东南极普里兹带多期变质作用及其对罗迪尼亚和冈瓦纳超大陆重建的启示

东南极普里兹带是一条经受格林维尔期和泛非期高级构造热事件影响的多相变质带,其构造演化过程与罗迪尼亚和冈瓦纳超大陆的形成密切相关.新的岩石学和年代学资料表明,普里兹带中的格林维尔期高级变质作用是区域性的,并经历了>970Ma和930～900Ma两个演化阶段(期),变质条件达到相对高温高压的麻粒岩相.格林维尔期造山作用起始于活动大陆边缘或岛弧环境下的岩浆增生,最后发展到陆陆碰撞,从而使印度、东南极西陆块和非洲的卡拉哈里克拉通拼合在一起,构成了罗迪尼亚超大陆的重要组成部分之一.普里兹带中的泛非期高级变质作用并不象前人认为的那样只发生在中低压麻粒岩相条件下,而是达到高压麻粒岩相,并具有近等温减压的顺时针P-T演化轨迹.格林维尔期变质先驱的普遍存在说明泛非期碰撞造山事件主要叠加在印度-南极陆块东缘的基底杂岩之上,所以其主缝合线的位置应该在现今普里兹带的东南方向,并可能向南极内陆延伸到甘布尔采夫冰下山脉.对不同类型岩石的精细定年揭示,普里兹带中泛非期造山作用过程从570Ma一直持续到490Ma,这与东非造山带的晚期碰撞阶段大致相吻合.因此,冈瓦纳超大陆的最后拼合可能是通过西冈瓦纳、印度-南极陆块和澳大利亚-南极陆块等三个陆块的近于同期碰撞来完成的.     

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。     

“江南造山带”变质基底形成的构造环境及演化特征

"江南造山带"变质基底的形成和演化长期存在不同认识。本文试图通过区域地层对比、火山—沉积组合、构造变形特征,大量新的测年数据以及淡色花岗岩(MPG)和含堇青石花岗闪长岩(CPG)等岩体的分布及产出的构造环境分析,再次探讨"江南造山带"变质基底的构造环境和演化特征。笔者等认为"江南造山带"变质基底的形成和演化与1.1～0.9Ga的"格林威尔运动"无关,它是Rodinia超大陆裂解后的不同陆块(如扬子陆块、华夏陆块等)的大陆边缘沉积,经830～780Ma之晋宁运动期碰撞造山,进而构成新元古代中—晚期扬子古陆新的増生大陆边缘。晋宁期碰撞造山的特征是:在时间演化方面经历了早期初始强烈碰撞、挤压变形—松弛拉张接受不同规模裂陷盆地或裂谷火山—碎屑沉积—终期再碰撞演化过程;在空间变化方面则显示为构造环境的多样性。以湘、赣边界剪切断裂带和鄱阳湖—赣江剪切断裂带为界,形成三种不同的构造环境。湘黔桂代表的西部区段和赣西北代表的中部区段均为被动大陆边缘的陆—陆对接碰撞构造环境。但二者在挤压和拉张强度和规模的差别,导致两区段构造形态的不同。赣皖浙东部区段为活动大陆边缘具多列岛弧及弧后盆地的洋—陆俯冲—碰撞构造环境。     

Neoproterozoic A‐type magmatism in the Western Sierras Pampeanas (Argentina): evidence for Rodinia break‐up along a proto‐Iapetus rift?

A‐type orthogneisses of mid Neoproterozoic age (774 ± 6 Ma, U‐Pb SHRIMP zircon age), are reported for the first time from the Grenvillian basement of the Western Sierras Pampeanas in Argentina. These anorogenic meta‐igneous rocks represent the latest event of Rodinia break‐up so far recognized in Grenvillian basement exposures across Andean South America. Moreover, they compare well with A‐type granitoids and volcanic rocks along the Appalachian margin of Laurentia (Blue Ridge), thus adding to former evidence that the Western Sierras Pampeanas Grenvillian basement was left on the conjugate rifted margin of eastern Laurentia during Rodinia break‐up and the consequent opening of the Iapetus ocean.     

