Minor and trace elements in HF-soluble zircons

Electron probe analysis of a group of HF-soluble zircons from porphyroids of the Thuringian Forest, Germany, established yttrium, phosphorus, and iron to be the significant minor constituents. It is believed that these elements render the zircon structure HF-soluble. The Y content varies from about 6500–48000 ppm=0.83–6.10% Y₂O₃; the P concentrations range from a low of about 790 to a maximum of 4000 ppm=0.18–0.92% P₂O₅; the Fe content varies from about 400–15000 ppm=0.06–2.10% Fe₂O₃. Although both Y and P are distributed throughout each given grain, they are sometimes mutually enriched in growth zones. These zones are also resolved in reflected light micrographs and the electron images.     

U-Pb SHRIMP dating of zircons from metamorphic complexes in eastern Kamchatka

The metamorphic complexes of eastern Kamchatka exposed on the Khavyven Highland and Karaginsky Island, as well as on the Kamchatka and Ozernoi peninsulas, compose large (up to 1.5 km) elongated blocks spatially associated with ophiolitic peridotite and gabbroic rock bodies (the Khavyven Highland and Karaginsky Island) or make up isolated fragments and blocks among serpentinite melange (the Ozernoi and Kamchatka peninsulas). The degree of metamorphism of the primary rocks varies from the greenschist/amphibolite boundary facies (Karaginsky Island and the Khavyven Highland) to the high-pressure amphibolite facies (the Ozernoi and Kamchatka peninsulas).     

温都尔庙群锆石的LA-MC-ICPMS U-Pb年龄及构造意义

温都尔庙群分布在内蒙古中部地区,分下部桑达来呼都格组和上部哈尔哈达组,通常被认为属于蛇绿岩套组合,形成时代也一直存在争论。详细的野外调查表明,温都尔庙群不完全是蛇绿岩组合,还发育洋内弧的玄武岩-玄武安山岩-安山岩组合。所以,温都尔庙群为一套包含大洋洋壳、洋内弧等不同时代和成因的增生杂岩。对温都尔庙群洋内弧变质安山岩及变质碎屑岩进行锆石LA-MC-ICPMS法U-Pb同位素测年表明:桑达来呼都格组上部洋内弧变质安山岩年龄为470±2Ma。哈尔哈达组两个样品(10NM142、10NM143)的碎屑锆石年龄主要集中在445~480Ma范围内,其中10NM143样品中最年轻谐和年龄多在424~438Ma之间,表明至少有一部分地层形成于中志留世。考虑温都尔庙群蛇绿岩形成时代(497~477Ma)、高压变质时代(446±15Ma~453±1.8Ma)及晚志留世西别河组不整合覆盖其上的事实,桑达来呼都格组可能形成于寒武纪-晚奥陶世,哈尔哈达组形成于晚奥陶世-中志留世。因此,温都尔庙群是形成于寒武纪-中志留世的变质增生杂岩。     

U-Pb systematics of detrital zircons from the Serebryanka Group of the Central Urals

Based on the LA-ICP-MS data, detrital zircons from the tillite-type conglomerates of the Tanin Formation (Serebryanka Group) on the western slope of the Central Urals include approximately equal proportions of crystals with Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic U-Pb ages. Therefore, we can assume that crystalline rocks of the basement beneath the eastern part of the East European Craton served as a provenance for aluminosilicate clastics in the initial Serebryanka period. Detrital zircons from sandstones of the Kernos Formation have the Meso-Neoarchean (∼15%), Paleoproterozoic (∼60%), and Mesoproterozoic (∼26%) age. Comparison of the obtained data with the results of the study of detrital zircons from Riphean and Vendian sandstones of the Southern Urals shows that the Riphean and Lower Vendian rocks are mainly represented by erosional products of Middle and Upper Paleoproterozoic crystalline rocks that constitute the basement of the East European Craton. In addition, a notable role belonged to older (Lower Proterozoic, Neoarchean and Mesoarchean) rock associations during the formation of the Serebryanka Group. The terminal Serebryanka time (Kernos Age) differed from its initial stage (Tanin Age) by the appearance of Mesoproterozoic complexes in provenances. According to available data, these complexes played an insignificant role in the formation of Riphean-Vendian rocks in the neighboring South Uralian segment. This implies a spatiotemporal diversity of clastic material sources for Upper Precambrian rocks in the western megazone of the Southern and Central Urals.     

