Zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotope compositions of migmatite from the North Dabie terrane in China: constraints on partial melting

Migmatite gneisses are widespread in the Dabie orogen, but their formation ages are poorly constrained. Eight samples of migmatite, including leucosome, melanosome, and banded gneiss, were selected for U–Pb dating and Hf isotope analysis. Most metamorphic zircon occurs as overgrowths around inherited igneous cores or as newly grown grains. Morphological and internal structure features suggest that their growth is associated with partial melting. According to the Hf isotope ratio relationships between metamorphic zircon and inherited cores, three formation mechanisms for metamorphic zircon can be determined, which are dissolution–reprecipitation of pre‐existing zircon, breakdown of Zr‐bearing phase other than zircon in a closed system and crystallization from externally derived Zr‐bearing melt. Four samples contain magmatic zircon cores, yielding upper intercept U–Pb ages of 807 ± 35–768 ± 12 Ma suggesting that the protoliths of the migmatites are Neoproterozoic in age. The migmatite zircon yields weighted mean two‐stage Hf model ages of 2513 ± 97–894 ± 54 Ma, indicating reworking of both juvenile and ancient crustal materials at the time of their protolith formation. The metamorphic zircons give U–Pb ages of 145 ± 2–120 ± 2 Ma. The oldest age indicates that partial melting commenced prior to 145 Ma, which also constrains the onset of extensional tectonism in this region to pre‐145 Ma. The youngest age of 120 Ma was obtained from an undeformed granitic vein, indicating that deformation in this area was complete at this time. Two major episodes of partial melting were dated at 139 ± 1 and 123 ± 1Ma. The first episode of partial melting is obviously older than the timing of post‐collision magmatism, corresponding to regional extension. The second episode of partial melting is coeval with the widespread post‐collision magmatism, indicating the gravitational collapse and delamination of the orogenic lithospheric keel of the Dabie orogen, which were possibly triggered by the uprising of the Cretaceous mid‐Pacific superplume.     

苏鲁造山带荣成超高压地体片麻岩锆石年龄和铪同位素组成特征

本文对苏鲁造山带内荣成超高压地体片麻岩样品进行了锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素和全岩Nd同位素分析,旨于探讨片麻岩的原岩性质及成因。3个片麻岩样品的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄(770Ma和710Ma之间)表明原岩形成于晚元古代,与Rodinia超大陆裂解过程的岩浆活动时间相吻合。14个片麻岩的单阶段钕模式年龄变化在1.70Ga至2.30Ga(平均～1.93Ga),表明荣成超高压地体片麻岩平均地壳存留时间为古元古代,与扬子陆块的平均地壳形成年龄相一致,暗示具有扬子陆块属性。其锆石ε_(Hf)(t)值(t=750Ma)和模式年龄值变化范围大。2个片麻岩的锆石具有非常负的ε_(Hf)(t),平均值为-16.4,铪模式年龄为2.70Ga。6个片麻岩的锆石ε_(Hf)(t)平均值为-7.7,铪模式年龄为2.15Ga。这些结果表明荣成超高压地体部分原岩主要由太古代-古元古代地壳物质在晚元古代时重熔形成的,进一步说明荣成地区可能有扬子陆块的太古代地壳残留。另有6个片麻岩的锆石ε_(Hf)(t)变化范围为-0.56至6.6之间,其中部分锆石的两阶段Hf模式年龄为0.81Ga至0.94Ga,表明片麻岩原岩晚元古代形成时,有幔源岩浆活动和新生地壳形成,可能同时存在强烈壳-幔相互作用,上侵的幔源岩浆底侵导致上覆扬子陆块太古代-古元古代地壳物质重熔,形成花岗质岩浆。     

大别造山带碧溪岭橄榄岩中锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素研究

在详细形态和内部结构研究基础上,对碧溪岭橄榄岩锆石进行了配套的U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素分析.碧溪岭橄榄岩锆石主体是变质成因的,但有少量岩浆锆石残留.这些锆石主体给出了220～210 Ma的变质生长/重结晶作用年龄;一颗具较高Th/U比值的锆石给出646 Ma的近协和年龄,限定了早期岩浆结晶作用的最小年龄.真正的侵位年龄可以由745 Ma的上交点年龄来限定;210～222 Ma则记录着深俯冲陆壳折返过程中的锆石生长.除少数颗粒的εHf为负值外（-2.9）,大部分锆石的εHf是正的（高速＋8.1）并具新元古代的亏损地幔模式年龄（0.6～1.0 Ga,平均0.8 Ga）.这些结果说明碧溪岭橄榄岩的初始物质是扬子大陆岩石圈内新元古代岩浆堆积作用产物.这样的岩浆堆积物来源于亏损的软流圈地幔,侵入于扬子的深部地壳之中（如底侵）并部分混染了古老地壳组分.它们随扬子向华北之下深俯冲碰撞和造山带折返过程中经历着复杂的变质改造作用.     

