珲春小西南岔白垩纪花岗岩的地球化学及岩浆源区特征

珲春小西南岔地区白垩纪花岗岩主要有英云闪长岩和花岗闪长岩两种类型。英云闪长岩属于中钾钙碱性系列(Na₂O/K₂O=1.99~2.76),具有高Al₂O₃(15.46%~17.13%)、Sr(559×10^-6~731×10^-6)、Sr/Y(40~78)、La/Yb(16~21),低Y(9×10^-6~14×10^-6)、Yb(0.8×10^-6~1.3×10^-6)的特征,与埃达克质岩石地球化学特征类似。花岗闪长岩为高钾钙碱性系列,Na₂O/K₂O=1.01~1.56,w(Sr)=312×10^-6~410×10^-6、w(Yb)=1.23×10^-6~2.13×10^-6、Sr/Y=13~32,属正常的高钾钙碱性花岗岩。两类花岗岩的源区均为玄武质下地壳物质,英云闪长质岩浆形成压力较高(> 1.0 GPa),深度大于33 km,花岗闪长质岩浆形成压力相对较低(0.8~1.0 GPa),岩浆来源深度为26~33 km。     

西准噶尔包古图I号岩体的锆石U-Pb年代学和地球化学特征

西准噶尔包古图地区发育一些小型的闪长质岩体。前人对这些小岩体开展了岩石学、年代学和地球化学等研究,然而,其成因机制和构造背景仍然存在争议,阻碍了区域构造演化和成矿作用的认识。本文在前人研究的基础上,选择包古图I号岩体为研究对象,有望揭示包古图岩体的岩石成因和构造背景。锆石U-Pb年代学研究显示,包古图I号岩体形成于（313.8±1.1）Ma。包古图I号闪长岩体以富SiO₂（58.0%~59.0%）、Al₂O₃（16.6%~17.4%）和Sr（757×10^-6~882×10^-6）,低的Y（14.6×10^-6~15.7×10^-6）和Yb（1.51×0^-6~1.60×0^-6）质量分数为特征,具有高的Sr/Y（50~59）值和弱的Eu异常,类似于俯冲成因的埃达克岩。另外,这些闪长岩具有较高的Mg（w（MgO）=3.46%~3.77%,Mg^#=52.8~53.2）,高的Cr（63.8×10^-6~74.7×10^-6）和Ni（45.2×10^-6~49.8×10^-6）质量分数,亏损HFSE（Nb,Ta和Ti）。该闪长质岩体可能由俯冲的板片熔体与上覆地幔相互作用而成。它的形成可能与西准噶尔地区晚石炭世的洋脊俯冲作用有关。     

柴北缘察汗诺辉长岩成因:岩石地球化学、锆石U-Pb年代学与Lu-Hf同位素制约

柴北缘察汗诺地区广泛发育中生代辉长岩、闪长岩、花岗闪长岩和花岗岩。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果表明, 辉长岩²⁰⁶ Pb/²³⁸ U加权平均年龄为246±0.7 Ma, 形成于中三叠世早期。辉长岩SiO₂(50.61%~54.41%)和全碱含量(2.36%~3.72%)低, 里特曼指数为0.54~1.12, 属于中钾钙碱性系列岩石; Mg^#(73~79)和Cr(342×10^-6~753×10^-6)、Ni(45.1×10^-6~145×10^-6)含量高, LREE/HREE为4.74~5.67, 富集U、Th等大离子亲石元素, 亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素, 呈现出与典型俯冲作用密切相关的弧岩浆岩特征。锆石Lu-Hf同位素分析结果显示, 辉长岩ε_Hf(t)值为-2.24~+1.37, 研究表明察汗诺辉长岩岩浆源区因受俯冲板片流体交代而富集, 岩石主要起源于富集地幔的部分熔融。空间上, 察汗诺辉长岩与东昆仑布尔汗布达、鄂拉山以及西秦岭同仁-泽库等同时代的钙碱性岩浆岩, 共同构成了古特提斯洋向北俯冲的大陆边缘弧。     

