An oxygen isotope study of quartz veins within eclogites from the Dabie terrane

The oxygen isotope composition of minerals from quartz veins and host eclogites in the Dabie terrane was measured in order to place geochemical constraints on the origin and transport of metamorphic fluid. The results are discussed together with structural and petrological relationships between quartz vein and wallrock. The quartz veins can be temporally classified into three groups: (1) synmetamorphic vein which would be formed prior to eclogite-facies recrystallization when they were exhumated from mantle depths to deep crustal levels; (2) early retrogressive vein which was formed in the early stage of eclogite exhumation subsequent to the recrystallization, the vein-forming fluid is still relevant to the eclogites; (3) late retrogressive vein which was formed in the late stage of eclogite exhumation from deep crustal to upper crustal levels, oxygen isotope fractionation between vein quartz and host eclogite significantly deviates from equilibrium values and the vein-forming fluid was principally derived from granitic gneiss hosting the eclogites. For the synmetamorphic vein, it appears that local advective transport of fluid is the predominant mechanism in the processes of vein precipitation; the scale of oxygen isotope homogenization within the veins is much larger than that within the associated eclogites. The vein-forming fluid would be derived from the exsolution of dissolved hydroxyls within eclogite minerals due to significant pressure decrease. Fluid flow prior to the eclogite-facies recrystallization and the early retrogression may occur mainly along pressure gradients.     

Petrogenesis and significance of the Mesozoic North Taihang complex: Major and trace element evidence

The intensive Mesozoic magmatism in the North China Craton (NCC) has drawn great attention for its particular geochemical signatures (e.g. high-K), petrogenesis and tectonic setting. The North Taihang complex represents the westernmost magmatic belt of th…     

苏鲁超高压变质带北部地球物理调查(Ⅱ)——非地震方法

在北苏鲁超高压变质带(UHPM)上开展了深反射地震的同时,进行了大地电磁、地磁、放射性测量和重磁编图.本文介绍用这些方法取得的结果.两条区域性的地球物理剖面总长126km,经过二维反演取得了电阻率和磁性体剖面.结果表明:(1)大地电磁等综合地球物理资料与深反射地震剖面的推断结果基本一致,同样反映了UHPM岩块的俯冲折返与后期的隆升.(2)非地震地球物理资料不仅为地震解释提供约束,还可以提供地热流上涌、断裂和磁性体分布等更多的信息.(3)新发现莒南-海州北北西向断裂,对研究本区构造演化有重要意义.(4)根据地热流上涌、侵入体多和高波速体埋藏较深等特征,认为在本区进行科学钻探不够理想.     

徐淮地区中生代深部地壳的物质组成及热状态——深源捕虏体证据

徐淮地区中生代侵入杂岩中含有丰富的深源岩石捕虏体,包括榴辉岩类、单斜辉石岩、角闪岩类和片麻岩类。深源捕虏体的岩相学研究表明,它们经历了早期的榴辉岩相变质和晚期的角闪岩相退化变质,然后被寄主岩浆所捕获。捕虏体中矿物平衡温压估算结果显示,榴辉岩相变质的温压条件为:T=657～992℃,P=1.33～2.78GPa,所反映的地温梯度介于克拉通地温(40mW/m2)和大洋地温(60mW/m2)之间;晚期角闪岩相退变的温压条件为:T=523～878℃,P=0.5～1.02GPa,这与中国东部新生代地温梯度相一致。本区中生代深部地壳主要由一套混杂堆积岩所构成,包括退变榴辉岩、退变石榴辉石岩、角闪岩类和片麻岩类。该区深源捕虏体的P-T演化暗示中生代早期华北地块东部深部地壳和/或岩石圈地幔曾存在一次重要的加厚过程;苏鲁造山带的形成可能是扬子地块沿北西方向俯冲于华北地块之下的产物;中生代郯庐断裂带并不存在巨大左行平移。     

Granitic and monzonitic rocks dredged from the southeast Australian continental margin

Four Middle Devonian (381 Ma) granodiorite samples have been recovered from two dredge sites approximately 65 km east of Green Cape, New South Wales. The granodiorite samples are similar in age and composition to members of the Moruya Suite and probably form an along‐strike extension of that suite. The location of granodiorite on the southeastern margin requires that a piece of continental lithosphere was located to the present east of the study area in the Devonian. This piece of lithosphere may now be located somewhere on the western Lord Howe Rise.

