秦岭岩群中斜长角闪岩的年代学、地球化学特征及其地质意义

本文对秦岭岩群中的三个斜长角闪岩（变质沉积岩）样品进行了岩石学、锆石U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学研究,限定了秦岭岩群的形成时代,讨论了秦岭岩群的构造背景及归属问题。锆石定年结果显示了971 Ma、1222 Ma和840 Ma三个最大沉积年龄。秦岭岩群是一个杂岩体,秦岭岩群中至少存在中元古代（较老组成部分）和新元古代早期（较新组成部分）的岩性单元。秦岭岩群变质沉积岩的锆石年龄峰主要集中在中元古代-新元古代早期,具有与扬子块体和华北块体明显不同的锆石年代学特征,秦岭岩群在中元古代-新元古代早期为独立发展的微陆块。结合秦岭岩群的年代学特征及前人的研究结果,秦岭岩群中的变质沉积岩应沉积于弧相关的构造环境。     

Tectonic affinity of the Khanka Massif in the easternmost Central Asian Orogenic Belt: evidence from detrital zircon geochronology of Permian sedimentary rocks

ABSTRACT

The tectonic affiliation of the Khanka Massif, in the easternmost section of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), is still a matter of debate. Here, we provide new constraints on the provenance and timing of deposition of Permian strata in the western margin of the Khanka Massif. The results, which include U–Pb dating of detrital zircon grains using laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), provide evidence regarding the tectonic position of the Khanka Massif and its role in the late Palaeozoic evolution of the eastern CAOB. Detrital zircon grains from a sublitharenite (Pingyangzhen Formation), a litharenite (Liangzichuan Formation), and a metamorphic siltstone (Qinglongcun Group) yielded multiple age populations ranging from Neoproterozoic (~914 Ma) to Permian (~272 Ma). Combined with age constraints from overlying/late-stage igneous rocks and other magmatism of the Khanka Massif, we conclude that the dated strata were deposited during the early–middle Permian and were sourced from the Khanka Massif. A comparison between the detrital zircon age populations and the history of magmatic activity in the neighbouring areas suggests that the Khanka Massif was tectonically linked to the Songnen–Zhangguangcai Range Massif. Based on tectonic discrimination diagrams, we conclude that the western margin of the Khanka Massif was positioned in a convergent-boundary basin during the early–middle Permian. Strike-slip faulting along the Dunhua–Mishan Fault, in response to ridge subduction of the Paleo-Asian Ocean Plate, resulted in a north-eastward movement of the Khanka Massif. The occurrence of Precambrian detrital zircon grains (with ages of 1900–1700 and 900–700 Ma) implies the presence of an ancient basement within the Khanka Massif.     

基底岩系和花岗岩类Pb-Nd同位素组成限制祁连山带的构造属性

对扬子陆块的西北部边界至今尚未得到有效的限定.中央山系西段祁连山带基底岩系和花岗岩类的Pb-Nd同位素组成为限定扬子陆块的西北边界提供限制.祁连山带前寒武纪基底岩系的Nd同位素亏损地幔模式年龄(T_DM)主要分布于0.75-2.5 Ga之间, 峰值为2.1 Ga左右; 该带古生代花岗岩类的T_DM变化于1.07-2.14 Ga之间.由此表明, 祁连山带地壳增长主要发生于元古宙, 缺乏太古宙地壳增长的信息.祁连山带前寒武纪基底和花岗岩类全岩均以高放射成因的铅同位素组成为特征, 极大多数样品的206Pb/204Pb > 18.0, 207Pb/204Pb > 15.5, 208Pb/204Pb > 38.0.因此, 祁连山带地壳增长特征和铅同位素组成特征与华北陆块存在明显的差异, 而与扬子陆块一致, 从而表明祁连山带具有扬子型陆块的构造属性.因此, 扬子陆块的西北部边界扩大至祁连山带的北侧.自新元古代以来, 祁连山带经历了岩石圈裂解作用, 并有洋盆形成, 但这些构造事件均发生在扬子型陆块内部的地质背景.      

