湖南鲁塘石墨矿Re-Os同位素研究

石墨具有较高的Re、Os含量,可望成为理想的Re-Os同位素测年对象,但迄今国内外研究较少,尤其在煤层经变质作用形成石墨过程中,其中Re-Os同位素体系的变化还有待研究。湖南鲁塘石墨矿是我国典型的隐晶质石墨矿床之一,矿体产于二叠系龙潭组煤系地层中。本文采用Carius管逆王水溶解样品,直接蒸馏、微蒸馏分离纯化Os,丙酮萃取法分离富集Re,热表面电离质谱法对鲁塘矿区石墨样品以及外围原煤进行了Re-Os同位素分析。结果表明:鲁塘石墨的Re含量为0.901~9.794 ng/g,Os含量为7.3~189.5 pg/g,Re-Os同位素等时线年龄为155.6±3.6 Ma,该年龄与鲁塘石墨矿东侧骑田岭岩体第二阶段中粒黑云母花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄153~157 Ma一致,表明了龙潭组煤层受到骑田岭岩体"烘烤"作用,发生热接触变质作用,使得靠近骑田岭岩体原煤变质为石墨,形成石墨矿床。通过对比石墨、原煤和骑田岭岩体Re、Os含量及比值,发现石墨中的Re、Os主要来源于原煤,并根据石墨Re-Os等时线初始(187Os/188Os)i值(0.686±0.032),推测骑田岭岩体在侵入煤系地层过程中,有少量具有较低187Os/188Os值的Os被碳质吸附。     

湘南新田岭大型钨钼矿床辉钼矿Re-Os同位素测年及其地质意义

新田岭矿床是湘南地区一大型矽卡岩-石英脉型钨钼多金属矿床,在成因上与骑田岭岩体早期侵位的角闪石黑云母二长花岗岩相关。分别对该矿床矽卡岩型和石英脉型矿石内的辉钼矿单矿物进行了Re-Os同位素测年,结果显示,矽卡岩型矿石中1件辉钼矿的187Re-187Os模式年龄为159.1±2.6Ma,6件石英脉型矿石中辉钼矿的187Re-187Os模式年龄为159.1～160.2Ma,加权平均值为159.4±1.3Ma,对应的等时线年龄为161.7±9.3Ma,与已有的矽卡岩内铁云母Ar-Ar年龄(157.1±0.3Ma)和石英脉内石英流体包裹体的Rb-Sr年龄(157.4±3.2Ma)在误差范围内相吻合,指示新田岭钨钼矿床的成矿时限大致可限定为157.1～161.7Ma,表明钨钼矿化与该区骑田岭岩体早期侵位的角闪石黑云母花岗岩(160～163Ma)具有密切的时间关系。结合已有的研究结果认为,新田岭大型钨钼矿床与骑田岭岩体早期侵位的角闪石黑云母二长花岗岩具有密切的时、空联系,而南部的芙蓉锡矿与晚期侵位的黑云母二长花岗岩更为密切,整个骑田岭A型花岗岩的侵位及相关的钨锡多金属成矿作用应为一个连续的演化过程,均为南岭地区150～160Ma钨锡多金属爆发式成矿作用的产物。该区在中-晚侏罗世(150～165Ma)岩石圈的伸展减薄背景下,软流圈地幔物质沿着深大断裂上涌,强烈的壳幔相互作用可能为大规模的花岗质岩浆活动及钨锡多金属的成矿大爆发提供了主要的热动力和部分物源。     