南苏鲁超高压变质地体中罗迪尼亚超大陆裂解事件的记录

通过苏鲁超高压变质地体南部不同类型超高压变质岩石的原岩重塑．揭示超高压变质岩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陆缘拉伸构造环境。中国大陆科学钻探主孔中不同类型超高压变质岩石的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年表明。花岗质片麻岩原岩年龄为780～680Ma；榴辉岩、石榴角闪岩的原岩年龄为765～730Ma，副片麻岩中包含了730Ma、680Ma、621Ma和较年轻的继承性碎屑锆石和结晶锆石年龄。结合前人的研究成果表明，苏鲁超高压变质地体南部正片麻岩类和榴辉岩的原岩所代表的花岗岩浆和基性岩浆活动为罗迪尼亚超大陆形成后的新元古代裂解事件的产物．而副片麻岩的原岩为新元古代．古生代时期形成的扬子被动陆缘的沉积-火山表壳盖层，它们与结晶基底一起在240～220Ma期间经历了超高压变质作用。     

华南陆块北缘大陆裂断带高温低压变质作用

高温低压变质岩的形成要求高的热梯度（>30℃/km）,所对应的构造环境一直受到地质学界的关注.本文总结了我们对华南陆块北缘新元古代Rodinia超大陆裂解（breakup）时期形成的变质花岗岩和变质玄武岩所进行的岩石学和地球化学研究成果,强调大陆裂断（rift）带是形成高温低压变质岩最可能的构造环境.高温低压变质作用主要记录在含铝硅酸盐矿物的变质花岗岩中,其中所含的红柱石和夕线石为变质成因,由白云母脱水反应产生.根据含铝硅酸盐矿物的峰期矿物组合和视剖面计算,得到变质温压条件为560~660℃/1.0~3.5 kbar.变质红柱石具有非常负的δ18O值,并且与岩浆锆石处于氧同位素不平衡状态,进一步证明它是岩浆结晶后变质作用的产物.变质榍石U-Pb定年得到高温低压变质作用的年龄为751±11 Ma,与Rodinia超大陆裂解峰期年龄一致.变质玄武岩显示岛弧型微量元素分布特征,指示其源区为受俯冲大洋地壳来源流体交代的地幔楔,因此地幔源区形成于格林威尔期Rodinia超大陆聚合过程中.由此可见,导致超大陆裂解的大陆裂断是在古俯冲带基础上发育的.通过对比形成变质峰期矿物组合所需的热流值和变质花岗岩中产热元素提供的热流值,得知大陆裂断带确实存在来自软流圈地幔的异常高热流,这使得超大陆裂解过程可以发育高温低压变质作用.      

Precambrian continent assembly and dispersal events of South Indian and East Antarctic Shields

An Archaean continent ‘SIWA’, an acronym for South India–Western Australia, comprising the Bastar–Dharwar craton, the Yilgarn craton, the Napier Complex, and the Vestfold Hills has been identified from palaeomagnetic and spatio-temporal data. This assembly was dispersed in three phases with the development of the proto-Indian ocean. The first and second events ~2350 and ~2000 Ma were related to the separation of the Yilgarn craton and the Napier Complex, respectively, to form a proto-Indo-Antarctic ocean and the Cuddapah basin. The proto-ocean was closed ~1650 Ma by the collision of the Lambert Terrane of East Antarctica and the Bastar–Dharwar craton. This collision, associated with ultra-high temperature (UHT) granulite facies metamorphism, is identified in the southern domain of the Eastern Ghats and the Oygardens domain of East Antarctica. The third extensional event between 1500 and 1200 Ma was associated with the separation of the Vestfold Hills block and a second phase of opening of the proto-Indian ocean, and the development of a series of basins on the western side of the Eastern Ghats (the Chhatisgarh, Khariar, Ampani, Indravati, and Sabari basins). The closing of this ocean basin during the Eastern Ghats–Rayner orogeny at ~950 Ma was related to the amalgamation of India and East Antarctica to form the supercontinent Rodinia. During the Neoproterozoic, this part of Rodinia was involved in orogenic collapse/extension and deposition of the Sodruzhesvo Group. The Pan-African Prydz Bay orogeny at ~550 Ma caused the closing of the basin to form East Gondwanaland.     