Tectonomagmatic origin of some volcanic and sub-volcanic rocks from the Lower Benue rift,Nigeria

Petrological and geochemical studies on some volcanic and sub-volcanic rocks from the Lower Benue rift indicate that they are basalts, basaltic and doleritic sills, trachybasalt and trachyte which generally belong to the alkali basalt series. The alkaline affinity is clearly evident in both their normative and modal mineral compositions, as well as their chemical compositions. The generally high fractionation indices [(La/Yb)N] are 7.06 to 17.65 for the basaltic rocks and 23.59 to 135. 35 for the trachytic rocks, against low values commonly seen in subalkaline (tholeiitic) series, with strong enrichments in the incompatible elements. All this strongly supports their alkaline affinity. The basaltic rocks are generally fine-grained and porphyritic, consisting of phenocrysts of clinopyroxene and olivine in the groundmass of the same minerals together with plagioclase. The clinopyroxene is either diopside or clinoenstatite. The trachyte consists of oligoclase, orthoclase, biotite, quartz and exhibits typical trachytic, flow structure. The basaltic and doleritic sills are commonly altered, with calcite and epidote as common alteration prod-ucts. This alteration, which is reflected in the erratic behaviour of K2O, MnO and P2O5 on Harker variation diagrams, high values of LOI, strong depletions in the more mobile LILE (Rb, K, Ba and Sr) and high Th/Ta ratios, is attributed to the effects of an aqueous fluid phase and crustal contamination. On the whole, the mineralogical, as well as major-, trace-elements and REE data suggest that the rocks are co-genetic and most likely derived from differentiation of an alkali olivine-basalt magma, generating through variable low degrees of partial melting of probably an enriched lithospheric (upper) mantle following an asthenospheric uplift (mantle plume or intumescence) with HIMU signa-tures in a within-plate continental rift tectonic setting. This corroborates earlier results obtained for the intrusive rocks in the region.

柴达木周缘印支期花岗岩同位素地球化学特征及其对基底属性的制约

花岗岩同位素地球化学是探讨块体基底属性的重要手段,柴达木和欧龙布鲁克地块中两印支期岩体(香日德岩体和察汉诺岩体)的主量元素、微量元素和Pb-Sr-Nd同位素研究表明,两岩体均属过铝质花岗岩,具相似的微量元素(包括稀土元素)组成模式,Sr-Nd同位素特征显示轻微的不均一性,(87 Sr/86 Sr)t=0.708 46-0.712 89,End(t)=-5.54--7.80,tDM=1.49-1.68 Ga,两个岩体以高放射成因铅为特征,初始铅同位素比值为:(206 Pb/204 Pb)t=18.326-18.644,(207 Pb/204 Pb):=15.560-15.693,(208 Pb/204 Pb)t=38.172-38.549.岩体地球化学特征与基底变质岩显示岩浆派生于中元古代的基底岩石的部分熔融.两岩体与西秦岭花岗岩类Nd-Pb同位素特征对比表明,柴达木和欧龙布鲁克地块基底性质与西秦岭一样,具扬子块体的构造属性.     