西秦岭德乌鲁含矿岩体及其包体的岩石学成因和构造意义

德乌鲁岩体位于西秦岭地区,其主体岩性为花岗闪长岩,在岩体内及其接触带发育有多处金、铜矿床。LA-ICP-MS 锆石U-Pb定年表明该岩体侵位于印支早期,年龄为(250±1.8) Ma,该岩体为准铝质,其铝饱和指数ASI为0.9~1.0。所有样品具有高的K2O含量(2.95%~3.52%)、K2O/Na2O比值(0.97~1.10)、Mg#(0.57~0.61)和相容元素含量(w(Cr)=(88~132)×10-6)。因此,我们认为德乌鲁寄主岩形成于壳幔岩浆的混合作用。在该岩体中广泛分布有镁铁质岩浆包体,这些包体即是镁铁质岩浆注入中酸性岩浆中时迅速降温形成的。德乌鲁包体具有中性的成分,其SiO2含量为56.17%~60.95%,岩性主要为辉长闪长岩和闪长岩。相对于寄主岩,包体有着更高的Mg#(0.65~0.67)和低的TiO2含量(0.57%~0.62%)。它们也有着高的钾含量(1.74%~2.43%),属于高钾钙碱性系列岩石。所有样品具有高的相容元素含量,如Cr((212~419)×10-6)和Ni((46~111)×10-6)。相对于重稀土元素,样品中轻稀土元素相对富集,并且具有中等的Eu负异常。在原始地幔标准化的微量元素蛛网图上,所有包体具有明显的Nb-Ta负异常。德乌鲁暗色包体可能形成于曾受俯冲作用改造过的富钾的岩石圈地幔源区部分熔融过程,并伴随有后期镁铁质矿物的分异。本区的印支早期岩浆作用及与其有关的矿床很可能形成于活动大陆边缘环境。     

东昆仑沟里地区暗色包体及其寄主岩石地球化学特征及成因

通过青海东昆仑东部沟里地区阿斯哈岩体中寄主闪长岩和暗色微粒包体的岩相学、全岩地球化学研究,确定了岩石成因及其构造属性。阿斯哈岩体中暗色包体广泛分布,包体岩性主要为角闪辉长岩。包体具有岩浆结构,部分包体具有塑性流变特征,包体中可见寄主岩石矿物的捕掳晶和针状磷灰石,表现出岩浆混合的岩相学特征。主岩及暗色包体同属准铝质、高钾钙碱性-钾玄岩系列过渡岩石,主量元素在Harker图解及Al₂O₃/K₂O-CaO/K₂O和SiO₂/CaO-K₂O/CaO的共分母协变图上具良好的线性关系,反映两者成分的变化与岩浆混合作用有关。两者的稀土元素配分模式总体一致,显示二者密切的成因联系。两者都富含大离子亲石元素（Rb、K）,相对亏损高场强元素（Nb、Ta、P、Ti）。暗色包体具有贫硅（w(SiO₂)=50.70%~53.88%）和富镁、铁、钙的地球化学特征,其Mg^#值较高（Mg^#=0.52~0.59）,暗示其来源于俯冲带流体交代地幔楔的部分熔融。主岩的Rb/Sr值为0.22~0.27,接近地壳平均值,Nb/Ta值为14.5~15.2,介于地幔平均值与地壳平均值之间,表明寄主岩石岩浆具有壳源岩浆的性质并经历了幔源岩浆的混合作用。结合区域构造演化及构造判别,认为阿斯哈岩体形成于安第斯型活动大陆边缘的构造环境。早三叠世,阿尼玛卿洋向北俯冲,俯冲带流体交代地幔楔,导致其部分熔融形成基性岩浆,底侵的幔源基性岩浆诱发下地壳部分熔融并与之发生混合形成本区闪长岩,而其中的暗色包体为幔源岩浆混合不彻底的产物。     

粤西晚侏罗世花岗质岩体及其暗色微粒包体的成因及意义:年代学、矿物学和地球化学约束

粤西阳江市八二花岗质岩体中广泛发育似斑状细粒闪长质暗色微粒包体,这些暗色微粒包体形态多样,与寄主岩具相似的矿物组合,对研究花岗岩成因和壳-幔相互作用具有十分重要的意义.为了探讨它们的岩石成因及构造属性,对寄主岩和暗色微粒包体开展了系统的岩相学、年代学和地球化学研究.LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,寄主岩年龄为160.0±1.0 Ma,暗色微粒包体年龄为159.3±1.1 Ma,均为晚侏罗世的产物.全岩地球化学特征显示,寄主岩属于富钾的准铝质I型花岗岩,寄主岩和暗色微粒包体均富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素,亏损重稀土元素和Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素.此外,两者具相似的Sr-Nd同位素组成,寄主岩的ε_Nd（t）值为-5.73~-5.67,（87Sr/86Sr）_i值为0.707 63~0.707 67;而暗色微粒包体的ε_Nd（t）值为-5.81~-4.35,（87Sr/86Sr）_i值为0.707 04~0.707 74.锆石饱和温度计和角闪石全铝压力计表明八二花岗质岩体结晶于730~754℃和19.8~20.6 km.综合寄主岩及其暗色微粒包体的岩石学、地球化学、同位素特征,晚侏罗世八二花岗质岩体可能形成于陆内伸展背景,由于软流圈物质上涌底侵,导致中下地壳变基性岩为主的源岩部分熔融,并且源区有少量幔源物质的加入,局部可能存在岩浆混合作用;暗色微粒包体是由镁铁质岩浆与长英质岩浆混合形成的.

