甘肃合黎山古元古代正长岩的发现及其对阿拉善地块大地构造属性的启示

阿拉善地块的大地构造属性是近年来地质界激烈争论的科学问题:是华北克拉通的一部分,还是在前寒武纪尚未与华北克拉通拼合?研究阿拉善地块的基底并与华北克拉通主体进行对比,对探讨这一问题具有重要启示。阿拉善地块的基底仅在其东部和西南缘零星出露,且前人的研究主要集中在地块东部。在阿拉善地块西部的合黎山地区,有正长岩侵入龙首山群,并被震旦系不整合覆盖。该正长岩强烈富钾(K_2O=13.77%),轻、重稀土明显分异((La/Yb)_N=46.62),显示Nb-Ta负异常和Pb-Zr-Hf正异常,并具有高Sr低Nd的同位素特征(ε_(Nd)(t)=-5.05),表明该岩体源于玄武质下地壳的部分熔融。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年表明,该正长岩形成于(1872±12) Ma,即古元古代,并记录了～2.7 Ga的地壳生长以及～2.5 Ga和～1.95 Ga的岩浆活动。合黎山古元古代正长岩的发现补充了阿拉善地块前寒武纪基底的组成,进一步完善了阿拉善地块新太古代—古元古代基底和构造热事件的时代格架,且与华北克拉通主体十分相似,指示二者具有明显的亲缘性。     

基于磁力资料的珠江口盆地构造单元分布特征

珠江口盆地是南海北部陆坡最大的前新生代沉积盆地,油气资源丰富,由于新的地球物理资料未得以充分应用等问题导致盆地内部构造单元分布特征存在诸多不同看法,这些问题制约了盆地的进一步勘探和开发。本文以最新实测1∶10万高精度航磁数据为基础,采用切线法对研究区航磁异常深度进行反演计算,结合钻井、地震及南海北部陆域物性资料研究珠江口盆地磁性基底分布特征。在充分调研珠江口盆地已有构造单元划分的基础上,以盆地磁性基底展布特征为基础,结合断裂、区域构造等对珠江口盆地内部构造单元进行研究。研究表明:珠江口盆地磁性基底深度在0～9 km之间,磁性基底呈"三隆两坳"构造格局,整个坳陷区具有"南北分带,东西分块"的特征; NE向深大断裂为控盆断裂,常为盆地二级构造单元的边界,NW向断裂常控制次一级构造单元并影响其展布形态。     

扬子克拉通北缘“神农架群底界”的再厘定及其地层学意义

神农架群的底界问题一直以来悬而未决。神农架群底界能否获取,已成为神农架群能否完美成为待建系候选层型的关键。距神农架东南几十公里的黄陵穹隆东北部地区自下而上发育中-新元古代西汊河组、吴家台组、浇园山组、南沱组和陡山沱组等地层,且胡正祥等(2012)认为该地吴家台组为神农架群中下部地层,那么该地是否存在神农架群的底界自然就引起大家的极大关注。本文基于该地浇园山剖面西汊河组石英片岩样品(0529-1),吴家台组底部砾岩(0228-4)和砂岩(0228-5)3件样品,应用LA-ICP-MS方法进行了碎屑锆石年龄的测试分析,同时结合地层单元间接触关系和岩石学与沉积学特征等标志,最终约束吴家台组形成时代。结果表明,崆岭北部樟村坪以北浇园山剖面西汊河组与上覆吴家台组呈不整合接触;西汊河组碎屑锆石年龄谱仅显示太古宙和2.0Ga两个明显的峰值;但吴家台组碎屑锆石年龄谱不仅包含了与西汉河组相同的太古宙和2.0Ga两个年龄峰值,而且还含有0.8Ga的弱峰值,由此断定西汊河组和吴家台组形成时限是完全不同的。前者应年轻于2.0Ga,但由于其为角闪岩相变质岩,又不同于扬子克拉通最终(1.8Ga)固结前的变质结晶基底岩石组合,因此推测西汊河组大致为中元古代,同理,吴家台组应形成于0.8Ga以后,结合吴家台组之上具有典型的南沱组冰碛杂砾岩,因此其时代应界于青白口纪晚期-南华纪早期之间,进一步结合各岩组砾岩中砾石组分的证据认为,吴家台组应相当于区域上莲沱组。同时研究表明,西汊河组和吴家台组物源主要来自黄陵穹隆核部中太古代TTG片麻岩和新太古代的花岗质片麻岩,古元古代碎屑锆石主要来源于崆岭杂岩中部的火山-岩浆岩以及黄陵穹隆南翼的新元古代岩浆岩。     

