海南省保亭县新村钼矿地质特征及成因探讨

新村钼矿位于海南省保亭县境内,是在海南省发现的又一个达中型规模的钼矿床。矿体主要赋存在次火山岩带中,矿石类型主要有细脉浸染型和石英脉型两种。辉钼矿Re-Os测年研究获得95.6±0.89~97.8±0.5 Ma和112.3±4.2 Ma的模式年龄,表明矿区可能经历两期矿化,它们可能分别与保城岩体侵位和火山活动有关。硫同位素研究显示,主要的硫源为岩浆源。通过地质资料综合分析,表明新村钼矿为次火山岩容矿,为岩浆后期热液作用形成的热液脉型钼矿床。     

北淮阳早白垩世金刚台组火山岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

金刚台组火山岩是大别造山带北缘北淮阳晚中生代火山岩带的重要组成部分,选取金刚台组的粗面安山岩、熔结凝灰岩以及紧邻火山岩的正长斑岩,用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb法进行了年龄测定,结果显示:两个火山岩样品的年龄分别为128.8±0.7 Ma和127.6±0.5 Ma,紧邻火山岩的正长斑岩的年龄为129.8±0.7 Ma,这3组年龄值在误差范围内近于一致,说明金刚台组火山岩和紧邻火山岩的正长斑岩是在很短的时间内形成的。这些年龄与整个苏鲁-大别造山带内早白垩岩世岩浆活动年龄的峰值区间一致,可能意味着它们形成于相同的动力学条件下。     

豫西老君山地区钼矿地质特征及辉钼矿 Re-Os同位素年龄

东秦岭钼矿带内的金堆城、南泥湖、上房沟、石家湾、雷门沟、东沟、夜长坪等钼矿床均产于燕山期小规模的花岗斑岩体中。近些年来,在大面积出露的老君山花岗岩基内及其与围岩的接触带中亦发现了斑岩型钼矿床和矿点,是一个找矿潜力较大的远景区。为了总结该区钼矿的成矿规律和建立成矿模式,以便更有效地指导找矿勘查,笔者在矿床地质特征和成因研究的基础上,对钼矿的成矿作用时限进行了约束。硫同位素研究显示,老君山地区钼矿床（点）的δ34S值为2.4‰⁶.3‰,表明其硫很可能来自岩浆流体。氢、氧同位素研究表明,其成矿流体的δDV-SMOW为-108‰^-82‰,δ18OV-SMOW为6.3‰¹0.4‰,反映出成矿流体来自混合的岩浆水与大气降水。文章对该区3个钼矿床（点）的6件不同矿化类型的辉钼矿样品进行了Re-Os同位素测年,获得了辉钼矿的Re-Os模式年龄为（109.8±1.6）^114.5±1.7Ma,等时线年龄为（114.3±3.4）Ma,表明其成矿作用发生于早白垩世,与赋矿的老君山花岗岩体的侵位年龄相一致,应为同一岩浆-构造-流体活动的产物。老君山地区钼矿床（点）与东沟、鱼池岭、汤家坪和沙坪沟等斑岩钼矿床,均形成于早白垩世中国东部区域岩石圈大规模伸展的构造环境。     

西藏努日矽卡岩型铜钨钼矿辉钼矿 Re-Os定年及其地质意义

西藏努日层状矽卡岩型铜钨钼矿床是冈底斯东段南缘斑岩-矽卡岩铜多金属成矿带上规模最大的矿床。笔者对采自该矿床的9件不同产状、不同形态含钼矿石中的辉钼矿进行了Re-Os同位素组成分析,获得其模式年龄为23.46~24.77 Ma,等时线年龄为(23.36±0.49) Ma(MSWD=0.60),模式年龄与等时线年龄结果基本一致。由于辉钼矿与黄铜矿、白钨矿呈共生关系,并考虑到该矿区内黄铜矿的年龄〔(23.75±0.18) Ma〕(作者未发表数据),表明努日矽卡岩型铜钨钼矿床的成矿时代为23~24 Ma。结合前人研究资料可见,冈底斯南缘克鲁-冲木达斑岩-矽卡岩铜多金属成矿带从32 Ma至23 Ma发生了强烈的成矿作用。该成矿带的成矿时代明显有别于后碰撞期地壳伸展环境下形成的冈底斯斑岩铜矿带,显示出其为一套独立的成矿事件。该成矿事件可能主要受冈底斯南缘的晚碰撞走滑环境的控制。努日矿床成矿时代的确定及晚碰撞成矿事件的厘定,为今后研究和勘查该成矿带内同类型矿床提供了重要依据。     

