变泥质岩递进部分熔融作用的构造物理学效应

在南内华达岩基中,晚中生代花岗岩的侵位导致表壳岩广泛的变质及部分熔融,形成混合岩杂岩体。对伊萨贝拉湖南羊圈混合岩杂岩体构造的野外观测和应变测量表明：①变泥质混合岩和鹅卵石砾岩记录了类似强度的应变;②变泥质岩发生了递进部分熔融,表现为离羊圈花岗闪长岩岩体的距离越远,部分熔融程度越低;③随部分熔融程度的变化,变泥质岩的应变承载构造也逐渐从混合岩带的弱相承载构造（IWL）往强相承载构造（LBF）过渡;④在同岩浆构造作用中,浅色体的流变学性质与鹅卵石砾岩中泥质组分相当,为应变的主要承载体。该结果表明：在高级变质岩区中,部分熔融程度是否足够高及熔体能否形成互相链接的网络,是高级变质岩的流变学强度发生突降、深部岩石发生侧向流动的前提。     

金红石-榍石转变过程中元素地球化学行为——以雅鲁藏布江缝合带角闪岩为例

金红石边缘形成榍石冠状边结构在变质中-基性岩中普遍存在,是金红石与退变质流体携带的SiO_2与CaO作用的结果,反应形成的榍石微量元素特征受到金红石和流体的共同影响。雅鲁藏布江缝合带中角闪岩LZ06-04在抬升过程经历近等温降压退变质作用,石榴子石分解导致同一样品中含石榴子石部分与不含石榴子石部分的退变质流体成分的差异。两种流体分别与金红石反应,对应形成的榍石具有相似的Nb、Ta含量和Nb/Ta比值特征,但截然不同的REE特征。榍石的Nb、Ta来源于金红石,残余金红石与含水流体再平衡Nb、Ta的分配系数增大,且D_(Nb)~(Rt/Fluid)≥D_(Ta)~(Rt/Fluid);虽然Nb和Ta在含水流体中都表现为不活动元素,但相对于Nb,Ta在含水流体中活动性较高。榍石的Zr-Hf体系特征受到锆石、石榴子石等矿物的综合影响,并且Zr-Hf在含水流体中表现出比Nb-Ta更高的活动性。榍石的REE特征受流体中REE特征、榍石与流体配分系数以及共生矿物的影响。在岩浆或变质体系,榍石形成过程中,REE富集矿物(如石榴子石、锆石、褐帘石、独居石、磷灰石等)形成或分解将影响榍石的REE分布特征或形成REE环带结构。含水流体中金红石退变质形成榍石反应的进行受流体中TiO_2、CaO和SiO_2活度的影响。因此榍石常见于钙碱性岩浆岩、富Ca基性变质岩和矽卡岩中。流体中CaO活度的变化影响榍石的形成,进而影响Ti、Nb、Ta在流体中的运移能力。俯冲板片产生流体在交代上覆富Ca地幔楔物质过程中形成榍石残留同样可以造成部分熔融体具有亏损HFSE特征。     

深俯冲陆壳部分熔融初始熔体的厘定:来自苏鲁超高压地体混合岩中浅色体证据

深俯冲陆壳物质部分熔融产生的熔体,实验岩石学方面已有广泛报道,而天然初始熔体的组分却难以厘定。对此,本文从苏鲁超高压地体荣成混合岩中识别出了深俯冲花岗质陆壳部分熔融产生的天然初始熔体组成。野外露头显示,混合岩中主要矿物组成为钾长石+斜长石+石英的浅色熔体呈不连续的条带状与残余体互层产出,指示了原位或近源区的部分熔融特征。混合岩浅色体锆石CL图像呈明显的核-边结构,继承核部为扬子板块来源的岩浆锆石,形成时代为721±24Ma;新生边部CL图像具震荡环带结构,微量元素上REE呈明显左倾,具有Eu的负异常及Ce的正异常,低的Hf/Y和Th/U比值,具深熔锆石特征,指示形成于花岗质陆壳物质的部分熔融。边部U-Pb谐和年龄为225.9±2Ma,略晚于苏鲁超高压地体超高压峰期变质年龄,表明初始熔融发生在超高压地体折返早期。浅色熔体的全岩地球化学特征表明,主量元素上具有高SiO_2、K_2O及Na_2O含量,低的Fe_2O_3~T、MgO及CaO含量,A/CNK=1.02~1.04,呈弱过铝质亚碱性花岗岩的特征,这与实验岩石学中富硅陆壳物质部分熔融产生的熔体组分极为相近;微量元素上富集大离子亲石元素(如Rb、Ba、Pb等),亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素,REE呈较为平坦的配分模式,具弱的Eu负异常并亏损Sr。本文通过上述对天然样品研究,厘定了深俯冲花岗质陆壳部分熔融及其初始熔体的组成,为理解大陆俯冲带壳幔相互作用提供了关键依据。     

