Metamorphism of the Bikou Group in the Shanxi-Gausu-Sichuan Border Region1

Abstract The Bikou Group on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Sichuan border is composed of Mid-Late Proterozoic metamorphosed bimodal volcanic rocks and flysch sediments. Its metamorphism may be divided into the blueschist and greenschist facies. Three metamorphic zones, i.e. zones A, B, and C, may be distinguished on the basis of the field distribution of metamorphic rocks and the variation of b₀ values of muscovite. Blueschists are characterized by coexistence of sodic amphiboles and epidote and occur as stripes or relict patches in extensive greenschists of zone A. Studies of metamorphic minerals such as amphiboles, chlorite, epidote and muscovite and their textural relationships indicate that blueschists and greenschists were not formed under the same metamorphic physico-chemical conditions. The blueschist facies was formed at temperatures of 300-400°C and pressures of 0.5–0.6 GPa. The greenschist facies in zones A and B has similar temperatures but its pressure is only 0.4 GPa or so. The transition from the blueschist to greenschist facies is a nearly isothermal uplift process. The rock and mineral assemblages of the Bikou Group indicate that the blueschist facies metamorphism of the group might be related to crustal thickening or A-subduction accompanying the closure of an intracontinental small ocean basin.     

陕甘川交界区碧口群的变质作用及其地质意义

碧口群由一套中晚元古代的变质双峰式火山岩及复理石型深积岩组成，其变质作用分为蓝片岩相和绿片岩相。据其野外分布及白云母ｂ０值的变化可分成Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ三个变质带。蓝片岩相以钠质闪石＋绿帘石共生为特征，在Ａ带的大面积绿片岩中呈条带或残片状分布。对区内的角闪石、绿泥石、绿帘石及白云母等矿物及其间的交代关系研究表明蓝片岩和绿片岩并非同一物理化学条件下的产物。蓝片岩相的温度为３００－４００℃，压力为０．５－０．     

陕甘川交界区碧口群的绿帘石及其岩石学意义

绿帘石广泛分布于碧口群的各类变质岩石中,但以变质基性岩(绿片岩和蓝片岩)为主。绿片岩中绿帘石X_(?s)=0.23—0.37,但多为0.30—0.32,在不同样品中绿帘石成分变化很大,但同一样品中绿帘石变化不明显,说明其成分与全岩成分有关。蓝片岩中绿帘石X_(?s)=0.22—0.36,其成分在同一样品中也有很大变化,一般细粒者ps分子少,而粗粒者ps分子多,且常发育环带结构,向中心ps分子减少,说明蓝片岩可能经历了一个以降压为特征的变质过程。此外,该群也偶见绿纤石,但它们均被绿帘石包裹,不能构成独立变质相。     

辽河群的变形作用和变质作用

比较详细地讨论了辽河群的变形作用和变质作用,以及二者之间的关系,并比较详细地讨论了变质相系、变质带的分布和划分依据,还对变质作用P-T-t轨迹特征进行了初步探讨.初浅认识是:辽河群是在收缩体制下,古元古洋中的火山沉积岩系俯冲到地下深处发生变质和变形的,二者属同一热动力过程.现在所见到的构造形迹被认为是在同一动力作用下递进变形过程的最终状态;辽河群是层状无序的变质构造单元,只有摒弃原来按层序地层学建的"组",重新按岩性填图才能显现辽河群的固有面貌.     

西藏墨竹工卡县门巴地区松多岩群变质作用特征及时代讨论

西藏墨竹工卡县门巴地区松多岩群经历了3期变质变形作用,主期变质作用的温度为500~553℃,压力为0.93~1.15 GPa,属中低温、中高压区域动力热流变质作用,相似于板块碰撞带变质作用的特征。同位素定年资料表明,松多岩群主期变质为加里东期变质作用的产物。阳起片岩1 516 Ma的Sm[CD*2]Nd表面年龄可能反映了松多岩群的原岩年龄。     

碧口群火山岩性质及形成环境

中元古代—新元古代碧口群火山岩系分布在扬子地块北缘、秦岭造山带南侧。碧口群火山岩系具大陆裂谷火山岩特点,形成于大陆裂谷作用构造环境。火山岩系特征为：① 具双峰式火山岩组合,火山岩系由基性火山岩（细碧岩及细碧质凝灰岩）及酸性火山岩（石英角斑岩及石英角斑质凝灰岩）组成。② 基性火山岩包括两个岩浆系列的岩石,即碱性玄武岩浆系列及拉斑玄武岩浆系列。③ 火山岩富集LREE及LIL。微量元素及同位素（SmNd,RbSr）研究表明,基性火山岩形成于相似于洋岛玄武岩源的地幔柱源,酸性火山岩为地壳重熔的产物。扬子地块北缘分布有碧口群、西乡群等中元古代—新元古代大陆火山岩系,表明在这一时期大陆裂谷拉张火山作用发育,成为秦岭地壳的主要增生成壳期。     

