Evolution of subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath eastern China: Re–Os isotopic evidence from mantle xenoliths in Paleozoic kimberlites and Mesozoic basalts

The ages of subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath the North China and South China cratons are less well-constrained than the overlying crust. We report Re–Os isotope systematics of mantle xenoliths entrained in Paleozoic kimberlites and Mesozoic basalts from eastern China. Peridotite xenoliths from the Fuxian and Mengyin Paleozoic diamondiferous kimberlites in the North China Craton give Archean Re depletion ages of 2.6–3.2 Ga and melt depletion ages of 2.9–3.4 Ga. No obvious differences in Re and Os abundances, Os isotopic ratios and model ages are observed between spinel-facies and garnet-facies peridotites from both kimberlite localities. The Re–Os isotopic data, together with the PGE concentrations, demonstrate that beneath the Archean continental crust of the eastern North China Craton, Archean lithospheric mantle of spinel- to diamond-facies existed without apparent compositional stratification during the Paleozoic. The Mesozoic and Cenozoic basalt-borne peridotite and pyroxenite xenoliths, on the other hand, show geochemical features indicating metasomatic enrichment, along with a large range of the Re–Os isotopic model ages from Proterozoic to Phanerozoic. These features indicate that lithospheric transformation or refertilization through melt-peridotite interaction could be the primary mechanism for compositional changes during the Phanerozoic, rather than delamination or thermal-mechanical erosion, despite the potential of these latter processes to play an important role for the loss of garnet-facies mantle. A fresh garnet lherzolite xenolith from the Yangtze Block has a Re depletion age of ∼1.04 Ga, much younger than overlying Archean crustal rocks but the same Re depletion ages as spinel lherzolite xenoliths from adjacent Mesozoic basalts, indicating Neoproterozoic resetting of the Re–Os system in the South China Craton.

藏南冈底斯岩基日多地区花岗岩体形成时代和地球化学特征

冈底斯岩基广泛发育三叠纪-中新世的岩浆岩,是研究与新特提斯洋北向俯冲和印度-欧亚大陆碰撞相关的构造岩浆作用特征的天然实验室。日多地区花岗岩体位于藏南墨竹工卡县东侧日多乡附近,其主体为花岗岩,被花岗闪长玢岩脉侵入。锆石U-Pb地质年代学表明:主体花岗岩形成于62.7±0.5Ma,侵入其中的花岗闪长玢岩脉形成于59.5±1.5Ma,并捕获了大量的侏罗纪岩浆岩锆石(155.4±1.8Ma)。日多地区花岗岩体的全岩地球化学特征为:(1)高Si O_2、Na_2O、Al_2O_3,低Fe O~T、MgO、Ti O_2;(2)富集轻稀土(LREE),亏损重稀土(HREE)及高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti、P元素;(3)具有Eu负异常,总体显示高钾钙碱性、过铝质花岗岩和岛弧型岩浆岩特征。锆石Hf同位素特征暗示其岩浆源区为基性下地壳物质。花岗闪长玢岩脉裹挟大量侏罗纪岩浆型锆石,表明冈底斯岩基拉萨以东地区可能经历了较广泛的晚侏罗世岩浆作用。     

辽宁后仙峪硼矿区混合岩的LA-MC-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄：对硼矿成矿演化的制约

辽东硼矿赋存于辽吉裂谷带的古元古代火山—沉积岩系之中,属沉积—变质型硼矿床,主矿区包括有后仙峪硼镁矿、翁泉沟硼铁矿和砖庙—杨木杆硼镁矿,一直以来是我国硼矿石的主产地。本次研究在后仙峪硼矿区采集了矿区外围的条痕状混合花岗岩(DSQ-08)和矿体上盘侵位于电英岩之中的含电气石混合花岗岩(HXY-19),挑选出其中的锆石单矿物进行LA-MC-ICP-MS测年。条痕状混合花岗岩中锆石的核部具有岩浆振荡环带,Th/U值为0.64~0.96,~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄为2240±4Ma;含电气石混合花岗岩中锆石的内核和边部均具有极为清晰的岩浆振荡环带,Th/U值分别为0.12~1.05和0.41~1.08,~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄分别记录了2157±6Ma和1932±26Ma两次锆石生长事件。含电气石的混合花岗岩的锆石边部形成于混合岩化过程之中,记录了辽河群下部岩石在1.9Ga左右发生的部分熔融作用事件,具有重要的地质意义。矿区外围的条痕状混合花岗岩和矿体周缘含电气石混合花岗岩的核部岩浆年龄较为接近,说明两种岩石可能均由古元古代的火山—沉积岩,在1.9Ga左右经部分熔融作用形成。因此,结合前人在后仙峪硼矿区内进行的硼同位素地球化学和岩相学方面的研究成果,我们认为后仙峪硼矿区混合花岗岩的锆石核部U-Pb年龄可基本确定辽吉裂谷早期的超基性火山岩和酸性火山岩的喷发、海相蒸发沉积事件均发生于2240~2157Ma左右,该时期的蒸发沉积作用初步形成硼酸盐矿;后期强烈的部分熔融和混合岩化作用发生在1932±26Ma,在超基性火山岩保护下,硼矿发生变质和小规模的迁移,形成了硼镁矿、硼镁铁矿及矿体周缘的电英岩和含电气石混合花岗岩。     

