40Ar/39Ar traverse — Grenville Front Tectonic Zone to Britt Domain,Grenville Province,Ontario, Canada*

Abstract ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar data (on hornblende, muscovite and K-feldspar) are presented for samples from the western Grenville Province taken along a 140-km traverse from the Grenville Front into the Britt domain. Our interpretation is based on 28 new analyses, synthesized with 20 previously reported from the traverse area. In regions where comparisons are possible, muscovite and (large domain) K-feldspar apparent ages appear similar (at c. 920–930 Ma), but throughout the traverse, these are c. 60–70 Myr younger than the hornblende ages. The inferred cooling rate over the c. 350–500°C temperature range, c.2°C Myr^-1, is appropriate for exhumation controlled by post-orogenic erosional unroofing. At the Grenville Front Tectonic Zone (GFTZ) — Britt domain boundary there is a c. 25-Myr offset in both hornblende and muscovite/K-feldspar ages. We interpret the lower ages in the Britt domain to reflect variations in crustal thickness and geothermal gradient between the flank and interior of a thick orogen. The argon data from the GFTZ are interpreted in the context of an asymmetric crustal-scale antiformal structure developed during a late episode of convergence. Hornblende from rocks on either side of the core of the antiform has an apparent age of c. 990 Ma, our estimate of the age of the compressional event. In the west, we infer that these date the short-lived thermal event associated with the development of the crustal-scale antiform previously postulated. In the east, the ages reflect the cooling of material brought toward the surface in the flank of the antiform. Hornblendes from the antiform core appear to contain excess radiogenic argon. We suggest that this was the ambient argon in rocks transported from depth that was subsequently trapped when the rocks cooled rapidly.     

Pb Isotope Compositions of Shibaqinghao Gold Deposit in Central Inner Mongolia,China

There are two types of gold ore in Shibaqinghao gold deposit, a mylonite ore and a quartz - vein ore. Pb isotope compositions for mylonite ore are characterized by lower Pb isotope ratios ranging from 16. 63 to 17.45 (206Pb/204Pb) , 15. 31 tol5.48 (207Pb/204Pb) , 36.52 to38.85 (208Pb/204Pb). They are scattered very close to a model curve of the mantle evolu-tion. These ratios suggest that gold in the mylonite ore might be derived from the country rocks, which originated directly in the upper mantle. Pb isotope compositions for quartz - vein ore are characterized by higher Pb isotope ratios ranging from 18.23 to 19.74 (206Pb/204Pb) , 15. 69 to 15. 89(207Pb/204Pb) , 38. 64 to 40. 13 (208Pb/204Pb). They are scattered very close to a model curve of the upper crustal evolution. These facts indicate that the gold in the quartz - vein ore might be relat-ed to some granitic magma generated in the crust.     

Geology and Mineralogy of the Baolun Hydrothermal Gold Deposit in the Hainan Island, South China

Abstract. The Baolun quartz vein type Au deposit, is located at the southwestern Hainan Island. It occurs next to a Triassic ilmenite-series/S-type syenogranite complex. A ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau age for muscovite from the master orebody is dated to be 219.4±0.6 Ma, suggesting that the gold deposit genetically related to the granite pluton. In the Baolun mining area, orebodies of auriferous quartz vein and wall rock alteration occur in NNW-striking fracture zones hosted by weakly metamorphosed turbidite of the Lower Silurian age. Eight fracture zones, 400∼1300 m long and 10∼30 m wide, have been identified. The five fracture zones of them form orebodies. The ores are mainly of quartz vein type. More than 20 orebodies in shapes of vein and lens of 195∼751 m in length and 0.20∼7.49 m in thickness are known, and 14 of them occur in the No. 1 vein belt. Silicification, sericitization and pyritization are closely related to the Au mineralization. The ores exhibit commonly 1.54∼29.48 g/t in Au grade, partially >98 g/t. The master orebody is 720 m long and 2.62 m thick in average, with 9.53∼29.27 g/t Au. Gold reserves of more than 70 t have been proven by geological exploration. More than 20 metallic minerals including native gold and sulfides such as pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and others are identified to be formed in four ore-forming stages: (1) Au-coarse grain quartz stage, (2) Au-fine grained quartz stage, (3) Au-bismuthide-bismuth sulfosalt-sulfide-quartz stage, and (4) calcite-sulfide-quartz stage. The Au mineralization in this deposit occurred mainly in the first three stages. A variety of Bi- and Te-bearing minerals is closely associated with native gold suggesting that the mineralization may take place in a relatively high temperature.