SHRIMP U–Pb dating of coesite-bearing zircon from the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks, Sulu terrane, east China

This paper provides further evidence for the ongoing discussion as to whether the Dabie UHPM belt formed in Triassic or Palaeozoic time, and whether the Sulu UHPM belt formed in Triassic or Neoproterozoic time. Combined use of laser Raman spectrometer (LR), cathodoluminescence imaging (CL), and ion probe U–Pb in‐situ dating (SHRIMP) provided accurate ages of UHPM from rocks collected from Weihai, NE Sulu UHPM belt. LR was used to identify coesite and other UHP minerals as inclusions in zircon separates from an amphibolized peridotite and an eclogite. CL was used to examine the zoning structure of these zircon, and SHRIMP dating was performed on specific spots on zircon to obtain ages of different geological events. An age of 221 ± 12 Ma was obtained for coesite‐bearing zircon from the amphibolized peridotite; an age of 228 ± 29 Ma for eclogite was obtained from the lower intercept of a concordia plot. These ages are interpreted as the time of UHPM in the Weihai region. Ultramafic rocks to the east of Weihai yield a magmatic age at 581 ± 44 Ma. The zircon in the ultramafic rocks possibly also records a thermal event at c. 400 Ma, but no independent geological evidence for this event has been found. The eclogite protolith formed in the Middle Proterozoic (1821 ± 19 Ma), which is similar to the age of country rock gneisses of 1847–1744 Ma. The new geochronological data confirm that UHPM occurred in the Triassic in the Sulu area when subduction took the ultramafic body and the eclogite protolith, together with the adjacent supracrustal rocks, to mantle depths.     

福建紫金山地区中生代岩浆岩成因——锆石Hf同位素证据

对福建紫金山地区中生代岩浆岩进行了锆石Hf同位素分析,结果表明中-晚侏罗世与早白垩世岩浆岩具有不同的Hf同位素组成.中-晚侏罗世花岗岩体具有低的εHf(t)值(-13.5～-2.9),Hf同位素的二阶段模式年龄(tDCM)峰值介于1.7～2.0 Ga,表明其主要来源于古元古代基底.早白垩世侵入-次火山岩分为四方花岗闪长岩体和紫金山次火山岩、悦洋次火山岩以及温屋次火山岩.四方岩体εHf(t)值介于-2.3～0.4,tDCM峰值介于1.3～1.4Ga;紫金山次火山岩εHf(t)值变化范围大(-8.9～5.6),tDCM峰值介于1.1～～1.5 Ga,表明两者均形成于中元古代基底和地幔物质混合作用的环境;悦洋和温屋次火山岩具有相对较低的εHf(t)(-2.7～-9.6)和较高的tDCM(峰值为1.4～1.7 Ga),表明二者来源于中-古元古代基底和少量幔源物质的混合物.早白垩世岩浆岩Hf同位素特征显示,紫金山地区的侵入-次火山岩体形成于同一岩浆源区,但岩浆源区随着时间的演化各组分及组分含量在不断变化,显示了该时期复杂的壳幔作用过程.紫金山地区中生代岩浆岩中锆石Hf同位素特征表明,中-晚侏罗世岩体与早白垩世侵入-火山岩来源于不同源区,为古太平洋板块俯冲作用不同阶段的产物.

