蛇绿岩中金刚石和异常矿物的全球记录

蛇绿岩型金刚石产在地幔橄榄岩和铬铁矿中,是新建立的金刚石产出类型,不同于产在金伯利岩和超高压变质岩中的金刚石。全球已在21个蛇绿岩中发现了该类金刚石,含金刚石的蛇绿岩主要分布在特提斯造山带、乌拉尔-中亚造山带、日高变质岩带和北美克拉马斯-阿卡特兰造山带。本文梳理了含金刚石蛇绿岩的全球分布和地质背景以及蛇绿岩中超高压-强还原矿物与其它壳幔矿物组合的特征,讨论了已有的含金刚石铬铁矿和地幔橄榄岩的四种成因机制。金刚石和伴生的超高压-强还原矿物组合产在不同时代的造山带蛇绿岩中,不仅仅揭示了金刚石在蛇绿岩中普遍存在,需要重新思考蛇绿岩和铬铁矿的成因以及它们形成的地质构造背景,还证实了蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩和铬铁矿是地球深部矿物重要的储存库,为认识地球深部的物质组成和物理化学环境,以及深部物质运移的轨迹和动力学过程等提供了天然样品。     

Dike distribution in the Oman-United Arab Emirates ophiolite

Mafic dikes and dunite veins are observed in the mantle section of the Oman – United Arab Emirates (O-UAE) ophiolites, as well as diabase dikes and hydrothermal veins in the crust section. They have been systematically measured during the mapping of this ophiolite and are represented by their trajectories in the folded map 3 in the back of this volume, and by local stereoplots included in this study. Mafic dikes in the mantle section correspond to basaltic melt being injected at decreasing temperatures from above or at peridotite solidus, down to below 450°C. Hydrothermal veins associated with dioritic dikes issued from hydrous melting of host gabbros are observed down to the base of the crust, bearing evidence for sea water penetration into basal gabbros at or above 900°C, that is very close to the ridge axis. Dike orientations record the stress field at the time of their injection. In most places, all types of dikes are dominantly parallel to the general trend of the nearest sheeted dike complex; thus the stress field has not visibly changed from melt injection in the asthenosphere below the ridge of origin to injection in a lithosphere up to a few Myr old, at distances beyond 100 km from the axis. Local preferred orientations, when they are considered in the frame of the paleo-ridge system of O-UAE, result in a coherent model throughout the belt: the sheeted dike complex dips moderately away from the presumed ridge axis and the mantle dikes, toward this axis. These opposite directions are explained by the presumed effect of subsidence toward the axis for the sheeted dikes and by the central feeding from an asthenospheric uprise for the mantle dikes.     

Geology Along the Line from Yecheng to Shiquanhe and Tectonic Evolution of the Region Involved

The geotraverse from Yecheng to Shiquanhe, on the western Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, totalling 1056 km in length, passes the western Kunlun Mountains and the eastern end of the Karakorum Mountains. The Chinese and French scientists made a joint investigation along the line from July to August, 1989. Based on the outcropped ophiolites, palaeontology, sedimentary facies, magmatism, tectonic deformation and metamorphism, the region involved may be divided from north to south into five terranes and four ophiolitic suture zones. The ages of these terranes have a tendency to become increasingly younger from north to south.     

Diamonds and Other Exotic Minerals Recovered from Peridotites of the Dangqiong Ophiolite,Western Yarlung-Zangbo Suture Zone,Tibet

Various combinations of diamond, moissanite, zircon, quartz, corundum, rutile, titanite, almandine garnet, kyanite, and andalusite have been recovered from the Dangqiong peridotites. More than 80 grains of diamond have been recovered, most of which are pale yellow to reddish-orange to colorless. The grains are all 100-200 μm in size and mostly anhedral, but with a range of morphologies including elongated, octahedral and subhedral varieties. Their identification was confirmed by a characteristic shift in the Raman spectra between 1325 cm~(-1) and 1333 cm~(-1), mostly at 1331.51 cm~(-1) or 1326.96 cm~(-1). Integration of the mineralogical, petrological and geochemical data for the Dongqiong peridotites suggests a multi-stage formation for this body and similar ophiolites in the Yarlung-Zangbo suture zone. Chromian spinel grains and perhaps small bodies of chromitite crystallized at various depths in the upper mantle, and encapsulated the UHP, highly reduced and crustal minerals. Some oceanic crustal slabs containing the chromian spinel and their inclusion were later trapped in suprasubduction zones(SSZ), where they were modified by island arc tholeiitic and boninitic magmas, thus changing the chromian spinel compositions and depositing chromitite ores in melt channels.     

