华北桑干地区大规模麻粒岩相变质作用的时代: 锆石U-Pb年代学

对桑干地区麻粒岩相变质沉积岩系(孔兹岩系)中变质和未变质侵入体进行锆石U-Pb年代学研究, 获得变质花岗岩、变质闪长岩锆石U-Pb年龄分别为2005±9 Ma和1921±1 Ma, 它们代表岩浆结晶年龄. 另外测得未变质粗粒石榴石花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄1892±10 Ma. 据此, 麻粒岩相变质作用时代应该晚于闪长岩的侵入年龄(1921 Ma), 略早于粗粒石榴石花岗岩的形成年代. 结合已有的年龄资料提出, 桑干地区发育的孔兹岩系、片麻岩地体和高压基性麻粒岩, 它们的麻粒岩相变质作用都发生在早元古代末. 这一时代是华北克拉通碰撞拼合的时代.

鄂尔多斯盆地延长组长7底部凝灰岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄及地质意义

鄂尔多斯盆地延长组长7油层组底部稳定存在一套凝灰岩夹层,可以作为地层划分和对比的标志层.本文对盆地西南部罗36井和庄211井长7底部的凝灰岩进行了锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年分析,分别获得206Pb/238U加权平均年龄(241.3±2.4)和(239.7±1.7)Ma.结合凝灰岩锆石的阴极发光图像和U/Th元素比值,认为其为岩浆成因锆石,其年龄代表延长组长7底部凝灰岩的沉积年龄介于239.7~241.3 Ma.这一测年结果充分说明延长组底部存在中三叠世地层.结合前人研究成果,建议将长10~长8油层组单独划分出来,仍用铜川组命名,而将长7~长1段严格限制在狭义晚三叠世延长组范围之内.通过探讨分析认为,延长组长7油层组底部的凝灰岩是印支早期秦岭主造山运动的沉积响应.这期构造运动促使延长组沉积期湖盆古地貌和沉积环境发生重大变化,这为后期延长组沉积期湖盆的成烃、成藏十分有利.

铜陵矿集区侵入岩SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄及其深部动力学背景

选取铜陵矿集区5个典型的中生代侵入岩体——沙滩脚石英二长斑岩、冬瓜山辉石二长岩、新桥二长岩、凤凰山花岗闪长岩、小铜官山石英二长闪长岩,进行了系统的SHRIMP锆石U—Pb定年,给出了（151．8±2．6）～（142．8±1．8）Ma的年龄值,对该区侵入岩的形成时代提供了精确约束,表明晚侏罗世末是该区岩浆活动的高峰期．岩浆侵入的总体顺序为石英二长（斑）岩→二长岩→花岗闪长岩→石英二长闪长岩→辉石二长闪长岩→辉长辉绿岩．不同岩性的侵入岩具不同的结晶年龄可能说明了铜陵地区侵入岩经历了深部岩浆的演化过程．这种岩浆的演化过程和该区当时深部地球动力学背景有密切的关系．提出了研究区深部构造和岩浆演化的动力学模型：T3末期,扬子与华北块体完成拼合,铜陵地区进入新的挤压造山运动期,即进入了太平洋动力学体系．J2-J3期间,随着Izanagi板块向欧亚板块之下俯冲,该区受到的北西向挤压作用,形成北东向褶皱,并导致地壳增厚．在地壳下部形成高密度的榴辉岩相岩石,造成深部岩石圈地幔及下地壳拆沉,诱使热的软流圈物质上涌,减压熔融产生的玄武质岩浆发生底侵作用,并引起下地壳受热熔融产生花岗质岩浆．这些岩浆经过不同的作用过程最终沿深大断裂上侵（J3-K1）．测年结果表明该区岩石圈地幔和下地壳的拆沉作用至少在晚侏罗世中晚期就已经开始,并造成岩石圈的急剧减薄,中上地壳发生强烈的伸展作用,形成盖层间、基底与盖层问、中下地壳等大量的滑脱构造,构成了岩石圈构造分层或拆离作用．老的岩浆成因继承核（747～823Ma范围内的3个一致年龄）的存在支持铜陵地区在新元古代存在明显的岩浆作用,同时说明中生代侵入岩的形成有较多的新元古代火成岩源岩的参与．     