湖南铜山岭花岗闪长岩中榍石微区原位Nd同位素和微量元素组成及其岩石成因的指示意义

与热液矿床形成有关的花岗质岩石普遍遭受热液蚀变,且全岩成分仅代表均一化某一时间点的信息,采用全岩成分分析难以有效地揭示花岗质岩石的形成与演化。花岗质岩石中副矿物稳定不容易蚀变,近年原位测试技术的快速发展和日趋成熟,可以准确获取副矿物原位元素和同位素组成,通过副矿物元素和同位素组成可以有效地揭示岩浆来源和演化信息,显著提高了岩浆作用过程的空间分辨率,成为探讨岩石成因的新手段。本文以湘南与铜铅锌多金属成矿密切相关的铜山岭岩体为研究对象,利用电子探针(EPMA)、激光剥蚀等离子体质谱(LA-ICP-MS)和激光剥蚀多接收等离子体质谱(LA-MC-ICP-MS)等原位测试技术,对花岗闪长岩和暗色包体两类岩石样品中的副矿物榍石开展了原位元素和Nd同位素分析。结果表明：所有榍石中Al+Fe与Ti具有明显的负相关关系且稀土元素含量较高,稀土元素与Al和Fe一起主要通过(Al, Fe³⁺)+REE=Ti⁴⁺+O^2-方式替换榍石的Ti位和Ca位而进入晶格。球粒陨石标准化稀土配分模式上,大部分榍石显示Eu正异常。榍石中微量元素对Zr/Hf、...

报道了大别超高压变质带西部麻城四道河榴辉岩-围岩剖面系统的元素和同位素地球化学研究成果, 对超高压变质榴辉岩在俯冲和折返过程中的部分熔融作用进行了探讨. 研究表明, 榴辉岩原岩性质类似于N-MORB, 其长英质围岩可分为TTG片麻岩和含石榴石花岗岩; 两类长英质围岩Sm -Nd同位素特征与其寄主的榴辉岩相似; REE特征、w (Nb)/w (Ta) 比值、Nd同位素组成及锆石U -Pb定年等地球化学证据支持了TTG片麻岩为大别地区陆壳俯冲过程中发生部分熔融作用而形成, 其与超高压榴辉岩的关系属特殊的异地关系; 含榴花岗岩为超高压榴辉岩折返过程中的部分熔融作用形成, 但因其形成环境为石榴石稳定场的深度, 故含榴花岗岩与超高压榴辉岩被视为近似原地的构造关系.      

岩石部分熔融过程中熔体连通性的实验研究——以850～1100 ℃,2.0～4.0 GPa条件下斜长角闪岩部分熔融为例

岩石脱水熔融是地壳深熔的主要机制,部分熔融形成的熔体经过分凝、运移、聚集和侵位等过程最终形成岩浆.熔体的连通是熔体聚集和迁移的必要条件,岩石的物理性质,比如弹性、电性等明显受到熔体连通性的制约.因此,研究熔体分布对于理解深部地质作用,合理解释地球物理资料具有特殊的意义,熔体的连通性研究已经备受地质学家的关注.     

低级变质岩在热液蚀变过程中的微量元素地球化学行为——以赣东北银山地区双桥山群为例

对江西银山地区双桥山群绢云母千枚岩及其原岩的稀土及微量元素的研究表明，热液蚀变过程中它们的地球化学行为十分复杂：热兴蚀变作用并不使REE淋滤降低，反而导致∑REE较其原岩普遍升高，但岩体接触带附近蚀为围岩的∑REE则低于原岩。蚀变岩出现Eu亏损，∑LREE／∑HREE值降低。定量计算显示，∑REE总升幅中有29％－45％是由围岩质量迁移引起的表观浓缩效应，而另外的55％－71％则是流体带入了REE；在绢云母千格岩中娟云母可能是REE的主要寄主矿物相，REE主要以吸附作用的形式固有在矿物的表面或含有可交换电价的晶体结构层（四面体层和八面体层）的层面上；参与蚀为变作用的热液∑LREE／∑HREE值低、Eu强正异常。流体REE的带入可能是造成蚀为围岩较原岩轻重稀土比值降低的主要因素。热液蚀变作用使岩石的Eu被还原成更易活动的Eu^2 而活化迁出，导致蚀变岩的Eu负异常更显著；围岩蚀变作用凌其聪等：低级变质岩在热液蚀为过程中的微量元素地球化学行为－－以赣 东银山地区双桥山群为例。     

