北秦岭高压-超高压岩石的时空分布、P-T-t演化及其形成机制

北秦岭构造带早古生代的构造格局和演化过程一直是地学界比较关注也是存在较大争议的问题之一.在已有研究基础上,系统总结了本课题组近年来在北秦岭早古生代高压-超高压变质作用研究方面的进展,从变质作用角度对北秦岭早古生代的构造演化提供重要限定.丹凤斜长角闪岩中柯石英的发现为区内超高压变质作用的存在提供了最直接的矿物学证据;东秦岭秦岭杂岩中的斜长角闪岩普遍经历了高压-超高压榴辉岩相变质,具面状分布的特征,是陆壳俯冲/深俯冲作用的产物;高压-超高压榴辉岩和围岩片麻岩都记录了顺时针的P-T-t轨迹,峰期变质时代为500~490 Ma,之后主体又经历约470~450 Ma和约420~400 Ma两期抬升退变质叠加和部分熔融作用;高压-超高压岩石两期退变质和部分熔融发生的时代与北秦岭460~440Ma和~420Ma的两期岩浆事件的时代一致,说明北秦岭早古生代岩浆作用是深俯冲陆壳板片断离和碰撞造山结束后地壳伸展作用的岩浆响应;高压-超高压榴辉岩原岩形成时代约800 Ma,具有与南秦岭新元古代中晚期岩浆岩一致的地球化学特征,北秦岭超高压岩石的形成可能是商丹洋关闭后洋壳拖曳着南秦岭陆壳物质向北发生大陆深俯冲的结果,商丹洋在500 Ma主体应该已经关闭;秦岭岩群是部分而不是整体经历了大陆的深俯冲,现今的秦岭岩群是一个俯冲碰撞杂岩带而不是一个岩石地层单元或微陆块;北秦岭早古生代造山作用在中泥盆世已经结束,整体处于构造隆升后的剥蚀阶段,是南秦岭刘岭群碎屑岩的主要蚀源区,刘岭群沉积盆地形成于碰撞造山后的伸展构造背景而非弧前环境.      

北秦岭构造带与华北板块关系探讨: 来自宽坪杂岩变碎屑岩锆石U-Pb年代学与变质作用证据

宽坪杂岩是连接北秦岭构造带和华北板块的重要岩石-构造单元之一,其物质组成和变质变形特征可为探讨北秦岭构造带与华北板块构造关系及演化提供重要证据。本文在已有研究基础上,对宝鸡-眉县-洛南一带宽坪变碎屑岩进行了系统的岩石学、矿物学和碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学研究。结果表明,宽坪碎屑岩最年轻碎屑锆石年龄峰值为~550Ma,最主要碎屑锆石年龄集中区为~2.5Ga和1.0~0.9Ga,次要年龄集中区为1.3~1.0Ga和850~750Ma。通过与周缘可能物源区的年代学特征对比揭示,宽坪碎屑岩物源主要来自北秦岭新元古代花岗岩与秦岭岩群副片麻岩,部分来自南秦岭和扬子板块北缘新元古代花岗岩以及太古宙基底岩系,缺乏华北板块物质;宽坪碎屑岩的碎屑锆石年龄谱特征与南侧的二郎坪碎屑岩近乎一致,暗示两者可能形成于同一沉积盆地。相平衡模拟结果显示,洛南红土岭宽坪杂岩含石榴子石石英片岩记录了顺时针P-T演化轨迹,峰期变质条件为P=7.17~7.92kbar,T=557~563℃,形成于大陆碰撞过程。结合前人报道宽坪杂岩~440Ma的变质年龄,我们认为在早志留世时期宽坪和二郎坪沉积盆地闭合,北秦岭构造带与华北板块碰撞形成现今的构造格局,在此之前北秦岭构造带与华北板块不具有亲缘性。

     

