锡石U-Pb定年方法评述

锡石物理化学性质稳定,不易受到后期热液蚀变作用的影响,已成为锡多金属矿床成矿年代学研究的首选矿物。目前,锡石的U-Pb定年方法主要包括同位素稀释热电离质谱法(ID-TIMS)和激光剥蚀(多接收)电感耦合等离子体质谱法(LA-(MC)-ICP-MS)。本文拟对这两类方法进行评述,总结其优缺点,并指出测年过程中的一些关键问题和技术难点,为广大地质工作者选择合适的锡石U-Pb定年方法提供参考。     

云南蒙自白牛厂多金属矿床锡石原位LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学

云南蒙自白牛厂多金属矿床位于个旧与都龙矿床之间,由于缺少年代学数据,多种成因观点相持不下。利用锡石原位LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb法对采自沉积作用最为显著的白羊矿段的两个锡石样品进行年代学研究,得出238U/207Pb-206Pb/207Pb等时线年龄分别为(87.4±3.7)Ma(MSWD=9.0)和(88.4±4.3)Ma(MSWD=9.9),与薄竹山花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄(84.1±2.6～87.83±0.39)Ma在误差范围内一致,说明锡的成矿与岩浆作用关系密切。结合南岭地区其他锡多金属矿床锡石TIMS U-Pb年代学研究,锡石U-Pb定年在锡多金属矿床直接定年中具有很大优势,而原位LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb法定年在该类型矿床的年代学研究中更是开辟了一条新途径。由于锡石普通铅含量较高,在校正过程中会影响数据可靠性,因此该方法需进一步完善,以满足精确定年的需要。     

锡石U-Pb同位素定年中的年龄校正策略——兼论矿石矿物U-Pb同位素定年中的年龄校正问题

<正>利用矿石矿物的同位素定年测定矿床的成矿时代,是直接测定矿床成矿时代的重要方法。许多矿石矿物有较高的U-Th含量,可以作为U-Th-Pb和Pb-Pb同位素年龄测定的对象。例如锡石是锡多金属矿床中重要的矿石矿物,当其有较高的U-Th含量时,可以作为U-Th-Pb和Pb-Pb同位素年龄测定的对象。利用锡石U-Pb同位素定年直接测定锡多金属矿床的成矿(锡矿化)时

广西栗木锡多金属矿床锆石和锡石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

年代学研究是花岗岩型稀有金属矿床研究的重要内容,多种定年方法的联合有助于对岩浆演化及稀有金属元素富集成矿过程的精细刻画。论文选择栗木矿区具代表性的金竹源、老虎头和水溪庙花岗岩型钨锡铌钽矿床和（长石）石英脉型钨锡矿床,进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb和LA-MC-ICP-MS锡石U-Pb年代学研究。结果显示,老虎头细粒铁锂云母钠长石花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄为（216.3±1.7）Ma,长石石英脉型钨锡矿床锡石UPb年龄为（210.1±4.9）Ma;两件金竹源花岗岩型钨锡铌钽矿床锡石U-Pb年龄分别为（219.6±1.5）Ma和（219.9±2.2）Ma,石英脉型钨锡矿床锡石U-Pb年龄为（217.3±3.2）Ma;水溪庙长石石英脉型钨锡矿床锡石U-Pb年龄为（210.7±2.5）Ma。本次研究可以看出,金竹源花岗岩的成岩年龄与花岗岩型钨锡铌钽矿床及石英脉型钨锡矿床的成矿年龄间隔较小,表明含矿花岗岩可能在较短时间内经历了岩浆冷凝结晶、富集成矿和热液锡矿化过程,是短暂矿化事件的产物,而非以往认为的岩浆-热液长时间演化的结果。同时,基于不同测年方法的对比结果显示,在含锡花岗岩中,锡石年龄既能代...