大别山北部卢镇关杂岩的Pb同位素特征及大地构造属性

Pb同位素组成研究表明,卢镇关杂岩中花岗片麻岩的^204Pb为1．366％～1．392％(平均为1．381％)、^206Pb／^204Pb为17．083～17．874(平均为17．463)和^204Pb／^204Pb为38．161～38．794(平均为38．438);斜长角闪岩的^204Pb为1．386％～1．412％(平均1．400％),其^206Pb／^204Pb为17．001～17．492(平均17．227)和^208Pb／^204Pb37．390～38．151(平均37．713)。二者的总平均为：^204Pb1．389％,^204Pb／^204Pb17．362,^208Pb／^204Pb38．127。与北部杂岩带和南部超高压变质带比较,卢镇关杂岩明显类似于南部超高压变质带的Ph同位素组成即表现为贫非放射成因铅和富集放射成因铅,表明它们应属于扬子大陆板块的一部分。考虑到北部杂岩带在地壳结构上应位于南部超高压带之下,以及北大别正片麻岩具有中、下地壳性质而南大别花岗片麻岩则具有上地壳特征。因此,卢镇关杂岩也应属于扬子大陆的上地壳,华北与扬子两个陆块之间的缝合线应在卢镇关杂岩以北。但是,由于在北淮阳带中一直未发现榴辉岩或榴辉岩相岩石等高压一超高压岩石以及有关印支期变质作用记录,说明至少卢镇关杂岩在印支期未卷入深俯冲,大别山的印支期俯冲带应位于卢镇关杂岩的南侧即磨子潭晓天断裂附近,大别山印支期深俯冲应属于扬子板块的陆内俯冲。

阿拉善地块是一个被造山带和断裂带围限的前寒武纪微陆块,其早前寒武纪变质基底的性质和归属一直存在争议.本文根据笔者最近在阿拉善地块东部地区获取的研究资料,结合阿拉善地块近年来的研究进展,对阿拉善地块东部早前寒武纪变质基底的性质和归属进行了讨论,认为阿拉善地块东部地区出露的2.64 Ga的斜长角闪岩和～2.5 Ga的TTG...     

云南东部江川生物群中的香肠状疑难化石——Tawuia化石属性的新解释

云南东部伊迪卡拉（震旦）系顶部灯影组旧城段的江川生物群是华南又一大类丰富且多样化的宏体化石群,其以碳质压膜的方式保存。在该生物群中,我们发现大量香肠状碳质压膜的宏体化石,与成冰(南华）纪全球大冰期之前中、新元古代地层中广泛分布的Tawuia碳膜化石的大小、形态非常相似。其最大宽度达4. 5 mm,最大长度可达4 cm,长宽比均>2,膜面光滑,未见其他稳定纹饰,有的化石标本边缘碳质保存较多,可见深黑色边缘环带。但部分化石保存的形态与常见的直棒状I形、U形、C形Tawuia化石相比却较为特殊,呈现直角L形、8字形、宽U形、环状O形等多种保存形态,个别标本弯折部位可见明显的碳质增厚和横脊纹残留,边缘残存有大小不一的刺状突起构造。这类特异形态保存的似Tawuia化石显然不能解释为以往较为公认的浮游型叶状体藻类,而可能与冰期前的新元古代早期鲁西、淮南宏体化石群中的疑似蠕形动物亲缘的化石有传承关系。上述新发现的化石形态表明：似Tawuia的碳膜宏体化石可能是多源属性的早期多细胞生物。其中短带至长带状叶状体,可见短柄突起及疑似固着器构造的化石可确认为底栖宏体藻类;多数的叶状体推测为香肠状或长囊状,生活史中包含远洋浮游的类型,可能归属于原始不分枝的多核体藻类或早期分化出的中空囊状的多细胞藻类;本文展示的部分规则变形的似Tawuia化石,更可能是两侧对称动物亲缘的,生活于近海的底栖生物体发生主动扭曲后,被特异埋藏所呈现出的特殊保存形态,而随机浮游或表栖的多细胞藻类死亡沉积时不会形成类似形态的化石。     

Purification and Refolding of a Novel β-Agarase from Inclusion Body of E. coli

β-agarase AgaB appears to represent a new family of glycoside hydrolase; it is structurally and functionally different from other known agarases. In the present study, AgaB was expressed with a temperature-inducible expression system in E. coli BL21 (DE3) as a fusion protein bearing a C-terminal hexahistidine tag. The protein existed mainly in the form of inclusion body.After being washed and solubilized, AgaB in inclusion body was denatured and purified to electrophoretic purity by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. The purified AgaB was then refolded using a simple pulse dilution method, and the refolded AgaB showed a high specific hydrolysis activity of about 1600 units/mg protein. Forty milligrams of refolded pure protein were obtained from 1L of culture.
