青海红沟地区哈曼大阪花岗岩体锆石LA-ICP-MS测年-对红沟铜矿床形成时代和成因的认识

哈曼大阪花岗岩体位于北祁连造山带-中祁连造山带接壤地带。结合阴极发光,对哈曼大阪花岗岩体花岗闪长岩中的锆石进行了LA-ICP-MSU-Pb同位素测年。获得单颗粒锆石的微区U-Pb年龄为478.8±1.2Ma。认为哈曼大阪花岗岩体形成时代为早奥陶世。获得的红沟铜矿直接赋矿围岩双峰式火山岩中基性火山岩的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素年龄为443.2±1.2Ma,认为红沟铜多金属矿床形成时代为晚奥陶世。因此,认为哈曼大阪花岗岩体与红沟铜矿没有成因上的联系。这一认识,对进一步深入研究祁连造山带陆缘裂谷环境的Cu多金属矿床的成矿时代及成因具有重要意义。     

SHRIMP zircon dating and Nd isotopic systematics of Palaeoproterozoic migmatitic orthogneisses in the Epupa Metamorphic Complex of northwestern Namibia

The Epupa Metamorphic Complex constitutes the southwestern margin of the Congo Craton and is exposed in a hilly to mountainous terrain of northwestern Namibia, bordering the Kunene River and extending into southern Angola. It consists predominantly of granitoid gneisses which are migmatized over large areas. This migmatization locally led to anatexis and produced crustal-melt granites such as the Otjitanda Granite. We have undertaken reconnaissance geochemical studies and single zircon U–Pb SHRIMP and Pb–Pb evaporation dating of rocks of the Epupa Complex. The granitoid gneisses, migmatites and anatectic melts are similar in composition and constitute a suite of metaluminous to peraluminous, calc-alkaline granitoids, predominantly with volcanic arc geochemical signatures. The zircon protolith ages for the orthogneisses range from 1861 ± 3 to 1758 ± 3 Ma. Anatexis in the migmatitic Epupa gneisses was dated from a melt patch at 1762 ± 4 Ma, and the anatectic Otjitanda Granite has a zircon age of 1757 ± 4 Ma. Migmatization and anatexis therefore occurred almost immediately after granitoid emplacement and date a widespread high-temperature Palaeoproterozoic event at ∼1760 Ma which has not been recorded elswhere in northern Namibia. The Nd isotopic systematics of all dated samples are surprisingly similar and suggest formation of the protolith from a source region that probably separated from the depleted mantle about 2.4–2.0 Ga ago. A major Archaean component in the source area is unlikely.     

赣北大湖塘地区昆山W-Mo-Cu矿床侵入岩锆石U-Pb、辉钼矿Re-Os年代学及地质意义

昆山W-Mo-Cu矿床地处赣北九岭矿集区南部,距大湖塘超大型钨矿床狮尾洞矿区仅3 km。矿床目前处于详查阶段,已探明钨达中型规模,同时伴生中型钼矿及小型铜矿,具有良好的找矿潜力。昆山矿床矿化样式较为单一,W-Mo-Cu矿体以石英脉形式产出,主要赋存在燕山期侵入岩顶部与新元古界双桥山群浅变质岩的外接触带,具有"上钨中钼下铜"的特点,明显区别于大湖塘矿床矿体主要产在燕山期侵入岩与晋宁期黑云母花岗闪长岩的内外接触带,具细脉浸染型白钨矿、热液爆破角砾岩型钨铜矿及石英脉型黑钨矿"三位一体"的矿化特征。本文在详细的野外地质调查基础上,对昆山W-Mo-Cu矿床的成岩成矿时代进行了详细研究,并探讨了其地质意义。利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb法获得矿区内呈岩株状产出的似斑状花岗岩的年龄为151.7±1.3 Ma,晚期花岗斑岩脉的年龄为136.6±2.5 Ma;利用辉钼矿Re-Os法,获得辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄和加权平均年龄分别为151.0±1.3 Ma和150.0±1.0 Ma,厘定矿床成矿时代为晚侏罗世,且与似斑状花岗岩有关。结合前人所得高精度成岩成矿年龄数据,认为赣北地区燕山期成岩成矿具多期性,可分为160~150 Ma(塔前、朱溪钨多金属矿床)、140 Ma(大湖塘钨多金属矿床)和125 Ma(香炉山钨矿),主要集中于150~140 Ma。晚侏罗世,华南地区全面进入岩石圈"伸展-减薄"的地球动力学背景,赣北地区燕山期成岩成矿可能与这一构造背景有关。昆山矿床具"上钨中钼下铜"的分带模式,其成因值得进一步研究。     

