川西稻城岩体岩浆混合作用：矿物学特征的证据

义敦岛弧形成于晚三叠世大规模俯冲造山作用过程中,位于松潘甘孜地体和羌塘地体之间。稻城边部岩体是义敦岛弧带内规模巨大的复式花岗质岩体,由花岗岩、花岗闪长岩和钾长花岗岩组成。大量暗色镁铁质微粒包体发育于花岗闪长岩和钾长花岗岩中,且其与寄主岩石的接触界线明显。暗色镁铁质微粒包体具有细粒结构,发育石英眼构造、针状磷灰石和具环带结构的斜长石斑晶。文中以稻城岩体寄主岩石和暗色微粒包体中斜长石、黑云母和角闪石为研究对象,开展岩相学和电子探针原位化学成分分析,厘定了矿物形成的物理化学条件,探讨了岩浆混合作用过程及其形成的构造环境。研究表明：花岗闪长岩和暗色微粒包体中的斜长石主要为中长石,其核部呈浑圆状;前者核部的An值(21~50)显著高于幔部(21~34);后者则发育典型的突变环带,An值(29~44)呈波状变化且相对集中。暗色微粒包体与寄主花岗闪长岩中斜长石的An值部分重叠表明二者形成过程中存在含量的岩浆混合作用。斜长石环带中的An值随Al2O3、FeO、MgO和CaO含量的升高而升高,但随SiO2、Na2O和K2O含量的升高而降低。寄主岩石和暗色微粒包体中角闪石富镁铁,阳离子特征为：CaB=1.56~1.75,Ti=0.08~0.13,属于钙质角闪石,具壳源特征,其结晶温度分别为697~725 ℃和680~705 ℃。花岗闪长岩中黑云母的Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)为0.37~0.45,显示出富Fe贫Ca、Mg,属于典型的岩浆成因黑云母。黑云母TiO2含量变化范围为3.54%~4.62%,Al2O3含量变化范围为13.89%~15.15%;黑云母的氧化系数为0.08~0.11,Mg#为0.39~0.46,MF值为0.36~0.44,单位分子中阳离子数AlⅥ为0.03~0.11,以单位分子中Ti和Al阳离子数计算的黑云母结晶温度为584~624 ℃,表明其结晶温度较高,具壳幔混源特征。稻城岩体是以壳源为主的壳幔混源成因的I型花岗岩,暗色微粒包体是由镁铁质岩浆与长英质岩浆不同程度的混合作用形成的。     

岩浆混合作用与火成岩多样性的耦合关系:以东昆仑造山带白日其利长英质岩体为例

壳-幔岩浆相互作用如何影响长英质火成岩的岩石学多样性是当前岩石学研究的焦点问题之一.以岩石类型丰富的东昆仑白日其利长英质岩体和暗色微粒包体为研究对象,开展系统的锆石U-Pb年代学、矿物学、全岩元素地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素研究,探讨和解析这一重要科学问题.LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb年代学研究表明,暗色微粒包体（247.8±2.0 Ma）与二长花岗岩（247.5±1.4 Ma）、花岗闪长岩（248.8±2.1 Ma）和石英闪长岩（248.8±1.5 Ma）均侵位结晶于早三叠世.岩相学和矿物学研究表明,白日其利长英质岩石与包体的成因机制与壳-幔岩浆的机械或化学混合作用密切相关.元素地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成研究揭示,幔源镁铁质岩浆端元起源于受俯冲板片流体交代的富集地幔熔融,而壳源长英质岩浆端元则起源于东昆仑古老的变质杂砂岩基底.岩石成因分析揭示,幔源镁铁质岩浆侵入长英质晶粥岩浆房,促使长英质晶粥发生活化,随后壳-幔岩浆端元以不同比例和不同方式发生机械和化学混合等相互作用,从而形成镁铁质岩墙、包体、石英闪长岩和花岗闪长岩等多种岩石类型.晶粥状态下壳-幔岩浆相互作用是控制东昆仑长英质火成岩多样性和大陆地壳生长演化的重要方式.      

