内蒙中部苏左旗早石炭世火山岩年代学与地球化学研究：对中亚造山带东部石炭纪构造演化和地壳属性的制约

本文对苏尼特左旗北部沙尔塔拉地区原定早二叠世大石寨组火山岩进行了系统的岩相学、LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年、主微量元素和锆石Hf同位素研究。定年结果显示,该套地层中火山岩的形成时代可分为～3465Ma和3351Ma两期,其岩石组合分别为玄武安山岩-安山岩-英安岩-流纹岩和英安岩-流纹岩,其形成时代为早石炭世,而非前人认为的早二叠世。玄武安山岩具有高Al_2O_3( 17%),低MgO含量(243%～270%)和Cr、Co、Ni的特点,可能是高温低压和含少量水条件下母岩浆经历了橄榄石和辉石(早)以及斜长石(晚)等分离结晶作用的产物;相对富集轻稀土元素、大离子亲石元素(如Rb、Ba、Sr)以及Pb、Zr和Hf,亏损重稀土元素和Nb、Ta和Ti,具有较高的正ε_(Hf)(t)值(892～1379),同时存在大量434～490Ma的捕获锆石,表明早石炭世早期玄武安山岩的原始岩浆应起源于陆内伸展机制下受早期俯冲流体交代的亏损岩石圈地幔部分熔融,并经历了一定程度的地壳混染。英安岩和流纹岩的主微量元素特征(富硅、铝,贫铁、镁,富集LREEs和LILEs,亏损HREEs和HSFEs等)和锆石Hf同位素组成(ε_(Hf)(t)值分别为797～1214和835～1471,t_(DM2)分别为838～577Ma和812～407Ma),暗示它们的原始岩浆主体来源于新元古代末期和早古生代新增生的地壳部分熔融,同时,335Ma英安岩和流纹岩显示出高温(平均值为876℃)和A型花岗岩的特征,表明它们形成于陆壳伸展环境。安山岩的地球化学特征显示其岩浆可能是上述中基性和酸性岩浆混合的产物。另外,研究区石炭纪以新增生地壳的部分熔融为主,而且酸性火山岩锆石Hft_(DM2)整体随岩浆活动时代变新而变年轻。综上所述,早石炭世早期玄武安山岩表现出板内成因特点,安山岩具有岩浆混合成因,玄武安山岩与同时代英安岩-流纹岩共同构成了双峰式火山岩组合,从而表明研究区早石炭世早期已经处于陆内伸展环境;而早石炭世中期酸性火山岩的形成也进一步揭示了伸展作用的持续进行。结合前人沉积、变质作用等方面的研究成果,本文认为研究区石炭纪所记录的拉张环境可能与古亚洲洋在泥盆纪闭合后的伸展环境有关。     

木其滩岩组形成时代、地球化学特征——对北秦岭构造演化的制约

出露于北秦岭造山带中的木其滩岩组主要由斜长角闪岩组成,其原岩为玄武岩-亚碱性玄武岩。对木其滩岩组斜长角闪岩中的锆石进行LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学分析,获得同位素年龄762.5±4.6Ma,为成岩年龄。地球化学上,这些斜长角闪岩显示低钛 (TiO₂=0.57%~2.16%),低K₂O/Na₂O比值(0.06~0.55)和中等-高 Mg^#(45.3~68.7)特征,为低钛拉斑玄武岩。在球粒陨石标准化图解中,表现出轻重稀土分异,无Eu异常的特征,类似于E-MORB。这些斜长角闪岩以Rb、Ba、Th和La富集,低(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i 比 (0.7038~0.7040) 和高的ε_Nd(t)值(+4.1~+6.9)为特征,表明其来源于地幔,成分上相似于FOZO。(Th/Nb)_N, Nb/La 和 Ba/La的比值特征表明它们经历了不同程度的地壳混染。所有这些特征,结合区域地质资料阐明木其滩岩组斜长角闪岩代表的是大约762.5±4.6Ma商丹洋盆初始裂解时的洋壳残片。     

