Post-collisional adakitic biotite plagiogranites from Guangtoushan pluton (Mianxian, central China): Petrogenesis and tectonic implication

The post-collisional Guangtoushan pluton intruded into the Mianlue suture, Central China. Geochemically, the Guangtoushan biotite plagiogranites show many close compositional similarities to high-silica adakites from the supra-subduction zone setting, but tend to have a higher concentration of K₂O (3.22%–3.84%). Chondrite-normalized rare earth element patterns are characterized by high ratios of (La/Yb)_N, concave-upward shapes of the heavy rare earth element (HREE), and a lack of significant Eu anomalies. In conjunction with high abundances of Ba and Sr, as well as low abundances of Y and HREE, these patterns suggest a feldspar-poor, garnet±amohibole-rich fractionation mineral assemblage. Coupled with previous studies, we suggest that the Guangtoushan biotite plagiogranites were likely to be caused by subducting slab break-off during the late orogenic stage in the West Qinling orogenic belt.

白云母／二云母花岗岩形成与陆内俯冲作用

讨论了白云母／二云母花岗岩的机成机制及其与陆内俯冲作用的成生联系。以高喜马拉雅地区为例，从地质学、岩石学、地球化学、实验岩石学和地球物理学等多方位论述了白云母花岗岩形成过程的主要约束，提出并论证了一个比较合理的陆内俯冲带热结构与白云母／二云母花岗岩形成的成因模型，通过分析，得出了一个重要的新结论：白云母花岗岩的形成是陆内俯冲作用的结果。     

秦岭勉(县)略(阳)缝合带及南秦岭地块的变质动力学研究

将变质地质学与构造地质学的研究相结合,将造山过程与变质演化相结合,系统研究了勉(县)略(阳)缝合带的康县—高川段变质动力学特征及其与佛坪递增变质带的关系,认为该区变质作用时空演化特征表现为:不同构造环境同时出现不同类型的变质(如俯冲、拉张等),同一地带不同时期或阶段变质类型的叠加(如俯冲与碰撞),不同地段具差异抬升的历史等特征,从而导致变质类型在空间上的复杂性。这一结果也表明勉略带是一复杂的蛇绿构造混杂岩带,其内部不同的一系列构造岩片早期曾有不同的变质演化历史,后期经历了相似的变质叠加,最后在构造作用下差异抬升。该区变质作用演化可细分为4个阶段:主体发生于海西期并延续至印支早期的拉张变质作用阶段,晚海西—印支期俯冲变质作用阶段,印支晚期碰撞变质作用阶段和印支末期的热接触变质作用和动力退变质作用阶段。勉略缝合带康县—高川段不同岩片及佛坪递增变质带的PTt轨迹研究,揭示了它们不同的变质动力学演化及俯冲、碰撞、拆沉的构造演化过程和机制,也反映了缝合带是由不同层次、起源和环境的岩石经构造作用混杂而成,并经历了后期差异隆升剥蚀历史。     

Geochemistry of the ophiolite and oceanic island basalt in the Kangxian-Pipasi-Nanping tectonic melange zone, South Qinling and their tectonic significance

Detailed studies indicate that Kangxian-Pipasi-Nanping tectonic zone is a complicated melange zone which includes many tectonic slabs of different origins. Ophiolite (MORB-type basalt), oceanic island tholeiite and alkaline basalt have been identified. Moreover, this tectonic melange zone is eastward connected with the Mianlue suture zone. The deformation characteristics, consisting components and volcanic rock geochemical features for the Kangxian-Pipasi-Nanping tectonic melange zone are much similar to those of the Mianlue suture zone and Deerni ophiolite. Therefore, the Kangxian-Pipasi-Nanping tectonic melange zone should be the westward extension part of the Mianlue suture zone. It indicates that the Mianlue suture zone had extended to the Nanping area.     

Geochemistry and regional distribution of ophiolites and associated volcanics in Mianle suture, Qinling-Dabie Mountains

The Mianl黣 tectonic zone has been recently identified as an ophiolitic tectonic m閘ange zone on the southern margin of the Qinling Belt[1—6]. The m?lange zone, stretching from east to west in the Mianxian-Lueyang region, represents a newly recog-nized Mianl黣 ophiolitic complex which is quite dif-ferent from the Shangdan ophiolite cropping out in the area between the North and South Qinling in terms of age and composition[1—6]. This paper is to present re-sults of geochemical studies ca…     

Paleozoic Tectonic Switch in the North Qinling Orogenic Belt: Constraints from the Paleozoic Granites from the Northern Qinling Migmatite Terrane

The variations in source rocks and melting conditions of granites can provide essential clues for the crustal magmatic response in orogenic process. Based on geochronology, whole-rock and mineral chemistry, this paper reveals two different granites in the Northern Qinling migmatite complex, which reveal obvious differences in source region and melting condition. The older granodiorite (402 ± 0.8 Ma) displays typical Na-rich adakite affinity, i.e., high Na2O/K2O (2.04 to 2.64) and Sr/Y (96 to 117) ratios, they have relative evolved isotopic compositions (εNd(t) = ?0.52 to ?0.04; zircon εHf(t) = ?0.06 to +7.78). The younger leucogranite (371 ± 2 Ma) displays higher SiO2 (72.32 to 73.45 wt%), lower (TFeO + MgO + CaO + TiO2) contents (<2 wt%) and depleted Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic compositions (i.e., εNd(t) = +2.6 to +3.0; zircon εHf(t) = +5.94 to +14.12), as well as high 10000 × Ga/Al and TFeO/MgO ratios, indicating that they represent highly fractionated I-type granites that derived from melting of juvenile crust. The variations in source rocks and melting condition of the two granites indicating a tectonic switch from compression to extension in 400 to 370 Ma, this switch is later than that in the eastern section of the North Qinling, indicating a scissor collision process between the South Qinling and North China Craton (NCC) in Devonian era.     

An ophiolitic tectonic melange first discovered in Huashan area, south margin of Qinling Orogenic Belt, and its tectonic implications

On the basis of the synthetic studies of geology and geochemistry, an ophiolitic tectonic melange waa discovered in Sanligang-Sanyang area, the western part of Xiangfan-Guangji fault, the south margin of the Qinling Orogenic Belt. It is composed of different tectonic blocks with different lithological features and ages, mainly including the Huashan ophiolite blocks, Xiaofu Island-arc volcanic blocks, pelagic sediments, fore-arc volcanic-sedimentary system, and the massif of the basement and the covering strata of the Yangtze Block. These massifs were emplaced in the western part of Xiangfan-Guangji fault, the boundary between the Qinling Orogenic Belt and Yangtze Block, contacting each other by a shear zone or chaotic matrix. The characteristics of geochemistry indicate that the bash of the Huashan ophiolite are similar to mid-oceanic ridge basalts (MORB) formed in an initial oceanic baain, and the Xiaofu volcanic rocks are formed in a tectonic setting of island arc. The ophiolitic tectonic melange is the fragments of subduction wedge, which implies that there has been an oceanic basin between Qinling Block and Yangtze Block.