南岭区域成矿与深部探测的研究进展及其对西藏钨锡找矿的指示

本文通过对桂西北矿集区、湘南矿集区和赣南粤北矿集区的地质学、地球化学、矿床学等方面的研究,扼要对比了南岭西段、中段和东段的地壳演化历史和区域成矿特点,发现在矿集区尺度上,南岭成矿带西段表现为燕山晚期的爆发式成矿作用;南岭成矿带中段表现为伴随多期岩浆活动而发生多期次成矿,形成多金属矿床;东段虽然也发生多期次的岩浆活动,但成矿作用以燕山期早期第一阶段为高峰;南岭西段也具有发现东段式钨矿的潜力。在不同矿集区深部找矿方向上,南岭西段的少花岗岩地区应重点探测与深部隐伏花岗岩体有关的成矿作用,高温高压成矿实验也表明溶洞式矿体也应列为找矿重点;南岭中段应根据不同的成矿环境探测深部矿体,如黄沙坪矿床深部存在"柿竹园式"矿床;南岭东段,应该在"五层楼"下部寻找"地下室"矿体。在物质来源方面,在湘南骑田岭矿集区的探测技术试验结果表明,骑田岭岩体深部存在地幔物质上涌的通道,岩体中心相的细粒黑云母花岗岩较外围的粗粒黑云母花岗岩混入了较多的幔源物质,白蜡水矿区的富锡流纹质次火山岩脉,也暗示深部存在一期更晚的、含幔源物质更多的岩浆活动,与锡矿成矿物质多来源于地幔的认识一致。根据以上认识,并综合对比南岭与西藏成矿的异同,本文认为在西藏地区,宜在低剥蚀地区的中低温热液矿床的深部探测钨锡矿床,在发育老地层的高剥蚀地区寻找中高温热液型钨锡矿床。     

辽宁宽甸东北沟钼矿床辉钼矿Re-Os年龄及其地质意义

为研究辽宁宽甸地区近年来新发现的东北沟钼矿的成矿时代及其物质来源,对东北沟钼矿床中的5件辉钼矿样品进行了Re-Os同位素地球化学测试和定年。结果表明,辉钼矿的模式年龄为127.1~132.6 Ma,等时线年龄为(128.1±5.1)Ma,与赋矿围岩二长花岗岩的成岩时代(129.4 Ma)一致,由此认为二者均为燕山期构造-岩浆-成矿作用的产物;辉钼矿Re含量为(5.10~23.38)×10~(-6),与内生钼矿床辉钼矿Re含量对比介于壳源-壳幔混合源之间,初步判定东北沟钼矿成矿物质来源介于壳源与壳幔混合源之间,有可能以壳幔混合源为主。结合区域构造演化,认为东北沟钼矿可能是古太平洋板块向欧亚大陆俯冲构造背景下岩浆活动的产物。

赣中大王山石英脉型钨钼多金属矿床成岩成矿年代学及其地质意义

赣中大王山钨钼多金属矿床位于钦杭结合带西缘大王山—于山W-U-Sn-Au多金属成矿带,为典型的石英脉型矿床,其赋矿岩体具有多阶段特征。通过LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb测年技术,得到晚阶段细粒花岗岩成岩年龄为145.1±0.89 Ma,与早阶段形成的中粗粒花岗岩形成时间接近(147.8±1.9 Ma);利用辉钼矿Re-Os同位素测年技术,得到成矿年龄为147.6±1.8 Ma,表明该矿床形成于晚侏罗世,与南岭地区及其周边的燕山期石英脉型钨钼多金属矿床的成岩、成矿时代一致。辉钼矿中Re的含量具有指示成矿物质来源的重要参考价值,大王山钨多金属矿床的辉钼矿中Re含量较低,为2 215×10^-9～10 183×10^-9,与以钨为主、共生或伴生钼的矿床特征相吻合,指示其成矿物质主要来自于壳源或壳幔混合源,即在160～110 Ma之间,古太平洋板块与欧亚板块之间的主应力作用方向发生转变,促使我国东部岩浆活动频繁,岩浆期后热液与围岩碱交代明显,大量成矿物质被萃取,并在成矿有利部位富集。     

