REE Geochemical Characteristics of Apatite,Sphene and Zircon from Alkaline Rocks

The accessory minerals apatite and sphene are the main carriers of REE in alkaline rocks.Their chondrite-normalized REE patterns decline sharply to the right as those of the host rocks,In the patterns an obvious negative Eu anomaly and a positive Ce anomaly can be seen in apatite and sphene,respectively.Zircon from alkaline rocks is different in REE pattern,I,e,. a nearly symmetric“V“-shaped pattern with a maximum negative Eu anomaly.Compared with the equivalents from granites,apatite,sphene and zircon from alkaline rocks are all characterized by higher (La/Yb)N ratio and less Eu depletion,As to the relative contents of REE in minerals,apatite,sphene and zircon are enriched in LREE,MREE and HREE respectively,depending on their crystallochemical properties.     

桐柏造山带深熔作用:混合岩LA-ICPNIS锆石U-Pb年代学证据

桐柏造山带是研究秦岭-桐柏-大别-苏鲁变质带演化的关健地区.由于桐柏高级变质杂岩深熔作用发生时间还缺乏准确的限定,这一区城的构造演化仍存在较大的争议.本文对桐柏杂岩中的一个混合岩的中色体和两个混合岩浅色体样品中的锆石进行了LA-ICPMS年代学测定.中色体中锆石分析点获得的上下交点分别为859±73Ma和135±250Ma.接近上交.4的6个谐和分析点给出的206 Pb/238 U加权平均结果为828±7Ma(MSWD=0.57).这一年龄结果同上交点在误差范围内一致,代表混合岩原岩结晶年龄,对应扬子板块北缘出现的中-新元古代的岩浆事件.另一方面,混合岩浅色体中的新生锆石具有面状分带或是弱的振荡环带,低的Tb/U比值,锆石形态学和内部结构也表明新生锆石结晶于与深熔作用有关的熔体中,它们的206 Pb/238 U加权平均值分别为135±4Ma和131±3Ma.这一年龄范围代表桐柏高级变质地体发生深熔作用时间,区城上与桐柏-大别变质带广泛出现的碰撞后岩浆事件的时代相同.桐柏造山带出现造山后伸展的时间应不晚于135Ma.

REE Distribution in Scheelite from the Yubileinoe Porphyry Gold Deposit,South Urals: Evidence from LA-ICP-MS Data

Zoned scheelite crystals from the Yubileinoe porphyry gold deposit were studied by EMPA and LA-ICP-MS. The MoO₃ content decreases from 10–13 wt % in the crystal center to less than 2 wt % in the rim. Scheelite is enriched in LREE with respect to HREE and has negative Eu and Ce anomalies. Early scheelite has a flat REE distribution pattern with a negative slope, while the latter has asymmetrical convex REE spectra due to the lower La content and higher Nd, Sm, and Gd concentrations. The REE distribution in early scheelite has been established as inherited from ore-bearing granitic rocks, while this distribution in later generations of the mineral was determined by hydrothermal fluid.

藏南米拉山地区林子宗火山岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄和起源

大规模的林子宗火山岩呈带状展布于拉萨地体中南部地区,记录了新特提斯洋壳晚期俯冲和随后印度—欧亚大陆碰撞的重要信息,因而受到广泛关注,但迄今对区域性的林子宗火山岩仍然缺乏可靠的年龄数据约束。为此,本文对南部拉萨地体东部米拉山地区林子宗火山岩中的含角砾流纹岩样品进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年和Hf同位素、全岩地球化学测试。获得了60.1±0.9Ma的锆石206Pb/238U年龄,与林周盆地典中组底部安山质岩浆活动的时代相当。测试样品以亏损中稀土元素和低的重稀土元素丰度为特征,锆石εHf(t)为正值(+8.5~+18.8),可能来源于较厚新生下地壳物质在角闪岩相/榴辉岩相过渡条件下的部分熔融。目前还很难论证呈带状分布的约60Ma林子宗火山岩稀土元素含量差异的构造含义。

REE Geochemistry of Precambrian Metamorphic Rocks in Wutaishan Region

The metasedimentary-volcanic series of the Wutai and Hutuo groups experienced regional metamorphism and thus turned into moderate-to low-grade metamorphic rocks.REE abundances and REE distribution patterns in the Shizui and Taihuai Subgroup metasedimentary-volcanic rocks are typical of the Archean,whereas the Gaofan Subgroup and the Hutuo Group show post-Archean REE geochemical char-acteristics.Five types of REE distribution pattern are distinguished:(1)rightward inclined smooth curves with little REE anomaly(Eu/Eu*=0.73-0.95) and heavy REE depletion (e.g.the Late Archean metasedimentary rocks);(2)rightward inclined V-shaped curves with sharp Eu anoma-ly (Eu/Eu*=0.48-0.76) and slightly higher ∑REE (e.g.the post-Archean metasedimentary rocks);(3) rightward inclined steep curves with negative Eu anomaly(Eu/Eu*=0.73-0.76) and the lowest ∑REE (e.g.the post-Archean dolomites);(4)rightward inclined,nearly smooth curves with both positive Eu anomaly and unremarkable positive Eu anomaly(Eu/Eu*=0.95-1.25)(e.g.the meta-basic volcanic rocks);and (5) rightward inclined curves with Eu anomaly(Eu/Eu*=1.09-1.19)and heavy REE depletion(e.g.the meta-acid volcanic rocks).Strata of the two groups are considered to have been formed in an island-arc belt-an instable continental petrogenetic environment.     