冀北滦平—辽西凌源地区张家口组火山岩顶、底的单颗粒锆石U-Pb测年及意义

辽西凌源附近地区张家口组(J₃z)火山岩及以前的中生代地层以北东东向构造为主,而义县组(K₁y)沉积-火山岩以北北东向构造为主,张家口组与义县组之间为角度不整合接触.新的LAICPMS的单颗粒锆石UPb的测年结果表明,辽西凌源地区张家口组的底界年龄为132Ma,顶界年龄为129.5~130Ma; 冀北滦平地区张家口组的底界年龄为136Ma,顶界年龄为135Ma.经综合分析,得出以下的初步结论: (1)冀北滦平与辽西凌源地区的张家口组是可比的; 同时,说明了冀北滦平地区到辽西凌源地区的张家口组火山岩有明显的随时间迁移的特点.(2)凌源地区张家口组的顶界与义县组的底界有约5~6Ma的时间间隔,从年代学上证明了凌源附近地区张家口组与义县组之间为角度不整合接触的可靠性.暗示了该5~6Ma的间隔期是冀北—辽西附近地区中生代构造格架转换的主要时期,该时期也正是我国东北地区中生代岩浆作用的鼎盛时期; 暗示了该时期岩浆作用的动力学背景应与构造格架的转换有直接的联系; 同时在冀北—辽西地区,该间隔期之后发生了热河动物群的大爆发,说明该时期也是一个重要的生物界限.(3)从年代学方面厘定了冀北滦平的大北沟组在时代上应相当于张家口组的上部层位,而不是广义义县组的底部层位.      

黄沙坪矿区花岗岩岩石地球化学、U-Pb年代学及Hf同位素制约

湘南坪宝地区地处南岭中段,黄沙坪铅锌多金属矿床位于坪宝成矿带南部,304岩体是未来深部找矿的远景地区,岩石地球化学特征显示其具有A型花岗岩的特点,与区域上的千里山岩体相似。根据微量元素判别图解进一步划分为A1型,反映为非造山板内拉张背景;岩石稀土配分型式具有特征的四分组效应(tetrad effect),这是岩浆高度演化晚期熔体与流体相互作用的结果。采用LA-ICPMS方法对花斑岩中锆石进行了微区U-Pb同位素及Hf同位素测试,结果显示成岩年龄为179.9±1.3Ma(MSWD=1.9),属于燕山早期第一阶段岩浆侵入产物,成岩时代早于301岩体。Hf同位素显示地壳模式年龄为2220～2459Ma,平均为2353Ma,反映源区物质为新太古代至古元古代地壳物质。     

The pegmatites of the Nova Era–Itabira–Ferros pegmatite district and the emerald mineralisation of Capoeirana and Belmont (Minas Gerais, Brazil): geochemistry and Rb–Sr dating

The chemical composition and Rb–Sr ages of mica, feldspar, and whole rock samples from the emerald mineralisation of Capoeirana and Belmont, from emerald-barren pegmatites and of the Borrachudos granitic gneiss, Monlevade banded and granitic gneisses from the area of Nova Era–Itabira–Ferros (Minas Gerais, Brazil) as well as from the Guanhães gneiss (Minas Gerais, Brazil) have been determined. The Borrachudos granitic and Monlevade banded gneiss with connected pegmatitic schlieren and pegmatite veins, as well as the Guanhães gneiss, got their actual textures and mineralogical composition at about 1.9 Ga in the context of the Transamazonic tectonothermal event.The Monlevade banded gneiss belongs to a volcano-metasedimentary greenstone belt sequence, which is the typical country rock of the emerald occurrences. The main emerald-forming event at Belmont and Capoeirana was a metasomatic reaction of Be-rich anatectic pegmatites with Cr-rich ultrabasic rocks during the Transamazonic event. At Capoeirana, K–feldspar-bearing Be-rich pegmatites were transformed during the emerald-forming process into plagioclase–quartz rocks. Rb–Sr ages on biotite of about 480 Ma from the emerald mineralisation result from the rejuvenation of Transamazonic biotite by the Brasiliano event.The widespread macroscopically unmetamorphosed pegmatites of the study area formed in the Brasiliano event at 477±14 Ma. These pegmatites resulted to be emerald-barren although the differentiation degree, as given by diagrams such as Cs vs. K/Rb for muscovite and K–feldspar, starts from ceramic and ends with Be pegmatites. Some pegmatites display a marked internal differentiation.

