中天山北缘华力西期造山作用——变质岩锆石U-Pb年代学限定

笔者对中天山微陆块北缘托克逊干沟地区角闪岩相变质岩中的锆石进行了U-Pb年代学研究,结果证明变质沉积岩中的碎屑锆石记录了从太古宙至元古宙(3320～530 Ma)的源区岩浆热事件,变质火成岩中的岩浆锆石记录了新元古代晚期(550 Ma)的岩浆作用,而变质锆石记录了晚泥盆纪(385～360 Ma)的变质作用。这一定年结果表明,中天山微陆块北缘的造山作用很可能发生在华力西期,中天山微陆块形成于新元古代以前,但并没有经历前寒武纪变质作用,具有与塔里木克拉通明显不同的前寒武纪构造演化历史。因此,中天山微陆块很可能是一个独立的块体,并不支持其是从塔里木板块分离出来的观点。     

南阿尔金山清水泉镁铁-超镁铁质侵入体LA-ICP-MS 锆石U-Pb同位素定年及其意义

清水泉镁铁-超镁铁质层状侵入体位于南阿尔金山阿帕—茫崖构造带中-北部的清水泉地区,其北部与南阿尔金山超高压变质带紧邻。该岩体包含有3～4个由辉石橄榄岩-角闪辉长岩构成的岩浆旋回,与元古宙变质沉积岩系呈侵入接触关系。对其中的角闪辉长岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素测年,其206Pb/238U表面年龄为(461±2)Ma～(471±2)Ma,其加权平均值为(467.4±1.4)Ma(n=21,MSWD=2.5),所测锆石具有明显的岩浆振荡环带,Th/U比值为0.32～1.16(平均0.64)。测年结果显示,清水泉镁铁-超镁铁质岩体的形成时代晚于南阿尔金山超高压变质岩的峰期变质时代(504～487 Ma),而老于该地区A型花岗岩的时代(425 Ma左右)。分析认为,伴随着同时代的"双峰式"岩浆侵入作用及广泛的变质热事件,大约465 Ma时的南阿尔金山已经由前期的陆-陆碰撞造山阶段转入到了碰撞后的裂谷伸展作用阶段。     

LA-ICP-MS Zircon U-Pb Geochronology of the Fine-grained Granite and Molybdenite?Re-Os?Dating in the Wurinitu Molybdenum Deposit, Inner Mongolia, China

The Wurinitu molybdenum deposit, located in Honggor, Sonid Left Banner of Inner Mongolia, China, is recently discovered and is considered to be associated with a concealed fine-grained granite impregnated with molybdenite.?The wall rocks are composed of Variscan porphyritic-like biotite granite and the Lower Ordovician Wubin’aobao Formation.?LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating of the fine-grained granite reveals two stages of zircons,?one were formed at 181.7±7.?4 Ma and?the other at 133.6±3.3 Ma. The latter age is believed to be the formation age of the fine-grained granite, while the former may reflect the age of inherited zircons, based on the morphological study of the zircon and regional geological setting. The Re-Os model age of molybdenite is 142.2±2.5?Ma, which is older than the diagenetic age of the fine-grained granite.?Therefore the authors believe that the metallogenic age of the Wurinitu molybdenum deposit should be?nearly 133.6±3.3 Ma or slightly later, i.e., Early Cretaceous.?Combined with regional geological background research, it is speculated that the molybdenum deposits were formed at the late Yanshanian orogenic cycle in the Hingganling-Mongolian orogenic belt, belonging to the relaxation epoch posterior to the compression and was associated with the closure of the Mongolia-Okhotsk?Sea.

Glacial advances constrained by Be exposure dating of bedrock landslides, Kyrgyz Tien Shan

Numerous large landslide deposits occur in the Tien Shan, a tectonically active intraplate orogen in Central Asia. Yet their significance in Quaternary landscape evolution and natural hazard assessment remains unresolved due to the lack of "absolute" age constraints. Here we present the first ¹⁰Be exposure ages for three prominent (> 10⁷ m³) bedrock landslides that blocked major rivers and formed lakes, two of which subsequently breached, in the northern Kyrgyz Tien Shan. Three ¹⁰Be ages reveal that one landslide in the Alamyedin River occurred at 11–15 ka, which is consistent with two ¹⁴C ages of gastropod shells from reworked loess capping the landslide. One large landslide in Aksu River is among the oldest documented in semi-arid continental interiors, with a ¹⁰Be age of 63–67 ka. The Ukok River landslide deposit(s) yielded variable ¹⁰Be ages, which may result from multiple landslides, and inheritance of ¹⁰Be. Two ¹⁰Be ages of 8.2 and 5.9 ka suggest that one major landslide occurred in the early to mid-Holocene, followed by at least one other event between 1.5 and 0.4 ka. Judging from the regional glacial chronology, all three landslides have occurred between major regional glacial advances. Whereas Alamyedin and Ukok can be considered as postglacial in this context, Aksu is of interglacial age. None of the landslide deposits show traces of glacial erosion, hence their locations and ¹⁰Be ages mark maximum extents and minimum ages of glacial advances, respectively. Using toe-to-headwall altitude ratios of 0.4–0.5, we reconstruct minimum equilibrium-line altitudes that exceed previous estimates by as much as 400 m along the moister northern fringe of the Tien Shan. Our data show that deposits from large landslides can provide valuable spatio-temporal constraints for glacial advances in landscapes where moraines and glacial deposits have low preservation potential.     