A sample of Early Cretaceous leuco‐quartz monzodiorite was also recovered from a dredge site approximately 45 km north‐northeast of Dalmeny, New South Wales. It represents a body that was intruded at essentially the same time as, and is inferred to be of similar origin to, the syenite rocks of the nearby Mt Dromedary and Montague Island complexes.     

Paleomagnetic results of Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks from Xingshan-Zigui section in Hubei Province, South China

The paleomagnetic reconnaissance study of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks from the Yangtze Block (YZB) was made to conduct the Apparent Polar Wander Path (APWP) of the YZB during the Phanerozoic. A total of 825 samples from 84 sites were collected from a continuous section along the Xiangxi River valley in Xingshan and Zigui counties in Hubei Province, northern margin of the YZB. Stepwise thermal/alternating demagnetization isolated well defined characteristic magnetization (ChRM) at a higher temperature in most of the samples, and relatively thermal stability and high coercivity were revealed from these samples. All the ChRMs can pass the fold and/or reversal tests, suggesting that they are probably primary. Therefore, new pole positions are presented for the YZB.

西藏措勤盆地的上古生界-下中生界：潜在的油气沉积建造

新的地层和古生物学研究结果表明,措勤盆地在晚古生代一早中生代不存在长达75Ma以上的沉积间断．其中,晚二叠世-晚三叠世诺利期都是海相碳酸盐岩地层,晚三叠世瑞替期-早中侏罗世为陆缘碎屑岩地层．两者之间为角度不整合接触．措勤盆地在晚二叠世-晚三叠世诺利期一直处于海相碳酸盐岩盆地中．晚三叠世瑞替期-早中侏罗世仍然是接受巨厚沉积的低洼地区。从宏观的油气勘探的战略评价角度看．措勤盆地在中二叠世栖霞期-晚三叠世诺利期的海相碳酸盐岩地层具有生油层的性质,上三叠统瑞替阶-中下侏罗统具有盖层的性质,两者之间的角度不整合具有储集层的性质。措勤盆地中二叠统-下侏罗统构成一个油气的有利勘探层系．称为古格层系。     

拉萨地体东南部变质岩的成因与中-新生代造山作用

本文对青藏高原拉萨地体东南部林芝地区分布的变质岩进行了岩石学和年代学研究,结果表明这套岩石在中-新生代经历三期变质作用,形成了三个变质带,它们是:(1)米林变质带,经历了高温中压麻粒岩相峰期变质作用和角闪岩相退变质作用,峰期麻粒岩相的变质作用温、压条件为830～900℃和0.9～1.3GPa,变质时代为90～80Ma的晚白垩世;(2)八一变质带,经历了低压角闪岩相变质作用,变质作用温、压条件为625～679℃,0.4～0.55GPa,变质作用时间为55～50Ma的始新世;(3)布久变质带,经历中压角闪岩相变质作用,变质作用温、压条件为615～663℃和0.5～0.8GPa,变质作用时间为32～26Ma的渐新世。研究表明,拉萨地体东南部的中高级变质岩系的原岩主要由形成在晚古生代的沉积岩和古生代-新生代的岩浆岩组成,变质沉积岩的物质源区具有格林威尔和泛非造山作用的构造热事件记录,表明拉萨地体具有冈瓦纳大陆的构造亲缘性。我们认为,拉萨地体东南部的晚白垩世高温中压变质作用发生在新特提斯大洋岩石圈向拉萨地体之下俯冲所导致的安第斯型造山作用过程中,始新世的低压角闪岩相变质作用发生在印度与欧亚碰撞和深俯冲的新特提斯洋壳断离过程中,而渐新世的中压角闪岩相变质作用发生在印度大陆向欧亚大陆之下的持续俯冲,地壳加厚过程中。因此,拉萨地体东南部的高级变质岩揭示了俯冲/碰撞复合造山带上盘中、下地壳的组成与构造演化历史。     

记载了早中生代壳幔演化的赤峰-凌源地质走廊

本文从内蒙赤峰至辽西凌源南北近200km的地质走廊中,选择早中生代(237～206 Ma)形成不同深度、不同产状的8种火成岩作为研究对象,探讨早中生代华北克拉通北缘的地质演化.这8种岩石包括:火山岩、岩墙群和闪长岩、碱性花岗岩、碱性杂岩、镁铁质麻粒岩、堆晶岩及其捕获的地幔岩包体.研究表明,在底侵作用的背景下,华北早中生代发生了强烈的壳幔相互作用和岩石圈地幔富集过程,伴随早中生代大陆地壳的增生和深部结构的调整,地表相应出现快速的差异抬升和剥蚀.
