New Olivine Reference Material for In Situ Microanalysis

A new olivine reference material – MongOL Sh11‐2 – for in situ analysis has been prepared from the central portion of a large (20 × 20 × 10 cm) mantle peridotite xenolith from a ~ 0.5 My old basaltic breccia at Shavaryn‐Tsaram, Tariat region, central Mongolia. The xenolith is a fertile mantle lherzolite with minimal signs of alteration. Approximately 10 g of 0.5–2 mm gem quality olivine fragments were separated under binocular microscope and analysed by EPMA, LA‐ICP‐MS, SIMS and bulk analytical methods (ID‐ICP‐MS for Mg and Fe, XRF, ICP‐MS) for major, minor and trace elements at six institutions world‐wide. The results show that the olivine fragments are sufficiently homogeneous with respect to major (Mg, Fe, Si), minor and trace elements. Significant inhomogeneity was revealed only for phosphorus (homogeneity index of 12.4), whereas Li, Na, Al, Sc, Ti and Cr show minor inhomogeneity (homogeneity index of 1–2). The presence of some mineral and fluid‐melt micro‐inclusions may be responsible for the inconsistency in mass fractions obtained by in situ and bulk analytical methods for Al, Cu, Sr, Zr, Ga, Dy and Ho. Here we report reference and information values for twenty‐seven major, minor and trace elements.     

西昆仑慕士塔格-公格尔印支期侵入岩岩石与锆石地球化学特征及研究意义

西昆仑造山带南侧的麻扎-康西瓦缝合带,是古特提斯洋闭合的位置。慕士塔格-公格尔作为昆仑山的主峰,紧邻该缝合带的东北侧分布,主要岩性为花岗闪长岩和黑云母二长花岗岩。作者系统研究了两种岩性的地球化学及年代学特征,探讨了岩石成因,反演了古特提斯洋的构造演化历史。岩体岩浆锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb测年结果显示,花岗闪长岩和黑云母二长花岗岩的成岩年龄分别为(213.0±0.5)~(215.4±0.9)Ma和(220.6±0.5)~(222.1±0.4)Ma,是晚三叠世岩浆活动的产物。两种岩性均为高硅(w(SiO2)65%)、富碱(w(K2O+Na2O)6%)、钙碱性-高钾钙碱性、准铝质(A/CNK1),富集大离子亲石元素(LILE)和轻稀土元素(LREE),亏损高场强元素(HFSE)和重稀土(HREE)。微量元素组成特征、低锆石饱和温度及高分异指数显示慕士塔格-公格尔花岗岩体为高分异I型花岗岩。岩体锆石的εHf(t)值变化范围较小,为-4.46~-0.17,指示岩浆以壳源为主。综合研究表明,慕士塔格-公格尔花岗岩体可能是同碰撞造山环境下,老的下地壳受地幔热源影响部分熔融,形成的长英质壳源岩浆侵入地壳内部而冷却结晶形成。     

湖南紫云山岩体的地质地球化学特征及其成因意义

紫云山岩体由花岗闪长岩和黑云母花岗岩两种岩石类型组成,前者为岩体的主体,呈环状分布于岩体的周边,发育同时代的暗色微粒包体;后者为补充侵入体位于岩体的中央部位,两者呈明显的侵入接触关系,高精度LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄分别为222.5±1Ma和222.3±1.8Ma,都为印支晚期的产物。两种岩石类型的SiO2含量存在明显间断,A/CNK变化范围分别为0.99~1.05和1.08~1.15,花岗闪长岩为准铝质-弱过铝质I型花岗岩,黑云母花岗岩为弱过铝-强过铝质S型花岗岩。两类岩石都具有高的Rb、Cs含量和Rb/Sr比值,低的Sr、Ba、Eu含量,强-中等负铕异常,以及高的(87Sr/86Sr)i值和低的εNd(t)值,显示了前寒武纪变质基底起源的花岗岩的地球化学特征。两种岩石类型形成的温压条件和成岩深度有明显差别,暗示两者的源区不同。紫云山岩体两类岩石都是在印支陆块与华南陆块碰撞挤压-松驰构造环境下形成,岩浆底侵作用形成了少量有幔源组分加入的花岗闪长岩,其后上地壳泥砂质沉积物部分熔融形成了黑云母花岗岩。华南印支期主要花岗岩体的空间分布和高精度年龄数据显示,在华南内陆带和武夷-云开山脉带,由南而北,岩体形成时代逐渐变新,是印支陆块与华南陆块碰撞拼合所引起的挤压应力由南向北传递的结果。     

内蒙苏尼特右旗吉布胡楞土岩体LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年、地球化学特征及地质意义

