Kinematics and U-Pb zircon ages of the sole metamorphics of the Marmaris Ophiolite,Lycian Nappes,Southwest Turkey

ABSTRACT

In the eastern Mediterranean, the Lycian Nappes are found in the structurally uppermost position in the Anatolide-Tauride belt related to the closure of the Neotethys. In Western Turkey, the Marmaris Ophiolite with the metamorphic sole occupies the uppermost tectonic position in the Lycian belt. The metamorphic sole is represented by discontinuous tectonic slices composed of amphibolites, phyllites, micashists and quartzo-feldspathic micaschists. Zircons from the micashists and quartzo-feldspathic micaschists display dark cores and rims. The cores yield ages between 229 and 175 Ma, inner rims yield ages between 153 and 143 Ma and the outer rims show a concordia age of 96.7 ± 0.79 Ma. In terms of their Th/U ratios, the cores and inner rims indicate igneous origin, whereas the outer rims indicate accretion during metamorphism. By dating of these zircons, the deposition time for the protolith of micaschists and quartzo-feldspathic micaschists could be constrained as the Early Cretaceous. Present-day orientation of the kinematic data from the sole metamorphics and the uppermost part of the Karabörtlen formation clearly suggest a top-to-the NE sense of shear. By taking into account the 25^º–30^º anticlockwise post-emplacement rotation of Southwest Turkey, it follows that the Lycian Nappes were emplaced eastward onto the Menderes Nappes. This tectonic model disagrees with the previous tectonic models suggesting northward or southward movement of the Lycian Nappes onto Menderes Nappes.

西藏罗布莎蛇绿岩中不同产出的纯橄岩及成因探讨

罗布莎蛇绿岩中的纯橄岩有三种产出情况,除了与豆荚状铬铁矿伴生的薄壳状纯橄岩外,还有产在方辉橄榄岩底部被认为是堆晶岩的厚层状纯橄岩和方辉橄榄岩中的透镜状纯橄岩。厚层状纯橄岩约700～1000m厚,以橄榄石富镁(Fo93～95),单斜辉石低铝富镁(Al2O30.47%～0.85%,Mg#95～97),铬尖晶石高铬低镁(Cr#值平均77,Mg#平均51)为特征。该纯橄岩中的浸染状铬铁矿也是高铬低镁型,但Mg#值(平均59)高于厚层状纯橄岩的副矿物铬尖晶石。薄壳状纯橄岩与厚层状纯橄岩成分相近,其橄榄石Fo92～94,单斜辉石Al2O3<1%和Mg#95～97;铬尖晶石的Cr#值平均71,Mg#值平均52。与薄壳状纯橄岩伴生的块状铬铁矿为高镁高铬型,但Mg#值(平均68)相对更高些,Cr#值平均79。透镜状纯橄岩的特征是橄榄石Fo(91～92)和铬尖晶石Cr#(60左右)均低于前两类纯橄岩,但单斜辉石的Al2O3(1.41%～1.71%)则高于前两者。透镜状纯橄岩的矿物成分与方辉橄榄岩重叠,两者为渐变过渡关系。研究对比表明,罗布莎厚层状纯橄岩不同于经典的蛇绿岩的超镁铁质堆晶岩,认为将其成因解释为拉斑玄武质熔体与地幔橄榄岩的反应较为合理。透镜状纯橄岩与方辉橄榄岩存在成生联系,可能是地幔橄榄岩高度部分熔融的产物,或熔体和方辉橄榄岩在原位发生反应的产物;薄壳状纯橄岩成因与厚层状纯橄岩相同,但与其相伴的块状铬铁矿是否由拉斑玄武质熔体与方辉橄榄岩反应形成,值得商榷。     

镁铁-超镁铁岩的分类及其构造意义

镁铁-超镁铁岩分类是镁铁-超镁铁岩研究最基本的问题之一。镁铁-超镁铁岩（不包括金伯利岩、煌斑岩和碱性超镁铁岩等）按照产出的构造背景、岩石组合、伴生矿产大体可分为5类,即：蛇绿岩、义敦型岩体、阿拉斯加型岩体、层状侵入体和橄榄岩-闪长岩型岩体。蛇绿岩代表大洋岩石圈地幔及其分异物,义敦型代表大陆岩石圈地幔及其分异物,阿拉斯加型岩体来自岛弧、活动陆缘环境或具岛弧之下地幔特征的源岩,层状侵入体来自板内伸展构造背景,橄榄岩-闪长岩型岩体的构造背景与阿拉斯加型类似,但是也有产于板内环境的。蛇绿岩是学术界最关注的问题之一,笔者认为,1972年彭罗斯会议确定的蛇绿岩的定义仍然是适用的,斯泰因曼三位一体的概念仍然是有效的,而Delik的蛇绿岩定义和分类是不可取的。笔者认为,义敦型的概念是合适的和有用的。蛇绿岩与义敦型岩体有许多相似之处,但是,它们的构造含义不同。它们之间的区别不是依靠岩石组合本身,也不依靠地球化学,而是依靠野外产出位置和伴生的围岩性质以及构造情况。不同类型的镁铁-超镁铁岩形成的构造背景不同,伴生的矿产类型不同,具有不同的大地构造意义。在野外实践和室内研究中注意它们之间的区别,无论对于理论研究还是找矿研究都是非常重要的。     

