Fission track analysis and thermotectonic history of the main borehole of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling project

The Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD) project, part of the International Continental Drilling Program (ICDP), has completed drilling a 5158 m hole in the eastern part of the Dabie-Sulu ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belt. This study reports on an apatite fission track analysis of core samples from 0 to 4000 m depth in the CCSD main hole (CCSD-MH). We determined the fission track ages of 38 apatite samples from different depths. The ages range between 98.6 ± 17.0 and 3.2 ± 1.3 Ma, showing a general decreasing trend with depth, from 87.1 ± 11.2 Ma at the surface to 3.2 ± 1.3 Ma at 3899 m depth. As a first approximation, an average uplift rate of ~ 35 m/Ma is calculated for the period 90-30 Ma. The trend in ages within the borehole shows some fluctuations, and indicates movements along major faults. It is inferred that the highest-level major normal fault occurs at a depth of ~ 350 m, recording a vertical displacement of ~ 400 m. Movement along another prominent normal fault at a depth of ~ 2150 m occurred subsequent to ~ 25 Ma. Three major reverse faults occur at about 2450, 3050 and 3250 m depth. Testing geological constrains against the fission track data set indicated an agreement with a reheating of the area during the late Cretaceous and Eocene, followed by cooling to ~ 80 °C during the Eocene and a low cooling until the samples reached their present-day position in the Donghai area.     

中国大陆科学钻探靶区深部温度预测

依据中国大陆科学钻探(CCSD)两口先导孔中地热测量和岩石样品热物性参数,对5000m深钻的可能钻遇温度进行了预测.先导孔中地温梯度介于1-26℃/km;岩石热导率变化为2.64-8.81W/(m@K),平均(3.4±1.26)W/(m@K);实测热流值为76-80mW/m2;30块岩石样品放射性生热率变化为(0.0-2.17)μW/m3,450m深度以上层平均(0.76±0.5)μW/m3,以下层段平均(0.48±0.2)μW/m3,生热率随深度递减,但变化趋势难以明确判定.分别对热流和热导率取上、下限,采用不同的生热率随深度的分布函数,区分考虑或不考虑热导率的温度相关性,分别计算出5000m深度内可能的温度分布剖面.计算结果表明,超深井于5000m垂直深度上的温度将达到110-140℃,2000m深度的探井钻遇温度将介于54-64℃.此外,考虑热导率的温度效应后预测的温度一般高于未考虑热导率温度效应5-8℃.

中国大陆科学钻探（CCSD）主孔超高压变质岩副矿物锆石中的流体包裹体研究

中国大陆科学钻探工程主孔位于苏鲁超高压变质地体南部,钻孔穿过的超高压岩石主要有榴辉岩、正、副片麻岩、石榴橄榄岩、角闪岩,以及少量片岩和石英岩。锆石是超高压岩石中的常见副矿物,按成因可以分为原岩锆石、变质(增生)锆石和新生锆石。这三类锆石中普遍含有矿物包体和少量流体包裹体,它们记录了超高压岩石经历的进变质、超高压变质和退变质期间流体作用的信息。锆石中的流体包裹体具有以下特征:(1)原岩锆石核部常见原生H2O和H2O-CO2包裹体,H2O包裹体的组成和盐度变化较大;而沿原岩锆石裂隙有时还有次生H2O-CO2和(或)CO2包裹体;(2)在变质锆石或锆石的变质增生带(幔部或边部)仅偶尔发现与超高压矿物包体共生的H2O-CO2包裹体;(3)榴辉岩,特别是片麻岩可以含大量微粒新生锆石,其中偶尔可见低盐度的H2O±CO2包裹体;(4)锆石中流体包裹体的丰度与主岩氧同位素值存在一定相关性:即具有很低δ18O值的岩石所含锆石中流体包裹体特别丰富,而具有正常氧同位素组成的岩石中锆石很少或不合流体包裹体;结合原岩锆石、变质锆石和新生锆石中均有中低盐度的H2O和H2O-CO2包裹体存在,反映了在大陆深俯冲-折返过程中变质流体具有继承性。H2O和H2O-CO2包裹体的等容线全都从根据矿物温压计获得的变质峰期压力-温度区间下部通过,推测在进变质-超高压变质峰期捕获的流体包裹体随后受到了改造。在进变质-超高压变质和退变质期间变质流体的存在促进了原岩锆石不同程度地受到溶蚀、变质增生和变质锆石、新生锆石的形成。     

