唐王陵昭陵组砾岩碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学分析

唐王陵砾岩的时代归属及其沉积物源环境一直是鄂尔多斯盆地南缘新元古界-下古生界沉积地层学研究和油气地质勘探备受关注且长期存有争议的问题。采用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学方法,定量分析探讨了唐王陵昭陵组砾岩的时代归属和物质来源。结果表明:昭陵组砾岩的碎屑锆石U-Pb测年数据主要分布在744~943 Ma(n=6)、1 005~1 412 Ma (n=15)、1 449~2 209 Ma(n=255)和2 274~2 696 Ma (n=49)四个年龄区间,相应的峰值年龄集中在815 Ma、1 182 Ma、1 811 Ma、2 454 Ma,最年轻的单颗粒锆石年龄为744 Ma。它与盆地西缘贺兰山地区震旦纪正目观组的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱非常相似,但明显有别于盆地南缘晚奥陶世平凉组,尤其是缺少平凉组碎屑锆石主要集中在454 Ma的峰值年龄,由此限定昭陵组砾岩的沉积时代主要发生在晚前寒武纪或震旦纪。锆石U-Pb年龄谱的区域对比揭示,昭陵组砾岩的沉积物源主要来自于华北(鄂尔多斯)地块的古元古代变质基底岩系和其南缘北秦岭构造带的晚前寒武纪岩浆岩-变质杂岩,呈现稳定地块与活动带双向混合物源特征。     

鄂尔多斯盆地南缘南曹德组与庄河沟组碎屑锆石年代学及其地质意义

运用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学方法,分析探讨了鄂尔多斯盆地南缘南曹德组和庄河沟组的沉积时代、物源特征及其所处的华北(鄂尔多斯地块)与北秦岭地体之间的构造演化关系。结果表明:两件砂岩样品的碎屑锆石年龄谱基本一致,测年数据集中分布在820~995 Ma(n=13)、1041~1203 Ma(n=23)、1223~1451 Ma(n=36)、1458~1650 Ma(n=24)、1659~1935 Ma(n=39)、2017~2445 Ma(n=7)6个区间,对应的峰值年龄分别接近832Ma、1120 Ma、1330 Ma、1590 Ma、1856 Ma和2090 Ma。这与邻区经典的震旦系正目观组和罗圈组具有相似的碎屑锆石年龄谱特征,年轻主峰年龄832Ma,包含有4个820~834Ma的年轻单颗粒锆石年龄,显著有别于以往认为与之可比的研究区近邻剖面锆石U-Pb高频主峰年龄主要集中在454Ma的奥陶系平凉组,由此认为南曹德组和庄河沟组应属于新元古代晚期832Ma之后或震旦纪的沉积岩石单元。锆石U-Pb年龄谱的区域对比进一步揭示,南曹德组和庄河沟组的滨浅海沉积碎屑物源明显具有来自华北(鄂尔多斯)陆块与北秦岭(杂岩)地体的双向混合物源特征,表明华北陆块与北秦岭地体至少在832Ma之前的格林威尔晚期已经碰撞拼合为一体,随后在新元古代晚期拼合大陆边缘接受了大致与Rodinia超大陆裂解事件相当的陆缘海相碎屑岩沉积。     

北秦岭柳叶河盆地上三叠统物源区及其与鄂尔多斯盆地的关系——来自碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb 年龄的证据