赣东北蛇绿岩带新元古代(~800Ma)高镁安山岩的发现及其意义

在赣东北蛇绿岩带中的樟树墩地区新发现新元古代高镁安山岩,其LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb法年龄为794.8±6.0 Ma。它们的Si O2介于54.90%~58.45%,Al2O3介于15.31%~16.77%(平均小于16%);Ca O为2.46%~6.73%,Fe OT/Mg O变化于0.87~1.20,具有高Mg O(6.39%~8.76%)、高Mg#(64~71)特点;富集轻稀土元素且具弱负Eu异常,明显富集LILE而亏损HFSE,Sr含量(普遍200×10-6)和Sr/Y比值(4.11~7.29)均较低,具有典型高镁安山岩的地球化学特征,类似于日本Setouchi火山带的Sanukitoids。锆石εHf(t)值介于10.23~17.79之间,反映它们起源于亏损地幔。主、微量及同位素特征均表明,本区高镁安山岩是被俯冲板片释放的含水流体交代的地幔楔部分熔融的产物,形成于大洋岛弧(洋内弧)环境,指示赣东北地区在约800Ma前时仍存在洋壳俯冲,双溪坞弧尚未增生到扬子东南缘,暗示扬子和华夏两大陆块此时尚未碰撞拼合。     

Exsolutions of Diopside and Magnetite in Olivine from Mantle Dunite, Luobusa Ophiolite, Tibet, China

The exsolutious of diopside and magnetite occur as intergrowth and orient within olivine from the mantle dunite, Luobusa ophiolite, Tibet. The dunite is very fresh with a mineral assemblage of olivine （〉95%） ＋ chromite （1%-4%） ＋ diopside （〈1%）. Two types of olivine are found in thin sections： one （Fo = 94） is coarse-grained, elongated with development of kink bands, wavy extinction and irregular margins; and the other （Fo = 96） is fine-grained and poly-angied. Some of the olivine grains contain minor Ca, Cr and Ni. Besides the exsolutions in olivine, three micron-size inclusions are also discovered. Analyzed through energy dispersive system （EDS） with unitary analytical method, the average compositions of the inclusions are： Na20, 3.12%-3.84%; MgO, 19.51%-23.79%; Al2O3, 9.33%-11.31%; SiO2, 44.89%-46.29%; CaO, 11.46%-12.90%; Cr2O3, 0.74%-2.29%; FeO, 4.26%- 5.27%, which is quite similar to those of amphibole. Diopside is anhedral f＇dling between olivines, or as micro-inclusions oriented in olivines. Chromite appears euhedral distributed between olivines, sometimes with apparent compositional zone. From core to rim of the chromite, Fe content increases and Cr decreases; and A! and Mg drop greatly on the rim. There is always incomplete magnetite zone around the chromite. Compared with the nodular chromite in the same section, the euhedral chromite has higher Fe3O4 and lower MgCr2O4 and MgAI2O4 end member contents, which means it formed under higher oxygen fugacity environment. With a geothermometer estimation, the equilibrium crystalline temperature is 820℃-960℃ for olivine and nodular chromite, 630℃-770℃ for olivine and euhedral chromite, and 350℃-550℃ for olivine and exsoluted magnetite, showing that the exsolutions occurred late at low temperature. Thus we propose that previously depleted mantle harzburgite reacted with the melt containing Na, Al and Ca, and produced an olivine solid solution added with Na^＋, Al^3＋, Ca^2＋, Fe^3＋, Cr^3＋.