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。     

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。     

点苍山-哀牢山杂岩带多期变质作用:嘎洒地区变沉积岩锆石微量元素与U-Pb年代学制约

点苍山-哀牢山杂岩带位于青藏高原东南缘,为云南三江地区一条重要的造山带,由扬子板块和印支板块于晚二叠世-中晚三叠世碰撞拼合而成。杂岩带主要由各类副片麻岩、片岩、石英岩、大理岩和斜长角闪岩构成,岩石发育强烈糜棱岩化和深熔作用。本文选取哀牢山北段新平嘎洒地区变沉积岩为研究对象,通过对变沉积岩锆石的阴极发光图像、微量元素、矿物包裹体组合、表面形态和U-Pb年龄的综合研究,揭示出嘎洒地区哀牢山杂岩经历了两期变质事件:其中,含石榴子石斜长二云母片岩中30颗变质锆石获得了较为一致的206Pb/238U年龄215±6Ma~227±5Ma,加权平均年龄为222.3±1.2Ma(n=30,MSWD=0.27),这些锆石具有浑圆状或椭圆状形态、较为均匀的阴极发光图像、平坦的HREE配分模式((Lu/Gd)N=0.73~4.08)和弱的负Eu异常,这些特征与典型的高级变质岩中变质锆石相似,而锆石的Th/U比值较为分散为0.06~0.84,平均值为0.45,可能与变质过程中富Th矿物独居石分解有关。变质年龄与杂岩带中点苍山和元阳地区变质岩中、晚三叠世变质年龄极为吻合,指示这期变质事件与中-晚三叠世古特提斯洋闭合-造山有关,标志着点苍山-哀牢山杂岩带为三江地区一条重要的古缝合线。此外,嘎洒地区夕线石榴黑云二长片麻岩的岩相学特征显示,岩石经历了石榴子石的转熔作用,除两颗锆石年龄为35.4Ma外,28颗锆石(增生边)给出了误差范围内较为一致的206Pb/238U年龄(27.3±0.5Ma~31.9±0.5Ma),加权平均年龄为29.4±0.53Ma(n=28,MSWD=2.0)。这些锆石的增生边中的矿物包裹体组合为夕线石+钾长石+黑云母+石英+独居石,且具有较低的Th/U比值(0.01~0.1),平坦的重稀土(HREE)配分模式((Lu/Gd)N=0.45~7.59)和中等程度的负Eu异常,这些特征指示该类锆石为典型的变质锆石。变质年龄与新生代红河-哀牢山剪切带内大量发现的同剪切岩浆岩、变质岩的年龄较为一致,指示这期年轻的变质事件与岩石圈尺度大规模剪切运动有关。此外,两类变沉积岩中6颗继承性碎屑锆石的年龄分布范围为528~783Ma,这些锆石具有锥形的锆石形态,清晰的振荡环带,表面发育蚀痕和凹坑,较高的Th/U比(0.1),陡倾的HREE配分曲线,表明这些锆石为经过剥蚀-搬运-沉积的岩浆锆石,具有继承性碎屑锆石的特征,说明哀牢山杂岩变沉积岩中至少应包含新元古代和早古生代的沉积物源,指示研究区哀牢山杂岩带部分岩石并不属于真正意义上的扬子结晶基底。     