柴达木和欧龙布鲁克陆块基底的组成和变质作用及中国中西部古大陆演化关系初探

中国西部的柴达木陆块和欧龙布鲁克陆块的基底岩系虽然在地球化学上与扬子陆块具有亲缘性,但它们之间的组成和变质作用历史却显著不同。欧龙布鲁克陆块下部基底德令哈杂岩和达肯大坂岩群于~1.95Ga发生了角闪岩相-麻粒岩相区域变质作用并克拉通化,响应了全球Columbia超大陆汇聚事件;随后又与中元古代万洞沟岩群一道于~1.0Ga发生绿片岩相变质作用,共同响应了全球Rodinia超大陆汇聚事件;新元古代中晚期裂解后于中奥陶纪受原特提斯洋关闭影响而隆起。柴达木陆块基底主体由中元古代金水口岩群白沙河岩组(柴南缘)和沙柳河岩群乌龙滩岩组(柴北缘)组成,以S-型花岗岩的侵入活动和相应的变质作用响应了全球Rodinia超大陆汇聚事件。晚泛非期(520~480Ma)柴达木陆块与冈瓦纳主大陆俯冲碰撞,发生中压角闪岩相-麻粒岩相和高压超高压变质作用,经短暂拼贴后很快进入到原特提斯洋域,随460~420Ma的大洋关闭而发生变质叠加。区域对比表明,在基底组成和地壳演化史上,欧龙布鲁克陆块与阿拉善陆块和塔里木陆块(包括扬子陆块)相似,柴达木陆块则与北秦岭陆块以及祁连陆块相似,因而分属两个陆块群。塔—欧陆块群记录的~500Ma热事件与塔—欧和柴—秦陆块群共同记录的~450Ma热事件是两个性质不同的构造热事件。     

北秦岭高压-超高压岩石的多期变质时代及其地质意义

在岩相学观察和锆石CL图像研究的基础上,利用LA-ICP-MS原位微区定年分析方法,本文确定北秦岭清油河退变榴辉岩的峰期变质时代为490±6Ma,退变质时代为453±9Ma,原岩形成时代为655±9Ma;松树沟超高压长英质片麻岩的峰期变质时代为497±8Ma,两期退变质时代分别为448±4Ma和421±2Ma,原岩形成时代上限832±25Ma;寨根石榴石辉石岩的峰期变质时代为498±2Ma,中压麻粒岩相退变质时代为450±3Ma,角闪岩相退变质时代为426±1Ma,原岩形成时代为573±40Ma;西峡北榴闪岩的角闪岩相变质时代为423±3Ma,原岩形成时代为843±7Ma。新确定的这些岩石的峰期变质时代与前人已报导的区内高压-超高压岩石的峰期变质时代在误差范围内基本一致,结合区内高压-超高压岩石不仅分布在秦岭岩群北缘的官坡-双槐树一带,而且断续出露在秦岭岩群中部或偏南侧的清油河北-松树沟-寨根北甚至西峡北东西一线,进一步表明它们应是同一期构造地质事件的产物。北秦岭已发现的全部正变质的高压-超高压岩石均呈透镜体状分布在围岩片麻岩中,松树沟超高压长英质片麻岩的原岩为典型的陆壳沉积物,因此,这些高压-超高压岩石的形成可能都是陆壳俯冲-深俯冲作用的产物。结合岩相学观察、锆石CL图像和锆石U-Pb定年表明,这些高压-超高压岩石在～500Ma经历了峰期变质作用后,又分别在～450Ma和～420Ma遭受了中压麻粒岩相和或角闪岩相退变质作用的叠加,充分说明这些高压-超高压岩石经历了一个完整的由陆壳俯冲-深俯冲、之后连续两次抬升的构造演化过程。另外,本次研究新获得的这些岩石的原岩形成时代介于843±7Ma～573±40Ma之间,结合官坡榴辉岩的原岩形成时代为791～814Ma以及松树沟榴闪岩原岩时代为787±16Ma的研究,共同表明北秦岭高压-超高压岩石的原岩形成时代均为新元古代,因此,限定俯冲-深俯冲的陆壳物质应来自形成时代为新元古代的大陆地壳或地质体。结合区域地质背景和前人研究成果综合分析,本文初步认为,北秦岭高压-超高压变质岩带的形成是商丹洋向北俯冲拖曳南秦岭新元古代陆壳物质在～500Ma发生陆壳俯冲-深俯冲作用的产物,之后在～450Ma与～420Ma经历了两期抬升。     

苏鲁高压—超高压变质地体的陆—陆碰撞深俯冲剥蚀模式

中国苏鲁高压—超高压变质地体由2个不同时代的变质基底组成.南苏鲁(临沭—连云港地区)中不同类型高压—超高压变质岩石的原岩形成于由大陆玄武质岩石、辉长岩、表壳岩和花岗岩组成的被动大陆边缘拉伸构造环境.研究表明南苏鲁高压—超高压变质岩石的原岩所代表的花岗岩浆和基性岩浆作用为罗迪尼亚超大陆形成后的新元古代(780-700Ma)裂解事件的响应.北苏鲁(青岛—威海)超高压变质地区的花岗质片麻岩锆石SHRIMPU-Pb定年表明,变质基底的年龄是2400Ma(或 & 2400 Ma),并经历了1800-1700Ma和-200Ma的变质事件,研究表明苏鲁高压—超高压变质地体由2个不同时代变质基底组成,北苏鲁的变质基底属于北中国板块胶辽朝地块的一部分,形成时代比南苏鲁基底老得多,其与南苏鲁地块之间的界限位于五莲以北到海阳所以南一线.由于在北苏鲁含柯石英的透辉石石英岩锆石SHRIMPU-Pb定年获得精确超高压峰期变质年龄为(234.1±4.2)Ma,退变质年龄为(218.2±1.5)Ma,表明南、北苏鲁2个不同时代基底地块同时经历了超高压变质作用.根据上述事实,提出苏鲁高压—超高压变质地体的陆—陆碰撞俯冲剥蚀新模式,即扬子板片在240-220Ma的深俯冲作用中拽动上部胶辽朝板片的—部分老变质基底岩石向下俯冲至大于100km的深度,并形成楔形俯冲剥蚀体,之后又与南苏鲁俯冲板片一起快速折返上来。      

