UHT metamorphism on Seram,eastern Indonesia: reaction microstructures and P–T evolution of spinel‐bearing garnet–sillimanite granulites from the Kobipoto Complex

The island of Seram, part of the northern limb of the Banda Arc in eastern Indonesia, exposes an extensive Mio‐Pliocene granulite facies migmatite complex (the Kobipoto Complex) comprising voluminous leucosome‐rich diatexites and scarcer Al–Fe‐rich residual granulites. The migmatites are intimately associated with ultramafic rocks of predominantly lherzolitic composition that were exhumed by substantial lithospheric extension beneath low‐angle detachment faults; heat supplied by the lherzolites was evidently a major driver for the granulite facies metamorphism and accompanying anatexis. Residual garnet–sillimanite granulites sampled from the Kobipoto Mountains, central Seram, contain scarce garnet‐hosted inclusions of hercynite spinel (~1.5 wt% ZnO) + quartz (± ilmenite) in direct grain‐boundary contact – an assemblage potentially indicative of metamorphism under ultrahigh‐temperature (UHT) conditions. thermocalc ‘Average P–T’ reactions and melanosome‐specific thermocalc , T–M_O, and P–T pseudosections in the Na₂O–CaO–K₂O–FeO–MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–H₂O–TiO₂–Fe₂O₃ (NCKFMASHTO) chemical system, supported by Ti‐in‐garnet thermobarometry, are permissive of the rock having experienced a clockwise P–T path peaking at 925 °C and 9 kbar – thus narrowly reaching UHT conditions – before undergoing near‐isothermal decompression to ~750 °C and ~4 kbar. Spinel + quartz assemblages are interpreted to have formed at or just after the metamorphic peak from localized reactions between sillimanite, ilmenite and surrounding garnet. Further decompression of the rock resulted in the formation of complex reaction microstructures comprising cordierite ± plagioclase coronae around garnet, and symplectic intergrowths of cordierite + spinel + ilmenite around sillimanite. Small grains of sapphirine + corundum developed subsequently within spinel by localized quartz‐absent reactions. The post‐peak evolution of the granulites may be related to previously published U–Pb zircon and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of c. 16 Ma, further substantiating the claim for the Kobipoto Complex granulites having recorded Earth's youngest‐identified episode of UHT metamorphism, albeit at slightly lower temperature and higher pressure than previously inferred. The Kobipoto Complex granulites demonstrate how UHT conditions may be achieved in the ‘modern’ Earth by extreme lithospheric extension, which, in this instance, was driven by slab rollback of the Banda Arc.     

四川木里杨房沟闪长岩体锆石U-Pb定年、地球化学特征及其构造意义

四川木里地区杨房沟黑云母石英闪长岩体位于甘孜-理塘蛇绿混杂岩带南段以东,其锆石U-Pb年龄值为210±1Ma,表明其成岩年龄为晚三叠世。岩体属于高钾钙碱性系列,其稀土元素配分曲线呈向右缓倾型,轻稀土元素富集明显,Eu负异常明显,表明岩浆演化过程中部分斜长石经历了结晶分离过程。构造环境判别图解显示,木里杨房沟黑云母石英闪长岩形成于与甘孜-理塘蛇绿混杂岩带闭合的火山弧构造环境。     

内蒙古维拉斯托锡多金属矿石英脉形态分带定量分析

为探讨维拉斯托锡多金属矿床含锡石英脉形态分带的成矿动力学机制,通过利用分形和混合分布工具对断层脉带和上、下节理脉带进行定量分析。上、下节理脉带在脉厚、钨锡品位分形维数和混合筛分分布方面均具有相似性,暗示了两者可能具有相似的成矿机制。与上、下节理脉带相比,断层脉带的脉厚和钨锡品位分形维数均较小,断层脉带内的聚焦化流动、较低的脉体成核率、脉体叠加生长和矿化叠加富集可能是导致断层脉带的厚脉和富矿比例均高于上、下节理脉带的重要原因。     

青海夏日哈木矿区中泥盆世闪长玢岩锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学及其地质意义

夏日哈木矿区的闪长玢岩主要出露于矿区北部。闪长玢岩LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为（381.7±1.9） Ma,MSWD=0.20,属中泥盆世;结合闪长玢岩侵入成矿杂岩体的野外产状,研究表明夏日哈木镍矿的形成早于381.7±1.9 Ma。岩石学及化学成分显示其属于钙碱性、偏铝质系列闪长玢岩。岩体富Na（K2O/Na2O值为0.45~0.60）,稀土元素总量较低（ΣREE为128.28×10-6 ~ 141.65×10-6）,轻重稀土分馏明显,（La/Yb）N值为6.86 ~ 7.96;根据其较高的La/Nb值（3.32~3.76,平均3.57）、Th/Nb值（0.95～1.02,平均为0.99）以及Th/La值（0.266～0.291,平均0.278）,结合源区判别图解,研究表明该岩石为下地壳部分熔融的产物。综合区域地质演化背景,表明夏日哈木矿区闪长玢岩形成于造山后伸展向板内过渡的环境。     

Spinel–sapphirine–quartz bearing composite inclusion within garnet from an ultrahigh-temperature pelitic granulite: Implications for metamorphic history and P–T path

We report here a multiphase mineral inclusion composed of quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar, sapphirine, spinel, orthopyroxene, and biotite, in porphyroblastic garnet within a pelitic granulite from Rajapalaiyam in the Madurai Granulite Block, southern India. In this unique textural association, hitherto unreported in previous studies, sapphirine shows four occurrences: (1) as anhedral mineral between spinel and quartz (Spr-1), (2) subhedral to euhedral needles mantled by quartz (Spr-2), (3) subhedral to anhedral mineral in orthopyroxene, and (4) isolated inclusion with quartz (Spr-4). Spr-1, Spr-2, and Spr-4 show direct grain contact with quartz, providing evidence for ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism at temperatures exceeding 1000 °C. Associated orthopyroxene shows high Mg/(Fe + Mg) ratio ( 0.75) and Al₂O₃ content (up to 9.6 wt.%), also suggesting T > 1050 °C and P > 10 kbar during peak metamorphism.