Oligomerization of levoglucosan by Fenton chemistry in proxies of biomass burning aerosols

Reactions of levoglucosan with produced from Fenton chemistry were studied in solution serving as a proxy for biomass burning aerosols. Two modes of oligomerization (≤2000 u) were observed for reaction times between 1 and 7 days using matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LDI-TOF-MS). Single-mass unit continuum mass distributions with dominant −2 u patterns were measured and superimposed by a +176/+162 u oligomer series. This latter oligomer pattern was attributed to a Criegee rearrangement (+14 u) of levoglucosan, initiated by , forming a lactone (176 u). The acid-catalyzed reaction of any ROH from levoglucosan (+162 u) forms an ester through transesterification of the lactone functionality, whereupon propagation forms polyesters. Proposed products and chemical mechanisms are suggested as sources and precursors of humic-like substances (HULIS), which are known to possess a large saccharic component and are possibly formed from biomass burning aerosols (Andreae, Global Biomass Burning, MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 3–21, 1991).     

Nb/Ta fractionation observed in eclogites from the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Project

This paper reports detailed analyses of Nb and Ta concentrations of 19 eclogite samples and their principal mineral constituents from the main drill hole of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Project (CCSD) and nearby outcrops. We observe highly fractionated and overall suprachondritic Nb/Ta values in minerals, e.g., rutile (4.8–87), titanite (12–62) and amphibole (2.0–67). Amphiboles in amphibolites (retrograded from eclogite) can be classified into two groups: a low Nb/Ta group that bears higher Al contents and is thus of higher pressure origin, and a high Nb/Ta, lower pressure group. The former group was likely formed during subduction; the latter may have formed during exhumation in the presence of rutile and titanite. The significant Nb/Ta fractionation in rutile and other minerals may reflect early dehydration of the subducted slab at shallow depths before the formation of rutile, which occurs at depths ≥50 km. The dehydration, with amphiboles existing as the main Nb–Ta-bearing phase, would lead to Nb/Ta fractionation, i.e., forming subchondritic Nb/Ta ratios in the released fluids and, complementarily, suprachondritic Nb/Ta ratios in the residual phases. While a large proportion of the fluids may escape from the slab to the mantle wedge, considerable amounts of the fluids can be retained in hydrous minerals within the descending slab, thus forming hydrated cold eclogites with subchondritic Nb/Ta characteristics. As subduction continues to depths over 50 km, rutile appears and consequently controls the Nb–Ta budget. In the presence of rutile, melting of the hydrated cold eclogites with very low Nb/Ta ratios would form magmas with negative Nb, Ta anomalies and subchondritic Nb/Ta. Further dehydration of the continuously descending slab results in even more fractionated Nb/Ta ratios in subsequently released fluids and residues, providing a feasible explanation for the large Nb/Ta variation observed in the modern arc magmas and residual eclogites.     

苏鲁芝麻坊超镁铁岩的岩石成因:大陆科学钻探卫星孔(CCSD-PP1)岩心研究

苏鲁超高压变质带(UHP)中的芝麻坊超基性岩体是一个不寻常的地幔岩块,由高度亏损的橄榄岩组成,因地幔交代作用而富集REE和LILE.岩体由交替出现的石榴石橄榄岩和不含石榴石橄榄岩层组成.2种类型的岩石具有许多共同的成分特征,并在相同的温压p-T条件下形成.岩石记录了数期地质事件,但没有进变质作用的证据.平衡矿物对计算出的p-T条件为6~7GPa.发生在中元古代的部分熔融的差异造成了互层状的2种岩石类型.橄榄岩中锆石220Ma的U—Pb同位素年龄记录了扬子板块和北中国板块碰撞,但此年龄也许并不代表岩石UHP变质峰期的年龄,而可能记录了俯冲带中地幔楔的碎块从深部折返时的年龄.我们认为石榴石可能不是由于俯冲变质作用形成,有可能是岩石从地幔深部上升过程中从斜方辉石中出溶而成。      