碧口群火山岩岩石成因研究

新元古代(846~776Ma)碧口群火山岩喷发于大陆板内裂谷环境。该火山岩系以基性火山岩为主,酸性火山岩次之,中性火山岩少见。根据岩石地球化学数据,碧口群裂谷基性熔岩总体上属于低Ti/Y(<500)岩浆类型。元素和同位素数据表明,碧口群基性熔岩的化学变化不是由一个共同的母岩浆的结晶分异作用所产生。它们极有可能是源于地幔柱源(εNd(t)≈+3,87Sr/86Sr(t)≈0.704,La/Nb≈0.7)。地壳混染作用对于碧口群裂谷基性熔岩的形成有重要贡献。我们的研究揭示,碧口群火山岩存在空间上的岩石地球化学变化。东部红岩沟和辛田坝—黑木林地区的碧口群基性熔岩以拉斑玄武岩为主,产生于幔源石榴子石稳定区的高度部分熔融。相反,西部白杨—碧口地区的碧口群基性熔岩的母岩浆则是形成于幔源的尖晶石-石榴子石过渡带:碱性熔岩是产生于部分熔融程度较低的条件下,拉斑玄武质熔岩则是产生于部分熔融条件较高的条件下。它们经受了浅层位辉长岩质(cpx+plag±ol)分离作用,化学变异较大。     

Further Study on Geochemical Characteristics and Genesis of the Boninitic Rocks from Bikou Group, Northern Yangtze Plate

Metamorphism in the New England Orogen,eastern Australia: a review

Abstract

This paper summarises current knowledge on metamorphism within the entire New England Orogen (NEO) of eastern Australia. Rocks recording metamorphic assemblages characteristic of each of the three metamorphic facies series (high, medium and low P/T) have been identified within the orogen. These include high P/T blueschists and eclogites, mid P/T orogenic metamorphism and low P/T contact aureoles and sub-regional high-temperature–low-pressure (HTLP) metamorphism (regional aureoles). Metamorphism is described as it relates to six tectonic phases of development of the NEO that together comprise two major cycles of compression–extension. Medium–high-grade contact metamorphism spans all six tectonic phases while low-grade burial and/or orogenic metamorphism has been identified for four of the six phases. In contrast, exposure of high P/T eclogites and blueschists, and generation of sub-regional low P/T metamorphism is restricted to extensional phases of the orogen. Hallmarks of the orogen are two newly identified zones of HTLP metamorphism, the older of which extends for almost the entire length of the orogen.

1. KEY POINTS

2. The orogen is dominated by low-temperature rocks while high-temperature amphibolite to granulite facies rocks are restricted to small exposures in HTLP complexes and contact aureoles.

3. Blueschist metamorphism falls into two categories; that associated with subduction during the Currabubula-Connors continental arc phase occurring at depths of ～13–30?km; and the other of Cambrian–Ordovician age, exposed within a serpentinite melange and associated with blocks of eclogite. The eclogite, initially from depths of ～75–90?km, appears to have been entrained in the deep crust for an extended period of geological time.

4. A comprehensive review of contact metamorphism in the orogen is lacking and as studies on low-grade metamorphism are more extensive in the southern part of the orogen than the north, this highlights a second research gap.

辽河群区域变质特征及其大陆动力学意义

辽河群是胶辽吉古元古代造山带的主要组成部分。近年来对其区域变质作用的PTt轨迹研究发现：同一造山带内PTt轨迹具有多样性。进一步研究认为,这一碰撞造山带南、北空间上PTt轨迹的逆向性起因于造山带南、北部的结构构造、变形过程和同变形变质花岗岩空间分布上的差异。就南辽河群和盖县岩组而言,早期、中期变质阶段,因中深部地壳大面积“辽吉花岗岩”的底垫式侵位及其诱发的沉积盖层顺层滑脱减薄作用,变质作用表现为近等压和小幅度增压而温度快速上升的过程;峰期变质阶段,又因收缩挤压增厚,表现为等温升压过程（盖县岩组）或升温升压过程（南辽河群）;最后晚期变质阶段,差异剥蚀引起降温降压（盖县岩组）或近等压降温过程（南辽河群）。对北辽群而言,早期、中期变质阶段,因盖层南辽河群及盖县岩组的大规模向北滑覆增厚作用而及花岗岩浆不发育,仅有正常传导热及放射热,因而△P＞△T;峰期变质阶段温、压同时达峰值,之后等温快速降压过程,与构造剥蚀有关;至晚期变质阶段,同盖县岩组一样,经历降温降压过程。通过对比上述北、南辽河群及盖县岩组的大陆动力学过程,表明早期大陆动力学过程正好是一个互为消长的过程,从而也决定了它们的PTt轨迹的逆反性。最后,本文提出了辽河群变质的底侵＋拆沉模型。     