大兴安岭南段维拉斯托锡多金属矿床LA-ICP-MS锡石和锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

维拉斯托锡多金属矿床位于大兴安岭南段西坡的内蒙古克什克腾旗,是近年来发现的一个以锡为主,共伴生钨、锌、铜、钼、铷、铌和钽的大型矿床。矿化类型包括深部以锡为主,伴生锌、铷、铌和钽的蚀变花岗岩型矿体;中部以锡为主,伴生铜和锌的隐爆角砾岩型矿体及浅部锡、钨、锌、铜和钼的石英大脉型和网脉型矿体。该矿床的主要工业矿体为石英脉型,呈北北东向产于古元古界宝音图群和华力西期石英闪长岩中的断裂破碎带内,而蚀变花岗岩型和隐爆角砾岩型矿石的品位较低。文中选取1件石英脉型锡矿体中的锡石样品进行了LA-ICP-MS锡石U-Pb定年,获得锡石的206Pb/207Pb238U/207Pb等时线年龄为(136.0±6.1) Ma(MSWD=0.94),207Pb/206Pb238U/206Pb谐和年龄为(132.3±5.4) Ma(MSWD=2.8),表明维拉斯托锡多金属矿床形成于早白垩世;选取1件与成矿相关的北大山岩体花岗岩样品开展了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,获得206Pb/238U年龄为(140±2) Ma(MSWD=0.10),表明成矿岩体亦形成于早白垩世。维拉斯托锡多金属矿床属于与花岗岩有关的岩浆热液型矿床。通过统计大兴安岭南段主要锡多金属矿床的成矿年龄和成矿岩体的年龄,发现几乎所有的锡多金属矿床均形成于140～135 Ma期间,表明早白垩世是大兴安岭南段锡多金属矿床成矿高峰期。     

大兴安岭南段毛登-小孤山锡多金属矿田年代学、 地球化学特征及其地质意义

毛登-小孤山锡多金属矿田位于大兴安岭南段成矿带。文章通过对该矿田的锆石和锡石进行LA-(MC)-ICP-MS原位U-Pb测年,及对与成矿关系密切的斑状花岗岩主微量元素地球化学特征的研究,揭示了该矿田的成矿时限及成矿地质背景。斑状花岗岩的锆石206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为(132.19±0.77)Ma,锡石207Pb/206Pb-238U/206Pb谐和年龄为(140±20)Ma,表明该矿田的岩浆-成矿作用发生在早白垩世。毛登-小孤山矿田中的斑状花岗岩具有较高的w(SiO2)(70.4%～71.0%),富K2O(4.93%～5.27%),高10 000Ga/Al比值(3.10～4.06),Fe相对Mg较为富集,强烈亏损Sr、Ba、Ti和P元素,稀土元素配分曲线呈右倾,Eu负异常明显,δEu为0.31～0.40,上述特征与A型花岗岩一致。结合区域地质特征、成岩成矿年代学、岩石地球化学结果,表明与大兴安岭南段锡多金属矿相关的花岗岩形成于早白垩世(145～120 Ma)的伸展背景下,为软流圈上涌导致含有大量幔源成分的锡林浩特古陆块部分熔融所形成。     

云南腾冲大松坡锡矿成矿年代学研究:锆石 LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄和锡石LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄证据

大松坡锡矿床是三江特提斯成矿域腾冲-梁河锡-钨多金属矿带内的典型锡矿床之一,与古永岩基有密切的成生联系.本文利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年手段对大松坡锡矿床小龙河含锡黑云母花岗岩和二长花岗岩进行制约,两件黑云母花岗岩样品分析结果分别为70.3±3.2Ma和75.3±4.2Ma,一件二长花岗岩样品结果为71.5±2.1Ma,代表了岩浆结晶年龄.LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb方法直接对锡石进行年龄测试在国内外研究报道尚少,本文首次对该矿床云英岩型锡矿石中锡石进行定年尝试,结果为75.5±2.6Ma,与岩体年龄在误差范围内一致.小龙河锡矿床含锡岩体与古永岩基年龄一致,表明该含锡岩体可能是古永岩基的一部分.大松坡锡矿床的成矿年龄与含锡岩体年龄一致,表明二者同时形成,共系新特提斯洋俯冲构造背景的产物.