新疆谢米斯台布拉特矿化次火山岩的年代学、地球化学特征及其地质、成矿意义

布拉特矿化次火山岩出露于谢米斯台中部,岩性主要为英安斑岩和流纹斑岩。本文通过锆石U-Pb年代学、岩石地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素等研究,探讨其形成的构造环境、成因及成矿意义。结果表明,英安斑岩形成年龄为434.9±2.3Ma,属高钾钙碱性-钾玄岩系列准铝质-强过铝质岩石;岩石稀土总量中等(∑REE=97.9×10~(-6)～107×10~(-6)),富集轻稀土且轻重稀土分异明显((La/Yb)_N=7.93～9.95),具较弱铕负异常(δEu=0.78～0.90),相对富集Rb、Th、U、K等元素,亏损Nb、Ta、P、Ti等元素;岩石具有低的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i值(0.7036～0.7043)和正的ε_(Nd)(t)值(+2.64～+5.01),t_(DM1)(Nd)=750～930Ma。流纹斑岩形成年龄为423.2±0.9Ma,属高钾钙碱性-钾玄岩系列准铝质-强过铝质岩石;稀土总量中等(∑REE=65.3×10~(-6)～127×10~(-6)),富集轻稀土且轻重稀土分异明显((La/Yb)_N=6.82～8.24),具较强铕负异常(δEu=0.51～0.71),相对富集Rb、Th、U、K等元素,亏损Nb、Ta、P、Ti等元素;岩石具有低的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i值(0.7022～0.7038)和正的ε_(Nd)(t)值(+2.86～+5.78),t_(DM1)(Nd)=680～940Ma;锆石ε_(Hf)(t)=+9.8～+14.9,t_(DM2)(Hf)=456～783Ma。综合研究表明,布拉特矿化英安斑岩和流纹斑岩是不同岩浆演化结晶的产物,二者都形成于活动大陆边缘弧环境,可能是新生下地壳部分熔融形成的花岗质岩浆与部分源自地幔楔的玄武质岩浆发生混合、向上运移、冷凝结晶的产物。较晚形成的流纹斑岩岩浆形成过程中新生下地壳部分熔融的比例有所降低,熔出的岩浆相对更偏酸性;谢米斯台地区以志留纪-早泥盆世火山岩、次火山岩和中酸性侵入体为代表的岩浆岩带为一个主体形成于早古生代的陆缘弧岩浆岩带,是形成和寻找斑岩型铜矿的有利地区。     

内蒙古莫尔道嘎地区晚三叠世-早侏罗世花岗岩的年代学、地球化学及其地质意义

本文对内蒙古莫尔道嘎地区(额尔古纳地块)花岗质岩石行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学研究, 确定其形成时代、岩石成因, 从而揭示区域构造背景。莫尔道嘎地区花岗岩中的锆石均呈半自形-自形, 震荡生长环带明显, 暗示其岩浆成因。测年结果显示, 研究区花岗岩可划分为两个期次: 晚三叠世(~216Ma)和早侏罗世(201~195Ma)。莫尔道嘎地区晚三叠世-早侏罗世花岗岩的地球化学属性相似, 它们具有高硅(SiO₂=67.09%~77.05%)、富铝(Al₂O₃=12.18%~16.83%)、贫铁(Fe₂O₃^T=1.30%~3.48%)等特征, 属于准铝质-过铝质(A/CNK=0.97~1.13)、高钾钙碱性系列, 具有I型花岗岩的地球化学属性。此外, 晚三叠世-早侏罗世花岗岩相对富集大离子亲石元素(LILEs)和轻稀土元素(LREEs), 亏损重稀土元素(HREEs)和高场强元素(HFSEs, Nb、Ta、P、Ti等), 具有与俯冲带环境下形成的火成岩类似的特征。额尔古纳地块上同时期的钙碱性系列岩石组合的发现, 进一步表明莫尔道嘎地区晚三叠世-早侏罗世花岗岩形成于活动大陆边缘环境。结合前人对东北地区中生代火成岩时空变异分布特征的研究, 本文莫尔道嘎地区晚三叠世-早侏罗世花岗质岩体形成与蒙古-鄂霍茨克大洋板片南向俯冲作用密切相关。

     