Zircon U–Pb age, trace element and Hf isotope composition of Kongling terrane in the Yangtze Craton: refining the timing of Palaeoproterozoic high-grade metamorphism

U–Pb age, trace element and Hf isotope compositions of zircon were analysed for a metasedimentary rock and two amphibolites from the Kongling terrane in the northern part of the Yangtze Craton. The zircon shows distinct morphological and chemical characteristics. Most zircon in an amphibolite shows oscillatory zoning, high Th/U and ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios, high formation temperature, high trace element contents, clear negative Eu anomaly, as well as HREE-enriched patterns, suggesting that it is igneous. The zircon yields a weighted mean ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age of 2857 ± 8 Ma, representing the age of the magmatic protolith. The zircon in the other two samples is metamorphic. It has low Th/U ratios, low trace element concentrations, variable HREE contents (33.8 ≥ Lu_N≥2213; 14.7 ≤ Lu_N/Sm_N ≤ 354) and ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios (0.000030–0.001168). The data indicate that the zircon formed in the presence of garnet and under upper amphibolite facies conditions. The metamorphic zircon yields a weighted mean ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age of 2010 ± 13 Ma. These results combined with previously obtained Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic ages suggest a c. 2.0 Ga Palaeoproterozoic collisional event in the Yangtze Craton, which may result from the assembly of the supercontinent Columbia. The zircon in two samples yields weighted mean two-stage Hf model ( T _DM2) ages of 3217 ± 110 and 2943 ± 50 Ma, respectively, indicating that their protoliths were mainly derived from Archean crust.     

Petrological and zircon evidence for anatexis of UHP quartzite during continental collision in the Sulu orogen

Petrological evidence is provided for anatexis of ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic quartzite in the Sulu orogen. Some feldspar grains exhibit elongated, highly cuspate shapes or occur as interstitial, cuspate phases constituting interconnected networks along grain boundaries. Elongated veinlets composed of plagioclase + quartz ± K‐feldspar also occur in grain boundaries. These features provide compelling evidence for anatexis of the UHP quartzite. Zircon grains from impure quartzite are all metamorphic growth with highly irregular shape. They contain inclusions of coesite, jadeite, rutile and lower pressure minerals, including multiphase solid inclusions that are composed of two or more phases of muscovite, quartz, K‐feldspar and plagioclase. All zircon grains exhibit steep REE patterns, similar U–Pb ages and Hf isotope compositions with a weighted mean of 218 ± 2 Ma. Most grains have similar δ¹⁸O values of ?0.6 to 0.1‰, but a few fall in the range ?5.2 to ?4.3‰. Thus, these grains would have grown from anatectic melts at various pressures. Zircon O isotope differences indicate that anatectic melts were derived from different sources with contrasting O isotopes, but similar Hf isotopes, that is, one from the quartzite itself and the other probably from the country‐rock granitic gneiss. Zircon grains from pure quartzite contain relict magmatic cores and significant metamorphic overgrowths. Domains that contain eclogite facies minerals exhibit flat HREE patterns, no Eu anomalies and concordant U–Pb ages of c. 220 Ma. Similar U–Pb ages are also obtained for domains that contain lower pressure minerals and exhibit steep REE patterns and marked negative Eu anomalies. These observations indicate that zircon records subsolidus overgrowth at eclogite facies conditions but suprasolidus growth at lower pressures. Zircon enclosed by garnet gave consistent U–Pb ages of c. 214 Ma. Such garnet is interpreted as a peritectic product of the anatectic reaction that involves felsic minerals and possibly amphibole and titanite. The REE patterns of epidote and titanite also record multistage growth and metasomatism by anatectic melts. Therefore, the anatexis of UHP metamorphic rocks is evident during continental collision in the Triassic.     

Fabric kinematics of the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks from the main borehole of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Project: Implications for continental subduction and exhumation

The 5158-m-deep main borehole of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Project (CCSD-MH) penetrated granitic gneisses, paragneisses, eclogites, retrograde eclogites, amphibolites and ultramafic rocks in the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic terrane, eastern China. The CCSD-MH consists of four petro-structural units separated by three SE-dipping ductile shear zones DFa (835-1280 m), DFb (2010-2280 m) and DFc (2920-3225 m), which are correspondent with the regional shear zones in the northern Sulu UHP supracrustal zone. Using the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique, we investigated the lattice-preferred orientations (LPOs) of omphacite, diopside and quartz in core samples from the CCSD-MH. Omphacite from eclogites and diopside from garnet pyroxenites display very strong LPOs, which are characterized by the maximum concentration of [001]-axes parallel to the lineation and (010)-poles normal to the foliation. Quartz in para- and granitic mylonites/gneisses from the shear zones DFa, DFb and DFc developed multiple slip systems. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of biotite in para- and granitic gneisses from the CCSD-MH yields 223-202 Ma, which constrains the formation ages of the quartz high-temperature prism slip systems {m}<a> and {m}[c]. The asymmetric LPOs of omphacite, diopside, olivine and quartz with respect to the structural frame reveal three deformation phases in the Sulu terrane. In the Middle Triassic, the northward subduction of the Yangtze plate to depths > 100 km produced a top-to-the-south shear sense in LPOs of omphacite, diopside and olivine, and a nearly N-S-striking foliation and a subhorizontal N-S-trending lineation in eclogites and ultramafic rocks. In the Late Triassic, the UHP rocks were exhumed to the lower crust and quartz developed high-temperature slip systems with a top-to-the-NW shear sense, which is consistent with the regional SE-dipping foliation and SE-plunging lineation in the ductile shear zones. In the Cretaceous the UHP rocks were exhumed to the middle crust when the migmatization and granitic intrusion formed a NE-striking antiform structure. As a result, the activation of quartz low-temperature basal slip (0001)<a> is characterized by a top-to-the-SE shear sense in the south, but a top-to-the-NW shear sense in the north.     