Underplating and assimilation–fractional crystallization of Mesozoic intrusions in the Tongling area,Anhui Province,East China: evidence from xenoliths and host plutons

This paper presents new petrographic observations and geochemical and microprobe analyses for the Laomiaojishan, Xiaotongguanshan, and Tianebaodanshan intrusions in the Tongguanshan mineral district, East China. The plutons vary in composition from quartz monzonitic diorite to pyroxene monzonitic diorite, and contain gabbroic to dioritic xenoliths. The Xiaotongguanshan intrusion yields a SHRIMP zircon U–Pb age of 139.5±2.9 Ma, indicating Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous magmatism in the Lower Yangtze River Valley. Relative to host rocks, the gabbro and diorite xenoliths are low in SiO₂ (52.03–54.61 wt‐%), Al₂O₃ (12.87–14.43 wt‐%), and total alkalis (Na₂O+K₂O; 5.26–6.30 wt‐%), but high in MgO (5.41–11.66 wt‐%); the host rocks have high SiO₂ (59.97–64.44 wt‐%), Al₂O₃ (16.43–17.59 wt‐%), and total alkalis (6.67–8.25 wt‐%), but are low in MgO (1.52–2.50 wt‐%). Concentrations of rare earth elements (REEs) in the xenoliths (165.70–190.40 ppm) are similar to those in the host rocks (166.12–185.95 ppm), although the ratio of light REEs to heavy REEs in the xenoliths (3.39–4.27) is lower than that in the host plutons (4.86–5.94). All of the analysed rocks show similar REE patterns, although the xenoliths display marked positive Eu anomalies and the host rocks show slightly negative Eu anomalies. Values of epsilon Nd (t) ranges from ?4.9 to ?9.9 in the gabbro xenoliths and from ?11.4 to ?11.9 in the host intrusives. Initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios are 0.7064–0.7073 in the xenoliths and 0.7072–0.7084 in the quartz monzonitic diorite host rocks. Crystallization temperatures of hornblende and plagioclase in the gabbro xenoliths, diorite xenoliths, and host rocks are 816, 773–790, and 664–725°C, respectively, based on an amphibole–plagioclase geothermometer. The pressures recorded by these phases indicate that they formed at depths of 26, 12–15, and 3–4 km, respectively, based on an aluminum‐in‐hornblende geobarometer. The petrological and geochemical features of the analysed intrusions and xenoliths are consistent with their derivation from basic to intermediate‐acidic magmas that possibly formed via a series of complex interactions between underplated, mantle‐derived basaltic magma and varying amounts of middle‐ to lower‐crustal material, followed by assimilation–fractional crystallization.     

安徽铜陵中生代侵入岩及其岩石包体中的硫化物-氧化物包裹体研究

安徽铜陵地区中生代岩浆活动频繁,形成了一系列与铜、金多金属成矿作用关系密切的中酸性侵入岩。在这些侵入岩中分布有大量的镁铁质团块、堆积晶和微粒闪长质包体。在这些侵入岩及其岩石包体中观察到了一定数量的硫化物-氧化物包裹体。文章对老庙基、小铜官山和小陶家岩体及其岩石包体中的硫化物-氧化物包裹体进行了详细的岩相学观察和电子探针分析。观察和分析结果显示,镁铁质团块中硫化物包裹体内的矿物主要有磁黄铁矿、黄铜矿、单硫化物固溶体和镍黄铁矿,这些硫化物相(黄铜矿除外)中的Ni、Cu平均含量(wB,下同)分别为6.91%和0.44%;微粒闪长质包体和寄主岩中硫化物包裹体内的矿物主要为磁黄铁矿和黄铜矿,这些硫化物相(黄铜矿除外)中的Ni、Cu平均含量分别为0.44%、0.07%(微粒闪长质包体)和0.09%、0.42%(寄主岩)。镁铁质团块、微粒闪长质包体和寄主岩中氧化物包裹体内的矿物分别为铬磁铁矿(Cr2O3平均含量为4.44%)、磁铁矿(Cr2O3平均含量为0.44%)和磁铁矿(Cr2O3平均含量为0.07%);散布的氧化物颗粒分别为铬磁铁矿(Cr2O3平均含量为6.58%)、磁铁矿+铬磁铁矿(Cr2O3平均含量为0.86%)...     