河北赞皇杂岩官都群碎屑沉积岩锆石SHRIMPU-Pb定年及其地质意义

新太古代—古元古代表壳岩系在华北克拉通广泛发育,在赞皇地区也出露有较典型的中低级变质的火山-沉积岩系,即从原赞皇群解体出来的官都群,其形成时代和成因目前仍有争议。官都群的主要岩石组合为变基性火山岩(包括角闪片岩和斜长角闪岩)、大理岩、石英片岩,以及一系列长英质副片麻岩等。对其中的长英质副片麻岩进行碎屑锆石定年研究,并结合前人已报道的碎屑锆石数据可知,碎屑锆石年龄主要峰值约为2.5Ga,部分样品出现2.0～2.2Ga的峰值。变质锆石记录主要有2个范围,分别为2.48Ga左右和1.85～1.9Ga,可能代表了2期不同的构造热事件记录。结合该地区近年来的研究,可以得到如下认识:(1)样品中存在形态完好的长柱状锆石,表明是近源沉积;(2)约2.48Ga的变质记录与核部岩浆锆石的年龄(约2.5Ga)非常接近,可能代表了物源区中酸性岩体侵位后遭受的一次构造热事件,而不代表沉积岩形成后遭受变质的记录,即沉积过程晚于2.48Ga;(3)官都群至少有一部分岩石组合形成于古元古代;(4)官都群可能是不同时代、不同岩性单元拼贴而成,需要进一步解体。

西藏曲水县达布斑岩铜(钼)矿床成岩成矿年代学研究

本文采用锆石LA-ICP-MS微区U-Pb测年技术,对冈底斯成矿带东段曲水县达布斑岩Cu(Mo)矿床北部达布矿区含矿斑岩体、南部显角囊含矿花岗闪长斑岩岩体进行了年代学研究,通过对3件岩体样品中单颗粒锆石的分析,达布主矿体花岗闪长斑岩样品206Pb/238U年龄加权平均值为16.5±0.05Ma(n=15,MSWD=3),达布主含矿体二长花岗斑岩样品年龄为16.1±0.13Ma(n=15,MSWD=1.03),南部显角囊矿体花岗闪长斑岩年龄为16.2±0.04Ma(n=13,MSWD=0.0064)。对达布矿床斑岩Cu(Mo)矿床主矿体中4件辉钼矿样品,显角囊矿体中6件辉钼矿样品,分别进行了Re-Os同位素测试,等时线年龄分别为14.6±0.50Ma(MSWD=0.35,主矿体)、14.8±0.23Ma(MSWD=1.3,显角囊)。结合前人研究以及本次测年结果认为:1)达布斑岩铜(钼)矿床岩体侵位的年龄应限定在16Ma左右,成矿时代为14Ma左右,成矿时间差小于0.86Ma,与区域上"成矿瞬时发生"的成矿规律是一致的;2)矿床产出于印度-亚洲大陆板块后碰撞伸展环境。     

内蒙古东乌旗巴彦都兰铜矿床地质和地球化学特征及其意义

内蒙古巴彦都兰铜矿床位于二连—东乌旗成矿带,该矿区出露下泥盆统泥鳅河组粉砂岩和海西中期黑云母花岗岩体,铜矿体呈脉状产出于泥鳅河组粉砂岩中,严格受断裂控制。主要金属矿物为黄铁矿、磁黄铁矿、黄铜矿等,脉石矿物主要为石英和碳酸盐岩等。矿区黑云母花岗岩La-ICP-MS锆石~(206)Pb/~(238) U加权平均年龄为303.5 Ma±1.1 Ma,铜矿床属于晚古生代构造-岩浆作用的产物。岩石地球化学特征反映黑云母花岗岩属准铝质-弱过铝质高钾钙碱性系列,A/CNK值介于0.99~1.04之间,高碱(w(K_2O+Na_2O)=7.36%~8.73%),富钾(w(K_2O)/w(Na_2O)=1.08~1.66),其形成具有岛弧或后碰撞环境I型花岗岩特征;微量元素特征显示岩体可能形成于后碰撞伸展阶段早期的构造环境中。黄铜矿硫同位素组成介于0.1×10~(-3)~2.1×10~(-3)之间,反映成矿所需的硫可能来自于岩浆,巴彦都兰铜矿区花岗岩很可能是成矿硫的提供者。     