Trace and major elements in the sea-surface microlayer

Sea-surface microlayer samples were obtained in the North sea, by collecting droplets ejected by bubbles bursting at the sea-surface. The samples were analysed for some trace and major elements, mainly by neutron activation and atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and the results were compared with those from samples of bulk seawater taken at the same time. For any element X, the results may be expressed as a concentration factor related to Na, thus: $\text{CF =}\text{ratio of X and Na concentrations in microlayer sample}\text{similar ratio in corresponding bulk seawater sample}$The CF values for trace elements showed wide fluctuations from sample to sample. The only two elements for which relatively unambiguous CF values were obtained were Sc (from 2.5 to 100) and Pb (from 140 to 410). Other CF values were obtained for Co (up to 76). Zn (<50), La (up to 3000) and Ce (up to 500). The major ions Mg, Cl, K, Ca, Br, gave CF values between 0.54 and 2.2 in all cases measured. It is concluded that large enrichments of some trace elements can occur in the surface microlayer, but enrichment of major ions has not been observed.Concentrations of about 30 trace elements in particulate form in bulk seawater were measured in the course of the study.     

黑龙江多宝山花岗闪长岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

采用锆石SHRIMP U-Pb测年方法对多宝山花岗闪长岩进行定年,结果为479.5±4.6 Ma,据多宝山、铜山铜(钼)矿床中辉钼矿的Re-Os同位素等时线年龄(506±14 Ma),结合区域地质资料,认为多宝山花岗闪长岩侵位年龄为前奥陶纪,被多宝山花岗闪长岩岩体侵位的矿区地层时代、多宝山铜矿成矿主期、与成矿有关的多宝山北西向控矿、容矿构造应属于前奥陶纪,且多宝山花岗闪长岩形成于火山岛弧或活动的陆缘构造环境,岩浆来源以幔源物质为主,同熔了部份壳源物质.     

Trace elements in world steam coal and their behaviour in Dutch coal-fired power stations: A review

Trace elements associated with the combustion of coal have received more attention recently, as can be seen from the increasing demands laid down in legislation and permits.Knowledge of the trace element content of coal is essential. Coal used in the Netherlands is imported from all over the world. As a consequence, Dutch power stations are designed to burn a wide range of bituminous coals. The largest share nowadays originates from South Africa, Colombia, and Indonesia, with these three countries accounting for more than 85% of the coal fired in the Netherlands in recent years. The coals, as imported in the Netherlands, have been monitored for their (trace) element content. At present the database contains results of own analyses of about 170 coals, originating from 14 different countries. An important uncertainty was the question of how homogeneous the imported lots are. It appears that the lots as imported from overseas are fairly homogeneous.The behaviour and fate of trace elements in coal-fired power stations has been studied in more than 40 mass balance studies since 1977. More than 50 test series have been completed during co-combustion of biomass and waste materials (up to 40% on mass base) since 1993. It has therefore been possible to establish a relationship between (trace) elements in the fuel and the ash, as well as with emissions into the atmosphere.     

德兴矿集区花岗闪长斑岩锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素特征及其意义

德兴矿集区位于赣东北地区,是中国东部中生代钦杭成矿带中的大型铜金铅锌矿集区之一,集中了铜厂、富家坞和朱砂红斑岩铜钼(金)矿、银山银铜铅锌多金属矿和金山金矿等大型、超大型矿床。本文在系统的野外地质调查与样品采集的基础上,对铜厂、富家坞、朱砂红及银山花岗闪长斑岩进行了LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年和原位Hf同位素分析。德兴矿集区花岗闪长斑岩的LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb的4组年龄分别为:(171±1.2)Ma(铜厂)、(172±0.68)Ma(富家坞)、(173±1.3)Ma(朱砂红)、(176±1.5)Ma(银山),表明这些岩体均为中侏罗世的产物。样品Hf两阶段模式年龄平均值分别为861 Ma、876 Ma、904 Ma和941 Ma,正的εHf(t)平均值在4.34-5.54,Zr/Hf比值接近于上地幔的Zr/Hf比值。锆石Hf同位素组成显示,岩浆源区主要来源于亏损地幔组分,但在岩浆演化中遭受了古老地壳物质的混染,幔源物质在德兴矿集区花岗闪长斑岩的形成过程中发挥了重要作用。德兴矿集区4个矿床成岩成矿的最重要时期在170-175 Ma,该矿集区岩浆热液系统持续活动可能是该大型矿集区形成的重要原因。     