对陕西省周至地区北秦岭晚古生代—中生代柳叶河盆地上三叠统石英砂岩进行单颗粒锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素分析。以岩浆锆石为主的77个测试点给出的年龄值形成7个年龄组：256~475Ma、1500~1680Ma、1750~2190Ma、2190~2310Ma、2400~2650Ma、2700~2800Ma和2850~2960Ma。其中最年轻的锆石年龄为256±4Ma,最老的锆石年龄是2954±25Ma。峰值年龄以1750~2190Ma古元古代年龄组为代表 （占总测点的64%）。将柳叶河盆地上三叠统与石炭系碎屑锆石年龄结构进行对比,前者新元古代年龄结构缺失,表明晚古生代介于柳叶河与鄂尔多斯盆地间的北秦岭北部具新元古代年龄结构的古陆,晚三叠世相对沉降,成为盆地次要物源区。结合与周缘地体年龄结构对比,北秦岭南部二郎坪群、秦岭群、丹凤群、南缘的沉积楔形体刘岭群及北秦岭与加里东期活动陆缘沟-弧-盆体系相关的岩浆作用产物此时则成为盆地主要物源区。北秦岭内部北降南升。柳叶河盆地上三叠统碎屑锆石与鄂尔多斯盆地西南缘上三叠统延长组砂岩碎屑锆石较好的可对比性,以及柳叶河盆地北侧源区（北秦岭北部）的构造变动、化石等证据表明,柳叶河盆地与鄂尔多斯盆地在晚三叠世很有可能连通,柳叶河盆地可能代表鄂尔多斯盆地的南部边缘。     

桂东南水汶盆地白垩系大坡组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

为讨论桂东南地区水汶盆地大坡组的物质来源和盆地属性,对大坡组红色砂岩开展LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究。大坡组红色砂岩(样品NPM30)的碎屑颗粒呈棱角状、次棱角状,磨圆度较差,分选性中等,显示近源沉积的特征。碎屑锆石亦呈现自形程度较好的CL图像,其U-Pb年龄介于2781～105 Ma之间。碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄集中分布于180～145 Ma、270～200 Ma、480～390 Ma,少数介于570～540 Ma、780～720 Ma、1000～820 Ma、1300～1000 Ma、2000～1400 Ma和2800～2300 Ma。物源分析表明大坡组碎屑物质主体来自于云开地区燕山早期、华力西—印支期和加里东期岩浆岩,少量来自于扬子东南缘新元古代岩浆事件和华夏陆块格林威尔期和新太古代物质。大坡组碎屑锆石主体来自于沉积成岩之前的岩浆活动,与地层沉积时代一致的碎屑锆石含量极少;结合区域构造演化历史,判定水汶盆地为白垩纪伸展构造背景下的断陷拉分盆地。     

南秦岭东河群碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及其板块构造意义

南秦岭微陆块是秦岭造山带的重要构造单元,其早白垩世沉积物是研究物源区及南秦岭微陆块构造演化的理想对象.南秦岭微陆块南缘观音坝盆地早白垩世砂砾岩中的碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄给出了5个年龄峰,范围分别是2600～2300Ma、2050～1800Ma、1200～750Ma、650～400Ma和350～200Ma,对应于Kenor、Columbia、Rodinia、Gondwana和Pangaea等5次超大陆事件.碎屑锆石源区复杂,但主要源自华北克拉通和北秦岭增生带,表明晚古生代南秦岭微陆块是秦岭-华北联合大陆板块的一部分,而非独立的微陆块.最年轻的锆石年龄峰给出了勉略洋向秦岭-华北大陆俯冲的时限,即350～ 200Ma;扬子与秦岭-华北联合大陆板块的碰撞造山作用始于三叠纪-侏罗纪之交,强烈的挤压造山作用发生在侏罗纪,而非三叠纪或更早.     

扬子板块西北缘碧口微地块南华系碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及其物源示踪

扬子板块西北缘碧口微地块红岩沟地区碧口群火山岩系之上发育有南华—震旦纪沉积盖层,但南华系的沉积时代尚缺乏依据,其物源及构造背景也仍无定论。本文采用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年方法,对南华系上部含砾岩系中的长石砂岩进行了碎屑锆石测年研究,结果表明碎屑锆石的年龄可以分为两组：（1）新元古代晚期年龄组（750~800Ma）,峰值年龄为795Ma;（2）新元古代早中期年龄组（820~920Ma）,该组有明显峰值,峰值年龄为850Ma。碎屑锆石最小年龄组平均年龄为750Ma,即南华系上部含砾岩系沉积时代不老于750Ma,结合地层序列中的层位关系,认为该地层的沉积时代可能为晚南华世。综合研究认为,南华系上部含砾岩系物源具多源性,主要来自扬子板块西北缘碧口微地块内部和南侧后龙门山构造带、汉南-米仓山微地块的新元古代中酸性岩浆岩,北侧勉略构造带出露的岩浆岩可能也为该地层提供了少量的物源,其沉积事件对应于新元古代中晚期（~810Ma）碧口微地块及扬子板块西北缘后碰撞-裂解阶段。     