Holocene rockfalls in the southern Negev Desert,Israel and their relation to Dead Sea fault earthquakes

Rockfall ages in tectonically active regions provide information regarding frequency and magnitude of earthquakes. In the hyper-arid environment of the Dead Sea fault (DSF), southern Israel, rockfalls are most probably triggered by earthquakes. We dated rockfalls along the western margin of the DSF using terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides (TCN). At each rockfall site, samples were collected from simultaneously exposed conjugate boulders and cliff surfaces. Such conjugate samples initially had identical pre-fall (“inherited”) TCN concentrations. After boulder detachment, these surfaces were dosed by different production rates due to differences in post-fall shielding and geometry. However, in our study area, pre-rockfall inheritance and post-rockfall production rates of TCN cannot be evaluated. Therefore, we developed a numerical approach and demonstrated a way to overcome the above-mentioned problems. This approach can be applied in other settings where rockfalls cannot be dated by simple exposure dating. Results suggest rockfall ages between 3.6 ± 0.8 and 4.7 ± 0.7 ka. OSL ages of sediment accumulated behind the boulders range between 0.6 ± 0.1 and 3.4 ± 1.4 ka and support the TCN results. Our ages agree with dated earthquakes determined in paleoseismic studies along the entire length of the DSF and support the observation of intensive earthquake activity around 4–5 ka.     

Ar–Ar age determinations of eclogitic clinopyroxene and garnet inclusions in diamonds from the Venetia and Orapa kimberlites

Ar–Ar age measurements are reported for selected eclogitic clinopyroxene and garnet inclusions in Orapa diamonds and clinopyroxene inclusions in Venetia diamonds. Laser drilling of encapsulated clinopyroxene inclusions within Venetia diamonds released a maximum of 3% of the total ⁴⁰Ar, indicating little diffusive transfer and storage of radiogenic ⁴⁰Ar at the diamond–inclusion boundary. Apparent ages obtained during stepped heating of three diamonds are consistent with diamond crystallisation occurring just prior to the kimberlite eruption 520 Ma ago. Stepped heating of three clinopyroxene-bearing Orapa diamonds gave ages of 906–1032 Ma, significantly above the eruption age, but consistent with previously determined isotopic ages. A few higher apparent ages hint at the presence an older generation of Orapa diamonds that formed >2500 Ma ago. Orapa garnets also contain measurable K contents, and record a range of ages between 1000 and 2500 Ma. The old apparent ages and lack of significant interface ⁴⁰Ar released by the laser probe, suggests that pre-eruption radiogenic ⁴⁰Ar and mantle-derived ⁴⁰Ar components are trapped in microinclusions within the pyroxene and garnet inclusions.     

难熔元素和代表性放射性同位素体系分析技术的进展、问题和应用展望

Pt-Os、Re-Os和Hf-W同位素体系的母体和子体Pt、Os、Re、Hf和W以及其它铂族元素（PGE）化学性质上都是难熔的,我们将这些元素和相关同位素称为难熔元素和难熔元素放射性同位素体系。难熔元素及其放射性同位素体系不仅可以直接测定金属矿床、油气藏和沉积岩系的年龄,而且还可以有效示踪地球深部的核幔反应等过程,这是其它地球化学工具不可替代的。本文评述了当前Pt-Os、Re-Os和Hf-W同位素体系和PGE元素分析技术的研究进展,指出：（1）目前Re-Os同位素定年误差仍较大,迫切需要优化改进分析技术,大幅提高Re-Os同位素定年的准确度和成功率;（2）Pt-Re-Os和W同位素的分析技术需要简化繁琐的化学分离流程和提高仪器分析的效率,同时探索建立新的化学分离和仪器分析方法,进一步提高分析精度,实现对更低Pt、Re、Os和W含量样品的准确分析,才能更有效地示踪地球深部物质循环过程;（3）PGE的元素分析技术尚需改进,分析精度仍需要进一步提升。我们预期随着进一步提升难熔元素和代表性放射性同位素的分析精度,显著降低同位素定年误差,其将在核-幔、幔-幔和壳-幔物质循环过程示踪、金属矿床精细定年和成因机制、复杂含油气系统的定年和示踪以及中元古代环境变化等研究中得到更广泛的应用。