在华北板块北缘白乃庙岛弧岩浆活动带中发现了一套石榴石白云母花岗岩。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果显示,该石榴石白云母花岗岩的结晶年龄为(500.8±2.4)Ma,为晚寒武世岩浆活动的产物。主量元素岩石地球化学特征方面:该岩体富硅、铝(w(SiO₂)=72.50%~74.11%;w(Al₂O₃)=14.73%~16.43%),贫铁、镁、钙(w(TFeO)=0.67%~1.14%;w(MgO)= 0.09%;w(CaO)=0.30%~0.61%),为高分异花岗岩(分异指数DI=91.99~93.20);铝饱和指数均大于1.1,发育富铝矿物石榴石和白云母,为过铝质花岗岩,但并非S型花岗岩;综合认为该石榴石白云母花岗岩是一套富铝、贫铁镁钙的高分异钙碱性I型花岗岩。微量元素特征方面:稀土总量较低,轻重稀土分馏不明显,具有强烈的负Eu异常;具明显的稀土元素四分组效应;并且部分岩石样品的Nb、Ta含量较高,暗示该岩体是分异岩浆与流体作用的产物。该岩体可为Nb、Ta等稀有金属成矿提供必要的物质基础。     

阿尔泰东南缘泥盆纪花岗质岩石的锆石U-Pb年龄、成因演化及构造意义：钙碱性-高钾钙碱性-碱性岩浆演化新证据

中国阿尔泰广泛发育的花岗质岩石已获得大量研究,但是其东南缘研究薄弱,制约了对整个阿尔泰造山带构造岩浆演化的认识。本文新获得阿尔泰东南缘四个花岗质岩体(昆格依特、库吉尔特、布铁乌及卡拉特玉别)锆石U-Pb年龄,分别为382±4Ma、381±4Ma、385±5Ma和363±6Ma。岩石学、地球化学特征等显示这些花岗质岩石具有高钾钙碱性、准铝质—弱过铝质的I型特点,全岩εNd(t)值为-2.42~-0.53,Nd模式年龄tDM为1.6~1.3Ga;锆石εHf(t)值为-3.44~+13.26,绝大多数为正值,锆石Hf二阶段模式年龄tDM-2为2.5~0.6Ga,表明源区物质组成复杂,有较多的新生幔源物质参与花岗质岩石的形成,并含有古老地壳成分。综合已有年龄分析显示,中国阿尔泰花岗质岩石的形成时代可分为480~440Ma(峰期460Ma)、420~390Ma(峰期400Ma)、390~370Ma(峰期380Ma)、370~360Ma(峰期365Ma)、360~350Ma。处于岩浆发育峰期的早泥盆世(420~390Ma)多为准铝-过铝质的钙碱性系列;中晚泥盆世(390~360Ma)多为准铝—弱过铝质的高钾钙碱性系列;370~360Ma为高钾钙碱性系列。该地区363Ma的高钾钙碱性花岗质岩石的确定,为进一步厘定整个阿尔泰泥盆纪花岗质岩浆由钙碱性(480~390Ma),到高钾钙碱性(390~360Ma),再到354Ma的布尔根碱性花岗岩的演变特点提供了新的证据,进一步揭示阿尔泰造山带该时期由俯冲增生演变到碰撞及后碰撞的演化过程。     

诸广山南部高坪地区细粒花岗岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

诸广山南部高坪地区钻探工程揭露到较多细粒花岗岩岩脉,部分岩脉与矿体空间关系密切。本文利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年法测得区内两组细粒花岗岩年龄分别为252.9±1.9 Ma(MSWD=1.8)和244±2 Ma(MSWD=1.4)。结合细粒花岗岩中晶质铀矿U-Pb定年结果,证实其形成于印支期。本文结合粤北地区铀成矿规律及区域铀成矿特征,对高坪地区铀成矿潜力及找矿方向进行初步探讨,认为:(1)印支期,诸广山南部先后广泛侵入粗粒斑状黑云母花岗岩与细粒花岗岩,其中细粒花岗岩多沿断裂发育;(2)至燕山晚期,沿断裂侵入基性脉岩;(3)高坪地区细粒花岗岩与基性脉岩叠合部位为铀成矿的有利空间。     

A Practical Approach for Collecting Large‐n Detrital Zircon U‐Pb Data sets by Quadrupole LA‐ICP‐MS

A measurement procedure for the rapid acquisition of U‐Pb dates for detrital zircons by quadrupole LA‐ICP‐MS was developed. The procedure achieves a threefold increase in measurement efficiency compared with the most commonly used methods. Utilising reduced background counting times and a shortened ablation period, a throughput of ~ 130 measurements/h can be achieved. The measurement procedure was characterised and validated using data from thirty‐nine sessions acquired over a twelve‐month period. Systematic measurement error in ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U dates for reference materials used for quality control with ages between 28.2 and 2672 Ma was < 1.5%. Average measurement uncertainty, including both random and systematic components, was 1–4% (2s). Interrogation of time‐resolved calculated dates and signal intensities for each measurement allows for the detection and elimination of portions of measurements exhibiting age heterogeneities, zoning, lead loss and contamination by common lead. The measurement procedure diminishes the need to acquire cathodoluminescence imagery for routine detrital zircon applications further increasing throughput and reducing cost. The utility of the measurement procedure is demonstrated by the measurement of samples previously characterised by LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS.     