中生代古太平洋板块俯冲诱发华北克拉通破坏的物质记录

华北克拉通破坏与古太平洋板块俯冲密切相关是当今学界的重要共识,但缺乏华北克拉通破坏峰期古太平洋板块俯冲的物质证据.为解决这一问题,本文对华北克拉通东北缘(辽东-吉南地区)中生代火山岩开展了详细的岩石学、锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf-O同位素、全岩地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素研究.研究发现,辽东-吉南地区中生代火山岩主要为玄武粗安岩-粗安岩-粗面岩和安山岩组合,形成于早白垩世(129~124Ma),均富集大离子亲石元素(Rb、Sr、Ba、Th等)和轻稀土元素、亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Ti等),表明其来源于与俯冲相关的地幔源区.这些岩石具有不均一的同位素组成,其中,碱性玄武粗安岩-粗安岩-粗面岩具有富集的全岩Sr-Nd-Hf、锆石Hf同位素组成和与地幔类似的锆石O同位素,表明其母岩浆来源于同位素富集的岩石圈地幔的低程度部分熔融,而钙碱性安山岩则具有相对亏损的同位素组成(锆石εHf(t)高达+5.2)和高的锆石O同位素组成(δ18O=+8.1^+9.0‰),揭示它们来源于遭受俯冲流体/熔体交代的地幔源区,交代介质来源于俯冲到深部的低温热液蚀变洋壳.辽东-吉南地区早白垩世火山岩是由来源于富集地幔和交代地幔的两种不同性质的岩浆混合形成,利用锆石Hf-O同位素组成有效识别出的低温热液蚀变洋壳组分,为中生代古太平洋板块俯冲对华北克拉通破坏影响提供了确凿的物质记录和同位素证据.

SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages for the Paleoproterozoic metamorphic-magmatic events in the southeast margin of the North China Craton

A garnet-pyroxene bearing amphibolite as a xenolith hosted by the Mesozoic igneous rocks from Xuzhou-Suzhou area was dated by zircon SHRIMP U-Pb method, which yields a metamorphic age of 1918 ± 56 Ma. In addition, the zircons from a garnet amphibolite as a lens interbedded with marble in the Archean metamorphic complex named Wuhe group in the Bengbu uplift give a metamorphic U-Pb age of 1857 ± 19 Ma, and the zircons from Shimenshan deformed granite in the eastern margin of the Bengbu uplift give a magma crystallization U-Pb age of 2054 ± 22 Ma. Both the Xuzhou-Suzhou area and Bengbu uplift are located in the southeastern margin of the North China Craton. Therefore, these ages indicate that there is a Paleoproterozoic tectonic zone in the southeastern margin of the North China Craton, and its metamorphic and magmatic ages are consistent with those of the other three Paleoproterozoic tectonic zones in the North China Craton. In view of the large scale sinistral strike-slip movement occurred at the Mesozoic along the Tan-Lu fault zone, the position of the eastern Shandong area, which is a south section of the Paleoproterozoic Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt, was correlated to Xuzhou-Suzhou-Bengbu area prior to movement of the Tan-Lu fault zone. This suggests that the Xuzhou-Suzhou-Bengbu Paleoproterozoic tectonic zone might be a southwest extension of the Paleoproterozoic Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt.

SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating of late Paleoproterozoic kondalites in the Daqing Mountains area on the North China Craton

The Daqing Mountains area comprises a typical occurrence of the Khondalite Belt in the Western Block of the North China Craton (NCC). In this area, both early and late Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks have been identified in what was originally called the Upper Wula Mountains "Subgroup". Six metasedimentary rock samples yielded SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages of 2.56-2.04 Ga for detrital and 1.96-1.83 Ga for metamorphic zircons. Based on these data and previously published results, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1) The source region for the late Paleoproterozoic detrital sedimentary rocks is mainly 2.55 2.4 and 2.2 2.04 Ga in age, consistent with the early Precambrian geological history identified widely in the basement of the NCC. 2) The majority of sedimentary rocks of the khondalite series were deposited between 2.04 and 1.95 Ga, and then in a protracted period (1.96 and 1.83 Ga) underwent a complex history of amphibolite to granulite-facies metamorphism.     

Major tectonic units of the North China Craton and their Paleoproterozoic assembly

Geochemistry and zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating of granitoids from the west segment of the North Qaidam

Granitoid intrusives such as Saishitenshan, Tuanyushan, Aolaohe and Sanchagou occur widely in the western segment of North Qaidam. All these bodies trend NW, roughly parallel to the regional structure. Zircon SHRIMP dating for these granites show that they range in age from Ordovician to Permian; 465.4±3.5 Ma for Saishitenshan, 469.7±4.6 Ma and 443.5±3.6 Ma for Tuanyushan, 372.1±2.6 Ma for Aolaohe, and 271.2±1.5 Ma and 259.9±1.2 Ma for Sanchagou. Both the Tuanyshan and Aolaohe plutons record two distinct intrusive events. Geochemically, the early Paleozoic granites have an island arc or active continental margin affinity, and their protolith may have been Mesoproterozoic oceanic crust derived from depleted mantle. The protolith of the late Paleozoic granites may have been Mesoproterozoic lower crust from the root of an island arc with the magmas reflecting a mixture of mantle and crustal material.     

Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb age, geochemical, Sr-Nd isotopic, and in-situ Hf isotopic data of the Late Carboniferous-Early Permian plutons in the northern margin of the North China Craton

The main rock types of the Boluonuo and Daguangding plutons are diorite, quartz diorite, tonalite, granodiorite, and subordinate plagioclase-bearing hornblendite and hornblende gabbro. Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating for a quartz diorite of the Boluonuo pluton suggests that the pluton was emplaced at about 296±4 Ma. Plagioclase-bearing hornblendites show typical cumulative textures, which, in combination with their convex-upward REE patterns and the large variation of compatible elements such as Co, V and Sc, suggests that these hornblendites formed through accumulation of hornblende during magma evolution. Microgranular mafic enclaves (MMEs) are common in the Boluonuo and Daguangding intermediate to felsic plutons. Many plagioclase grains show compositional and textural disequilibrium, with calcium-rich cores (An 46-50 ) mantled abruptly by sodium-rich plagioclase (An 26-33 ). Whole-rock samples of the plutons are characterized by quite negative ε Nd (t) values (-16.5 to -11.8) and ε Hf (t) values (-22.5 to-16.8), and the ε Nd (t) values are negatively correlated with silica contents. All these features suggest that the intermediate to felsic plutons formed through magma mixing of enriched mantle-derived, evolved basaltic magma with granitic, crustal melts, followed by fractional crystallization of mainly hornblende and small amounts of pyroxene, apatite and zircon. The hornblende-dominated fractionation contributed significantly to the adakite-like features of the intermediate to felsic plutons, like the high Sr and Sr/Y ratios and low Yb abundance. In addition, the Boluonuo and Daguang- ding plutons are highly enriched in LILEs (e.g., Ba and Sr), but depleted in HFSEs (e.g., Nb, Zr and Ti), which is typical of arc magmas. Therefore, the formation of Boluonuo and Daguangding plutons was probably related to the subduction of the Paleo-Asian oceanic slab beneath the North China Craton in the Paleozoic.     

High-pressure granulite from Western Kunlun,northwestern China: Its metamorphic evolution,zircon SHRIMP U-Pb ages and tectonic implication

High-pressure mafic granulites occurring as lenticular bodies within garnet-amphibolites in Kangxiwar Fault have been first reported in this paper. The P-T conditions of two metamorphic stages were ob-tained using calibrated geothermal barometers and ThermoCalc Program. The peak metamorphic con-dition of these high-pressure granulites is about 760―820℃,1.0―1.2 GPa and the retrograde meta-morphic condition is about 620―720℃,0.7―0.8 GPa. The petrological studies show that they have a near-isobaric cooling P-T...     

LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating and phenocryst EPMA of dikes,Guocheng, Jiaodong Peninsula: Implications for North China Craton lithosphere evolution

Widespread dike swarm, including diorite-, monzonite-porphyry and lamprophyre, intruded in the al- tered breccia gold deposits along basin marginal faults, Guocheng, Jiaodong Peninsula. Petrography exhibits biotite enclaves in amphibole phenocrysts and the presence of acicular apatites in these dikes. Electron probe microanalyses (EPMA) show that the amphibole and clinopyroxene phenocryst’s mantle in diorite porphyry and lamprophyre respectively has sharply higher MgO (Mg#) and Cr2O3 contents in contrast to their cores. The plagioclase phenocryst in monzonite porphyry has reverse zoning. These results indicate that the magma mixing between mantle-derived mafic and crust-derived felsic magmas occurred in the original process of the dikes. Zircon cathodoluminescence (CL) images show well-developed magmatic oscillatory zones and the acquired LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb weighted mean 206Pb/238U ages are 114±2 Ma (MSDW=1.5) for monzonite porphyry (GS1) and 116±1 Ma (MSDW=0.8) for diorite porphyry (GS2), respectively. Earlier magmatic events in the northwest Jiaodong Peninsula represented by some inherited or captured zircons also occur in these dikes. Magmatic zircons from GS1 and GS2 display consistent chondrite-normalized REE patterns and Nb/Ta values, implying that they may share a similar or same source. HREE enrichment and obvious negative Eu anomalies of these zircons preclude garnet presented in their source. Our results, combined with preciously pub- lished data, indicate that dike intrusion and gold mineralization among quartz vein, altered tectonite and altered breccia gold deposits are broadly contemporaneous throughout the Jiaodong Peninsula. These also imply that the intensive crust-mantle interaction and asthenospheric underplating had oc- curred in the Early Cretaceous in the Peninsula, together with foundering of lower crust in the early Mesozoic, representing the different stages of lithosphere thinning in the North China Craton (NNC).     

