云南六合正长斑岩中花岗岩包体锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

滇西地区沿金沙江-哀牢山断裂带广泛发育新生代富碱斑岩,其中六合富碱斑岩中发现了与镁铁-超镁铁质深源包体紧密共生的花岗岩包体。本文对花岗岩包体中锆石进行了阴极发光图像、LA-ICP-MS微量元素分析和U-Pb定年研究。研究表明,该花岗岩包体中锆石可分为岩浆锆石、老核新壳的复合岩浆锆石和变质交代成因锆石;复合岩浆锆石的新壳206Pb/238U平均加权年龄为39.2±2Ma,代表花岗岩包体的成岩年龄,与寄主富碱斑岩的成岩年龄基本一致;复合岩浆锆石的老核206Pb/238U平均加权年龄为828.1±7.1Ma,代表基底岩石年龄。变质锆石的206Pb/238U平均加权年龄为108.4±4.4Ma,与角闪石化金云石榴透辉岩中角闪石Ar-Ar年龄102.87±1.19Ma基本吻合,代表地幔流体交代矿物的结晶年龄,表明地幔流体交代作用过程可能在白垩纪前后延续一个相当长的时期。结合岩相学研究,认为该花岗岩包体被捕获运移时处于熔融态;花岗质熔浆的形成很可能与地幔流体作用引发的地壳部分熔融与壳幔岩浆混合作用密切相关。     

大别山高压-超高压片麻岩锆石的拉曼光谱学研究

对大别山高压-超高压片麻岩的锆石进行了激光拉曼探针、阴极发光(CL)、U-Pb年龄和U、Th等微量元素的测定分析.研究结果表明:锆石拉曼光谱1008cm-1峰的半高宽普遍小于20cm-1,指示锆石结晶程度较好到中等程度的蜕晶化;早期继承锆石在三叠纪高压-超高压变质作用中经历了退火和重结晶作用,所受的放射性通量是从200Ma的早侏罗纪开始积累的,表明高压-超高压岩石在这一时间已出露地表;北大别白垩纪岩浆热事件对高压-超高压岩石的影响很小;大多数锆石数据都落在天然锆石的放射性破坏趋势(RDT)中,表明锆石在高压、超高压过程中基本发生了完全的重结晶.     

山西代县金红石矿床中锆石的内部特征和矿物包裹体研究及其地质意义

对山西代县洪塘矿区富含红色和黑色两种金红石的直闪岩进行岩相观察和矿物成分分析,并就其中锆石在阴极发光下的外部形态、内部结构及矿物包裹体进行研究.所分选出的锆石按其颗粒上的相对位置、形态、阴极发光图像、SHRIMP年龄值以及内部矿物包裹体划分为复杂锆石和单成因锆石,其中复杂锆石由核部、幔部和边部锆石三类锆石组成.第1类锆石无环带,部分边缘可见溶蚀痕迹,为继承锆石.内部包裹富锾矿物组合顽火辉石+金云母,与寄主岩石的组合明显不同,反映其可能是寄主岩石形成之前保留于锆石中的原岩矿物并源于地幔.第Ⅱ类锆石为半自形-自形晶,环带较宽且清晰,推测为高级变质锆石.其内矿物包裹体主要为直闪石,其次为钙铁辉石(?),反映其形成于角闪岩相,与寄主岩石的矿物组合可能一致.第Ⅲ类锆石主要位于增生边,阴极发光亮度高,推测为流体改造的变质锆石.第Ⅳ类单成因锆石多呈自形,阴极发光下较暗,生长环带规则且较窄.矿物包裹体有钠长石+石英+白云母,对应中压绿片岩相,其形成温度和压力低于寄主岩石,它与第Ⅲ类锆石可能是在同一期后期事件中形成.结合岩相学研究结果,认为该区金红石矿床之原岩可能是岩浆岩,后期经历了至少两期构造热事件,早期热事件可能导致了锆石内U-Th-Pb体系的重置.以上研究结果表明经历复杂变质作用的变质岩中锆石内部矿物包裹体的研究分析还是探讨寄主岩石成因及所经历地质事件的有效手段.     