糜棱岩化-绢云母化对东秦岭方城正长岩中锆石U-Pb体系的影响

方城碱性正长岩岩体产于秦岭造山带东段北秦岭构造域,侵位于新元古界栾川群黑云母、绢云母石英片岩中,主要由霓辉正长岩、霓霞正长岩、黑云母正长岩和角闪霞石正长岩组成。具有轻微绢云母化的霓辉正长岩中的锆石为无色透明的短柱状晶体,其阴极发光图像显示清晰的振荡韵律环带,锆石的LA-ICPMS分析表明岩体形成于新元古代,^ 206 Pb／^238 U加权平均年龄为（844．3±1．6）Ma（MSWD=0．86）。而靠近断裂带的糜棱岩化和强烈绢云母化霓辉正长岩中的锆石则为淡黄-黄褐色半透明颗粒,其阴极发光和背散射电子图像显示其裂隙非常发育,有时为钾长石穿插呈海绵状,仅个别颗粒的局部区域仍可见残留的岩浆锆石的环带结构。LA-ICPMS分析结果表明,交代蚀变所形成的热液锆石的Pb、U、Th含量显著增高,而且成分极不均一,含量变化范围很大,U、Th含量分别在32-1550μg／g和188—4059μg／g之间。锆石Th／U比值具有很大的变化范围,Th／U=0．7—44．9。热液锆石。^ 206 Pb／^238 U表面年龄与其U、放射成因Pb及普通Pb含量成反比。由于岩浆锆石U、Th含量较低,其α衰变放射性剂量较小（Dα=3．65×10^14-2．04×10^15／mg）,因此扩散作用所引起的放射成因铅的活动性可忽略不计,所以糜棱岩化、绢云母化霓辉正长岩中锆石U—Pb体系的扰动应是糜棱岩化对锆石晶体结构的损伤和强烈热液交代的结果。由于热液锆石的形成经历了溶解-再沉积等复杂的过程,其U-Pb年龄（不一致线下交点年龄）的地质意义并不明确。     

北大别黄土岭麻粒岩锆石U—Pb离子探针定年

U-Pb dating and provenance of detrital zircons from the Upper Precambrian deposits of North Timan

Timan comprises the southwest edge of the Pechora Plate. The plate basement is composed of variably metamorphosed sedimentary, mainly terrigenous, and igneous rocks of the Late Precambrian age that are generally overlain by Ordovician-Cenozoic platform cover. Poor exposition and discontinuous distribution of the Upper Precambrian outcrops of dominantly fossil-free sedimentary rocks cause considerable disagreements in stratigraphic correlation. This applies equally to North Timan, which represents an uplifted block of basement, in which sedimentary-metamorphic rocks form the Barminskaya Group (～5000 m thick), previously dated as Early Riphean to Vendian. Earlier Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotope dating of schist and cross-cutting gabbro-dolerite and dolerite established the timing of greenschist facies metamorphism at 700 Ma. Thus, Late Riphean age of the Barminskaya Group has been suggested. Results of local U-Pb dating of detrital zircon from silty sandstones of the Malochernoretskaya Formation, which constitutes the middle part of the outcropping section of the Barminskaya Group, confirm this conclusion. Age data for 95 zircon grains cover the range of 1035–2883 Ma with age peaks at 1150, 1350, 1550, 1780, and 1885 Ma. The minimum age of zircons, considered as the lower age constraint on sediment deposition, provides grounds to date the Barminskaya Group as Late Riphean and indicates eroded rock complexes of the Fennoscandian Shield as the possible provenance areas.     