赣南地区寒武系牛角河组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄 和Hf同位素特征及其地质意义

大别造山带新太古代地壳岩石和古元古代混合岩化作用——来自锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素证据

大别造山带北大别超高压变质带是研究秦岭-大别-苏鲁造山带古老基底演化过程的关键区域,其内广泛发育的混合岩长期被认为主要形成于中生代。本文对北大别团风一带新识别出的一套混合岩开展了锆石U-Pb定年和Hf同位素组成分析,结果显示,混合岩第一类锆石核部具有岩浆锆石特点,组成的不一致线上交点年龄为2850±86 Ma,该年龄代表了混合岩原岩年龄。第二类锆石具有变质深熔锆石特点,其加权平均²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb年龄为2011±12 Ma,代表了混合岩化的时间。岩浆锆石多数具有负的ε_Hf(t)值(—8.1～2.2),对应两阶段Hf同位素模式年龄(T_DM2)为3.6～3.0 Ga,表明原岩可能为大别造山带内古太古代地壳物质重熔形成,并可能在形成过程中伴有少量幔源物质加入。与之相比,变质锆石均具有正的ε_Hf(t)值(0.3～8.2),对应T_DM2为2.7～2.2 Ga,说明在混合岩化变质深熔过程中锆石Lu-Hf同位素体系完全开放,导致了锆石Hf同位素组成的升高。本文研究表...     

Slab break-off model for the Triassic syn-collisional granites in the Qinling orogenic belt,Central China: Zircon U-Pb age and Hf isotope constraints

Numerous Triassic granitoids in the Qinling orogenic belt related to the Late Triassic collision between the North China Craton (NCC) and the Yangtze Block (YB) are important for determining the crustal composition at depth and the geodynamic processes by which the orogen formed. Most of the Triassic plutons in the Qinling orogen were emplaced between 205 and 225 Ma. The granitoid rocks from the southern margin of the NCC, North Qinling, South Qinling, and the northern margin of the YB that were emplaced during this interval have two-stage Hf model ages of 0.60–2.52 Ga (average 2.19 Ga), 0.90–2.66 Ga (average 1.29 Ga), 0.41–3.04 Ga (average 1.48 Ga), and 1.00–1.84 Ga (average 1.34 Ga), respectively, and mean ε_Hf(t) values of ?14.5, ?0.32, ?1.36, and ?3.98, respectively. The Hf isotope compositions of the granitoids in different tectonic units differ significantly, mirroring the diverse history of crustal growth of the four units.

The temporal and spatial distribution and Hf isotope compositions of the granitoids suggest that there was a unified geodynamic process that triggered the magmatism. Formation of the Triassic granitoid plutons at 225–205 Ma was a consequence of slab break-off or E–W-striking slab tearing, related to slab rollback in the west part of the Qinling orogen and oblique continental collision in the east. Upwelling of the asthenospheric mantle led to partial melting of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle and the lower crust, and mixing and/or mingling of the resulting magmas resulted in the formation of granitoids with diverse geological and geochemical characteristics.     