湖南大义山晚侏罗世富硼型成锡矿A型花岗岩成因及地质意义

位于南岭成矿带和钦-杭成矿带(简称钦-杭带)交汇部位的湖南大义山锡矿是南岭地区典型的富硼型锡多金属矿床。为厘清大义山锡矿成矿动力学背景,深化南岭地区钨锡矿成矿机制,本文以大义山成锡矿黑云母二长花岗岩为研究对象,开展了系统的岩石学和地球化学研究。研究发现,大义山锡矿具有富硼的特征,成矿黑云母二长花岗岩发育电气石"囊包",电气石在蚀变矿物中广泛发育,并与锡矿化紧密共生,这些特征表明成矿花岗岩具有富硼的特征,并发生了岩浆热液流体出溶。地球化学分析显示,黑云母二长花岗岩具有较高含量的Al_2O_3 (13.67%～14.00%)、Na_20(3.65%～3.90%)、K_2O(3.49%～4.24%)以及较高的FeO~T/(FeOT+MgO)比值(0.95～0.97)、FeO~T/MgO 比值(18.75～32.69)、A/CNK 比值(1.15～1.26)和 10000 × Ga/Al 比值(3.48～4.08),较低的CaO(0.54%～0.59%)、P_2O_5(0.04%～0.06%)含量和锆饱和温度(716～725℃)。球粒陨石标准化稀土元素配分具有明显的四分组效应,强烈的Eu负异常,微量元素富集Rb、Th、U、Ta和Nd等元素,亏损Ba、Nb、Sr、Eu等元素。表明成矿花岗岩具有高分异的特征,与A2型花岗岩特征相近。Nd-Hf同位素分析显示,黑云母二长花岗岩与南岭地区成锡矿花岗岩及钦-杭带A型花岗岩同位素特征基本一致,表明岩浆主要来源于中元古代壳源物质熔融,并有幔源物质的加入。综合本文及前人研究成果,推测南岭地区燕山期伸展作用与Izanagi俯冲板块开天窗或撕裂有关,在此背景下,软流圈物质上涌,引发下地壳物质熔融,形成了富硼的壳幔源混合型花岗质岩浆。岩浆中较高的硼含量促使岩浆发生强烈的结晶分异,并有利于晚期锡矿的形成。     

略阳煎茶岭铜镍硫化物矿床Re—Os同位素年龄及其地质意义

采用矿石Re-Os同位素方法对陕西省煎茶岭硫化镍矿床矿石进行了成矿年代学研究,获得了878士27 Ma(1σ)的等时线年龄,首次厘定了该矿床成矿时代为新元古代,成岩成矿基本同时.通过对878 Ma硫化镍矿石初始Re-Os同位素体系的γOs计算和Re/Os值分析表明,其yOs和Re/Os值变化范围大,深部条带状矿石的Re/Os值仅为0.05,yOs为-6.70;块状矿石的Re/Os值范围为4.24～24.43,γOs为-15.37～+280.65,说明成矿过程中有壳源物质的混染;两件样品的γOs为负值(-15.37,-6.70),可能指示其超镁铁质岩浆来源于Re亏损地幔.煎茶岭超基性岩体年龄及其镍矿石的Re-Os等时线年龄与扬子克拉通北缘火山岩浆活动时间相对应,它们是扬子克拉通西北缘晋宁期构造岩浆成矿作用的产物.     

鲁西微山稀土矿床同位素特征及成矿物质来源指示

近年来,鲁西微山稀土矿找矿取得重要进展,特别是在钻孔岩心中发现新的矿石类型-细脉浸染状矿石。该类型矿石赋存于碱性杂岩体中,不同于以往的脉状碳酸盐-硫酸盐矿石。此类矿石的成因机制,特别是物质来源,尚不明确。为解决上述问题,本次研究对钻孔岩心中的细脉浸染状矿石开展了详细的方解石C-O同位素、硫化物和硫酸盐S同位素以及辉钼矿Re-Os同位素分析。分析结果显示,方解石的δ13CV-PDB值为-6.4‰～-7.6‰,δ18OV-PDB值为-19.6‰～-20.1‰（转换为δ18OV-SMOW值为10.1‰ ～ 10.7‰),硫化物的δ34SV-CDT值为-5.2‰～-7.0‰,硫酸盐的δ34SV-CDT值为δ34SV-CDT为4.1‰～7.3‰,均具有幔源特征。辉钼矿中Re含量为28.86×10-6,Os含量为0.03×10-9,显示壳幔混合特点。上述同位素特征表明成矿过程中具有幔源物质参与,且与矿区碱性杂岩体物质来源一致,暗示成矿流体可能来自幔源碱性岩浆分异。     

