Ages,Sources and Tectonic Settings of the Triassic Igneous Rocks in the Easternmost Segment of the East Kunlun Orogen,Central China

U–Pb analysis of zircons from igneous rocks in the Elashan Mountain, easternmost segment of the East Kunlun Orogen yielded 252–232 Ma. Geochemically, these rocks are mainly high in SiO_2, K_2O and K_2O+Na_2O contents, low in P_2O_5 and TiO_2 contents, depleted in Ba, Sr, P, Ti and enriched in U, Hf, Zr, showing features of I–type granite. The zircon εHf(t) values of the Early Triassic Jiamuge'er rhyolite porphyry(252±3 Ma) are positive(+1.6 to +12.1), suggesting a juvenile crustal source mixing with little old crustal component, and the zircon εHf(t) values of the Middle Triassic Manzhang'gang granodiorite(244±3 Ma) and Dehailong diorite(237±3 Ma) are predominately negative(-8.4 to +1.0), indicating an older crustal source. In comparison, the zircon εHf(t) values of the Late Triassic syenogranites from Suigen'ergang(234±2Ma), Ge'ermugang(233±2 Ma) and Yue'ergen(232±3 Ma) plutons vary from-3.8 to +5.0, suggesting a crust-mantle mixing source. From Early–Middle Triassic(252–237 Ma) to Late Triassic(234–232 Ma), the geochemical characteristics of these rocks show the change from a subduction–collision setting to a post-collision or within-plate setting. By comparing of these new age data with 77 zircon U–Pb ages of igneous rocks of the eastern part of East Kunlun orogen from published literatures, we conclude that the igneous rocks of Elashan Mountain and these of the eastern part of East Kunlun Orogen belong to one magmatic belt. All these data indicate that the Triassic magmatic events of the eastern part of East Kunlun Orogen can be divided into three stages: 252–238 Ma, 238–226 Ma and 226–212 Ma. Statistically, the average εHf(t) values of the threestage igneous rocks show a tendency, from the old to young, from-0.75±0.25 to lower-2.65±0.52 and then to-1.22±0.25, respectively, which reveal the change of their sources. These characteristics can be explained as a crust-mantle mixing source generated in a subductional stage, mainly crust source in a syn–collisional stage and a crust-mantle mixing source(lower crust with mantle-derived underplating magma) in a post-collisional stage. The identification of these three magmatic events in the Elashan Mountain, including all the eastern part of East Kunlun Orogen, provides new evidence for better understanding of the tectonic evolution of the northward subduction and closure of the Paleo-Tethyan(252–238 Ma), the collision of the Songpan–Ganzi block with the southern margin of Qaidam block(238–226 Ma), and the post–collisional setting(226–212 Ma) during the Early Mesozoic period.     

Genesis of the Bangbu Orogenic Gold Deposit,Tibet: Evidence from Fluid Inclusion,Stable Isotopes,and Ar-Ar Geochronology

The Bangbu gold deposit is a large orogenic gold deposit in Tibet formed during the AlpineHimalayan collision. Ore bodies(auriferous quartz veins) are controlled by the E-W-trending Qusong-Cuogu-Zhemulang brittle-ductile shear zone. Quartz veins at the deposit can be divided into three types: pre-metallogenic hook-like quartz veins, metallogenic auriferous quartz veins, and postmetallogenic N-S quartz veins. Four stages of mineralization in the auriferous quartz veins have been identified:(1) Stage S1 quartz+coarse-grained sulfides,(2) Stage S2 gold+fine-grained sulfides,(3) Stage S3 quartz+carbonates, and(4) Stage S4 quartz+ greigite. Fluid inclusions indicate the oreforming fluid was CO_2-N_2-CH_4 rich with homogenization temperatures of 170–261°C, salinities 4.34–7.45 wt% Na Cl equivalent. δ~(18)Ofluid(3.98‰–7.18‰) and low δDV-SMOW(-90‰ to-44‰) for auriferous quartz veins suggest ore-forming fluids were mainly metamorphic in origin, with some addition of organic matter. Quartz vein pyrite has δ~(34)SV-CDT values of 1.2‰–3.6‰(an average of 2.2‰), whereas pyrite from phyllite has δ~(34)SV-CDT 5.7‰–9.9‰(an average of 7.4‰). Quartz vein pyrites yield 206Pb/204 Pb ratios of 18.662–18.764, 207Pb/204 Pb 15.650–15.683, and ~(208)Pb/204 Pb 38.901–39.079. These isotopic data indicate Bangbu ore-forming materials were probably derived from the Langjiexue accretionary wedge. 40Ar/39 Ar ages for sericite from auriferous sulfide-quartz veins yield a plateau age of 49.52 ± 0.52 Ma, an isochron age of 50.3 ± 0.31 Ma, suggesting that auriferous veins were formed during the main collisional period of the Tibet-Himalayan orogen(~65–41 Ma).     

