桐柏-大别山区高压变质相的构造配置

作为华北和扬子陆块间的碰撞造山带桐柏大别山区以发育高压、超高压变质带为特征,从南到北变质相从低级到高级,代表俯冲带深度不同的变质产物,整体形成高压变质相系列。不过现今各变质相岩石的分布极受后期地壳规模的伸展构造控制,大别杂岩的穹隆作用更使高压变质相带的空间分布复杂化。超高压变质岩今日多呈大小不等的块体嵌布于相对低压的大别杂岩之内,造山带根部物质的热软化,使许多深层地幔物质得以像挤牙膏一样挤出于大别杂岩内。它们之中广泛发育着减压退变质的显微结构,与大别杂岩内一些麻粒岩相表壳岩所保存的减压退变质证迹一样,同是挤出作用和碰撞后隆升的构造证迹。高压相系的发育使南桐柏山和大别山迥然不同于桐商（ 商丹） 断裂以北的北秦岭北淮阳变质带。新近发表的同位素年代学（４０Ａｒ ３９ Ａｒ） 资料：３１６ ～４３４ Ｍａ ,已证明北秦岭是古生代变质带,它与桐柏－ 大别印支期碰撞造山带差异甚大。这两个变质地温梯度差异甚大的变质地体的拼合,说明华北和扬子陆块碰撞的主缝合带是商丹－ 桐商断裂带

苏鲁高压-超高压变质地体南缘高压与超高压变质带原岩的接触关系及其地质意义

苏鲁高压-超高压变质地体南缘高压与超高压变质带接触关系的确定对该地区构造格局的建立具有重要的意义。研究表明苏鲁高压-超高压变质地体南缘高压变质带内的锦屏群底部含砾岩层不整合覆盖于超高压变质带南部的朐山花岗片麻岩之上，含砾岩层中的砾石虽然经历了后期的塑性变形改造，但其地质特征仍展示出地层下部层位沉积砾石特有的性质。此外，同位素年代学研究揭示出朐山花岗片麻岩与锦屏群变质岩的原岩分别形成于859Ma和814Ma。这些都说明锦屏群变质岩与下伏朐山花岗片麻岩原岩之间的接触关系为角度不整合。在后期的构造运动过程中它们一起经历了高压-超高压变质变形作用，折返过程中锦屏群变质岩向北西西方向逆冲，形成叠加于不整合接触面的韧性剪切带。     

高压相变晶体化学:Ⅰ.高压下SiO_2物相氧硅离子的半径变化和迁移行为

高压下随着压力增加,氧化物及硅酸盐矿物中的阳离子会发生从配位数低的多面体向配位数高的多面体迁移的现象,这种迁移是由于阴阳离子半径的比值发生改变引起的。对SiO2在高压下形成的各种多形的氧和硅的离子半径进行计算,发现氧离子半径是随压力增加及相变的发生而逐渐缩小,但硅离子半径随压力增加及相变的发生而有明显的增大。这种现象可能是在高压下离子化合物逐渐向金属相化合物转变引起的。     

高压-超高压变质岩石中石榴石的环带和成因

在俯冲带变质过程中,石榴石是高压-超高压变质榴辉岩和片麻岩的常见变质矿物。由于石榴石具有难熔和流体中的低溶解能力的特点,通常可以很好地保存下来,并且能够保留复杂的化学成分环带,以及不同类型的矿物或流体包裹体,为解释石榴石寄主岩石经历的变质演化历史提供了重要信息。石榴子石的主微量元素成分受控于很多因素,如全岩成分、变质的温压条件、控制石榴子石形成的相关变质反应、与石榴子石共生的矿物种类和成分等。因此,在利用石榴石探讨超高压变质的演化历史时,对石榴石进行系统的主要元素、微量元素、氧同位素以及矿物包裹体分析,以及相互间的成因关系。同时,对石榴石中的锆石或独居石包裹体并进行原位U-Pb定年和微量元素分析,可以为变质石榴石的形成时代提供直接的时间制约。深入研究超高压变质岩中石榴石的生长阶段,不仅可以为含石榴石寄主岩石的变质过程提供岩石学和地球化学证据,而且对于理解石榴石的形成机制、生长规律及其变质化学动力学过程具有重要的科学意义。     