Cassiterite LA-MC-ICP-MS U/Pb and muscovite 40Ar/39Ar dating of tin deposits in the Tengchong-Lianghe tin district,NW Yunnan,China

The Tengchong-Lianghe tin district in northwestern Yunnan, China, is an important tin mineralization area in the Sanjiang Tethyan Metallogenic Domain. There are three N–S trending granite belts in the Tengchong-Lianghe area, with emplacement ages ranging from Early Cretaceous to Late Cretaceous and Early Cenozoic. Tin mineralization is spatially associated with these granitic rocks. However, the petrogenetic link between the tin deposits and the host granites is not clear because of the lack of age data for the tin mineralization. We investigate the possibility of direct dating of cassiterite from three typical tin deposits in the Tengchong-Lianghe tin district, using laser ablation multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS). In situ LA-MC-ICP-MS dating of seven cassiterite samples from the Lailishan (LLS-1 and LLS-2), Xiaolonghe (XLH, WDS, DSP, and HJS), and Tieyaoshan (TYS) tin deposits yielded well-defined ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb–²³⁸U/²⁰⁷Pb isochron ages. To assess the accuracy of the in situ U/Pb dating of cassiterite, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of coexisting muscovite (in samples LLS-1, DSP, and TYS) was also performed. The cassiterite in situ U/Pb ages (47.4?±?2.0, 71.9?±?2.3, and 119.3?±?1.7 Ma, respectively) are in excellent agreement with the coexisting muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages (48.4?±?0.3, 71.9?±?1.4, and 122.4?±?0.7 Ma, respectively). The U/Pb ages of cassiterite combined with the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of muscovite indicate that there are three tin mineralization events in this district: the Lailishan tin deposit at 47.4?±?2.0 to 52?±?2.7 Ma, the Xiaolonghe tin deposit at 71.6?±?2.4 to 3.9?±?2.0 Ma, and the Tieyaoshan tin deposit at 119.3?±?1.7 to 122.5?±?0.7 Ma. These ages are highly consistent with the zircon U/Pb ages of the host granites. It is su.ggested that the Cretaceous tin mineralization might have taken place in a subduction environment, while the Early Tertiary tin metallogenesis was in a postcollisional geodynamic setting.     

LA‐(MC)‐ICP‐MS Trends in 2006 and 2007 with Particular Emphasis on Measurement Uncertainties

Research in 2006 and 2007 dealing with laser ablation‐(multicollector)‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry, LA‐(MC)‐ICP‐MS, involved studies concerned with optimising the technique itself, as well as applying the method to a variety of problems in the Earth sciences. The causes of elemental and isotopic fractionation produced during laser ablation continues to be of considerable interest, with evidence mounting that processes occurring both at the ablation site and in the argon plasma of the ICP are culpable. There is growing excitement in the use of femtosecond lasers for LA‐(MC)‐ICP‐MS, with the hope that they reduce or eliminate melting and non‐congruent volatilisation at the ablation site and thus approach stoichiometric sampling. Ablation chamber design emerged as a serious concern, particularly with respect to achieving the rapid washout needed for fine‐scale compositional mapping of geological objects. LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS provided data for a wide range of isotopic systems, especially hafnium, but also B, S, Mg, Cu, Fe, Sr, Nd, Pb and U. Measurement uncertainties in LA‐ICP‐MS were discussed by several researchers, and are critically reviewed here ‐ total uncertainties for trace element concentration measurements of silicates including errors on the calibration values of common reference materials are ～10% (95% confidence limits), though the precision of individual spot measurements (50 to 100 μm) is much better, ～1% RSD, using a 193 nm laser and a sector field‐ICP‐MS. LA‐ICP‐MS U‐Pb ages for zircon and other U‐rich accessory phases are claimed by most geoanalysts to have 2s uncertainties of ～0.7 and 1.3% respectively but the actual accuracy of the method is probably only as good as ～2% (2s), when uncertainties associated with laser‐induced Pb/U fractionation are included.     