The Pleasant Bay Layered Gabbro--Diorite, Coastal Maine: Ponding and Crystallization of Basaltic Injections into a Silicic Magma Chamber

The Pleasant Bay layered gabbro–diorite intrusion, locatedon the coast of Maine between Bar Harbor and Machias, is roughlyoval in plan, measuring 12 km by 20 km. Gravity data, contactrelations, and internal layering suggest that it is basinformin structure with a maximum thickness of {small tilde}3 km.Its roof and upper parts have been lost through erosion. Whereit is in contact with underlying granite, the base of the intrusiontypically consists of strongly chilled gabbro with convex-downwardlobate forms, suggesting that the granite was incompletely solidifiedwhen the gabbro was emplaced. Roughly 90% of the exposed rocksare weakly layered gabbro and mafic diorite, both of which varywidely in grain-size and texture. Layers and lenses of medium-grainedleucocratic diorite to granodiorite are widely intercalatedwith the chilled mafic rocks and commonly contain partly digestedmafic inclusions; they also commonly contain zones of pillow-likebodies of gabbro chilled on all margins. The dioritic rocksare consistently topped by gabbroic layers with chilled lobatebases and commonly appear to feed granitic pipes and diapirsinto overlying gabbro. Much of the intrusion can be subdividedinto hundreds of macrorhythmic units (from 1 to 100 m thick)consisting of basally chilled gabbro that grades upward to dioriteor highly evolved leucocratic silicic cumulates. Basaltic dikesare abundant both in the underlying granite and in the layeredgabbro–diorites; they have appropriate compositions tobe feeders for chilled gabbroic layers in the Pleasant Bay intrusion. The layered rocks of the Pleasant Bay intrusion record hundredsof basaltic injections into a chamber with resident silicicmagma. Small injections produced chilled gabbroic layers andpillows within silicic cumulates. Larger infusions of basalticmagma produced temporary compositional stratification and episodesof double-diffusive convection within the chamber. Althoughfractional crystallization produced compositional variationin much of the gabbro, units that grade from chilled gabbroat the base to highly silicic cumulates at the top provide cumulaterecords of magma stratification and hybridization along a double-diffusiveinterface between basaltic and silicic magmas. The intrusionprovides a superb plutonic record of events that have oftenbeen inferred for silicic eruptive centers. Mafic–siliciclayered intrusions comparable with the Pleasant Bay are morewidespread than has generally been appreciated.     

Neoproterozoic tholeiitic arc plutonism: petrology of gabbroic intrusions in the El-Aradiya area,Eastern Desert,Egypt

Gabbroic intrusions of the El-Aradiya area are a part of the Neoproterozoic basement cropping out in the central Eastern Desert of Egypt. They are composed mainly of gabbroic cumulates (diopside-plagioclase cumulate and plagioclase-augite cumulate) and fine-grained noncumulate gabbro. Mineral chemistry data indicate that the plagioclase core compositions of the gabbroic cumulates range between An₉₀ and An₆₀, whereas fine-grained noncumulate gabbro plagioclase core compositions are An₆₁₋₅₆ and rim compositions are An₅₄₋₄₂. The clinopyroxenes are diopside and augite in the gabbroic cumulate, and augite in the fine-grained noncumulate gabbro. Chemical re-equilibration between pyroxenes of gabbroic cumulates vary from 1150-900°C and for fine-grained noncumulate gabbro range from 1200-1100°C. The amphiboles are calcic, varying from tschermakite and tschermakitic hornblende, and Mg-hornblende in the gabbroic cumulate and only Mg-hornblende in the fine-grained noncumulate gabbro. They indicate an island-arc tholeiitic setting for gabbroic intrusions of the El-Aradiya area. Major and trace element data suggest arc tholeiite characters, a comagmatic suite and subduction-related magma with enrichment of LILE and depletion in HFSE relative to MORB. The estimated parent magma is similar to tholeiitic Aleutian arc primary magma. The gabbroic intrusions are analogous to intrusions emplaced in an immature island-arc setting in which the oceanic crust was thin.     