三江盆地北缘晚白垩世花岗质岩石的年代学、地球化学及其构造意义

本文报道了黑龙江东部三江盆地北缘花岗质岩石的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果、全岩地球化学和锆石Hf同位素资料,以确定该区花岗质岩石的形成时代、源区性质及其构造属性.花岗质岩石中的锆石多呈自形-半自形晶,振荡环带发育,Th/U比值=0.32 ～ 1.09,指示其岩浆成因.对岩浆锆石的定年结果表明,这些花岗质岩石均形成于晚白垩世(88.9 ～95.1Ma),而非前人认为的晚印支期.该期花岗质岩石均为含角闪石黑云母花岗闪长岩,它们的SiO2含量主要在63.9％～68.1％之间,Na2O =3.03％～4.25％,K2O =2.28％ ～3.27％,Na2O/K2O=1.06 ～ 1.73,A/CNK=0.94 ～ 1.08;稀土配分模式均呈右倾型,除了个别样品外,它们的LREE/HREE=8.13 ～ 15.5,(La/Yb)N =8.61 ～21.0,δEu =0.82～1.11;在微量元素蛛网图上表现为大离子亲石元素(Rb、Ba、K)的富集和高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf)及P的亏损;锆石εHf(t)值介于+4.44～ +9.00之间,二阶段Hf模式年龄(tDM2)介于583 ～ 875Ma之间.上述特征表明,该期花岗质岩石具有准铝质-弱过铝质的高钾-中钾钙碱性Ⅰ型花岗岩的成因类型,源区岩石为新增生的陆壳物质,岩浆起源于深部陆壳基性火成岩的部分熔融.结合同时代火成岩的组合特征和区域构造演化历史,认为该区晚白垩世花岗质岩石形成于古太平洋板块向东亚大陆下俯冲所产生的活动大陆边缘环境,该期岩浆事件标志着古太平洋板块正向(北西向)俯冲作用的开始.     

Petrology,geochemistry and geochronology of the Zhongcang ophiolite,northern Tibet: implications for the evolution of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean

Ophiolites are widespread along the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone, northern Tibet. However, it is still debated on the formation ages and tectonic evolution process of these ophiolites. The Zhongcang ophiolite is a typical ophiolite in the western part of the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone. It is composed of serpentinized peridotite, cumulate and isotropic gabbros, massive and pillow basalts, basaltic volcanic breccia, and minor red chert. Zircon SHRIMP Ue Pb dating for the isotropic gabbro yielded weighted mean age of 163.4 ± 1.8 Ma. Positive zircon ε Hf(t) values(+15.0 to +20.2) and mantle-like σ~(18)O values(5.29 ±0.21)% indicate that the isotropic gabbros were derived from a long-term depleted mantle source. The isotropic gabbros have normal mid-ocean ridge basalt(N-MORB) like immobile element patterns with high Mg O, low TiO_2 and moderate rare earth element(REE) abundances, and negative Nb,Ti, Zr and Hf anomalies. Basalts show typical oceanic island basalt(OIB) geochemical features, and they are similar to those of OIB-type rocks of the Early Cretaceous Zhongcang oceanic plateau within the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean. Together with these data, we suggest that the Zhongcang ophiolite was probably formed by the subduction of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean during the Middle Jurassic. The subduction of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean could begin in the Earlye Middle Jurassic and continue to the Early Cretaceous, and finally continental collision between the Lhasa and Qiangtang terranes at the west Bangong-Nujiang suture zone probably has taken place later than the Early Cretaceous(ca. 110 Ma).     

Geochronology and geochemistry of Grenvillian igneous suites in the northern Oaxacan Complex, southern Mexico: tectonic implications

Chemical and U–Pb isotopic analyses of metaigneous rocks in the northern Oaxacan Complex in southern Mexico indicate that they form part of two granitic–gabbroic suites intruded at 1157–1130 and 1012 Ma, which were metamorphosed under granulite facies conditions between 1004 and 980 Ma. Although the older suite has both within-plate and arc geochemical signatures, the arc characteristics (enrichment of La and Ce relative to Nb, Ta, and Th) are inferred to result from crustal contamination, a conclusion consistent with their negative _Nd signatures. The younger suite is spatially associated with anorthosites (from which we were unable to acquire a protolith age), suggesting that collectively it forms part of anorthosite–mangerite–charnockite–granite (AMCG) suites. The tholeiitic nature of the mafic rocks along with the within-plate character of the felsic rocks suggests that they were intruded during extension related to either farfield backarc rifting, rifting above a slab window, or anorogenic intercontinental rifting. Potentially correlative AMCG suites are widespread in Mexico, the Grenville Province of eastern Canada and northeastern USA, and the Andean massifs of Colombia, however, Pb isotopic data most closely resemble those in South America. These data are consistent with published hypotheses that suggest Oaxaquia represents an exotic terrane derived from Amazonia.     