滇东成冰纪南沱组碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学研究及其地质意义

针对滇东峨山和澄江新元古代晚期成冰纪南沱组碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究的测试结果显示:峨山小街南沱组下段底部冰川杂砾岩最年轻碎屑锆石~(206)Pb/238 U年龄为725 Ma±4 Ma(Th/U=1.4,谐和度=98%);峨山小街南沱组上段底部泻湖相泥质粉砂岩最年轻碎屑锆石206Pb/238 U年龄为665 Ma±4 Ma(Th/U=1.9,谐和度=98%);澄江大飞田南沱组下段底部冰川杂砾岩最年轻碎屑锆石206Pb/238 U年龄为728Ma±4 Ma(Th/U=1.7,谐和度=98%)。采用单颗最年轻碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄定年法(YSG)定年可知,南沱组下段底部沉积时间可能晚于或等于725 Ma±4 Ma,上段底部沉积时间可能晚于或等于665Ma±4Ma,与扬子东南缘长安冰期(Sturtian)和富禄间冰期启动时间相近。沉积年龄下限和沉积特征分析表明,滇东南沱组下段可能与扬子东南缘早冰期长安组对比,而滇东南沱组上段则可能与扬子东南缘间冰期富禄组、大塘坡组对比。碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱显示,滇东南沱组碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱清晰记录了Rodinia超大陆裂解过程的构造—岩浆热事件,其中ca.850 Ma代表超级地幔柱上涌,ca.820 Ma代表裂谷盆地开启,ca.800 Ma代表裂谷盆地强烈扩张。     

北秦岭柳叶河盆地上三叠统物源区及其与鄂尔多斯盆地的关系——来自碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄的证据

对陕西省周至地区北秦岭晚古生代—中生代柳叶河盆地上三叠统石英砂岩进行单颗粒锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素分析。以岩浆锆石为主的77个测试点给出的年龄值形成7个年龄组:256~475Ma、1500~1680Ma、1750~2190Ma、2190~2310Ma、2400~2650Ma、2700~2800Ma和2850~2960Ma。其中最年轻的锆石年龄为256±4Ma,最老的锆石年龄是2954±25Ma。峰值年龄以1750~2190Ma古元古代年龄组为代表(占总测点的64%)。将柳叶河盆地上三叠统与石炭系碎屑锆石年龄结构进行对比,前者新元古代年龄结构缺失,表明晚古生代介于柳叶河与鄂尔多斯盆地间的北秦岭北部具新元古代年龄结构的古陆,晚三叠世相对沉降,成为盆地次要物源区。结合与周缘地体年龄结构对比,北秦岭南部二郎坪群、秦岭群、丹凤群、南缘的沉积楔形体刘岭群及北秦岭与加里东期活动陆缘沟-弧-盆体系相关的岩浆作用产物此时则成为盆地主要物源区。北秦岭内部北降南升。柳叶河盆地上三叠统碎屑锆石与鄂尔多斯盆地西南缘上三叠统延长组砂岩碎屑锆石较好的可对比性,以及柳叶河盆地北侧源区(北秦岭北部)的构造变动、化石等证据表明,柳叶河盆地与鄂尔多斯盆地在晚三叠世很有可能连通,柳叶河盆地可能代表鄂尔多斯盆地的南部边缘。     