西藏冈底斯带始新世曲水岩基的岩浆混合作用:来自斜长石阴极发光特征和成分变化的证据

斜长石作为主要造岩矿物,是研究岩石成因、示踪岩浆演化和岩浆混合过程的有效工具.对冈底斯带曲水岩基始新世花岗闪长岩、二长花岗岩、闪长岩脉和暗色包体中的斜长石进行了阴极发光图像结构特征、电子探针主量元素和LA-ICP-MS微量元素成分的分析,揭示了斜长石复杂环带的成因和相关的岩浆过程.该区斜长石的阴极发光图像呈现出多种颜色且与其An值相对应,随着An值降低依次为绿色、蓝色和暗灰色或暗红色等,并发育补丁状环带、筛状环带、韵律环带等.花岗闪长岩、二长花岗岩中斜长石的An值具有相似的变化范围(20~55),而闪长岩脉和暗色包体中An值的变化范围较大(25~85),表明曲水岩基经历了复杂的开放过程.微量元素结果表明:花岗闪长岩与闪长岩脉和暗色微粒包体具有相同的Sr含量范围(600×10^-6~1 100×10^-6);而二长花岗岩的Sr含量(1 000×10^-6~2 400×10^-6)整体高于前者.以上研究表明,花岗闪长岩中阴极发光呈现绿色的核部或幔部是偏中性岩浆注入寄主岩岩浆混合的结果;具有高Sr含量的二长花岗岩认为是高Sr含量的岩浆结晶形成的;闪长岩脉和暗色微粒包体中的筛状结构斜长石为寄主岩捕掳晶.     

青海南山构造带西段黑马河花岗杂岩体锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学特征及其地质意义

本文对青海南山构造带西段黑马河花岗杂岩体中的石英闪长岩和花岗闪长岩以及花岗闪长岩中的暗色微粒包体进行了详细的岩石学、岩石地球化学和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究。结果表明,花岗闪长岩及暗色微粒包体的结晶年龄分别为244.4±1.1 Ma和243.0±1.2 Ma,表明岩体形成于中三叠世早期。石英闪长岩和花岗闪长岩为准铝质高钾钙碱性系列,暗色微粒包体为高钾钙碱性—钾玄岩系列,稀土元素配分曲线均具有轻重稀土明显分异的右倾特征,具弱负Eu异常(δEu=0.65~0.83),富集大离子亲石元素(Cs、Rb、Th、K)和Pb,亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Ti)和P、Ba负异常。岩相学和岩石地球化学特征指示黑马河花岗杂岩体具壳幔岩浆混合特征,形成于活动大陆边缘的俯冲环境,石英闪长岩为受俯冲流体交代的地幔楔部分熔融产生的基性岩浆演化的产物,花岗闪长岩则源自壳源岩浆与少量幔源岩浆的混合。黑马河花岗杂岩体是中三叠世早期宗务隆洋向南俯冲消减的岩浆记录。     

西藏曲水碰撞花岗岩的混合成因：来自成因矿物学证据

西藏曲水碰撞花岗岩地处冈底斯构造-岩浆带中部,呈东西向平行雅鲁藏布缝合带分布.该岩体以花岗闪长岩、石英闪长岩为主,其次为石英二长闪长岩.岩体内普遍发育微粒镁铁质包体.对花岗闪长岩、石英闪长岩及微粒镁铁质包体的成因矿物学研究结果显示：（1）斜长石发育环带且边缘和核部偏基性,幔部酸性;（2）斜长石斑晶边缘常含有角闪石、黑云母等暗色矿物包体;（3）钾长石X射线结构分析显示自核部向边缘温度呈现逐渐升高的特点;（4）长石矿物中普遍含有较高的Cr、Ni、Co元素,明显不同于壳熔花岗岩;（5）角闪石、黑云母矿物MgO含量高于典型壳熔花岗岩;（6）包体中发育针状磷灰石和角闪石,显示为岩浆淬冷的结果.上述特征不可能用正常岩浆分异作用来解释,而更可能是壳-幔岩浆混合作用的结果.采用矿物温压计所得到的结果也符合混合后的岩浆演化特征.     

