Mesozoic to Cenozoic retroarc basin evolution during changes in tectonic regime,southern Central Andes (31–33°S): Insights from zircon U-Pb geochronology

The southern Central Andes of Argentina and Chile (27–40°S) are the product of deformation, arc magmatism, and basin evolution above a long-lived subduction system. With sufficient timing and provenance constraints, Andean stratigraphic and structural records enable delineation of Mesozoic-Cenozoic variations in subsidence and tectonic regime. For the La Ramada Basin in the High Andes at ∼31–33°S, new assessments of provenance and depositional age provided by detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology help resolve deformational patterns and subsidence mechanisms over the past ∼200 Myr. Marine and nonmarine clastic deposits recorded the unroofing of basin margins and sediment contributions from the Andean magmatic arc during Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous extension, thermal subsidence, and possible slab rollback. Subsequent sediment delivery from the Coastal Cordillera corresponded with initial flexural accommodation in the La Ramada Basin during Andean shortening of late Early Cretaceous to Late Cretaceous age. The architecture of the foreland basin was influenced by the distribution of precursor extensional depocenters, suggesting that inherited basin geometries provided important controls on later flexural subsidence and basin evolution. Following latest Cretaceous to early Paleogene tectonic quiescence and a depositional hiatus, newly dated deposits in the western La Ramada Basin provide evidence for a late Paleogene episode of intra-arc and proximal retroarc extension (development of the Abanico Basin, principally in Chile, at ∼28–44°S). Inversion of this late Paleogene extensional basin system during Neogene compression indicates the southern Central Andes were produced by at least two punctuated episodes of shortening and uplift of Late Cretaceous and Neogene age.     

桂东北平乐县沙子煌斑岩年代学及锆石Hf同位素特征

正在中生代,华南地区经历了印支与燕山两期构造事件,并完成了由特提斯构造域向太平洋构造域的转换,构造应力场也由总体的挤压变为拉伸体制(Jia et al., 2004)。然而华南中生代构造属性还存在着较大分歧,对华南地区中生代岩石成因及构造背景的认识也尚存争议(周新民,2003)。南岭被认为是华南中生代构造体制转换的转换区(Shu et al.,2009),桂东北地区位于南岭西段,岩浆活动频繁,     

阿尔金南缘冰沟南组火山岩锆石U-Pb年龄及其前寒武纪构造演化意义

在阿尔金南缘玉苏普阿勒克塔格北侧出露的冰沟组火山岩为一套与滨浅海相细粒陆源碎屑岩和碳酸盐岩共生的中基性火山岩,主要岩石类型有蚀变熔结凝灰岩、安山质凝灰熔岩和强蚀变玄武安山岩。该火山岩作为Columbia超大陆裂解阶段的物质记录,对其年代学和产出的地质构造背景的探讨,有助于探讨阿尔金南缘前寒武纪构造演化过程。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素年代学研究结果显示,强蚀变玄武安山岩样品具有两组锆石年龄,第一组年龄分别为944. 7±6. 4 Ma(n=8,MSWD=0. 057)和951. 2±6. 3 Ma(n=12,MSWD=0. 042),测点位于锆石震荡环带上,显示了典型的岩浆锆石的特征,代表火山岩的形成时代,属青白口纪早期;第二组年龄介于446±5～458±4Ma,与区域高压—超高压岩石的原岩的退变质时代(～450 Ma)一致,可能代表受该期陆壳深俯冲/折返事件改造。另外,228±6 Ma、229±4 Ma和130±1 Ma的年龄信息,可能代表火山岩还遭受了晚三叠世和早白垩世构造热事件改造。构造背景分析表明,该火山岩形成于板内裂谷环境,对应于Columbia超大陆裂解阶段的晚期,之后索尔库里群沉积盆地由拉张转换到汇聚的构造背景,转为Rodinia超大陆汇聚阶段。结合区域地质特征和该火山岩年龄信息,进一步制约了阿尔金南缘Columbia超大陆裂解和Rodinia超大陆汇聚的时限分别为945～1602 Ma和871～945 Ma。     

Tectonic cycles of the New England Orogen,eastern Australia: A Review

The New England Orogen (NEO), the youngest of the orogens of the Tasmanides of eastern Australia, is defined by two main cycles of compression–extension. The compression component involves thrust tectonics and advance of the arc towards the continental plate, while extension is characterised by rifting, basin formation, thermal relaxation and retreat of the arc towards the oceanic plate. A compilation of 623 records of U–Pb zircon geochronology rock ages from Geoscience Australia, the geological surveys of Queensland and New South Wales and other published research throughout the orogen, has helped to clarify its complex tectonic history. This contribution focuses on the entire NEO and is aimed at those who are unfamiliar with the details of the orogen and who could benefit from a summary of current knowledge. It aims to fill a gap in recent literature between broad-scale overviews of the orogen incorporated as part of wider research on the Tasmanides and detailed studies usually specific to either the northern or southern parts of the orogen. Within the two main cycles of compression–extension, six accepted and distinct tectonic phases are defined and reviewed. Maps of geological processes active during each phase reveal the centres of activity during each tectonic phase, and the range in U–Pb zircon ages highlights the degree of diachronicity along the length of the NEO. In addition, remnants of the early Permian offshore arc formed during extensive slab rollback, are identified by the available geochronology. Estimates of the beginning of the Hunter-Bowen phase of compression, generally thought to commence around 265?Ma are complicated by the presence of extensional-type magmatism in eastern Queensland that occurred between 270 and 260?Ma.     