Coarse spinel (Spl-1) with irregular grain morphology and adjacent quartz grains are separated by thin films of Spr-1 and K-feldspar, suggesting that Spl-1 and quartz were in equilibrium before the stability of Spr-1 + quartz. This texture implies that the P–T conditions of the rock shifted from the stability field of spinel + quartz to sapphirine + quartz. Petrogenetic grid considerations based on available data from the FMAS system favour exhumation along a counterclockwise P–T trajectory. The irregular shape of the inclusion and chemistry of the inclusion minerals are markedly different from the matrix phases suggesting the possibility that the inclusion minerals could have equilibrated from cordierite-bearing silicate-melt pockets during the garnet growth at extreme UHT conditions.     

蒋家沟泥石流堆积物的时代及成因

据石英ESR和~14C测年结果,蒋家沟泥石流堆积可分为晚更新世形成的古泥石流堆积和近代泥石流堆积两类。古泥石流堆积再分为早、中、晚三期。扫描镜下观察蒋家沟古泥石流堆积中的石英砂表面机械结构特征和现代泥石流十分相同,例如两者的颗粒都呈尖锐棱角状,粒面上均发育很好的贝壳状断裂结构、解理面、凹坑、擦痕(或擦沟)等,这表明二者的形成环境是相同的。     

准噶尔盆地玛湖凹陷风城组页岩自生长英质矿物的成因机理及其储层改造意义

玛湖凹陷二叠系风城组是近几年准噶尔盆地页岩油接替的主攻领域,但其页岩成岩改造强烈,原始岩性归属尚不明确。X射线粉晶衍射测得风城组页岩黏土矿物含量普遍较低（<10%）,长英质矿物含量较高（60%~80%）。薄片分析发现风城组长英质页岩存在三种类型：① 粉砂级（4~63 μm）长石和石英碎屑含量丰富,为典型的粉砂岩;② 燧石条带和团块发育,为富硅页岩;③ 长英质基质发育,呈非碎屑状,且火山尘及火山玻璃少见,其矿物组成和形态与典型的黏土岩、粉砂岩及沉凝灰岩明显不同。背散射图像和高精度扫描电镜测得该长英质基质由碎屑和自生石英、钾长石和钠长石共同组成,可见黏土矿物、碎屑钾长石和钠长石向自生石英转化,碎屑钾长石向自生钠长石转化。通过调研全球中新生代碱湖沉积中自生硅酸盐矿物组合特征和成岩演化规律,探讨了二叠系风城组“贫”黏土矿物和“富”自生长英质矿物的原因,并提出风城组发育一类“改造长英质页岩”,主要由原始黏土和长石碎屑矿物和火山物质经过多期成岩改造而成。早期高碱（pH>9）沉积和成岩环境增加了SiO2溶解度和元素铝的活性,导致黏土矿物、泥级—细粉砂级长英质碎屑、火山灰等在入湖后发生“溶解、转化”,形成次稳定的硅酸盐矿物,如沸石和含镁蒙皂石,在经历漫长埋藏成岩后进一步转化为更为稳定的石英、钾长石和钠长石。碱湖页岩的成岩改造过程消耗了黏土矿物和火山灰,极大增加了页岩脆性,同时伴生了大量基质溶孔和晶间孔,是一类优质的页岩储层。     

栖霞金矿矿物、流体和同位素特征及意义

栖霞金矿床伴生的黑钨矿是低温热液的产物。成矿流体的成分与典型的大气降水热液组分相类似,其δ１８Ｏ约为－３．６‰～４．５‰,δＤ约为－５６‰～－９５‰,变化范围较大,但这些氢、氧同位素值很好地反映了大气降水在不同温度和Ｗ／Ｒ比值条件下与胶东群变质岩交换后的分布特征,成矿作用以Ｗ／Ｒ比值较低为特点。金矿床的Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ等时线年龄为１２５．８×１０６ａ,与胶东群变质岩系和混合花岗岩的时差较大,矿化物质的Ｓｒ同位素初始比高达０．７１６８,大气降水深循环对流作用是形成栖霞金矿床的主要原因。     

Rock magnetic record of Cenozoic lake sediments from the Linxia basin and aridification of the Asian inland

High resolution research of rock magnetic records and quartz sands from the Maogou Section in the Linxia basin reveals that after a relatively stable environment between 13.07 Ma and 8.6 Ma, the basin was gradually influxed by eolian dusts at about 8.6 Ma, with two rapid increases at about 6.4 Ma and 5.3 Ma, respectively. The study suggests that drying of northwest China began at 8.6 Ma and strengthened rapidly at about 6.4 Ma and 5.3 Ma. __________ Translated from Marine geology & Quaternary geology, 2007, 27(4): 103–110 [译自: 海洋地质与第四纪地质]
