大巴山晚中生代陆内造山构造应力场

位于中上扬子板块北缘的大巴山造山带, 平面上表现为大尺度向南西显著突出的弧形带, 无论在变形样式和形成时间上都明显与秦岭造山带不同。在大巴山构造格架划分和野外构造变形观测基础上, 通过构造解析, 结合年代学研究成果, 重建了大巴山晚中生代独特的构造应力场, 指出大巴山属陆内造山, 形成于J2末, 并持续到K2初期。其构造应力场特征, 以城口－房县断裂为界, 大巴山逆冲推覆带与其前陆冲断褶皱带的特征显著不同。大巴山逆冲推覆带主要表现为NE-SW向构造挤压, 而在大巴山弧形前陆带从西向东, 由近E-W向挤压, 转变为NE-SW向挤压, 最后转变为近S-N向挤压, 构成一向其外缘扩散的放射状构造应力场。总之, 大巴山造山带由推覆体向前陆, 构造挤压作用由北东向南西方向扩散。这期构造挤压作用控制了大巴山造山带陆内变形活动, 导致大巴山由北东向南西的显著缩短, 同时受到其东西两侧基底隆起——神农架－黄陵地块与汉南地块的强烈阻挡, 造就了现今的大巴山前陆弧型构造。其动力学背景可归因于晚中生代东亚板块多向汇聚。大巴山晚中生代陆内造山构造应力场的研究, 对探讨秦岭造山带动力学特征具有科学意义, 为研究川东北油气运聚规律提供了构造地质学依据。     

南祁连山前区中生代晚期古构造特征的研究

南祁连山前区可以分为露头和盆地区两个不同的大地构造单元,本区晚中生代构造活动强烈,控制了新生代的沉积过程和现今中生界残余层序的分布。本文提出了均匀平板状沉积体后期的构造变形可以利用古地质图以及高精度残余地层厚度的变化规律判断古构造带的分析方法,并且对于研究区中生代晚期的古构造特征进行了分析。露头区主要利用古地质图分析方法,研究区集中在赛什腾山-埃姆尼克山北缘的鱼卡和红山地区。盆地区主要利用中生界残余厚度图的分析方法,研究区集中在赛什腾山-埃姆尼克山南侧的赛什腾南部凹陷和马海凸起地区。通过这4个地区古构造特征的研究,提出南祁连山前区中生代晚期在区域性隆升的背景下,形成了一系列古构造带,古构造活动的特点是形成北西-北北西走向的背斜和向斜构造,这些褶皱的波长为15～20 km,为中尺度规模。同时指出,中国西部多数地区均缺失上白垩统,暗示着当时的中亚地区存在一个广阔的晚白垩世古高原。     

福建锦城187Ma花岗岩的发现——对华南沿海早侏罗世构造演化的制约

本文对福建沿海福清地区的锦城花岗岩和牛头尾花岗闪长岩进行了岩石地球化学、锆石U-Pb-Hf同位素分析.LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示锦城花岗岩的年龄为187±1Ma,为福建沿海首次发现的早侏罗世岩浆活动;牛头尾花岗岩形成时代为130±1Ma,代表燕山晚期(白垩纪)的一期岩浆活动.锦城花岗岩具有高5iO2、偏碱、高Fe2OT3等特征,为高钾钙碱性系列,岩石相对富集轻稀土,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素,富集Ba、Sr等大离子亲石元素,具高Rb/Sr( 1.31 ～ 1.93)比值及低Rb/Ba(0.26 ～0.29)、Eu/Eu*(0.30 ～0.56)、La/Yb(5.69 ～ 18.39),Sr/Y(2.24 ～2.29)比值,为典型的Ⅰ型花岗岩,且具有火山孤花岗岩的地球化学特征,很可能形成于与俯冲相关的构造背景.牛头尾花岗岩相比锦城花岗岩低SiO2,贫钾,而富镁、钙,属于花岗闪长岩.其更亏损Nb、Ta及富集Ba、Sr,具较低Rb/Sr(0.27)、Rb/Ba(0.09)比值和较高的Eu/Eu*(0.98)、La/Yb( 16.87),Sr/Y( 19.08)比值,同样为具有弧特征的钙碱性Ⅰ型花岗岩,也形成于与大洋俯冲有关的构造背景.锦城花岗岩和年头尾花岗闪长岩具有相似的锆石Hf同位素组成,εHf(t)分别为2.18～4.73和1.25 ～4.15,tDMC均为～ 1.0Ga,表明二者起源于相同的新元古代新生地壳.结合已有的资料,本次研究发现锦城花岗岩与南岭地区同时代岩浆岩( 194 ～ 172Ma)在成因上有密切的联系,暗示古太平洋板决的俯冲很可能自早侏罗世开始.这样,华南古特提斯构造域向古太平洋构造域的转换很可能发生在早侏罗世之前,大致在205 ～ 190Ma期间.     