含钙铝榴石的葡萄石—绿纤石相平衡：以新疆萨尔托海蛇绿岩中变基性岩石为例

利用矿物内部一致性热力学数据,建立了在ＣａＯ－Ａｌ２Ｏ３－ＭｇＯ－ＳｉＯ２－Ｈ２Ｏ体系中含钙铝榴石的葡萄石－绿纤石变质相平衡,确立了在葡萄石－绿纤石－钙铝榴石－绿帘石－绿泥石－石英组合中出现绿纤石－钙铝榴石共生、葡萄石－绿纤石共生、葡萄石－绿帘石共生和绿泥石－绿帘石－钙铝榴石共生的ＰＴ区间及其意义。根据该相平衡计算了新疆萨尔托海蛇绿岩中变基性岩石的葡萄石－绿纤石相变质ＰＴ条件为Ｔ＝３２５℃～３３５℃,Ｐ＝０．４５～０．４７５ＧＰａ。并讨论了Ｆｅ３＋＝Ａｌ替代对于形成钙铝榴石－绿纤石共生的影响。本文的研究表明,葡萄石－绿纤石－钙铝榴石－绿帘石－绿泥石－石英共生组合是葡萄石－绿纤石相中偏高压组合,钙铝榴石－绿纤石共生与绿纤石－阳起石相一样代表着葡萄石－绿纤石相中较高压相,钙铝榴石在葡萄石－绿纤石相中是可以稳定存在的。     

亚东地区高喜马拉雅结晶岩系部分熔融的时限:来自乃堆拉混合岩锆石U-Pb年代学的约束

高喜马拉雅结晶岩系由中-高级变质岩和淡色花岗岩组成,是研究喜马拉雅造山带形成与演化的天然实验室.高喜马拉雅结晶岩系混合岩和淡色花岗岩中锆石和独居石的定年结果往往是分散的,对这些定年结果的解释还存在争议,严重制约了对高喜马拉雅结晶岩系变质、部分熔融作用的起始时间和持续过程的理解.对造山带中段亚东地区高喜马拉雅结晶岩系上部构造层位的乃堆拉混合岩进行了锆石U-Pb年代学研究.研究结果显示,乃堆拉混合岩暗色体给出了29.1~24.7 Ma的进变质和部分熔融的时间,混合岩浅色体获得了25.0~13.7 Ma的退变质和熔体结晶的时间,表明亚东地区高喜马拉雅结晶岩系的部分熔融作用大约开始于30 Ma并持续到13 Ma,暗示它是一个长期、持续的过程.亚东地区高喜马拉雅结晶岩系发生部分熔融的时间明显早于藏南拆离系和主中央断裂开始活动的时间,部分熔融可能在高喜马拉雅结晶岩系俯冲过程中就已经发生了.相关成果为建立造山带构造演化模型提供了新信息.

Growth of the Namche Barwa Syntaxis and associated evolution of the Tsangpo Gorge: Constraints from structural and thermochronological data

The eastern syntaxis of the Himalaya, Namche Barwa, is dominated by a north-plunging antiform which began to decompress/grow at approximately 4 Ma. New fission-track analyses on both apatite and zircon, combined with previous geochronological ages, indicate that the Namche Barwa Dome also extended laterally while growing vertically. Zircon fission-track ages range from 17.6 to 0.2 Ma and have a strong relationship to the main faults of the region, including the Tertiary Tsangpo Suture, with the younger ages inside the fault bounds towards the syntaxis core on the Indian Plate and the older ages away from the fault. Apatite ages reveal that the dome has grown laterally and now impinges over the older faulted margin onto the Asian Plate. The dome is traversed by the Tsangpo which has followed the trace of the Suture for over 1300 km from its source to the entrance of the dome near Dania. As the Tsangpo crosses the dome it departs from the Suture but rejoins it some 60 km northeastwards. We construe that the Suture has been displaced by the growing antiform and as a consequence, the antecedent river has been “dragged” in a left-lateral sense along the exhuming north-plunging dome. Restoring the Suture to its position prior to 4 Ma reveals a path of the Tsangpo eastwards across the present southwestern position of the Namche Barwa indentation. This geometric reconstrunction implies that the Tsangpo and the Brahmaputra were always one and the same river. In addition, the Tsangpo was tectonically forced into juxtaposition with a tributary of the Jiali-Parlung which it probably then captured. The capture was due to tectonic forcing, in the last 4 Ma, rather than headward retreat of the paleo-Brahmaputra as has been previously suggested.     

