Crust-mantle interaction during the tectono-thermal reactivation of the North China Craton: constraints from SHRIMP zircon U–Pb chronology and geochemistry of Mesozoic plutons from western Shandong

Chronological, geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic analyses have been carried out on the Mesozoic plutons in western Shandong with the aim of characterizing crustal–mantle evolution during the tectono-thermal reactivation of the craton. Detailed SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating reveals two main periods of Mesozoic activity with contrasting compositions. The older magmatic pulse is manifested by monzonites and monzodiorites from Tongshi for which zircon rims yield a concordant age of 177±4 Ma and the cores have a discordant age of ca. 2.5 Ga. Low MgO and Cr, high Na₂O contents and especially their isotopic compositions (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr < 0.7042, ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb < 16.8 and _Nd ~ –12) are consistent with derivation from late Archean–Paleoproterozoic lower crust. Relatively high HREE contents in these Jurassic plutons indicate a garnet-free source (<32 km), in contrast to the garnet-bearing source (>40 km) of the late Mesozoic high Sr and low Y granitoids from the same region. Distinctively different depths of crustal melting suggest dynamic thickening of the crust by magmatic underplating during the Jurassic and Cretaceous. The younger dioritic plutons from Laiwu and Yinan were emplaced at 132–126 Ma and show relatively high MgO and Cr contents and large isotopic variability. They were likely derived from enriched lithospheric mantle source and were subjected to crustal contamination during magma evolution. Early Cretaceous mantle melting is coeval with the widespread late Yanshanian granitic magmatism in North China. Early Cretaceous time may correspond to a critical period when a temperature increase due to lithospheric thinning allowed the intersection of the local geotherm and the wet peridotite solidus. While some mantle-derived magmas were erupted, most were trapped at variable crustal depths, triggering large-scale concomitant melting of the crust. Lithospheric thinning must have continued until the late Cretaceous because of the change in the source of mafic magmas from lithospheric to asthenospheric at that time. It is proposed that removal of the lithospheric keel beneath the North China craton may have been initiated as early as the Jurassic, but with the most intense period in the Cretaceous between 130–75 Ma. Such a relatively long timescale (~100 Ma) emphasizes the role of thermomechanical erosion by convective mantle in lithospheric thinning beneath this region.     

Topaz–albite granites and rare-metal mineralization in the Limu District, Guangxi Province, southeast China

The topaz-albite granites of the Limu district are ultra-acidic, peraluminous, Li-F-Na-rich and Sn-Ta-Nb-mineralized. A distinct vertical zonation is developed in the granite stocks. There is an upward, systematic transition from leucocratic microcline-albite granite, through albite-microcline granite, topaz-albite granite, pegmatite stockscheider and layered pegmatite-aplite dikes, to K-feldspar-quartz veins and lepidolite-fluorite stringers in the country rocks. Snow-ball textures, homogeneous distribution of rock-forming and accessory minerals, disseminated mineralization, and melt inclusions in quartz, topaz, and albite are typical features indicative of their crystallization from the late stage Li-F-Na-rich and Sn-Ta-Nb-bearing residual granitic melts at a higher intrusion level. A comparison with rare-metal-bearing pegmatite, ongonite, topaz rhyolite and obsidian glass from other regions shows the worldwide existence of these specialized residual melts. Their emplacement and crystallization in a variety of geological environments result in the formation of a series of chemically similar rocks with different petrographic textures and mineral associations. The topaz-albite granites and associated mineralization in the Limu district provide a good example of highly evolved magmatic fractionation in the F-rich granite system and fluid/melt partitioning behavior of rare-metal elements during magmatic-hydrothermal evolution.     

“Reactive” harzburgites from Huinan, NE China: products of the lithosphere-asthenosphere interaction during lithospheric thinning?

Petrologic, trace element and Sr-Nd isotopic studies of mantle xenoliths in Quaternary basalts from Huinan, NE China provide constraints on the origin of coarse-grained harzburgites and the nature of lithosphere-asthenosphere interaction during lithospheric thinning. The Huinan harzburgites have a secondary recrystallized texture and their composition deviates from the partial melting trend of residual peridotites. The convex-upward REE pattern and a positive Cr-Yb correlation in clinopyroxene imply an interaction with basaltic melts at a high melt/rock ratio. The Huinan harzburgites are therefore not simple residues of partial melting, but likely resulted from melt-rock interaction during which the percolating melts preferentially dissolved pyroxenes by precipitation of olivine, transforming lherzolite to harzburgite. The melt percolation-reaction enhanced grain boundary diffusion kinetics, and gave rise to the characteristic texture of these mantle rocks. These “reactive” harzburgites were eventually metasomatized by compositionally distinct small volume volatile-rich melts, which may be derived from the main harzburgite-forming event as a result of melt-consuming reaction. Most likely the formation of the Huinan harzburgites was coeval with thermo-tectonic erosion of the continental lithosphere by upwelling asthenospheric melts. Thermometric considerations suggest a relatively long time interval between lithospheric thinning and eruption of the host basalts, consistent with the contention that lithospheric thinning in eastern China may have peaked in the late Cretaceous.     

温度对厚壳贻贝(Mytilus coruscus)鳃组织纤毛结构及摄食率的影响机制研究

纤毛是着生在贻贝鳃上感知外界物理和化学信号并帮助食物转运的一类重要细胞结构, 温度的变化会改变纤毛的形态和生理生化特征, 从而影响贻贝的摄食行为。为探究不同温度下厚壳贻贝的摄食率变化, 以及温度对纤毛的形态、酶活和相关基因表达的影响, 实验设置16、26和32 °C三种温度处理厚壳贻贝, 处理24 h后测定1 h内每个处理组的摄食率, 同时采用组织学方法对各处理组鳃上的纤毛形态结构进行观察,并测定鳃组织的抗氧化酶活力和纤毛相关基因tekt1、tekt2、tekt3、tekt4、caf58、caf100、dnah、rsph99和ift74的表达变化。实验结果显示, 32 °C处理组厚壳贻贝的摄食率显著低于其他两组(P<0.05), 且32 °C处理组贻贝鳃上的前纤毛、侧纤毛以及纤毛细胞受损严重并部分脱落, 血腔间隙破损暴露, 而其余两组鳃上纤毛形态较为正常; 不同温度处理下鳃组织的过氧化氢(H₂O₂)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活力呈现温度特异性; 与16 °C处理组相比, 26 °C处理组中除tekt4和ndah外其他7个纤毛相关基因表达均显著上调, 32 °C处理组除tekt1外其余8个基因表达均显著下调(P<0.05)。上述结果表明, 32 °C高温处理对贻贝鳃上纤毛造成严重损伤, 导致纤毛运动、纤毛再生和纤毛感知功能均受到一定程度的抑制,从而影响食物颗粒的运输, 造成摄食率的降低。
