鲁西中、新生代镁铁质岩浆作用与地幔化学演化

镁铁质火成岩作为分布最为广泛的典型幔源岩石, 已成为探索地幔化学性状及示踪岩石圈深部过程的主要研究对象.通过对典型样品元素-同位素组成的系统测定, 并结合前人已有资料, 综合研究了鲁西中生代和新生代镁铁质岩石的地质与地球化学特征.研究结果表明, 中生代镁铁质火成岩总体具有富轻稀土和大离子亲石元素、贫高场强元素、I_Sr值变化范围大(0.70396~0.71247)、ε_Nd (t) 值显著偏低(-9.20~-21.21) 的地球化学特征, 但该区南部和北部的中生代镁铁质岩石在元素-同位素组成上仍存在一定差别, 主要表现在南部较之北部镁铁质岩石具有更高的稀土总量(ΣREE为325.52×10-6~555.75×10-6)和轻、重稀土比值(LREE/HREE=17.75~25.97), 以及更高的LILE/HFSE比值(如La/Nb=6.37~13.85, Th/Nb=0.52~1.53).南部镁铁质岩石较之北部镁铁质岩石也更富放射成因锶, I_Sr值分别为0.70844~0.71247和0.70396~0.70598.元素-同位素综合示踪指示鲁西中生代地幔总体具有因岩石圈大规模拆沉作用形成的EMⅠ型富集地幔特征, 但其南部叠加了因深俯冲而进入地幔的扬子陆壳的影响, 因而表现出EMⅠ和EMⅡ组分混合的富集地幔特征.新生代玄武岩具有类似于大洋玄武岩的地球化学特征, 其源区应为亏损的软流圈地幔, 但在部分熔融形成岩浆之前遭受了近期的交代作用.自中生代至新生代, 华北克拉通地幔具有由富集向亏损演变的趋势, 这一化学性状的演变最可能是中生代以来岩石圈大规模拆沉作用, 导致软流圈地幔上涌并对原有岩石圈地幔再改造所致.      

岗皋碱性鲜铁—超镁铁质潜火山杂岩中金云角闪辉石岩类地幔捕虏...

金去角闪辉石财类捕虏体产于扬子板块北缘岚皋县镜的早古生代碱性镁铁质－超鲜镁铁质潜火杂岩中，它们的典型矿物组成为单斜辉石，角闪石，金云母，磷灰石和钛铁矿。捕虏体岩具粗－细粒等粒结构，板状等粒结构，三联点结构，碎裂结构和克带结构，交代结构十分发育。岩石产状，结构和矿物成分特征研究表明，金云角闪辉石岩类捕虏体是地幔交代作用产物，可能代表了该区碱性镁铁质－超镁铁质潜火山杂岩的源区岩石。     

秦岭显生宙地幔组成及其演化

通过对秦岭造山带及扬子克拉通北缘显生宙时期 3个含地幔捕虏体的煌斑岩、钾镁煌斑岩、碱性玄武岩以及 11个不含捕虏体的辉石岩、辉长岩、玄武岩出露点的岩石地球化学对比研究 ,揭示出研究区地幔演化经历了自古生代的OIB亏损地幔到中生代的高度富集地幔再到中生代末期 -新生代的OIB MORB的亏损地幔的两次明显变更。制约这种变更的主要因素是熔融岩浆时源区发生的层圈相互作用类型。鉴于大陆岩石圈软流层体系的特征 ,有必要划分出岩石圈 /软流层相互作用带(过渡带 ) ,它是大陆岩浆作用的重要源区。     

桂北中—新元古代镁铁质—超镁铁质岩的岩石地球化学

桂北中、新元古代镁铁质－超镁铁质岩主要属钙碱质岩系，镁铁质岩的Nb/Lapm=0.13-0.51,Th/Lapm=0.85-3.3,Ti/Ti^*=0.29-0.61，在原始地幔标准化曲线上出现明显的Nb,Ti负异常，中元古代镁铁质岩εNd(t)值低（＝－1．99－5．13），新元古代镁铁质岩εNd(t)值相对较高（＝－0．74－2．4），它们都具有岛弧火山岩系的地球化学特征，是会聚板块边缘岩浆作用的产物，不具有地幔柱来源的岩浆的特性，不能作为Rodinia超大陆裂解的标志。     