幕阜山南缘似斑状黑云母花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素组成及其地质意义

幕阜山复式花岗岩基南缘的长庆黑云母花岗岩与其内部Be伟晶岩呈渐变接触关系,为Be伟晶岩的母岩,其成岩时代及同位素特征可指示幕阜山地区黑云母花岗岩阶段的Be成矿时代及成矿物质来源。本次研究对长庆地区的似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年和Hf同位素组成测试,结果显示,该岩体成岩年龄为(142.9±0.9)Ma,代表了幕阜山复式花岗岩体黑云母花岗岩演化阶段的稀有金属成矿时代,此次成矿为华南地区中生代大规模成岩成矿作用的组成部分;继承锆石核的存在表明区域可能存在古老基底。长庆地区似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩的εHf(t)值主要变化于-9.2～-5.5,二阶段模式年龄主要为1.6～1.8 Ga,与幕阜山岩体不同类型花岗岩的εHf(t)和Hf同位素TDM2相近,暗示它们的源岩具有相似源区特征,为同源岩浆不同演化阶段的产物。此外,长庆似斑状黑云母二长花岗岩的源区物质中还有少量古元古代壳源物质(εHf(t)=-16)和新元古代地层物质加入,反映源区物质的复杂性。结合区域内其他年代学与同位素研究资料,表明幕阜山地区伟晶岩稀有金属成矿作用发生于早白垩世,岩浆连续分异演化过程中伴随着多阶段稀有金属成矿作用,最早在黑云母花岗岩阶段开始出现Be矿化,之后随着岩浆的分异演化程度不断增高,矿化规模越来越大,矿种由单一元素(Be)向综合演化(Be-Nb-Ta-Li)。成矿物质来源方面,幕阜山岩体锆石的TDM2与冷家溪群的锆石Hf同位素二阶段模式年龄的一个峰值(1.7～2.0 Ga)接近,表明二者的源岩在此时同时脱离地幔形成,为幕阜山岩体形成于冷家溪群部分熔融提供了支持,冷家溪群可能为稀有金属成矿提供了主要的物质来源。     

Chondritic osmium isotopic composition of Archean ophiolitic mantle, North China craton

Podiform chromitites are diagnostic but rare features of Phanerozoic ophiolites, and often contain the most pristine textural, chemical and isotopic record of convective upper mantle conditions extant during ophiolite genesis. Ophiolitic podiform chromitites, owing to their high Os concentrations and low Re/Os ratios provide the best evidence for the Os-isotopic evolution of oceanic mantle, but established records of ophiolitic chromites from bona fide Archean ophiolites are still lacking. We report Re–Os isotopic compositions of the world's oldest known ophiolitic podiform chromites from the 2.5 billion year old Dongwanzi–Zunhua ophiolite, North China. This provides the oldest Os isotope composition for the convective upper mantle yet obtained from ophiolitic podiform chromitites, and reveals a chondritic Os isotopic composition of the Archean convective upper mantle.     

Re–Os isotope evidence from Mesozoic and Cenozoic basalts for secular evolution of the mantle beneath the North China Craton