东昆仑东段香加南山花岗岩基斜长石成分组成与岩浆演化和混合作用

东昆仑东段香加南山花岗岩基岩浆混合作用明显,斜长石作为主要造岩矿物,是研究岩石成因、示踪岩浆演化和岩浆混合过程的有效工具。对香加南山花岗岩基中寄主岩及暗色微粒包体中的斜长石进行岩相学和矿物化学研究。电子探针结果显示:寄主岩中正常环带斜长石(39~48,21~36)、包体中斜长石捕掳晶(41~49,35~36,43~49,31~47,27~38)和寄主岩矿物中包裹斜长石(29~45,14~32)具有演化的An值;部分寄主岩斜长石核部由于受到后期蚀变具有较高的An值(59~72)。包体中基质斜长石大部分具核边结构,核部(52,31)和边部(33~37,25)An值存在间断;少量斜长石核部受到蚀变,An值较低(49),幔部(55~71)An值高于边部(46~49);部分包体中基质斜长石核部呈补丁状,暗色部分An值较高(66),浅色部分An值较低(33~39)。包体中斜长石捕掳晶主要分为干净斜长石捕掳晶和含有矿物的斜长石捕掳晶两大类,干净斜长石环带明显或聚片双晶发育,An值变化范围较小(41~49,35~36);含有暗色矿物的斜长石捕掳晶An值整体也呈震荡变化(43~49,31~47,27~38),但由于受到蚀变,部分测点An值较高(78),少量斜长石具有高An值增生边(73)。以上研究显示,结晶于寄主岩的斜长石正常演化序列反映寄主岩从演化早期到晚期,岩浆逐渐从偏基性向酸性转变;包体基质斜长石为包体进入寄主岩温度、压力和水饱和度降低导致斜长石受到熔蚀后继续结晶结果;包体中斜长石捕掳晶来自寄主岩,由于进入包体后温度和压力产生变化,以及后期生长,导致斜长石的成分和构造有所不同。香加南山花岗岩基及暗色微粒包体中斜长石的复杂环带为幔源镁铁质岩浆注入长英质岩浆混合作用的结果。     

新疆东准噶尔二台北花岗岩体和包体的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

高精度SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,二台北花岗闪长岩的形成时代为299.3±8.7Ma,代表了岩浆侵入到上地壳的年龄;其中所含的暗色微粒包体形成时代为301.5±6.6Ma,与寄主岩石的时代在误差范围内完全相同。结合野外、岩相学和主量、微量元素地球化学特征分析,偏基性的暗色微粒闪长质包体与寄主花岗闪长质岩浆并非有直接成因联系,包体可能是由过冷的镁铁质岩浆混入到花岗闪长质岩浆中发生快速冷凝,然后被花岗闪长质岩浆携带、侵入到上地壳中形成的。因此,花岗闪长岩及其包体才能够具有相同的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄。二台北岩体与东准噶尔广泛分布的以碱性花岗岩为代表的后碰撞花岗岩具有相同的形成时代,乌伦古-斋桑泊断裂北侧的花岗闪长岩、石英闪长岩等和断裂南侧的碱性花岗岩、钾长花岗岩等的形成时代非常相近,应该是同一期岩浆活动的产物,无法区分出先后顺序。而这些岩体普遍具有低的~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr初始比值和正的ε_(Nd)(t)值,表明它们都是新疆北部晚古生代幔源岩浆活动的产物,它们的形成和演化提供了准噶尔地区后碰撞幔源岩浆底侵作用导致大陆地壳垂向生长过程的信息。     

东准库布苏南岩体LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年

LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果显示,库布苏南花岗闪长岩形成时代为(287±2)Ma,MSWD=0.15,包体年龄为(286±3)Ma,MSWl3=0.22,两者在误差范围内完全一致,表明花岗闪长岩和暗色微粒包体是同时代形成的.包体是岩浆混合作用的产物.是过冷的镁铁质岩浆混入到中酸性岩浆中经快速冷凝的结果.在岩浆混合过程中,基性的包体岩浆和中酸性的寄主岩浆通过化学扩散发生成分交换,使包体受到了花岗闪长质岩浆的改造和同化.这可能就是库布苏南花岗闪长岩及其包体LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄相同的原因所在.库布苏南花岗闪长岩形成的时代属于东准噶尔后碰撞深成岩浆活动的范围330～265Ma,略晚于东准噶尔乌伦古河碱性花岗岩和卡拉麦里碱性花岗岩的形成时代(300 Ma左右),均为准噶尔周边地区后碰撞岩浆活动的产物,其形成和演化标志了准噶尔地区后碰撞幔源岩浆底侵作用导致大陆地壳垂向生长的过程.     