北秦岭造山带的早古生代多期变质作用

北秦岭造山带的秦岭岩群以高级变质岩石为特征,主要包括少量榴辉岩、高压麻粒岩和区域上广泛分布的麻粒岩-角闪岩相变质岩石。年代学研究显示秦岭岩群中不同岩石记录了多期变质作用。已有的定年资料给出北秦岭官坡地区的榴辉岩的年龄为500Ma左右,代表榴辉岩相的变质时代。结合岩相学资料,对两个高压麻粒岩样品的SHRIMP和LA-ICPMS U-Pb测定分别获得504±7Ma 和506±3Ma的年龄,应代表高压麻粒岩相变质时代。这表明高压麻粒岩和相邻的榴辉岩有相近的变质时代,但形成在造山带中不同的构热造环境中。西峡地区的角闪二辉麻粒岩的U-Pb定年给出两组早古生代年龄,一组为440±2Ma,可能代表了中低压麻粒岩相的变质时代,另一组为426±1Ma,应代表区域角闪岩相的变质时代。桐柏山北部的石榴二辉麻粒岩的U-Pb定年数据给出436±1Ma的年龄,为中压麻粒岩相的变质时代。这些资料表明北秦岭造山带经历了早奥陶世的俯冲和地壳增厚作用,并在晚志留世遭受了广泛的巴罗式区域变质作用。     

Zircon U-Pb geochronology,geochemistry and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes from the metamorphic basement in the Wuhe Complex:Implications for Neoarchean active continental margin along the southeastern North China Craton and constraints on the petrogenesis of Mesozoic g

We report zircon U-Pb geochronology,geochemistry and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope data from mafic granulites and garnet amphibolites of the Wuhe Complex in the southeastern margin of the North China Craton (NCC).In combination with previous data,our results demonstrate that these rocks represent fragments of the ancient lower crust,and have features similar to those of the granulite basement in the northern margin of the NCC.A detailed evaluation of the Pb isotope data shows that Pb isotopes cannot effectively distinguish the role of the Yangtze Craton basement from that of the NCC basement with regard to the source and generation of magmas,at least for southeastern NCC.The age data suggest that the protoliths of the granulites or amphibolites in the Wuhe Complex were most likely generated in Neoarchean and that these rocks were subjected to Paleoproterozoic(1.8-1.9 Ga) high-pressure granulite facies metamorphism. This study also shows that the Precambrian metamorphic basement in the southeastern margin of the NCC might have formed in a tectonic setting characterized by a late Neoarchean active continental margin.

The North China Craton（NCC） has a complicated evolutionary history with multi-stage crustal growth,recording nearly all important geological events in the early geotectonic history of the Earth.Our studies propose that the NCC can be divided into six micro-blocks with ＆gt;～3.0-3.8 Ga old continental nuclei that are surrounded by Neoarchean greenstone belts（CRB）.The micro-blocks are also termed as highgrade regions（HGR） and are mainly composed of orthogneisses with minor gabbros and BIF-bearing supracrustal beds or lenses,all of which underwent strong deformation and metamorphism of granulite- to high-grade amphibolite-facies.The micro-blocks are,in turn,from east to west,the Jiaoliao（JL）,Qianhuai（QH）,Ordos（ODS）,Ji’ning（JN） and Alashan（ALS） blocks,and Xuchang（XCH） in the south.Recent studies led to a consensus that the basement of the NCC was composed of different blocks/terranes that were finally amalgamated to form a coherent craton at the end of Neoarchean.Zircon U-Pb data show that TTG gneisses in the HGRs have two prominent age peaks at ca.2.9-2.7 and2.6-2.5 Ga which may correspond to the earliest events of major crustal growth in the NCC.Hafnium isotopic model ages range from ca.3.8 to 2.5 Ga and mostly are in the range of 3.0-2.6 Ga with a peak at2.82 Ga.Recent studies revealed a much larger volume of TTG gneisses in the NCC than previously considered,with a dominant ca.2.7 Ga magmatic zircon ages.Most of the ca.2.7 Ga TTG gneisses underwent metamorphism in 2.6-2.5 Ga as indicated by ubiquitous metamorphic rims around the cores of magmatic zircon in these rocks.Abundant ca.2.6-2.5 Ga orthogneisses have Hf-in-zircon and Nd wholerock model ages mostly around 2.9-2.7 Ga and some around 2.6-2.5 Ga,indicating the timing of protolith formation or extraction of the protolith magma was from the mantle.Therefore,it is suggested that the 2.6-2.5 Ga TTGs probably represent a coherent event of continental accretion and major reworking（crustal melting）.As a distinct characte     