Kinematics and dynamics of the Namche Barwa Syntaxis, eastern Himalaya: Constraints from deformation, fabrics and geochronology

Field observations, deformation and fabric analyses, and precise age data acquired by zircon SHRIMP, LA-ICP-MS U-Pb and ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar dating methods have yielded new constraints on the kinematics and dynamics of the Namche Barwa Syntaxis (NBS) which is the eastern corner of the Himalaya. A two-stage model has been established to explain the formation and evolution of the NBS. The northward indentation of the Indian plate beneath the Lhasa terrane began at 55-40 Ma, and crustal materials at this corner were subducted to depths > 70 km where they experienced HP (UHP?) metamorphism. Since 40 Ma, large-scale, right-lateral strike-slip along the Sagaing fault has accommodated the rapid northward movement of the eastern Indian plate corner with respect to the Indochina block. This caused significant and progressive bending of the Indus-Yarlung suture zone (IYSZ) such that it became the Dongjiu-Milin left-lateral, strike-slip, shear zone (DMSZ) in the west and the Aniqiao-Motuo right-lateral, strike-slip, shear zone (AMSZ) in the east. Both zones underwent strong mylonitization. Meanwhile, the HP (UHP?) metamorphic rocks were rapidly exhumed, first into the deep crust at 22-18 Ma and then to the shallow crust to form an antiformal dome at 6-2 Ma. Our model provides new insight into the processes of post-collisional crustal thickening related to the formation of the Himalayan orogenic belt.     

An experimental study of the grain-scale processes of peridotite melting: implications for major and trace element distribution during equilibrium and disequilibrium melting

The grain-scale processes of peridotite melting were examined at 1,340°C and 1.5 GPa using reaction couples formed by juxtaposing pre-synthesized clinopyroxenite against pre-synthesized orthopyroxenite or harzburgite in graphite and platinum-lined molybdenum capsules. Reaction between the clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene-rich aggregates produces a melt-enriched, orthopyroxene-free, olivine + clinopyroxene reactive boundary layer. Major and trace element abundance in clinopyroxene vary systematically across the reactive boundary layer with compositional trends similar to the published clinopyroxene core-to-rim compositional variations in the bulk lherzolite partial melting studies conducted at similar P–T conditions. The growth of the reactive boundary layer takes place at the expense of the orthopyroxenite or harzburgite and is consistent with grain-scale processes that involve dissolution, precipitation, reprecipitation, and diffusive exchange between the interstitial melt and surrounding crystals. An important consequence of dissolution–reprecipitation during crystal-melt interaction is the dramatic decrease in diffusive reequilibration time between coexisting minerals and melt. This effect is especially important for high charged, slow diffusing cations during peridotite melting and melt-rock reaction. Apparent clinopyroxene-melt partition coefficients for REE, Sr, Y, Ti, and Zr, measured from reprecipitated clinopyroxene and coexisting melt in the reactive boundary layer, approach their equilibrium values reported in the literature. Disequilibrium melting models based on volume diffusion in solid limited mechanism are likely to significantly underestimate the rates at which major and trace elements in residual minerals reequilibrate with their surrounding melt.

Petrology and geochronology of the Namche Barwa Complex in the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, Tibet: Constraints on the origin and evolution of the north-eastern margin of the Indian Craton

