t_DM2(Hf)=461~563Ma, 推测岩浆源区可能主要来自新元古代晚期至寒武纪新生洋壳物质。研究认为车路沟斑岩体形成于陆陆碰撞后期, 地壳持续加厚, 诱发中新元古代晚期至寒武纪新生洋壳发生部分熔融, 形成埃达克质岩浆, 在其不断上侵和演化过程中, 形成车路沟斑岩体与其相伴产出的金矿体。
