藏南确当地区高Sr/Y比值二云母花岗岩的形成机制及其构造动力学意义

最近的研究表明,喜马拉雅造山带普遍经历了大于30Ma的高温变质和部分熔融作用,形成了不同规模的混合岩或花岗岩。厘定这些地壳深熔岩浆的地球化学性质及其形成机理对于深化认识大型碰撞造山带的岩浆作用及其构造物理效应具有重要意义。在雅拉香波穹隆核部及其南部发育一系列类似的二云母花岗岩岩体,其中确当花岗岩侵入到二叠纪(?)复理石地层内。全岩地球化学测试结果表明,确当花岗岩具有与雅拉香波花岗岩、打拉花岗岩类似的特征,即①高SiO2(68.2%~69.3%)和铝(Al2O3>15.14%),低铁(TFeO<2.0%)和镁(MgO<1.5%),为富钠过铝质花岗岩;②富集LREE,亏损HREE,平坦的Ho到Lu稀土元素分布样式(Ho/Yb)N=1.2~1.4),无或微弱Eu负异常(Eu/Eu?=0.9~1.0);③较低的Y(<8.1×10-6)和 Yb(<0.7×10-6)含量,较高的Sr/Y(>37.5)和La/Yb(>29.3)比值。这些特征表明,确当花岗岩是以角闪岩为主和变泥质岩为辅组成的源区发生部分熔融的结果。     

藏南也拉香波早渐新世富钠过铝质淡色花岗岩的成因机制及其构造动力学意义

藏南也拉香波穹隆位于近东西向展布的北喜马拉雅片麻岩穹隆(NHGD)最东端,主要由石榴角闪岩、石榴石云母片麻岩、二云母花岗岩和淡色花岗岩组成.SHRIMP锆石U/Pb定年结果表明也拉淡色花岗岩的结晶年龄为35.3±1.1Ma,明显老于位于该穹隆以西类似的淡色花岗岩(年龄普遍<25Ma).全岩元素和Sr-Nd同位素测试结果揭示：(1)也拉香波淡色花岗岩为过铝质富钠花岗岩;(2)与片麻岩相似,也拉香波淡色花岗岩富集大离子亲石元素(LILE,如K,Sr,Rb和Ba),但亏损Ti,Y,Yb,Sc和Cr;(3)和片麻岩或角闪岩相比,也拉香波淡色花岗岩同时亏损LREE和HREE,但与HREE相比,LREE相对富集;(4)在Sr-Nd同位素系统特征上.淡色花岗岩初始Sr同位素比值与角闪岩的相当,在0.711949～0.719344之间;但远小于片麻岩.而Nd同位素组成在片麻岩和角闪岩之间,在-8.9～-15.0之间.以石榴角闪岩和片麻岩为端元,简单混合计算表明：由石榴角闪岩为主和片麻岩为辅组成的混合源区发生部分熔融作用,各自产生的熔体进行不同程度的混合,可形成类似于也拉香波淡色花岗岩成分的岩浆,其中角闪岩的部分熔融起主要作用.使用Zr在岩浆中的饱和浓度温度计得出岩浆的平均温度为673℃,在此温度下,变泥质片麻岩在高压(～10kbar)条件下的水致部分熔融和角闪岩部分熔融都可形成也拉过铝质富钠淡色花岗岩,但角闪岩的脱水部分熔融起主导作用.在地壳增厚条件下,下地壳角闪岩的部分熔融可能是导致喜玛拉雅造山带从缩短增厚向伸展垮塌转换的主要因素之一.     

北喜马拉雅双穹隆构造的建立：来自藏南错那洞穹隆的厘定

错那洞穹隆属于北喜马拉雅片麻岩穹隆带(NHGD)的东南部重要组成部分,是本次研究首次发现并确立的穹隆构造。穹隆位于藏南扎西康矿集区南部,由外向内被两条环形断裂划分为三个岩石-构造单元:特提斯喜马拉雅沉积岩系上部单元、中部单元以及核部,其中内侧断裂为下拆离断层,外侧为上拆离断层。上部单元主要由侏罗系日当组的泥质粉砂质板岩和片岩组成,由外向穹隆中心靠近,根据变质矿物组合特征,其岩性呈较明显的渐变过程,即含或者不含变质矿物的泥质粉砂质板岩、含堇青石粉砂质板岩、含石榴石堇青石粉砂质板岩和含石榴石黑云母粉砂质板岩;中部单元从上至下岩石变质程度逐渐加深,构造变形依次增强,岩性依次为日当组低-高变质的片岩(包括含石榴石黑云母石英片岩、含蓝晶石-十字石二云母石英片岩、含矽线石二云母二长片麻岩)、含电气石(化)花岗质黑云母片麻岩、石榴石云母片麻岩和糜棱状石英二云母片麻岩,其典型变质矿物有石榴石、十字石、矽线石和蓝晶石;核部主要由糜棱状花岗质片麻岩夹少量的副片麻岩和错那洞淡色花岗岩组成。错那洞穹隆主要发育四期线理构造:近N-S向逆冲、N-S向伸展线理、近E-W向线理和围绕核部向四周外侧倾伏线理,分别对应了穹隆构造经历的四期主要变形:初期向南逆冲、早期近N-S向伸展、主期近E-W向伸展和晚期滑塌构造运动,其中主期近E-W向伸展对应于错那洞穹隆的形成,其动力学背景可能是印度板块斜向俯冲及由俯冲引起的中地壳向东流动双重作用。错那洞穹隆的发现和确立丰富了NHGD近E-W向伸展构造,进一步将NHGD划分为由近N-S向伸展所形成的穹隆带(简称NS-NHGD)和近E-W向伸展所形成的穹隆带(EW-NHGD)。