苏鲁超高压变质带的岩浆型超镁铁原岩：来自中国大陆科学钻探主孔的亏损氧同位素证据

苏鲁超高压变质带有大量的超镁铁岩体,对这些岩体的成因的研究一直是一个热点。为了鉴别这个地区有无在俯冲进变质前经历过地壳浅部地质过程的超镁铁岩,本文利用BrF5气氛中用CO2红外激光熔样和质谱测试分析方法对中国大陆科学钻探工程主孔内603．20-683．53m深度的三个石榴单辉橄榄岩样品的单矿物橄榄石、石榴石、单斜辉石的氧同位素进行了分析。橄榄石的δ^18O值为＋3．31‰＋3．82‰;石榴石的为＋4．03‰＋4．10‰;单斜辉石的δ^18O值误差较大,平均值为＋2．10‰。这些矿物的氧同位素组成总地低于典型的地幔值。研究表明,岩石单矿物低δ^18O值是侵入到地壳浅部的超镁铁岩体与寒冷大气降水热液之间的氧同位素交换反应所造成,之后发生了与地壳围岩一齐的俯冲、超高压变质、折返退变质等过程。这是苏鲁地区首次发现的低δ^18O值的岩浆侵入型超镁铁岩体,具有重要的大陆动力学意义,从超镁铁岩方面证明了苏鲁地体可能是大别地体的东延部分。     

中国大陆科学钻探主孔0-2000米超高压变质岩中有机质的检出及成因研究

前期研究表明大陆深钻孔区超高压变质岩经历了多期变质作用,岩石的峰期变质温度达680-850℃,压力高达1-3GPa,如此高温、高压,理论上已接近和超过传统意义上的石油死亡线,也就是说大陆深钻孔区超高压变质岩存在有机质的可能性比较小。然而,本课题通过排除大量钻井液、泥浆、添加剂以及样品分析等过程的污染,建立起特殊样品制备和检测方法,从大陆深钻孔区0-2000米超高压变质岩中检测到了微量可溶有机质和不可溶有机质。从而为大陆深钻孔区超高压变质岩中存在有机质提供了有力证据。本文还通过对可溶有机质、不可溶有机质的特征研究如生物标志物姥姣烷、植烷和干酪根、岩心样品的Rock-Eval热解分析和有机碳分析,以及与无机成因假说对比研究认为超高压变质岩中有机质的成因为有机成因。     

Zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotope compositions of migmatites from the North Qinling terrane and their geological implications

Migmatites are predominant in the North Qinling (NQ) orogen, but their formation ages are poorly constrained. This paper presents a combined study of cathodoluminescence imaging, U–Pb age, trace element and Hf isotopes of zircon in migmatites from the NQ unit. In the migmatites, most zircon grains occur as new, homogeneous crystals, while some are present as overgrowth rims around inherited cores. Morphological and trace element features suggest that the zircon crystals are metamorphic and formed during partial melting. The inherited cores have oscillatory zoning and yield U–Pb ages of c. 900 Ma, representing their protolith ages. The early Neoproterozoic protoliths probably formed in an active continental margin, being a response to the assembly of the supercontinent Rodinia. The migmatite zircon yields Hf model ages of 1911 ± 20 to 990 ± 22 Ma, indicating that the protoliths were derived from reworking of Palaeoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic crustal materials. The anatexis zircon yields formation ages ranging from 455 ± 5 to 420 ± 4 Ma, with a peak at c. 435 Ma. Combined with previous results, we suggest that the migmatization of the NQ terrane occurred at c. 455–400 Ma. The migmatization was c. 50 Ma later than the c. 490 Ma ultra‐high‐P (UHP) metamorphism, indicating that they occurred in two independent tectonic events. By contrast, the migmatization was coeval with the granulite facies metamorphism and the granitic magmatism in the NQ unit, which collectively argue for their formation due to the northward subduction of the Shangdan Ocean. UHP rocks were distributed mainly along the northern margin and occasionally in the inner part of the NQ unit, indicating that they were exhumed along the northern edge and detached from the basement by the subsequent migmatization process.     

Petrogenesis of metatexite and diatexite migmatites determined using zircon U–Pb age,trace element and Hf isotope data,Higo metamorphic terrane,central Kyushu,Japan