脉侧蚀变演化与钨的成矿关系

云英岩化形成于富含挥发组份和氧逸度较高的酸性环境中,钾长石化形成于缺乏挥发组份的碱性条件下。富云母云英岩化和钾长石化为不同条件下的钾质交代蚀变作用,富石英云英岩化和硅化为不同条件下的硅质交代蚀变作用。单纯云英岩化或钾长石化,对钨矿化都不一定有利,而云英岩化外侧具钾长石化锒边,以及钾长石化外侧尚存在富石英云英岩化或硅化时,钨等矿化相对富集。

准噶尔盆地石炭-二叠系方解石脉的碳、氧、锶同位素组成与含油气流体运移

在准噶尔盆地当前油气勘探的重点目标区西北缘和腹部地区,油气主要源于深部石炭系—二叠系。通过对其中的典型水岩反应产物,即裂隙方解石脉进行碳、氧、锶同位素组成分析,尝试讨论了油源流体运移的基本特征。实验结果表明,25件方解石脉样品的δ13CPDB位于－21.5‰~ 5.2‰之间,δ18OPDB(δ18OSMOW)在－8.1‰～－22.3‰(22.6‰~ 6.9‰)之间;20个87Sr/86Sr比值分布在0.703 896～0.706 423之间。据此,结合样品地质产状和区域地质背景,提出本区含油气流体在运移过程中伴随着深部热流体的影响,它们在流经石炭—二叠系时,对火山岩层的溶蚀使得流体岩石相互作用产物,即方解石脉的同位素组成反映出火山岩地层的地球化学标记。该认识表明,在今后的区域储层成岩演化和油气运移研究工作中,应充分考虑这类深部热流体作用的影响。     

High-Pressure Melting of Eclogite and the P-T-X History of Tonalitic to Trondhjemitic Zoisite-Pegmatites, Munchberg Massif, Germany

Zoisite-bearing high-pressure pegmatites from the MünchbergMassif, Germany, provide an excellent example of the characteristicsof the onset of metabasite melting at eclogite-facies conditions.The pegmatites were derived by partial melting of a mid-oceanridge basalt (MORB)-like eclogite at T 680°C/2·3GPa to 750°C/3·1 GPa, which produced small amountsof tonalitic to trondhjemitic melt. The melt concentrated locallyin isolated, small melt pockets and crystallized primary zoisiteas liquidus phase at P 2·3 GPa/680°C to 2·1GPa/750°C. Compositional zoning of pegmatite zoisite recordsan ensuing multi-stage uplift history with successive, discretecrystallization events at 1·4 ± 0·2 GPa/650–700°Cand 1·0 ± 0·1 GPa/620–650°C.Resorption textures indicate reheating and thermal perturbationof the whole system prior to each successive crystallizationevent. Final solidification of zoisite-pegmatites occurred at0·9 ± 0·1 GPa/620–650°C. Thedata suggest that isolated melt + zoisite crystal mush pocketsformed an integral part of the eclogite throughout uplift frommelt formation at T 680°C/2·3 GPa to 750°C/3·1GPa to final solidification at 0·9 GPa/620–630°C;that is, over a depth range of 45–60 km. The entire pegmatite-formingprocess was probably fluid conserving: fluid present duringmelt formation was trapped by fully or nearly water-saturatedsiliceous melts, whereas fluid liberated during pegmatite crystallizationinteracted with dehydrated eclogite-facies assemblages to formamphibolite-facies hydrous minerals. A set of empirical D^{melt/eclogite}values based on mean zoisite-pegmatite and eclogite compositionwere used to model the onset of partial high-pressure meltingof metabasites.
