Late-Stage Mafic Injection and Thermal Rejuvenation of the Vinalhaven Granite, Coastal Maine

The Vinalhaven intrusive complex consists mainly of coarse-grainedgranite, inward-dipping gabbro–diorite sheets, and a fine-grainedgranite core. Small bodies of porphyry occur throughout thecoarse-grained granite. The largest porphyry body (roughly 0·5km by 2·5 km) occurs with coeval gabbro, hybrid rocks,and minor fine-grained granite in the Vinal Cove complex, whichformed during the waning stages of solidification of the coarse-grainedVinalhaven granite. Porphyry contacts with surrounding coarse-grainedgranite are irregular and gradational. Compositions of wholerocks and minerals in the porphyry and the coarse-grained graniteare nearly identical. Neighboring phenocrysts in the porphyryvary greatly in degree of corrosion and reaction, indicatingthat the porphyry was well stirred. Thermal rejuvenation ofa silicic crystal mush by a basaltic influx can explain thecomposition and texture of the porphyry. Comparable rejuvenationevents have been recognized in recent studies of erupted rocks.Weakly corroded biotite phenocrysts in the porphyry requirethat hydrous interstitial melt existed in the granite duringremelting. Field relations, along with thermal calculations,suggest that cooling and crystallization of coeval mafic magmacould have generated the porphyry by thermal rejuvenation ofgranite crystal-mush containing about 20% melt. Field relationsalso suggest that some of the porphyry matrix may representnew felsic magma that was emplaced during remelting.

蒙古国东南部巴音苏赫图晚古生代—早中生代二长花岗岩地球化学特征及其对构造环境的约束

巴音苏赫图二长花岗岩位于西伯利亚板块东南缘陆缘增生带与二连—贺根山板块对接带北缘之间。该岩体由石炭纪及三叠—侏罗纪两期花岗岩组成,均以高硅、富Al2O3、K2O、Na2O,贫MgO、CaO为特征。微量元素表现为富集LILE、亏损HFSE。弱富集LREE,Eu负异常明显。岩石学和地球化学综合研究表明:两期花岗岩早期为高钾钙碱性、准铝质-过铝质花岗岩碰撞期I型花岗岩,晚期花岗岩具有A型花岗岩特点。Sr-Nd同位素研究表明:石炭纪二长花岗岩(87Sr/86Sr)i比值较低(0.700 62～0.704 82),εNd(t)为正值(0.9～1.5),岩浆来自于增生的岛弧或年轻的幔源物质,在岩浆上升过程中遭受了少量地壳物质的混染;晚三叠世—早侏罗世花岗岩(87Sr/86Sr)i比值较高(0.709 96～0.710 19),εNd(t)较低,为-0.3～0.3,该期次花岗岩与晚石炭世花岗岩同源,受地壳混染程度相对较高。应用LA-ICP-MS法测得石炭纪花岗岩U-Pb年龄为(296±3.5)Ma,结合区域构造演化特点及所测三叠纪花岗岩的地球化学特征认为,在晚石炭世,南蒙古额尔德尼查干地区已进入碰撞期构造环境,在三叠—侏罗纪仍有同碰撞花岗岩侵入,晚石炭世以后的碰撞期持续时间较长。     

Geochemical characteristics,cooling history and mineralization significance of Zhangtiantang pluton in South Jiangxi Province,P.R. China

The zircon SHRIMP dating of the Zhangtiantang granite gave an age of 159±7 Ma., which shows that the granite was produced at the early Late Jurassic. The Ar-Ar plateau ages of biotite and K-feldspar from the Zhangtiantang pluton are 153.2±1.1 Ma and 135.8±1.2 Ma, respectively. The Ar-Ar anti-isochrone ages of biotite and K-feldspar are 152.5±1.7Ma and 135.4±2.7Ma, respectively. The ages represent the isotopic closure ages of minerals in the pluton. The Zhangtiantang granites are regarded as peraluminous crust-derived type granites to possess the typical geochemical characteristics of calc-alkaline rocks on continental margin, with enriched Si, K, Al (average value of A/CNK as 1.18), HREE, Rb, U, and Th, heavily depleted V, Cr, Co, Ni, Ti, Nb-Ta, Zr, Sr, P, and Ba, strongly negative Eu and common corundum normative (average value of C as 1.84). The εNd_(t) values of the Zhangtiantang granite are −5.84 to −7.79, and t _2DM values are 1.69 to 1.83 Ga, which indicates partial melting of continental-crust metamorphic sedimentary rocks during the Middle Proterozoic. The cooling history of the Zhangtiantang granitic pluton indicates that the cooling velocity of pluton was faster (about 67°C/Ma) from zircon (158 Ma) to biotite (152 Ma), and was slower (about12°C/Ma) from biotite (152.5 Ma) to K-feldspar (135.8 Ma). It can be deduced that the temporal gap (about 10 Ma) between the granite formmation and W-Sn mineralization in South China may be related to ordinary magma-hydrothermal processes by the variational cooling curve of the pluton. The Zhangtiantang pluton was formed in a compressive setting, with differentiation evolution and mineralization occurring in a relative relaxation setting.     