Permian age of the Wudaogou Group in eastern Yanbian: detrital zircon U–Pb constraints on the closure of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean in Northeast China

The Wudaogou Group in eastern Yanbian, Northeast China, plays a key role in constraining the timing and eastward termination of the Solonker–Xra Moron River–Changchun Suture, where the Palaeo-Asian Ocean closed. The Wudaogou Group consists of schist, gneiss, amphibolite, metasedimentary, and metavolcanic rocks, all of which underwent greenschist- to epidote–amphibolite-facies regional metamorphism, with some hornfels resulting from contact metamorphism. To determine the age of deposition, the timing and grade of metamorphism, and the tectonic setting of the Wudaogou Group, we investigated the petrography and geochronology of the metamorphic rocks in this group. Zircons from the metasedimentary rocks of this group can be divided into metamorphic zircons and detrital zircons of magmatic origin. U–Pb ages of metamorphic zircons dated by LA-ICP-MS vary from 249 ± 4 to 266 ± 4 Ma, approximating the age of regional metamorphism in the eastern Yanbian area. Detrital zircons yield U–Pb ages ranging from 253 ± 5 to 818 ± 5 Ma, and indicate that the provenance of the Wudaogou Group experienced four tectonic–thermal events between 818 and 253 Ma: Neoproterozoic (ca. 818–580 Ma), Cambro–Ordovician (ca. 500–489 Ma), Devonian–Carboniferous (ca. 422–300 Ma), and middle–late Permian (ca. 269–253 Ma). The youngest detrital zircon, with a U–Pb age of 253 ± 5 Ma, defines the maximum depositional age of the Wudaogou Group. The presence of the Cambro-Ordovician and Neoproterozoic detrital zircons implies that the source of the Wudaogou Group had an affinity with Northeast China, which leads us to conclude that the Solonker–Xra Moron River–Changchun Suture extends from Wangqing to Hunchun in eastern Yanbian, and that the Palaeo-Asian Ocean may have closed at the end of the Permian or Early Triassic period.     

中国东北麻山杂岩晚泛非期变质的锆石SHRIMP年龄证据及全球大陆再造意义

中国东北地区佳木斯地块南部麻山杂岩正、副片麻岩 7个样品的锆石 SHRIMP年龄数据首次明确地表明 ,东北地区存在 500 Ma的晚泛非期高级变质作用事件。峰期麻粒岩相变质导致柳毛地区 (502± 10)Ma (2σ )深熔花岗岩的形成。正、副片麻岩变质年龄的一致性表明它们已在变质前发生了构造叠置。西麻山副片麻岩中含有在后期麻粒岩相变质过程中未重结晶的碎屑锆石，由此形成从协和一致的 550 Ma到弱不一致 1 900 Ma的较大 207Pb/206Pb年龄变化范围，表明其原岩具有从新元古代到中元古代-古元古代的年龄。柳毛地区变质的片麻状闪长岩中所含的古老锆石的 207Pb/206Pb年龄为 546～ 1 460 Ma表明，该闪长岩大约在 1 400 Ma就位，并受到 500 Ma变质事件的影响，从而说明柳毛地区存在中元古代基底。然而，与以前的认识相反，麻山杂岩不存在具有太古宙基底的同位素证据。晚泛非期变质事件年龄的确定对重塑晚前寒武纪-显生宙早期麻山杂岩和佳木斯地块的古地理位置具有重要意义。根据目前获得的有关证据，认为佳木斯地块可能曾经位于冈瓦纳大陆北缘的华北克拉通附近。     

