南岭地区万洋山岩体锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄和地球化学特征及其构造意义

万洋山岩体位于湘赣两省交界地带,为加里东期多阶段岩浆活动的复式岩体,花岗岩主要岩石类型有黑云母二长花岗岩、黑云母花岗闪长岩和二云母二长花岗岩,以黑云母二长花岗岩分布面积最广。对岩体中黑云母二长花岗岩中的锆石样品进行激光剥蚀—多接收器电感耦合等离子体质谱(LA-ICP-MS)U-Pb定年,锆石的16个测点206Pb/238U的加权平均年龄为(446.0±3.4)Ma(n=16,MSWD=0.15)(95%置信度),反映该岩体形成于晚奥陶世至早志留世。岩石地球化学表明岩体中Si O2的含量为65.91%~73.35%,K2O的平均含量为4.20%,Na2O+K2O为5.90%~7.88%,K2O/Na2O平均值为1.64,Al2O3平均值为13.81%,ASI平均值为1.09%,总体属于高钾钙碱性过铝质花岗岩。微量元素组成中Ba、K、Sr、P、Ti表现出明显的亏损,Rb、Th、U、Nb、Zr、Hf等则相对富集,稀土元素总量中等(159.71×10-6~262.78×10-6),轻稀土富集LREE/HREE=6.16~10.01,(La/Yb)N=6.37~12.17,具明显的负Eu异常(δEu=0.30~0.59)。岩体的[n(87Sr)/n(86Sr)]i值为0.71223~0.72509,εSr(t)值为117.5~299.9Ma,εNd(t)值为-9.39~-7.30,两阶段Nd模式年龄(TDM2)为1.77~1.94 Ga。根据上述岩石地球化学特征表明万洋山岩体为来源于地壳的S型花岗岩,花岗岩氧化物和微量元素构造环境判别图解指示岩体形成于后碰撞构造环境。结合前人对华南加里东期岩体的研究成果,推断华南加里东期花岗岩岩体的具体形成机制为:在全球板块构造的影响,华夏板块与扬子板块拼接后,板块间的强烈挤压应力相对松弛、压力降低的后碰撞构造环境下,因地壳增厚而升温的中上地壳岩石减压熔融并向上侵位。     

辽东北—吉南中生代火山岩地层与辽西义县组的对比

辽宁东北部桓仁—吉林南部通化地区分布有大面积的中生代火山岩,分别属于果松组、林子头组及小岭组。通过野外地质调查发现,这三个组的火山岩组合自下而上均显示为酸性—中性—酸性的岩石组合,在岩石组合上具有可对比性。对这三个组的典型火山岩进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年,结果显示果松组安山岩(GS-1-TWS)和流纹岩(GS-2-TWS)年龄为130.83±0.8Ma和118.5±1.1Ma;林子头组安山质凝灰岩(LZT1)和安山岩(LZT2)年龄为123.24±0.91Ma和126.0±2.9Ma;小岭组流纹岩(P03-29)和安山岩(P03-30)年龄为126.3±1.3Ma和129.0±1.4Ma,表明三个含有中生代火山岩的地层形成时代一致,均为早白垩世产物。辽西地区含有中生代火山岩的地层为义县组,其形成时代为133~118Ma之间,本文辽宁桓仁—吉林通化地区中生代火山岩形成时代为130~118Ma,二者为同时产物;并且二者均产有相同的热河生物群化石,所以辽东北—吉南果松组、林子头组、小岭组与辽西义县组可对比。!     