Zircon classification from cathodoluminescence images using deep learning

Zircon is a widely-used heavy mineral in geochronological and geochemical research because it can extract important information to understand the history and genesis of rocks. Zircon has various types, and an accurate examination of zircon type is a prerequisite procedure before further analysis. Cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging is one of the most reliable ways to classify zircons. However, current CL image examination is conducted by manual work, which is time-consuming, bias-prone, and requires expertise. An automated and bias-free method for zircon classification is absent but necessary. To this end, deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) and transfer learning are applied in this study to classify the common types of zircons, i.e., igneous, metamorphic, and hydrothermal zircons. An atlas with over 4000 CL images of these three types of zircons is created, and three DCNNs are trained using these images. The results of this study indicate that the DCNNs can distinguish hydrothermal zircons from other zircons, as indicated by the highest accuracy of 100%. Although similar textures in igneous and metamorphic zircons pose great challenges for zircon classification, the DCNNs successfully classify 95% igneous and 92% metamorphic zircons. This study demonstrates the high accuracy of DCNNs in zircon classification and presents the great potentiality of deep learning techniques in numerous geoscientific disciplines.     

LA-ICP-MS Zircon U-Pb Geochronology of Quartz Porphyry from the Niutougou Gold Deposit in Songxian County,Henan Province

The Niutougou gold deposit,located in the center of the Xiong’ershan gold district,western Henan Province,is a large gold deposit with many quartz porphyries found in the area.Based on the field geological investigation of quartz porphyry of Niutougou gold deposit and by using the cathodoluminescence(CL) images analysis and in situ LA-ICP-MS U-Pb isotope dating method of zircons,the inner structure,trace element compositions and U-Pb age of the zircons separated from quartz porphyry were analyzed and determined.Cathodoluminescence(CL) images of zircons show clear magmatic zonations.Trace element analyses of zircons reveal that all zircons show high concentrations of Th,U,and HREE,and the REE patterns of depletion in LREE,with a positive Ce anomaly.Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating results show that the quartz porphyry in the Niutougou gold deposit was formed at 159.71±0.99 Ma(about 160 Ma),belonging to the product of magmatic activity in late Middle Jurassic.Combined with the geological characteristics of the Niutougou gold deposit,the formation age of the quartz porphyry and the analysis of the formation age of the granite body exposed in the Niutougou gold deposit,the study suggests that the metallogenic epoch of the Niutougou gold deposit may be Yanshanian in age.     

The early crust beneath the Azov Domain of the Ukrainian Shield: Isotopic-geochronological and geochemical investigations of detrital zircons from metasedimentary rocks of the Fedorovka structure

The results of isotopic-geochronological investigations of detrital zircons from metasediments of the Fedorovka structure in the Azov Domain of the Ukrainian Shield by SIMS and LA-ICP-MS methods are considered. The data obtained are compared with the results of isotopic dating of zircons from metasediments of the Soroki greenstone structure of the Azov region. All the examined samples yielded zircons with ages exceeding 3600 Ma. The geochemical properties of the oldest zircons indicate that they originate immediately from tonalite rocks. The obtained data imply substantially wider development of the Paleoarchean crust in the Ukrainian Shield than was previously thought.     

火山岩锆石产状及痕量元素对成因的约束

为了探索火山岩产出锆石的成因属性,用CL图像及LA-ICP-MS原位分析痕量元素数据对山西临县紫金山碱性杂岩体内火山喷出相岩石是否产出锆石进行了研究.结果显示：响岩质、粗面质火山角砾岩（爆发相）均没有结晶出锆石,紫红色与灰白色响岩（溢流相）、粗面斑岩（火山颈侵出相）产出少量结构复杂的捕获锆石.对这些锆石进行LA-ICP-MS原位分析,表面年龄呈5段分布,分别为太古宙、古元古代、晚古生代、印支期与燕山期.年龄数据大多数与燕山期岩浆活动年代不符,呈现出大多数为捕获锆石的数据结构特征.CL图像显示大多数具有捕获锆石的岩浆熔蚀及后期改造迹象.痕量元素显示非碱性岩浆结晶的复杂成因特征,稀土元素显示多期次岩浆结晶、改造特征.结果表明：山西临县紫金山杂岩体内爆发相岩浆温度高,Zr元素含量不饱和,不结晶锆石同时将捕获锆石熔化;溢流相与火山颈相岩浆温度稍低,Zr元素含量仅达到饱和临界点,捕获锆石仅发生轻度熔蚀,而没有结晶自生锆石.     