南秦岭铧厂沟碧口群玄武岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及岩石成因研究

铧厂沟地区碧口群玄武岩呈带状和透镜状分布于凝灰岩和凝灰质千枚岩中。在详细野外观察基础上,利用显微镜观察、主微量元素及放射性同位素分析等综合分析技术对玄武岩的岩石学、地球化学以及年代学特征进行了研究。结果表明:碧口群玄武岩普遍经历了绿片岩相的变质作用,主要矿物为斜长石、绿泥石和绿帘石;SiO_2(44.67%~49.76%)、TiO_2(1.14%~1.34%)含量较低,TFe_2O_3(12.03%~15.47%)、MgO(7.57%~9.3%)、CaO(7.29%~10.54%)含量较高。稀土总量较低,轻稀土亏损,重稀土富集。岩石微量元素和(?)石Hf同位素特征显示玄武岩形成环境可能类似N-MORB,起源于软流圈,并在上升过程中混入了古老的地壳物质。LA-ICP-MS锆石测年结果显示玄武岩的形成年龄为(316.3:±6.0)Ma(MSWD=0.78;n=7),表明碧口群火山岩系至少是两期(新元古代时期和晚古生代时期)火山作用的产物。其大规模形成时期为新元古代,后经晚古生代火山作用的叠加改造而成。     

麻山群孔兹岩系主期区域变质作用及演化

麻山群孔兹岩系主期变质作用在区域上可以划分出角闪岩相和麻粒岩相两个变质带。麻粒岩相带内的岩石先后经历了由低角闪岩相—高角闪岩相—麻粒岩相的递增变质阶段。对稳定矿物共生组合及特征变质反应进行了详细研究并确定了变质作用的P-T-t轨迹。根据麻山群变质作用P-T条件在大规模范围内的一致性,认为其发生于晚太古未—早元古初期的区域造山环境。     

中国西部元古代蓝片岩带——世界上保存最好的前寒武纪蓝片岩

碧口群不同岩片火山岩微量元素组成差异与古构造意义

对碧口群内部大茅坪和筏子坝2个岩片变火山岩微量元素的研究表明,二者在岩石组合、源区组成及产出的构造环境等方面均存在系统差异。大茅坪岩片主要由偏碱性与非碱性的玄武质岩石组成,二者分别具有类似OIB和MORB的微量元素组成,起源于相对富集和相对亏损的地幔,并受到陆源物质不同程度的混染。偏碱性与非碱性的玄武质岩石分别显示板内火山岩（WPB）与洋脊玄武岩（MORB）的属性,表明大茅坪岩片火山岩主要形成于裂谷－有限洋盆环境。筏子坝岩片由玄武质与中酸性火山岩组成,岩石化学显示明显的“双峰式”组成特征,二者分别具有类似MORB和壳源岩石的微量元素组成,为亏损地幔与壳源岩石部分熔融的产物,形成于大陆裂谷环境。根据不同火山岩构造属性及组合特征,推断碧口群主要形成于陆内裂谷－有限洋盆构造环境。     

胶北粉子山群和荆山群三叠纪变质变形记录:金红石U-Pb年代学证据

胶北地块粉子山群和荆山群是华北克拉通的重要组成部分,其变质变形作用过程是全面认识华北克拉通性质与演化的关键。前人对粉子山群和荆山群变质变形年代研究的测试对象主要为锆石,报道的年代学数据多集中于1.8~1.9Ga,认为变质变形作用的时代为古元古代。本文通过对采集自胶北粉子山群和荆山群的2个石榴云母片岩和2个云母片岩样品中独居石及金红石的U-Pb同位素年代测定,揭示了胶北粉子山群和荆山群不仅经历了古元古代(1869±16~1864±14 Ma)变质事件的改造,而且还经历了三叠纪(215.1±4.2~217.8±6.3Ma)变质变形事件的叠加。通过金红石中Zr温度计计算得出215.1±4.2 Ma,217.7±2.7 Ma和217.8±6.3 Ma的U-Pb年龄对应温度分别为:658℃,667℃和680℃。表明胶北地块部分卷入了三叠纪苏鲁-大别超高压变质带的俯冲-碰撞造山过程,并遭受了角闪岩相变质作用叠加。