达拉布特蛇绿岩带的时限和属性以及对西准噶尔晚古生代构造演化的讨论

萨尔托海附近的也格孜卡拉花岗岩侵入到达拉布特蛇绿岩带中,为典型的"钉合岩体",其锆石SHRIMPU-Pb年龄结果为308±3Ma(MSWD=0.83),限定了达拉布特蛇绿岩带侵位时限不晚于308Ma,同时达拉布特蛇绿岩中辉长岩的年龄(Sm-Nd等时线年龄395Ma;LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄391Ma),给出了达拉布特蛇绿岩带的形成年龄。达拉布特蛇绿岩带两侧地层均为下石炭统,为稳定火山-沉积序列,岩石组合特征相同,具有很好的可对比性,表明达拉布特蛇绿岩带不是分隔两侧不同板块的板块缝合带。在综合分析前人板片窗、增生楔等不同构造模型的基础上,提出残余洋盆的被动垮塌充填是西准噶尔地区晚古生代构造演化的主要形式,残余洋盆闭合过程中可能伴随着洋壳俯冲过程,侵入于西准增生杂岩的多个花岗岩体和闪长岩墙,限定了西准晚古生代增生作用不晚于晚石炭世。     

内蒙古贺根山蛇绿岩形成时代及构造启示

贺根山蛇绿岩位于兴蒙造山带北缘,发育完整的地幔橄榄岩、堆晶岩和基性熔岩组合,伴生有放射虫硅质岩,但贺根山蛇绿岩的形成时代一直存在争议,给兴蒙造山带北部构造演化阶段划分造成了很大障碍。锆石U-Pb年代学研究表明,贺根山蛇绿岩中辉长闪长岩(341±3Ma)和玄武岩(359±5Ma)结晶年龄为早石炭世早期,同时玄武岩继承锆石峰值年龄为晚泥盆世早期(375±2Ma),这些继承锆石呈短柱状、棱角状,生长环带宽缓,多为补丁状、平坦状,为典型的基性岩浆锆石,表明最迟在晚泥盆世早期洋壳物质已经开始形成。上石炭统格根敖包组火山岩与蛇绿岩局部呈喷发不整合接触,该组的晶屑凝灰岩夹层时代为晚石炭世(323±3Ma),提供了蛇绿岩构造侵位年龄的上限。因此,将贺根山蛇绿岩形成时代定为晚泥盆世-早石炭世,侵位时代为晚石炭世。侵入地幔橄榄岩中的部分基性岩脉时代为早白垩世(132±1Ma、139±3Ma和120±1Ma),它们含有大量继承锆石(144±1Ma~2698±25Ma),继承锆石峰值年龄密切响应了兴蒙造山带北部早白垩世之前复杂的岩浆及构造事件,这些基性岩脉是燕山期伸展环境下的岩浆产物,并非早白垩世蛇绿岩。结合前人的工作成果和区域岩浆岩、地层时空分布特征,建立了兴蒙造山带北部晚古生代构造演化历程:二连贺根山一线早泥盆世处于剥蚀阶段,中泥盆世陆壳拉张出现新生洋盆,晚泥盆世早期洋盆持续扩张形成新生洋壳,早石炭世晚期洋壳开始向北俯冲消减,并持续增生至西伯利亚活动陆缘,晚石炭世洋盆陆续闭合,部分已经构造侵位的蛇绿岩被晚石炭世火山岩不整合覆盖,贺根山蛇绿岩正是该洋盆的残余产物。     

江南造山带西南段宰便辉绿岩年代学、地球化学及其构造意义SCIEI北大核心CSCD

宰便地区位于江南造山带西南段,发育有一系列新元古代镁铁质-超镁铁质火成岩。然而,其成因与构造背景仍存在广泛争议。因此,本文选择江南造山带西南段宰便辉绿岩为研究对象,系统开展岩石学、地球化学、Nd-Hf同位素和锆石U-Pb年代学研究。研究结果表明,辉绿岩具有高Mg^(#)(50~69)、高Al_(2)O_(3)(13.94%~18.63%)、低钾(0.03%~0.33%)、低磷(0.04%~0.28%)特征,显示为低钾拉斑系列岩石特点。同时,岩石整体相对富集Th、U等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb和Y等高场强元素,Eu具有微弱负异常特征。辉绿岩的Nb/Ta、Zr/Nb比值揭示了母岩浆在岩浆侵位过程中未发生地壳混染。3件样品的锆石U-Pb年龄分别为820.7±3.0Ma、821.1±9.2Ma和823.1±9.5Ma,表明岩浆侵位时代为新元古代早期。锆石ε_(Hf)(t)值介于-13.6~7.7之间,Hf的t_(DM2)值介于1214~2547Ma之间,结合全岩地球化学特征,揭示其原始岩浆可能源于富集地幔,并伴有一定的亏损地幔参与。综合前人和本次研究的地质、地球化学和年代学数据,本文认为江南造山带西南段宰便地区在新元古代早期处于板内构造环境。     