Geochemical features of zircons from migmatites of the Nimnyr block,Aldan shield

This paper reports the results of chemical and structural study (electron microscopy and ion microprobe) of zircons from different-age generations of migmatite leucosomes in the basement rocks and Kurumkan Formation within the Nimnyr block, Aldan shield. The studied zircons show REE distribution pattern with a positive slope from LREE to HREE and positive Ce anomaly, which is typical of magmatic zircons, but have elevated LREE contents, which implies their crystallization from migmatite melt with subsequent fluid reworking. The transformations of the zircons were caused by fluid, which was separated during crystallization of the last LILE-enriched portions of the melt and inherited the geochemical features of the host rock—leucosome.

松潘-甘孜地体内花岗岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年及其构造意义

松潘-甘孜地体总体上是一个三角状褶皱带,其北侧、东南侧及东侧分别与东昆仑-西秦岭构造带、金沙江构造带及龙门山构造带相邻。地体内几乎全部被三叠系浊积岩所覆盖,其中侵位了很多花岗岩体。显然,这些花岗岩的岩浆特征、来源与侵位时代,对研究松潘-甘孜地体基底性质、构造演化等问题具有重要意义。本文报道利用SHRIMP定年技术对一些花岗岩岩体锆石所进行的精确测年数据。测试结果表明:(1)松潘-甘孜地体内的花岗岩体主要形成于晚三叠世,但岩浆活动可延续到早侏罗世晚期;(2)早期花岗岩浆活动与三叠纪系褶皱变形大致同期,指示这一时期的花岗岩浆的形成可能与三叠系下部大型拆离滑脱构造相关;(3)花岗岩结晶锆石普遍具有浑圆状或不规则状较老的继承锆石核,这些核部继承锆石可能代表花岗岩浆在上升过程中从不同地层内捕获的碎屑锆石,或者是下地壳岩石深熔残留锆石。根据SHRING U-Pb定年,这些继承锆石的年龄分别为二叠纪、加里东期、晚元古代和早元古代。元古代碎屑锆石的存在也可能指示松潘-甘孜地体具前寒武系基底。     

滇西桃花花岗斑岩中新太古代-古元古代锆石年龄信息:对扬子板块西缘基底时代的约束

扬子板块西缘滇西地区是否存在古老基底一直存在争议。本文对滇西桃花地区花岗斑岩进行了岩石学、地球化学和锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年代学研究。形成于晚造山-后碰撞背景的桃花花岗斑岩具岛弧花岗岩地球化学特征,其成因可能与:1)俯冲拆离的洋壳俯冲拆离的洋壳或富集地幔重熔作用;2)加厚的地壳部分熔融。花岗斑岩中的继承锆石有两种类型:一类是发育具有密集振荡环带的岩浆锆石;另一类是次浑圆状锆石。测年结果显示,花岗斑岩的岩浆锆石年龄为36.35±0.35Ma,环带发育的继承锆石年龄介于167~891Ma之间;而次浑圆状继承锆石可以分为两组,其207Pb/206Pb加权平均年龄分别为1851±22Ma与2499±32Ma。新的锆石测年结果表明着滇西桃花地区不仅存在古金沙江洋东向俯冲形成的晚古生代弧岩浆记录,还发现新元古代岩浆活动信息,及早古元古代和新太古代的锆石记录。推测1.8Ga与2.5Ga锆石可能是捕获自地壳或围岩(石鼓片岩),表明滇西地区可能存在古老基底。     

西大别浒湾高压变质带变沉积岩锆石U-Pb年龄及地质意义

西大别山浒湾高压变质带是研究秦岭-大别山-苏鲁造山带演化的关键区域, 但是该地区榴辉岩相变质时间还存在较大争议.本文通过对浒湾变质带熊店附近的一个变沉积岩样品进行LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年和微量元素分析, 来确定该地区榴辉岩相变质作用和碎屑锆石的年龄, 并确定该变质带的演化历史.该样品的变质锆石具有弱分带或无分带、低Th/U比值、重稀土含量低且相对平坦以及无明显的Eu负异常等特征.反映这些变质锆石形成时有石榴石, 而缺乏长石, 其形成对应于榴辉岩相变质作用条件.该样品中变质锆石的206Pb/238U加权平均值为310±3Ma, 这一年龄代表了该地区榴辉岩相峰期变质作用的时间, 因此浒湾地区榴辉岩相变质作用时间为石炭纪.碎屑岩浆锆石得到了3组近谐和的U-Pb年龄, 其206Pb/238U年龄变化范围分别为: 400±5Ma~419±5Ma、426±5Ma~449±5Ma以及496±5Ma~524±7Ma, 还有1个颗粒给出了580±7Ma的较老年龄.这些结果表明变沉积岩中的碎屑锆石可能大部分来自于华北板块南缘, 少量来自于扬子板块.      