Tectonic Framework of Late Paleozoic Intrusions in Xingxingxia: Implications for Final Closure of South Tianshan Ocean in East Tianshan

This work carried out systematic geological field investigation, petrography observation, zircon geochronology and whole rock geochemistry on Late Paleozoic intrusions in the Xingxingxia region near the Xinjiang-Gansu provincial boundary, western China, aiming to constrain the Late Paleozoic tectonic framework of the Xingxingxia region and the final closure time of South Tianshan Ocean in the East Tianshan. The Xingxingxia area is located in the east part of the Tianshan orogen, and adjacent to the north of the Tarim Basin. The Late Paleozoic magma activities in the Xingxingxia region can be mainly divided into three stages. The first stage includes intrusive magma activities under a collision setting between Late Ordovician to the Late Devonian. The second stage is intrusive magma activities under a subduction setting during(304±3)–(278±3) Ma, and the third stage involves intrusive magma activities under a collision and post-collision setting during(268±5)–(259.9±2.6) Ma. The final suture zone of South Tianshan Ocean should be between the Central Tianshan Block and South Tianshan accretionary complex. Based on previous work, both the first stage magma activities(i.e., intrusive magmatic activities between the Late Ordovician to Late Devonian) and the Hongliuhe ophiolitic complex indicate a close event between Central Tianshan Block and South Tianshan Accretionary Complex. The 304±3 Ma dioritic metamorphic gneiss of the XingX ingxia complex and the 278±3 Ma diorite are all island arc calc-alkaline rocks, the 289±3 Ma gabbro is island arc tholeiitic gabbro formed by magma from metasomatic enrichment mantle. All these results indicate that the second stage of magmatic activities is under a subduction setting. The third stage magma activities i.e. the granitic magma activities of(268±5)–(259.9±2.6) Ma occurred at a transitional setting from compressional to post-collision extensional tectonic setting. Thus, around(268±5)–(260±3) Ma, the final closure of the South Tianshan Ocean occurred and the Tianshan orogen shifted into the intracontinental evolution stage. During and after the closure process, a wide range of metamorphism and large dextral strike-slip faults developed.     

赣东北蛇绿岩带新元古代(~800Ma)高镁安山岩的发现及其意义

在赣东北蛇绿岩带中的樟树墩地区新发现新元古代高镁安山岩,其LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb法年龄为794.8±6.0 Ma。它们的Si O2介于54.90%~58.45%,Al2O3介于15.31%~16.77%(平均小于16%);Ca O为2.46%~6.73%,Fe OT/Mg O变化于0.87~1.20,具有高Mg O(6.39%~8.76%)、高Mg#(64~71)特点;富集轻稀土元素且具弱负Eu异常,明显富集LILE而亏损HFSE,Sr含量(普遍200×10-6)和Sr/Y比值(4.11~7.29)均较低,具有典型高镁安山岩的地球化学特征,类似于日本Setouchi火山带的Sanukitoids。锆石εHf(t)值介于10.23~17.79之间,反映它们起源于亏损地幔。主、微量及同位素特征均表明,本区高镁安山岩是被俯冲板片释放的含水流体交代的地幔楔部分熔融的产物,形成于大洋岛弧(洋内弧)环境,指示赣东北地区在约800Ma前时仍存在洋壳俯冲,双溪坞弧尚未增生到扬子东南缘,暗示扬子和华夏两大陆块此时尚未碰撞拼合。     