赣南早古生代晚期花岗岩类年代学、地球化学及岩石成因

本文研究了赣南会同岩体花岗岩类及其闪长质包体的岩石学、锆石U-Pb定年和Hf同位素以及全岩主量、微量元素地球化学。会同岩体花岗岩年龄为425.8±6.2Ma,花岗闪长岩包体为425.0±4.1Ma,侵入年龄约为425Ma,属于早古生代晚期的志留纪。岩体总体为过铝质到强过铝质(A/CNK=1.05~1.28)、高钾钙碱性系列岩石;花岗岩和包体的微量元素和稀土元素特征一致,均富集Rb、Th、U、K、Pb,亏损Ba、Sr、P、Ti,Eu负异常明显。岩石属于S型花岗岩。花岗岩和包体ε_Hf(t)均为负值,变化范围大(分别为-13.7~-3.3,-8.4~-3.2),Hf同位素地壳模式年龄较老(总体为1.6~2.3Ga)。结合前人资料,认为早古生代晚期赣南地区,在后碰撞伸展背景下,发生了大范围的成熟地壳的强烈再造和深熔作用,源于中、下地壳的熔体在约425Ma侵位形成中酸性岩浆,再向上侵位形成会同岩体。     

新疆博格达造山带晚古生代构造-岩浆演化过程:火山岩组合及地球化学证据

最近,笔者在博格达山东段北部的西地-伊齐-小红柳峡一带的地质调查中发现,该区发育有大量晚石炭世柳树沟组双峰式火山岩及早二叠世卡拉岗组酸性火山岩建造,但双峰式火山岩性质及成因有别于其南侧七角井早石炭世双峰式火山岩。玄武岩富钠贫钾(K_2O=0.18%～0.45%,Na_2O=2.24%～3.63%),属拉斑系列;TiO_2=1.6%～1.7%,略高于MORB,较高的Al(Al_2O_3=16.2%～16.7%)、高Mg(MgO=8.12%～9.54%,Mg~#=61～64),以及低K_2O/TiO_2和K_2O/P_2O_5比值(分别为0.1～0.27、0.63～1.68),反映了在岩浆演化过程中分离结晶作用不明显;Rb/Sr比值0.01～0.02,Zr/Nb=21.6～39.7,Zr/Y=5.38～7.47,以及不相容元素Ba、Zr、Hf相对略富集、Nb-Ta和Th相对亏损,显示岩石具有板内玄武岩的特点;稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分图上整体接近于平坦型,(La/Yb)_N=1.8～1.9,Eu无异常至轻微正异常(δEu=1.07～1.12),正ε_(Nd)(t)值(+5.63～+5.89),(~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd)_I=0.512927～0.512944,Th/Yb0.2,Ta/Yb=0.1,表明玄武岩浆源于亏损软流圈地幔,且在演化过程中不曾发生过斜长石的分离结晶作用,并暗示当时的大陆地壳可能由于拉张而变得较薄,玄武岩浆形成后快速上升至地表喷发。双峰式火山岩中的流纹岩Rb-Sr等时线年龄为296±2Ma(1σ),具高Si(SiO_2=76%～80%),富钾贫钠(K_2O=5.1%～5.7%,Na_2O=0.94%～2.03%);低Al(Al_2O_3=7.9%～10.4%);低Ti、Ca和P含量,属高钾钙碱性系列;微量元素Rb、Th、Zr、Hf、K相对富集,Ba、Sr、P、Ti、Nb、Ta为显著亏损;轻稀土元素适度富集且轻、重稀土分馏程度低,(La/Yb)_N=5.1～7.1,(La/Sm)_N=2、(Gd/Yb)_N=1.6～2.2,以及强烈的负Eu异常(δEu=0.17～0.2),(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_I=0.7051～0.7052,δ~(18)O=11.6‰,指示岩石源于地壳物质的部分熔融,源区存在有斜长石残留,形成于大陆裂谷环境。早二叠世末流纹岩(Rb-sr等时线年龄为278±2Ma)具高Si(SiO_2=74%),富钾贫钠(K_2O/Na_2O2),低Al(Al_2O_3=11.0%)以及较低的Ti和P含量的特征,岩石为高钾钙碱性系列;微量元素PM标准化图解上表现为Rb、Ba、Th、U、K、La、Ce不相容元素相对富集,高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti以及Sr为明显的负异常;轻稀土轻度富集,(La/Yb)_N=5～6,(La/Sm)_N=3,(Gd/Yb)_N=1.3～1.4,以及强烈的负Eu异常(δEu=0.31～0.39),(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_I为0.7069,δ~(18)O=11.97‰,指示源于地壳物质部分熔融的产物,形成于伸展垮塌的构造环境。综合研究结果表明,博格达山前身裂谷岩浆作用始于早石炭世,结束于晚石炭世末期,早二叠世末进入后造山伸展的演化阶段。     