西藏许如错地区洁居纳卓组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

在西藏许如错地区新识别出的洁居纳卓组为一套固结—半固结的粗碎屑岩建造。为探讨该地层的沉积时代和沉积物源,对1个砂岩样品进行了碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学分析。获得了4组有效年龄:10.1~17.2Ma、41.7~72.2 Ma、77.9~87.8Ma、463~1610Ma。结合岩石组合特征、ESR测试结果和区域年龄资料,认为洁居纳卓组可能形成于上新世。物源分析结果显示,许如错以南的查孜及附近地区的林子宗群、布嘎寺组火山岩是洁居纳卓组沉积物质的主要来源,古新世—中新世的侵入岩和晚古生代地层也为其提供了少量的沉积物质。洁居纳卓组发育于许如错南北向地堑盆地之内,是上新世高原隆升在冈底斯地区的沉积响应,是青藏高原局部构造差异隆升的结果。

内蒙古科右前旗大石寨组火山岩锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb年龄及其形成背景

对大石寨组火山岩的形成时代和形成背景的认识存在较大的分歧。对采自建组剖面底部英安岩样品中的锆石进行阴极发光照相、微区原位LA-ICP-MS微量元素分析和U-Pb测年。锆石U-Pb同位素分析结果显示,锆石发育典型的岩浆震荡环带, 高Th/U(0.51~1.57),轻稀土元素亏损,重稀土元素富集,具有强烈的正Ce异常和强烈的负Eu异常等特征,表明锆石均属于岩浆成因。22个分析点获得的谐和年龄为(314±1)Ma(MSWD=0.88),代表了大石寨组火山岩的形成时代。结合前人的资料,认为大石寨组火山岩为裂陷早期的产物,而晚古生代的沉积岩石组合为在这一基础上发展起来的具有裂陷盆地性质的沉积组合。     

Younger and older zircons from rocks of the oceanic lithosphere in the Central Atlantic and their geotectonic implications

Local U-Pb dating of zircons separated from various rocks in the crest zone of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) and Carter Seamount (Sierra Leone Rise) is performed. Younger zircons formed in situ in combination with older xenogenic zircons are revealed in enriched basalts, alkaline volcanic rocks, gabbroic rocks, and plagiogranites. Only older zircons are found in depleted basalts and peridotites. Older zircons are ubiquitous in the young oceanic lithosphere of the Central Atlantic. The age of the younger zircons from the crest zone of the MAR ranges from 0.38 to 11.26 Ma and progressively increases receding from the axial zone of the ridge. This fact provides additional evidence for spreading of the oceanic floor. The rate of half-spreading calculated from the age of the studied zircons is close to the rate of half-spreading estimated from magnetic anomalies. The age of the younger zircons from Carter Seamount (58 Ma) corresponds to the age of the volcanic edifice. Older zircons make up an age series from 53 to 3200 Ma. Clusters of zircons differing in age reveal quasiperiodicity of about 200 Ma, which approximately corresponds to the global tectonic epochs in the geological evolution of the Earth. Several age groups of older zircons combine grains close in morphology and geochemistry: (1) Neoproterozoic and Phanerozoic (53–700 Ma) prismatic grains with slightly resorbed faces, well-preserved or translucent oscillatory zoning, and geochemical features inherent to magmatic zircons; (2) prismatic grains dated at 1811 Ma with resorbed faces and edges, fragmentary or translucent zoning, and geochemical features inherent to magmatic zircons; (3) ovoid and highly resorbed prismatic grains with chaotic internal structure and metamorphic geochemical parameters; the peak of their ages is 1880 Ma. The performed study indicates that older xenogenic zircons from young rocks in the crest zone of the MAR were captured by melt or incorporated into refractory restite probably in the sublithospheric mantle at the level of magma generation in the asthenosphere. It is suggested that zircons could have crystallized from the melts repeatedly migrating through the asthenosphere during geological history or were entrapped by the asthenosphere together with blocks of disintegrated and delaminated continental lithosphere in the process of breakup of the continents older than Gondwana. The variability in the age of older zircons even within individual samples may be regarded as evidence for active stirring of matter as a result of periodically arising and destroyed within-asthenospheric convective flows varying in orientation and scale.     

