内蒙古西乌旗迪彦庙蛇绿岩带内辉长岩地球化学及年代学

内蒙古西乌旗迪彦庙蛇绿岩位于二连浩特—贺根山蛇绿岩带与交其尔—锡林浩特蛇绿岩带一线之间,大地构造位于中亚造山带中段的锡林浩特晚古生代褶皱带。本文主要对其内的辉长岩进行了地球化学及年代学研究。研究结果表明：辉长岩w（SiO₂）为45.49%~50.48%,w（Al₂O₃）为13.31%~17.05%,w（K₂O）为0.01%~0.65%,w（Na₂O）为0.30%~4.15%,w（CaO）为8.00%~19.54%,w（MgO）为5.22%~10.92%,w（P₂O₅）为0.03%~0.23%,显示西乌旗迪彦庙蛇绿岩中的辉长岩属于高铝、低钾、低钠的拉斑系列;辉长岩的稀土元素总量低,重稀土元素比轻稀土元素富集,微量元素Nb、Zr、Hf、Ti相对亏损,K、Ta、Sr相对富集;La-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年获得辉长岩的年龄为（345.3±2.3）Ma,为早石炭世。综合分析,辉长岩可能为受到俯冲作用产生的流体交代而成,而并非结晶分异作用所致;迪彦庙蛇绿岩形成环境为弧前环境。     

Testing final closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean along the Solonker suture by a transition of compressional and extensional setting

The giant Central Asian Orogenic Belt is an extensive accretionary orogen, of which the Solonker suture, as a major regional suture, coincides closely with an early Permian paleobiogeographical boundary. This suture is considered to mark the location of the final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean between the North China Craton and the Mongolian Terrane. Although the closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean along the Solonker suture has generally been regarded as Late Permian–Early Triassic, uncertainty remains because of a lack of typical collision-related features (e.g., high-grade regional metamorphism and well-developed fold–thrust structures) and a scarcity of outcrops.The present study reports Early Permian foliated gabbros and dikes (288–275 Ma) and Middle-Late Permian undeformed layered gabbros, strongly peraluminous granites, and I-type granites (265–254 Ma) in the Xinhure area along the northern margin of the North China Craton. The Early Permian foliated intrusions have a subduction-related geochemical signature and were derived from partial melting of lithospheric mantle modified by subduction-related melts or fluids at the active margin of the North China Craton. In contrast, the Late Permian undeformed layered gabbros and strongly peraluminous granites were derived from partial melting of lithospheric mantle and middle–upper crust, respectively, triggered by asthenospheric upwelling. Therefore, a transition from an end-compressional to an extensional environment according to a transition from collision termination to post-collision of the North China Craton and Mongolian Terrane may have occurred between 275 Ma and 262 Ma. This time span can be considered as the final closure time of the Paleo-Asian Ocean along the Solonker suture.     

Experimental study of ore gabbro liquid immiscibility

The magma immiscibility is that an originallyuniform magma split into two liquids with differentcompositions and properties because of the changes oftemperature, pressure and composition in the mag-matic processes. The phenomenon is ubiquitous in thenature and industrial production. For example, magmaimmiscibility has been widely regarded as the mainmechanism of formation of the Cu-Ni sulphide depositAs early as the 1920s, some geologists[1] noted that anon-silicate magma, which is mainly com…     

Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd isotopic studies of mafic igneous rocks from the Ryoke plutono-metamorphic belt in the Setouchi area, Southwest Japan: implications for the genesis and thermal history

Abstract Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd isochron ages were determined for whole rocks and mineral separates of hornblende‐gabbros and related metadiabases and quartz‐diorite from Shodoshima, Awashima and Kajishima islands in the Ryoke plutono‐metamorphic belt of the Setouchi area, Southwest Japan. The Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd whole‐rock‐mineral isochron ages for six samples range from 75 to 110 Ma and 200–220 Ma, respectively. The former ages are comparable with the Rb–Sr whole‐rock isochron ages reported from neighboring Ryoke granitic rocks and are thus due to thermal metamorphism caused by the granitic intrusions. On the contrary, the older ages suggest the time of formation of the gabbroic and related rocks. The initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd ratios of the gabbroic rocks (0.7070–0.7078 and 0.51217–0.51231 at 210 Ma, respectively) are comparable with those of neighboring late Cretaceous granites and lower crustal granulite xenoliths from Cenozoic andesites in this region. Because the gabbroic rocks are considered to be fragments of the lower crustal materials interlayered in the granulitic lower crust, their isotopic signature has been inherited from an enriched mantle source or, less likely, acquired through interaction with the lower crustal materials. The Sr and Nd isotopic and petrologic evidence leads to a plausible conclusion that the gabbroic rocks have formed as cumulates from hydrous mafic magmas of light rare earth element‐rich (Sm/Nd < 0.233) and enriched isotopic (?_Sr > 0 and ?_Nd < 0) signature, which possibly generated around 220–200 Ma by partial melting of an upper mantle. We further conclude that they are fragments of refractory material from the lower crust caught up as xenoblocks by granitic magmas, the latter having been generated by partial melting of granulitic lower crustal material around 100 Ma.     