The mechanism and process of lithospheric thinning beneath the North China Craton (NCC) are still debated. A key criterion in distinguishing among the proposed mechanisms is whether associated continental basalts were derived from the thinning lithospheric mantle or upwelling asthenosphere. Herein, we investigate the possible mechanisms of lithospheric thinning based on a systematic Re–Os isotopic study of Mesozoic to Cenozoic basalts from the NCC. Our whole-rock Re–Os isotopic results indicate that the Mesozoic basalts generally have high Re and Os concentrations that vary widely from 97.2 to 839.4 ppt and 74.4 to 519.6 ppt, respectively. They have high initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios ranging from 0.1513 to 0.3805, with corresponding variable γ_Os(t) values (+20 to +202). In contrast, the Re–Os concentrations and radiogenic Os isotope compositions of the Cenozoic basalts are typically lower than those of the Mesozoic basalts. The lowest initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios of the Cenozoic basalts are 0.1465 and 0.1479, with corresponding γ_Os(t) values of +15 and +16, which are within the range of ocean island basalts. These new Re–Os isotopic results, combined with the findings of previous studies, indicate that the Mesozoic basalts were a hybrid product of the melting of pyroxenite and peridotite in ancient lithospheric mantle beneath the NCC. The Cenozoic basalts were derived mainly from upwelling asthenosphere mixed with small amounts of lithospheric materials. The marked differences in geochemistry between the Mesozoic and Cenozoic basalts suggest a greatly reduced involvement of lithospheric mantle as the magma source from the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic. The subsequent lithospheric thinning of the NCC and replacement by upwelling asthenospheric mantle resulted in a change to asthenosphere-derived Cenozoic basalts.     

岩石样品中低含量铂族元素和锇同位素比值的高精度测量方法

铂族元素（Os,Ir,Pt,Ru,Rh,Pd)具有强亲铁性和强亲铜性，为一组地球化学性质相近的相容元素，铂族元素包含两个同位素衰变体系（^190Pt-^186Os和^187Re-^187Os)。近年来，铂族元素和Re-Os同位素在研究各类不同地持作用过程中，尤其是在地幔岩石的研究中，作用独特，效果显著。由于地幔岩石的铂族元素含量较低，因此高精度，高灵敏度的分析测试方法的研究就显得十分重要。以往的分析方法（如常规的ICP－MS和中子活化分析方法），对含10^-9-10^012级低含量铂族元素的产品分析精度一般较差（＞15％－100％）。所采用的分析流程通常也无法同时获得样品的铂族元素含量和Os同位素比值。本文采用新的熔样方法（HAP－S高温高压釜酸溶法），新的化学流程（溶剂萃取和阴离子交换树脂柱）和新的分析仪器（多接收等离子体质谱MC－ICPMS和负离子热电离质谱N－TIMS）。用同位素稀释法对低含量地幔橄榄岩样品同时测定的铂族元素含量和Os同位素比值，获得了高精度的分析结果。对所分析的地橄榄样品中的铂族元素分配曲线和Os同位素组成的地质意义进行了初步探讨。     

The age of continental roots

Determination of the age of the mantle part of continental roots is essential to our understanding of the evolution and stability of continents. Dating the rocks that comprise the mantle root beneath the continents has proven difficult because of their high equilibration temperatures and open-system geochemical behaviour. Much progress has been made in the last 20 years that allows us to see how continental roots have evolved in different areas. The first indication of the antiquity of continental roots beneath cratons came from the enriched Nd and Sr isotopic signatures shown by both peridotite xenoliths and inclusions in diamonds, requiring isolation of cratonic roots from the convecting mantle for billions of years. The enriched Nd and Sr isotopic signatures result from mantle metasomatic events post-dating the depletion events that led to the formation and isolation of the peridotite from convecting mantle. These signatures document a history of melt– and fluid–rock interaction within the lithospheric mantle. In some suites of cratonic rocks, such as eclogites, Nd and Pb isotopes have been able to trace probable formation ages. The Re–Os isotope system is well suited to dating lithospheric peridotites because of the compatible nature of Os and its relative immunity to post-crystallisation disturbance compared with highly incompatible element isotope systems. Os isotopic compositions of lithospheric peridotites are overwhelmingly unradiogenic and indicate long-term evolution in low Re/Os environments, probably as melt residues. Peridotite xenoliths from kimberlites can show some disturbed Re/Os systematics but analyses of representative suites show that beneath cratons the oldest Re depletion model ages are Archean and broadly similar to major crust-forming events. Some locations, such as Premier in southern Africa, and Lashaine in Tanzania, indicate more recent addition of lithospheric material to the craton, in the Proterozoic, or later. Of the cratons studies so far (Kaapvaal, Siberia, Wyoming and Tanzania), all indicate Archean formation of their lithospheric mantle roots. Few localities studied show any clear variation of age with depth of derivation, indicating that >150 km of lithosphere may have formed relatively rapidly. In circum-cratonic areas where the crustal basement is Proterozoic in age kimberlite-derived xenoliths give Proterozoic model ages, matching the age of the overlying crust. This behaviour shows how the crust and mantle parts of continental lithospheric roots have remained coupled since formation in these areas, for billions of years, despite continental drift. Orogenic massifs show more systematic behaviour of Re–Os isotopes, where correlations between Os isotopic composition and S or Re content yield initial Os isotopic ratios that define Re depletion model ages for the massifs. Ongoing Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf–Os isotopic studies of massif peridotites and new kimberlite- and basalt-borne xenolith suites from new areas, will soon enable a global understanding of the age of continental roots and their subsequent evolution.     