扬子地台西南缘朱家坝辉绿岩地球化学特征及其地质意义

近年来在扬子西缘大量的早—中元古代岩浆岩证据显示扬子地台内形成的断陷盆地及早中元古代岩浆岩与全球性的Columbia超大陆裂解事件有着密不可分的联系。这种联系主要表现在区内早中元古代的岩浆岩地球化学特征上。为了探讨武定裂陷槽朱家坝辉绿岩的地球化学特征及其意义,以12块朱家坝辉绿岩的地球化学分析数据为基础,在分析了其主微量和稀土元素的特征之后发现朱家坝辉绿岩w(SiO_2)为44.16%～48.08%,w(K_2O+Na_2O)为3.54%～4.26%,在化学成分上属于钙碱性岩石;其稀土元素的总量为183.1×10^-6～206.91×10^-6,LREE/HREE=1.44～1.96,表明在其形成过程中发生了明显的地壳混然或者是岩浆分异作用,其化学成分基本可以反映出岩浆源区的化学组成特征。基于此,对朱家坝辉绿岩进行了源区性质、构造环境和可能的成因机制探讨,认为朱家坝辉绿岩形成于拉张环境之中,很有可能是在昆阳裂谷形成初期形成,其岩浆来源于较富集的地幔源区,形成过程中几乎没有地壳物质参与。     

鄂尔多斯盆地基底结构及早期沉积盖层演化

鄂尔多斯盆地基底主要形成于太古宙—古元古代,岩石组成极为复杂,大多经历了较强的区域变质作用,变质程度一般达到了(高)角闪岩相—麻粒岩相,属变质程度较深的区域变质岩系,主要是各种片岩、片麻岩及变粒岩、石英岩、大理石及花岗片麻岩等;基底结构具有较为明显的分区特征,可划分为北部、西北部及中南部三个大区,走向总体以北东向为主;从演化过程来看,鄂尔多斯盆地基底是华北克拉通形成过程中的太古宙微陆块之一,古元古代末可能是其与华北拼合为一体的关键时期。早期沉积盖层主要经历了长城纪陆内裂陷、蓟县纪边部沉降、青白口纪—南华纪整体隆升和震旦纪边缘拗陷4个演化阶段,沉积环境总体以海相为主,晚期局部具陆相特征,不同时期的沉积物特征有较大差异,可能主要受构造、气候环境的共同制约;早期沉积盖层整体上受基底结构和构造控制明显,越早期影响越大;盆地西南边缘一直是最活跃的构造沉降区,基底构造所处位置特殊可能是其最主要的原因。     

Tectonic evolution of the West Kunlun Orogenic Belt along the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau:Implications for the assembly of the Tarim terrane to Gondwana

The West Kunlun orogenic belt(WKOB) along the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is important for understanding the evolution of the Proto-and Paleo-Tethys oceans. Previous investigations have focused on the igneous rocks and ophiolites distributed mostly along the Xinjiang-Tibet road and the China-Pakistan road, and have constructed a preliminary tectonic model for this orogenic belt. However, few studies have focused on the so-called Precambrian basement in this area. As a result, the tectonic affinity of the individual terranes of the WKOB and their detailed evolution process are uncertain. Here we report new field observations, zircon and monazite U-Pb ages of the "Precambrian basement" of the South Kunlun terrane(SKT) and the Tianshuihai terrane(TSHT), two major terranes in the WKOB. Based on new zircon U-Pb age data, the amphibolite-facies metamorphosed volcanosedimentary sequence within SKT was deposited during the late Neoproterozoic to Cambrian(600-500 Ma), and the flysch-affinity Tianshuihai Group, as the basement of the TSHT, was deposited during the late Neoproterozoic rather than Mesoproterozoic. The rock association of the volcano-sedimentary sequence within SKT suggests a large early Paleozoic accretionary wedge formed by the long-term lowangle southward subduction of the Proto-Tethys Ocean between Tarim and TSHT. The amphibolitefacies metamorphism in SKT occurred at ca. 440 Ma. This ca. 440 Ma metamorphism is genetically related to the closure of the Proto-Tethys Ocean between Tarim and the Tianshuihai terrane, which led to the assembly of Tarim to Eastern Gondwana and the final formation of the Gondwana. Since the late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic, the northward subduction of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean along the HongshihuQiaoertianshan belt produced the voluminous early Mesozoic arc-signature granites along the southern part of NKT-TSHT. The Paleo-Tethys ocean between TSHT and Karakorum closed at ca. 200 Ma, as demonstrated by the monazite age of the paragneiss in the Kangxiwa Group. Our study does not favor the existence of a Precambrian basement in SKT.