滇中地区昆阳群物源及构造环境

昆阳群的形成时代、沉积环境、源岩性质等一直存在较大争议,为了查明滇中地区昆阳群的物源及其形成的构造环境,文章在分析昆阳群沉积组合和沉积相的基础上,对昆阳群3件变质砂岩样品中的碎屑锆石进行LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb年龄测定,对昆阳群20件极低级变质碎屑岩进行地球化学分析。从昆阳群黄草岭组、黑山头组和美党组中分别获得了最年轻的谐和年龄为984.0 Ma、945.0 Ma和954.0 Ma;碎屑锆石年龄峰谱显示,在1.0 Ga、1.35Ga、1.73 Ga和2.44 Ga出现了统计峰值,其年龄主要集中在1.73 Ga和1.35 Ga。表明昆阳群源区主要经历了1.0 Ga、1.35 Ga、1.73 Ga和2.44 Ga的构造热事件,资料显示扬子地块西南缘出露的大红山群形成时代为1.7 Ga,格林威尔期的构造热事件时期为1.0~1.3 Ga。此外,地球化学分析结果表明昆阳群源岩主要是形成于大陆岛弧—活动大陆边缘的石英质旋回沉积、长英质岩石和少量镁铁质岩石。在中元古代晚期—新元古代早期(0.95~1.0 Ga),Rodinia超大陆形成阶段,在扬子地块西南缘的弧后前陆盆地中形成昆阳群的沉积组合,物源主要来自扬子地块西南缘的大红山群和格林威尔期岛弧的岩石。     

前中生代海南岛与华夏、扬子陆块的关系——来自海南岛下二叠统峨查组碎屑锆石年龄的信息

海南地块的亲缘性质归属一直存在分歧。选择海南东方市江边乡白查村峨查组进行碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年,获得年龄为635～1814Ma,具4个年龄峰值,分别为1700Ma、1580Ma、1073Ma和680Ma,记录了哥伦比亚(1700Ma和1580Ma)、罗迪尼亚(1073Ma)和泛非(680Ma)三大地质事件。1700 Ma、1580Ma和1073Ma三个峰值可与南极洲、越南Song Hien、华夏造山带和扬子陆块东南缘同期的碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄峰值对比,说明海南地块在中元古代与南极洲、越南、华夏和扬子陆块东南缘共同经历了哥伦比亚和格林威尔(罗迪尼亚)造山事件。1700Ma和1580Ma的峰值虽然在扬子陆块东南缘有弱的显示,但在扬子陆块内部基本没有该年龄峰值的报道,680Ma峰值在扬子陆块未出现,说明中—新元古代海南地块与扬子陆块之间相距较远,而与华夏、越南和南极洲较近。     

Subduction and collision processes between the North China and South China blocks constrained by the geochronology and geochemistry of the Wuguan Complex in the Qinling orogen,China

ABSTRACT

The Qinling orogen is a key area for understanding the processes of subduction and collision between the South China Block (SCB) and North China Block (NCB). The Wuguan Complex, distributed along the southern margin of the Shangdan suture zone, can provide important constraints on the age of collision between NCB and SCB and the tectonic evolution of the Qinling orogen in Late Paleozoic. Detrital zircons from meta-sedimentary rocks of the Wuguan Complex in the Danfeng-Shangnan area have an age spectrum with two main peaks at ~448 Ma and ~819 Ma, and two subordinate peaks at ~938 and ~1440 Ma, respectively, and are interpreted to have been derived from the North Qinling terrane (NQT). The petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the meta-sedimentary rocks indicate that they were deposited in a fore-arc basin along the southern margin of the NQT. The youngest detrital zircons yield a weighted mean age of 378 ± 3 Ma, indicating that the fore-arc deposition was continuing at least to this time, which implies that the Paleo-Qinling Ocean between the NCB and SCB was not finally closed until at least the late Devonian. In combination with regional data, we propose that sedimentary rocks of the Wuguan Complex might once have been a sequence of late Ordovician to late Devonian strata with intercalated mafic rocks, which has been dismembered by the later tectonic activity. It was metamorphosed during northward subduction of the Paleo-Qinling Ocean at ca. 320 Ma, and slowly cooled through ca. 350°C at ca. 247 Ma (muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age). It has recorded the detailed processes of subduction and collision between the NCB and SCB.     