The Namche Barwa Complex (NBC) in the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, south Tibet, is generally interpreted as the north-eastern extremity of the exposed Greater Himalayan Sequence, comprising Neoproterozoic to early Paleozoic sedimentary strata along the northern margin of the Indian continent. Field and petrological investigations indicate that the NBC consists mainly of orthogneiss, paragneiss, amphibolites and calc-silicate rocks. U-Pb zircon data demonstrate that the protoliths of the orthogneiss formed during late Paleoproterozoic at ca. 1610 Ma and also in early Paleozoic at ca. 490-500 Ma. The amphibolites were derived from mafic magmatic rocks formed during 1645 to 1590 Ma. Zircons in the paragneisses have highly variable inherited zircon ages ranging from the Neoarchean to early Paleozoic, with four major age populations of 2490 Ma, 1640 Ma, 990 Ma and 480 Ma. The calc-silicate rock has zircons with early Paleozoic metamorphic age of 538 Ma. Almost all the rocks of the NBC have been metamorphosed during Cenozoic with the metamorphic zircon U-Pb ages ranging from 8 to 30 Ma and a peak at 23 Ma. These, together with previous results suggest that the NBC was originally derived from an Andean-type orogeny following the Columbia supercontinent assembly, and experienced multiple reworking during the Grenvillian, Pan-African and Himalayan orogenies. We conclude that the NBC in the eastern Himalayan syntaxis was derived from different provenance and tectonic setting as compared to those of the Greater Himalayan Sequence which constitutes the high-grade metamorphic core of the western and central Himalayan orogenic belt. We thus infer that the NBC was originally part of the eastern segment of the Central Indian Tectonic Zone.

柴北缘大陆深俯冲板片折返过程中的深熔作用研究

柴北缘锡铁山地区长英质（花岗）片麻岩普遍经历了不同程度的部分熔融作用,常见新生的花岗质浅色体呈层状、脉状或网络状分布于长英质片麻岩中,并显示出混合岩化的特征。岩相学观察结果显示长英质片麻岩保留了关键的深熔作用显微结构证据:（1）石榴石内部发育有钾长石、石英和斜长石组成的矿物包裹体;（2）长石颗粒边界出现由石英+钾长石±斜长石±白云母组成的楔形矿物集合体;（3）云母颗粒边界发育尖锐的、不规则的微斜长石,而且云母边界溶蚀明显,形成锯齿状不规则的边界;（4）石英、斜长石或钾长石颗粒边界发育圆珠状（stringofbeads）结构,而且颗粒边界或三联点中尖锐状微斜长石与周围矿物的形成较小的二面角。阴极发光图像和锆石U-Pb定年结果表明花岗质浅色体中的锆石具有明显的核、幔、边三层结构,而且具有明显不同的年龄结果。发光较强的继承性锆石岩浆核部的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄约为~910Ma,而且具有高的Th/U比值;弱发光的变质锆石幔的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄结果约为~450Ma。新生的锆石增生边中等程度发光,并发育震荡环带和较低的Th/U比值,与世界典型地区混合岩中深熔锆石的特征十分相似,其²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄结果为432±3Ma。野外关系、显微结构特征和年代学的研究结果显示柴北缘锡铁山地区花岗质浅色体可能是其寄主岩石长英质片麻岩在折返到高压麻粒岩相条件下深熔作用的产物,而且白云母的脱水熔融是引发岩石发生深熔作用的主要机制。柴北缘地区已有的资料综合研究表明,大陆深俯冲板片在俯冲/碰撞和折返过程中可能经历了多重深熔作用。     

苏鲁超高压岩石部分熔融时间的准确限定：来自含黑云母花岗岩中锆石U-Pb定年、REE和Lu-Hf同位素的证据

在北苏鲁超高压变质带中,广泛分布强变形的新三叠纪含黑云母花岗岩和伟晶岩脉。锆石中矿物包体激光拉曼测试、阴极发光图像分析、不同性质锆石微区LA-(MC)-ICP-MS和SHRIMP U-Pb定年、REE及Lu-Hf同位素测试等综合研究结果表明,北苏鲁威海地区超高压正片麻岩在构造折返的 (高压)麻粒岩相升温减压阶段,发生部分熔融 (深熔)作用形成了花岗质岩浆,并在临近角闪岩相退变质作用之前结晶结束形成了含黑云母的花岗岩。该类含黑云母花岗岩中的锆石成因复杂,可划分为三类锆石微区。第一类为强发光效应 (白色)继承性岩浆锆石 (微区I),具有典型的岩浆结晶环带,矿物包体为Qtz+Kfs+Ap,记录的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄为790~782Ma;第二类为新生锆石微区 (微区II),发光强度相对较弱 (灰色-灰白色),也具有较明显的岩浆结晶环带,矿物包体为Qtz+Kfs+Ab+Ap,记录的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄为222~217Ma,加权平均年龄为219±2Ma,表明苏鲁超高压地体的部分熔融 (深熔)作用发生在新三叠纪,这组年龄比苏鲁地体超高压变质时代 (235~225Ma)明显偏新,指示部分熔融 (深熔)作用的时代要晚于苏鲁地体的超高压变质时代;第三类锆石微区 (微区III)围绕第二类锆石微区分布,发光强度最弱 (黑色),也具有典型的岩浆结晶环带,矿物包体十分少见,为Qtz+Ap,记录的²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄集中于216~209Ma之间,加权平均年龄为214±2Ma,应代表部分熔融 (深熔)而成的岩浆结晶结束的年龄,这组年龄比苏鲁地体构造折返晚期角闪岩相退变质时代(210~200Ma)偏老,表明新生岩浆结晶结束的时间要早于角闪岩相退变质时代。继承性岩浆结晶锆石 (微区I) ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf(t)=0.281975~0.281984,¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf=0.00196~0.00221,ε_Hf(t)=-11.6~-11.8,相应的t_DM2=2160~2170Ma,与研究区周围新元古代 (795~730Ma)正片麻岩继承性岩浆结晶锆石的Lu-Hf同位素特征十分相似,表明新元古代正片麻岩是新三叠纪部分熔融 (深熔)成因的含黑云母花岗岩的母岩。新三叠纪新生岩浆结晶锆石的核部 (微区II)和边部 (微区III)具有类似的¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf(t)、¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf比值和ε_Hf(t)值,¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf(t)=0.282110~0.282199,¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf=0.00041~0.00183,ε_Hf(t)=-15.8~-19.1,t_DM2=1980~2130Ma,表明新三叠纪由超高压正片麻岩部分熔融而成的岩浆自结晶开始到结束是在一个相对封闭体系条件下完成的。晚期角闪岩相退变质作用对其Lu-Hf同位素体系也未造成破坏。     