滇西勐养花岗岩体暗色包体的地球化学特征及成因

勐养侵入岩体主要由黑云母二长花岗岩(128 Ma)、花岗闪长岩(113 Ma)和辉长质(123 Ma)、闪长质包体(120Ma)组成。暗色包体主要分布在花岗闪长岩中,包体岩性主要为辉长岩包体和闪长岩包体。包体具有岩浆结构,部分包体具有塑性流变特征,有些包体具有淬冷边和反向脉,包体中可见针状磷灰石,表现出岩浆混合的岩相学特征。岩石地球化学特征研究表明,寄主岩石与暗色包体同为准铝质-过铝质、钙碱性-高钾钙碱性系列岩石。寄主岩石与暗色包体的的稀土配分曲线模式和微量元素原始地幔标准化蛛网图形态基本一致,为岩浆混合作用的结果。所有样品均富集大离子亲石元素(如Rb、Th、U和Nd)、亏损高场强元素(如Nb、Ta、Ce和Zr)。勐养早白垩世侵入岩形成于岩浆弧环境。暗色包体具有低的Si O2含量(Si O2为48.02%和59.8%)和高的Mg#值(Mg#=48.1~68.5),表明暗色包体的原生岩浆应是板块俯冲带流体交代地幔橄榄岩的部分熔融的产物,并受后期岩浆混合作用的改造。暗色包体锆石的εHf(t)为3.6~6.2,Nb/Ta值为12.1~15.4,显示岩浆源区具有亏损地幔特征。黑云二长花岗岩的Mg#=33.5,Nb/Ta值为10.9,表明岩浆主要来源于古老的地壳物质的部分熔融。花岗闪长岩锆石的Mg#=44,Nb/Ta值为12.5,岩浆主要来源于地幔和地壳,为黑云二长花岗岩与幔源岩浆混合作用的产物。腾冲地块早白垩世勐养侵入岩体及其暗色包体的的成因,是左贡—保山板块洋壳向南西俯冲在波密—腾冲地块之下,使区域地壳不断加厚并导致区域重力均衡隆升,深部地壳物质在加热后抬升减压过程中发生部分熔融,形成大量的花岗岩浆。由于俯冲洋壳板块在俯冲、碰撞过程中诱导的幔源岩浆与重熔物质发生岩浆混合作用,形成花岗闪长岩和暗色包体。     

班公湖-怒江成矿带西段阿翁错地区早白垩世花岗闪长岩的成因及构造背景——来自斜长石和黑云母化学成分的约束

阿翁错地区早白垩世花岗闪长岩位于班公湖-怒江成矿带西段,广泛发育暗色微粒包体,是研究岩浆混合作用的理想对象。本文从地质学、岩相学和矿物化学等方面对花岗闪长岩开展了详细研究。包体形态多样,与寄主岩呈渐变或截然型接触关系,包体与寄主岩之间相互穿插,接触带发育冷凝边,包体从寄主岩中捕获了大量捕虏晶矿物,包体和寄主岩中均见针状磷灰石。电子探针结果显示:具正环带特征的寄主岩斜长石An值变化范围不大,在48.16～59.05之间,具致密韵律环带特征,可能代表镁铁质岩浆注入长英质岩浆房前结晶的斜长石;具反环带特征斜长石的An值变化范围较大,核部An值为29.86,往外An值陡增至51.09,整体呈逐渐增大趋势,暗示存在富钙基性岩浆的加入;具正-反环带特征的寄主岩斜长石核部至中间区域An值变化相对复杂,具稀疏韵律环带结构特征,反映斜长石结晶过程中因岩浆混合作用岩浆房环境发生突变,随着混合作用持续进行,岩浆逐渐冷却,斜长石在静态环境下继续结晶形成干净的正环带边部;包体斜长石虽然存在正环带,但其An值变化范围较大,在28.63～62.40之间,核部An值高,边部An值骤然降低,可能是镁铁质岩浆与长英质岩浆...     