Detrital zircon U–Pb ages and whole-rock geochemistry of the Neoproterozoic Paulistana and Santa Filomena complexes,Borborema Province,northeastern Brazil: implications for source area composition,provenance, and tectonic setting

The Paulistana and Santa Filomena Complexes are situated in the southern part of the Borborema Province (northeastern Brazil), in the Riacho do Pontal Orogen, and represent meta-volcano-sedimentary sequences. We present compositional variations in the metasedimentary rocks and new U–Pb detrital zircon data. Major and trace elements indicate that the metasedimentary rocks from the Paulistana and Santa Filomena Complexes are composed mostly of immature to mature sediments derived from felsic-intermediate sources with moderate to slightly high chemical weathering. The geochemical signatures of the sediment protoliths for both complexes are characteristic of continental magmatic arc settings with minor contribution from recycled sediment sources. The source area for the Paulistana Complex rocks follow the compositional trend between calc-alkaline granites and granodiorites, whereas the Santa Filomena Complex rocks have a more restricted composition trending to more granodioritic sources. For the Paulistana Complex, two main source ages were identified: (1) Tonian (ca. 950 Ma – sample RPE-58) and Tonian–Stenian (ca. 1.0 Ga – sample RPE-103). These data coupled with geochemical information suggest that the Cariris Velhos arc system was the main source area for the Paulistana Complex. Regarding the Santa Filomena metasedimentary rocks, potential source-areas include: (1) Neoarchaean rocks (~2.6 Ga) represented by the adjacent basement rocks of the Riacho do Pontal Orogen; (2) Rhyacian–Orosirian rocks (2.2–2.0 Ga) of the Riacho do Pontal Orogen and the Pernambuco–Alagoas terrain, which include an augen-gneiss with arc-related geochemical signature; (3) Statherian granites (1.7–1.6 Ga); and (4) Cariris Velhos crust (1000–920 Ma). The metasedimentary rocks of the Paulistana Complex were deposited in a rift stage (ca. 900 Ma), which is related to the break-up of the Rodinia supercontinent. The metasedimentary rocks of the Santa Filomena Complex most probably were deposited in another rift stage (ca. 750–700 Ma) and could be correlatives of the rift formation of the Canindé Domain (Sergipano Orogen).     

Single zircon ages from high-grade rocks of the Jianping Complex, Liaoning Province, NE China

The high-grade rocks of the Jianping Complex in Liaoning Provi nce, NE China, belong to the late Archaean to earliest Proterozoic granulite belt of the North China craton. Single zircon ages obtained by the Pb–Pb evaporation method and SHRIMP analyses document an evolutionary history that began with deposition of a cratonic supracrustal sequence some 2522–2551 Ma ago, followed by intrusion of granitoid rocks beginning at 2522 Ma and reaching a peak at about 2500 Ma. This was followed by high-grade metamorphism, transforming the existing rocks into granulites, charnockites and enderbites some 2485–2490 Ma ago. The intrusion of post-tectonic granites at 2472 Ma is associated with widespread metamorphic retrogression and ends the tectono–metamorphic evolution of this terrain. A similar evolutionary sequence has also been recorded in the granulite belt of Eastern Hebei Province. We speculate that the Jianping Complex was part of an active continental margin in the late Archaean that became involved in continental collision and crustal thickening shortly after its formation. There is a remarkable similarity between the 2500 Ma North China granulite belt and the equally old granulite belt of Southern India, suggesting that the two crustal domains could have been part of the same active plate margin in latest Archaean times.     