中国岩浆型Ni-Cu-(PGE)硫化物矿床的时空分布及其地球动力学背景

中国岩浆型Ni-Cu-(PGE)硫化物矿床主要出露于中亚造山带(新疆北部的天山-阿尔泰地区)、华北克拉通北缘(吉林-辽宁-北京-河北-内蒙古)和华北克拉通西南缘(甘肃)、扬子克拉通西-北缘(陕西-四川-云南)的广大地区,受控于镁铁质-超镁铁质岩体,具有成群成带分布的特征.这类矿床依其岩石类型和地质特征可划分为3类,即产于镁铁质-超镁铁质侵入体中的基底Ni-Cu-(PGE)硫化物矿床、产于与溢流玄武岩有关侵入体中的Ni-Cu-(PGE)硫化物矿床和产于科马提岩中的Ni-Cu-(PGE)硫化物矿床.这类矿床的成矿时代主要集中于新元古代早期(1 000～800 Ma)和古生代晚期(295～250 Ma)两个时间段,所对应的地球动力学背景分别为Rodinia超大陆聚合与裂解阶段、活动造山带后碰撞和二叠纪溢流玄武岩大规模喷发阶段,且均与超级地幔柱活动有关.这类矿床依其成矿构造环境可划分为4类,即古大陆边缘裂谷型、地幔柱型、弧后拉张型以及造山带后碰撞型.这类矿床按其成矿构造环境、成岩成矿时代和地质特征可划分为4个成矿区带,即新元古代与Rodina超大陆聚散有关的Ni-Cu-(PGE)硫化物矿床、华北克拉通北缘Ni-Cu-(PGE)硫化物矿床、中亚造山带后碰撞Ni-Cu-(PGE)硫化物矿床和峨眉地幔柱区Ni-Cu-(PGE)硫化物矿床.     

岚皋碱性镁铁-超镁铁质潜火山杂岩中金云角闪辉石岩类地幔捕虏体矿物学特征

罗迪尼亚超大陆聚合在华南陆块北缘的镁铁质岩浆岩记录

超大陆的聚合必然伴随着从大洋俯冲、弧陆碰撞到陆陆碰撞等一系列板块汇聚和造山过程,这些不同阶段的俯冲和汇聚过程会产生不同特征的岩浆岩记录.华南陆块是新元古代罗迪尼亚超大陆的重要组成部分,在这个超大陆聚合过程中有格林维尔期洋壳俯冲及其伴随的壳幔相互作用.总结了华南陆块北缘记录的罗迪尼亚超大陆聚合不同阶段发生的岩浆活动,比较了其产物的地球化学特征,探讨了它们对应的构造环境.华南陆块北缘900~950 Ma的岩浆活动产物以镁铁质岩浆岩为主,伴随有少量斜长花岗岩,为洋壳俯冲作用的产物.当洋壳俯冲到大陆边缘之下形成安第斯型俯冲带,古老陆源沉积物也被携带进入俯冲带,由此部分熔融产生的含水熔体交代上覆地幔楔形成极度富集的造山带岩石圈地幔,其在新元古代中期发生部分熔融形成具有极负锆石ε_Hf（t）值的镁铁质岩浆岩.因此,在罗迪尼亚超大陆聚合过程中地幔楔被交代形成镁铁质-超镁铁质交代岩,其中一部分在俯冲阶段就发生部分熔融形成大洋弧或大陆弧镁铁质岩浆岩,另一部分在俯冲之后由于大陆裂断引起造山带岩石圈拉张使其与上覆地壳一起部分熔融形成双峰式岩浆岩.      

元古代基性岩墙群的成因机制,构造背景及其古板块再造意义

大陆克拉通广泛发育元古代镁铁质岩墙群，其形成时限短，侵位机制复杂，可以侵位于不同的地壳层次，岩墙群的岩浆可能有多种来源，但主要来自陆下软流圈或地幔岩石圈，很少经历结晶分异与地壳混染，岩墙群的总体化学成分量富集型的，从古元古代到新元古代，其碱性组分逐渐增多，反映地幔演化特征，板块构造理论可应用于晚太古代－古元古代的构造研究，元古代以超级大陆的聚合及裂解为特征，岩墙群的形成普遍与伸展体制相联系，是超级大陆开始裂解或地幔柱活动的重要标志。华北克拉通区广泛发育中元古代镁铁质岩墙群，对其进行多学科的研究，将为确定华北克拉通在中元古代超级大陆中的构造位置及其古板块再造提供重要依据。     