小兴安岭“晚古生代”地层的时代与物源：地质与碎屑锆石 U-Pb 年代学证据

本文对出露于小兴安岭的"晚古生代"红山组和黑龙宫组进行了碎屑锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年,旨在准确限定红山组和黑龙宫组的沉积时限,并揭示其物源组成。样品中大多数锆石呈自形—半自形,显示典型的岩浆生长环带或条痕状吸收,暗示其岩浆成因。研究结果显示,采自红山组标准剖面泥板岩中的碎屑锆石42个分析点产生以下年龄峰值:747、807、849、903、956、1 167和1 811 Ma,表明红山组沉积于747 Ma之后;采自伊春地区黑龙宫组泥板岩中的碎屑锆石97个分析点产生以下年龄峰值:700(发生Pb丢失)、805、902、1 764、2 446和2 467Ma,确定黑龙宫组沉积于805Ma之后。近年来在该地区"晚古生代"地层中碎屑锆石的定年结果显示普遍存在561 Ma年龄,鉴于红山组和黑龙宫组中缺乏上述锆石年龄组合,认为研究区的红山组和黑龙宫组的形成时代分别为747~561 Ma和805~561 Ma,时代置于新元古代。基于两组碎屑锆石的年龄频数和区域地质年代学资料的对比分析,两个地层单元中出现大量新元古代岩浆锆石,证明研究区可能存在新元古代岩浆事件,岩浆产物为两组地层提供物源;而中—古元古代碎屑锆石的存在,同时暗示该区沉积时地表或地表浅部应存在更为古老的前寒武纪残片。

RMJG Rutile: A New Natural Reference Material for Microbeam U‐Pb Dating and Hf Isotopic Analysis

Matrix‐matched reference materials are necessary for accurate microbeam U‐Pb dating and Hf isotopic determination. This study introduces the RMJG rutile as a new potential reference material, which was separated from Palaeoproterozoic pelitic granulites collected in Hebei Province, China. LA‐ICP‐MS measurements indicate the RMJG rutile has extremely low Th (< 0.003 ± 0.01 µg g^?1) and common Pb contents, but high Hf (102 ± 34 µg g^?1), U (61 ± 11 µg g^?1), and radiogenic Pb (~ 20 µg g^?1) contents. Moreover, the rutile yields relatively constant U‐Pb ages and Hf isotopic data. The LA‐ICP‐MS analyses suggest that this rutile has a concordant U‐Pb age with a statistical mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U and ²⁰⁷Pb/²³⁵U ages of 1749.9 ± 32.1 Ma and 1750.0 ± 26.4 Ma, respectively (2s), which are statistically indistinguishable from its ID‐TIMS ages (1750.6 ± 8.4 and 1750.1 ± 4.7 Ma). Precise determination of the ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf ratio by MC‐ICP‐MS in solution mode (0.281652 ± 0.000006) is in good agreement with the statistical mean of the LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS measurements (0.28166 ± 0.00018). Therefore, the limited variations of RMJG U‐Pb age and Hf isotopic composition together with its extremely low common Pb and high Hf, U and Pb contents make it an ideal calibration and monitor reference material for LA‐ICP‐MS measurements.     

Ga/Mg ratio as a new geochemical tool to differentiate magmatic from metamorphic blue sapphires

Using ICP-MS–LA analyses, we demonstrate that the use of the Ga/Mg ratio, in conjunction with the Fe concentration, is an efficient tool in discriminating between “metamorphic” and “magmatic” blue sapphires. Magmatic blue sapphires found in alkali basalts (e.g. southeastern Asia, China, Africa) are commonly medium-rich to rich in Fe (with average contents between 2000 and 11000 ppm), high in Ga (> 140 ppm), and low in Mg (generally < 20 ppm) with high Ga/Mg ratios (> 10). Conversely, metamorphic blue sapphires found in basalts (e.g. Pailin pastel) and in metamorphic terrains (e.g. Mogok, Sri Lanka, Ilakaka) are characterized by low average iron contents (< 3000 ppm), low Ga contents (< 75 ppm), and high Mg values (> 60 ppm) with low average Ga/Mg ratios (< 10). Basaltic magmatic sapphires have Fe, Ga and Mg contents similar to those obtained for primary magmatic sapphires found in the Garba Tula syenite. This suggests that these both sets of sapphires have a possible common “syenitic” origin, as previously proposed from other criteria. In addition, plumasite-related sapphires and metamorphic sapphires also exhibit similar composition in trace elements. Based on results from the present study, we suggest that fluid circulations during a metamorphic stage produced metasomatic exchanges between mafic and acidic rocks (plumasite model), thus explaining the high Mg contents and converging Ga/Mg ratios observed in metamorphic sapphires.     