新疆天山地区榆树沟-铜花山蛇绿岩特征和构造背景

榆树沟-铜花山蛇绿岩出露于南天山北缘,属哈萨克斯坦-伊犁板块和塔里木板块之间的缝合带。蛇绿岩已被构造肢解,主要由超镁铁岩、堆晶岩、熔岩类组成。超镁铁岩以方辉橄榄岩为主,显示典型的亏损地幔岩特征,橄榄石为富镁型,Fo为90;斜方辉石为顽火辉石,En为90,单斜辉石含量少;副矿物铬尖晶石属低铬型,Cr^#值(＝Cr/(Cr+Al)×100)16~28,Mg^#值(=Mg/(Mg+Fe)×100)63~75,反映了深海橄榄岩特征。归一化后榆树沟超镁铁岩MgO含量38.84%~44.53%,Al₂O₃为1.51%~3.63%,CaO为0.42%~5.77%,成分近于大洋二辉橄榄岩;铜花山的超镁铁岩叠加碳酸岩化,LREE强烈富集,可能经历了俯冲洋壳流体改造。熔岩类在榆树沟和铜花山均有较大规模产出,其中榆树沟玄武岩为主,铜花山安山岩和英安岩较多。熔岩多已遭受绿片岩相海底热液蚀变。榆树沟玄武岩的REE含量总体比铜花山的低,稀土配分模式均为轻稀土富集型;玄武岩的微量元素特征表明其源区可能遭受过流体作用影响。铜花山三个高镁火山岩化学成份具有SiO₂(32%~36%)含量很低、MgO(20.12%~28.50%)含量高、K₂O+Na₂O(0.06%~0.46%)含量小于2%的特征,综合分析可归为苦橄岩类。堆晶岩通常以构造小岩块产在超镁铁岩块中或基性熔岩中,以辉长岩为主,有少量橄榄辉石岩等,岩石蚀变、构造变形强烈。堆晶岩的成分接近玄武岩,存在LREE富集和略亏损平坦两种类型。岩石地球化学特征表明榆树沟和铜花山的蛇绿岩形成于MOR构造环境,但具有受俯冲带流体改造特征,并伴生有岛弧火山岩。     

新疆北天山奎屯河蛇绿岩斜长花岗岩锆石SIMS U-Pb年龄及其构造意义

作为中亚造山带南部的最终缝合界线,天山-索伦缝合带记录了古亚洲洋晚期的扩张消减历史。本文对新疆北天山混杂带中奎屯河蛇绿岩的斜长花岗岩进行了SIMS锆石年代学研究及地球化学研究。斜长花岗岩富Na₂O,贫K₂O(<1%)和Al₂O₃(<15%),微量元素含量整体低于标准N-MORB,稀土配分曲线平坦,无明显Eu异常,是典型的洋中脊斜长花岗岩,其结晶年龄代表准噶尔洋盆扩张时代。24组离子探针测年数据显示,斜长花岗岩加权平均年龄为343.1±2.7 Ma。结合区域地质研究,本文认为在晚古生代石炭纪,伴随着哈萨克斯坦山弯构造的逐渐形成,准噶尔洋盆持续扩张并向外俯冲于周缘地体之下,形成了东、西准噶尔洋内弧,以及天山和阿尔泰安第斯型陆缘弧。     

Subduction initiation in the Neo‐Tethys: constraints from counterclockwise P–T paths in amphibolite rocks of the Nagaland Ophiolite Complex,India