Metatexite and diatexite migmatites are widely distributed within the upper amphibolite and granulite facies zones of the Higo low‐P/high‐T metamorphic terrane. Here, we report data from an outcrop in the highest grade part of the granulite facies zone, in which diatexite occurs as a 3 m thick layer between 2 m thick layers of stromatic‐structured metatexite within pelitic gneiss. The migmatites and gneiss contain the same peak mineral assemblage of biotite + plagioclase + quartz + garnet + K‐feldspar with retrograde chlorite ± muscovite and some accessory minerals of ilmenite ± rutile ± titanite + apatite + zircon + monazite ± pyrite ± zinc sulphide ± calcite. Calculated metamorphic P–T conditions are 800–900 °C and 9–12 kbar. Zircon in the diatexite forms elongate euhedral crystals with oscillatory zoning, but no core–rim structure. Zircon from the gneiss and metatexite forms euhedral–subhedral grains comprising inherited cores overgrown by thin rims. The overgrowth rims in the metatexite have lower Th/U ratios than zircon in the diatexite and yield a ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 116.0 ± 1.6 Ma, which is older than the 110.1 ± 0.6 Ma ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age derived from zircon in the diatexite. Zircon from the diatexite has variable REE contents with convex upward patterns and flat normalized HREE, whereas the overgrowth rims in the metatexite and gneiss have steep HREE‐enriched patterns; however, both types have similar positive Ce and negative Eu anomalies. ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios in the overgrowth rims from the metatexite are more variable and generally lower than values from zircon in the diatexite. Based on U–Pb ages, trace element and Hf isotope data, the zircon rims in the metatexite are interpreted to have crystallized from a locally derived melt, following partial dissolution of inherited protolith zircon during anatexis, whereas the zircon in the diatexite is interpreted to have crystallized from a melt that included an externally derived component. By integrating zircon and petrographic data for the migmatites and pelitic gneiss, the metatexite migmatite is interpreted to have formed by in situ partial melting in which the melt did not migrate from the source, whereas the diatexite migmatite included an externally derived juvenile component. The Cretaceous high‐temperature metamorphism of the Higo metamorphic terrane is interpreted to reflect emplacement of mantle‐derived basalts under a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of the Eurasian continent and advection of heat via hybrid silicic melts from the lower crust. Post‐peak crystallization of anatectic melts in a high‐T region at mid‐crustal depths occurred in the interval c. 116–110 Ma, as indicated by the difference in zircon ages from the metatexite and diatexite migmatites.

桃子窝锡矿位于莲花山断裂带西段,是典型的火山-次火山岩型锡矿。本文以桃子窝锡矿赋矿火山-次火山岩及花岗岩为研究对象,首次开展LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年和Hf同位素特征研究。获得两个次火山岩样品的锆石206Pb/238 U加权平均年龄为172.1±1.1 Ma和171.8±0.9 Ma,一个花岗岩样品的锆石206 Pb/238 U加权平均年龄为168.9±1.5 Ma,表明桃子窝锡矿火山-侵入岩为中侏罗世同一岩浆事件不同阶段的产物。锆石εHf(t)值大多数为负值,只有3个点的值大于0,变化于-13.96~9.53之间,平均值为-7.92。在εHf(t)-t图解上,εHf(t)值大多落在球粒陨石演化线之下,有3个点落在球粒陨石与亏损地幔演化线之间。二阶段模式年龄除3个点介于609.6~795.5 Ma外,其余点年龄为1 450.8~2 102.5 Ma,Hf同位素特征指示成岩物质主要来源于早中元古代古老地壳的部分熔融,还有新元古代新生地壳物质的加入。结合区内已有的研究成果,认为桃子窝锡矿及有关的火山-次火山岩与中生代太平洋板块向欧亚大陆俯冲有关。     

西准噶尔谢米斯台山中段I型花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素、地球化学特征及构造意义

在西准噶尔谢米斯台中段吉根泰一带原华里西中期花岗岩中解体出一套晚泥盆世花岗岩,LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为364.0±6.0Ma,为该地区首次发现的晚泥盆世花岗岩。岩性为含角闪石石英二长岩和含角闪石二长闪长岩,岩石具有较低的TiO₂含量（0.49%~0.54%）和较高的Al₂O₃含量（16.09%~16.74%）,全碱含量较高（7.07%~8.52%）,且具有富钠的特征;稀土元素配分曲线呈先陡后缓的右倾式,富集大离子亲石元素Ba、K、Sr和高场强元素Zr、Hf、Sm,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti。岩石具有正的ε_Hf（t）值（6.09~12.91）。岩石地球化学和矿物学特征表明,岩体为岛弧型I型花岗岩,可能来源于俯冲板片与岛弧底部岩石圈之间剪切带物质的部分熔融,并在上升过程中受到上地壳的混染。该地区晚泥盆世岛弧型I型花岗岩的发现,将前人认为的该区域古生代以来洋盆阶段、俯冲增生阶段和后碰撞3个阶段在时间上有序衔接。