Metamorphic growth and recrystallization of zircons in extremely O-depleted rocks during eclogite-facies metamorphism: Evidence from U-Pb ages, trace elements, and O-Hf isotopes

A combined in situ SIMS and LA-(MC)-ICPMS study of U-Pb ages, trace elements, O and Lu-Hf isotopes was conducted for zircon from eclogite-facies metamorphic rocks in the Sulu orogen. The two microbeam techniques sampled various depths of zircon domains, revealing different element and isotope relationships between residual magmatic cores and new metamorphic rims and thus the geochemical architecture of metamorphic zircons which otherwise cannot be recognized by the single microbeam technique. This enables discrimination of metamorphic growth from different subtypes of metamorphic recrystallization. Magmatic cores with U-Pb ages of 769 ± 9 Ma have positive δ¹⁸O values of 0.1-10.1‰, high Th/U and ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios, high REE contents, and steep MREE-HREE patterns with negative Eu anomalies. They are interpreted as crystallizing from positive δ¹⁸O magmas during protolith emplacement. In contrast, newly grown domains have concordant U-Pb ages of 204 ± 4 to 252 ± 7 Ma and show negative δ¹⁸O values of −10.0‰ to −2.2‰, low Th/U and ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios, low REE contents, and flat HREE patterns with weak to no Eu anomalies. They are interpreted as growing from negative δ¹⁸O fluids that were produced by metamorphic dehydration of high-T glacial-hydrothermally altered rocks during continental subduction-zone metamorphism. Differences in δ¹⁸O between different domains within single grains vary from 0.8‰ to 12.5‰, suggesting different degrees of O isotope exchange between the positive δ¹⁸O magmatic core and the negative δ¹⁸O metamorphic fluid during the metamorphism. The magmatic zircons underwent three subtypes of metamorphic recrystallization, depending on their accessibility to negative δ¹⁸O fluids. The zircons recrystallized in solid-state maintained positive δ¹⁸O values, and REE and Lu-Hf isotopes of protolith zircon, but their U-Pb ages are lowered. The zircons recrystallized through dissolution exhibit negative δ¹⁸O values similar to the metamorphic growths, almost completely reset U-Pb ages, and partially reset REE systems. The zircons recrystallized through replacement show variably negative δ¹⁸O values, and partially reset REE, and U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic systems. Therefore, this study places robust constraints on the origin of metamorphic zircons in eclogite-facies rocks and provides a methodological framework for linking the different types of metamorphic zircons to petrological processes during continental collision.     

Trace elements in supergene phosphorites

Supergene phosphorites were analyzed for Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd, Sc, Cr, Ag, and V, i.e., elements incorporated in carbonate-apatite by isomorphic substitution. The phosphorites were subdivided into four groups: (1) phosphorites related to the weathering of sedimentary rocks, (2) phosphorites related to the weathering of endogenous rocks, (3) lacustrine coprolite phosphorites, and (4) phosphorites of ocean islands. In all the phosphorites groups, Sr, Zn, and Ba were the most abundant of the trace elements, whereas Cd, Ag, and Sc showed the lowest concentrations. Variations in trace element contents between supergene phosphorites of different genetic groups or within a single group can be explained by the different compositions of weathered rocks and geochemical environments of supergene phosphorite formation. At the same time, the contents of some trace elements are correlated with the structural type of phosphorite. In particular, phosphorite crusts or only their outer parts show elevated contents of chalcophile elements (Cd, Zn, and Ag), whereas massive phosphorites and inner parts of crusts are often enriched in such lithophile elements as Sc, V, and Cr. It was found that Cd, Zn, Ag, Sr, and Ba are positively correlated with CO₂ but show negligible correlations with other constituents of carbonate-apatite.     