胶-辽-吉带构造属性与演化阶段新划分: 胶北变质辉长岩的启示

祥山和于埠变质辉长岩是胶北地块上古元古代变质镁铁质岩石的典型代表,辉长岩侵入古元古代荆山群野头组,产有"祥山式"岩浆熔离型铁矿,成矿的专属性指示辉长岩属于层状侵入体类型,形成于大陆伸展构造背景。在祥山变质辉长岩中获得了1851±9Ma的变质年龄,在于埠变质辉长岩中获得了2052±23Ma的锆石U-Pb成岩年龄和1834±5Ma的变质年龄。~2.05Ga的岩浆结晶锆石的εHf（t）值均为正值（+1.87~+3.64）,一阶段Hf模式年龄（tDM）为2292~2381Ma（平均为2327Ma）,指示于埠变质辉长岩源自古元古代中期的亏损地幔。于埠变质辉长岩的成岩年龄制约了荆山群野头组的沉积上限,荆山群中至少有一部分形成于2.2~2.05Ga之间,沉积于大陆裂谷-稳定大陆边缘的构造环境。祥山和于埠变质辉长岩中有少量斜长花岗岩与之伴生,这些斜长花岗岩具有类似于大洋斜长花岗岩的岩石特征,低K、Ti、Sr,高Na、Yb,形成于低压背景;从斜长花岗岩中获得了1848±8Ma和1873±5Ma的锆石U-Pb年龄,斜长花岗岩中的锆石Th/U比值较低（0.01~0.29）,具有初始熔体中结晶锆石特征。结合斜长花岗岩的地球化学特征,推测它们是辉长岩部分熔融的产物,并指示~1.87Ga已由挤压构造体制转变为伸展构造体制。综合前人研究成果,胶北地块已识别出2.18~2.15Ga、~2.10Ga、~2.05Ga的三期双峰式岩浆岩构造组合,指示2.2~2.05Ga期间总体为伸展构造背景。因此建议胶-辽-吉活动带的形成演化过程划分为两个阶段,早期为大陆裂解-稳定陆缘演化阶段（2.2~2.0Ga）,沉积了巨量的陆缘碎屑岩-碳酸盐岩建造;晚期为俯冲-碰撞造山阶段（2.0~1.85Ga）,胶-辽-吉活动带褶皱造山。     

胶北太古宙早期锆石U-Pb定年及Hf同位素研究：华北克拉通古老陆壳增生及再循环的证据

古老陆壳物质的发现与鉴别是探索地球早期陆壳形成与演化历史的重要内容之一,锆石U-Pb年龄结合Hf同位素研究是该研究的重要手段。本文通过对胶北地体内一个长英质副片麻岩中的锆石开展系统的原位U-Pb定年和微量、稀土元素分析,获得了多个太古宙早期的锆石。根据这些锆石的阴极发光图像、Th/U比值及稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分模式,它们具有典型岩浆锆石的特征,其中2个分析点给出了3413Ma和3400Ma(~3.4Ga)的锆石U-Pb年龄,7个分析点给出3547±19Ma(MSWD=1.16)的锆石U-Pb年龄,指示太古宙早期的陆壳岩浆事件;结合华北克拉通其它地区的类似研究结果,暗示华北克拉通可能曾经存在比现今出露面积更大的太古宙早期的古老陆壳。这些古老锆石的Hf同位素分析显示,它们的εHf(t)值在-6.19~0.95之间,平均为-2.54,两阶段Hf模式年龄在3737~4353Ma之间,平均值为~4.1Ga,远大于锆石的U-Pb年龄,指示华北克拉通存在~4.1Ga的地壳增生作用及古老陆壳(3.55Ga)的再循环。     

Initial accretion of the North Qinling Terrane to the North China Craton before the Grenville orogeny: constraints from detrital zircons