新疆西天山达巴特斑岩铜钼矿床成矿流体演化

新疆达巴特铜钼矿床位于天山造山带的北缘,赛里木地块的中部,成矿与晚石炭世-早二叠世浅成侵入体有关。对该矿床详细的矿石组构、流体包裹体显微测温和激光拉曼光谱分析揭示,其流体成矿先后经历了辉钼矿-黄铜矿-石英脉(Ⅰ)、无矿石英脉(Ⅱ)、辉钼矿-石英脉(Ⅲ)和方解石-石英脉(Ⅳ)等4个阶段。从早到晚不同阶段,包裹体均一温度集中分布在336~414℃、276~393℃、221~396℃、192~287℃,盐度为(4.5~9.9)%Na Cleq、(1.6~8.4)%Na Cleq、(1.2~45.6)%Na Cleq、(1.6~7.5)%Na Cleq,密度为0.57~0.76 g/cm3、0.54~0.80 g/cm3、0.51~1.11 g/cm3、0.76~0.91 g/cm3,随成矿流体温度、盐度降低,密度渐升,还原性增强。Ⅰ、Ⅲ阶段都发育矿化,包裹体具有明显的沸腾特征,且气相成分中均发现CO2,表明Ⅰ和Ⅲ阶段的流体沸腾可能导致金属沉淀,且CO2对金属运移可能具有重要作用。压力估算得到达巴特矿床Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ阶段脉体的成矿深度分别为0.5~1.1 km、0.3~1.0 km、0.5~1.0km、0.4~1.0km。矿体矿石、围岩蚀变和流体包裹体具有斑岩型矿床的特点。结合前人资料,认为达巴特为一典型斑岩型矿床。     

新疆卡特巴阿苏金铜矿床地质特征及构造环境

新疆卡特巴阿苏金铜矿床位于新疆西天山那拉提构造带的北缘,主要赋存于晚泥盆世二长花岗岩之中。推测富矿二长花岗岩形成于俯冲-碰撞-造山的构造环境,可能是以下动力过程的产物:伊犁中天山南缘地壳解体,地幔物质强烈加入形成的新生南天山洋壳,向北沿那拉提构造带俯冲,部分熔融后在碰撞-造山晚期于晚泥盆世侵入,且与海西运动早期的地质事件关系密切。成矿年龄推测为二叠纪,与成岩年龄相差约91Ma,所以成矿物质应该不是来源于二长花岗岩。从成矿构造与矿体关系及矿石结构构造特征来看该矿受到断裂和节理裂隙系统的联合控制,且在成矿期经历了一次先挤后张的地质构造事件。结合区域构造演化,推测此次地质构造事件应该与二叠纪塔里木地台北缘一带发生的裂谷引张作用有关。     

秦岭造山带与渭河地堑地电结构研究

秦岭造山带作为典型的陆内复合造山带,发生过强烈的构造变形,与北部的渭河地堑形成独具特色的盆山构造体系,目前其深部结构状态与盆山耦合响应缺乏深层动力学过程的理解,为此以跨越秦岭造山带、渭河地堑布设一条170 km的大地电磁测深剖面,通过宽频带和长周期大地电磁观测,构建秦岭造山带和渭河地堑深部地电结构,研究结果表明:1)秦岭造山带存在多重叠置的巨厚岩石圈,南秦岭与北秦岭地壳尺度存在明显的结构化差异; 2)扬子地块向北楔入到南秦岭岩石圈地幔中,南、北秦岭之间在上地幔存在低阻条带痕迹表明了楔入作用的前缘位置; 3)渭河地堑存在巨厚的沉积盖层,厚度由南向北逐渐减薄,由南侧的7~8 km减到北侧的3~4 km。渭河地堑下地壳至上地幔区域分布的两个低阻块体表明其岩石圈存在明显的电性差异,这种差异性的存在表征了华北地块南向挤压作用背景下软流圈上涌的贡献。     