Characterisation of Apatites as Potential Uranium Reference Materials for Fission‐track Dating by LA‐ICP‐MS

We report homogeneity tests on large natural apatite crystals to evaluate their potential as U reference materials for apatite fission‐track (AFT) thermochronology by laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS). The homogeneity tests include the measurements of major element concentrations by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), whereas for U concentration, isotope dilution (ID) ICP‐MS and laser ablation (LA) ICP‐MS were employed. Two apatite crystals are potential reference materials for LA‐ICP‐MS analysis: a 1 cm³ fraction of a Durango crystal (7.5 μg g^?1 U) and a 1 cm³ Mud Tank crystal (6.9 μg g^?1 U). The relative standard deviation (1 RSD) of the U concentration determined by ID‐ICP‐MS of both apatite crystals was ≤ 1.5%, whereas 1 RSD for the LA‐ICP‐MS results was better than 4%, providing sufficient homogeneity for fission‐track dating. The results on the U homogeneity for two different apatite samples are an important step towards establishing in situ dating routines for AFT analysis by LA‐ICP‐MS.     

GSD‐1G and MPI‐DING Reference Glasses for In Situ and Bulk Isotopic Determination

This paper contains the results of an extensive isotopic study of United States Geological Survey GSD‐1G and MPI‐DING reference glasses. Thirteen different laboratories were involved using high‐precision bulk (TIMS, MC‐ICP‐MS) and microanalytical (LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS, LA‐ICP‐MS) techniques. Detailed studies were performed to demonstrate the large‐scale and small‐scale homogeneity of the reference glasses. Together with previously published isotopic data from ten other laboratories, preliminary reference and information values as well as their uncertainties at the 95% confidence level were determined for H, O, Li, B, Si, Ca, Sr, Nd, Hf, Pb, Th and U isotopes using the recommendations of the International Association of Geoanalysts for certification of reference materials. Our results indicate that GSD‐1G and the MPI‐DING glasses are suitable reference materials for microanalytical and bulk analytical purposes.     

The Geological Significance of a Tuffite Interlayer in the Cretaceous Port Island Formation in Northeastern Hong Kong

The Port Island Formation(PIF), a typical Cretaceous red bed in Hong Kong, is dominated by non-fossiliferous, reddish clastic rocks, making it difficult to determine the sedimentary age of PIF precisely. Previous studies assigned the PIF to Late Cretaceous provisionally only on the basis of its stratigraphic sequence and lithology. This study identified a tuffite interlayer in the PIF and a zircon UPb age of 128.2±2.7 Ma by LA-ICP-MS method was obtained. It's the first time to date the depositional age of the PIF with a reliable chronological constraint. With the support of stratigraphic evidence, we concluded that the geological age of PIF should be Early Cretaceous rather than Late Cretaceous. Based on the volcanic history of Hong Kong and Southeast China and the distribution of the PIF in Mirs Bay, it is believed that there was no volcanic activity in Hong Kong in ca. 128 Ma. The tuffite interlayer discovered in PIF was formed by the deposition of volcanic ash, which might originate from remote region outside Hong Kong, in an aquatic environment on Port Island. The identification of the tuffite interlayer, as the response to a volcanic event, has great significance not only to the studies of establishment and regional correlation of the strata system and the geological evolution in Hong Kong,but also to the study of volcanic activities in Southeast China.     

内蒙古东乌旗达亚纳钨-钼矿成岩成矿时代及其岩体地球化学研究