Whether the North Qinling Terrane (NQT) was accreted to the North China Craton (NCC) in the Proterozoic is still a matter of debate. We report the first detrital zircon study from the Baishugou Formation, which forms the uppermost part of the Mesoproterozoic Guandaokou Group, at the southernmost NCC margin. Detrital zircons from carbonaceous silty phyllite in the lower part of the Baishugou Formation yield U–Pb ages peaking at ca. 2500 Ma, with minor peaks at ca. 2300–2000, 1800, and 1600 Ma, and εHf(t) values ranging from ?10.8 to +9.1. These zircons are considered to have been sourced from the NCC. In contrast, the middle-to-upper part of the formation contains detrital zircons which yield an age group ranging from 1800 to 1000 Ma, with peaks at 1800, 1500, 1300, and 1100 Ma; the zircons with ages of 1500–1300 Ma dominantly have εHf(t) values greater than +5 and the majority plot along the depleted mantle evolution curve. The striking difference between the U–Pb ages of the detrital zircons from the upper and lower parts of the formation suggests a shift in provenance. Magmatism at 1500–1300 Ma has not been reported from the southern margin of the NCC but has been discovered in the NQT. Hence, we deduce that the zircons from the upper part of the formation were primarily derived from the NQT, where an episode of crustal growth and magmatism is recorded between 1500 and 1100 million years. The variable sediment provenances imply that the NCC and NQT could be connected during the late Mesoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic. The pattern of detrital zircon ages in the new sediments from the Baishugou Formation is distinct from those in the Kuanping Group and the Palaeozoic Erlangping Complex, which are at present sandwiched between the NCC and the NQT. The detrital zircons from these two groups are dominated by an age peak at ca. 1000 Ma, which is formed as the result of amalgamation of the NQT and the Rodinia Supercontinent during the Grenville orogeny. It is possible that the new sediments of the Baishugou Formation were deposited before Grenville orogeny.     

Linking continental deep subduction with destruction of a cratonic margin: strongly reworked North China SCLM intruded in the Triassic Sulu UHP belt

The collision between the North and South China cratons in Middle Triassic time (240–225 Ma) created the world’s largest belt of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism. U–Pb ages, Hf isotope systematics and trace element compositions of zircons from the Xugou, Yangkou and Hujialing peridotites in the Sulu UHP terrane mainly record a ~470 Ma tectonothermal event, coeval with the Early Paleozoic kimberlite eruptions within the North China craton. This event is interpreted as the result of metasomatism by fluids/melts derived from multiple sources including a subducting continental slab. The peridotites also contain zircons with ages of ~3.1 Ga, and Hf isotope data imply a component ≥3.2 Ga old. Most zircon Hf depleted mantle model ages are ~1.3 Ga, suggesting that the deep subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath the southeastern margin of the North China craton experienced a intense mid-Mesoproterozoic metasomatism by asthenospheric components, similar to the case for the eastern part of this craton. Integrating data from peridotites along the southern margin of the craton, we argue that the deep lithosphere of the cratonic margin (≥3.2 Ga old), from which the Xugou, Yangkou and Hujialing peridotites were derived, experienced Proterozoic metasomatic modification, followed by a strong Early Paleozoic (~470 Ma) tectonothermal event and the Early Mesozoic (~230 Ma) collision and northward subduction of the Yangtze craton. The Phanerozoic decratonization of the eastern North China craton, especially along its southern margin, was not earlier than the Triassic continental collision. This work also demonstrates that although zircons are rare in peridotitic rocks, they can be used to unravel the history of specific lithospheric domains and thus contribute to our understanding of the evolution of continental cratons and their margins.     

Zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions of two types of supracrustal rocks in the Northeastern Sulu UHP terrane: constraints on the surface boundary between South China and North China