高黎贡构造带花岗岩的年代学和地球化学及其构造意义

产于高黎贡山脉的花岗岩（简称高黎贡花岗岩）记录中生代以来高黎贡构造带形成、演化的全部过程,高黎贡花岗岩的成因研究对于查明东喜马拉雅构造结的形成和演化乃至整个冈底斯地块的演化过程具有重要意义.高黎贡花岗岩为一套由黑云母二长花岗岩、二云母二长花岗岩、花岗岩组成的花岗质杂岩体,空间上构成一条南北向分布的挟持于怒江剪切带和龙川江剪切带之间狭长透镜体.地球化学特征研究揭示,高黎贡花岗岩为高钾钙碱性、过铝-强过铝花岗岩,其岩浆来源于中、下地壳前寒武纪变质岩的深熔作用.花岗岩源区成分不均一,以变质硬砂岩为主,并含有变质玄武岩,形成于岛弧-陆陆碰撞环境.SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年表明,高黎贡花岗岩形成于早白垩世晚期（126～118Ma）,其年龄、地球化学特征与拉萨地块北缘花岗岩一致,说明它为冈底斯构造岩浆岩带的东延部分,是中特提斯怒江洋洋壳向南俯冲和海洋闭合过程的岩浆响应,而与新特提斯雅鲁藏布江洋的演化无关.     

An early Paleoproterozoic high-K intrusive complex in southwestern Tarim Block, NW China: Age, geochemistry, and tectonic implications

Systematic geochronologic, geochemical, and Nd isotopic analyses were carried out for an early Paleoproterozoic high-K intrusive complex exposed in southwestern Tarim, NW China. The results provide a better understanding of the Paleoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Tarim Block. Zircon U–Pb age dating indicates two Paleoproterozoic magmatic episodes occurring at ca. 2.41 Ga and ca. 2.34 Ga respectively, which were followed by a ca. 1.9 Ga metamorphic event. The 2.41 Ga granodiorite–adamellite suite shares characteristics of late to post-orogenic metaluminous A-type granites in its high alkalinity (Na₂O + K₂O = 7.6–9.3%), total REE (410–788 ppm), Zr (370–660 ppm), and Y (21.7–58.4 ppm) contents. εNd(t) values for the suite range from − 3.22 to − 4.71 and accordingly the Nd modal ages (T_2DM) vary between 3.05 Ga and 3.17 Ga. Based on geochemical data, the 2.34 Ga suite can be subdivided into two sub-suites, namely A-type and S-type. However, both types have comparable Nd isotope compositions (εNd(t) ≈ − 0.41 to − 2.08) and similar narrow T_2DM ranges (2.76–2.91 Ga).Geochemical and Nd isotopic data for the high-K intrusive complex, in conjunction with the regional geological setting, suggest that both the 2.41 Ga suite and the 2.34 Ga A-type sub-suite might have been produced by partial melting of the Archean mafic crust in a continental rift environment. The S-type sub-suite is thought to have formed by partial melting of felsic pelites and/or metagreywackes recycled from Archean crust (TTG?). Gabbro enclaves with positive εNd(t) value (2.15) have been found to be intermingling within the 2.34 Ga suite; ca. 2.34–2.36 Ga gabbroic dykes and adamellites have previously been documented in eastern Tarim. These observations indicate that the high-K intrusions may reflect the emergence of depleted mantle upwelling beneath the Tarim Block at that time. We suggest a three-stages model for the Precambrian crustal evolution in the Tarim Block: (1) the formation of proto-crust (TTG) by ca. 2.5 Ga, (2) episodes of felsic magmatism possibly occurring in continental rift environments at ca. 2.41 Ga and ca. 2.34–2.36 Ga, and (3) ca. 1.9 Ga metamorphism that may represent the solidification of the Precambrian basement of the Tarim Block.