湖南金船塘锡铋矿床辉钼矿Re-Os同位素测年及其地质意义

湖南东坡矿田位于南岭成矿带的西段,构造位置上处于扬子板块与华夏板块的对接地带,矿田内以千里山岩体为中心,发育一系列与燕山期花岗质岩浆作用有关的超大型、大型和中型钨锡钼铋多金属矿床。金船塘锡铋矿床是东坡矿田内一个以锡铋为主的大型矽卡岩型多金属矿床。本文对该矿床的矽卡岩型矿石中的辉钼矿进行了Re-Os同位素测年。结果显示,辉钼矿Re-Os同位素模式年龄范围为157.2±2.8Ma至162.4±2.4Ma,加权平均值为159.8±2.9Ma,对应的Re-Os等时线年龄为158.8±6.6Ma;这些年龄数据与柿竹园矿床辉钼矿的Re-Os等时线年龄(151.0±3.5Ma)在误差范围内基本一致,亦与区内千里山岩体锆石U-Pb年龄(152±2Ma)接近,指示金船塘Sn-Bi矿床与区内花岗岩具有密切的时间和成因关系。结合区域上已有的研究成果,包括金船塘矿床在内的东坡矿田的成岩成矿作用主要集中在149～161Ma,与南岭地区大规模的钨锡多金属成矿作用时限(150～160Ma)一致;另外,区域上的研究表明,幔源物质广泛参与了湘南钨锡矿集区晚中生代的成岩成矿作用,指示该区中-晚侏罗世爆发式的成岩成矿作用可能是区域地壳拉张-岩石圈伸展减薄背景下,强烈的壳幔相互作用的结果。     

辽西河坎子碱性侵入杂岩体及钼多金属矿床同位素年代学研究

对辽西河坎子地区与碱性杂岩体相关的钼多金属矿床进行了同位素年代学研究。所获黑云母正长花岗岩锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素加权平均年龄为(235.3±1.0) Ma,MSWD值为0.68;河坎子钼多金属矿床内辉钼矿的Re-Os同位素等时线年龄为(224.0±1.3) Ma,MSWD值为0.72。碱性杂岩体与相关的钼多金属矿床具有密切的空间关系,两者的形成时间亦比较接近,据此可推测,河坎子碱性杂岩体与相关的钼多金属矿床均为印支期构造-岩浆作用及流体活动的产物。印支期内频繁的岩浆-热液活动为该地区内钼、铜、金多金属元素的活化、迁移、富集提供了充足的热源条件。古大陆内部伸展构造环境中的碱性岩浆作用及流体活动为钼多金属矿床的形成提供了动力、物质和流体来源。     

Petrogenesis of early Silurian intrusions in the Sanchakou area of Eastern Tianshan,Northwest China,and tectonic implications: geochronological,geochemical, and Hf isotopic evidence

ABSTRACT

Palaeozoic intrusions in Eastern Tianshan are important for understanding the evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The Sanchakou intrusions situated in Eastern Tianshan (southern CAOB), are mainly quartz diorite and granodiorite. A comprehensive study of zircon U–Pb ages, zircon trace elements, whole-rock geochemistry, and Lu–Hf isotopes were carried out for the Sanchakou intrusive rocks. LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb dating yielded crystallization ages of 439.7 ± 2.5 Ma (MSWD = 0.63, n = 21) for the quartz diorite, and 430.9 ± 2.5 Ma (MSWD = 0.21, n = 21) and 425.5 ± 2.7 Ma (MSWD = 0.04; n = 20) for the granodiorites. These data, in combination with other Silurian ages reported for the intrusive suites from Eastern Tianshan, indicate an early Palaeozoic magmatic event in the orogen. In situ zircon Hf isotope data for the Sanchakou quartz diorite shows ε_Hf(t) values of +11.2 to +19.6, and the two granodioritic samples exhibit similar ε_Hf(t) values from +13.0 to +19.5. The Sanchakou plutons show metaluminous to weakly peraluminous, arc-type geochemical and low-K tholeiite affinities, and display trace element patterns characterized by enrichment in K, Ba, Sr, and Sm, and depletion in Nb, Ta, Pb, and Ti. The geochemical and isotopic signatures indicate that the Sanchakou dioritic and granodioritic magmas were sourced from a subducted oceanic slab, and subsequently underwent some interaction with peridotite in the mantle wedge. Combined with the regional geological history, we suggest the Sanchakou intrusions formed due to the northward subduction of the Palaeo-Tianshan Ocean beneath the Dananhu–Tousuquan arc during early Silurian time.     