A loess-paleosol record of climate and glacial history over the past two glacial-interglacial cycles (~ 150 ka), southern Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Loess accumulated on a Bull Lake outwash terrace of Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage 6 (MIS 6) age in southern Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The 9 m section displays eight intervals of loess deposition (Loess 1 to Loess 8, oldest), each followed by soil development. Our age-depth model is constrained by thermoluminescence, meteoric ¹⁰Be accumulation in soils, and cosmogenic ¹⁰Be surface exposure ages. We use particle size, geochemical, mineral-magnetic, and clay mineralogical data to interpret loess sources and pedogenesis. Deposition of MIS 6 loess was followed by a tripartite soil/thin loess complex (Soils 8, 7, and 6) apparently reflecting the large climatic oscillations of MIS 5. Soil 8 (MIS 5e) shows the strongest development. Loess 5 accumulated during a glacial interval (~ 76-69 ka; MIS 4) followed by soil development under conditions wetter and probably colder than present. Deposition of thick Loess 3 (~ 43-51 ka, MIS 3) was followed by soil development comparable with that observed in Soil 1. Loess 1 (MIS 2) accumulated during the Pinedale glaciation and was followed by development of Soil 1 under a semiarid climate. This record of alternating loess deposition and soil development is compatible with the history of Yellowstone vegetation and the glacial flour record from the Sierra Nevada.     

阿尔泰南缘乌吐布拉克铁矿区花岗质岩石年代学及成因

本文对新疆阿尔泰南缘乌吐布拉克铁矿区斜长花岗岩和黑云母斜长花岗岩进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄测定,分别获得了385.6±2.3 Ma（MSDW=0.13）和387.7±2.1 Ma（MSDW=0.23）的谐和年龄,两者为中泥盆世早期同源岩浆侵入体。乌吐布拉克铁矿的形成与岩浆侵入活动密切相关,据此限定铁矿成矿时代略晚于388～386 Ma,为中泥盆世早期成矿。乌吐布拉克斜长花岗岩与黑云斜长母花岗岩均具有高硅（SiO2=66.01%～79.14%）、富钠贫钾（Na2O＞K2O）的特点。A/CNK〖HT4”〗{A/CNK=n(Al2O3)/\n(CaO)+n(Na2O)+n(K2O)]}值均小于1.1,表明两者为准铝质低钾花岗岩。微量元素表现为富集Th、Ta、Hf等高场强元素,亏损Rb 、Ba、K、Sr、P大离子亲石元素。稀土元素表现为轻稀土相对富集,轻重稀土元素分馏明显[(La/Yb)N=2.46～7.24],具有中等或强的Eu负异常。结合区域地质资料,认为乌吐布拉克矿区花岗岩形成于与板块俯冲有关的活动大陆边缘的陆缘弧环境中。     

青海门源地区红沟铜矿床含矿基性火山岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄

对红沟铜矿床含矿火山岩进行高精度锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素测年,获得单颗粒锆石的加权平均年龄为443.2Ma±1.2Ma。红沟铜矿床形成时代为晚奥陶世,形成环境为晚奥陶世陆缘裂谷环境。高精度年龄的获得对于整个祁连山地区产于陆缘裂谷环境的铜多金属矿床的成矿时代和成因研究具有重要意义。     

皖东滁州盆地晚中生代火山岩的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

滁州盆地是长江中下游地区晚中生代发育的一系列断陷型火山岩盆地中的一个,但与其他在早中生代坳陷基础上发育起来的"继承式"火山岩盆地不同,它直接叠置在大别山造山带之上,盆地基底岩石的时代较老,属新元古代-早古生代地层。盆地内的火山岩主要为一套中酸性偏碱性的粗安质和粗面英安质岩石,属高钾钙碱性系列,地球化学特征上明显不同于长江中下游地区大多数盆地中火山岩所表现出的橄榄玄粗岩系列的特点(如宁芜盆地、庐枞盆地、溧水盆地、怀宁盆地)。应用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb法测得滁州盆地黄石坝组粗安岩的锆石206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为128±1 Ma。该年龄与长江中下游地区其他盆地中火山岩-潜火山岩的形成时代类似,表明整个长江中下游地区的火山活动是在很短的时间内发生的。滁州盆地内的火山岩具有比长江中下游其他盆地中火山岩低得多的εNd(t)值,而类似于大别山造山带内晚中生代的花岗岩类侵入体,指示其成因可能主要与古老下地壳物质的部分熔融有关。