东昆仑东段可日正长花岗岩年龄和岩石成因对东昆仑中三叠世构造演化的制约

可日岩体位于东昆仑造山带东段东昆北构造带,岩性为含暗色微粒包体正长花岗岩。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年结果显示寄主岩和暗色微粒包体的结晶年龄分别为231.58±0.49Ma和232.6±2.3Ma。可日正长花岗岩主体为弱过铝质中钾钙碱性I型花岗岩,具有较高的SiO_2含量(72.06%~74.49%)和Na_2O/K_2O(1.00~1.35)、Nb/Ta(15.4~27.9)比值,较低的值(14~31)和Rb/Ba(0.10~0.46)比值,富集大离子亲石元素(LILE),亏损高场强元素(HFSE)。岩体为巴颜喀拉地块同东昆仑地块碰撞后,板片断离持续作用产生的镁铁质熔体底侵中下地壳使其部分熔融的结果。暗色微粒包体同寄主岩具有相近的结晶年龄、较细粒度、含有寄主岩捕获晶、针状磷灰石,显示包体是镁铁质岩浆注入寄主岩快速冷却的产物。由于寄主岩分离结晶,残留熔体与包体的浓度梯度差导致元素扩散,使两者具有物质交换。东昆仑东段晚古生代-早中生代幔源岩浆对花岗质岩浆的影响是一个持续的过程,从俯冲阶段早期流体交代地幔熔融,到俯冲阶段后期板片断离,然后同碰撞阶段板片断离的持续影响,再到后碰撞阶段加厚地壳的拆沉作用,由于地球动力学体制不同,导致幔源岩浆影响的大小和特征不同。可日岩体年龄及岩石成因显示东昆仑地区在232Ma左右处于同碰撞阶段。     

内蒙古沙德盖花岗岩岩浆混合作用:岩相学、矿物化学和年代学证据

华北地台北缘乌拉山地区的沙德盖钾长花岗岩体中普遍发育以二长岩为主的暗色微粒包体,包体具塑性流变特征,与寄主岩的接触界线或为截然或为渐变过渡。岩相学观察表明,包体中发育多种反映岩浆混合作用的典型组构,如石英眼斑、环斑长石、镁铁质团块、钾长石巨晶的溶蚀、磷灰石的针柱状形貌、长石中的包体带以及钙长石的"针尖"结构等。造岩矿物的电子探针分析表明,岩浆混合在沙德盖岩体的形成中起了重要作用,寄主花岗岩浆主要来自下地壳,而暗色包体岩浆则主要为地幔来源。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素定年结果显示,沙德盖花岗岩及其暗色微粒包体的形成时代基本一致,分别为233.4±2.3Ma和229.7±1.5Ma(中三叠世),进一步佐证了该岩体是岩浆混合作用的产物。研究认为,当铁镁质岩浆与长英质岩浆混合时,早期基性岩浆的快速淬冷形成了边界清楚、具明显冷凝边且暗色矿物含量较高的包体;随着两种不同成分岩浆之间温差的减小以及组分的交换,进一步形成了颜色较浅、边界渐变过渡和无明显冷凝边的包体。     

Early Cretaceous Magma Mingling in Xiaocuo, Southeastern China Continental Margin: Implications for Subduction of Paleo-Pacific Plate