High‐P metamorphic rocks that are formed at the onset of oceanic subduction usually record a single cycle of subduction and exhumation along counterclockwise (CCW) P–T paths. Conceptual and thermo‐mechanical models, however, predict multiple burial–exhumation cycles, but direct observations of these from natural rocks are rare. In this study, we provide a new insight into this complexity of subduction channel dynamics from a fragment of Middle‐Late Jurassic Neo‐Tethys in the Nagaland Ophiolite Complex, northeastern India. Based on integrated textural, mineral compositional, metamorphic reaction history and geothermobarometric studies of a medium‐grade amphibolite tectonic unit within a serpentinite mélange, we establish two overprinting metamorphic cycles (M₁–M₂). These cycles with CCW P–T trajectories are part of a single tectonothermal event. We relate the M₁ metamorphic sequence to prograde burial and heating through greenschist and epidote blueschist facies to peak metamorphism, transitional between amphibolite and hornblende‐eclogite facies at 13.8 ± 2.6 kbar, 625 ± 45 °C (error 2σ values) and subsequent cooling and partial exhumation to greenschist facies. The M₂ metamorphic cycle reflects epidote blueschist facies prograde re‐burial of the partially exhumed M₁ cycle rocks to peak metamorphism at 14.4 ± 2 kbar, 540 ± 35 °C and their final exhumation to greenschist facies along a relatively cooler exhumation path. We interpret the M₁ metamorphism as the first evidence for initiation of subduction of the Neo‐Tethys from the eastern segment of the Indus‐Tsangpo suture zone. Reburial and final exhumation during M₂ are explained in terms of material transport in a large‐scale convective circulation system in the subduction channel as the latter evolves from a warm nascent to a cold and more mature stage of subduction. This Neo‐Tethys example suggests that multiple burial and exhumation cycles involving the first subducted oceanic crust may be more common than presently known.

赣东北蛇绿岩和张村岩群的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄及对江南造山带构造演化的讨论

本文对赣东北樟树墩蛇绿混杂岩中基性—超基性岩的地球化学分析表明,其中辉长岩具有MORB的地球化学特征,蛇纹岩强烈亏损各微量元素。辉长岩的锆石SHRIMP O同位素分析结果给出了非常均一的O同位素组成(5.12‰±0.62‰,2σ),与地幔锆石的O同位素组成(5.3‰±0.3‰)接近。这些地球化学特征和其形成于大洋环境吻合。锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年给出了辉长岩的形成年龄为1009±5 Ma(MSWD=1.15)。在作为赣东北蛇绿岩的围岩张村岩群中,选取凝灰岩样品进行的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年给出了833±10 Ma(MSWD=1.5)的形成年龄,表明蛇绿岩就位时代晚于833 Ma。结合前人的研究,本文指出赣东北蛇绿岩形成于中元古代末—新元古代初的大洋中脊环境,不同于皖南伏川蛇绿岩所代表的弧后小洋盆环境。这些新资料为华南区域大地构造演化研究提供了新的约束。     

Geochemistry and tectonic setting of mafic rocks from the Othris Ophiolite,Greece

We present new geochemical analyses of minerals and whole rocks for a suite of mafic rocks from the crustal section of the Othris Ophiolite in central Greece. The mafic rocks form three chemically distinct groups. Group 1 is characterized by N-MORB-type basalt and basaltic andesite with Na- and Ti-rich clinopyroxenes. These rocks show mild LREE depletion and no HFSE anomalies, consistent with moderate degrees (~15%) of anhydrous partial melting of depleted mantle followed by 30–50% crystal fractionation. Group 2 is represented by E-MORB-type basalt with clinopyroxenes with higher Ti contents than Group 1 basalts. Group 2 basalts also have higher concentrations of incompatible trace elements with slightly lower HREE contents than Group 1 basalts. These chemical features can be explained by ~10% partial melting of an enriched mantle source. Group 3 includes high MgO cumulates with Na- and Ti-poor clinopyroxene, forsteritic olivine, and Cr-rich spinel. The cumulates show strong depletion of HFSE, low HREE contents, and LREE enrichments. These rocks may have formed by olivine accumulation from boninitic magmas. The petrogenesis of the N-MORB-type basalts and basaltic andesites is in excellent agreement with the melting conditions inferred from the MOR-type peridotites in Othris. The occurrence of both N- and E-MORB-type lavas suggests that the mantle generating the lavas of the Othris Ophiolite must have been heterogeneous on a comparatively fine scale. Furthermore, the inferred parental magmas of the SSZ-type cumulates are broadly complementary to the SSZ-type peridotites found in Othris. These results suggest that the crustal section may be genetically related to the mantle section. In the Othris Ophiolite mafic rocks recording magmatic processes characteristic both of mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones occur within close spatial association. These observations are consistent with the formation of the Othris Ophiolite in the upper plate of a newly created intra-oceanic subduction zone.
