Zircon dating of North Bohemian granulites, Czech Republic: further evidence for the Lower Carboniferous high-pressure event in the Bohemian Massif

U-Pb zircon and rutile multigrain ages and ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb zircon evaporation ages are reported from high-pressure felsic and metapelitic granulites from northern Bohemia, Czech Republic. The granulites, in contrast to those from other occurrences in the Bohemian Massif, do not show evidence of successive HT/MPLP overprints. Multigrain size fractions of nearly spherical, multifaceted, metamorphic zircons from three samples are slightly discordant and yield a U-Pb Concordia intercept age of 348 ± 10 Ma, whereas single zircon evaporation of two samples resulted in ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb ages of 339 ± 1.5 and 339 ± 1.4 Ma, respectively. A rutile fraction from one sample has a U-Pb Concordia intercept age of 346 ± 14 Ma. All ages are identical, within error, and a mean age of 342 ± 5 Ma was adopted to reflect the peak of HP metamorphism. Because rutile has a lower closing temperature for the U-Pb isotopic system than zircon, the results and the P-T data imply rapid uplift and cooling after peak metamorphism. The above age is identical to ages for high-grade metamorphism reported from the southern Bohemian Massif and the Granulite Massif in Saxony. It can be speculated that all these granulites were part of the same lower crustal unit in early Carboniferous, being separated later due to crustal stacking and subsequent late Variscan orogenic collapse.     

碾子沟金红石矿床金红石自然颗粒粒度分析

用数学地质方法，通过电子计算机对３１５１９２个数据的处理，认为金红石自然颗粒较粗，＞０．１、０．２、０．３ｍｍ的分别占９８．８２％、８２．３６％、６４．５５％；据粒度概率分布特征，金红石自然颗粒分为７个总体，分别以０．３２０、０．４３２、０．５４４、０．６６１、０．７６７、０．９３５ｍｍ为界。其成因主要为变质作用及张力的衰减性及波动性。较粗的金红石自然颗粒可使选矿回收率大幅度提高。对矿床经济评价，开发及成因研究等有一定意义。     

中国大陆科学钻探主孔高钛与低钛榴辉岩地球化学特征对比及其对金红石成矿的指示意义

榴辉岩型金红石矿床是我国原生金红石矿床的最重要类型。本文以中国大陆科学钻探主孔0～2000m范围内揭露的榴辉岩为对象，通过对榴辉岩中TiO2与其它元素协变关系的全面分析，同时结合我国原生榴辉岩型金红石矿床TiO2的平均品位，将榴辉岩区分为高钛榴辉岩（TiO2〉2％）和低钛榴辉岩（TiO2〈2％），并据此系统对比了二类榴辉岩地球化学组成的差异。研究结果表明，高钛榴辉岩相对贫硅、贫钾、富铁，Al2O3／TiO2比值和全碱（K2O＋Na2O）含量总体偏低，Cs、Rb、Ba等大离子亲石元素和Zr、Hf等高场强元素不同程度亏损，而放射性元素Th、U则相对富集，并总体具有较低的轻重稀土比值。榴辉岩型金红石矿床的形成主要受原岩因素制约，原岩的源区组成、产出环境、起源深度、部分熔融程度和随后的结晶分异过程对Ti的初始富集均具重要影响，富钛基性原岩是榴辉岩型金红石矿床形成的物质基础，高压区域变质作用是这类矿床形成的必要条件。     

柴北缘鱼卡榴辉岩型金红石矿床金红石矿物学、元素地球化学及成因

鱼卡金红石矿床是青海省境内发现的第一个超大型榴辉岩型金红石矿床。笔者在总结前人基础资料及详细野外地质矿产调查的基础上,通过榴辉岩岩石学及金红石矿物学研究,利用LA-ICP-MS法对该矿床中的金红石进行原位微量元素分析等。结果表明:金红石赋存状态主要有五种,即包裹结构、粒间结构、串珠状结构、退变残余结构、丝缕状出溶结构,其中以粒间和串珠状赋存状态产出时,含矿性最好。同时,变质阶段的差异、流体活动的强弱将影响金红石的赋存状态。流体活动越弱时,野外表现为榴辉岩的新鲜程度越高、且少或不发育长英质脉体、矿物越自形,则越有利于形成粒间和串珠状金红石富矿;折返过程中流体或熔体作用过强、野外表现为广泛发育长英质脉体、榴辉岩中矿物呈他形产出时,则金红石已经退变为钛铁矿和榍石。总结前人的地球化学和年龄数据表明:富集地幔源区、演化程度高、陆壳混染程度低的富钛基性原岩是鱼卡榴辉岩型金红石矿床主要物质来源,高压(超高压)变质作用促进了钛的进一步富集成矿,成矿年代集中在440～430Ma。金红石锆温度计显示的成矿温度主要在570～671℃之间,金红石中高场强元素Ti、Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf等富集,表明其可能形成于俯冲带环境。这些成因认识等将为柴北缘成矿带榴辉岩型金红石矿床的进一步找矿工作部署、勘查评价及突破提供了重要的理论支撑与借鉴。     