前寒武纪重大地质事件

本文概括性地阐述我国前寒武纪冥古宙、太古宙、元古宙三大地史阶段的重大地质事件,粗略勾绘前寒武纪地球演化的轨迹,期望了解我国与全球变化的异同,进一步突出我国前寒武纪三大地史阶段中新太古代超级地质事件及元古宙时期中国大陆块体对哥伦比亚及罗迪尼亚两个超大陆形成与破裂的地质响应。冥古宙是地球最早期的地史阶段,从太阳系形成的4 567 Ma至地球上最老的4 030 Ma的Acasta片麻杂岩。碎屑锆石保存最好的地点是西澳的Mt. Narryer和Jack Hills。目前在中国大陆至少有7个地点发现具有罕见的约4.0 Ga的碎屑锆石,这些地点并不位于克拉通区,而是赋存于造山系新元古代至古生代以碎屑岩为主的地层中。太古宙(4 030~2 420 Ma)定义为从最古老的岩石出现(4 030 Ma Acasta片麻岩)至冰碛层首次广泛分布的寒冷期之间的一段地史。最古老的岩石为英云闪长片麻岩,构成加拿大西北斯拉夫克拉通4.03~3.94 Ga Acasta片麻岩的一部分。西南格陵兰Isua带保存全球有最老的表壳岩,形成于3 810 Ma。太古宙最重大的地质事件莫过于2 780~2 420 Ma时期的新太古代超级事件。值得指出的是华北克拉通最古老、也是中国最古老的岩石出露在中国辽宁鞍山地区,约3.80 Ga英云闪长岩奧长花岗质片麻岩和3.30 Ga的表壳岩已被识别。华北克拉通太古宙有与世界各地太古宙相似的演化历史和特点,包括花岗岩绿岩带及高级变质片麻岩带、广泛的英云闪长岩奧长花岗岩花岗闪长岩(TTG)片麻岩、古陆壳的出露(略老于3.8 Ga)、广泛分布的BIF等。我国太古宙花岗岩绿岩带虽然在华北克拉通分布较广,但与南非、格陵兰、加拿大、西澳等地经典的花岗岩绿岩带相比,时代偏新,仅以新太古代为主,规模偏小,缺少大面积分布的科马提岩,且变质程度偏高,主要为角闪岩相麻粒岩相变质。演化到元古宙(2 420~541 Ma),则进入成熟的、较冷的、刚性程度较高的地球,以现代样式板块构造、超大陆旋回和更复杂的疑源类(eukaryotic)生命的发育为特征。这种变化大致出现在2 420 Ma左右,与哈默斯利型BIF的消失及地史中首次广泛出现的冰川沉积物年代相近。古元古代早期十分重要的“休伦冰川事件”、指示大氧化事件的古老红层在我国尚未被发现,与Lomagundi Jatuli (LJE) δ13C的同位素漂移有关的关门山组古元古代沉积地层的同位素年代学依据不足;古元古代磷矿和具有巨大石油潜力的2.01 Ga Shunga事件也未能鉴别。但中国最大特色是发育了与哥伦比亚和罗迪尼亚超大陆汇聚与裂解有关的良好地质记录,特别是华北克拉通保存了古元古代与哥伦比亚超大陆汇聚有关的超高温、高压麻粒岩等变质及岩浆事件,1 780 Ma以后的中元古代又保存了与哥伦比亚超大陆裂解有关的裂谷沉积及岩浆活动;而在扬子和塔里木陆块区则保存了与新元古代早期与罗迪尼亚超大陆汇聚有关的蛇绿岩、混杂岩、洋内弧、俯冲增生杂岩及大陆边缘弧,在约800 Ma以后则发育了与罗迪尼亚超大陆裂解有关的沉积及岩浆活动的地质记录,为中国和全球地质学者研究这一时期地球系统变化和成矿作用提供了客观的野外实验室和良好的范例。     

北秦岭松树沟榴辉岩的确定及其地质意义

松树沟石榴石角闪岩(榴闪岩)呈透镜状产于松树沟超镁铁岩旁侧的斜长角闪岩中,一直以来被认为是形成于接触交代变质或麻粒岩相变质过程。详细岩相学及矿物元素分析,在榴闪岩的基质矿物、石榴石幔部及锆石包体中发现残留的绿辉石,而且石榴石也保存了明显的进变质主、微量元素成分环带,表明松树沟榴闪岩为榴辉岩退变质的产物,至少经历了从角闪岩相到榴辉岩相再到角闪岩相的三阶段顺时针PT演化过程。锆石定年结果得到榴辉岩的变质年龄为500±8Ma,原岩结晶时代为796±16Ma,与秦岭岩群北侧官坡超高压榴辉岩的变质年龄和原岩年龄完全一致,也与北秦岭区域高压-超高压变质时代和原岩的结晶时代一致。表明松树沟榴辉岩与北秦岭造山带已发现的高压-超高压变质岩石一起都应是古生代大陆深俯冲作用的结果,而松树沟超镁铁岩可能是俯冲的大陆板片在折返过程中携带的俯冲隧道中的交代地幔岩。     