Abstract

Foram determinadas as composições químicas e as idades Rb–Sr de mica branca, feldspato potássico e de rochas totais das mineralizações de esmeraldas de Capoeirana e Belmont, de pegmatitos sem esmeraldas e dos gnaisses Borrachudos, Monlevade e Guanhães da região de Nova Era–Itabira–Ferros (Minas Gerais, Brazil). Os gnaisses graníticos Borrachudos, os gnaisses bandados Monlevade, seus respectivos pegmatitos e veios/schlieren pegmatóides, e os gnaisses Guanhães, adquiriram suas texturas e composições mineralógicas atuais há cerca de 1.9 Ga no contexto do evento Transamazônico.As rochas regionais encaixantes típicas das ocorrências de esmeraldas são os gnaisses Monlevade que pertencem a uma sequência metavulcano-sedimentar de tipo greenstone belt. O evento principal de formação de esmeraldas em Belmont e Capoeirana foi uma reação metassomática dos pegmatitos anatéticos ricos em Be com rochas ultrabásicas ricas em Cr durante o evento Transamazônico em torno de 1.9 Ga. Em Capoeirana nesse contexto os pegmatitos com feldspato potássico ricos em Be foram transformados em rochas de plagioclasio–quartzo. As idades Rb–Sr de cerca de 480 Ma de minerais das mineralizações de esmeralda resultaram da reequilibração de biotitas e feldspatos Transamazônicos durante o evento Brasiliano.Os pegmatitos não-metamórficos e sem esmeralda da região estudada foram formados no evento Brasiliano há 477±14 Ma. O grau de diferenciação dos pegmatitos, estudado em diagramas indicadores específicos como por exemplo Cs vs. K/Rb de micas brancas e feldspatos potássicos, varia desde pegmatitos cerámicos até muscovita-pegmatitos, à pegmatitos de metais raros e até berilíferos. Alguns dos pegmatitos apresentam marcante diferenciação interna.

U-Pb Age and Hf Isotope Study of Detrital Zircons from the Wanzi Supracrustals： Constraints on the Tectonic Setting and Evolution of the Fuping Complex, Trans-North China Orogen

Located in the middle segment of the Trans-North China Orogen, the Fuping Complex is considered as a critical area in understanding the evolution history of the North China Craton （NCC）. The complex is composed of various high-grade and multiply deformed rocks, including gray gneiss, basic granulite, amphibolite, fine-grained gneiss and marble, metamorphosed to upper amphibolite or granulite facies. It can be divided into four rock units： the Fuping TTG gneisses, Longquanguan augen gneisses, Wanzi supracrustals, and Nanying granitic gneisses. U-Pb age and Hf isotope compositions of about 200 detrital zircons from the Wanzi supracrustals of the Fuping Complex have been analyzed. The data on metamorphic zircon rims give ages of 1.82-1.84 Ga, corresponding to the final amalgamation event of the NCC, whereas the data for igneous zircon cores yield two age populations at -2.10 and -2.51 Ga, with some inherited ages scattering between 2.5 and 2.9 Ga. These results suggest that the Wanzi supracrustals were derived from the Fuping TTG gneisses （-2.5 Ga） and the Nanying granitic gneisses （2.0-2.1 Ga） and deposited between 2.10 and 1.84 Ga. All zircons with -2.51 Ga age have positive initial εHf values from ＋1.4 to ＋10.9, suggesting an important crustal growth event at -2.5 Ga through the addition of juvenile materials from the mantle. The Hf isotope data for the detrital zircons further imply that the 2.8 Ga rocks are important components in the lower crust, which is consistent with a suggestion from Nd isotope data for the Eastern Block. The zircons of 2.10 Ga population have initial εHf values of-4.9 to ＋6.1, interpreted as mixing of crustal re-melt with minor juvenile material contribution at 2.1 Ga. These results are distinct from that for the Western Block, supporting that the Fuping Complex was emplaced in a tectonic active environment at the western margin of the Eastern Block.