蚌埠五河地区金矿床成矿物质来源及其年代学研究——以河口和荣渡金矿床为例

安徽省蚌埠五河地区河口和荣渡金矿床是华北地台东南缘蚌埠台隆和五河台坳邻接区域的两个金矿床。本文通过对比研究河口和荣渡金矿床的地质特征、流体包裹体地球化学、Re-Os同位素以及H-O-S同位素特征,来厘定其形成时代、探讨其成矿物质来源和成矿过程。河口及荣渡金矿床矿体主要呈细脉浸染状、脉状和网脉状赋存于古太古代西堌堆地层中,成矿过程可划分为4个阶段:(1)石英脉阶段(早阶段);(2)石英-黄铁矿阶段(早阶段);(3)石英-多金属硫化物阶段(中阶段);(4)碳酸盐阶段(晚阶段);其中,中阶段为金的主要矿化时期。河口和荣渡金矿床早阶段(石英脉和石英-黄铁矿阶段)的石英内发育富液两相包裹体(WL型)、富气两相包裹体(WG)以及少量的含子晶的气液固三相包裹体(S型),均一温度为322～412℃,盐度介于5. 56%～15. 67%NaCleqv之间,属于高温中低盐度流体体系;中阶段(石英-多金属硫化物脉阶段)石英内发育有富液两相包裹体(WL型)、富气两相包裹体(WG),均一温度为257～357℃,盐度介于3. 06%～7. 45%NaCleqv之间,属于中高温低盐度流体体系。从成矿早阶段到主成矿阶段流体的盐度和温度都发生了较大程度的降低,推测矿化过程可能是由流体温度和盐度的降低引起的。成矿阶段石英中流体水的δ~(18)O值介于5. 01‰～7. 90‰之间,δD_(V-SMOW)值介于-89‰～-65‰之间,表明两个矿床的成矿流体为主要为岩浆水。河口金矿床矿石中的黄铁矿δ~(34)S值介于3. 89‰～9. 65‰之间,荣渡金矿床方铅矿δ~(34)S值为0. 76‰,表明河口及荣渡金矿床δ~(34)S值具有岩浆硫的特征,后期由于岩浆去气作用或地层硫的参与使矿石中的δ~(34)S值升高。因此,这两个金矿床可能是与岩浆热液有关的热液石英脉型金矿床。对荣渡金矿床矿石的黄铁矿进行Re-Os同位素定年,确定金矿床形成于134±19Ma,结合前人对该地区所做的岩浆岩定年工作,推测荣渡金矿床的成矿可能与区内130Ma左右的岩浆活动密切相关。

为深入了解中北部拉萨地块构造背景,利用LA-ICP-MS技术对洛布勒铁矿床成矿花岗闪长岩锆石进行了U-Th-Pb同位素测定,分析了隆格尔、洛布勒铁矿床侵入岩岩石地球化学和Sr-Nd-Pb同位素组成.获得洛布勒花岗闪长岩锆石U-Pb年龄为111.3±1.6 Ma(MSWD=0.61,n=9).隆格尔和洛布勒铁矿床侵入岩高硅(66.63%~69.02%和64.33%~64.82%)、富碱(全碱为5.91%~6.40%和5.81%~6.05%)、低A/CNK(0.91~0.97和0.94~0.95)、SiO2与P2O5含量负相关;稀土元素总量较低(∑REE为123.11×10^-6~148.83×10^-6和96.17×10^-6~101.92×10^-6),球粒陨石标准化配分模式图右倾,弱Eu负异常(0.70~0.82和0.79~0.81),富集大离子亲石元素Rb、Th、U、K、Pb等,亏损Ba和高场强元素Nb、Ta、Sr、Ti等.隆格尔花岗岩全岩和斜长石(206Pb/204Pb)t为18.474和18.626,(207Pb/204Pb)t为15.657和15.722,(208Pb/204Pb)t为38.592和39.145,(87Sr/86Sr)i为0.704 757 6和0.707 047 3,(143Nd/144Nd)i为0.512 281和0.512 339,εNd(t)为-4.13和-2.99,tDM2为1.15 Ga和1.24 Ga;洛布勒花岗闪长岩(206Pb/204Pb)t比值为18.281,(207Pb/204Pb)t比值为15.616,(208Pb/204Pb)t比值为38.369,(87Sr/86Sr)i为0.706 551 4;(143Nd/144Nd)i为0.512 309,εNd(t)为-3.62,tDM2为1.20 Ga.结果表明,措勤-隆格尔铁矿床成矿侵入岩为中钾-高钾钙碱性岩I型花岗岩,为早白垩世晚期岛弧岩浆活动产物,岩浆源于地壳物质部分熔融,岩浆演化过程经历了壳幔岩浆混合和围岩混染.结合前人研究成果,通过对比白垩纪中北部拉萨地块和南部羌塘地块成矿事件的差异,提出中北部拉萨地块113±3 Ma岩浆活动和Fe(-Cu)成矿事件与向南俯冲的班公湖-怒江洋壳发生断离有关.     