Paleoproterozoic Potassic Granitoids in the Sushui Complex from the Zhongtiao Mountains, Northern China： Geochronology, Geochemistry and Petrogenesis

1 Introduction The early Precambrian basement of the North China Craton (NCC) consists mainly of the Eastern Continental Block, the Western Continental Block and the Trans-North China Orogen (TNCO, or “the Central Tectonic Zone”), which formed by continental collision between the Eastern and Western Blocks (Zhao et al., 1998). This evolutionary model has now been widely accepted (Wu and Zhong, 1998; Guan et al., 2002; Guo et al., 2002; Liu et al., 2002a, b; Liu et al., 2004a, b;…     

华北陆块对Rodinia超大陆的响应及其特征

研究揭示华北陆块1300-1000Ma和800-650Ma都存在比较弱的岩浆-变质事件，它们可能对应于华南陆块的碰撞（四堡运动）和裂解事件。华北陆块的四堡期蛇绿混杂岩可能只见于新元古代秦岭造山带中。秦岭造山带北缘识别出了一些花岗质分清入体，它们具有碰撞或碰撞后花岗岩的特征。华北陆块北缘的火山沉积岩生活费不具有离散边界杂岩的特征，它们可能揭示了大陆边缘或者大陆伸展过程。华北陆块与800-650Ma事件相关的岩石主要为来自富集地幔的基性岩墙和来自陆内裂谷的沉积岩，它们很可能与Rodinia裂解有关。沉积学和古生物学特征表明元古宙华北陆块不同华南陆块，而与西伯利亚陆块相似。据此可以认为华北陆块是Rodinia超大陆的一部分，它位于超大陆的边缘，可以不与华南陆块紧邻，而与西伯利亚陆地较近。     

上扬子E-C转换期古地理格局及其地球动力学机制探讨

E-C转换时期上扬子陆块边缘呈现明显的台—棚格局,发育有广元—绵阳—磨溪、城口、峨边、彭水老厂坪和毕节等陆棚。整体呈近南北向展布,向边缘的开阔海开口,呈喇叭状。其中以广元—绵阳—大磨溪为最大,长约200 km,最宽处大于100 km,最窄处30 km,面积约5.4×104 km2。下震旦统陡山沱组—上震旦统灯影组三段—下寒武统筇竹寺组,从初始出现到最后消亡,经历了约110 Ma。台地上为碳酸盐岩沉积,深水陆棚相区内发育麦地坪+筇竹寺+沧浪铺黑色含磷硅质岩、硅质白云岩,夹有胶磷矿条带（资4井）,环陆棚的外缘发育碳酸盐岩颗粒滩。川西—川北沿龙门山—米仓山一线密集分布的800~760 Ma左右的岩浆岩及其Hf同位素值指示了伴随Rodinia大陆裂解,在上扬子的西部和北部边缘发育了以荥经、宝兴为节点的三叉裂谷,向北东方向的一支大致沿松潘甘孜地块与扬子地块的边界裂开,裂开的深度已经达到了上地幔（陆间裂谷）,向西北方向的原洋裂谷可能沿丹巴、小金—金川伸入古祁连海域。沿绵阳—广元、安康—平利、乐山—内江—女基井一线,有伸进上扬子台地内部的陆内裂谷发育。这些陆内裂谷控制了E-C转换时期上扬子西部和北部边缘台—棚分异格局。从Rodinia大陆裂解及其随后上扬子板块边缘的沉积格局看,大陆边缘的台—棚分异格局是超大陆的裂解的古地理效应。     

Geochronological and geochemical constraints on Late Cryogenian to Early Ediacaran magmatic rocks on the northern Tarim Craton: implications for tectonic setting and affinity with Gondwana

ABSTRACT

The Tarim Craton provides a geologic record of both the fragmentation of the Rodinian supercontinent and the subsequent assembly of Gondwana. However, the timing and interactions of these radically different tectonic processes remain contested. A critical part of this debate revolves around the Late Cryogenian-Ediacaran igneous rocks along the Craton’s northern margin, specifically, whether they record super-plume related Rodinian breakup or Gondwanan orogeny. To address this issue, we present zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopic data and whole rock geochemistry from Late Cryogenian to Early Ediacaran granitoids of the northern Tarim Craton. U-Pb zircon ages reveal three magmatic periods along the northern Tarim margin: ca. 660–640 Ma, 635–625 Ma and 620–600 Ma, associated with small scale felsic and mafic magmas. These granitoids have an A2-type affinity and are enriched in alkalines, but are depleted in Nb, Ta, Sr, P and Ti. Elemental data and generally negative εHf(t) values (?13.96 to 1.65) suggest that they were mainly derived from partial melting of enriched, subduction-modified lithospheric mantle triggered by upwelling of the asthenospheric mantle along the active continental margin of northern Tarim. We suggest that the Tarim Craton travelled as an isolated plate for much of the Late Neoproterozoic, near the outer part of Rodinia and subsequently Gondwana. During this time it was affected by localized and periodic subduction-related intrusion and eruption. However, within the samples of this study, there is no U-Pb-Hf isotopic and whole-rock geochemical evidence to support either super-plume-related rifting (i.e. Rodinian breakup) or Pan-African orogeny (i.e. Gondwanan assembly).     