榍石：U－Pb定年及变质P－T－t轨迹的建立

榍石在各类岩石中普遍存在，其稳定性受全岩成分、氧逸度和水活度以及温度和压力等因素影响。它在岩浆岩中主要存在于高Ca/Al比值的岩石中，在变质岩中常见于绿片岩相、蓝片岩相和角闪岩相岩石，在钙质变质岩中其稳定范围可达榴辉岩相或高压麻粒岩相。一般榍石结构中U含量较高，且具有高达高角闪岩相上限的U Pb同位素体系封闭温度，是理想的U-Pb定年矿物。由于榍石的组成元素均为岩石中的主要元素，很容易与其它矿物、熔体及流体发生反应，所以榍石的U-Pb年龄记录的更可能是结晶年龄，而不是简单的扩散重置年龄；也因为它容易反应，变质榍石复杂的U Pb体系可能记录了岩石的整个变质历史信息。通过与榍石平衡共生的矿物组合或利用榍石Zr温压计可确定岩石的P T条件，结合相关的榍石年龄信息即可建立变质过程的P T t轨迹。利用SHRIMP、LA MC ICP MS以及LA ICP MS方法可对不均一榍石颗粒内部进行原位微区分析得到有意义的U Pb年龄；利用榍石中Zr含量对温度，尤其是对压力比较敏感，可建立榍石Zr含量温压计。     

Metallogenic Epoch of Nonferrous Metallic and Silver Deposits in the Jiaodong Peninsula, China and its Geological Significance

As China's most important gold-producing district,the Jiaodong Peninsula also contains copper,lead-zinc,molybdenum(tungsten),and other nonferrous metal ore deposits,but the space-time and genetic relationships with gold deposits remain uncertain.To investigate the temporal relationship between these nonferrous metal and gold ore deposits,We collected the samples from a number of nonferrous metallic and silver deposits and metallogenetic rock bodies in the eastern Jiaodong Peninsula for isotopic dating.The results show that the Re-Os isotopic model ages of the Lengjia molybdenum deposit in Rongcheng range from 114.5± 1.8 Ma to 112.6± 1.5 Ma,with an average age of 113.6± 1.6Ma;the LA-ICP-MS ~(206)Pb/~(238)U ages of 33 zircons in the sericitization porphyritic monzogranite that hosts the Tongjiazhuang silver deposit in Rongcheng range between 122 Ma and 109 Ma,with a weighted mean age of 116.04± 0.95 Ma;the LA-ICP-MS ~(206)Pb/~(238)U ages of 31 zircons in the copper metallogenic pyroxene monzodiorite that hosts the Kuangbei copper deposit in Rongcheng range from126 Ma to 106 Ma,with a weighted mean age of 116.6± 1.7 Ma;and the LA-ICP-MS ~(206)Pb/~(238)U ages of19 zircons in the pyroxene monzodiorite surrounding the Dadengge gold and multimetal deposit in Weihai range from 113 Ma to 110 Ma,with a weighted mean age of 111.7± 0.6 Ma.All these results indicate that the metallogenic ages of the silver and nonferrous metallic deposits in the Jiaodong Peninsula are in a limited range from 118 Ma to 111 Ma.Previous studies have demonstrated that the isotopic ages of gold deposits in the Jiaodong Peninsula range from 123 Ma to 110 Ma,while Weideshanian magmatism occurred between 126 Ma to 108 Ma.Both these ranges are grossly consistent with the metallogenic ages of silver and nonferrous metallic deposits in this study,suggesting that the large-scale mineralization occurred in the Early Cretaceous when magmatic activities were strong.This epoch may be linked to the lithosphere thinning and the thermo-upwelling extension in eastern China at that time.In addition,field investigation also shows that gold and nonferrous metallic deposits are distributed nearby the Weideshanian granite,with the nonferrous metallic deposits lying within or surrounding the granite pluton and the gold deposits outside the granite pluton.We propose the following mineralization scenario:In the Early Cretaceous,an intensive lithospheric extension induced partial melting and degassing of the metasomatized lithospheric mantle,which resulted in the formation of mantle-derived fluids enriched in metal elements.During the rapid process of magma ascent and intrusion,crust-derived fluids were activated by the magmatic thermal dome and served to further extract ore-forming materials from the crust.These fluids may have mixed with the mantle-derived fluid to form a crust-mantle mixing-type ore-forming fluid.The high-temperature conditions in the center or in contact with the granitic magmatic thermal dome would have been favorable for the formation of porphyry-type,skarn-type,and hydrothermal-vein-type ores,thus forming a series of Mo(W),Cu,and Pb-Zn deposits in the mid-eastern Jiaodong Peninsula.In contrast,the medium-to low-temperature conditions in the periphery of the magmatic thermal dome would have favored the deposition of gold(silver) ores under the appropriate physiochemical and structural conditions.The metallogenic epoch of the molybdenum,copper,and silver deposits,and their spatio-temporal and genetic relations to the gold deposits,as demonstrated in this study,not only provide important insights to the study of regional metallogeny,our understanding of the metallogenesis of the Jiaodong type gold deposit,and the geodynamic background of the large-scale mineralization in the Jiaodong Peninsula,but also have practical value in guiding the mineral exploration.     