西南天山乌什县晚三叠世镁铁-超镁铁质层状杂岩体年代学及地球化学研究

镁铁-超镁铁质层状杂岩体被认为是岩石圈伸展的重要标志之一,携带有丰富的地幔信息,是研究地幔物质组成、深部地质作用的绝佳对象。西南天山乌什县北巴勒的尔喀克沟地区新发现的镁铁-超镁铁质岩体具有层状杂岩特征,获得辉长岩锆石U-Pb年龄为224±4 Ma,属于晚三叠世。岩石地球化学分析显示富水、富碱、轻稀土富集、重稀土亏损以及明显富集Th、U、Nb、Ta、La、Ce不相容元素等特征,指示其源自于含水的富集型地幔源区,是石榴石二辉橄榄岩较低程度部分熔融的产物。其原生岩浆可能为富铁、钛的高镁玄武质岩浆,岩石系列主要受分离结晶作用控制,同化混染作用影响小。该期岩浆活动于南天山洋盆闭合、板块的碰撞造山活动之后的陆内造山阶段,代表了板块拉伸背景下幔源岩浆演化的产物,指示西南天山地区在三叠纪末可能存在一期岩石圈伸展事件。      

黔东—湘西早古生代岩石圈热状态与高产热率HHPRM型地幔源区

岩石圈热结构和热状态的研究对于大陆裂解、变质作用及活化构造形成机制等大陆动力学问题的研究十分重要。通过地球化学、构造地质学和综合分析,以贵州省镇远地区金伯利岩-钾镁煌斑岩和黔东—湘西一带的晚元古代地层为例,研究了扬子地块东南缘早古生代岩石圈热结构与热状态。提出高放射性元素产热率的HHPRM型地幔源区,进一步讨论HHPRM型地幔源区形成与演化的大陆动力学机制。认为古富集地幔(HHPRM型地幔源区)是镇远一带的早古生代钾镁煌斑岩-金伯利岩的岩浆源区,镇远地区金伯利岩-钾镁煌斑岩岩浆源区深度(H)在208～244km,形成温度在1547～1403℃间,该温度和深度范围属软流层,具有形成金刚石矿床的地质条件。建议在贵州—湖南—广西三省交界区的金伯利岩和钾镁煌斑岩岩群中应进一步开展金刚石矿床研究与勘查工作。     

扬子克拉通北缘中、新元古代洋壳俯冲及壳幔再循环作用的同位素地球化学证据

报道和总结了近期陕西汉中碑坝和西乡地区重要地质体系统同位素年代研究成果，在重新厘定的年代学基础上，就扬子克拉通北缘同位素特征及其地质意义进行剖析，依据该区岩浆作用的上地幔源区性质及演化规律，提出了中、新元古代扬子克拉通北缘存在与现代板块运动类似的洋壳俯冲和壳幔再循环作用的同位素地球化学证据     

华北克拉通岩石圈地幔置换作用和壳幔生长耦合的Re-Os同位素证据

测定了辽宁复县奥陶纪金伯利岩和河北汉诺坝与山东栖霞第三纪碱性玄武岩中产出的地幔包体的Re Os同位素组成。金伯利岩中地幔包体的Re贫化Os同位素模式年龄 (TRD)为 2 .5～ 2 .8Ga ,从Re Os同位素定年角度证明了华北克拉通确实存在太古宙岩石圈地幔。对汉诺坝二辉橄榄岩包体获得了 (1.9± 0 .18)Ga的Re Os同位素等时线年龄 ,表明现今保存在那里的地幔主要是古元古代时形成的。汉诺坝地区出露有大量新太古代岩石 ,表明曾存在太古宙地幔。由于缺乏太古宙年龄 ,说明由汉诺坝所代表的克拉通中部曾存在的太古宙地幔在古元古代时已被减薄 ,并被 1.9Ga的新生岩石圈地幔置换。该事件与华北克拉通中部广泛的古元古代碰撞造山过程导致的麻粒岩相变质作用的时代相同 ,说明有关的岩石圈置换作用可能主要与拆沉作用有关。栖霞地幔包体具有与现代对流地幔相同的Os同位素组成 ,且Os同位素组成与Re/Os比值没有明显相关性 ,表明年龄很新。结合其它地质地球化学证据 ,说明克拉通东部的太古宙岩石圈地幔的置换作用主要发生在中生代 ,且可能与三叠纪华北和扬子陆块的陆陆碰撞造山导致的岩石圈地幔和下地壳的拆沉作用有关。本研究表明华北克拉通岩石圈地幔置换作用在时空上的分布是十分不均一的。 2 .5～ 2 .8Ga与 1.9Ga不仅?     