华北克拉通南缘栾川群大红口组形成时代及其对新元古代构造演化的制约

华北克拉通南缘豫西地区保存有较为完整的变质结晶基底和中-新元古代沉积盖层,记录了重要的前寒武纪构造演化信息。近年来的年龄研究结果表明原认为是中-新元古代的汝阳群-洛峪群可能形成于中元古代早期(1. 75～1. 60Ga),而沿着华北克拉通南缘与秦岭造山带的拼合带(洛南-栾川断裂带)分布的新元古代盖层(主要为栾川群)的形成时代尚不明确。华北南缘新元古代栾川群主要由大理岩、片岩、千枚岩和碱性火山岩组成,其上部大红口组火山岩以碱性粗面质岩石为主,高硅富钾,与侵入到栾川群中下部的辉长岩构成典型的双峰式岩石组合。栾川群大红口组三个粗面岩样品的锆石U-Pb年龄分别为840±4Ma、845±5Ma和846±6Ma,结合已有的栾川群下伏地层最年轻的碎屑锆石年龄结果(～1000Ma),限定栾川群归属于新元古代早期(1000～840Ma)。大红口组岩浆岩的岩石组合和地球化学特征表明其形成于板内裂谷环境,根据区域构造资料以及前人的研究成果,栾川群火山岩与北秦岭同时期的岩浆活动共同指示了华北南缘与北秦岭在～845Ma均处于板内拉张阶段。     

柴北缘HP-UHP变质带多期构造热事件的再厘定:鱼卡地区高压变泥质岩锆石和独居石U-Pb定年

柴北缘高压-超高压变质带西段鱼卡地区变泥质岩中夹有榴辉岩透镜体,已有的研究显示变泥质岩的变质程度也达到了榴辉岩相,并与榴辉岩一起经历了高压-超高压变质作用,是柴北缘曾经历早古生代大陆深俯冲作用的直接证据,也是研究柴北缘大陆深俯冲过程重要的岩石"探针"。本文选择柴北缘西段鱼卡超高压变质单元中的3件蓝晶石榴白云母石英片岩HP变泥质岩样品分别进行了SHRIMP、LA-ICP-MS锆石和原位独居石U-Pb定年。样品Q06-1-2的锆石给出了920±18Ma(MSWD=1.3)的加权平均年龄,其CL图像特征和极低的Th/U比显示其为变质年龄,代表了与罗迪尼亚超大陆碰撞拼合相关的变质事件。样品A03-11-2.2的锆石给出了450±7Ma(MSWD=0.2)的年龄,认为其代表变泥质岩的榴辉岩相变质年龄。样品A03-14-11的薄片原位独居石定年给出了439±8Ma(MSWD=0.072)的加权平均年龄,结合岩相学观察,认为其可能为榴辉岩相峰期之后的早期退变质年龄。这些资料显示柴北缘鱼卡地区早古生代大陆深俯冲的时限为440~450Ma。结合已有研究资料,鱼卡高压变泥质岩记录了新元古代早期和早古生代两期变质事件,进一步证明了柴北缘地区经历了格林威尔期和早古生代两期造山事件     

华北克拉通古元古代末-新元古代地质事件——来自北京西山地区寒武系和侏罗系碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb年代学的证据

华北克拉通是否同华南克拉通一样保存有与Rodinia超大陆聚合和裂解有关的年龄记录是理解华北克拉通元古宙构造演化的重要科学问题.本文对位于华北克拉通燕辽裂陷槽的北京西山地区的寒武系和侏罗系碎屑岩进行锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究,目的是通过碎屑锆石年龄揭示华北克拉通前寒武纪尤其是古元古代末-新元古代重要地质事件.定年结果显示,北京西山寒武系徐庄组的钙质细砂岩中碎屑锆石年龄峰值主要集中在～1.38Ga和～1.14Ga.此外,还有～ 1.56Ga、～912Ma、～814Ma、～740Ma、～630Ma和～507Ma的年龄组.侏罗系窑坡组长石质岩屑细砂岩和粉砂质泥岩中碎屑锆石年龄峰值主要集中在～2.5Ga、1.88～1.8Ga、～1.74Ga、～1.6Ga和186Ma.此外,还有～2.77Ga、～2.0Ga、～1.2Ga、～488Ma、～256Ma和～233 Ma的年龄组.这三个岩石具有较低的成分和结构成熟度,指示较近的物源区,其碎屑物质可能大部分来自华北克拉通内部和北缘,因此其碎屑锆石的年龄组可记录华北克拉通前寒武纪重要地质事件.～2.77Ga、～2.5Ga、2.1～ 2.0Ga和1.88～1.8Ga的年龄组分别对应华北克拉通早前寒武纪发生地壳生长、克拉通化、裂谷和造山等重要地质事件;～ 1.74Ga、～ 1.6Ga、～ 1.56Ga、～1.38Ga、～912Ma和～814Ma的年龄组记录了华北克拉通最终克拉通化后开始的古元古代末-新元古代的多期裂谷事件.与1.3～ 1.0Ga、～740Ma和～630Ma的年龄组相对应的岩石在华北克拉通出现甚少,而该时期的岩浆岩和变质岩在华南克拉通广泛发育,且可能与Rodinia超大陆汇聚和裂解的不同阶段相对应.华北克拉通显生宙碎屑岩中碎屑锆石保存的古元古代末-新元古代地质事件的记录对探讨华北克拉通在元古宙的地质演化及华北克拉通与华南克拉通的关系可提供重要的依据.     