西藏西南部休古嘎布蛇绿岩的Sm-Nd年龄及Nd-Sr-Pb同位素特征

休古嘎布蛇绿岩位于雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带西段,属于SSZ型蛇绿岩。用Sm-Nd法测定了该蛇绿岩中辉长辉绿岩的结晶年龄,辉石、斜长石和两个全岩样品的等时线年龄为(126.2±9.1)Ma,代表新特提斯洋在该区俯冲消减的时限。同时,对辉长辉绿岩的Nd-Sr-Pb同位素的测定结果表明,辉长辉绿岩的初始εNd(t)值高(6.7～9.1),反映原始岩浆起源于强烈亏损的地幔源区,未受大陆地壳物质的混染;初始206Pb/204Pb比值较低(17.412～17.523),但初始208Pb/204Pb比值较高(37.352～37.706),并具有较高的ISr值(0.70278～0.70383),指示休古嘎布蛇绿岩源于印度洋MORB型地幔域。     

西藏日喀则蛇绿岩中石榴角闪岩的矿物、岩石地球化学特征

西藏雅鲁藏布蛇绿岩带中段日喀则地区的白朗蛇绿混杂岩中,存在作为变质底板的石榴角闪岩。本文对其进行了矿物学、变质温压条件和岩石地球化学研究。根据岩相学和矿物化学研究,日喀则石榴角闪岩经历了四个变质阶段,矿物组合分别为:Am_1+Pl_1+Ep_1+Ttn(M1);Grt-c+Cpx-e+Ep_2+Pl_2+Rt(M2);Grt-r+Ep_3/Czo_3+Cpx-l+Am_3+Pl_3+Ttn(M3)和Prh+Ab+Czo+Chl+Cal(M4)。根据SAFMCNHO体系矿物组合演化的视剖面图,结合传统的地质温压计,估算出峰期前的温压条件为560~620℃/9.1~9.8kbar;峰值为830~870℃/18.0~22.0kbar,退变质阶段保留了640~680℃/10.7~14.9kbar的温压条件,最终止于葡萄石-绿纤石的前绿片岩相变质条件;得出一条逆时针的P-T轨迹。白朗变质底板的岩性可分为三类,即石榴角闪岩、角闪辉石岩和单辉角闪岩。三种岩性具有相似的地球化学性质:主量元素具有低钛(0.92%~1.29%)、低钾(0.26%)、低钠(0.24%~2.46%)的特征。稀土元素和微量元素特征与N-MROB相似,富集大离子亲石元素(Rb、Ba、U),亏损部分高场强元素(Nb、Ti、Zr、Hf),表现出白朗蛇绿混杂岩中的石榴角闪岩等与洋中脊玄武岩有亲缘性,且叠加有俯冲上板片SSZ环境特征。白朗石榴角闪岩的存在表明日喀则蛇绿岩在形成后不久就发生了构造就位,体现了大洋内部俯冲/侵位事件。     

内蒙古苏尼特左旗乌兰敖包基性-超基性岩的成因及其对含矿性的指示

乌兰敖包基性-超基性岩位于阿拉善北缘兴蒙造山带,由方辉橄榄岩、辉绿岩、辉长岩组成。地球化学分析表明:蛇纹石化橄榄岩为地幔橄榄岩,辉绿岩和辉长岩为拉斑玄武岩系列岩石,均具有与N-MORB相似的微量元素特征,但区别于N-MORB,3种岩石共同组成了蛇绿混杂岩。矿物学分析表明蛇纹石化橄榄岩中橄榄石为地幔橄榄岩中镁橄榄石(Fo=91.10~91.81),铬铁矿为铬尖晶石,具有高的Cr~#和Mg~#值分别为61.04~64.44、50.40~56.37)。单斜辉石出现在方辉橄榄岩、辉长岩及辉绿岩中,而斜方辉石只出现在方辉橄榄岩中,其中方辉橄榄岩中单斜辉石为顽透辉石,辉长岩中为普通辉石,而辉长岩中为次透辉石、贫钙普通辉石、普通辉石,斜方辉石均为斜顽辉石。辉长岩U-Pb年龄为344.5±1.5 Ma,表明该蛇绿混杂岩形成于早石炭世。地球化学及矿物学特征表明乌兰敖包蛇绿岩形成于俯冲早期的弧前环境中,属于SSZ型蛇绿岩。蛇绿混杂岩成因提供铬铁矿形成的有利条件,因此应围绕铬铁矿进行找矿工作。