西藏拉萨地块盐湖石英闪长岩成因：锆石SHRIMP U- Pb年代学、地球化学及Sr- Nd- Pb- Hf同位素的制约

西藏阿里盐湖地区发育不同类型的火成岩,通常被认为形成于班公湖-怒江特提斯洋南向俯冲板片发生断离的构造背景。本文报道了盐湖石英闪长岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄,全岩地球化学以及Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf同位素数据。盐湖石英闪长岩的锆石~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄为118.5±1.9Ma,属早白垩世晚期。石英闪长岩样品主量元素表现为富钠的钙碱性岩石系列,A/CNK值介于0.84～0.89之间,属准铝质。微量元素富集Rb、K、Th、U等大离子亲石元素(LILE)和轻稀土元素(LREE),强烈亏损Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf、P、Ti等高场强元素(HFSE)和重稀土元素(HREE),无明显的Eu异常(δEu=0.81～0.98),无白云母和碱性暗色矿物,属准铝质未分异的I型花岗岩。盐湖石英闪长岩的(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i值为0.7045～0.7048,ε_(Nd)(t)值介于+0.5～+2.1之间,ε_(Hf)(t)值介于+7.9～+13之间,Hf同位素模式年龄t_(DM2)变化于283～674Ma之间。基于同位素以及岩石地球化学数据,表明盐湖石英闪长岩很可能是具亏损地幔印记的新生下地壳在角闪岩相发生部分熔融作用形成的。结合本文以及区域上的研究资料,盐湖石英闪长岩的形成时代和岩石地球化学特征与盐湖复式岩体中的花岗岩存在较大差异,具较低的锆石饱和温度(596～614℃),表明该岩体的形成尚未受到幔源物质上涌带来的热作用影响,很可能形成于板片断离前,班公湖-怒江特提斯洋持续南向俯冲的板片发生折返,俯冲角度变陡的深俯冲背景。

四川盐源西范坪斑岩型铜矿位于扬子板块西南缘,通过对含矿二长斑岩进行锆石U-Pb定年,获得年龄为31.68±0.28 Ma(MSWD=1.2;2σ),表明其形成时代为古近纪渐新世早期,与区内碱性斑岩岩浆活动的高峰期一致。岩石碱度率指数(A.R.)为3.59～3.69,K/N为0.89～1.11,A/NK为1.16～1.24,A/CNK为0.97～1.13,属准铝—过铝质碱性石英二长斑岩;岩石高度富集轻稀土元素,相对亏损重稀土元素,δEu(0.80～0.85)异常不明显,并且富Sr贫Yb(Y),具高Sr/Yb和Sr/Y比值,系典型的埃达克岩。西范坪埃达克质含矿斑岩为印度板块与欧亚大陆板块碰撞造山晚期远程压力释放环境下,拆沉下地壳部分熔融的产物。     

上扬子西南缘早三叠世嘉陵江组物源分析和构造环境:沉积学、重矿物电子探针和U- Pb年龄的限定

上扬子西南缘地区广泛分布峨眉山玄武岩,受其影响在中带金阳和外带荥经地区嘉陵江组发育滨岸和潮坪环境沉积物。本文在交错层理恢复的物源方向基础上,根据重矿物组成、重矿物电子探针和碎屑锆石测年结果,综合分析不同区域嘉陵江组物源区,进而探讨嘉陵江组形成的构造环境。嘉陵江组砂岩碎屑重矿物锆石、磷灰石、铬尖晶石等指示物源主要来自于岩浆岩,且自中带至外带基性岩浆岩所占比重逐渐减少。电气石电子探针分析显示,二者物源主要来自于贫锂花岗岩和变质砂岩、板岩。铬尖晶石显示,金阳地区物源来自峨眉山玄武岩和洋岛岩浆岩类岩石,荥经物源主要来自洋岛岩浆岩类岩石,个别为峨眉山玄武岩。碎屑锆石表明,嘉陵江组物源主要来自于新元古代岩浆岩和晚二叠世峨眉山玄武岩,前者经历再搬运。综合物源分析表明,嘉陵江组物源主要来自康滇古陆,岩石类型主要为峨眉山玄武岩和砂岩等。沉积序列和物源分析表明,嘉陵江组反映了沉积物蚀顶过程。结合地震资料、大火成岩省的分析成果表明,嘉陵江组形成于火山型裂谷边缘。