本文对孙吴地区白云母花岗岩行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学研究,确定其形成时代、岩石成因,从而揭示区域构造背景。孙吴地区白云母花岗岩中的锆石均呈半自形-自形,振荡生长环带明显,暗示其岩浆成因。测年结果显示,白云母花岗岩形成于168Ma,为中侏罗世岩浆事件的产物。岩体具有高硅(Si O2=74.61%~80.16%)、富铝(Al2O3=10.59%~13.90%)、贫铁(Fe2O3=0.11%~0.3%)等特征,在化学上属于准铝质-过铝质(A/CNK=0.97~1.13)系列。孙吴地区白云母花岗相对富集轻稀土元素(LREEs)和大离子亲石元素(LILEs),亏损重稀土元素(HREEs)和高场强元素(HFSEs)。锆石的εHf(168Ma)=+7.53~+11.66,二阶段的模式年龄(tDM2)变化于595~966Ma之间。上述特征表明,孙吴地区中侏罗世白云母花岗岩的岩浆起源于新增生加厚陆壳物质的部分熔融。结合在大兴安岭与小兴安岭衔接地区变质杂岩和冀北-辽西地区区域性地层不整合面的存在,表明大兴安岭西坡-冀北-辽西地区中侏罗世经历了一次与蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋闭合有关的陆壳加厚过程。因此,研究区内中侏罗世白云母花岗岩的形成应与蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋闭合过程中的陆-陆碰撞作用有关,而与古环太平洋向欧亚大陆的俯冲作用无关,其形成时代也限定额尔古纳地块西北部蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋的闭合时间应为中侏罗世。     

The Grenvillian Songshugou ophiolite in the Qinling Mountains, Central China: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Qinling orogenic belt

The Qinling Mountains in Central China mark a gigantic composite orogenic belt with a complex tectonic evolution involving multiple phases of rifting and convergence. This belt separates the North China and South China Blocks and consists of the South and North Qinling terranes separated by the Shangdan suture. The suture is marked by the Grenvillian Songshugou ophiolite along the southern margin of the North Qinling terrane, which is key to understanding the Proterozoic tectonic evolution of the belt. The ophiolite consists of highly metamorphosed ultramafic and mafic rocks. Three groups of meta-basalts are present: group 1 rocks are LREE depleted and have a MORB compositional affinity. Their low Ta/Yb ratios (<0.1) are consistent with high degrees of partial melting of a depleted asthenospheric mantle. Rocks of group 2 have higher TiO₂ (1.63–2.08 wt%) and Ta/Yb ratios (>0.12), and display slight enrichment of LREE, suggesting that the original magmas were derived from a depleted mantle source mixed with some enriched material. Samples from group 3 are enriched in LREE and other incompatible elements (Ti, Zr, Ta, Nb), suggesting derivation from an enriched mantle source, possibly a plume. All the basalts have high εNd(t) (+4.2 to +6.9), variable εSr(t) and high ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios for given ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb ratios. These characteristics are compatible with formation at a mid-ocean ridge system above an anomalous Dupal mantle region. The mafic rocks have a Sm–Nd whole-rock isochron age of 1030 ± 46 Ma.The Songshugou ophiolite was emplaced onto the southern margin of the North Qinling terrane, an active continental margin from the Meso-Proterozoic to Neo-Proterozoic.     

Geology and geochemistry of the Shuanggou ophiolite (Ailao Shan ophiolitic belt), Yunnan Province, SW China: Evidence for a slow-spreading oceanic basin origin

The early Carboniferous Shuanggou ophiolite lies in the middle segment of the Ailao Shan orogenic belt between the South China Block to the north and the Indochina Block to the south. The ophiolite consists of meta-peridotite, gabbro, diabase and basalt, capped by radiolarian-bearing siliceous rocks. No layered gabbros or sheeted dikes have been observed. The meta-peridotite underwent low degrees of partial melting, consistent with the low magma budget of this oceanic lithosphere. Whole-rock rare earth element analyses of gabbro indicate a geochemical affinity with normal mid-ocean ridge basalts, consistent with the crystallization order of plagioclase followed by clinopyroxene recognized in the gabbros. The ophiolite is believed to have formed in a small, slow-spreading oceanic basin. Collision of the Indochina Block with the South China Block in the late Paleozoic was responsible for the closure of the oceanic basin and emplacement of the ophiolite in the Ailao Shan orogenic belt.     