华南新元古代裂谷盆地演化——Rodinia超大陆解体的前奏

沉积学研究表明，华南新元古代沉积盆地具典型裂谷盆地沉积演化特征。代表裂谷盆地早期形成阶段的成因相组合有：冲洪积相组合、陆相（或海相）火山岩及火山碎屑岩相组合、滨浅海相沉积组合、淹没碳酸盐台地及欠补偿盆地黑色页岩相组合；而代表中、后期形成阶段的成因相组合有：滨岸边缘相至深海相组合，冰期冰积岩相组合、碳酸盐岩及碳硅质细碎岩相组合。华南裂谷盆地岩相古地理演化经历了5个重要的时期，整体上反映了一个由陆变海、由地堑－地垒相间盆地变广海盆地、由浅海变深海、盆地上小变大的演化过程。裂谷盆地的形成经历了裂谷基的形成、地幔柱作用与裂谷体的形成，被动沉降（下坳）与裂谷盖的形成三个阶段。华南裂谷盆地的形成演化与Rodinia超大陆在新元古代时期的裂解作用密切相关，它是超大陆解体过程的一个重要组成部分。     

High-pressure metamorphism in Antarctica from the Proterozoic to the Cenozoic: A review and geodynamic implications

The survey of high-P metamorphic rocks in Antarctica can help clarify the geodynamic evolution of the continent by pointing out palaeo-suture zones and constraining the age of subduction and collision events. There are eclogite-facies rocks along the eastern margin of the ‘Mawson block’ (e.g., in the Nimrod Glacier region and George V Land). Some of these have been long forgotten (George V Land; Eyre Peninsula in Australia). Stillwell (1918) described rocks from George V Land containing glaucophane, lawsonite, garnet coronas and symplectites possibly after omphacite. These high-P rocks were apparently involved in the Nimrod-Kimban orogenic cycle and therefore provide a record of convergence along the eastern margin of the Mawson block at ~ 1700 Ma; they could represent one of the oldest blueschist-facies imprint. Many terranes in East Antarctica underwent a tectonometamorphic evolution during the Grenvillian (1300–900 Ma) and/or the Pan-African (600–500 Ma) orogenies, corresponding to the amalgamation of Rodinia and Gondwana, respectively. High-P relicts have been described or are suspected to occur in these terranes. Garnet-bearing coronitic metagabbros, in some cases possibly containing omphacite, are common in Dronning Maud Land and the Rayner Complex. They formed under high-P granulite-facies or eclogite-facies conditions and recall similar metabasites from the Grenville mobile belt of Canada. Note that some reconstructions of the Rodinia supercontinent consider these two Antarctic regions as an extension of the Grenvillian belt of Canada. Other eclogite-facies metamorphic rocks and ophiolites (Shackleton Range and possibly Sverdrupfjella) belong to the Pan-African mobile belt extending from Tanzania to East Antarctica. Since the Cambrian, the terranes of West Antarctica have been accreted along the palaeo-Pacific margin of Gondwana/Antarctica during several subduction-accretion orogenies. The ultrahigh-P metamorphic rocks of Northern Victoria Land formed through the accretion of an arc-backarc system during the Cambrian-Ordovician Ross orogeny; eclogites of the same orogeny also exist in Tasmania and Australia. Lastly, on the western edge of the Antarctic Peninsula, the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Andean orogeny generated a subduction-accretionary complex containing blueschist-facies rocks.     