Re-Os systematics of komatiites and komatiitic basalts at Dundonald Beach, Ontario, Canada: Evidence for a complex alteration history and implications of a late-Archean chondritic mantle source

Osmium isotopic compositions, and Re and Os concentrations have been examined in one komatiite unit and two komatiitic basalt units at Dundonald Beach, part of the 2.7 Ga Kidd-Munro volcanic assemblage in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Ontario, Canada. The komatiitic rocks in this locality record at least three episodes of alteration of Re-Os elemental and isotope systematics. First, an average of 40% and as much as 75% Re may have been lost due to shallow degassing during eruption and/or hydrothermal leaching during or immediately after emplacement. Second, the Re-Os isotope systematics of whole rock samples with ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os ratios >1 were reset at ∼2.5 Ga, possibly due to a regional metamorphic event. Third, there is evidence for relatively recent gain and loss of Re in some rocks.Despite the open-system behavior, some aspects of the Re-Os systematics of these rocks can be deciphered. The bulk distribution coefficient for Os (D_Os^solid/liquid) for the Dundonald rocks is ∼3 ± 1 and is well within the estimated D values obtained for komatiites from the nearby Alexo area and stratigraphically-equivalent komatiites from Munro Township. This suggests that Os was moderately compatible during crystal-liquid fractionation of the magmas parental to the Kidd-Munro komatiitic rocks. Whole-rock samples and chromite separates with low ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os ratios (<1) yield a precise chondritic average initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratio of 0.1083 ± 0.0006 (γ_Os = 0.0 ± 0.6) for their well-constrained ∼2715 Ma crystallization age. The chondritic initial Os isotopic composition of the mantle source for the Dundonald rocks is consistent with that determined for komatiites in the Alexo area and in Munro Township, suggesting that the mantle source region for the Kidd-Munro volcanic assemblage had evolved with a long-term chondritic Re/Os before eruption. The chondritic initial Os isotopic composition of the Kidd-Munro komatiites is indistinguishable from that of the projected contemporaneous convective upper mantle. The uniform chondritic Os isotopic composition of the Kidd-Munro komatiites contrasts with the typical large-scale Os isotopic heterogeneity in the mantle sources for ca. 89 Ma komatiites from the Gorgona Island, arc-related rocks and present-day ocean island basalts. This suggests that the Kidd-Munro komatiites sampled a late-Archean mantle source region that was significantly more homogeneous with respect to Re/Os relative to most modern mantle-derived rocks.     

苏皖地区幔源橄榄岩捕瞄虏体的锇同位素组成、模式年龄及其意义

苏皖地区发育的新生代玄武岩中富含地幔橄榄岩捕虏体，测定了25个橄榄岩全岩的锇同位素组成。结果表明大部分样品呈亏损特征,187Os/188Os=0.119～0.129.Os同位素比值与主量成分之间有显著的相关性.采用187Os/188Os-Al2O3代用等时线方法,由截距得到初始值(187Os/188Os)0=0.109,在对流地幔的187Os/188Os比值演化线上获得模式年龄t=2.5(±0.1)Ga,为晚太古-早元古代。用样品组中最低的锇同位素组成,即187Os/188Os=0.119,计算Re亏损模式年龄,t=1.2Ga,为中元古代。表明苏皖地区新生代玄武岩中的地幔橄榄岩捕虏体具有古老的形成年龄,它们是经过显生宙减薄作用后的残余地幔的碎片。大陆岩石圈地幔的古老形成年龄与上覆地壳克拉通的古老稳定年龄相耦合。     

