广西佛子冲矿区花岗闪长岩成岩时代讨论

广西佛子冲铅锌矿区岩浆岩发育,其中花岗闪长岩与矿化存在密切的空间分布关系,在花岗闪长岩与围岩接触带形成矽卡岩化,主要铅锌矿体分布于矽卡岩蚀变带中。本文通过对花岗闪长岩和伟晶岩中锆石的研究,并采用LA—ICP-MS对单颗锆石进行了年龄测定,分别获得～228Ma和～248Ma两组和谐年龄,以及一批锆石稀土元素数据。在空间上,伟晶岩脉仅仅分布于花岗闪长岩附近,在伟晶岩中有花岗闪长岩残留。两组锆石样品中的稀土配分特征十分相似,两者的单颗粒锆石同位素年龄值也基本一致,这一时间与广西钦防海槽开始闭合,华夏板块与扬子板块发生碰撞的时间一致;反映出在海西．印支早期沿岑溪．博白深大断裂有一次岩浆上侵于老地层中,形成侵入岩和铅锌矿床。     

Syn-rift to post-rift tectonic transition and drainage reorganization in continental rifting basins: Detrital zircon analysis from the Songliao Basin,NE China

Tectonic transition from a syn-rift stage to subsequent post-rift stage is an important mechanism in the evolution of extensional basins. The sedimentary infill records the crustal response to this process. We have obtained new detrital zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf signatures from the Lower Cretaceous stratigraphic successions encompassing the commonly accepted syn- to post-rift transition boundary, the T4 unconformity, in the Songliao Basin, NE China. These constrain the Songliao Basin’s evolution from its center to distal margins, providing insights into the sediment provenance and dispersal pattern over the tectonic transition. Analysis of zircons from the syn-rift (the Shahezi and Yingcheng formations) and immediate post-rift (the Lower and Middle Denglouku Formation) stages reveals Phanerozoic age populations with positive ?_Hf(t) values, which were derived from the proximal juvenile mantle-derived melt origin bedrocks of the Songliao Block. In contrast, the overlying samples from the Upper Denglouku Formation deposited in the subsequent post-rift stage contain exotic and ancient zircon populations with ages of 2.5 Ga & 1.8 Ga and complex hafnium signatures, characteristic of a mixed origin. These are interpreted to be transported from distant cratonic terranes via larger drainage networks. It is obvious that the sediment dispersal pattern switched from being a local and hydrologically closed “intraregional” pattern to a “transcontinental” pattern during the transition. The time lag between the development of the T4 unconformity and the drainage reorganization also ensures a distinguishable ～3 Myr (106103 Ma, Late Albian) transition period of regional extent. During this transition stage, syn-rift faulting was replaced by post-rift thermal subsidence, exhibiting a uniform sag configuration. Our new findings are important for understanding other continental rift basins during syn- to post-rift transition, which often demonstrates a complex interaction between the linkage and integration of sub-basins, and the reorganization of fluvial drainages and catchment systems.     

东天山土屋–延东铜矿带石英钠长斑岩与辉钼矿形成年龄及其重要意义

土屋–延东铜矿带位于东天山大南湖–头苏泉岛弧带上,是目前新疆最大的铜矿带。铜矿体主要赋存于石炭纪斜长花岗斑岩和晚古生代企鹅山群中,但是前人研究表明斜长花岗斑岩的成岩年龄(339~332 Ma),明显老于成矿年龄(约322Ma),因此,土屋–延东铜矿带的致矿岩体至今还存有争议。本次研究首次对该铜矿带晚石炭世石英钠长斑岩进行了详细的岩相学和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学分析,并结合辉钼矿Re-Os同位素年龄测定,探讨土屋–延东铜矿带矿床成因。对延东铜矿4件辉钼矿样品进行Re-Os同位素分析,得到322.0±2.7 Ma的加权平均模式年龄和319.1±9.1 Ma等时线年龄,明显要晚于斜长花岗斑岩年龄。两个石英钠长斑岩样品LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄分别为324.9±2.4 Ma和324.5±2.1 Ma,表明石英钠长斑岩为晚石炭世岩浆活动的产物。岩相学研究表明,石英钠长斑岩中发育黄铜矿+绿泥石+硬石膏+方解石矿物组合,这与延东铜矿主成矿阶段的矿物组合基本一致,并且石英钠长斑岩成岩年龄与辉钼矿年龄在误差范围内一致,表明石英钠长斑岩可能与土屋-延东铜矿带铜矿形成有着密切关系,这一发现可能为大南湖–头苏泉岛弧带晚石炭世铜矿的勘查提供新的思路。     