Relationships between texture and mechanical properties of hybrid rocks from the Jaala–Iitti complex, southeastern Finland

The relationships between petrographical and mechanical properties of rock aggregate raw materials from the hybridised, subvolcanic Jaala–Iitti complex, southeastern Finland, were investigated. Petrography was quantified from polished thin sections with a polarising microscope to determine the modal composition and grain size distribution, and resistance to fragmentation and abrasion were determined. Abundance of fine-grained minerals (especially of hornblende), fine grain size-dominated grain size distribution, uniform spatial dispersion of hornblende crystals, and intense micrographic intergrowth texture with interlocking grain boundaries were found to have the greatest positive influence on the mechanical properties. The results showed the potentiality of hybridised rocks as raw materials for high quality aggregates that can resist fragmentation and abrasion.

内蒙古乌拉山地区沙德盖岩体年代学、地球化学特征及成因探讨

沙德盖岩体位于华北克拉通北缘中段、哈达门沟大型金（钼）矿田范围内。首次利用锆石 SHRIMP U-Pb法对其定年,获得15个锆石颗粒²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U年龄的加权平均值（221.6±2.1） Ma（MSWD=1.6）,表明岩体侵位于印支中期。岩石地球化学特征表现为高硅（SiO₂质量分数为71.21%～73.67%）、富钾（K₂O/Na₂O为1.01～1.37）、富碱（K₂O+Na₂O为8.23%～9.96%）、弱过铝质（Al₂O₃为13.11%～14.31%）,里特曼指数σ=2.43～3.52,钙碱性-碱性;富集轻稀土（LREE/HREE为17.68～14.92,（La/Yb）|_N为22.85～16.58）和Eu略亏损（δEu=0.95～0.93）;微量元素亏损Nb、Ta、P、Ti、Sr,富集K、La、Ce、Hf等元素,具有A型花岗岩特征;(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)i=0.705 31～0.702 29,(¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd)_i=0.511 682～0.511 620,ε_Nd(t)=-13.1～-14.3,具有壳源特点;钕两阶段模式年龄T_2DM=2 061～2 160 Ma,在铅构造模式图上样品投点于地幔与下地壳之间。综合分析认为其形成于同碰撞向后碰撞构造体制转换,伸展构造和幔源基性岩浆的底侵导致早期古老基底地壳部分熔融,很可能是形成沙德盖岩体的主要动力机制。华北克拉通北缘印支期构造岩浆活动及成矿作用是普遍存在的。     

花岗岩浆侵位与结晶固化时差的研究与构造意义:以南岭骑田岭花岗岩基为例

通过对南岭中段骑田岭花岗岩基地质-岩石地球化学特征研究, 判明了该岩基的侵位深度（5.5 km）、围岩温度（196℃）及岩浆初始温度（950 ℃ ）,建立起骑田岭花岗岩基的数学计算模型,计算得出： 骑田岭花岗岩熔体侵位后,其初始温度降低至结晶温度所需的时间（Δt col） 为4.1 Ma;由于结晶潜热释放而使结晶过程延长的时间（Δt L）为2.6 Ma; 由于骑田岭花岗岩基放射性元素含量 （U-15.3×10-6,Th-51.35×10-6,K2O-5.02%）是世界平均花岗岩放射性元素含量（U-5×10-6,Th-20×10-6,K2O-2.66%）的2~3 倍,骑田岭花岗岩浆侵位后产生的放射成因热使结晶过程延长的时间（Δt A） 为35.4 Ma,远长于世界平均花岗岩计算的Δt A（2.93 Ma） 。因此, 骑田岭花岗岩基的岩浆侵位- 结晶固化时差 （Δt ECTD）为42.1 Ma, 结合锆石U-Pb 年龄值（161 Ma）, 通过反演计算得出骑田岭花岗岩基侵位年龄值（t E ）为203.1 Ma,从而为骑田岭花岗岩基属于印支期侵位提供了重要的岩浆动力学佐证。     

东准噶尔库布苏南岩体中闪长质包体特征及地质意义

新疆东准噶尔卡拉麦里地区库布苏南晚古生代后碰撞准铝质过铝质花岗闪长岩体中广泛发育大量的暗色微粒闪长质包体.岩石学、矿物学、主量元素和微量元素地球化学研究表明,包体在地球化学特征上表现为与寄主花岗岩既相互联系又受其制约.库布苏南花岗闪长岩体具有低锶初始比值I(Sr)和正εNd(t)值,表明花岗岩的来源有地幔物质参与,而大量发育的暗色微粒闪长质包体是壳幔岩浆混合作用最直接的证据,微粒包体是基性源岩部分熔融作用形成的残余体.与准噶尔碱性花岗岩一样,载荷包体的准铝质过铝质花岗岩是晚古生代后碰撞阶段构造岩浆活动的岩石类型之一,其形成和演化标志了准噶尔地区后碰撞幔源岩浆底侵作用导致大陆地壳垂向生长的过程.     

浙东白垩纪北漳和梁弄花岗岩体及其暗色岩石包体研究

浙东地区晚中生代花岗岩类在岩性上分为三类：花岗岩-二长花岗岩、钾长花岗岩和A型花岗岩。对后两类花岗岩已有较多研究,但对前一类,尤其是二长花岗岩的研究还较薄弱。选择浙东具代表性的北漳和梁弄二长花岗岩体及其所含暗色岩石包体,以及共生的石英闪长岩类,通过系统的岩石学与地球化学对比研究,提出浙东二长花岗岩属准铝质、高钾钙碱性Ⅰ型花岗岩类演化系列,暗色岩石包体是由花岗质岩浆在深部析离出的镁铁质微粒包体(MME),成分特征类似于石英闪长岩,说明三者具内在成因联系,均与俯冲作用关系密切。