东南极茹尔群岛超高温麻粒岩的研究进展

茹尔群岛(又称赖于尔群岛)位于东南极普里兹构造带的东部边缘,是一个由太古宙和中元古代岩石组成的复合高级变质地体。中元古代岩石是含有富Fe-Al的含石榴子石-矽线石的费拉副片麻岩组合,经历了格林维尔和泛非两期变质作用。太古宙正片麻岩是含有富Mg-Al的含假蓝宝石的超高温泥质麻粒岩组合(梅瑟副片麻岩组合),主要由经历超高温变质作用的含假蓝宝石的泥质麻粒岩、富Mg的石榴子石-矽线石泥质片麻岩、斜方辉石-矽线石石英岩、含石榴子石镁铁质麻粒岩和钙硅酸盐麻粒岩等组成。其中,含假蓝宝石泥质麻粒岩中石榴子石变斑晶和矽线石集合体(蓝晶石假象)周围分别发育峰期后由假蓝宝石+斜方辉石和假蓝宝石+堇青石后成合晶组成的典型减压结构。含石榴子石镁铁质麻粒岩中石榴子石变斑晶周围则发育峰期后由斜方辉石+斜长石后成合晶组成的典型白眼圈减压结构。不同研究者得出了具有不同超高温峰期条件、峰期前及峰期后演化历史、不同形式的顺时针变质P-T轨迹。对超高温变质事件发生的时间和构造背景的认识也存在较大分歧,有认为超高温变质事件发生于格林维尔期(~1000 Ma)并与碰撞造山和弧岩浆作用有关,也有研究认为发生于泛非期(~590 Ma或~530 Ma)并与普里兹造山及冈瓦纳大陆聚合有关。因此,为理清该区超高温麻粒岩的变质演化历史和构造背景,需要对其进一步进行详细深入的矿物组合-变质结构分析、P-T轨迹重建及高精度的锆石-独居石U-Pb年代学研究,并进行区域上对比。      

U-Pb chronology of the Northampton Complex, Western Australia – evidence for Grenvillian sedimentation, metamorphism and deformation and geodynamic implications

Conventional and SHRIMP U-Pb analyses of zircon, monazite, titanite and apatite from the high grade rocks of the Northampton Complex in Western Australia provide constraints on the timing of metamorphic processes and deformation events in the northern Darling Mobile Belt (western margin of the Archean Yilgarn Craton). Paragneisses and mafic volcanics and/or intrusions have undergone granulite facies metamorphism in a probable extensional tectonic setting prior to formation of W- to NW-verging folds and thrusts cut by normal shears (interpreted as late collapse structures) during the main deformation event (D₁). These structures are folded by open to tight folds with NW-striking axial surfaces developed in a second, NE-SW contractional event (D₂). Zircons from a mafic granulite provide an age of 1079 ± 3 Ma attributed to new zircon growth prior to, or at the peak of regional granulite facies metamorphism. Metamorphic monazites extracted from a paragneiss yield an identical age of 1083 ± 3 Ma. The similarity of ages between zircons from the mafic granulite (1079 ± 3 Ma) and monazites from the paragneiss (1083 ± 3 Ma) is interpreted to reflect fast cooling and/or rapid uplift, which is consistent with thrusting of the gneissic units during the first deformation event (D₁) associated with the onset of retrograde metamorphism. Granitic activity at 1068 ± 13 Ma was followed by intrusion of post-D₂ pegmatite (989 ± 2 Ma), which constrains the end of metamorphism and associated deformation. Cooling of the complex to about 500 °C is timed by the apatite age of 921 ± 23 Ma. SHRIMP U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from a paragneiss sample yield a maximum age of 2043 Ma, with no evidence of an Archean Yilgarn signature. A majority of ages between 1.6 and 1.9 Ga are consistent with derivation from the Capricorn Orogen on the northern margin of the Yilgarn Craton. Younger detrital zircons with 1150–1450 Ma ages, however, indicate an additional source that had undergone early Grenvillian igneous or metamorphic event(s) and also places a maximum age constraint upon deposition. The source of this clastic material may have been from within the southern Darling Mobile Belt or from Greater India (adjacent to the Northampton Complex in Rodinia reconstructions). This study documents an extended Grenvillian history, with basin formation, sedimentation, granulite facies metamorphism, contractional tectonics (two periods with orthogonal directions of shortening) and late pegmatite emplacement taking place between 1150–989 Ma on the western margin of the Yilgarn Craton. Ages recorded in this study indicate that the proposed global distribution of Grenvillian belts during assembly of the Rodinia supercontinent should be reassessed to include the Darling Mobile Belt.