变泥质岩的深熔作用与具铈（Ce）负异常熔体的成因

对美国加州南Sierra Nevada岩基中一个典型的中生代变质表壳岩及其混合岩带进行了详细的野外观察和元素地球化学研究。研究发现:在持久(约为150Ma)的花岗岩侵位作用下,早白垩世变泥质岩发生达角闪岩相的中高级变质作用和部分熔融,导致Isabella混合岩的形成;浅色体具有和变泥质岩及混合岩近平行的REE分布模式,但浅色体的LREE含量相对较低;和变泥质岩相似,混合岩中的浅色体具有显著的Ce负异常。野外观测、岩相观察及元素地球化学特征表明,浅色体显著的Ce负异常是继承了原岩的Ce负异常特征,而不是由于副矿物(磷灰石、独居石或锆石)的差异溶解或结晶分异作用造成的。早白垩世变泥质岩(浅色体的原岩)主要由泥质及沙质海相沉积物组成,局部夹基性火山灰和火山碎屑,形成于与大陆岛弧密切相关的浅海环境。原岩的Ce负异常反映了较还原的浅海沉积环境。具有Ce负异常浅色体的产出表明,如果俯冲带上的沉积岩在俯冲过程中发生部分熔融作用并且所产生的熔体参与大洋型岛弧岩浆作用,最终可以导致具有Ce异常的基性岩浆生成。     

Trace element composition and degree of partial melting of pelitic migmatites from the Aoyama area, Ryoke metamorphic belt, SW Japan: Implications for the source region of tourmaline leucogranites

Degree of partial melting of pelitic migmatites from the Aoyama area, Ryoke metamorphic belt, SW Japan is determined utilizing whole-rock trace element compositions. The key samples used in this study were taken from the migmatite front of this area and have interboudin partitions filled with tourmaline-bearing leucosome. These samples are almost perfectly separated into leucosome (melt) and surrounding matrix (solid). This textural feature enables an estimate of the melting degree by a simple mass-balance calculation, giving the result of 5–11 wt.% of partial melting. Similar calculations applied to the migmatite samples, which assume average migmatite compositions to be the residue solid fraction, give degree of melt extraction of 12–14 wt.% from the migmatite zone. The similarity of the estimated melting degree of 5–11 wt.% with that in other tourmaline–leucogranites, such as Harney Peak leucogranite and Himalayan leucogranites, in spite of differences in formation process implies that the production of tourmaline leucogranites is limited to low degrees of partial melting around 10 wt.%, probably controlled by the breakdown of sink minerals for boron such as muscovite and tourmaline at a relatively early stage of partial melting. Because the amount of boron originally available in the pelitic source rock is limited (on average 100 ppm), 10 wt.% of melting locally requires almost complete breakdown of boron sink mineral(s) in the source rock, in order to provide sufficient boron into the melt to saturate it in tourmaline. This, in turn, means that boron-depleted metapelite regions are important candidates for the source regions of tourmaline leucogranites.