东天山红山Cu-Au矿床氧化带首次发现的副针绿矾巨晶及其多型针绿矾

一种艳丽的蓝紫色矿物巨晶在我国新疆哈密地区红山铜.金矿床氧化带中、上部大量出现,经详实的野外地质观察和室内测试,如X-射线单晶及粉晶衍射测定、湿法化学分析、热分析、穆斯堡尔谱和红外光谱测试等,确认其为一罕见硫酸盐矿物-副针绿矾(Paracoquimbite,Fe2(So4)3·9H2O),是继智利丘基卡马塔巨型宽岩铜矿区1935年报道后,在世界上的又一次发现,在我国尚属首次.该矿物晶体如此之硕大(单晶粒度可达8cm～12cm),远大于智利首次发现的晶体(1.95cm),在国内外和自然界亦堪称首例,与副针绿矾密切共生者为针绿矾,二者呈多型关系.本文副针绿矾湿法化学分析结果为(wt%):SO3 42.55,Fe2O3 28.19,H8O 28.72,CaO 0.02,MgO 0.01,AL2O3 0.03,Na2O 0.02,总计99.54,其XRD特征谱线为:4.61(100),8.89(83),3.38(67);针绿矾湿法化学分析结果为(wt%):SO,3 42.31,Fe2O3 28.61,H2O 28.98,MgO 0.01,Al2O30.01,总计99.92,其XRD特征谱线为:8.27(100),5.46(76),2.77(76).红外光谱分析判定了不同基团及同一种基团在不同结构环境下振动模式或频率的差别.穆斯堡尔谱分析确定了副针绿矾和针绿矾中铁的氧化态、配位数以及结构中存在共价键(霄键).其穆斯堡尔谱共有特征是四极矩分裂值较小,均由单一吸收峰组成.各种实验分析数据完全吻合,保证了副针绿矾和针绿矾研究的准确性和可靠性.在同一标本上连续切片,通过连续系统的电子探针分析,对针绿矾与副针绿矾互为多型的成因机理做了初步探讨.红山矿区氧化带中除与该矿物副针绿矾共生者外,尚有其它多种硫酸盐矿物亦为我国首次发现.目前上述诸多矿物已作为湿法冶铜及制酸工业的新型资源,副针绿矾巨大晶体的发现兼有一定的实用价值和收藏价值.     

大陆碰撞造山带的流体成分与演化:东喜马拉雅构造结南迦巴瓦岩群高压麻粒岩的流体包裹体研究

位于喜马拉雅东构造结的南迦巴瓦岩群经历了高压麻粒岩相、中压麻粒岩相和角闪岩相三期变质作用.在高压麻粒岩中含有复杂的流体包裹体类型,按照捕获先后顺序有:H2O-CO2±CH4包裹体(Ⅰ型);CO2±CH4±N2包裹体(Ⅱ型);高盐度多相包裹体(Ш型);中.低盐度H2O包裹体(Ⅳ型)和极低密度气体包裹体或"空"包裹体(Ⅴ型).在基性麻粒岩中,被石榴石包裹石英中孤立分布的H2O-CO2 4-CH4包裹体,以及部分沿石榴石晶内裂隙分布的H2-CO2±CH4和H2O包裹体轨迹未穿过围绕石榴石的辉石 斜长石后成合晶冠状体,表明它们有可能是在麻粒岩相变质阶段捕获的.然而,所有流体包裹体的等容线均从麻粒岩相变质峰期P-T区间下方通过,说明麻粒岩相变质峰期捕获的包裹体均受到了不同程度的改造,包括部分爆裂、渗漏和流体-矿物相互作用等.现存的富CO2流体包裹体均具有较低密度,并且往往含有明显数量CH4和N2组分,不可能是麻粒岩相变质峰期捕获的包裹体.根据富CO2包裹体与具有不同相比的H2-CO2包裹体共存推测,大部分CO2包裹体是通过H2O-CO2包裹体中H2O的选择性泄漏而形成的.Ⅲ型高盐度盐水包裹体很可能是角闪岩相退变质过程中捕获的,因其等容线与退变质轨迹近于平行,这些包裹体很可能保存了其在角闪岩相阶段捕获时的原生物理化学特征.沿矿物颗粒裂隙分布的大量Ⅳ型和Ⅴ型包裹体,应该是角闪岩相或更晚期形成的次生包裹体,代表了浅成(近地表)环境的循环流体.与世界许多地区麻粒岩相岩石普遍舍高密度纯CO2流体包裹体不同,南迦巴瓦岩群高压麻粒岩以富含H2O-CO4±CH4和H2O包裹体为特征,这可能与高压麻粒岩与高温麻粒岩产出于不同的构造环境和经历的退变质轨迹有关.     