Chronology and tectonic implications of Neoproterozoic blocks in the South Qinling Orogenic Belt,Central China

The Qinling Orogenic Belt (QOB) located between the North China Craton (NCC) and the Yangtze Craton (YZC) is composed of the North Qinling Belt (NQB), the South Qinling Belt (SQB) and the northern margin of the YZC. Detailed geological and geochronological investigations have revealed distinct Neoproterozoic blocks of various scales in the middle and western segments of the SQB, including the Madao block (MDB), Mihunzhen intrusion (MHI), Zhenggou block (ZGB), and Lengshuigou block (LSB) which constitute an east-west trending Neoproterozoic uplift zone of the basement continental blocks. These blocks are mainly composed of four lithological groups. Group #1 consists mainly of diorites in the LSB, the zircons from which yield a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/ ²³⁸U age of ca. 941 Ma. Group #2 is chiefly composed of hornblende gabbros and diorites in the MHI and LSB, which were formed at ca. 885 Ma. Group #3 comprises massive diorites, quartz diorite, tonalites, granodiorites, and monzogranites in the MDB, MHI, ZGB and LSB, which were emplaced during ca. 785–740 Ma. Group #4 is composed of hornblende gabbros with an emplacement age of ca. 667 Ma in the ZGB.Detailed whole-rock geochemical and zircon Hf isotopic studies reveal the following: (1) The diorites of Group #1 were produced by partial melting of depleted mantle which was enriched by slab-derived melts, with the parental magmas contaminated by crustal materials. (2) The gabbros of Group #2 were derived from the partial melting of depleted mantle enriched by slab-derived melts and the diorites are the fractional crystallization products of the gabbroic magmas. (3) Group #3 which can be further sub-divided based on lithological assemblages and zircon Hf isotopic features into two subgroups, one representing massive diorites, quartz diorite, tonalites, granodiorites, and monzogranites (DTGMs) and the other composed of gneissic quartz diorites and granodiorites. Among these, the DTGMs were derived through magma mixing between melts derived from the depleted mantle wedge altered by slab-derived fluids and melts from juvenile sources, which subsequently underwent amphibole-dominated fractionation, whereas the gneissic granitoids formed through partial melting of thickened lower crust contaminated by depleted mantle melts. (4) The gabbros of Group #4 originated from a depleted lithospheric mantle that was enriched by slab-derived melts and fluids with contribution of asthenospheric mantle-derived materials. In conjunction with data from previous studies on the Neoproterozoic blocks in the SQB and basement blocks in the northern margin of the YZC, our new geological, geochronological and geochemical data suggest a large Neoproterozoic uplift zone in the SQB, which was destructed by Paleozoic to Mesozoic magmatism and deformation. The Neoproterozoic uplift zone of the SQB might have been separated from the northern margin of the YZC during the formation of the Mianlue Ocean, and might have evolved under an active continental margin setting and subsequent continental rift setting accompanied by significant crustal growth. The magmatism also resulted in the formation of important Neoproterozoic ore deposits and supplied the material sources for some of the major Mesozoic ore deposits.     

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).     

北秦岭新元古代前属于扬子板块的地球化学证据

秦岭是扬子板块和华北陆块间的复合造山带,其中存在两个古缝合带,北面的新元古代到早古生代商－丹缝合带介于北秦岭和南秦岭之间,南面的晚古生代勉－略缝合带形成于南秦岭与扬子陆块北缘之间,属于确知的扬子陆块内部打开形成的类型。北秦岭在地壳增生历史,元古宙上地慢性质,以及元古宙以来地幔相对富Nb、Ta、Cu,高Rb／Sr、Ba／Sr、Ba／La、Th／La、Nb／Ta比值和相对贫Fe、Mo方面均与南秦岭和扬子陆块北段一致。而与华北板块南段明显不同。变玄武岩类的Pb同位素三维空间拓扑图和铀εNd（t）－206Pb／204Pb图显示,区域一级地球化学界面位于北秦岭与华北陆块的分界处,二级界面才是商丹－缝合带。构造侵位于该带中的松树沟蛇绿岩<1000 Ma士)中已发现并存着N—MORB和E—MORB型变拉斑玄武岩。表明它们的岩浆分别来自亏损地幔和深部地幔热柱源区。松树沟蛇绿岩与勉,略蛇绿岩中的N—MORB型岩石具有与此相似的同位素组成和特征元素对比值,暗示松树沟蛇绿岩所代表的古洋壳也应属于扬子板块内部型。加之,新元古代之前秦岭只存在裂谷系而无板块结合带,故可确定北秦岭原来应属于扬子板块的组成部分。对秦岭群和宽坪群变拉斑玄武岩及松树沟E—MORB和N—MIORB进行地球化学对比的结果,既能够支持北秦岭是在扬子板块的洋壳洋岛基础上发展形成的微陆块的推断,又可解释北秦岭幔源岩石具有特高Th／La、Yb／Hf、Sc／Th比值和壳幔更富于放射成因钳的原因。此外。对本研究结果在秦岭造山带发展动力学方面的意义也进行了初步讨论。     