Magma mingling has been identified within the continental margin of southeastern China.This study focuses on the relationship between mafic and felsic igneous rocks in composite dikes and plutons in this area,and uses this relationship to examine the tectonic and geodynamic implications of the mingling of mafic and felsic magmas.Mafic magmatic enclaves(MMEs) show complex relationships with the hosting Xiaocuo granite in Fujian area,including lenticular to rounded porphyritic microgranular enclaves containing abundant felsic/mafic phenocrysts,elongate mafic enclaves,and back-veining of the felsic host granite into mafic enclaves.LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb analyses show crystallization of the granite and dioritic mafic magmatic enclave during ca.132 and 116 Ma.The host granite and MMEs both show zircon growth during repeated thermal events at-210 Ma and 160-180 Ma.Samples from the magma mingling zone generally contain felsic-derived zircons with well-developed growth zoning and aspect ratios of 2-3,and maficderived zircons with no obvious oscillatory zoning and with higher aspect ratios of 5-10.However,these two groups of zircons show no obvious trace element or age differences.The Hf-isotope compositions show that the host granite and MMEs have similar ε_(Hf)(t) values from negative to positive which suggest a mixed source from partial melting of the Meso-Neoproterozoic with involvement of enriched mantlederived magmas or juvenile components.The lithologies,mineral associations,and geochemical characteristics of the mafic and felsic rocks in this study area indicate that both were intruded together,suggesting Early Cretaceous mantle—crustal interactions along the southeastern China continental margin.The Early Cretaceous magma mingling is correlated to subduction of Paleo-Pacific plate.     

东昆仑造山带东段晚古生代—早中生代构造岩浆演化与成矿作用

东昆仑造山带位于中央造山系西段,在长期的地质演化过程中构造岩浆活动频繁,其中晚古生代—早中生代岩浆活动与成矿关系最为密切。本文系统总结了东昆仑造山带晚古生代—早中生代岩浆岩的分布、演化和成因,对典型矿床的地质特征进行分析,探讨东昆仑东段晚古生代—早中生代构造岩浆演化与成矿作用的联系。东昆仑晚古生代—早中生代构造岩浆演化可分为俯冲阶段(277~240 Ma)、同碰撞阶段(240~230 Ma)和后碰撞阶段(230~200 Ma),壳幔岩浆混合作用贯穿于古特提斯构造演化全过程。镁铁质岩浆岩主体为受俯冲流体交代的地幔部分熔融,花岗质岩浆岩主体为幔源岩浆底侵镁铁质下地壳部分熔融形成。东昆仑造山带东段俯冲阶段壳幔岩浆混合作用不仅带来成矿物质,使部分元素含量增高,还带来热源;经过成矿流体物理化学条件改变,导致大量矿物质沉淀,形成矿床,主要成矿金属组合为Cu、Mo、Au,矿床规模相对较小;同碰撞阶段由于受到挤压应力,岩浆岩出露较少,矿床多沿大型断裂带分布,主要成矿金属组合也以Cu、Mo、Au为主;后碰撞阶段由于岩石圈地幔拆沉,东昆仑整体处于拉张环境,为地幔物质参与成矿和成矿流体运移提供了通道。特别是同碰撞和后碰撞的转换阶段,是东昆仑造山带东段晚古生代—早中生代的主要成矿期,主要成矿金属组合为Cu、Pb、Zn、Fe。     

Petrogenesis of Late Triassic mafic enclaves and host granodiorite in the Eastern Kunlun Orogenic Belt,China: Implications for the reworking of juvenile crust by delamination-induced asthenosphere upwelling