Tectonic inversion assessed by integration of geological and geophysical data: The intracontinental Rio do Peixe Basin,NE Brazil

Common basin models assume that the post‐rift tectonic evolution of most basins is usually associated with tectonic quiescence. However, tectonic inversion during the post‐rift phase has been proposed for several sedimentary basins worldwide, but how and why it happens is still a matter of debate, especially in intracontinental settings where the lithosphere is old and thick. Here, we use geological and geophysical data from the Rio do Peixe Basin in NE Brazil to show evidence that intracontinental sedimentary basins can be tectonically inverted by far‐field compressive stresses acting on pre‐existing weakness zones of lithospheric‐scale where stresses can concentrate and inversion can occur. Geomorphological and field data combined with seismic reflection, gravimetric and borehole data show that: (a) inversion occurred along two main Precambrian lithospheric‐scale shear zones, the Patos (E‐W trending) and Portalegre (NE‐SW trending), which had already been reactivated as basin‐bounding faults during the earlier rift stage; (b) post‐rift reactivation affected (mostly) the original master normal faults with the largest rift displacements, and locally produced new reverse faults; (c) during contraction, deformation was partitioned between fault reactivation and buckling of the incompetent sediment pushed against the hard basement; (d) all these signs of inversion have been observed in the field and can be demonstrated on seismic reflection profiles; and (e) combined gravimetric and seismic data show that the main structures of the basin were followed by an inversion. These data are consistent with the operation of WSW‐ENE horizontal maximum compressive stress as a result of combined pushes of the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (towards the W) and the Andes (towards the E), responsible for the post‐rift oblique inversion of normal faults inherited from the rift phase and formed with vertical maximum compressive stress.     

Palaeomagnetic study of Palaeoproterozoic granitoids from the Voronezh Massif, Russia

A palaeomagnetic investigation has been carried out of rocks from the eastern part of the Voronezh Massif, which constitutes, together with the Ukrainian Shield, the Sarmatian segment in the southern part of the East European Craton. The samples were collected in a quarry close to the town of Pavlovsk (50.4°N, 40.1°E), where a syenitic-granitic body intrudes Archaean units. U–Pb (zircon) dating has yielded an age of 2080  Ma for the intrusion.
  Two characteristic magnetic components, A and B, were isolated by thermal and alternating-field demagnetization. Component A was obtained from granites and quartz syenites (11 samples) and has a mean direction of D = 229°, I = 28°, and a pole position at 12°N, 172°E. This pole is close to a contemporary mean pole (9°N, 187°E) for the Ukrainian Shield, which implies that the Voronezh Massif and the Shield constituted a single entity at 2.06  Ga. These poles differ from contemporaneous poles of the Fennoscandian Shield, indicating that the relative positions of the two shields were different from their present configuration about 2100  Myr ago.
  A component B, isolated only in quartz monzonites (five samples), has a mean direction D = 144°, I = 49°, and a pole position at 4°N, 251°E, which is close to late Sveconorwegian (approximately 900  Ma) poles for Baltica. This suggests that the East European Craton was consolidated some time between 2080 and 900  Ma. Comparison with other palaeomagnetic data permit us to narrow this time span to 1770–1340  Ma.     

基底岩系对火山岩型金矿成矿的意义

本文以浙江治岭头、黑龙江团结沟、辽宁二道沟和日本菱刈等四个金矿床为例,说明火山岩型金矿之矿体除产于火山岩中之外,亦产于火山岩下伏基底岩系中,其基底岩系对火山岩型金矿成矿的意义在于:①基底岩石原岩常含有基性和超基性岩所含金丰度较高,且同位素资料显示出成矿的部分金来源于基底岩石;②基底岩系所含碳较高有利于金的成矿;③基底岩块相应上隆部位是成矿有利地带。