韧性剪切带中片麻岩和超高压榴辉岩变形特征及其与地震波速各向异性的关系：来自中国大陆科学钻探（CCSD）680～1200米岩心的证据

中国大陆科学钻探(CCSD)680-1200米区段发育了多个韧性剪切带,带中主要岩石类型包括片麻岩和超高压榴辉岩。片麻岩中的变形石英、面理化榴辉岩中的拉长石榴石和绿辉石的应变轴比都表现为X>Y>Z,Flinn系数分别为0.11-0.27、0.22-0.23和0.23-0.24。随着糜棱岩化作用的增强,变形石英的C轴组构由Z轴极密逐渐向Y轴极密和叶理面上的大圆环带转变。在常温常压下测试了样品的波速,计算出片麻岩Vp和Vs的各向异性分别为30.17％-60.97％和11.52％-35.79％,榴辉岩Vp和Vs的各向异性分别为0.17％-11.19％和2.41％-6.70％。影响各向异性的主要因素有岩石的结构构造、矿物的晶格优选方位(LPO)、形态优选方位(SPO)和定向微裂隙。随着糜棱岩化作用的增强,岩石的P波各向异性逐 渐升高。变形岩石中的黑云母、石英、绿辉石的LPO和SPO是地震波各向异性的主要控制因素。饱水后的片麻岩样品的P波各向异性明显低于干燥片麻岩样品。在东海钻井中的强反射带主要是由于不同岩层之间的波阻抗差异而造成的,榴辉岩/强退变榴辉岩和黑云斜长片麻岩之间的接触界面会产生较强的地震深反射。此外,与LPO相关的地震波各向异性会增强地震波的反射,所以韧性剪切带中的糜棱岩化片麻岩可能是地震反射的良好载体。韧性剪切带中岩石弹性波速度的强各向     

CCSD主孔微破裂脉次生包裹体的均一温度

CCSD主孔中发育有十分丰富的脆性变形现象,按其充填特征大致可划分有石英和方解石充填的微破裂、有矿物薄膜的微破裂和既无矿物充填、又无矿物簿膜的微破裂等3大类.石英微破裂脉和方解石微破裂脉次生包裹体的均一温度分别为110℃～215℃和90℃～190℃,表明前者的形成要早于后者,按现代地热梯度23.4℃/km估算,两者的形成深度分别为4.7～9.2km和3.8～8.1km,9.2km大致可作为宏观上岩石圈发生脆性变形的最大深度或岩石圈由韧性变形域向脆性变形域过渡的界线.片麻岩、榴辉岩和超基性岩微破裂脉的次生包裹体均一温度显示三者由韧性变形域向脆性变形域过渡的深度是不一致的,依次为9.2km、8.5km和8.1km,反映主孔主要岩石类型的脆性变形行为存在有一定差异.根据微破裂的充填物特征和相互切割关系,大致可确定主孔中脆性破裂的形成深度和先后关系石英微破裂脉,形成最早,深度为4.7～9.2km,方解石微破裂脉的形成深度为3.8～8.1km,8.1km以上开始出现有矿物薄膜的微破裂,既无矿物充填、又无矿物簿膜的微破裂则是地壳深度3.8km以上的主要脆性变形构造类型.可见,微破裂次生包裹体的均一温度或许可作为宏观上建立CCSD主孔脆性变形构造剖面的重要依据之一.     

江苏东海CCSD主孔超高压变形与折返变形的叠加关系

位于苏鲁超高压变质地体南部的中国大陆科学钻探工程（CCSD）主孔岩石经历了超高压变形及多期折返变形。第一期折返变形为伸展折返变形,榴辉岩发生角闪岩相退变质作用,没有新生面理或线理的发育,基本保留了超高压阶段的S-L组构,并有显示熔融体特征的强退变榴辉岩发育。第二期折返变形为SEE-NWW向挤压折返变形,超高压变形期形成的不同岩石类型在本期变形中表现出不同的叠加变形现象,榴辉岩类岩石早期形成的S倾面理主体部分转为SEE倾,但拉伸线理产状与超高压变形期的近SN走向基本一致,反映早期面理沿NNE轴向的重褶作用,局部又被向SEE缓倾的韧性剪切带切割;而片麻岩类岩石在超高压变形期形成的S-L组构的主体部分已被新生成的总体向SEE缓倾的S-L组构置换,反映早期面理不仅重褶,而且大部分再度发生韧性剪切变形,具SEE向NWW的逆冲剪切指向,矿物普遍重新定向。第三期折返变形发育具NWW向SEE正滑剪切指向的韧性剪切带,并伴随大量“Z”型褶皱构造的发育。第四期折返变形以NWW向SEE正滑的张性或张扭性脆性断裂活动为主。探讨了苏鲁超高压变质地体折返变形的力学机制及CCSD主孔岩石面理变化的形成机制。