扬子陆块北缘西大别地区定远组双峰式火山岩U-Pb年代学及其地质构造意义

西大别地区定远组由浅变质的酸性火山岩(流纹岩和流纹质凝灰岩)和基性火山岩组成,二者在空间上互层产出,具典型的双峰式火山岩系组合特征,为认识南秦岭-大别造山带及扬子陆块北缘前寒武纪物质组成和地质演化提供了极佳的研究对象.通过对2件变流纹岩、1件变流纹质晶屑凝灰岩和1件变基性火山岩样品进行LA-ICP-MS锆石原位U-Pb测年,获得其成岩年龄分别为737±5Ma、740±3Ma、740±5Ma和739±6Ma.结果表明,定远组双峰式火山岩系形成时代并非前人认识的古生代,而是新元古代约740Ma.定远组与红安岩群双峰式火山建造形成时间基本一致,指示了西大别地区新元古代一次重要的拉张构造-岩浆事件,可能形成于大陆边缘裂谷环境.扬子陆块北缘武当-随枣-大别地区新元古代800～720Ma岩浆活动广泛且强烈,其峰期为755～730Ma,可能是对Rodinia超大陆裂解事件的响应.     

拉萨地块西段尼雄地区拉嘎组物源示踪：来自碎屑岩地球化学的制约

拉萨地块西段缺失晚古生代岩浆岩,造成不能从岩浆岩角度探索其晚古生代地质演化,因此沉积岩的对比研究对理解拉萨地块晚古生代的差异演化过程至关重要。本文通过对尼雄地区上石炭统—下二叠统拉嘎组碎屑岩地球化学特征分析,试图揭示其物源特征及源区构造背景,提供拉萨地块晚古生代沉积岩对比分析的基础信息。尼雄地区拉嘎组一段和二段主量和微量元素特征略有差异,二段较一段CaO、Na_2O含量更高,V、Cr、Ni、Co及轻稀土含量也更高,反映二者沉积源区有一定差异。拉嘎组物源区的构造背景兼具被动大陆边缘与活动大陆边缘特征,并且二段较一段显示更强的活动大陆边缘亲缘性。结合区域地质资料,认为拉嘎组碎屑岩主要来自成熟的大陆源区,为冈瓦纳大陆北缘基底岩石及早古生代沉积岩的再旋回沉积,二段源区的少量酸性及基性物质组分对应于冈瓦纳大陆北缘泛非期及寒武纪岩浆活动。

超大陆演化是地质研究的重要内容,华北克拉通与不同地质历史时期超大陆汇聚与裂解的联系对反演华北克拉通构造演化历史具有重要意义。本文在辽吉古元古代造山带中段的原划分为辽河群地层中首次识别出一套早古生代沉积建造。这套沉积建造与华北克拉通以浅海相的碳酸盐岩为主的早古生代沉积并不一致,以发育大量的陆源碎屑沉积为特征。我们对2件细砂岩分别进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS和SHRIMP U-Pb定年。定年结果显示,2件样品的最小年龄分别为～482Ma和～498Ma,反映了它们的最大沉积时代。2件样品的碎屑锆石年龄主要介于1600～500Ma,缺乏亲华北的物源信息,表明它们的物源主要来自于华北之外。2件样品年龄谱中最重要的峰值出现在格林威尔期和泛非期,表明华北克拉通曾与罗迪尼亚超大陆和冈瓦纳大陆存在联系。格林威尔期碎屑锆石可能来自于罗迪尼亚超大陆时期波罗地古陆物质在华北克拉通东缘的再循环;泛非期碎屑锆石可能来自于东冈瓦纳大陆的北缘造山带。