川西新元古代玄武质岩浆岩的锆石U-Pb年代学、元素和Nd同位素研究:岩石成因与地球动力学意义

扬子块体西缘新元古代岩浆活动非常强烈 ,其成因对研究Rodinia超级大陆的演化有重要意义。目前对这些岩浆岩的成因和形成的构造背景存在地幔柱和岛弧两种截然不同的观点。文中对康定地区的冷碛辉长岩进行了SHRIMP锆石UPb、元素和Nd同位素研究 ,结果表明辉长岩结晶年龄为 (80 8± 12 )Ma ,与康定花岗质杂岩在时空上密切共生。虽然辉长岩浆在上升过程中受到富集岩石圈地幔和 /或基性下地壳物质的混染 ,但其元素和Nd同位素特征总体上与苏雄碱性玄武岩 (典型的板内型玄武岩 )相似 ,形成于板内裂谷环境。与玄武质岩石相反 ,扬子西缘新元古代花岗质岩石地球化学特征没有明确的构造岩石组合关系。目前的研究资料表明扬子块体西北缘在约 95 0～ 90 0Ma期间可能存在一个近东西向的俯冲带和火山弧 ,但在 86 0～ 75 0Ma期间不存在火山弧 ,这个时期的大规模岩浆活动很可能与Rodinia超级大陆下的一个超级地幔柱活动有关。     

安徽的地壳演化:Sr,Nd同位素证据

在地壳(幔)演化和板块构遣的框架内，评述了有关安徽南部(扬子地块东部，包括大别遣山带和江南遣山带)的同位素地质年代学和Nd，Sr同位素地球化学示踪研究的成果。该地区出露地表的中元古界溪口群浅变质岩代表皖南的基底，沿江地区和大别山区的基底包舍太古宇或／和古元古界古老岩石。此格局还影响到从震旦纪到古生代沉积岩的物源区，江南深断裂以北的沉积岩中有古老岩石的贡献，而以南的物源主要来自出露的中元古界岩石。扬子陆块南北缘(大别和江南遣山带)的晋宁期演化可能与罗迪尼亚超大陆演化有密切关系，但有关研究开展很少。三叠纪大陆深俯冲和超高压变质作用研究已成为国际地球科学的热点。晚中生代(120-140Ma)本区发生强烈的岩浆活动，并伴有重要矿床的形成。中酸性岩的形成是一种壳幔物质混合的过程。沿江地区陆下地幔具有富集特征，为扬子型岩石圈地幔与软流圈地幔混合的产物。从晚中生代到第四纪，基性岩指示其源区的地球化学性质有随时间变得越来越亏损的趋势。     

Neoproterozoic Mafic Dykes and Basalts in the Southern Margin of Tarim, Northwest China: Age, Geochemistry and Geodynamic Implications

<正>Neoproterozoic rifting-related mafic igneous rocks are widely distributed both in the northern and southern margins of the Tarim Block,NW China.Here we report the geochronology and systematic whole-rock geochemistry of the Neoproterozoic mafic dykes and basalts along the southern margin of Tarim.Our zircon U-Pb age,in combination with stratigraphic constraint on their emplacement ages,indicates that the mafic dykes were crystallized at ca.802 Ma,and the basalt, possibly coeval with the ca.740 Ma volcanic rocks in Quruqtagh in the northern margin of Tarim. Elemental and Nd isotope geochemistry of the mafic dykes and basalts suggest that their primitive magma was derived from asthenospheric mantle(OIB-like) and lithospheric mantle respectively,with variable assimilation of crustal materials.Integrating the data supplied in the present study and that reported previously in the northern margin of Tarim,we recognize two types of mantle sources of the Neoproterozoic mafic igneous rocks in Tarim,namely the matasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle(SCLM) in the northern margin and the long-term enriched lithospheric mantle and asthenospheric mantle in the southern margin.A comprehensive synthesis of the Neoproterozoic igneous rocks throughout the Tarim Block led to the recognition of two major episodes of Neoproterozoic igneous activities at ca.820-800 Ma and ca.780-740 Ma,respectively.These two episodes of igneous activities were concurrent with those in many other Rodinian continents and were most likely related to mantle plume activities during the break-up of the Rodinia.     

