使用SHRIMP测定锆石铀-铅年龄的选点技巧

应用离子探针SHRIMP测定锆石铀-铅年龄时,锆石选点至关重要,它将直接影响实验结果的可靠性和准确性。透射光、反射光图像及阴极发光图像是锆石选点的重要依据,透射光和反射光图像反映了锆石表面及内部裂隙、包体的发育程度;阴极发光图像可以提供锆石成因类型及相应岩体经历的演化历史等信息。文章归纳了单一成因锆石、核边类型锆石、单一成因的年轻锆石选点的技巧,包括:在测定锆石铀-铅年龄之前,根据透反射光图像及阴极发光图像,研究锆石的显微结构,初步判断锆石的成因;在进行锆石测年选点过程中,根据阴极发光图像确定需要分析的锆石及分析位置,选择其中比较干净的位置进行测试,避开裂纹或包裹体等杂质,确定最佳的分析位置;在测定具有单一成因、铀含量很低的年轻锆石时,选择在阴极发光较暗的位置进行测试,有利于得到误差小、精度更高的数据年龄。     

浙江横山组的时代和区域地层对比

浙江横山组被认为与寿昌组上段呈整合接触而归入建德群,由于生物化石稀少,又无年龄资料,因而地层时代和层位认识分歧较大。对寿昌盆地横山组与寿昌组之间的接触关系作了重新研究,证实是假整合而不是整合。在兰溪墩头盆地、淳安甘坞盆地以及常山朱村盆地,横山组均假整合或不整合覆于老地层上,在墩头盆地横山组下部发现大量永康馆头组中常见的...

Re–Os and U–Pb Geochronology of the Erlihe Pb–Zn Deposit, Qinling Orogenic Belt, Central China, and Constraints on Its Deposit Genesis

The Erlihe Pb–Zn deposit is an important mine of the Pb–Zn metallogenic zone in the South Qinling Orogen. It has been considered a sedimentary exhalative deposit in previous investigations because the ore body occurs concordantly at the transitional location of an upright fold. Re and Os isotopic analyses for paragenetic pyrites with sphalerite and galena from the ore body have been used to determine the timing of mineralization and to trace the source of metallogenic materials. The Re–Os isotopic data of four pyrite samples construct an isochron, yielding a weighted average age of 226±17 Ma (mean square weighted deviation=1.7), which is considered the main mineralization age. A dioritic porphyrite vein sample, showing weaker mineralization, was also dated using the SHRIMP zircon U–Pb isotopic method to constrain the youngest metallogenic age of the ore deposit, because it distributes along a group of tensional joints cutting not only the upright fold in the deposit field, but also the main ore bodies. The dioritic porphyrite sample yields a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 221±3 Ma, which is slightly younger than the Re–Os isotopic isochron age of the pyrites, considered as the upper age limit of the mineralization, namely the ending age of the mineralization. The Os isotopic compositions of sulfide minerals distribute within a range between Os isotopic compositions of the crust and the mantle, indicating that the ore deposit can be derived from magma-related fluid, and the metallogenic materials are most likely derived from the mixing source of the crust and the mantle. The Erlihe Pb–Zn deposit and associated dioritic porphyrite vein, important records of Qinling tectonic–magmatism–mineralization activities, were formed during the Triassic collisional orogeny processes.

Associated terrestrial and marine fossils in the late-glacial Presumpscot Formation, southern Maine, USA, and the marine reservoir effect on radiocarbon ages