Decoupling between the middle and upper crust during transpression-related lateral flow: Variscan evolution of the Aston gneiss dome (Pyrenees, France)

We present a structural, AMS, microstructural and kinematic study of the Aston gneiss dome (French Pyrenees), which consists of a core made up of orthogneiss and paragneiss intruded by numerous sills of Carboniferous peraluminous granite. The orthogneiss corresponds to a former Ordovician granitic laccolith. Four Variscan events have been evidenced in this gneiss dome: (i) D1 deformation observed only as relics in the orthogneisses and their country-rocks located above the sillimanite isograd, and characterized by a NS to NE–SW non coaxial stretch associated to top to the south motions (NS convergence); (ii) D2-a deformation observed in the orthogneisses and their country-rocks, mainly migmatitic paragneisses, located below the sillimanite isograd and in the peraluminous granites whatever their structural level, and characterized by an EW to N120°E stretch associated to a top to the east flat shearing (lateral flow in the hot middle crust in a transpressive regime); (iii) D2-b deformation characterized by EW-trending megafolds corresponding to the domes in the middle crust and by EW-trending tight folds with subvertical axial planes in the metasedimentary upper crust; (iv) subvertical medium-temperature mylonitic bands developed by the end of the transpression.The Aston massif is a good example of decoupling between a cold upper crust and a hotter middle crust overheated by a thermal event originated in the upper mantle. This decoupling allowed the lateral flow of the migmatitic middle crust along a direction at high angle with respect to the more or less NS-trending direction of convergence. We suggest that the HT-LP metamorphism developed before the formation of the domes during D2-a, coevally with the emplacement of numerous sills of peraluminous granite, whereas the emplacement of the large calc-alkaline plutons in the upper crust occurred by the end of D2-b. Our data invalidate the previous geodynamical models based on either early or late extensional regime to explain the development of the HT-LP metamorphism. This new interpretation of the dynamics of the Variscan crust of the Pyrenees is consistent with recent studies conducted in Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic hot continental crusts having undergone oblique convergence, and characterized by a competition between vertical thickening and lateral flow induced by the important rheological contrast between two thermally different levels.     

龙门山后山震旦系—古生界变形变质作用:松潘-甘孜造山带中生代伸展垮塌下的中地壳韧性流壳层

中生代早期造山作用使松潘-甘孜地区地壳厚度加厚到约50~60km,因而随即经历了大规模区域性地壳伸展和减薄作用,然而迄今为止,对伸展和减薄事件的形成和发育机制还缺少深入了解。通过对龙门山前陆逆冲带腹陆地区,特别是其中发育的变质核杂岩及伸展变质穹隆体的详细构造解析,发现震旦系—古生界中普遍发育各种形式的顺层韧性流变构造,如韧性剪切带、透入性顺层面理及矿物拉伸线理、糜棱岩化及绿片岩相—低角闪岩相变质作用,并在龙门山北、中和南段造成大规模和不同程度的地层构造缺失或减薄;韧性流变构造流变方向在龙门山北段指向南或SSE,中、南段则指向SE;对志留系茂县群变质作用温压条件进行估算,其温度变化范围为265~405℃,压力变化范围为0.31~0.48GPa,代表了中地壳韧性流壳层(middle crustal ductile channel flow)的形成条件;前人用39Ar/40Ar和SHRIMP锆石U-Pb等方法对这一套区域动力变质岩石变质年龄的时代限定为190~150Ma,与中生代早期造山后板内伸展减薄事件相匹配。因此表明造山作用加厚地壳在中地壳层次以大规模韧性流变变形和变质作用对地壳厚度进行了调整,相对于上地壳层次变形和变质作用而言,中地壳韧性流壳层是松潘-甘孜造山带伸展和减薄的主要原因。在区域上如果消除新生代松潘-甘孜高原加厚和相对上扬子地块逆时针旋转的影响,中生代韧性流壳层流变方向总体为SSE或向南,因此代表南秦岭造山作用后的板内演化阶段,并且是造成松潘-甘孜造山带伸展垮塌的主要原因。     