Late Triassic granitoids containing abundant mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) occur widely in the Eastern Kunlun Orogenic Belt (EKOB). In this work, we present mineral chemistry, zircon U-Pb ages and L-Hf isotopes, whole-rock chemistry and S-Nd isotope compositions of the MMEs and host granodiorite from the Huda pluton in the Elashan area within the easternmost domain of the EKOB. These rocks contain inherited (Meso- to Neoproterozoic) and xenocrystic (ca. 240 Ma) zircon grains that yield apparent older ages, whereas the magmatic zircons from MMEs and granodiorite yield similar weighted mean ages around 224 Ma, which are interpreted as their crystallization ages. The MMEs have low SiO₂ but high TiO₂, TFe₂O₃, CaO, MgO and MnO concentrations with relatively high Mg^# values (48–54) and 100MnO/(MnO + MgO + TFe₂O₃) ratios (1.2–1.6). They display identical Sr-Nd-Hf isotope compositions to the host granite. Combined with petrological evidence, we suggest that the MMEs are cognate cumulates that formed by pressure quenching during the late stage of magma evolution from the same parental magma of the host granodiorite, rather than a magma mixing origin. The granodiorite is calc-alkaline to high-K calc-alkaline, metaluminous I-type granite. They show relatively low SiO₂ and MnO, but high MgO, Al₂O₃, CaO and TFe₂O₃ contents with Mg^# values of 45–50. They are enriched in light rare earth elements (LREEs) and large ion lithophile elements (LILEs), such as Rb, Th, K and Pb, and are depleted in P and high field strength elements (HFSE) including Nb, Ta and Ti. These rocks display slightly negative Eu anomalies and low Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios. Together with the rim-ward chemically evolved nature of some phenocrysts, the comparatively high initial Sr isotope (0.70888–0.70912), low whole-rock ε_Nd(t) (−5.6 to −6.0) and zircon ε_Hf(t) (−3.3 to −0.1) values, and low Nb/Th (0.11–0.26) and Ta/U (0.53–0.68) ratios, we suggest that the granodiorite magma was sourced from the lower crust. Considering their comparatively young two-stage Nd and Hf model ages (1.42–1.49 Ga and 1.13–1.42 Ga, respectively) and same trace element character with the juvenile crust beneath the EKOB, we interpret the juvenile lower crust as the dominant source rocks for the granodiorite. Based on our data and regional geological evidence, we suggest that the partial melting of juvenile crust resulted from delamination-related asthenosphere mantle upwelling. The latter process resulted in extensive melting of the lower crust, producing a major Late Triassic magmatic flare-up event in the EKOB.     

Interaction of coeval felsic and mafic magmas from the Kanker granite,Pithora region,Bastar Craton,Central India

Field and petrographic studies are carried out to characterize the interactions of mafic and felsic magmas from Pithora region of the northeastern part of the Bastar Craton. The MMEs, syn-plutonic mafic dykes, cuspate contacts, magmatic flow textures, mingling and hybridization suggest the coeval emplacement of end member magmas. Petrographic evidences such as disequilibrium assemblages, resorption textures, quartz ocelli, rapakivi and poikilitic textures suggest magma mingling and mixing phenomena. Such features of mingling and mixing of the felsic and mafic magma manifest the magma chamber processes. Introduction of mafic magmas into the felsic magmas before initiation of crystallization of the latter, results in hybrid magmas under the influence of thermal and chemical exchange. The mechanical exchange occurs between the coexisting magmas due to viscosity contrast, if the mafic magma enters slightly later into the magma chamber, then the felsic magma starts to crystallize. Blobs of mafic magma form as MMEs in the felsic magma and they scatter throughout the pluton due to convection. At a later stage, if mafic magma enters the system after partial crystallization of felsic phase, mechanical interaction between the magmas leads to the formation of fragmented dyke or syn-plutonic mafic dyke. All these features are well-documented in the study area. Field and petrographic evidences suggest that the textural variations from Pithora region of Bastar Craton are the outcome of magma mingling, mixing and hybridization processes.     

Nature and origin of Triassic igneous activity in the Western Qinling Orogen: the Wenquan composite pluton example

The Western Qinling has been acknowledged to witness superimposed orogeny including north subduction of Paleotethys ocean and collision between North China and South China blocks; however, the precise timing constraints on transition of tectonic regime are remaining enigmatic. The Wenquan composite batholith comprising five phases and mafic enclaves is an ideal example to unlock this puzzle. The host granitoids are felsic, metaluminous to peraluminous, and high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic suite with I-type affinity. The mafic enclaves, however, are intermediate, and high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic. Zircon ages of multiple phases indicate an episodic growth lasting nearly 30 million years ranging from 238, 228, 218 to 208 Ma, consistent to Triassic igneous activity recording a transition regime from a subduction setting to a syn-collision setting and a post-collision setting in Western Qinling. Lead isotopes of whole-rock and K-feldspar at Wenquan and Lu-Hf isotopes of zircons separated from biotite monzogranite porphyry, porphyritic monzogranite, monzogranite porphyry, and hosted mafic enclaves suggest that the heat and the hot mafic melt initiated by the break-off of the northward subducting South China block lithosphere triggered partial melting of the Mesoproterozoic subcontinental lithospheric mantle to produce mafic magmas, and the underplated mafic magmas caused partial melting of the shallow subducted Mesoproterozoic lower crust generating granitic magmas at Wenquan. Combined our field observations and petrology study with a holistic review on previous geochronological and geochemical data of Triassic granitoids throughout the Western Qinling, we in this contribution proposed that the Triassic igneous activity in the Western Qinling corresponding to superimposed orogeny evolved from the northward subduction of Palaeotethys ocean (250–235 Ma) through syn-collision (228–215 Ma) to post-collision (215–185 Ma) between the North China and South China blocks.     