Excavations in the late-glacial Presumpscot Formation at Portland, Maine, uncovered tree remains and other terrestrial organics associated with marine invertebrate shells in a landslide deposit. Buds of Populus balsamifera (balsam poplar) occurred with twigs of Picea glauca (white spruce) in the Presumpscot clay. Tree rings in Picea logs indicate that the trees all died during winter dormancy in the same year. Ring widths show patterns of variation indicating responses to environmental changes. Fossil mosses and insects represent a variety of species and wet to dry microsites. The late-glacial environment at the site was similar to that of today's Maine coast. Radiocarbon ages of 14 tree samples are 11,907 ± 31 to 11,650 ± 50 ¹⁴C yr BP. Wiggle matching of dated tree-ring segments to radiocarbon calibration data sets dates the landslide occurrence at ca. 13,520 + 95/−20 cal yr BP. Ages of shells juxtaposed with the logs are 12,850 ± 65 ¹⁴C yr BP (Mytilus edulis) and 12,800 ± 55 ¹⁴C yr BP (Balanus sp.), indicating a marine reservoir age of about 1000 yr. Using this value to correct previously published radiocarbon ages reduces the discrepancy between the Maine deglaciation chronology and the varve-based chronology elsewhere in New England.     

鲁西沂南铜井闪长质岩体锆石U-Pb年龄、元素及同位素地球化学特征

对鲁西沂南铜井岩体的中生代闪长玢岩进行了主量元素、微量及稀土元素、Sr-Nd-Pb同位素以及锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素研究,结果表明,铜井闪长玢岩SiO2含量为54.68%～63.01%,富Na,Na2O/K2O为0.93～4.46,Mg#较高,为55～66,为中钾-高钾钙碱性系列,TiO2含量较低,0.2%～0.71%。样品具有显著的LREE富集[(La/Yb)n=10～15]以及高场强元素Nb、Ta和Ti的负异常,Eu基本无异常,Sr、Ba含量高(分别为241×10-6～711×10-6和554×10-6～822×10-6)的特征。ISr和εNd(t)值分别为0.706473～0.708867和-15.13～-9.18,与鲁西方城玄武岩和前人所研究的沂南辉长岩结果有所差异,显示其源区具有多端员混合特征,除了富集岩石圈地幔外,亏损地幔和地壳物质的贡献也很重要,Pb同位素也显示其源区有扬子克拉通物质的贡献,佐证了华北克拉通中生代富集岩石圈地幔的形成与扬子克拉通的俯冲有关。闪长岩中锆石具有典型的岩浆锆石特征,U-Pb年龄为128～129Ma,锆石εHf(t)值主要在-13～-8(平均值为-10.3)范围内,暗示了岩浆来源于富集岩石圈地幔,但受到亏损地幔物质的混染。沂南铜井闪长玢岩岩浆源区的多元性以及亏损地幔物质参与程度的逐渐增强,说明该地区中生代岩石圈减薄已达到最大,岩浆源区的差异可能也是该地区与胶东地区成矿性差异的主要原因之一。     

黑龙江穆棱地区宝石级锆石成因探讨

利用基本的宝石学方法、紫外可见光分光光度计、红外光谱仪、激光拉曼探针和激光剥蚀等离子质谱技术(LA-ICP-MS)分析了黑龙江穆棱玄武岩风化冲积物中宝石级锆石的宝石学性质、谱学特征、包裹体特征、微量元素组成及U-Pb年龄。宝石学性质表明锆石为优质的、可直接加工利用的宝石原料;谱学特征显示锆石为未经历后期改造的高型岩浆锆石,且含有磷灰石、锆石和赤铁矿包裹体;LA-ICP-MS分析表明锆石具有明显的Ce正异常,富集重稀土元素[(Yb/Sm)N=21～63)]和HFSE元素,Th/U均大于1(1个数据例外);ΣREE较高,含量在1765×10-6～2374×10-6,与基性锆石相似;明显的Ce异常和赤铁矿包裹体说明锆石形成于氧化环境;根据Ti-in-Zircon地质温度计计算,锆石结晶的最低温度为646～737℃;U-Pb年龄为9.39±0.4Ma代表锆石的结晶年龄。基于本实验数据和前人研究成果,认为锆石巨晶形成于富集CO2的氧化环境并且与地幔的交代作用有关,是岩石圈减薄作用发展到一定阶段(衰退期)的产物。
