西藏西南部与蛇绿岩伴生的硅质岩特征及地质意义

西藏西南部达巴—休古嘎布存在一条蛇绿岩带,与蛇绿岩伴生的中生界硅质岩分布广泛。其中与拉昂错蛇绿岩体伴生的硅质岩,常量元素和稀土元素地球化学特征参数,以及地球化学环境判别图,显示其沉积于大陆边缘盆地的构造环境,其形成包括生物作用和热液作用两种因素。含硅质岩的地层剖面自下而上岩性为石英砂岩→含岩屑石英砂岩、杂砂岩→放射虫硅质岩,形成环境是从三角洲或浅海过渡到大陆边缘,再到边缘盆地。硅质岩中含有大量放射虫,放射虫组合显示硅质岩的沉积时代为晚侏罗世晚期。含硅质岩地层和蛇绿岩都是印度大陆北缘小洋盆的组成部分,两者因洋盆碰撞闭合而汇聚在一起。硅质岩的形成环境反映了该陆缘小洋盆在晚侏罗世所处的构造背景。     

甘肃武山鸳鸯镇蛇绿岩构造年代学特征及其构造意义探讨

本文通过对甘肃武山县鸳鸯镇蛇绿岩构造年代学的深入研究,结合野外实测地质剖面对鸳鸯镇蛇绿岩的形成,其代表的构造意义进行了探讨,该带蛇绿岩中采集的蛇纹石Sm-Nd同位素等时线年龄为473±23Ma;在该带硅化碳酸盐化变玄武岩中采用锆石U-Pb法测年,测得模式年龄值为546Ma。研究认为武山蛇绿岩其岩石组合中与显生宙的蛇绿岩大致相近,所不同的是组合中含深水碳酸盐岩;蛇绿岩中基性岩类的REE球粒陨石标准化配分模式接近平坦型及微量元素的环境判别图式都表明该蛇绿岩的生成环境很可能是初始洋盆;武山蛇绿岩代表古生代大陆裂解的产物,两组年龄值基本代表了本次大陆裂解成海盆的时代。     

西藏札达曲松一带两条蛇绿岩带的初步研究

雅鲁藏布江缝合带北支自札达县老武起拉向北西去向不明,南支止于札达县以东.在札达县曲松附近发现了2条蛇绿岩带--夏浦沟蛇绿岩带和波博蛇绿岩带,并在夏浦沟蛇绿岩带台丁拉-天巴拉之间发现了高压变质岩--榴闪岩,对蛇绿岩的空间分析及追索表明它们分别代表雅鲁藏布江缝合带南、北支.其中雅鲁藏布江缝合带南支在札达盆地西北缘首次被发现,而雅鲁藏布江缝合带北支则自老武起拉向西延伸,经研究区内的夏浦沟-台丁拉一带延入印控克什米尔地区,并可能向北西与什约克蛇绿岩相接.由于上述蛇绿岩分别构成北喜马拉雅构造带与札达微陆块、札达微陆块与冈底斯弧之间的板块界线,故它的发现对雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段空间结构的研究及青藏高原大地构造区划的完善具有重要意义.

东昆仑西段黑山构造蛇绿岩带特征

通过对黑山构造蛇绿岩中基性火山岩、基-超基性岩的岩石组合及其岩石学、岩石化学、微量元素、稀土元素等特征研究认为:黑山构造蛇绿岩带是祁漫塔格结合带重要物质组分,是在加里东晚期板块俯冲-碰撞过程中逐渐演化形成的,区域上与那棱格勒构造带相连,是柴达木陆块与东昆北陆块的分界断裂。通过同位素地质年龄研究认为该蛇绿岩形成于南华—奥陶纪,构造就位于志留纪—早中泥盆世。对东昆仑构造演化提供了重要新资料。指出黑山构造蛇绿岩以北的祁漫塔格地区(柴达木陆块)发育与岩浆岩、变质岩有关的铜、钨、钛、铁等与热液、区域变质有关的内生矿产;以南的库木库里盆地发育砂砾岩型铜矿、砂金、石膏和石盐等外生矿产。     