东昆仑东段香加南山花岗岩基中加鲁河中基性岩体形成时代、成因及其地质意义

东昆仑东段香加南山花岗岩基中加鲁河中基性岩体主要岩石类型包括角闪辉长岩和石英闪长岩。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年结果显示加鲁河中基性岩体的结晶年龄为220 Ma。岩体SiO_2含量较低,为47.91%~58.92%,Al_2O_3含量为15.54%~18.35%,Na2O为1.70%~3.34%,K_2O为0.58%~1.92%,Na_2O/K_2O比值为1.34~2.93,平均1.92,MgO含量为3.69%~8.24%,Mg~#为46~61,铝饱和指数A/CNK介于0.70~0.90之间,主体属于准铝质中钾钙碱性系列。岩体富集轻稀土元素,亏损重稀土元素,具明显的Eu负异常(δEu=0.40~0.59);微量元素富集Rb、Th、Ba等大离子亲石元素(LILE),亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素(HFSE)。岩石学和地球化学研究显示岩体在地壳深部和浅部经历了两次岩浆混合作用。在深部,幔源岩浆底侵作用使下地壳部分熔融形成长英质岩浆,两种岩浆不同比例混合,经过化学扩散均一化,从而具有相似的同位素特征和岩石地球化学特征。在地壳浅部,经深部混合的岩浆注入花岗质岩浆,岩浆边部同花岗岩完全混合形成加鲁河岩体中石英闪长岩,不完全混合则形成暗色微粒包体。对加鲁河中基性岩体研究表明,东昆仑东段在晚三叠世处于古特提斯演化的后碰撞阶段,在这一时期存在岩浆底侵事件。     

Timing of Magma Mixing in the Gangdisě Magmatic Belt during the India-Asia Collision： Zircon SHRIMP U-Pb Dating

Abstract  Abundant mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) extensively distribute in granitoids in the Gangdisê giant magmatic belt, within which the Qüxü batholith is the most typical MME‐bearing pluton. Systematic sampling for granodioritic host rock, mafic microgranular enclaves and gabbro nearby at two locations in the Qüxü batholith, and subsequent zircon SHRIMP II U‐Pb dating have been conducted. Two sets of isotopic ages for granodioritic host rock, mafic microgranular enclaves and gabbro are 50.4±1.3 Ma, 51.2±1.1 Ma, 47.0±1 Ma and 49.3±1.7 Ma, 48.9±1.1 Ma, 49.9±1.7 Ma, respectively. It thus rules out the possibilities of mafic microgranular enclaves being refractory residues after partial melting of magma source region, or being xenoliths of country rocks or later intrusions. Therefore, it is believed that the three types of rocks mentioned above likely formed in the same magmatic event, i.e., they formed by magma mixing in the Eocene (c. 50 Ma). Compositionally, granitoid host rocks incline towards acidic end member involved in magma mixing, gabbros are akin to basic end member and mafic microgranular enclaves are the incompletely mixed basic magma clots trapped in acidic magma. The isotopic dating also suggested that huge‐scale magma mixing in the Gangdisê belt took place 15–20 million years after the initiation of the India‐Asia continental collision, genetically related to the underplating of subduction‐collision‐induced basic magma at the base of the continental crust. Underplating and magma mixing were likely the main process of mass‐energy exchange between the mantle and the crust during the continental collision, and greatly contributed to the accretion of the continental crust, the evolution of the lithosphere and related mineralization beneath the portion of the Tibetan Plateau to the north of the collision zone.