REE in skarn systems: A LA-ICP-MS study of garnets from the Crown Jewel gold deposit

Metamorphic and magmatic garnets are known to fractionate REE, with generally HREE-enriched patterns, and high Lu/Hf and Sm/Nd ratios, making them very useful as geochemical tracers and in geochronological studies. However, these garnets are typically Al-rich (pyrope, almandine, spessartine, and grossular) and little is known about garnets with a more andraditic (Fe³⁺) composition, as frequently found in skarn systems. This paper presents LA-ICP-MS data for garnets from the Crown Jewel Au-skarn deposit (USA), discusses the factors controlling incorporation of REE into garnets, and strengthens the potential of garnet REE geochemistry as a tool to help understand the evolution of metasomatic fluids.Garnets from the Crown Jewel deposit range from Adr₃₀Grs₇₀ to almost pure andradite (Adr_>99). Fe-rich garnets (Adr_>90) are isotropic, whereas Al-rich garnets deviate from cubic symmetry and are anisotropic, often showing sectorial dodecahedral twinning. All garnets are extremely LILE-depleted, Ta, Hf, and Th and reveal a positive correlation of ΣREE³⁺ with Al content. The Al-rich garnets are relatively enriched in Y, Zr, and Sc and show “typical” HREE-enriched and LREE-depleted patterns with small Eu anomalies. Fe-rich garnets (Adr_>90) have much lower ΣREE and exhibit LREE-enriched and HREE-depleted patterns, with a strong positive Eu anomaly. Incorporation of REE into garnet is in part controlled by its crystal chemistry, with REE³⁺ following a coupled, YAG-type substitution mechanism , whereas Eu²⁺ substitutes for X²⁺ cations. Thermodynamic data (e.g., H_mixing) in grossular-andradite mixtures suggest preferential incorporation of HREE in grossular and LREE in more andraditic compositions.Variations in textural and optical features and in garnet geochemistry are largely controlled by external factors, such as fluid composition, W/R ratios, mineral growth kinetics, and metasomatism dynamics, suggesting an overall system that shifts dynamically between internally and externally buffered fluid chemistry driven by fracturing. Al-rich garnets formed by diffusive metasomatism, at low W/R ratios, from host-rock buffered metasomatic fluids. Fe-rich garnets grow rapidly by advective metasomatism, at higher W/R ratios, from magmatic-derived fluids, consistent with an increase in porosity by fracturing.     

LA-ICP-MS标准锆石原位微区U-Pb定年及微量元素的分析测定

LA-ICP-MS面扫描分析能直观细致地展示元素在矿物中的分布特征及相互关系,在揭示矿床成因、精细刻画成矿流体演化过程等方面具有显著优势。辽宁弓长岭铁矿床二矿区以产出沉积变质型磁铁矿富矿石而闻名,且富铁矿石的蚀变围岩中大量产出石榴石,其与富矿体成因关系密切。本文以二矿区富铁矿蚀变围岩中的石榴石为研究对象,为明确元素扩散对石榴石元素分布特征的影响,选择两颗大小不同的石榴石（1.5cm×1.5cm和0.6cm×0.7cm）,应用LA-ICP-MS在10~20Hz、20~150μm正方形激光束斑、20~150μm/s扫描速度的条件下,在4h内完成其面扫描分析,并利用无内标法对数据进行半定量校正,详细研究石榴石主量、微量和稀土元素组合及分布特征,进而有效地分析热液流体演化过程和磁铁矿富矿体的成因。LA-ICP-MS面扫描结果揭示了弓长岭厘米级石榴石连续型环带和次厘米级石榴石突变型环带的特征,准确区分了突变环带的位置和界线。分析结果表明,弓长岭二矿区厘米级石榴石中Si、Al、Fe等主量元素成分较为均一,未显示环带特征;而Mg、Mn、Ca、重稀土及Y元素均保留了原始的生长环带,具有重要的成因指示意义。该石榴石从核部到边部,其Mg含量逐渐升高,Mn含量逐渐降低,指示石榴石形成温度从核部到边部逐渐升高;而Ca含量从核部至边部先升高后降低,指示压力先升高再降低,显示进变质成因石榴石的特点。同时,该石榴石δEu值变化规律指示变质热液流体的氧逸度先减小再增大;重稀土和Y元素与Ca元素一致的变化特征表明其分布主要受压力控制。因此,结合前人研究成果综合推测,弓长岭富铁矿蚀变围岩中的石榴石形成于早元古代晚期胶—辽—吉带大陆碰撞造山过程中的进变质作用阶段,在该阶段形成的变质热液流体沿断层运移,对断层两侧的贫铁矿和围岩进行改造,从而形成富铁矿石及蚀变围岩。