藏北羌塘中部高压变质带中石榴子石白云母片岩的岩石学和变质特征

羌塘中部的高压变质带位于龙木错-双湖-澜沧江板块缝合带之上,由榴辉岩、蓝片岩和石榴子石白云母片岩组成,其形成过程对探讨板块缝合带的构造演化具有重要意义。以其中的石榴子石白云母片岩为研究对象,通过岩相学研究并结合电子探针成分分析,认为石榴子石白云母片岩中的石榴子石具有多期次变质结晶的特征,保留了岩石多期次变质的信息。结合岩石组构特征,最终确定石榴子石白云母片岩至少经历了3期次的变质作用。第一、二期均为绿片岩相,当时岩石不具定向构造且未达到高压;第三期为低温高压蓝片岩相变质作用,与区域上蓝片岩的形成及榴辉岩的蓝片岩相退变质作用大体同时,该期变质变形作用形成了岩石的片理,最终成为石榴子石白云母片岩,变质作用时代为218Ma左右。     

大别山超高压变质带中牛凸岭地区低温-高压榴辉岩的发现及其意义

依据时南大别超高压带腹地的榴辉岩野外地质调查、岩相学和热力学的研究表明,南大别腹地--牛凸岭地区榴辉岩属于低温高压榴辉岩,并未经历超高压变质作用.该地区榴辉岩的共生围岩主要为片岩、片麻岩和斜长角闪岩,石榴石多为自形-半自形,内含大量的早期矿物包体,峰期变质温压条件分别为:T=360～520℃;P=1.3～2.4GPa.对比南大别超高压榴辉岩形成的变质条件,两者压力差可达0.7GPa,约20km厚的地壳深度缺失.结合构造分析牛凸岭单元更类似于桐城-源潭铺高压块体,推测其属于构造上层部位岩片.     

湖北钟祥莲花山矿段第一磷矿层分布的制约因素及找矿意义

湖北钟祥莲花山矿段为大型磷矿床,其第一磷矿层(Ph1)的矿体分布不均匀。通过研究矿层顶底板的岩石,探讨了矿体分布的规律性。研究认为,底板岩石(页岩和含锰白云岩)的厚度与Ph1厚度相关性很高,并严格制约着Ph1的分布,表明在莲花山矿段因沉积时地势的起伏导致古海水深度不同,水体较深的区域一般沉积有含矿层位,水体较浅的区域含矿层变薄甚至缺失。这一规律可指导成矿预测及矿床深边部的找矿工作。

Neoproterozoic high-pressure/low-temperature metamorphic rocks in the Avalon terrane, southern New Brunswick, Canada

High‐P/low‐T metamorphic rocks of the Hammondvale metamorphic suite (HMS) are exposed in an area of 10 km² on the NW margin of the Caledonian (Avalon) terrane in southern New Brunswick, Canada. The HMS is in faulted contact on the SE with c. 560–550 Ma volcanic and sedimentary rocks and co‐magmatic plutonic units of the Caledonian terrane. The HMS consists of albite‐ and garnet‐porphyroblastic mica schist, with minor marble, calc‐silicate rocks and quartzite. Pressure and temperature estimates from metamorphic assemblages in the mica schist and calc‐silicate rocks using TWQ indicate that peak pressure conditions were 12.4 kbar at 430 °C. Peak temperature conditions were 580 °C at 9.0 kbar. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar muscovite ages from three samples range up to 618–615 Ma, a minimum age for high‐P/low‐T metamorphism in this unit. These ages indicate that the HMS is related to the c. 625–600 Ma subduction‐generated volcanic and plutonic units exposed to the SE in the Caledonian terrane. The ages are also similar to those obtained from detrital muscovite in a Neoproterozoic‐Cambrian sedimentary sequence in the Caledonian terrane, suggesting that the HMS was exposed by latest Neoproterozoic time and supplied detritus to the sedimentary units. The HMS is interpreted to represent a fragment of an accretionary complex, similar to the Sanbagawa Belt in Japan. It confirms the presence of a major cryptic suture between the Avalon terrane sensu stricto and the now‐adjacent Brookville terrane.     