Geochronological and geochemical constraints on formation of the Tongling metal deposits,middle Yangtze metallogenic belt,east‐central China

The Tongling district is one of the most important non‐ferrous metal producers in China. The origin of Cu–Au deposits in the region is closely related to Late Mesozoic intermediate intrusions, which are mainly high‐K calc‐alkaline and shoshonitic series. Geochemical characteristics indicate that these granitic rocks are mixtures of more than two compositional end‐members, i.e. mantle‐derived melts and crust components incorporated through assimilation. Three important magmatic intrusions related to the Cu–Au deposits in the Tongling region – the Jiguanshi quartz monzodiorite, the Xishizishan quartz diorite and the Miaojia diorite porphyry – were selected for this study. Zircon U–Pb dating by LA ICP‐MS yielded two groups of ages (～130–132 and 138–140 Ma) for these intrusions. Pyrite Re–Os age for the Xinqiao Cu–Fe–S deposit in the Tongling region is 126±11 Ma. Trace elements of zircon grains show that the earlier Cu–Au mineralization event was associated with adakitic rocks characterized by high positive Ce anomalies, produced at an elevated oxygen fugacity range. In contrast, later iron‐sulphur mineralization was closely related to low positive Ce anomalies, reflecting low oxygen fugacities. Considering that Pacific lithospheric subduction was the dominant factor that controlled major tectonic evolution in eastern China during the Early Cretaceous, the geochemical characteristics of these coeval ore‐forming intermediate intrusive rocks in the Tongling district were likely the result of Pacific plate underflow.     

安徽庐枞盆地隐伏侵入岩的LA ICP MS定年及其构造意义

庐枞中生代火山盆地位于长江中下游断陷带内,地处扬子板块的北缘。庐枞盆地内火山岩和侵入岩分布广泛,包括龙门院、砖桥、双庙和浮山4组火山岩以及34个出露地表的侵入岩体。这些侵入岩体的时空格架和岩浆演化等相关研究工作已经广泛开展,但对于盆地新发现深部隐伏岩体的研究尚未开展,制约了对庐枞盆地岩浆作用及深部成矿预测的深入研究。本次工作在详细野外地质工作的基础上,系统对盆地北部清水塘、刘墩、乔冲、牛头山、李家庄5个代表性隐伏岩体开展岩石学、地球化学和年代学研究,通过侵入岩详细镜下鉴定和锆石LAICP-MS U-Pb定年等方法,确定其主要岩性为二长岩和正长岩,岩石全碱含量均较高,准铝质或过铝质;稀土含量中等,较强Eu亏损,呈略右倾的海鸥型稀土配分模式,成岩时代分别为133.2±1.4Ma、131.3±1.3Ma、131.0±1.4Ma、131.2±1.2Ma和130.9±1.2Ma,均形成于早白垩世。通过与庐枞盆地不同侵入岩的系统对比,提出这些岩体与庐枞盆地早期侵入岩时代接近,岩石学特征类似,应为同一岩浆作用的产物,形成于区域岩石圈伸展的构造环境。     

甘肃公婆泉铜矿床含矿斑岩体地球化学特征、锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素特征研究

[摘 要]甘肃公婆泉铜矿是我国西北地区一个非常重要的斑岩型铜矿床。矿体主要产在花岗闪长斑岩和英安斑岩体内。在斑岩的地球化学特征上,这两种斑岩的主量元素表现为低铝、高钾、高碱,微量元素以富集大离子亲石元素（LILE）,如Rb、Ba、Th、Sr等元素,亏损高场强元素（HFSE）,如Nb、Ta等元素为特征,具有较为明显的Eu负异常。锆石Hf同位素研究显示,本区花岗闪长斑岩的锆石?Hf (t)值为4.7 ~ 8.2,单阶段Hf模式年龄（tDM1）为714 ~ 857 Ma,平均为791 Ma;二阶段模式年龄（tDM2）的变化范围为887 ~ 1113 Ma,平均为1003 Ma,显示幔源特征。利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学方法,测得花岗闪长斑岩的年龄为453.2 + 6.5 Ma,为晚奥陶世,代表了公婆泉铜矿花岗闪长斑岩的成岩结晶时代。花岗闪长斑岩的结晶时间为晚奥陶世,因此认为,公婆泉铜矿的成矿时代为晚奥陶世。