青藏高原东南缘腾冲后碰撞粗面安山岩形成的深部岩浆过程:来自辉长质物质的启示

位于青藏高原东南缘的腾冲火山区发育大量的后碰撞高钾钙碱性岩浆岩(8Ma至今),形成了近连续的玄武岩-玄武安山岩-粗面安山岩-英安岩系列。在晚更新世(0.3~0.4Ma)粗面安山岩中发现了大量的辉长岩包体与辉长质矿物聚晶。辉长岩包体分为两类：I类为辉长苏长岩(直径2~4cm),主要由斜长石(50%~60%)、单斜辉石(20%~30%)和斜方辉石(5%~10%)组成,矿物间呈高角度接触的开放结构并包含少量的基质玻璃;Ⅱ类辉长岩包体(直径2~12cm)主要由斜长石(40%~50%)与单斜辉石(30%~40%)组成,含少量铁钛氧化物(5%~10%),矿物间见少量的基质玻璃与微晶斜方辉石(粒径 < 50μm)。矿物聚晶(粒径2~5mm)由斜长石(40%~60%)、单斜辉石(20%~30%)和斜方辉石(5%~10%)组成,矿物间呈高角度接触的开放结构,其间贯入基质玻璃。辉长岩包体、矿物聚晶与寄主粗面安山岩斑晶具有相同的矿物组成(斜长石+单斜辉石+斜方辉石);单斜辉石具有相似的微量元素组成特征;辉长岩包体全岩主量元素成分落在玄武岩-玄武安山岩-粗面安山岩-英安岩的演化序列中,它们与寄主粗面安山岩具有一致的Sr-Nd-Pb同位素组成。上述观测结果表明,辉长岩包体和矿物聚晶与寄主岩浆同源,它们均来自粗面安山质岩浆房。矿物温度与压力计算结果表明,辉长岩包体与矿物聚晶的结晶温度低于斑晶,形成深度位于粗面安山质岩浆房的中上部。这些具有开放结构的矿物聚晶与辉长岩包体可能代表粗面安山质岩浆喷发前形成晶粥的"碎片"：矿物聚晶与I类辉长岩包体矿物间基质含量较高,矿物成分与寄主粗面安山质熔体(全岩成分)平衡,可能代表寄主粗面安山质岩浆形成的晶粥;Ⅱ类辉长岩包体矿物间紧密程度较高,矿物与较演化的岩浆平衡,可能代表早期较演化的岩浆形成的经历压实作用的晶粥。粗面安山质岩浆的快速上升将这些晶粥破碎并以辉长岩包体与矿物聚晶的方式运移至地表。岩浆房中基性岩浆的补给是导致安山质岩浆喷发的重要诱发机制。     

Thermochronology of the Yidun Arc, central eastern Tibetan Plateau: constraints from Ar/Ar K-feldspar and apatite fission track data

Four K-feldspar samples from the Yidun Arc, eastern Tibetan Plateau, were analysed by the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar method with the aim of recovering information on their thermal history using multiple diffusion domain (MDD) theory. Arrhenius plots for each of the samples reveal low retentivity early in the heating experiments, a property that is attributed to their recrystallised nature. This low argon retentivity appears to violate the MDD assumption that volume diffusion is the only mechanism for argon transport within the crystals, thus the thermal histories derived from these analyses are considered suspect. Nevertheless, the age spectra themselves suggest that the majority of samples had cooled below 200 °C prior to the Eocene collision of India with Asia. Thermal history modelling from apatite fission track analyses from the same and nearby samples shows slow cooling through the apatite fission track partial annealing zone during the Cenozoic in samples from the high elevation, low relief areas of the Yidun Arc, while samples from the major Jinsha River valley show rapid cooling through the partial annealing zone beginning in the Miocene. These results suggest that significant Cenozoic denudation has been localised and that most parts of the Yidun Arc have experienced very little denudation during the Cenozoic.     

Structural kinematics,metamorphic P–T profiles and zircon geochronology across the Greater Himalayan Crystalline Complex in south‐central Tibet: implication for a revised channel flow

A specific question about the Himalayas is whether the orogeny grew by distributed extrusion or discrete thrusting. To place firm constraints on tectonic models for the orogeny, kinematic, thermobarometric and geochronological investigations have been undertaken across the Greater Himalayan Crystalline Complex (GHC) in the Nyalam region, south‐central Tibet. The GHC in this section is divided into the lower, upper and uppermost GHC, with kinematically top‐to‐the‐south, alternating with top‐to‐the‐north shear senses. A new thrust named the Nyalam thrust is recognized between the lower and upper GHC, with a 3 kbar pressure reversion, top‐to‐the‐south thrust sense, and was active after the exhumation of the GHC. Peak temperature reached ～749 °C in the cordierite zone, and decreased southwards to 633–667 °C in the kyanite and sillimanite‐muscovite zones, and northwards to greenschist facies at the top of the South Tibetan Detachment System (STDS). Pressure at peak temperature reached a maximum value in the kyanite zone of 9.0–12.6 kbar and decreased northwards to ～4.1 kbar in the cordierite zone. Zircon U‐Pb ages of a sillimanite migmatite and an undeformed leucogranite dyke cutting the mylonitized rocks in the STDS reveal a long‐lived partial melting of the GHC, which initiated at 39.7–34 Ma and ceased at 14.1 Ma. Synthesizing the obtained and collected results, a revised channel flow model is proposed by considering the effect of heat advection and convection by melt and magma migration. Our new model suggests that distributed processes like channel flow dominated during the growth of the Himalayan orogen, while discrete thrusting occurred in a later period as a secondary process.