云南大平糜棱岩化碱性花岗岩的锆石特征及其地质意义

在哀牢山一金沙江新生代钾质碱性岩浆岩带的南端,云南金平县大平糜棱岩化钠闪石霓石花岗岩中锆石,主要为“变质锆石”和具有老核新壳的“变质复合型锆石”,它们皆具不规则状和圆化的外形,并常高度的富集成堆和显示有一定层位。用ELA-ICP-MS和SHRIMP对锆石定年,结果表明,变质复合型锆石中老核年龄为247．9±6．4Ma,新壳和变质锆石年龄为145．7±3．4Ma。薄片观察发现,在岩体发生糜棱岩化之前还有一次区域变质作用,呈现在糜棱岩化弱的地段岩石发育柱粒变晶结构和花岗变晶结构,而且残留有清楚的层理,由此表明该花岗岩的成因与沉积变质有关。     

西藏拉萨地块过铝质花岗岩中继承锆石的物源区示踪及其古地理意义

富含继承锆石的过铝质花岗岩一般来源于富铝质岩石(如变泥质岩)的部分熔融,因而分析这些继承锆石的U-Pb年龄可以像分析沉积岩碎屑锆石的U-Pb年龄一样,提供过铝质花岗岩源区物质中碎屑沉积物物源区的丰富信息。本文报道了中部拉萨地块早侏罗世过铝质花岗岩的全岩地球化学和锆石U-Pb年代学数据,结合拉萨地块已有二叠纪和晚三叠世过铝质花岗岩的继承锆石年代学数据,总结了目前已有的拉萨地块过铝质花岗岩的继承锆石U-Pb年龄特征(共199个谐和测点)。这些过铝质花岗岩属强过铝质S型花岗岩,其中的继承锆石定义了1250~1100Ma(峰值1181±14Ma)和550~450Ma(峰值494±7Ma)2个最突出的年龄群,分别可比于拉萨地块古生代沉积岩的碎屑锆石年龄峰值(约1170Ma)和寒武纪火山岩的侵位时代,明显不同于西羌塘、安多和特提斯喜马拉雅新元古代-古生代沉积岩中的碎屑锆石年龄频谱。拉萨地块过铝质花岗岩中约1181Ma的继承锆石,可能与拉萨地块古生代沉积岩中的同期碎屑锆石一样,都来自澳大利亚南西部Albany-Fraser造山带和东南极Wilkes等地,而约494的继承锆石,既可能来自澳大利亚西部,也可能来自拉萨地块本地。本文提供了拉萨地块与澳大利亚大陆北缘具有古地理联系的过铝质花岗岩继承锆石U-Pb年龄证据。拉萨地块的研究实践表明,采用过铝质花岗岩继承锆石和古生代沉积岩碎屑锆石相结合的锆石U-Pb年代学方法,可为重建冈瓦纳大陆北缘其它微陆块的古地理和构造岩浆演化提供重要约束。     

内蒙古科右前旗大石寨组火山岩锆石LA—ICP—MSU—Pb年龄及其形成背景

对大石寨组火山岩的形成时代和形成背景的认识存在较大的分歧。对采自建组剖面底部英安岩样品中的锆石进行阴极发光照相、微区原位LA—ICP—MS微量元素分析和U-Pb测年。锆石U—Pb同位素分析结果显示,锆石发育典型的岩浆震荡环带,高Th／U（0．51～1．57）,轻稀土元素亏损,重稀土元素富集,具有强烈的正Ce异常和强烈的负Eu异常等特征,表明锆石均属于岩浆成因。22个分析点获得的谐和年龄为（314±1）Ma（MSWD=0．88）,代表了大石寨组火山岩的形成时代。结合前人的资料,认为大石寨组火山岩为裂陷早期的产物,而晚古生代的沉积岩石组合为在这一基础上发展起来的具有裂陷盆地性质的沉积组合。
