Trace element and Nd isotope analyses of apatite in granitoids and metamorphosed granitoids from the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Implications for petrogenesis and post-magmatic alteration

We present in situ trace element and Nd isotopic data of apatites from metamorphosed and metasomatized (i.e., altered) and unaltered granitoids in the Songnen and Jiamusi massifs in the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt, with the aim of fingerprinting granitoid petrogenesis, including both the magmatic and post-magmatic evolution processes. Apatites from altered granitoids (AG) and unaltered granitoids (UG) are characterized by distinct textures and geochemical compositions. Apatites from AG have irregular rim overgrowths and complex internal textures, along with low contents of rare earth elements (REEs), suggesting the re-precipitation of apatite during epidote crystallization and/or leaching of REEs from apatite by metasomatic fluids. ε_Nd(t) values of the these apatites are decoupled from zircon ε_Hf(t) values for most samples, which can be attributed to the higher mobility of Nd as compared to Sm in certain fluids. Apatites from UG are of igneous origin based on their homogeneous or concentric zoned textures and coupled Nd-Hf isotopic compositions. Trace element variations in igneous apatite are controlled primarily by the geochemical composition of the parental melt, fractional crystallization of other REE-bearing minerals, and changes in partition coefficients. Sr contents and Eu/Eu* values of apatites from UG correlate with whole-rock Sr and SiO₂ contents, highlighting the effects of plagioclase fractionation during magma evolution. Apatites from UG can be subdivided into four groups based on REE contents. Group 1 apatites have REE patterns similar to the host granitoids, but are slightly enriched in middle REEs, reflecting the influence of the parental melt composition and REE partitioning. Group 2 apatites exhibit strong light REE depletions, whereas Group 3 apatites are depleted in middle and heavy REEs, indicative of the crystallization of epidote-group minerals and hornblende before and/or during apatite crystallization, respectively. Group 4 apatites are depleted in heavy REEs, but enriched in Sr, which are features of adakites. Some unusual geochemical features of the apatites, including the REE patterns, Sr contents, Eu anomalies, and Nd isotopic compositions, indicate that inherited apatites are likely to retain the geochemical features of their parental magmas, and thus provide a record of small-scale crustal assimilation during magma evolution that is not evident from the whole-rock geochemistry.     

张家口—渤海地震带岩石圈磁场时空变化特征

利用2016—2018年3期华北地区流动地磁矢量原始测量资料, 经数据计算获得2期华北地区和张家口—渤海地震活动带及邻区岩石圈磁场时空变化模型。 研究结果显示: 张家口—渤海地震带岩石圈磁场变化空间分布不均匀, 具有明显的分区特征, 在张家口段(西段)与北京段(中西段)分界处和北京段(中西段)与唐山段(中东段)分界处岩石圈磁场各要素具有明显的异常变化, 如水平矢量存在转向和幅值变化, 磁偏角与磁倾角具有正负异常高梯度带的特征, 这与张家口—渤海地震带构造分段性特征密切相关。 张家口—渤海地震带位于燕山块体与华北平原块体之间, 两者运动的平动速率之差是张家口—渤海地震带左旋走滑的直接动力来源, 而各断裂带左旋走滑速率之差很可能是岩石圈磁场空间变化分段性分布的主要原因。     

地下浅部异质体对表面波场谱扰动分析

均匀半无限体中表面源激发近表面波场由瑞利波主导,当浅部存在异质体,前行瑞利波发生散射,异质体周围表面波场响应谱发生变化。当异质体长度相对波长较大时,由异质体上方表面质点响应谱提取绕射波频散曲线可分析异质体与周围介质刚度差异对绕射波传播特性的影响。与含软层或硬层半无限体中瑞利波特性比较,可以发现绕射波具有与瑞利波类似的传播特性。异质体上方谱变化特征与异质体和周围介质间刚度差异有关,本研究基于异质体绕射波与入射瑞利波位移结构差异解释谱变化现象。结果表明：异质体上方谱与周围谱明显不同,在偏移距−波长域,相对于前方波场,软质体上方谱密度整体呈减弱趋势,硬质体上方谱密度整体呈增强趋势。根据谱密度变化对应偏移距、波长及谱密度强弱,可以预估异质体在传播方向的位置、埋深,并识别异质体类型。     