Metamorphism and deformation of blueschist belts and their tectonic implications, North Qilian Mountains, China

Abstract Two blueschist belts in the North Qilian Mountains occur in Middle Cambrian and Lower Ordovician strata and strike N30–35°W for about 500 km along the Caledonian fold belt on the south-west margin of the Sino-Korean plate. The styles of metamorphism and deformation are quite different in the two belts. The Middle Cambrian to Ordovician rocks in the high-grade belt are mainly blueschists and C-type eclogites in which six phases of lower and upper crustal deformation have been recognized. The rocks contain glaucophane, phengite, epidote, clinozoisite, chlorite, garnet, stilpnomelane, piedmontite, albite, titanite and quartz. The estimated P–T conditions of eclogites are 340 ± 10°C, 8 ± 1 kbar and, of blueschist, >380°C, 6–7 kbar. The Ordovician rocks in the low-grade belt are characterized by ductile to brittle deformation in the middle to upper crust. The low-grade blueschists contain glaucophane, lawsonite, pumpellyite, aragonite, albite and chlorite. The estimated P–T conditions are 150–250°C and 4–7 kbar.
K–Ar and ³⁹Ar/⁴⁰Ar geochronology on glaucophane and phengite from the high-grade blueschist belt suggest two stages of metamorphism at 460–440 and 400–380 Ma, which may represent the times of subduction and orogeny. The subduction metamorphism of the northern low-grade blueschist belt took place approximately at the end of the Ordovician.     

Metamorphism and tectonic evolution of the Lancang paired metamorphic belts, south-western China

Abstract The Lancang metamorphic terrane consists of an eastern low- P/T belt and a western high- P/T belt divided by a N–S-trending fault. Protoliths of both units are mid–late Proterozoic basement and its cover. The low- P/T belt includes the Permian Lincang batholith, related amphibolite facies rocks of the Damenglong and Chongshan groups, and Permo-Triassic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. Most whole-rock Rb–Sr isochron and U–Pb zircon ages of the Lincang batholith are in the range 290–279 and 254–212 Ma, respectively. Metamorphism of the low- P/T belt reaches upper amphibolite with local granulite facies (735°C at 5 kbar), subsequently retrogressed at 450–500°C during post-Triassic time. The high- P/T rocks grade from west to east from blueschist through transitional blueschist/greenschist to epidote amphibolite facies. Estimated P–T conditions follow the high- P intermediate facies series up to about 550–600°C, at which oligoclase is stable. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau age of sodic amphibole in blueschist is 279 Ma.
The paired metamorphic belts combined with the spatial and temporal distribution of other blueschist belts lead us to propose a tentative tectonic history of south-east Asia since the latest Precambrian. Tectonic juxtaposition of paired belts with contrasting P–T conditions, perhaps during collision of the Baoshan block with south-east Asia, suggests that an intervening oceanic zone existed that has been removed. The Baoshan block is a microcontinent rifted from the northern periphery of Gondwana. Successive collision and amalgamation of microcontinents from either Gondwana or the Panthalassan ocean resulted in rapid southward continental growth of c. 500 km during the last 200 Ma. Hence, the Lancang region in south-east Asia represents a suture zone between two contrasting microcontinents.     

内蒙古头道桥地区蓝闪石片岩和相关变质岩石岩石学特征及其构造意义

内蒙古头道桥地区出露了一套经高压变质形成的岩石组合。本次研究通过岩相学和矿物化学分析,根据矿物组合的不同,识别出蓝片岩、绿片岩两种不同类型的岩石类型。其中,蓝片岩的矿物组合为角闪石（蓝闪石、蓝透闪石）+绿帘石+钠长石+绿泥石+石英+赤铁矿±多硅白云母±方解石±榍石;绿片岩的矿物组合为绿泥石+钠长石+石英±绿帘石±角闪石（阳起石、镁角闪石、蓝透闪石、冻蓝闪石等）±多硅白云母±赤铁矿。确定了蓝片岩的峰期变质级别为绿帘-蓝闪片岩相,峰期变质温度为400~600℃,压力为1.2~1.4 GPa。绿片岩的峰期变质级别为绿帘-角闪岩相。结合前人研究成果,认为蓝片岩和绿片岩的形成与额尔古纳地块和兴安地块的碰撞拼合有关。