安庆大龙山复式岩体锆石U-Pb年代学与地质意义

安徽安庆大龙山岩体位于扬子地台北东缘,发育大量中生代侵入岩浆岩。野外地质勘查发现,大龙山岩体可能为复式岩体,有多期岩浆作用,在其核部的正长岩附近发育一定量的闪长玢岩。对闪长玢岩和正长岩进行年代学研究,其锆石年龄分别为（137.7±1.9）Ma和（128.8±2.1）Ma。其中,在大龙山闪长玢岩中发育一定量的继承锆石,形成年代分别为古元古代（约2.0 Ga）和新元古代（约0.8 Ga）,在正长岩中未发现捕获继承锆石。根据获取的继承锆石年龄,结合区域地质演化资料,推断大龙山岩体经历了复杂的演化过程：古元古代的褶皱“会聚”到伸展体制转换的“回返”,新元古代的拉张垮塌,中生代的多期次岩浆侵入和多来源、多阶段的结晶分异。     

U-Pb data on zircons for the thermal peak of metamorphism in the Variscan Odenwald,Germany

U-Pb data are presented for zircons from metamorphic rocks of the crystalline Odenwald that comprises part of the Mid-German Crystalline Rise. The Odenwald can be divided into four principal domains with different magmatic and metamorphic histories on the basis of published structural and petrological data and the presented ages. In the eastern (Böll-stein) Odenwald the metasedimentary rocks contain zircons derived from basement rocks that exceed 2.2 Ga in age. The intrusion of granitic magmas into these metasedimentary rocks took place before or close to the end of the thermal peak of metamorphism at 375 ± 5 Ma ago. Rapid uplift of the Böllstein Odenwald occurred at about 320 Ma bp, later than in the Bergsträsser Odenwald. The western (Bergsträsser) Odenwald can be subdivided, by geochronological, petrological and especially structural data, into a northern, a central and a southern part. In the northern part basic magmatism has an age of 362 ± 7 Ma. The peak of thermal metamorphism in the southernmost Odenwald was accompanied by partial melting of metasedimentary rocks and the formation of new zircons with ages between 332 and 342 Ma. Probable peak metamorphic conditions, revealed by two samples from the heterogeneous central part, occurred at about 336 Ma, i.e. in the same time span as in the southernmost part, but later than in the Böllstein area and the northern Odenwald. Rapid uplift started earlier in the central and southern part and 10–20 Ma earlier than in the Böllstein Odenwald. Cooling from 500 to 300°C occurred in the northern part in the time interval between the elevation of the other parts of the Bergstraesser Odenwald and the Böllstein Odenwald. There is no indication for any thermal equilibrium between 2.25 Ga and 375 Ma recorded in the zircons of both areas.     

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

利用长安大学成矿作用及其动力学实验室Agilent 7700X四极杆等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)和Photo Machines Analyte Excite 193nm激光,在激光频率为5Hz,束斑直径为35μm条件下,对91500、GJ-1、Ple?ovice和Qinghu 4个标准锆石进行了原位微区U-Pb同位素和微量元素测定。结果显示,91500标准锆石20个测试点的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄范围为1059~1070Ma,~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值为1063.8±6.6Ma;GJ-1标准锆石28个测试点的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄范围为601~610Ma,~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值为605.4±3.0Ma;Ple?ovice标准锆石28个测试点的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄范围为336~341Ma,~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值为338.8±1.4Ma;Qinghu标准锆石40个测试点的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄范围为158~165Ma,~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值为159.9±0.7Ma。上述结果表明,91500、GJ-1、Ple?ovice和Qinghu 4个标准锆石的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄都在误差范围内,且年龄加权平均值与前人报道的年龄在误差范围内一致。同时,4个标准锆石的微量元素结果基本落在前人文献报道的范围内。从4个标准锆石的稀土元素球粒陨石标准化曲线可以看出,稀土元素的相对含量较准确。以上结果表明,建立的测试方法实现了对锆石原位微区U-Pb定年及微量元素的同时测定,分析数据结果准确、可靠。