Metamorphic petrology of a high-pressure, low-temperature subduction complex in west-central Baja California, Mexico

Abstract The Western Baja terrane (WBt) of west-central Baja California is an uplifted subduction complex that is divided into smaller 'subterranes'on the basis of bounding faults and petrological differences. Each subterrane contains coherent Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous sedimentary and mafic volcanic rocks (not melange) that have been metamorphosed under blueschist facies conditions. Key phases in metabasites and metaturbidites include jadeitic to acmitic clinopyroxene, sodic amphibole, lawsonite, aragonite, chlorite, titanite and white mica. Pressure indicators include the jadeite content of clinopyroxene and the presence of aragonite. Temperature indicators include the presence of lawsonite, the absence of greenschist facies minerals and results from vitrinite reflectance studies. Conditions at the peak of metamorphism were >8 kbar, 225–325°C for subterrane 1, 7–8 kbar, 170–220°C for subterrane 2, and 5–6 kbar, 175–200°C for subterrane 3; these correspond to cold geothermal gradients (6–9/km). Vein assemblages that include aegerine–jadeite and aegerine, albite, aragonite, lawsonite and sodic amphibole indicate uplift during continued cold conditions, probably during steady-state subduction.     

Deserpentinization and high-pressure(eclogite-facies) metamorphic features in the Eoarchean ultramafic body from Isua,Greenland

Discontinuous chains of ultramafic rock bodies form part of the 3800–3700 Ma Isua Supracrustal Belt(ISB),hosted in the Itsaq Gneiss Complex of southwestern Greenland.These bodies are among the world’s oldest outcrops of ultramafic rocks and hence an invaluable geologic record.Ultramafic rocks from Lens B in the northwestern limb of ISB show characteristics of several stages of serpentinization and deserpentinization forming prograde and retrograde mineral assemblages.Ti-rich humite-group minerals such as titanian chondrodite(Ti-Chn)and titanian clinohumite(Ti-Chu)often occur as accessory phases in the metamorphosed ultramafic rocks.The Ti-rich humite minerals are associated with metamorphic olivine.The host olivine is highly forsteritic(Fo96-98)with variable Mn O and Ni O contents.The concentrations of the rare-earth elements(REE)and high-field strength elements(HFSE)of the metamorphic olivine are higher than typical mantle olivine.The textural and chemical characteristics of the olivine indicate metamorphic origin as a result of deserpentinization of a serpentinized ultramafic protolith rather than primary assemblage reflecting mantle residues from high-degrees of partial melting.The close association of olivine,antigorite and intergrown Ti-Chn and Ti-Chu suggests pressure condition between$1.3–2.6 GPa within the antigorite stability field(<700°C).The overall petrological and geochemical features of Lens B ultramafic body within the Eoarchean ISB indicate that these are allochthonous ultramafic rocks that recorded serpentine dehydration at relatively lower temperature and reached eclogite facies condition during their complex metamorphic history similar to exhumed UHP ultramafic rocks in modern subduction zone channels.     