华北东部大陆地幔橄榄岩组成、年龄与岩石圈减薄

对比分析了华北东部地块陆下岩石圈地幔橄榄石Mg#值和单斜辉石的REE配分形式。报道了汉诺坝和鹤壁橄榄岩中不同产状硫化物的激光MC-ICPMS原位Re-Os年龄和信阳橄榄岩中锆石的U-Pb年龄和信阳橄榄岩锆石的U-Pb年龄。在这些资料基础上,进一步讨论了华北东部岩石圈中、新生代时的减薄机制。原位分析在揭示岩石圈深部过程的细节上,有比全岩分析更大的优越性,并揭示出了在华北深部有中元古代(14亿年)和新元古代(7～8亿年)热活动的记录。岩石圈拆沉作用不能很好地解释古老难熔地幔、过渡型地幔和新生饱满地幔并存的事实;同时,单纯的熔体-橄榄岩相互作用也难以解释中、新生代岩石圈的减薄过程和新生地幔单斜辉石中出现强烈LREE亏损现象,即历史复杂的克拉通岩石圈向历史明显简单的“大洋型”地幔的转换。因此,华北东部岩石圈减薄包括地幔伸展、熔-岩作用、侵蚀置换等复杂过程。这些过程可能包括:(1)早中生代时,扬子地块向北俯冲碰撞所引起华北岩石圈的熔/流体交代富集作用、地幔伸展和受扰动软流圈物质上涌并侵蚀被改造了的岩石圈;(2)晚中生代—古近纪,因太平洋俯冲的热扰动致使软流圈物质进一步的强烈侵蚀作用引起岩石圈的巨大减薄;(3)晚第三纪以来的软流圈热沉降作用所带来的小幅度岩石圈增厚过程。岩石圈先大幅减薄、后小幅增厚实现了最终的地幔置换和岩石圈整体的减薄过程。喷发时代为100Ma的阜新玄武岩所捕获的橄榄岩主体是饱满的,说明华北东部部分地区在此之前曾有过地幔置换作用。     

Evolution of subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath eastern China: Re–Os isotopic evidence from mantle xenoliths in Paleozoic kimberlites and Mesozoic basalts

The ages of subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath the North China and South China cratons are less well-constrained than the overlying crust. We report Re–Os isotope systematics of mantle xenoliths entrained in Paleozoic kimberlites and Mesozoic basalts from eastern China. Peridotite xenoliths from the Fuxian and Mengyin Paleozoic diamondiferous kimberlites in the North China Craton give Archean Re depletion ages of 2.6–3.2 Ga and melt depletion ages of 2.9–3.4 Ga. No obvious differences in Re and Os abundances, Os isotopic ratios and model ages are observed between spinel-facies and garnet-facies peridotites from both kimberlite localities. The Re–Os isotopic data, together with the PGE concentrations, demonstrate that beneath the Archean continental crust of the eastern North China Craton, Archean lithospheric mantle of spinel- to diamond-facies existed without apparent compositional stratification during the Paleozoic. The Mesozoic and Cenozoic basalt-borne peridotite and pyroxenite xenoliths, on the other hand, show geochemical features indicating metasomatic enrichment, along with a large range of the Re–Os isotopic model ages from Proterozoic to Phanerozoic. These features indicate that lithospheric transformation or refertilization through melt-peridotite interaction could be the primary mechanism for compositional changes during the Phanerozoic, rather than delamination or thermal-mechanical erosion, despite the potential of these latter processes to play an important role for the loss of garnet-facies mantle. A fresh garnet lherzolite xenolith from the Yangtze Block has a Re depletion age of ∼1.04 Ga, much younger than overlying Archean crustal rocks but the same Re depletion ages as spinel lherzolite xenoliths from adjacent Mesozoic basalts, indicating Neoproterozoic resetting of the Re–Os system in the South China Craton.