Geochronology, Petrology and Geochemistry of Xingdi No. 3 Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusions in the Northeastern Tarim Craton, NW China

The Xingdi mafic-ultramafic intrusions occur in the northeastern margin of the Tarim craton. The Xingdi No. 3 intrusion is the smallest of four intrusions, with an exposed area of 1.7 km~2, and the zircon U-Pb age of the intrusion is 752±4 Ma. The intrusion consists of gabbros, pyroxenites and peridotites, and exhibits a crystallization sequence of the main rock-forming minerals as olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and plagioclase. Mineralization occurred at or near the boundaries of the intrusion between pyroxenites and peridotites, and appears as a layered or lenticular shape about 500 m long and 4–15 m wide. The primary sulfides have a relatively simple mineralogy dominated by pyrrhotite-pentlandite-chalcopyrite assemblages, which occur as droplet, star-like and graphic texture and locally sideronitic structures. Geochronological and geochemistry investigations suggest that the Xingdi mafic-ultramafic intrusions and coeval volcanic rock in the Kuluktag area of the Tarim craton formed in an intracontinental breakup environment. Based on the composition of the dominant rockforming minerals and covariant relationships of other oxides versus Mg O, the parental magma of the Xingdi No.3 intrusion belongs to high-Mg tholeiitic basaltic magmas with Mg O of 10.78 wt%. The Xingdi No.3 intrusive rocks are characterized by light REE enrichment relative to heavy REE, negative Nb-Ta anomalies, low ~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd ratios(from 0.511183 to 0.511793) and high initial ~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr ratios(from 0.7051 to 0.7113). The magma was derived from the enriched-lithospheric mantle and was contaminated during emplacement. According to rock assemblages, mineralization, olivine characteristics, geochemical characteristics and mass balance, there are better copper-nickel ore prospects in the Xingdi No.3 intrusion than in the other three intrusions in the area.     

扬子地块西、北缘中元古代地层的划分与对比

广泛分布于扬子地块西缘和北缘的中元古代地层经历了强烈的变形和绿片岩相的变质改造。根据形成时代,该区的中元古代可以识别出两个阶段,中元古代早期(1.8~1.4Ga)和中元古代晚期(1.4~1.0Ga)。中元古代早期的地层包括大红山群、东川群、河口群和通安组(1~4段),中元古代晚期的地层主要由分布在扬子地块西南缘的昆阳群、会理群和分布于扬子地块北缘的神农架群和打鼓石群组成。新的锆石原位定年结果表明,通安组的凝灰岩形成于1744±14Ma左右,河口群角斑岩形成于1659±23Ma左右,侵入会理群天宝山组的辉长辉绿岩形成于1026±7Ma左右。根据岩石组合、形成环境以及年代学资料,中元古代早期的大红山群、东川群、河口群和通安组(1~4段)形成时代相近,地层组成基本相同,它们都含有与岩浆热液有关的铁氧化物铜金(IOCG)矿床或层状铜矿床(SSC),都在1.75~1.45Ga期间形成于大陆裂解环境。扬子地块北缘的火地垭群也可能属于中元古代早期地层。中元古代晚期地层在扬子地块西缘北缘均有分布,其中的昆阳群和会理群大体形成于1.2~1.0Ga,神农架群和打鼓石群形成于1.4~1.0Ga,它们的顶界可能延伸到新元古代早期。在中元古代晚期的地层中含有大量叠层石,表明它们形成于温暖潮湿的浅海环境。除上述的中元古代晚期地层之外,云南元谋地区的苴林群、川西的登相营群、通安组五段等也属于中元古代晚期的地层。

Protracted thrusting followed by late rapid cooling of the Greater Himalayan Sequence,Annapurna Himalaya,Central Nepal: Insights from titanite petrochronology

The Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS) has commonly been treated as a large coherently deforming high‐grade tectonic package, exhumed primarily by simultaneous thrust‐ and normal‐sense shearing on its bounding structures and erosion along its frontal exposure. A new paradigm, developed over the past decade, suggests that the GHS is not a single high‐grade lithotectonic unit, but consists of in‐sequence thrust sheets. In this study, we examine this concept in central Nepal by integrating temperature–time (T–t) paths, based on coupled Zr‐in‐titanite thermometry and U–Pb geochronology for upper GHS calcsilicates, with traditional thermobarometry, textural relationships and field mapping. Peak Zr‐in‐titanite temperatures are 760–850°C at 10–13 kbar, and U–Pb ages of titanite range from c. 30 to c. 15 Ma. Sector zoning of Zr and distribution of U–Pb ages within titanite suggest that diffusion rates of Zr and Pb are slower than experimentally determined rates, and these systems remain unaffected into the lower granulite facies. Two types of T–t paths occur across the Chame Shear Zone (CSZ). Between c. 25 and 17–16 Ma, hangingwall rocks cool at rates of 1–10°C/Ma, while footwall rocks heat at rates of 1–10°C/Ma. Over the same interval, temperatures increase structurally upwards through the hangingwall, but by 17–16 Ma temperatures converge. In contrast, temperatures decrease upwards in footwall rocks at all times. While the footwall is interpreted as an intact, structurally upright section, the thermometric inversion within the hangingwall suggests thrusting of hotter rocks over colder from c. 25 to c. 17–16 Ma. Retrograde hydration that is restricted to the hangingwall, and a lithological repetition of orthogneiss are consistent with thrust‐sense shear on the CSZ. The CSZ is structurally higher than previously identified intra‐GHS thrusts in central Nepal, and thrusting duration was 3–6 Ma longer than proposed for other intra‐GHS thrusts in this region. Cooling rates for both the hangingwall and footwall of the CSZ are comparable to or faster than rates for other intra‐GHS thrust sheets in Nepal. The overlap in high‐T titanite U–Pb ages and previously published muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar cooling ages imply cooling rates for the hangingwall of ≥200°C/Ma after thrusting. Causes of rapid cooling include passive exhumation driven by a combination of duplexing in the Lesser Himalayan Sequence, and juxtaposition of cooler rocks on top of the GHS by the STDS. Normal‐sense displacement does not appear to affect T–t paths for rocks immediately below the STDS prior to 17–16 Ma.     

GGR Biennial Critical Review: Analytical Developments Since 2014

This GGR biennial critical review covers developments and innovations in key analytical methods published since January 2014, relevant to the chemical, isotopic and crystallographic characterisation of geological and environmental materials. In nine selected analytical fields, publications considered to be of wide significance are summarised, background information is provided and their importance evaluated. In addition to instrumental technologies, this review also presents a summary of new developments in the preparation and characterisation of rock, microanalytical and isotopic reference materials, including a précis of recent changes and revisions to ISO guidelines for reference material characterisation and reporting. Selected reports are provided of isotope ratio determinations by both solution nebulisation MC‐ICP‐MS and laser ablation‐ICP‐MS, as well as of radioactive isotope geochronology by LA‐ICP‐MS. Most of the analytical techniques elaborated continue to provide new applications for geochemical analysis; however, it is noted that instrumental neutron activation analysis has become less popular in recent years, mostly due to the reduced availability of nuclear reactors to act as a neutron source. Many of the newer applications reported here provide analysis at increasingly finer resolution. Examples include atom probe tomography, a very sensitive method providing atomic scale information, nanoscale SIMS, for isotopic imaging of geological and biological samples, and micro‐XRF, which has a spatial resolution many orders of magnitude smaller than conventional XRF.     

2004–2005 Analytical Developments in Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

This review of the literature from 2004 and 2005 concerning secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) highlights the contribution the technique has made in the fields of petrology, geochronology, cosmochemistry and material sciences. In petrology, much research was devoted to the measurement of stable isotopes and trace elements by developments in multicollection acquisition, with emphasis on low atomic mass number elements. Elements studied in particular were S (in sulfides), O (in garnets), C (in sedimentary organic matter), Cl (in glasses) and Si. Novel applications of SIMS to geochronology have included the measurement of young zircon grains by the U-Pb and U-Th decay methods. An increasing number of studies have combined U-Pb geochronology with the measurement of trace elements or stable isotopes in zircon.
