Time-scales of assembly and thermal history of a composite felsic pluton: constraints from the Emerald Lake area, northern Canadian Cordillera, Yukon

Knowledge of the time-scales of emplacement and thermal history during assembly of composite felsic plutons in the shallow crust are critical to deciphering the processes of crustal growth and magma chamber development. Detailed petrological and chemical study of the mid-Cretaceous, composite Emerald Lake pluton, from the northern Canadian Cordillera, Yukon Territory, coupled with U–Pb and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronology, indicates that this pluton was intruded as a series of magmatic pulses. Intrusion of these pulses produced a strong petrological zonation from augite syenite, hornblende quartz syenite and monzonite, to biotite granite. Our data further indicate that multiple phases were emplaced and cooled to below the mineral closure temperatures over a time-scale on the order of the resolution of the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar technique (1 Myr), and that emplacement occurred at 94.3 Ma. Simple thermal modelling and heat conduction calculations were used to further constrain the temporal relationships within the intrusion. These calculations are consistent with the geochronology and show that emplacement and cooling were complete in less than 100 kyr and probably 70±5 kyr. These results demonstrate that production, transport and emplacement of the different phases of the Emerald Lake pluton occurred essentially simultaneously, and that these processes must also have been closely related in time and space. By analogy, these results provide insights into the assembly and petrogenesis of other complex intrusions and ultimately lead to an understanding of the processes involved in crustal development.     

LA-ICPMS Zircon U-Pb Dating for Three Indosinian Granitic Plutons from Central Hunan and Western Guangdong Provinces and Its Petrogenetic Implications

1 Introduction Much attention has been paid to the structure, magmatism and sedimentation associated with the Indosinian Orogeny within the South China Block (SCB) since Deprat (1914) and Fromagat (1932) proposed the term “Indosinian movement” based on two unconformities between pre-Norian and pre-Rhaetian times during the early Triassic in Vietnam. However, this timing has been debated in terms of the Indosinian tectonic evolution within the SCB (Guo et al., 1983; Hsü et al., 1990…

应用热年代学方法,揭示了燕山南缘盘山岩体的热历史与隆升过程。结果表明,盘山岩体的侵位深度约为10km.岩体侵位以后,经历了快速冷却过程,在226.48Ma~204.95Ma期间,岩体温度由520℃冷却至300℃,平均降温速率为10.22℃/Ma.204.95Ma~118Ma期间为盘山岩体的缓缦隆升时期,平均隆升速率约为0.028mm/a,隆升幅度约2.5km.118Ma~96Ma为盘山岩体较快速隆升时期,隆升速率为0.035mm/a,隆升幅度约0.77km.96Ma~35Ma为盘山岩体与盘山山脉的快速隆升时期,隆升速率约为0.115mm/a,隆升总幅度达7km.35Ma以来,盘山岩体的隆升速率很小,仅约0.014mm/a,隆升幅度约为0.5km.盘山周缘环状构造系统的形成时代略早于226.48Ma,盘山南缘边界正断层的活动时代为中生代末~始新世。      

Geochemistry,zircon U–PB ages and HF isotopes of the Muong Luan granitoid pluton,Northwest Vietnam and its petrogenetic significance

The Indosinian Orogeny plays a significant role in tectonic background and magmatic evolution in Indochina and surrounding regions. Being a part product of the Indosinian magmatism in northwest Vietnam during late Permian–middle Triassic period, Muong Luan granitoid pluton dominantly consists of granodiorite, less diorite and granite. This pluton is located in the Song Ma suture and assigned to the Dien Bien complex. Geochemically, the Muong Luan granitoid rocks are characterized by a wide range of SiO₂ contents (59.9–75.1 wt%) and high K₂O contents. They display typical features of I‐type granites. The presence of hornblende and no muscovite and cordierite in the rocks further supports for I‐type character of granitoids. The emplacement age of the Muong Luan pluton obtained by LA–ICP–MS U–Pb zircon is at 242–235 Ma, corresponding to Indosinian time. Zircon ε_Hf values of –5.6 to –10.4, in combination with moderate Mg values of 34–45 suggested that the Muong Luan granitoid was derived from partial melting of mafic crustal source rocks, which are probably Paleoproterozoic in age as revealed by Hf model ages (T_DM2 = 1624–1923 Ma).

湖南栗山铅锌铜多金属矿床闪锌矿微量元素特征及成矿指示意义

位于江南造山带中段的湘东北地区是我国华南重要的金铅锌铜钴多金属矿产地之一,栗山铅锌铜多金属矿床是该区近年来找矿勘查新发现的一大型矿床。该矿床位于晚侏罗世—早白垩世幕阜山岩体南缘,矿体主要赋存于岩体及其与地层接触带的构造破碎带内,空间上与岩体关系密切,然而目前关于该矿床的研究十分薄弱。本文采用电子探针和激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子质谱仪开展了闪锌矿的原位微区微量元素分析。微量元素组成分析结果表明,闪锌矿以富集Co、Ga而贫Fe、Cd、Ge为特征,其中Fe、Mn、Cd、Co、Ga等元素以类质同象形式产出,而Cu、Pb、Ag和Sn等元素则还以包裹体形式赋存于闪锌矿中。根据不同微量元素间的相关关系,认为闪锌矿中可能存在Zn²⁺↔Fe²⁺、4 Zn²⁺↔2 Fe²⁺+Ge⁴⁺+□(其中□表示空位)、3 Zn²⁺↔2 Cu⁺+Ge⁴⁺、2 Zn²⁺↔Ag⁺+Sb³⁺等简单和复杂替代关系。闪锌矿的Zn/Fe、Ga/Ge、Ge/In、Ga/In比值和Fe温度计等指示闪锌矿形成于中低温(240~250 ℃)、低硫逸度(lgf(S₂)=-13.3~-9.6)环境。栗山矿区闪锌矿的微量元素组成特征有别于金顶砂岩型、SEDEX型、VMS型、MVT型和夕卡岩型铅锌矿,结合低的Cd/Fe(0.03~0.14,平均0.06)、Cd/Mn(1.54~6.30,平均2.91)比值和Ge含量,暗示该矿床成矿作用与岩浆活动有关。综合矿区地质特征和区域构造-岩浆演化,认为该矿床是在太平洋板块俯冲后撤引起的伸展构造背景下形成的与燕山期幕阜山岩体有关的中低温岩浆热液充填交代型矿床。该类型矿床闪锌矿具有鲜明的微量元素组成特征,可为判别具相似地质特征的矿床成因提供借鉴。