The petrology of the layered gabbro intrusion, eastern gabbro, Coldwell alkaline complex, Northwestern Ontario, Canada: evidence for multiple phases of intrusion in a ring dyke

The Coldwell alkaline complex is a large (> 350 km²) gabbro and syenite intrusion on the north shore of Lake Superior. It was emplaced at 1108 Ma during early magmatic activity associated with the formation of the Mid-Continent Rift of North America. The eastern gabbro forms a partial ring dyke on the outer margin of the complex and consists of at least three discrete intrusions. The largest of these is the layered gabbro that comprises a 300 m thick fine- to medium-grained basal unit overlain by up to 1100 m of variably massive to layered gabbroic cumulates which vary from olivine gabbro to anorthosite. Several xenoliths of Archaean metamorphic rocks that range in size from 10's to 100's of meters are present in the central part of the intrusion. Within discrete horizons in the layered gabbro are many centimeter- to meter-scale, gabbroic xenoliths. The main cumulus minerals, in order of crystallization, are plagioclase, olivine and clinopyroxene ± Fe-Ti oxides. Biotite and Fe-Ti-oxide are the dominant intercumulus phases. Orthopyroxene occurs not as a cumulus phase but as peritectic overgrowths on cumulus olivine. A detailed petrographic and mineral chemical study of samples from two stratigraphically controlled traverses through the layered gabbro indicates that the stratigraphy cannot be correlated along the 33 km strike of the ring dyke. Mineral compositions show both normal and reversed fractionation trends. These patterns are interpreted to record at least three separate intrusions of magma into restricted dilatant zones within the ring dyke possibly associated with ongoing caldera collapse. Calculations of parental melt composition using mineral — melt equilibria show that even the most primitive gabbros crystallized from an evolved magma with mg# of 0.42-0.49. The presence of orthopyroxene overgrowths on cumulus olivine suggests rising silica activity in the melt during crystallization and implies a subalkaline parentage for the layered gabbro.     

Geochemistry and magmatic setting of Wadi El-Markh island-arc gabbro–diorite suite,central Eastern Desert,Egypt

Wadi El-Markh gabbro–diorite complex is composed of pyroxene hornblende gabbros, hornblende gabbros, diorites and quartz diorites. According to their bulk rock geochemistry and mineral chemistry, the gabbroic and dioritic rocks represent fractionates along a single line of descent and crystallized from a calc-alkaline mafic magma. When compared to the primitive mantle, all members of the gabbroic–dioritic rock suite are enriched in the large ion lithophile elements relative to the high field strength elements and display distinctive negative Nb and P₂O₅ anomalies. This signals an arc setting. Fractionation modeling involving the major elements reveals that the hornblende gabbros were generated from the parent pyroxene hornblende gabbros by 61.86% fractional crystallization. The diorites were produced from the hornblende gabbros by fractional crystallization with a 58.97% residual liquid, whereas the quartz diorites were formed from the diorites by 26.58% fractional crystallization. According to geothermobarometry based on amphibole mineral chemistry, the most primitive pyroxene hornblende gabbros crystallized at ～830 °C/～5 kbar. The crystallization conditions of the quartz diorites were estimated at ～570 °C/～2 kbar. In consequence the Wadi El-Markh gabbro–diorite complex represents a single magmatic suite of which fractionates crystallized in progressively shallower levels of an arc crust.     

Relative contributions of crust and mantle to generation of Oligo-Miocene medium-K calc-alkaline I-type granitoids in a subduction setting—a case study from the Nabar Pluton,central Iran