北山造山带白云山地区蛇绿混杂岩结构、组成特征与形成时代

红柳河-洗肠井蛇绿混杂岩带位于内蒙古北山造山带中部,呈北西西向展布,向东延伸至白云山-洗肠井蛇绿混杂岩带,向西延伸至牛圈子-红柳园蛇绿混杂岩带。在白云山地区,蛇绿混杂岩由不同类型的岩块与基质组成,基质具有分带性,南侧以砂板岩基质为主,北侧以蛇纹岩基质及绿泥钠长片岩基质为主,反映了俯冲增生杂岩的特征。其中基性熔岩大面积发育,岩性以绿泥钠长片岩及变质玄武岩为主,TAS及AFM图解显示基性熔岩具有拉斑玄武岩的特征,微量元素蛛网图中具有弱Nb-Ta负异常及弱Sr正异常,稀土元素配分曲线显示了轻重稀土基本未分馏的曲线型式,微量元素系列判别图解显示了类似于MORB-like玄武岩的地球化学特征。由此可见,白云山地区基性熔岩为MORB-like玄武岩,反映了蛇绿混杂岩形成于弧前的构造背景。此外,本次工作获得侵入基性熔岩中的斜长花岗岩锆石²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U加权平均年龄为519.8±2.1Ma,ε_Hf（t）-t图解显示了斜长花岗岩为地幔分异的产物。微量元素蛛网图中Nb-Ta亏损、右倾的稀土配分曲线及Th/Yb-Nb/Yb图解反映了斜长花岗岩具有岛弧岩浆岩的特征。对比研究区晚寒武世岛弧钙碱性辉长岩,我们认为白云山地区早寒武世发育MORB-like玄武岩,中-晚寒武世为岛弧钙碱性辉长岩及斜长花岗岩,反映了初始俯冲-正常俯冲的岩浆作用。     

Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt in NE China

The eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) in NE China is a key area for investigating continental growth. However, the complexity of its Paleozoic geological history has meant that the tectonic development of this belt is not fully understood. NE China is composed of the Erguna and Jiamusi blocks in the northern and eastern parts and the Xing’an and Songliao-Xilinhot accretionary terranes in the central and southern parts. The Erguna and Jiamusi blocks have Precambrian basements with Siberia and Gondwana affinities, respectively. In contrast, the Xing ’an and Songliao-Xilinhot accretionary terranes were formed via subduction and collision processes. These blocks and terranes were separated by the Xinlin-Xiguitu, Heilongjiang, Nenjiang, and Solonker oceans from north to south, and these oceans closed during the Cambrian (ca. 500 Ma), Late Silurian (ca. 420 Ma), early Late Carboniferous (ca. 320 Ma), and Late Permian to Middle Triassic (260 –240 Ma), respectively, forming the Xinlin-Xiguitu, Mudanjiang-Yilan, Hegenshan-Heihe, Solonker-Linxi, and Changchun-Yanji suture zones. Two oceanic tectonic cycles took place in the eastern Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO), namely, the Early Paleozoic cycle involving the Xinlin-Xiguitu and Heilongjiang oceans and the late Paleozoic cycle involving the Nenjiang-Solonker oceans. The Paleozoic tectonic pattern of the eastern CAOB generally shows structural features that trend east-west. The timing of accretion and collision events of the eastern CAOB during the Paleozoic youngs progressively from north to south. The branch ocean basins of the eastern PAO closed from west to east in a scissor-like manner. A bi-directional subduction regime dominated during the narrowing and closure process of the eastern PAO, which led to “soft collision” of tectonic units on each side, forming huge accretionary orogenic belts in central Asia.©2022 China Geology Editorial Office.     

内蒙古牙克石地区晚古生代弧岩浆岩:年代学及地球化学证据

在内蒙古牙克石地区晚古生代岩浆岩中发现了岛弧火山岩和埃达克质花岗闪长岩。火山岩由玄武岩、安山岩、英安岩及凝灰岩组成,属于钙碱性系列,它们富集大离子亲石元素(LILE)、轻稀土元素(LREE),亏损高场强元素(HFSE)。玄武岩的SHPIMP锆石U-Pb年龄表明其形成于373.2±5.3Ma。锆石εHf(t)值为+14.67～+18.67,类似大洋中脊玄武岩(MORB)和现代俯冲带玄武岩的Hf同位素特征。上述特征说明,玄武岩很可能起源于受俯冲板片流体改造的亏损地幔楔,形成于活动大陆边缘。花岗闪长岩的结晶年龄为331.2±3.7Ma。岩石高SiO2、Sr,高Sr/Y比值,富集轻稀土元素,亏损重稀土元素和Y及高场强元素,铕异常基本不明显,具备埃达克岩的地球化学特征。锆石εHf(t)值较高(+12.78～+14.54),说明源区可能为亏损地幔或新生的玄武质下地壳。根据微量元素组成认为花岗闪长岩主要起源于晚古生代底侵的岛弧玄武-安山质下地壳。弧火山岩和埃达克质花岗闪长岩的发现表明,区内晚泥盆世-早石炭世发生过大洋板片的俯冲作用,可能与额尔古纳-兴安地块与松嫩地块的碰撞拼合密切相关。