The role of mantle-hybridization and crustal contamination in the petrogenesis of lithospheric mantle-derived alkaline rocks: constraints from Os and Hf isotopes

The Rhön area as part of the Central European Volcanic Province (CEVP) hosts an unusual suite of Tertiary 24-Ma old hornblende-bearing alkaline basalts that provide insights into melting and fractionation processes within the lithospheric mantle. These chemically primitive to slightly evolved and isotopically (Sr, Nd, Pb) depleted basalts have slightly lower Hf isotopic compositions than respective other CEVP basalts and Os isotope compositions more radiogenic than commonly observed for continental intraplate alkaline basalts. These highly radiogenic initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios (0.268–0.892) together with their respective Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic compositions are unlikely to result from crustal contamination alone, although a lack of Os data for lower crustal rocks from the area and limited data for CEVP basalts or mantle xenoliths preclude a detailed evaluation. Similarly, melting of the same metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle as inferred for other CEVP basalts alone is also unlikely, based on only moderately radiogenic Os isotope compositions obtained for upper mantle xenoliths from elsewhere in the province. Another explanation for the combined Nd, Sr and Os isotope data is that the lavas gained their highly radiogenic Os isotope composition through a mantle “hybridization”, metasomatism process. This model involves a mafic lithospheric component, such as an intrusion of a sublithospheric primary alkaline melt or a melt derived from subducted oceanic material, sometime in the past into the lithospheric mantle where it metasomatized the ambient mantle. Later at 24 Ma, thermal perturbations during rifting forced the isotopically evolved parts of the mantle together with the peridotitic ambient mantle to melt. This yielded a package of melts with highly correlated Re/Os ratios and radiogenic Os isotope compositions. Subsequent movement through the crust may have further altered the Os isotope composition although this effect is probably minor for the majority of the samples based on radiogenic Nd and unradiogenic Sr isotope composition of the lavas. If the radiogenic Os isotope composition can be explained by a mantle-hybridization and metasomatism model, the isotopic compositions of the hornblende basalts can be satisfied by ca. 5–25% addition of the mafic lithospheric component to an asthenospheric alkaline magma. Although a lack of isotope data for all required endmembers make this model somewhat speculative, the results show that the Re–Os isotope system in continental basalts is able to distinguish between crustal contamination and derivation of continental alkaline lavas from isotopically evolved peridotitic lithosphere that was contaminated by mafic material in the past and later remelted during rifting. The Hf isotopic compositions are slightly less radiogenic than in other alkaline basalts from the province and indicate the derivation of the lavas from low Lu–Hf parts of the lithospheric mantle. The new Os and Hf isotope data constrain a new light of the nature of such metasomatizing agents, at least for these particular rocks, which represent within the particular volcanic complex the first product of the volcanism.     

The petrogenesis of carbonatite, melnoite and kimberlite from the Eastern Goldfields Province, Yilgarn Craton

We have obtained major and trace element data for a suite of rocks emplaced over an area of 45,000 km² in the Eastern Goldfields Province (EGP), Yilgarn Craton, that are petrographically and mineralogically described as kimberlites, melnoites and carbonatites. Kimberlites dominate the rock types found in the west whereas carbonatites and melnoites are common in the east. Compatible element data from the carbonatites and melnoites tend to lie along trends that imply silicate–carbonate fractionation. The kimberlites exhibit a much greater amount of compatible element scatter as a result of the variable contribution from continental lithospheric mantle (CLM). When compared to southern African kimberlites, the EGP kimberlites have consistently lower MgO and Os concentrations at comparable Ni concentrations. The opposite is true for Ti–Ni variation where the EGP kimberlites have higher Ti than the southern African kimberlites at comparable Ni concentrations. These data are interpreted to suggest that the CLM beneath the province was either melt metasomatised some time prior to kimberlite emplacement, or that the EGP CLM is less refractory (melt depleted) than the Kaaapvaal CLM.