Early Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Erguna Terrane (NE China) and its paleogeographic location in Rodinia supercontinent: Insights from magmatic and sedimentary record

Owing to the lack of early Neoproterozoic geological and geochronological data, most Rodinia supercontinent reconstruction models do not include the Amuria Block in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), and the Amuria Block was varying attributed to the North China, Siberian or Tarim tectonic affinities. In this study, we identified one early Neoproterozoic granitic pluton (964–947 Ma) and one early Neoproterozoic sedimentary unit (<906 Ma) in the Erguna Terrane. The samples (964–947 Ma) are I-type granitoids, and show high zircon in-situ ε_Hf(t) (−2.1–10.0) and whole-rock ε_Hf(t) (1.4–4.8) and high ε_Nd(t) (−2.3 to −0.8). These granitoids are characterized by high Zr saturation temperature (T_Zr) (701–835 °C) and no inherited zircons, suggesting high-degree of partial melting of their source rocks. The granites were likely formed by biotite-/muscovite dehydration melting of subalkaline mafic lower crust in a continental arc setting. Detrital zircons of the sandstone sample define an age peak at 923–906 Ma. Early Neoproterozoic age data compilation from the four Amuria microcontinents (i.e., Erguna, Xing'an, Songnen and Jiamusi terranes) in NE China indicate the presence of two major magmatic flare-ups at 964–880 Ma and 850–740 Ma. Considering that early Neoproterozoic magmatic rocks are absent in the Siberian and North China cratons but widespread in the Tarim Craton, we suggested that the Erguna Terrane was part of the Tarim Craton in the Early Neoproterozoic. The Erguna Terrane may have undergone a two-staged Neoproterozoic tectonic evolutionary history: (1) early Neoproterozoic arc accretion in response to the Rodinia assembly, and (2) middle Neoproterozoic break-away from the SW Tarim Craton associated with the Rodinia breakup.

High-pressure（HP） granulites widely occur as enclaves within tonalite-trondhjemitegranodiorite （TTG） gneisses of the Early Precambrian metamorphic basement in the Shandong Peninsula, southeast part of the North China Craton（NCC）.Based on cathodoluminescence（CL）,laser Raman spectroscopy and in-situ U-Pb dating,we characterize the zircons from the HP granulites and group them into three main types:inherited（magmatic） zircon,HP metamorphic zircon and retrograde zircon.The inherited zircons with clear or weakly defined magmatic zoning contain inclusions of apatites,and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb ages of 2915—2890 Ma and 2763—2510 Ma,correlating with two magmatic events in the Archaean basement. The homogeneous HP metamorphic zircons contain index minerals of high-pressure metamorphism including garnet,clinopyroxene.plagioclase,quartz,rutile and apatite,and yield ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb ages between 1900 and 1850 Ma,marking the timing of peak HP granulite fades metamorphism.The retrograde zircons contain inclusions of orthopyroxene.plagioclase.quartz,apatite and amphibole.and yield the youngest ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb ages of 1840—1820 Ma among the three groups,which we correlate to the medium to low-pressure granulite fades retrograde metamorphism.The data presented in this study suggest subduction of Meso- and Neoarchean magmatic protoliths to lower crust depths where they were subjected to HP granulite facies metamorphism during Palaeoproterozoic（1900—1850 Ma）.Subsequently, the HP granulites were exhumated to upper crust levels,and were overprinted by medium to low-pressure granulite and amphibolite facies retrograde event at ca.1840—820 Ma.     