中亚造山带东南部晚古生代-早中生代地壳增生和古亚洲洋演化:来自内蒙古东南部林西-东乌旗地区岩浆岩的证据SCIEI北大核心CSCD

本文在系统收集内蒙古林西-东乌旗地区晚古生代-早中生代岩浆岩的年代学、岩石地球化学以及锆石Hf同位素资料基础上,通过分析岩浆岩岩石组合随时空的变化规律,并结合区域地质资料,探讨了中亚造山带东南部洋盆演化和地壳增生等重要地质问题。研究结果表明,二连浩特-贺根山蛇绿岩带南、北两侧晚古生代-早中生代岩浆岩在年代学上显示不同的活动期次,具有不同岩石组合和地球化学特征,指示它们分属于不同的构造岩浆岩带。蛇绿岩带以北晚泥盆世-中二叠世岩浆活动在时间上呈连续分布的特征,并在晚石炭-早二叠世时期达到活动峰值。火成岩构造组合分析表明,晚泥盆世-石炭纪和早-中二叠世岩浆活动分别与二连浩特-贺根山洋盆向乌里雅斯太大陆边缘之下的俯冲和洋盆闭合后俯冲板片断离引起的软流圈上涌造成的区域伸展背景有关。蛇绿岩带以南岩浆活动时间上呈现石炭纪、早-中二叠世、晚二叠世-三叠纪幕式分布特征,各期岩浆活动前锋有随时间向南迁移的趋势。这三期岩浆活动分别与古亚洲洋板片向宝力道岛弧之下的俯冲、板片后撤以及洋盆消失之后古板块的碰撞造山作用有关。锆石Hf同位素分析表明,中亚造山带东南部晚古生代至早中生代时期存在显著的地壳增生;其中二连浩特-贺根山蛇绿岩带以北表现为地壳的垂向增生,以南表现为地壳的侧向增生。     

喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩

在青藏高原南部的喜马拉雅地区,分布有两条世界瞩目的淡色花岗岩带。南带主要沿高喜马拉雅和特提斯喜马拉雅之间的藏南拆离系(STDS)分布,俗称高喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩带,构成喜马拉雅山的主体。北带淡色花岗岩位于特提斯喜马拉雅单元内,又被称之为特提斯喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩带。这些花岗岩多以规模不等的岩席形式侵入到周边沉积-变质岩系之中,或者呈岩株状产出于变质穹窿的核部。岩体本身大多岩性均匀,变形程度不等,但岩体边缘可见较多的围岩捕虏体,并在部分情况下见及围岩的接触变质作用,反映它们的异地侵位特征。上述两带中的淡色花岗岩在矿物组成和岩石类型上表现为惊人的相似性,主要由不同比例的石英、钾长石、斜长石、黑云母(5%)、白云母、电气石和石榴石等构成二云母花岗岩、电气石花岗岩和石榴石花岗岩三大主要岩石类型。从不同地区的野外观察来看,二云母花岗岩为喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩的主体岩石类型,而电气石花岗岩和石榴石花岗岩主要以规模不等的脉体形式赋存于二云母花岗岩之中,反映前两者晚期侵位的特征。地球化学特征上,这些花岗岩具有高Si、Al、K,低Ca、Mg、Fe、Ti的特点,接近花岗岩的低共熔点组分。绝大多数淡色花岗岩具有较高的含铝指数,属于过铝花岗岩。微量元素表现为较大的变化范围,但总体上表现为富集大离子亲石元素K、Rb和放射性元素U,而不同程度亏损Ba、Th、Nb、Sr、Ti等元素。稀土元素总量总体上明显低于世界上酸性岩的平均丰度,且绝大部分表现为轻-中等程度的稀土元素分馏和不同程度的Eu负异常。传统认为,喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩是原地-近原地侵位的纯地壳来源的低熔花岗岩。但本文通过分析提出,该花岗岩可能是从一种高温的花岗岩浆演化而来,其岩浆源区的性质或成因类型目前还难以确定。该岩浆在上升侵位的过程中曾经历过大规模地壳物质的混染,并发生了高度分离结晶作用。因此,喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩首先是一种高分异型的花岗岩,是真正意义上的异地深成侵入体,而并不是原地或半原地的部分熔融体。这种以大规模地壳混染和结晶分异作用为特征的花岗岩系,在花岗岩的研究内容中还未被充分地讨论。以前根据相关信息认为这些岩石来自于沉积岩部分熔融的结论,只是较多地注意到了后期地壳混染和结晶分异作用的特征。即使这些岩石的原始岩浆将来被证明真的来源于沉积岩系的部分熔融,那以前的结论也只能说是"歪打正着"。根据形成年龄和地质-地球化学特征,本文将这些花岗岩划分为原喜马拉雅(44~26Ma)、新喜马拉雅(26~13Ma)和后喜马拉雅(13~7Ma)三大阶段。其中第一阶段对应印度-亚洲汇聚而导致的大陆碰撞造山作用,而后两个阶段同加厚的喜马拉雅-青藏高原碰撞造山带拆沉作用有关,对应青藏高原的全面隆升。根据这些淡色花岗岩的岩石与地球化学特征,我们还不能支持青藏高原存在广泛的中地壳流动的模型。相反,俯冲的高喜马拉雅岩系在深部的部分熔融及随该岩系折返而发生的分离结晶作用可很好地解释淡色花岗岩所具有的系列特征。     