大别山桐城地区雷庄低温高压榴辉岩的增温退变P-T轨迹及其构造含义

早期的研究显示大别山东段(安徽部分)出露的榴辉岩均为中温榴辉岩,并没有其他类型榴辉岩存在.本研究通过对桐城地区雷庄附近的榴辉岩野外地质调查、岩相学、矿物成分化学以及热力学分析表明,该地区榴辉岩为低温高压榴辉岩.榴辉岩的P-T演化特征研究区分了5个变质阶段,展示了一个"发卡式"增温退变轨迹.Ⅰ-阶段的变质温压为T=390～411℃,P=0.89～1.40GPa;Ⅱ-阶段为T=527～544℃,P=1.95～2.34GPa.该阶段为峰期变质,代表了板片俯冲最大深度;Ⅲ-阶段为T=501～519℃,P=1.74～2.14GPa;Ⅳ-阶段为T=630和P=1.22GPa;Ⅴ-阶段为T=350℃,P=0.20GPa.由Ⅲ-阶段至Ⅳ-阶段随着压力的降低,温度明显增加,反映了一个退变增温的演化趋势.这种增温可能是由于低温榴辉岩对温度变化的敏感,以及榴辉岩板片在折返至地壳某一深度停滞时间较长,北大别热穹隆和地温梯度的恢复是导致增温的热源.     

Origin and mechanical significance of honeycomb garnet in high-pressure metasedimentary rocks from the Tauern Window, Eastern Alps

High-pressure schists (2–2.5 GPa) from the Eclogite Zone in the Tauern Window contain honeycomb garnet in which fine webs of garnet surround strain-free quartz ± carbonate grains. High-resolution X-ray computed tomography shows that the garnet webs form a cellular structure that coats all surfaces of the inclusions. Electron backscatter diffraction analysis shows that the garnet cells are crystallographically continuous with more massive garnet regions, and that the quartz ± carbonate inclusions have random orientations; in contrast, matrix quartz exhibits a prominent crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO). High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows few dislocations in either the garnet or the inclusion quartz. Most honeycomb garnet is chemically homogeneous, but some displays asymmetric core–rim zoning. Taken together, these observations are most consistent with formation of the garnet sheets via precipitation from a wetting fluid along quartz–quartz grain boundaries, or possibly via wholesale precipitation of garnet + quartz ± carbonate from a fluid. In either case, a silicate-rich aqueous fluid must have been present. The likelihood that a fully wetting fluid existed at high pressure has important implications for rheology during subduction of metasedimentary rocks: strain may be accommodated by grain rotation and sliding in an aqueous silicate slurry, rather than via dislocation creep mechanisms at high pressures. The absence of a CPO in early quartz may thus point to involvement of a pervasive grain-boundary fluid rather than requiring low differential stresses during subduction.     

Graphitization in a high-pressure,low-temperature metamorphic gradient: a Raman microspectroscopy and HRTEM study

The graphitization of carbonaceous material (CM) in a high-pressure metamorphic gradient is characterized along a cross section in the Schistes Lustrés formation, Western Alps. Along this 25-km cross section, both the CM precursor and the host-rock lithology are homogeneous, and the prograde evolution of the pressure-temperature metamorphic conditions from the lower blueschist-facies (13 kbar, 330 °C) to the eclogite-facies (20 kbar, 500 °C) is tightly constrained by literature data. Raman microspectroscopy shows that at the micrometre scale, this process is progressive and continuous with increasing metamorphic grade, and that the structure of CM is very sensitive to temperature variations. At the nanometre scale (HRTEM), the CM is composed of a mixture of a microporous phase and an onion-ring like phase, both known as non-graphitizing under the effect of temperature at ambient pressure. The HP-LT graphitization produces structurally and microtexturally heterogeneous CM. With increasing metamorphic grade, the graphitization of the two types of CM proceeds up to the triperiodic graphite stage because of microtextural and structural changes that are specific to each type of CM. The microporous material is progressively transformed into graphite through a macroporous transitional stage. In this case, graphitization mainly occurs on the pore walls as a result of pore growth. In the case of concentric onion-ring like material, graphitization occurs in the regions with the largest radius of curvature, i.e. on the outer part of the ring. In comparison with 1-bar experiments, pressure seems to induce microtextural changes, which allows the subsequent structural modifications of the starting material.