滇西松山锡矿锡石LA-SF-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学及其对区域锡成矿作用的指示

松山锡矿位于滇西临沧花岗岩基的西北侧。矿体主要赋存于临沧黑云母二长花岗岩与松山组绢云石英片岩接触带矽卡岩以及花岗岩和围岩的裂隙中。由于缺乏精确的成矿年代学数据,在一定程度上限制了对矿床成因的认识,并制约了进一步的找矿勘查工作。本文首次利用LA-SF-ICP-MS微区原位U-Pb同位素测年技术对松山锡矿床矽卡岩型和电气石石英脉型矿石中的锡石矿物开展了 U-Pb年代学研究获得2件锡石样品的~(207) Pb/~(206)Pb-~(238) U/~(206) Pb谐和年龄分别为76.6±1.5Ma和79.6±3.6Ma,说明松山锡矿锡的成矿作用主要发生在晚白垩世,与临沧花岗岩主体侵位时间(三叠纪)明显不同。结合地质特征和前人年代学研究成果本文认为该地区存在明显的晚白垩世锡的成矿事件,研究区下一步的找矿工作应围绕岩体与围岩接触带,以及岩体和围岩中的断裂展开。

RMJG Rutile: A New Natural Reference Material for Microbeam U‐Pb Dating and Hf Isotopic Analysis

Matrix‐matched reference materials are necessary for accurate microbeam U‐Pb dating and Hf isotopic determination. This study introduces the RMJG rutile as a new potential reference material, which was separated from Palaeoproterozoic pelitic granulites collected in Hebei Province, China. LA‐ICP‐MS measurements indicate the RMJG rutile has extremely low Th (< 0.003 ± 0.01 µg g^?1) and common Pb contents, but high Hf (102 ± 34 µg g^?1), U (61 ± 11 µg g^?1), and radiogenic Pb (~ 20 µg g^?1) contents. Moreover, the rutile yields relatively constant U‐Pb ages and Hf isotopic data. The LA‐ICP‐MS analyses suggest that this rutile has a concordant U‐Pb age with a statistical mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U and ²⁰⁷Pb/²³⁵U ages of 1749.9 ± 32.1 Ma and 1750.0 ± 26.4 Ma, respectively (2s), which are statistically indistinguishable from its ID‐TIMS ages (1750.6 ± 8.4 and 1750.1 ± 4.7 Ma). Precise determination of the ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf ratio by MC‐ICP‐MS in solution mode (0.281652 ± 0.000006) is in good agreement with the statistical mean of the LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS measurements (0.28166 ± 0.00018). Therefore, the limited variations of RMJG U‐Pb age and Hf isotopic composition together with its extremely low common Pb and high Hf, U and Pb contents make it an ideal calibration and monitor reference material for LA‐ICP‐MS measurements.