Formation and Evolution of Early Precambrian Continental Crust in Alxa Block

By the analysis of the published zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotope data, this paper firstly presents a comprehensive review about the staggered growth and reworking of early Precambrian continental crust in Alxa Block. The results show that the ancient crustal remnants of Alxa Block was formed in Meso-Paleo Archean, which was recorded by 3.0~3.6 Ga detrital zircons and Hf model ages. The early crustal growth of Alxa Block could be traced back to early Paleo-archean. Currently, the oldest zircon U-Pb age is about 3.6 Ga. Analogous to the other places of North China Craton, the Alxa Block underwent two-stage crustal growth at 2.7~2.9 Ga and 2.5~2.6 Ga respectively, and the former might be wider. The ~2.5 Ga (TTG) tectono-magmatic event, which represents the North China continent’s cratonization, also existed in Alxa Block. The corresponding zircon Hf isotope data indicate that the TTGs were mainly derived by melting of 2.7~2.9 Ga juvenile crust, possibly by mixing with a certain ancient crust, and a small portion was produced by instant reworking of 2.5~2.6 Ga juvenile crust. Proceeding to Paleo-proterozoic, the Alxa Block underwent multi-stage tectono-magmatic events, approximately peaked at 2.30~2.35 Ga, 2.15~2.17 Ga, 2.00~2.10 Ga, 1.95~1.98 Ga and ~1.90 Ga. The continental crust was mainly formed by reworking of 2.7~2.9 Ga and 2.5~2.6 Ga juvenile crust, simultaneously by a fraction of ~2.1 Ga juvenile crust. In Paleo-proterozoic, not only the Archean crustal reworking but also the juvenile crustal growth existed in Alxa Block.

Seismic observations have shown structural variation near the base of the mantle transition zone(MTZ)where subducted cold slabs,as visualized with high seismic speed anomalies(HSSAs),flatten to form stagnant slabs or sink further into the lower mantle.The different slab behaviors were also accompanied by variation of the "660 km" discontinuity depths and low viscosity layers(LVLs) beneath the MTZ that are suggested by geoid inversion studies.We address that deep water transport by subducted slabs and dehydration from hydrous slabs could affect the physical properties of mantle minerals and govern slab dynamics.A systematic series of three-dimensional numerical simulation has been conducted to examine the effects of viscosity reduction or contrast between slab materials on slab behaviors near the base of the MTZ.We found that the viscosity reduction of subducted crustal material leads to a separation of crustal material from the slab main body and its transient stagnation in the MTZ.The once trapped crustal materials in the MTZ eventually sink into the lower mantle within 20-30 My from the start of the plate subduction.The results suggest crustal material recycle in the whole mantle that is consistent with evidence from mantle geochemistry as opposed to a two-layer mantle convection model.Because of the smaller capacity of water content in lower mantle minerals than in MTZ minerals,dehydration should occur at the phase transformation depth,~660 km.The variation of the discontinuity depths and highly localized low seismic speed anomaly(LSSA) zones observed from seismic P waveforms in a relatively high frequency band(~1 Hz) support the hypothesis of dehydration from hydrous slabs at the phase boundary.The LSSAs which correspond to dehydration induced fluids are likely to be very local,given very small hydrogen(H~+) diffusivity associated with subducted slabs.The image of such local LSSA zones embedded in HSSAs may not be necessarily captured in tomography studies.The high electrical conductivity in the MTZ beneath the northwestern Pacific subduction zone does not necessarily require a broad range of high water content homogeneously.