ABSTRACT

There are voluminous ultrahigh pressure-related orthogneisses and minor metamorphic supracrustal rocks in the northeastern Sulu UHP terrane (NSL), East China. The tectonic affinities of the supracrustal rocks are crucial for unravelling the deep continental subduction processes and locating the tectonic suture between the South China (SCB) and North China (NCB) blocks. In this contribution, we report new zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotope data for the supracrustal rocks and metagabbros in the Zeku region of the NSL. In the Zeku region, the supracrustal rocks are spatially associated with granitic gneisses, metagabbros, and eclogites. Detrital zircon U–Pb analyses yield ages between 3.39 and 0.65 Ga that cluster as three major age populations including (1) 2.15–1.68 Ga with two subpeaks at ~1.83 Ga and~1.97 Ga, (2) 2.45–2.15 Ga with a peak at ~2.37 Ga, and (3) 0.79–0.65 Ga. In addition, there is a small age population between 3.39 and 2.61 Ga. The youngest age population of 0.79–0.65 Ga indicates that the Zeku supracrustal rocks must have been deposited after 650 Ma rather than during the Palaeoproterozoic as previously thought. The 210–190 Ma metamorphic ages suggest that the Zeku rocks were affected by Triassic collision–subduction and exhumation. Most of the Archaean-Palaeoproterozoic zircons have negative ε_Hf(t) values and two-stage Hf model ages concentrating at 2.4–3.4 Ga (peak at ~2.9 Ga), indicating that source rocks of these zircons were mainly derived from recycling of ancient crustal material. These ages, together with the Hf isotopic compositions and rock assemblages, indicate that the Zeku supracrustal rocks were mainly derived from the Precambrian basement rocks of the northern Yangzte Block and have a tectonic affinity to the SCB, rather than the NCB. Our results, together with previously published data, suggest that there are two types of supracrustal rocks with different zircon U–Pb ages and tectonic affinities in the NSL. On the basis of new data, we suggest that the surface boundary between the SCB and NCB in the Jiaodong Peninsula is a complicated tectonic mélange zone rather than a single fault.     

北秦岭构造带与华北板块关系探讨: 来自宽坪杂岩变碎屑岩锆石U-Pb年代学与变质作用证据

宽坪杂岩是连接北秦岭构造带和华北板块的重要岩石-构造单元之一,其物质组成和变质变形特征可为探讨北秦岭构造带与华北板块构造关系及演化提供重要证据。本文在已有研究基础上,对宝鸡-眉县-洛南一带宽坪变碎屑岩进行了系统的岩石学、矿物学和碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学研究。结果表明,宽坪碎屑岩最年轻碎屑锆石年龄峰值为~550Ma,最主要碎屑锆石年龄集中区为~2.5Ga和1.0~0.9Ga,次要年龄集中区为1.3~1.0Ga和850~750Ma。通过与周缘可能物源区的年代学特征对比揭示,宽坪碎屑岩物源主要来自北秦岭新元古代花岗岩与秦岭岩群副片麻岩,部分来自南秦岭和扬子板块北缘新元古代花岗岩以及太古宙基底岩系,缺乏华北板块物质;宽坪碎屑岩的碎屑锆石年龄谱特征与南侧的二郎坪碎屑岩近乎一致,暗示两者可能形成于同一沉积盆地。相平衡模拟结果显示,洛南红土岭宽坪杂岩含石榴子石石英片岩记录了顺时针P-T演化轨迹,峰期变质条件为P=7.17~7.92kbar,T=557~563℃,形成于大陆碰撞过程。结合前人报道宽坪杂岩~440Ma的变质年龄,我们认为在早志留世时期宽坪和二郎坪沉积盆地闭合,北秦岭构造带与华北板块碰撞形成现今的构造格局,在此之前北秦岭构造带与华北板块不具有亲缘性。

     

