西藏罗布莎豆荚状铬铁矿中发现超高压矿物柯石英

在西藏雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带东段的罗布莎豆荚状铬铁矿床中发现典型的超高压矿物柯石英和蓝晶石, 二者呈针柱状交生, 产在一个以TiFe合金成分为主的颗粒(0.7mm× 0.5mm大小) 的最外部.该颗粒从内到外由4层矿物组成, 分别为TiFe合金主体、2 0~ 70 μm宽的自然钛、约10 μm宽的TiSi合金及30~ 5 0 μm宽的柯石英和蓝晶石为主的硅酸岩和氧化物层.主体矿物为高Ti低Fe的TiFe合金, 内部出现由细粒状低Ti高Fe的TiFe合金和自然钛组成的蠕英结构.最外层由柯石英和蓝晶石组成的格架中分布细粒的Si金红石和Ti-Mg -K -Na -Ca氧化物.初步认为TiFe合金从深部高温高压环境往浅部上升过程中, 内部发生局部熔融, 分解出自然Ti, 并在其边部与其他硅酸岩矿物或熔体发生反应, 形成柯石英和蓝晶石.这一过程可能发生在洋脊拉张环境, 由于地幔柱的上涌, 将深部的豆荚状铬铁矿带到浅部, 使得其中包裹的一些高温高压环境下稳定的矿物变得不稳定, 发生熔融和交代反应, 形成新的不平衡的矿物组合.罗布莎柯石英的这种不寻常产出特征说明是在减压过程中形成, 不同于造山带中常见的由板块俯冲增压过程中形成的柯石英      

东帕米尔及邻区古生界基性火山岩地球化学特征与构造属性

西昆仑山库地、乌依塔格地区的超铁镁质岩及基性火山岩的岩石化学、微量元素、稀土元素特征表明：在震旦－早古生代时期塔里木板块南部的被动陆缘上存在一个扩张规模有限的边缘海洋盆;而在喀喇昆仑山南带的明铁盖地区下二叠统的深海相的硅质岩、纹泥岩、滑塌堆积物及基性火山岩岩石化学、微量、稀元素特征表明,是属于塔里木板块南部活动大陆边缘上的弧后盆地,陆壳的增生是以软碰撞的方式实现的。     

新疆艾母土巴斯它乌蛇绿岩地质特征

艾母土巴斯它乌蛇绿岩为区域上阿拉尔—巴音沟—古尔图蛇绿岩带的西延部分,是华力西中期准噶尔微板块与伊犁—伊赛克湖微板块俯冲带的重要组成部分,为该处存在微板块缝合带提供了依据。带内发育早石炭世洋盆火山—沉积岩系、蛇绿岩。地球化学特征显示蛇绿岩于早石炭世晚期形成于微洋盆扩张环境。     

蛇绿岩岩石组合及洋脊下岩浆作用

蛇绿岩的岩石组合从下至上分为４个单元,即：变质橄榄岩单元、深成杂岩单元、席状岩墙群杂岩单元和喷出岩单元。各单元的岩石组合是多种多样的：变质橄榄岩单元主要由方辉橄榄岩、二辉橄榄岩和少量纯橄岩及斜长二辉橄榄岩组成;深成杂岩单元单元包括辉长岩－镁铁质堆晶岩和超镁铁质堆晶岩,在深成杂岩和席状岩墙群杂岩单元内在复杂的岩浆侵入事件;喷出岩单元不仅仅由玄武岩组成,还包括安山岩、玻安岩、钠长岩以及乐砾岩、凝灰岩等     

内蒙古平安地地区元古代蛇绿混杂岩岩石地球化学特征及构造意义

平安地蛇绿混杂岩是笔者在"内蒙古锡林郭勒盟朱日和等三幅1∶5万地质矿产综合调查"工作中识别出的一套混杂岩。该混杂岩位于兴蒙造山带南缘,其地处华北板块演化的关键部位。本文对其进行了岩石类型、岩石地球化学及同位素年代学测试分析,结果表明:该套混杂岩主要由蛇绿岩和洋岛海山岩等组成;根据获得的LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄数据及锆石特征,主体岩性形成于中元古代或早中元古代。推测该套混杂岩记录了元古代哥伦比亚超大陆聚合过程中的洋陆转化事件,属于华北克拉通的古元古代变质基底。     

Formation and emplacement ages of the SSZ‐type Neotethyan ophiolites in Central Anatolia,Turkey: palaeotectonic implications

Isolated outcrops of ophiolitic rocks, termed the Central Anatolian Ophiolites, are found as allochthonous bodies in the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex, that represent the metamorphosed passive northern edge of the Tauride–Anatolide Platform, central Turkey. In terms of pseudostratigraphic relationships of the magmatic units and their chemical designation, the Central Anatolian Ophiolites exhibit a supra‐subduction zone (fore‐arc) setting within the Vardar–İzmir–Ankara–Erzincan segment of the Neotethys. The epi‐ophiolitic sedimentary cover of the Central Anatolian Ophiolites is generally characterized by epiclastic volcanogenic deep‐sea sediments and debris flows intercalated with pelagic units. The richest and most significant planktonic foraminiferal association recorded from the lowest pelagic members infer a formation age of early–middle Turonian to early Santonian. K/Ar ages of post‐collisional granitoids (81–65 Ma) intruding the basement rocks as well as the Central Anatolian Ophiolites suggest a post‐early Santonian to pre‐middle Campanian emplacement age. The marked high volume of epiclastic volcanogenic sediments intercalated with the pelagics of the Central Anatolian Ophiolite is suggestive of rifting in a marginal sea adjacent to a volcanic arc. Penecontemporaneous tectonism is reflected in repetitions in the stratigraphy and in debris flows, which result from major slides and mass‐gravity reworking of pre‐existing units and of arc‐derived volcanics and sediments. Correlating the rock units and formation/obduction ages of the Central Anatolian Ophiolites with further supra‐subduction zone type ophiolites in the eastern (Turkey) and western (Greece) parts of the Vardar–İzmir–Ankara–Erzincan segment of Neotethys we conclude that the intraoceanic subduction in the east is definitely younger and the closure history of this segment is more complex than previously suggested.