Mantle dynamics of the Paleoproterozoic North China Craton: A perspective based on seismic tomography

We investigate the mantle dynamics beneath the North China Craton (NCC) and surrounding regions based on a synthesis of recent P-wave mantle tomographic data down to depths of 600–800 km and their correlation with the surface geological features, with particular reference to the Paleoproterozoic tectonic events associated with the incorporation of the NCC within the Columbia supercontinent amalgam. From the tomographic images, we identify a hot corridor in the mantle transition zone beneath the central region of the Western Block of the NCC sandwiched between two cold corridors. This scenario is similar to the donut-shaped high-velocity anomaly surrounding a region of low-velocity anomaly in the lowermost mantle under the Pacific and suggests that the cold regions might represent slab graveyards which provide the fuel for the plumes rising from the center. A tomographic transect along the collisional suture of the NCC with the Columbia supercontinent, covering the Yinshan-Ordos Blocks in the Western Block through the Central Orogenic Belt and into the Eastern Block of the NCC reveals a ca. 250 km thick lithospheric keel below the Ordos Block defined by a prominent high-velocity anomaly. We identify slab break-off and asthenospheric upwelling in this region and suggest that this process probably initiated the thermal and material erosion of the tectosphere beneath the Eastern Block from the Paleoproterozoic, which was further intensified during the Mesozoic when a substantial part of the sub-continental mantle lithosphere was lost. We visualize heat input from asthenosphere and interaction between asthenosphere and overlying carbonated tectosphere releasing CO₂-rich fluids for the preservation of ultra-high temperature (ca. 1000 °C) metamorphic rocks enriched in CO₂ as well as high-pressure mafic granulites as a paired suite in this region. We also identify a hot swell of the asthenosphere rooted to more than 200 km depth and reaching up to the shallow mantle in the tomographic section along 35°N latitude at a depth of 800 km. This zone represents a cross-section through the southern part of the NCC. The surface distribution of Paleoproterozoic Xiong’er lavas and mafic dykes in this region would indicate that this region might have evidenced similar upwellings in the past. Our study has important implications in understanding the evolution of the NCC and suggests that the extensive modification of the mantle architecture and lithospheric structure beneath one of the fundamental Precambrian nuclei of Asia had a prolonged history probably dating from the Paleoproterozoic suturing of the NCC within the Columbia supercontinent amalgam.     

Late Mesozoic magmatism and tectonic evolution in the Southern margin of the North China Craton

Late Mesozoic granitic magmatism(158–112 Ma) are widespread in the southern margin of the North China Craton(NCC), contemporary with many world-class Mo-Au-Ag-Pb-Zn polymetallic deposits. There are abrupt changes in the elements and isotopic compositions of these granites at about 127 Ma. The early stage(158–128 Ma) granites show slightly or no negative Eu anomalies, large ion lithophile elements enriched and heavy REE depleted(such as Y and Yb), belonging to typical I-type granite. The late stage(126–112 Ma) granites are characterized by A-type and/or highly fractionated I-type granite, with higher contents of SiO2, K2 O, Y, Yb and Rb/Sr ratio and lower contents of Sr, δEu value and Sr/Y ratio than that of the early-stage granites.Moreover, the whole rock Nd and Hf isotopic compositions of the granites younger than 127 Ma show more depleted than those of the older one. The two stages of Late Mesozoic granites were derived from a source region of the ancient basement of the southern margin of the NCC incorporated the mantle material. The late stage(126–112 Ma) granites contain more fractions of mantle material with depleted isotopic composition than the early ones. The granites record evidence for a strong crust-mantle interaction. They formed in an intracontinental extensional setting which was related to lithospheric thinning and asthenospheric upwelling in this region, which was possibly caused by westward subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate. 127 Ma is an critical period of the transformation of the tectonic regime.     

Bashikaogong-Shimierbulake granitic complex, north Altun, NW China:Geochemistry and zircon SHRIMP ages

The Bashikaogong-Shimierbulake granitoid complex is about 30 km long and 2―6 km wide, with an area of 140 km2, located at the north margin of the Bashikaogong Basin in the north Altun terrain. It intruded into schist, metapelite and metatuff of Precambrian ages. This granitoid complex consists of darkish quartz diorite, grey granite, pink granite and pegmatite. Geochemically, the quartz diorite has I-type granite affinity and belongs to Calc-alkaline sereies, and the other gran- ites have S-type affinity and to high-K calc-alkaline series. Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb dating shows that the quartz diorite has a bigger age than those of other granites, which is 481.6±5.6 Ma for quartz diorite, 437.0±3.0 Ma―433.1±3.4 Ma for grey granite and 443±11 Ma―434.6±1.6 Ma for pink granite, re- spectively. Combined with regional geology, we think that the quartz diorite formed in tectonic envi- ronment related to oceanic crust subduction and the granites in post-collision.