The Nabar pluton with the age of Oligo-Miocene located northwest of Isfahan, the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt, is composed of gabbro, gabbro diorite, diorite, quartz diorite, tonalite, and quartz monzonite. These rocks contain plagioclase, quartz, alkali-feldspar, magnesiohornblende, actinolite, tremolite-hornblende, actinolite-hornblende, anthophyllite, biotite, and Na-poor pyroxene. Application of the Al-in-hornblende barometry indicates pressures of 2–2.15 kbar, whereas the clinopyroxene barometry shows a pressure of 5 kbar. The temperature (i.e., 750–800°C) is estimated using the amphibole-clinopyroxene thermometry in a dioritic sample. Magmatic water content was greater than 10% at the time of formation of dioritic rocks in the Nabar pluton. Based on chemistry of mafic minerals and geochemical data, the Nabar plutonic complex comprises medium-K, calc-alkaline, and I-type granitoid. The rocks are characterized by enrichment of lithophile elements (LILEs) and depletion of high-field-strength elements (HFSEs). The Nabar rocks have weak concave-upward rare earth element (REE) patterns, suggesting that amphibole played a significant role in their generation during magma segregation. Low (Al₂O₃/(FeO + MgO + TiO₂) and (Na₂O + K₂O)/(FeO + MgO + TiO₂) ratios, and the patterns of trace and rare earth elements suggest that these rocks formed along a destructive plate margin and were derived from a lower crustal source. The magma probably formed by partial melting of lower crustal protoliths (amphibolites). Lower crust contamination with magma derived from partial melting of the upper mantle has an important role in the formation of this intrusive body, and a fractional crystallization of melts in higher crustal levels generated this spectrum of rock types. Mantle-derived gabbroic magmas emplaced into the lower crust are the most likely heat sources for partial melting.     

Glass-bearing gabbro inclusions in hyaloclastites from Tindfjallajökull,Iceland

Gabbro inclusions from Tindfjallajökull are divided into two types: I. Panidiomorphic gabbros of non-cumulative origin composed of plagioclase + olivine ± clinopyroxene and interstitil vesicular glass. They have formed in equilibrium with the host magma and may either represent a marginal facies or a highly solidified magma body. In the latter case the host magma or part of it could be mobilized interstitial liquid. II. Allotriomorphic-hypidiomorphic tholeiitic olivine gabbro and diorite xenoliths with scarce Ti-pargasite which have undergone less than 10% partial melting in the host magma forming melts of alkali basaltic or Hekla andesite-like compositions dependent on the original mineral assemblage. Such liquids, enriched in K₂O and possibly other incompatible elements, may contaminate basaltic magmas rising slowly through a gabbroic lower crust. Large scale production of andesites by partial melting of such rocks is not possible but would need more hydrous or differentiated source rocks.     

Geochemistry and petrology of rift-related mafic sills and arc-related Gabbro–Diorite bodies,Northern Bafq District,Central Iran

Two types of mafic intrusions have been recognized in the north of the Bafq district, Central Iran. A number of olivine-gabbroic to gabbroic sills intruded the Rizu Formation, comprised of alternating carbonate and volcanic rocks. Mineralogical data show that olivine + pyroxene + brown amphibole (kaersutite) + calcic plagioclase + opaque comprise the olivine-gabbroic rocks, and intermediate (or sodic) plagioclase + altered pyroxene and altered amphibole to biotite + opaque minerals the gabbroic rocks. Both rock types have shown within-plate and alkaline characters and have been presumed to be related to rift formation. The mafic-alkaline magma source of the sills is proposed to have been derived from enriched mantle. Regionally, two Gabbro–Diorite intrusions have been identified in the metamorphic complexes. Mineralogical data suggest that the pyroxene + amphibole (hornblende) + plagioclase + biotite + opaque minerals formed the gabbro to diorite intrusions. These rocks have shown characteristics of calc-alkaline and volcanic arc magmatism.     

阿勒泰西南缘珠万喀腊铜矿杂岩体特征及找矿意义

位于阿尔泰西南缘的珠万喀腊杂岩体,产于珠万喀腊二叠纪陆相火山岩盆地,侵入地层为下二叠统哈尔加乌组和卡拉岗组,主要由闪长岩相和辉长岩相组成,二者呈侵入接触关系。其中闪长岩相存在三个过渡的岩相带:中心相闪长岩,过渡相辉石闪长岩及边缘相蚀变闪长岩。辉长岩相发现辉石岩、蛇纹岩、黄铜-磁黄铁矿化橄榄岩。地球化学特征表明,SiO2含量总体较低,为47.14%～55.90%,为中基性岩石。K2O+NaO变化范围1.27%～6.99%,岩石为碱性岩石系列。稀土元素丰度在131.1×10-6～159.7×10-6之间,属富集REE。LREE/HREE比值为2.87～3.52,属轻稀土富集型。微量元素总体富集大离子亲石元素(LILE),相对亏损高场强元素(HFSE),显示了岛弧岩浆的一些特点,可能是岩浆岩源区保留有早期俯冲的洋壳。EH4测量结果表明杂岩体内存在层状低阻异常带,可能为含矿岩相。岩体下部(距离地表700～800m处)可作为进一步找矿的有利部位。