东秦岭商丹地区蛇绿岩中的角闪石研究

东秦岭蛇绿岩主要分布在北秦岭南缘、商丹断裂带以北的狭窄地带,断续逶迤呈带状作近东西向展布。分布于商丹地区的蛇绿岩是东秦岭蛇绿岩带的重要组成部分并具有代表性。 本文着重论述了商丹地区蛇绿岩中广泛分布的主要造岩矿物之一,角闪石的主要特征组份、微量元素、晶胞参数、阳离子占位度等成因矿物学特点。并据此说明了该蛇绿岩中的角闪石属于区域正变质的产物;形成的物质来源具有同源性,原岩为超镁铁质-镁铁质的岩浆岩和火山熔岩;形成的热力学条件基本相同,变质程度为绿帘角闪岩相或角闪岩相,变质温度为610℃左右,压力大于5×10~8Pa。 此外,根据商丹地区蛇绿岩中角闪石成因矿物学特征之相同性所提供的信息表明,东秦岭蛇绿岩带是华北和扬子两个板块俯冲、碰撞的构造边界变质带。     

Evolution processes of Ordovician–Devonian arc system in the South‐Kitakami Massif and its relevance to the Ordovician ophiolite pulse

The South Kitakami Massif is one of the oldest geological domains in Japan having Silurian strata with acidic pyroclastic rocks and Ordovician–Silurian granodiorite–tonalite basement, suggesting that it was matured enough to develop acidic volcanisms in the Silurian period. On the northern and western margin of the South Kitakami Massif, an Ordovician arc ophiolite (Hayachine–Miyamori Ophiolite) and high‐pressure and low‐temperature metamorphic rocks (Motai metamorphic rocks) exhumed sometime in the Ordovician–Devonian periods are distributed. Chronological, geological, and petrochemical studies on the Hayachine–Miyamori Ophiolite, Motai metamorphic rocks, and other early Paleozoic geological units of the South Kitakami Massif are reviewed for reconstruction of the South Kitakami arc system during Ordovician to Devonian times with supplementary new data. The reconstruction suggests a change in the convergence polarity from eastward‐ to westward‐dipping subduction sometime before the Late Devonian period. The Hayachine–Miyamori Ophiolite was developed above the eastward‐dipping subduction through three distinctive stages. Two separate stages of overriding plate extension inducing decompressional melting with minor involvement of slab‐derived fluid occurred before and after a stage of melting under strong influence of slab‐derived fluids. The first overriding plate extension took place in the back‐arc side forming a back‐arc basin. The second one took place immediately before the ophiolite exhumation and near the fore‐arc region. We postulate that the second decompressional melting was triggered by slab breakoff, which was preceded by slab rollback inducing trench‐parallel wedge mantle flow and non‐steady fluid and heat transport leaving exceptionally hydrous residual mantle. The formation history of the Hayachine–Miyamori Ophiolite implies that weaker plate coupling may provide preferential conditions for exhumation of very hydrous mantle. Very hydrous peridotites involved in arc magmatism have not yet been discovered except for in the Cambrian–Ordovician periods, suggesting its implications for global geodynamics, such as the thermal state and water circulation in the mantle.     

A traverse through the western Kunlun (Xinjiang,China): tentative geodynamic implications for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic

The northern part of the western Kunlun (southern margin of the Tarim basin) represents a Sinian rifted margin. To the south of this margin, the Sinian to Paleozoic Proto-Tethys Ocean formed. South-directed subduction of this ocean, beneath the continental southern Kunlun block during the Paleozoic, resulted in the collision between the northern and southern Kunlun blocks during the Devonian. The northern part of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean, located to the south of the southern Kunlun, was subducted to the north beneath the southern Kunlun during the Late Paleozoic to Early Mesozoic. This caused the formation of a subduction-accretion complex, including a sizeable accretionary wedge to the south of the southern Kunlun. A microcontinent (or oceanic plateau?), which we refer to as “Uygur terrane,” collided with the subduction complex during the Late Triassic. Both elements together represent the Kara-Kunlun. Final closure of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean took place during the Early Jurassic when the next southerly located continental block collided with the Kara-Kunlun area. From at least the Late Paleozoic to the Early Jurassic, the Tarim basin must be considered a back-arc region. The Kengxiwar lineament, which “connects” the Karakorum fault in the west and the Ruogiang-Xingxingxia/Altyn-Tagh fault zone in the east, shows signs of a polyphase strike-slip fault along which dextral and sinistral shearing occurred.