北大别早白垩纪花岗岩类的Sm-Nd和锆石Hf同位素及其构造意义

大别造山带产出两期早白垩纪造山后花岗岩类:早期(≈132Ma)变形的角闪石英二长岩和斑状二长花岗岩具高钾的类埃达克岩的地球化学特征,形成于增厚地壳(>50km)的下地壳部分熔融;晚期(≈128Ma)未变形的花岗岩包括细粒二长花岗岩和钾长花岗(斑)岩,属于正常安山岩-英安岩-流纹岩系列岩石,它们形成于相对薄的地壳(<35km)的下地壳部分熔融。早期变形的花岗岩类中,角闪石英二长岩的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.7066～0.7076,ε_(Nd)(t)=-20.3～-27.8,类似于扬子下地壳基性麻粒岩的Sr-Nd同位素特征,其中白垩纪岩浆锆石(≈132Ma)Hf同位素初始比值(ε_(Hf)(t))和两阶段Hf模式年龄(t_(DM2))分别为-29.30.5和303065Ma;我们认为角闪石英二长岩源于锆石Hf模式年龄约3.0Ga的基性下地壳部分熔融。早期斑状二长花岗岩的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.7078～0.7083,ε_(Nd)(t)=-15.8～-20.0,类似于北大别英云闪长质-花岗质片麻岩的Sr-Nd同位素特征,其白垩纪岩浆锆石(≈132Ma)的ε_(Hf)(t)和t_(DM2)分别为-24.80.5和274434Ma。我们认为宽状二长花岗岩源于约2.7Ga的中酸性下地壳部分熔融。晚期未变形的花岗岩的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i=0.7069～0.7105,ε_(Nd)(t)=-16.4～-22.1,类似于北大别英云闪长质-花岗质片麻岩的Sr-Nd同位素特征;其白垩纪岩浆锆石(≈128Ma)的ε_(Hf)(t)具有较大的变化范围(-25.2～7.4),主要峰值为-22.5±0.5,次要峰值为-16.3±0.7,并有少量正的ε_(Hf)(t)值5.8～7.4,与ε_(Hf)(t)值对应的t_(DM2)分别为2600±40Ma、2211±68Ma和743±130Ma。我们认为晚期未变形的花岗岩源于锆石Hf模式年龄约2.6～2.2Ga的中酸性下地壳部分熔融,源区夹杂新元古代新生的陆壳。在大别造山带垮塌之前(>132Ma),增厚地壳(>50km)的下地壳存在双层结构:锆石Hf模式年龄约为3.0Ga的基性下地壳基底和约2.7Ga的中酸性(英云闪长质-花岗质)上部下地壳.在大别造山带伸展垮塌的晚期阶段(≈128Ma),减薄的下地壳(<35km)主要为锆石Hf模式年龄约2.6～2.2Ga的中酸性(英云闪长质-花岗质)岩石,并夹杂少量新元古代Rodinia超大陆裂解时形成的新生陆壳。