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。

Early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the Chinese South Tianshan Orogen: constraints from SHRIMP zircon U–Pb geochronology and geochemistry of basaltic and dioritic rocks from Xiate,NW China

Traditionally the Chinese South Tianshan has been regarded as a late Paleozoic orogenic belt. However, little is known about the early Paleozoic tectonic architecture of the region. This paper presents the first evidence of Cambrian–Ordovician MORB-type basalts and adakitic diorites on the southern margin of the Yili plate in China. Basalts from Xiate in southwestern Tianshan show a typical transitional (T-) MORB and ferrobasalt composition, which indicate a formation at a propagating spreading ridge. The basalts give a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U crystallization age of 516.3 ± 7.4 Ma by SHRIMP U–Pb zircon dating and have experienced contact metamorphism due to the intrusion of a dioritic pluton. The dioritic pluton has a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U crystallization age of 470 ± 12 Ma and geochemical characteristics resembling that of adakitic rocks. The pluton is considered to have been formed by partial melting of garnet amphibolites from thickened lower crust in arc or continental collision settings. The basalts and diorites are considered to outline the eastern extension of the early Paleozoic suture zone, the Nikolaev Line, which stretches east–west for hundreds of kilometers between the Northern Tianshan and Central Tianshan terranes of Kyrgyzstan. Our findings substantiate that the Yili and Central Tianshan plates were separated by the early Paleozoic Terskey ocean. The Terskey ocean probably closed during the early stage of the late Ordovician (Lomize et al. in Geotectonics 31(6):463–482, 1997), resulting in the final amalgamation of the Yili and Central Tianshan plates. Consequently, an early Paleozoic suture zone is documented in the Chinese Tianshan region, which is most likely represented by the North Nalati fault.     

海拉尔盆地乌尔逊-贝尔凹陷挤压构造的发现及其地质意义

海拉尔盆地是叠置于内蒙古-大兴安岭古生代碰撞造山带之上的中-新生代盆地,总体上呈北东向展布,由三坳、两隆五个一级构造单元组成,自西向东依次为扎贲诺尔坳陷、嵯岗隆起、贝尔湖坳陷、巴彦山隆起和呼和湖坳陷, 其中乌尔逊凹陷、贝尔凹陷是位于贝尔湖坳陷凹陷南部的两个二级构造单元。研究表明,乌尔逊-贝尔凹陷在早白垩世大磨拐河期-伊敏期早期、伊敏期末期分别经历了北西 南东向、近东西向两次较长时间的挤压作用,使伸展断陷中的部分控陷正断层发生反转作用,在研究区形成了新的断层传播褶皱、断层转折褶皱以及叠瓦构造和双重构造、突发构造、构造三角带等。由于挤压构造的几何学、运动学特征的不同及隆升速率与同构造生长地层沉积速率的比值在空间上的差异,同挤压地层层序在不同构造部位也表现出不同的沉积特点,其构造特征与造山带十分相似。乌尔逊-贝尔凹陷中两次挤压构造的发现,说明中国东北地区的地壳厚度在早白垩世并非一直处于伸展减薄状态,而是在上述两次挤压时期地壳处于叠置增厚的特点,在空间上形成挤压坳陷型盆地和陆内(板内)造山带相间分布的构造格局。     