New LA-ICPMS U–Pb ages of detrital zircons from the Highland Complex: insights into late Cryogenian to early Cambrian (ca. 665–535 Ma) linkage between Sri Lanka and India

ABSTRACT

Here we report new LA-ICPMS U–Pb zircon geochronology of ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metasedimentary rocks and associated crystallized melt patches, from the central Highland Complex (HC), Sri Lanka. The detrital zircon ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age spectra range between 2834 ± 12 and 722 ± 14 Ma, evidencing new and younger depositional ages of sedimentary protoliths than those known so far in the HC. The overgrowth domains of zircons in these UHT granulites yield weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age clusters from 665.5 ± 5.9 to 534 ± 10 Ma, identified as new metamorphic ages of the metasediments in the HC. The zircon ages of crystallized in situ melt patches associated with UHT granulites yield tight clusters of weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages from 558 ± 1.6 to 534 ± 2.4 Ma. Thus, using our results coupled with recently published geochronological data, we suggest a new geochronological framework for the evolutionary history of the metasedimentary package of the HC. The Neoarchean to Neoproterozoic ages of detrital zircons indicate that the metasedimentary package of the HC has derived from ancient multiple age provenances and deposited during the Neoproterozoic Era. Hence, previously reported upper intercept ages of ca. 2000–1800 Ma from metaigneous rocks should be considered as geochronological evidence for existence of a Palaeoproterozoic igneous basement which possibly served as a platform for the deposition of younger supracrustal rocks, rather than timing of magmatic intrusions into the already deposited ancient sediments, as has been conventionally interpreted. The intense reworking of entire Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks in the Gondwana Supercontinent assembly may have caused sediments of multiple ages and provenances to incorporate within supra-crustal sequences of the HC. Further, our data supports a convincing geochronological correlation between the HC of Sri Lanka and the Trivandrum Block of Southern India, disclosing the Gondwanian linkage between the HC of Sri Lanka and Southern Granulite Terrain of India.     

Refertilization of serpentinites in the Sulu UHP terrane,Eastern China: constraints from geochronology,mineral composition,geochemistry, and Re–Os isotopes

ABSTRACT

Serpentinites from Junan (JN), Rizhao (RZ), and Rongcheng (RC) in the Sulu ultra-high-pressure (UHP) terrane, China, were analysed for U–Pb zircon geochronology, mineral chemistry, whole-rock major and trace element chemistry (including rare-earth elements (REEs) and platinum-group elements (PGEs)), and Re–Os isotopes, in order to better constrain their petrogenesis and geodynamic process. The serpentinite zircons yield two age groups: 731 ± 10 to 780 ± 10 Ma for relic magmatic zircon cores, which may indicate early crystallization and emplacement of the peridotite in the Yangtze crust, and 209 ± 2 to 218 ± 3 Ma for metamorphic zircon, which coincides with Triassic UHP metamorphism. The spinels in the serpentinites exhibit significant Cr# variation (0.6–0.91) and have undergone multi-stage metamorphism. The serpentinites are characterized by enrichment in incompatible trace elements, low Ni and IPGE concentrations, and high Pd/Ir ratios, and the bulk-rock major elements plot in the ultramafic cumulate region. Their Re and Os concentrations are similar to those of typical orogenic peridotite, but they have high ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios (0.12433–0.14423). We believe that the serpentinite’s protolith consisted of cumulates from an asthenosphere-derived melt that intruded into the continental crust of the Yangtze craton in the Neoproterozoic. These cumulates were later subducted and metamorphosed during the subduction of the Yangtze craton in the Triassic. The serpentinites underwent melt–rock interactions and fluid enrichment, both prior to and during serpentinization.     

Mineralization,geochronology, and Pb isotope studies of the shoshonitic lava-hosted Nariniya Pb deposit,central Tibet: linking ore formation to post-collisional potassic magmatism

Abstract

A newly discovered, shoshonitic lava-hosted Pb deposit at Nariniya in central Tibet provides an excellent example to help improve our understanding of the linkage between post-collisional potassic magmatism and ore formation in Tibet. The Pb ores exist as veins or veinlets in NWW-striking fracture zones within the potassic lava (trachyte). The veins contain quartz, galena, pyrite, and sericite (muscovite) as well as minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite, calcite, and dolomite with sericitization, pyritization, and minor silicification. The ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar plateau age of the hydrothermal muscovite is 37.95 ± 0.30 Ma, which represents the Pb mineralization age. This obtained age is indistinguishable, within analytical error, from the zircon U–Pb age of 37.88 ± 0.22 Ma for potassic lava. Therefore, the ore formation can be genetically linked to potassic magmatism. Galena has similar Pb isotopic composition to magmatic feldspar from the host lava, suggesting the derivation of Pb from the magmatic system. Previous studies have suggested that S- and ore-forming fluids are of magmatic origin. Published data show that the Nariniya volcanic rocks are acidic, shoshonitic, akakitic, peraluminous, and enriched in Sr–Nd–Pb isotopes. Thus, they are geochemically different from other potassic volcanic rocks (no adakitic affinity) in the North Qiangtang terrane, but similar to the 46–38 Ma high-K calc-alkaline peraluminous adakitic rocks in this terrane and the late Eocene Cu-generating potassic porphyries from the Sanjiang region of eastern Tibet. As such, the Nariniya potassic magma likely originated from melting of subducted continental crust, with or without interaction with the overlying enriched mantle. Such post-collisional potassic rocks in Tibet are thought to be potential targets for prospecting of both Pb–Zn and porphyry Cu ores. Note that other ore styles (in addition to the Nariniya ore style) may exist in the potassic volcanic districts of Tibet.