赣东北蛇绿岩形成时代及构造环境——樟树墩辉长岩锆石U_Pb年龄、Hf同位素和地球化学约束

赣东北蛇绿岩是华南最重要的前寒武纪蛇绿岩之一,本文对其中的樟树墩辉长岩进行了年代学、岩石地球化学及锆石Hf同位素研究。LA_ICP_MS锆石U_Pb测年结果显示樟树墩辉长岩结晶年龄为1 061±44 Ma,代表了洋盆扩张的年龄,也即赣东北蛇绿岩的形成年龄。单颗粒锆石原位Hf同位素分析得到樟树墩辉长岩εHf(t)=6.22~9.94,平均值为8.10,略低于结晶时亏损地幔值;单阶段亏损地幔Hf模式年龄tDM1为1.21~1.41 Ga,平均为1.28Ga,明显大于成岩年龄1 061 Ma。地球化学及锆石Hf同位素结果显示赣东北蛇绿岩地幔具有E-MORB的特点,表明这些辉长岩起源于未发生大规模熔融的初始地幔,推测赣东北蛇绿岩可能形成于古洋盆初始裂解阶段的洋脊环境,赣东北蛇绿岩为MOR型蛇绿岩。

为探讨扬子陆块东南缘新元古代岩浆活动的性质,选择浙江金华罗店深成杂岩中的中基性岩石,开展了系统的岩石学、地球化学、同位素地球化学和年代学研究,发现该深成杂岩中存在富铌辉长岩和高镁闪长岩等典型的岛弧地区岩浆岩。富铌辉长岩相对富P_2O_5、Ti O_2和Nb,原始地幔标准化La/Nb1.3,类似于太古宙和古生代富铌玄武岩。采用LA-ICP-MS技术测得高镁闪长岩的锆石U-Pb年龄为848±10Ma,相对富Mg O、低Ti O_2,Mg~#62.5,富Cr而贫Sr、Y和重稀土元素,接近于日本Setouchi火山岩带的中新世高镁安山岩和阿留申西部的Piip型高镁安山岩。而且,二者均富集Rb、Ba、K、Pb等大离子亲石元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素,εNd(t)+2.92,相应的ISr介于0.70308~0.70474之间,推测二者成因均与俯冲板片部分熔融的熔体交代地幔楔橄榄岩再熔融有关。综合区域地质资料及前人研究成果认为,扬子陆块东南缘至848Ma左右仍存在明显的岛弧岩浆活动,这对认识华南前寒武纪的大地构造格局及其演化具有重要意义。

Petrology and Mineral Chemistry of Lower Crustal Intrusions: the Chilas Complex, Kohistan (NW Pakistan)

Mineral major and trace element data are presented for the mainrock units of the Chilas Complex, a series of lower crustalintrusions emplaced during initial rifting within the MesozoicKohistan (paleo)-island arc (NW Pakistan). Detailed field observationsand petrological analysis, together with geochemical data, indicatethat the two principal units, ultramafic rocks and gabbronoritesequences, originate from a common parental magma, but evolvedalong different mineral fractionation trends. Phase petrologyand mineral trace element data indicate that the fractionationsequence of the ultramafic rocks is dominated by the crystallizationof olivine and clinopyroxene prior to plagioclase, whereas plagioclaseprecedes clinopyroxene in the gabbronorites. Clinopyroxene inthe ultramafic rocks (with Mg-number [Mg/(Fe_tot + Mg] up to0·95) displays increasing Al₂O₃ with decreasing Mg-number.The light rare earth element depleted trace element pattern(Ce_N/Gd_N 0·5–0·3) of primitive clinopyroxenesdisplays no Eu anomaly. In contrast, clinopyroxenes from thegabbronorites contain plagioclase inclusions, and the traceelement pattern shows pronounced negative anomalies for Sr,Pb and Eu. Trace element modeling indicates that in situ crystallizationmay account for major and trace element variations in the gabbronoritesequence, whereas the olivine-dominated ultramafic rocks showcovariations between olivine Mg-number and Ni and Mn contents,pointing to the importance of crystal fractionation during theirformation. A modeled parental liquid for the Chilas Complexis explained in terms of mantle- and slab-derived components,where the latter component accounts for 99% of the highly incompatibleelements and between 30 and 80% of the middle rare earth elements.The geochemical characteristics of this component are similarto those of a low percentage melt or supercritical liquid derivedfrom subducted mafic crust. However, elevated Pb/Ce ratios arebest explained by additional involvement of hydrous fluids.In accordance with the crystallization sequence, the subsolidusmetamorphic reactions indicate pressures of 0·5–0·7GPa. Our data support a model of combined flux and decompressionmelting in the back-arc. KEY WORDS: Kohistan; Island arc; gabbro; trace element modelling; lower crustal intrusion     

The age and tectonic setting of the Lukinda dunite-gabbro-anorthosite massif in the east of the Selenga-Stanovoi superterrane,Central Asian Fold Belt

Results of integrated ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar, Rb-Sr, and Sm-Nd geochronological studies of the Lukinda dunite-troctolite-gabbro-anorthosite massif in the northeast of the Selenga-Stanovoi superterrane, Central Asian Fold Belt, are presented. It is shown that this massif is much younger than formerly thought: 249 ± 14 to 251 ± 15 Ma vs. Paleoproterozoic. This date of magmatism corresponds to one of the stages of the formation of the Selenga-Vitim belt, which ranks among the largest Phanerozoic volcanoplutonic belts in Central Asia.