鄂尔多斯盆地南缘南曹德组与庄河沟组碎屑锆石年代学及其地质意义

运用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学方法,分析探讨了鄂尔多斯盆地南缘南曹德组和庄河沟组的沉积时代、物源特征及其所处的华北(鄂尔多斯地块)与北秦岭地体之间的构造演化关系。结果表明:两件砂岩样品的碎屑锆石年龄谱基本一致,测年数据集中分布在820~995 Ma(n=13)、1041~1203 Ma(n=23)、1223~1451 Ma(n=36)、1458~1650 Ma(n=24)、1659~1935 Ma(n=39)、2017~2445 Ma(n=7)6个区间,对应的峰值年龄分别接近832Ma、1120 Ma、1330 Ma、1590 Ma、1856 Ma和2090 Ma。这与邻区经典的震旦系正目观组和罗圈组具有相似的碎屑锆石年龄谱特征,年轻主峰年龄832Ma,包含有4个820~834Ma的年轻单颗粒锆石年龄,显著有别于以往认为与之可比的研究区近邻剖面锆石U-Pb高频主峰年龄主要集中在454Ma的奥陶系平凉组,由此认为南曹德组和庄河沟组应属于新元古代晚期832Ma之后或震旦纪的沉积岩石单元。锆石U-Pb年龄谱的区域对比进一步揭示,南曹德组和庄河沟组的滨浅海沉积碎屑物源明显具有来自华北(鄂尔多斯)陆块与北秦岭(杂岩)地体的双向混合物源特征,表明华北陆块与北秦岭地体至少在832Ma之前的格林威尔晚期已经碰撞拼合为一体,随后在新元古代晚期拼合大陆边缘接受了大致与Rodinia超大陆裂解事件相当的陆缘海相碎屑岩沉积。     

华北中部造山带左权变质杂岩ca. 2.5Ga和ca. 1.9Ga变质年龄记录及其地质意义

华北克拉通早前寒武纪基底由多个微陆块组成,其主期拼合时代是困扰地质学家的一个重大课题。华北中部造山带作为新太古代-古元古代一条重要的碰撞型造山带已得到广泛共识。大量高精度年代学资料显示,华北中部造山带至少记录了大约1. 85Ga、1. 95Ga和2. 5Ga的三组变质年龄信息。但目前,2. 5Ga左右的变质年龄仅在华北中部造山带中部的阜平和赞皇等少数杂岩区有零星报道。左权变质杂岩位于华北中部造山带中南段东侧、阜平杂岩以南,向东紧邻赞皇杂岩,是洞悉早前寒武纪时期华北克拉通基底形成及演化过程的一个重要窗口。杂岩区出露多种早寒武纪变质岩石,其中长英质黑云斜长片麻岩分布范围最广,局部暗色矿物富集;斜长角闪岩或角闪片麻岩多以透镜状或似层状方式产出于长英质片麻岩中;杂岩区南部发育多个小型磁铁矿矿床。本文对研究区多种类型岩石样品进行了细致的岩相学、锆石U-Pb年代学和锆石稀土元素研究,发现多数样品中发育变质成因锆石,记录至少两组变质年龄信息。第一组年龄(1903Ma)仅被个别角闪片麻岩样品保存,反映了杂岩区所经历的变质峰期或近峰期阶段的时代;第二组年龄(2483～2507Ma)分布广泛,所代表的变质事件发生在区域片麻理之前,与华北克拉通约25亿年时发生的大规模构造热事件有关。     

Provenance of Late Carboniferous bauxite deposits in the North China Craton: New constraints on marginal arc construction and accretion processes

The North China Craton (NCC) is bounded by two Paleozoic accretionary arc terranes: the North Qinling terrane to the south and the Bainaimiao terrane to the north. The timing of arc accretion to the NCC and the architecture of the Bainaimiao arc remain unclear. During the building and accretion of the arcs along its margins, the NCC experienced a long sedimentary hiatus since the Ordovician, which ended with the deposition of bauxite-bearing sediments in the Late Carboniferous. In this paper we report the U–Pb and Hf isotopes of detrital zircons from the Late Carboniferous bauxite layer and use these data to constrain the tectonic evolution of the margin of the NCC. The detrital zircons yield a minimum U–Pb age of ca. 310 Ma and a prominent age peak at ca. 450 Ma. Zircon crystals with ages of ca. 330 Ma and ca. 1900 Ma are more common in the bauxite samples from the northern part of the NCC than in those from the central part. The εHf(t) values of the ca. 450 Ma detrital zircon crystals of the bauxite samples from the NCC are similar to those of the contemporaneous detrital zircon crystals from the North Qinling arc terrane to the south, but different from those of the contemporaneous detrital zircon crystals from the Bainaimiao arc terrane to the north. The ca. 450 Ma detrital zircon crystals in the ca. 310 Ma bauxite deposits are therefore interpreted to have been derived from the North Qinling arc terrane. The source of the ca. 330 Ma detrital zircon crystals of the bauxite deposits is interpreted to be the northern margin of the NCC, where intermediate-felsic plutons formed at ca. 330 Ma are common. The results from this study support the interpretation that the Paleozoic continental arc terranes and their concomitant back-arc basins were developed along the margins of the NCC before ca. 450 Ma, and the arc complexes were subsequently accreted to the craton in the Late Carboniferous. This was then followed by the formation of a walled continental basin within the NCC.