In contrast, the incompatible element ratios and initial Nd values are constant throughout the entire rock suite. Carbonate C and O isotope data show a broad positive correlation, consistent with magmatic-hydrothermal trends found in many carbonatite complexes. These incompatible element and isotope data link all of the rocks within the province to the same mantle source that was similar to modern-day mantle plume sources.

Re–Os data for the various samples, including oxide minerals from all of the petrographic types, xenocryst-poor kimberlites and melnoites yield a precise Re–Os isochron of 2025±10 Ma and an initial γOs of 5.3±3.1 (MSWD=5.8). These data support the conclusion based on incompatible element, stable isotope and Sm–Nd isotope data that the rocks are comagmatic.

Initial Os isotopic compositions and Re/Os ratios for the xenocryst-rich kimberlites are also correlated. However, the correlation does not pass through the calculated initial γOs and Re/Os of the isochron. The Re–Os data show that the incompatible element-enriched melt exhibited very little control on the Re–Os variations of the xenocryst-rich kimberlites.

Correlations between deep mantle seismic velocities, petrology and whole-rock compatible element geochemistry suggest that the rheology and history of the EGP CLM played a significant role in determining the petrographic characteristics of the magmas that were ultimately emplaced into the EGP crust.     

Re-Os同位素体系在蛇绿岩应用研究中的进展

Re-Os不同于由亲石元素构成的同位素体系，在原始上地幔（PUN）部分熔融过程中，母体Re是中等不相容元素，优先进入熔体相，子体Os是强相容元素，富集在残留相中，是研究蛇绿岩的极好示踪剂。在蛇绿岩应用研究中已经取得了4个方面的进展：（1）明确了熔体相的Re／Os和^187Os／^188Os比值高，而残留相的低；（2）铬铁矿中铂族元素矿物（PGM）的Re亏损年龄（TRD）证实了蛇绿岩中复杂的超镁铁岩体是多阶段部分熔融的产物；（3）现代大洋橄榄岩和玄武岩的Re-Os同位素研究表明熔体相和残留相的^187Os／^188Os比值在高于亏损地幔值（DMM）的部分是一致的，而低于DMM的存在不一致性，为研究蛇绿岩中熔体相与残留相是否存在“耦合”关系提供了新的制约因素；（4）揭示了蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩中含有古大陆岩石圈地幔，这是前所未知的。虽然取得了不少进展，但是由于Re-Os同位素体系用于蛇绿岩研究的时间较短，尚存在一些问题，如显生宙蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩的定年问题，有待进一步深化研究。     

特提斯洋对流上地幔Os同位素组成估算的新方法及初步运用

对流上地幔Os同位素组成的准确估算是运用Re-Os同位素体系探讨地幔演化的基础。前人研究主要是以地幔橄榄岩为研究对象,由于地幔橄榄岩Os同位素存在明显的不均一性,因而直接影响估算值的准确性。对流上地幔中包含的不同亏损程度的难熔组分在部分熔融过程中难以熔融,对形成的熔体相的Os同位素组成贡献很少或者没有。因此,与对流上地幔具有相同的Os同位素组成初始值的早期分离结晶岩石(如堆晶岩),结合堆晶岩中锆石的准确定年,可以用来估算对流上地幔Os同位素组成。本文根据这一方法测试了那曲地区弧后盆地堆晶岩的Os同位素组成和锆石U-Pb年龄,推测那曲地区新特提斯洋对流上地幔Os同位素组成为碳质球粒陨石型的。根据这一模型,对比了罗布莎和东巧铬铁矿岩、含矿围岩以及不含矿围岩的Os同位素特征,揭示出矿石及围岩均具有古老大陆岩石圈地幔信息,而不含矿围岩(泽当岩体)的Os同位素组成为碳质球粒陨石型的,无古老大陆岩石圈地幔信息。