鄂尔多斯盆地周缘地壳形成与演化历史:来自锆石U-Pb年龄与Hf同位素组成的证据

锆石U-Pb定年及Hf同位素测定结果表明,鄂尔多斯盆地周缘的华北板块北缘、兴蒙造山系及扬子板块-秦岭-大别-苏鲁造山带等构造单元系统具有明显不同的形成与演化历史。华北板块北缘锆石年龄平均值为1 837 Ma,最强烈的岩浆活动出现于2 200~1 800 Ma,该期锆石约占全部的40%;次为强烈的岩浆活动在2 800~2 200 Ma,其众数在全部锆石中约占30%;1 500~1 200 Ma、500~100 Ma这两个阶段形成的锆石在全区所占比例各约为15%。华北板块北缘最突出的特征是基本不含1 000~700 Ma期间形成的锆石,>3 000 Ma的锆石在全区分布极为有限。锆石Hf同位素亏损地幔模式年龄表明华北板块北缘平均值为2.55 Ga,较U-Pb平均年龄老,说明2 200~1 800 Ma期间形成的锆石含有较多的古老地壳再循环组分。Hf亏损地幔模式年龄最强峰值约为2.8 Ga,与全岩Nd亏损地幔模式年龄的峰值相一致,Hf模式年龄为3.0~2.25 Ga的颗粒占全部的近95%,证明华北板块北缘的地壳增生主要在太古宙至古元古代期间。Hf同位素亏损地幔模式年龄>3.0 Ga的锆石颗粒所占比例不到0.1%,另外近5%锆石的模式年龄分布于中元古代。晚古生代-中生代所形成的锆石均是先存地壳组分,尤其是中元古代增生地壳的熔融作用形成。兴蒙造山系中锆石U-Pb年龄平均值为497 Ma,最强峰分布于石炭纪(约320 Ma),石炭纪-二叠纪末(350~250 Ma)形成的锆石所占比例达30%以上。新元古代至早古生代(600~440 Ma)形成的锆石占全部锆石的55%以上,而中元古代末-新元古代期间(1 200~600 Ma)形成的锆石在全区仅占4%。中元古代以前形成的锆石非常有限,说明该区最早形成的地壳组分在兴蒙造山系的形成过程中较充分地参与到后期的岩浆作用过程中。兴蒙造山系中锆石相应的Hf同位素亏损地幔模式年龄平均为1.13 Ga,明显较相应的U-Pb年龄老,最强峰值出现于约0.6 Ga。Hf亏损地幔模式年龄为0.7~0.28 Ga的颗粒在兴蒙造山系所占比例达57%,证明该区最强烈的地壳增生发生于新元古代至古生代期间。Hf同位素亏损地幔模式年龄分布于1.5~0.7 Ga的锆石在全区约占38%,说明此期间也是该区地壳较强烈的增生期。Hf亏损地幔模式年龄大于1.5 Ga的锆石所占比例不到5%,古生代以后兴蒙造山系也基本没有明显的地壳增生。扬子与秦岭-大别-苏鲁造山带构造单元中的锆石U-Pb年龄平均为799 Ma,年龄为1 300~750 Ma的锆石在全部锆石中约占70%。晚古生代-燕山期形成的锆石约占20%。年龄在3 500~2 650 Ma、2 118~1 680 Ma的锆石在该区各约占5%。结合扬子与秦岭-大别-苏鲁造山带平均为1.56 Ga的Nd亏损地幔模式年龄特征,说明1 300~750 Ma期间该区较强烈的岩浆作用事件中有较多的古老地壳组分加入其中。锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素组成均说明鄂尔多斯盆地周缘各构造单元具有不同的形成演化历史。地壳是幕式增长的,但各构造单元每幕发生的时间、强度存在明显差别。因此,由盆地中不同时代地层中碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素组成及全岩Nd同位素特征的系统研究可反演盆地物源供给与周围构造单元之间的关系。     

海南三亚中元古代变质砾岩的发现及其对Columbia超大陆裂解的指示

海南岛中元古代沉积记录对于探讨华南陆块早期大陆演化过程起关键作用。对海南三亚三郎岭地区奥陶系干沟村组砂岩-板岩组合中的变砾岩形成时代进行了重新厘定。碎屑锆石U-Pb同位素年龄分析结果表明,65颗锆石207Pb/206U年龄范围为2691~1350 Ma,且分成2691~2444 Ma、1838~1632 Ma、1540~1350 Ma三组,形成约1699 Ma、约1440 Ma 2个主要峰值和约2461 Ma的1个次要峰值。基于最年轻锆石年龄为1350 Ma,且没有出现海南岛常见的1250~1100 Ma和1000~900 Ma年龄记录,将该套变质砾岩沉积时代限定在1350~1250 Ma,而并非前人划属的奥陶纪,这是海南岛首次发现中元古代的砾岩建造。该套变砾岩砾石成分成熟度高、结构成熟度中等,表现为裂谷盆地高密度的碎屑流沉积特征,是研究区Columbia超大陆裂解晚期的沉积响应。变质砾岩与劳伦大陆西部的Belt-Purcell超群下部沉积地层具有相似的碎屑锆石年龄组成和年龄谱特征,暗示中元古代哥伦比亚超大陆中,海南岛与劳伦西部靠近。