Derivation of detrital rutile in the Yaoundé region from the Neoproterozoic Pan-African belt in southern Cameroon (Central Africa)

Rutile, as an important component in alluvial or eluvial heavy mineral deposits, is known in southern Cameroon. These deposits are underlain by the Neoproterozoic low- to high-grade Yaoundé Group. Geochemical, thermometric, fluid inclusion and Pb isotopic studies of the rutile from alluvial and eluvial concentrates and from medium-grade micaschist from the nearby Yaoundé region permit the following conclusions: (1) alluvial and eluvial rutile of the Yaoundé region are derived from the degradation of metapelites, metamafic rocks and pegmatites of the nearby Yaoundé Group; (2) rutile in the Yaoundé Group formed during the Pan-African metamorphism, or was inherited as detrital rutile from a 900 Ma source. The study also shows that the rutile can be used to trace the history of the Pan-African belt north of the Congo craton.     

金红石中锆含量温度计及其微量元素地球化学特征

Zack et al.(2004a)、Watson et al.(2006)以及Tomkins et al.(2007)(在2GPa条件下)的金红石中锆含量温度计计算结果显示,徐淮地区中生代侵入杂岩所含榴辉岩类包体所经历的榴辉岩相变质的温度范围分别为776～1099℃(平均898℃)、663～923℃(平均750℃)和714～981℃(平均804℃),这些温度结果可能并非榴辉岩相峰期变质温度;其角闪岩相退变质作用过程中保存的温度范围分别为555～777℃(平均697℃)、541～663℃(平均6170C)和588～714℃(平均667℃),这些结果不能代表角闪岩相退变质再平衡后的温度,而只能代表角闪岩相退变质作用过程中某-阶段的温度.微量元素地球化学特征研究表明,榴辉岩类包体所含金红石中的某些微量元素(如Nb、Ta、Cr、Fe、V等)含量与其原岩有继承和对应关系,其原岩主要为镁铁质岩石;榴辉岩类包体与其寄主岩石中部分高价态/高场强元素(HFSE)呈相互消长的关系.榴辉岩的形成与扬子地块和华北地块之间的俯冲,碰撞作用有关.     

山西代县金红石矿床中锆石的内部特征和矿物包裹体研究及其地质意义

对山西代县洪塘矿区富含红色和黑色两种金红石的直闪岩进行岩相观察和矿物成分分析,并就其中锆石在阴极发光下的外部形态、内部结构及矿物包裹体进行研究.所分选出的锆石按其颗粒上的相对位置、形态、阴极发光图像、SHRIMP年龄值以及内部矿物包裹体划分为复杂锆石和单成因锆石,其中复杂锆石由核部、幔部和边部锆石三类锆石组成.第1类锆石无环带,部分边缘可见溶蚀痕迹,为继承锆石.内部包裹富锾矿物组合顽火辉石+金云母,与寄主岩石的组合明显不同,反映其可能是寄主岩石形成之前保留于锆石中的原岩矿物并源于地幔.第Ⅱ类锆石为半自形-自形晶,环带较宽且清晰,推测为高级变质锆石.其内矿物包裹体主要为直闪石,其次为钙铁辉石(?),反映其形成于角闪岩相,与寄主岩石的矿物组合可能一致.第Ⅲ类锆石主要位于增生边,阴极发光亮度高,推测为流体改造的变质锆石.第Ⅳ类单成因锆石多呈自形,阴极发光下较暗,生长环带规则且较窄.矿物包裹体有钠长石+石英+白云母,对应中压绿片岩相,其形成温度和压力低于寄主岩石,它与第Ⅲ类锆石可能是在同一期后期事件中形成.结合岩相学研究结果,认为该区金红石矿床之原岩可能是岩浆岩,后期经历了至少两期构造热事件,早期热事件可能导致了锆石内U-Th-Pb体系的重置.以上研究结果表明经历复杂变质作用的变质岩中锆石内部矿物包裹体的研究分析还是探讨寄主岩石成因及所经历地质事件的有效手段.     

Nb/Ta fractionation observed in eclogites from the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Project

This paper reports detailed analyses of Nb and Ta concentrations of 19 eclogite samples and their principal mineral constituents from the main drill hole of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Project (CCSD) and nearby outcrops. We observe highly fractionated and overall suprachondritic Nb/Ta values in minerals, e.g., rutile (4.8–87), titanite (12–62) and amphibole (2.0–67). Amphiboles in amphibolites (retrograded from eclogite) can be classified into two groups: a low Nb/Ta group that bears higher Al contents and is thus of higher pressure origin, and a high Nb/Ta, lower pressure group. The former group was likely formed during subduction; the latter may have formed during exhumation in the presence of rutile and titanite. The significant Nb/Ta fractionation in rutile and other minerals may reflect early dehydration of the subducted slab at shallow depths before the formation of rutile, which occurs at depths ≥50 km. The dehydration, with amphiboles existing as the main Nb–Ta-bearing phase, would lead to Nb/Ta fractionation, i.e., forming subchondritic Nb/Ta ratios in the released fluids and, complementarily, suprachondritic Nb/Ta ratios in the residual phases. While a large proportion of the fluids may escape from the slab to the mantle wedge, considerable amounts of the fluids can be retained in hydrous minerals within the descending slab, thus forming hydrated cold eclogites with subchondritic Nb/Ta characteristics. As subduction continues to depths over 50 km, rutile appears and consequently controls the Nb–Ta budget. In the presence of rutile, melting of the hydrated cold eclogites with very low Nb/Ta ratios would form magmas with negative Nb, Ta anomalies and subchondritic Nb/Ta. Further dehydration of the continuously descending slab results in even more fractionated Nb/Ta ratios in subsequently released fluids and residues, providing a feasible explanation for the large Nb/Ta variation observed in the modern arc magmas and residual eclogites.     