Behavior of lophophorates during the end-Permian mass extinction and recovery

The end-Permian mass extinction devastated most marine communities and the recovery was a protracted event lasting several million years into the Early Triassic. Environmental and biological processes undoubtedly controlled patterns of recovery for marine invertebrates in the aftermath of the extinction, but are often difficult to single-out. The global diversity and distribution of marine lophophorates during the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction indicates that stenolaemate bryozoans, rhynchonelliform brachiopods, and lingulid brachiopods displayed distinct recovery patterns.Bryozoans were the most susceptible of the lophophorates, experiencing relatively high rates of extinction at the end of the Permian, and becoming restricted to the Boreal region during the Early Triassic. The recovery of bryozoans was also delayed until the Late Triassic and characterized by very low diversity and abundance. Following the final disappearance of Permian rhynchonelliform brachiopod survivors, Early Triassic rhynchonelliform brachiopod abundance remained suppressed despite a successful re-diversification and a global distribution, suggesting a decoupling between global taxonomic and ecological processes likely driven by lingering environmental stress.In contrast with bryozoans and rhynchonelliforms, lingulid brachiopods rebounded rapidly, colonizing shallow marine settings left vacant by the extinction. Lingulid dominance, characterized by low diversity but high numerical abundance, was short-lived and they were once again displaced back into marginal settings as environmental stress changed through the marine recovery. The presence in lingulid brachiopods of the respiratory pigment hemerythrin, known to increase the efficacy of oxygen storage and transport, when coupled with other morphological and physiological adaptations, may have given lingulids a survival advantage in environmentally stressed Early Triassic settings.     

Unusual intraclastic limestones in Lower Triassic carbonates and their bearing on the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction

Flat pebble conglomerates were a common carbonate facies in Cambrian to Early Ordovician open marine settings, but they become extremely rare in these environments after this time. However, the Early Triassic witnessed an anachronistic reappearance of flat pebbles, together with other intraclast types, in a range of carbonate depositional settings. In south China, flat pebble conglomerates are encountered in storm-dominated, platform carbonates to deep basinal settings, while prefossilized bivalve intraclasts and flat pebbles are common in mid-ramp facies of northern Italy. The emplacement mechanisms of the intraclast-bearing beds appear to have been diverse and to have included basinal turbidity flows and storm-generated hyperconcentrated flows: true storm beds, deposited under combined flow conditions, are rare. The cause of the widespread early lithification implied by the Early Triassic intraclasts appears to have been twofold: suppression of bioturbation, allowing the preservation of thin beds, and rapid submarine lithification. Both features appear to be a response to the widespread development of benthic dysoxia/anoxia during and following the end-Permian mass extinction. This event appears to have temporarily recreated the conditions that pertained in Cambro-Ordovician shelf seas. Flat pebble conglomerates may, therefore, constitute a proxy indicator of stressed environmental conditions associated with global anoxic/dysoxic events.     

福建晋江中-基性岩墙群的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年和岩石地球化学

福建晋江晚中生代中-基性岩墙群可分为两期:早期岩墙群,岩性为角闪辉绿岩,近东西走向(N70-85E),锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为90±2Ma;晚期岩墙群,岩性为微晶闪长岩,北东走向(N35～50E),锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄为87±2Ma。两期岩墙群沿晚中生代花岗片麻岩的节理侵入。在地球化学上,它们具有轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素富集、高场强元素亏损等特点,I_(Sr)=0．7045～0．7053,ε_(Nd)(t)=-1．18～-1．97,与金门、小金门岛的镁铁质岩墙群相似,也和闽东南晚中生代基性火成岩(辉长岩、玄武岩)的一致。它们是起源于受消减作用影响的岩石圈地幔部分熔融而产生的玄武岩浆,经岩浆分异作用,在拉张的构造环境中侵入形成。