榴辉岩韧性剪切变形中的流体作用及地球化学效应

韧性剪切带是在较高温条件下机械与化学作用高度耦合的系统。韧性剪切带普遍含有一种或多种流体,流体是韧性剪切变形高度局域化和剪切变形组构形成的主要影响因素。在强应变岩石中,可利用变形矿物的元素地球化学的变化特征来反演参与变形的流体的地球化学性质。苏鲁-大别超高压变质带中,多数榴辉岩经历了强烈的韧性剪切应变和流体作用,形成高度局域化、尺度不等的韧性剪切变形带,为研究在高压-超高压条件下,参与流体的性质,应变和流体相互作用提供了重要机会。样品DH-2G是一强烈剪切榴辉岩,由石榴石、绿辉石、金红石,及少量的多硅白云母、黝帘石、角闪石、斜长石、石英、锆石和磷灰石组成。在不同应变域,矿物的粒度变化明显。在类变斑晶域,石榴石粒度比剪切条带中的小2~4倍。在以下讨论中,与细粒石榴石(石榴石-I)共生的绿辉石称为绿辉石-I,与粗粒石榴石(石榴石-II)共生的绿辉石称为绿辉石-II。电子探针和原位LA-ICP-MS测试结果表明:(1)除Ni外,两类石榴石没有显著区别;(2)两类绿辉石在主量元素上也没有明显的差异,但微量元素特征,尤其是稀土元素上,存在明显的变化。与绿辉石-I相比,绿辉石-II具有以下特征:(1)轻稀土明显降低,达25~40倍左右;(2)重稀土明显富集,升高5~10倍;(3)Ni、Zn、Co、Sc、Ba、Zr、Y、Rb、Hf和HREE明显升高,而 V、Sr、U、Th、Pb和LREE明显降低;和(4)微弱的正Eu异常, Eu/Eu^*=1.04~1.45,绿辉石-I基本上没有Eu异常。并且,剪切带域金红石的Nb/Ta比值从核部(<19.0)到边部(>20.0)显著增加。岩相学、元素和温压估计研究表明:在剪切过程中不存在外来流体,流体是由无水矿物(绿辉石、石榴石、金红石等)在超高压榴辉岩折返减压过程中通过压力降低出溶结构羟基或分子水,释放出流体,流体富含V、Sr、U、Th、Pb、Zr、Nb和LREE等微量元素。这些流体显著影响深俯冲地壳的流变学性质,是迁移活动元素(LILE和LREE)及保守元素(HFSE等)的重要载体,对超高压岩片的快速折返发挥关键作用。     

CCSD主孔揭示的东海超高压榴辉岩中的金红石：微量元素地球化学及其成矿意义

金红石是榴辉岩中的主要含钛副矿物。中国大陆科学钻探工程主孔100-2000m岩心样品中,金红石榴辉岩、多硅白云母榴辉岩和蓝晶石榴辉岩中都程度不等地含有金红石。金红石既可以与其它矿物一起包裹在主要变质矿物中,也可以呈粒间矿物,但在榴辉岩经受角闪岩相退变质作用过程中,金红石亦会退变为榍石。本文利用电子探针除了分析了金红石的主要元素外,还仔细测量了Nb、Cr、Zr含量。结果显示,Nb平均含量为147ppm,最高含量为670ppm,Cr的平均含量为614ppm,最高含量为3630ppm,低Nb特征(<1000ppm)显示榴辉岩原岩为镁铁质岩石;此外,三类榴辉岩也具有不同的金红石Nb、Cr地球化学特征,即金红石榴辉岩中的金红石表现为低Cr(<500ppm)、Nb变化大(0-670ppm)的特征,多硅白云母榴辉岩中的金红石以中等Cr含量(500-1200ppm)、Nb变化较大(0-480ppm)为特征,而蓝晶石榴辉岩中的金红石显著富Cr(2000-3630ppm),而Nb则非常贫乏(<140ppm)。在总共289个金红石Zr含量数据中,大部分Zr含量分布在150-240ppm之间,均值约为200ppm;利用Zacketal.(2004)提出的金红石温度计,计算得到金红石的形成温度介于690℃和7870℃之间。研究结果表明,金红石的微量元素分析是研究榴辉岩原岩特征及其钛成矿作用的实用方法之一。
