Determination of the early Paleozoic accretionary complex in Southwestern Yunnan,China: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Proto-Tethys Ocean

Accretionary complex study provides important knowledge on the subduction and the geodynamic processes of the oceanic plate, which represents the ancient ocean basin extinction location. Nevertheless, there exist many disputes on the age, material source, and tectonic attribute of the Lancang Group, located in Southwest Yunnan, China. In this paper, the LA-ICP-MS detrital zircon U–Pb chronology of nine metamorphic rocks in the Lancang Group was carried out. The U–Pb ages of the three detrital zircons mainly range from 590–550 Ma, 980–910 Ma, and 1150–1490 Ma, with the youngest detrital zircons having a peak age of about 560 Ma. The U–Pb ages of the six detrital zircons mainly range from 440–460 Ma and 980–910 Ma, and the youngest detrital zircon has a peak age of about 445 Ma. In the Lancang Group, metamorphic acidic volcanic rocks, basic volcanic rocks, intermediate-acid intrusive rocks, and high-pressure metamorphic rocks are exposed in the form of tectonic lens in schist, rendering typical melange structural characteristics of “block + matrix”. Considering regional deformation and chronology, material composition characteristics, and the previous data, this study thinks the Lancang Group may be an early Paleozoic tectonic accretionary complex formed by the eastward subduction of the Changning-Menglian Proto-Tethys Ocean, which provides an important constraint for the Tethys evolution.©2023 China Geology Editorial Office.     

以地质事件性质讨论华北克拉通古元古界典型地层时代——以五台地区滹沱群为例

从滹沱群底部四集庄组不同的分布区选择了1件正长花岗斑岩、1件似斑状二长花岗岩砾石及1件侵入于蒋村四集庄组的正长花岗斑岩,进行了锆石U-Pb-Hf同位素分析。获得正长花岗斑岩和似斑状二长花岗岩砾石的锆石²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb加权平均年龄分别为2 507±14 Ma和2 519±35 Ma,推断花岗岩砾石的物源可能为五台新太古代晚期峨口花岗岩和兰芝山花岗岩;侵入于四集庄组的正长花岗斑岩锆石²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb年龄为2 157±15 Ma。结合四集庄组、五台地区高凡群火山岩年龄结果和华北克拉通2.2~2.0 Ga地质事件的性质,认为滹沱群底界可能为2.2~2.18 Ga,顶界时代约为2.0 Ga,其沉积对应一期强烈的陆内裂谷伸展过程。新太古代花岗岩砾石和古元古代花岗岩锆石Hf同位素结果指示,五台地区新太古代早期出现明显的地壳生长,新太古代晚期也存在地壳增长。     

武当地块耀岭河群中两类不同性质的酸性火山岩研究

耀岭河群火山岩中可划分出两类不同性质的酸性火山岩:酸性岩A主要属碱流岩-白碱流岩类,酸性岩B主要属流纹英安岩/英安岩类。总体上看二者主量元素组成差异不大:SiO2含量为65.00%～79.85%,(Na2O+K2O)为5.26%～9.68%。强烈富集Th、Nb、Ta、La、Ce、Nd、Zr、Sm和Hf等微量元素,强烈亏损Ba、K、Sr、P、Ti等元素,稀土元素特征表现为∑REE很高(339.94～1152.85μg/g),具有强烈的铕负异常(δEu=0.18～0.32),与典型的大陆裂谷流纹岩的稀土曲线一致。酸性火山岩B显示K、Rb、Ba、Th和LREE的正异常和Sr、P、Ti和Nb的负异常,Eu具弱负异常(δEu=0.64～0.88),表现出与酸性火山岩A迥然不同的微量元素及稀土元素特征,而与耀岭河群基性火山岩相似,显示其成因可能与之有相同源区。     

滇西南涧地区无量山岩群变质英安岩锆石U-Pb年龄及其构造意义

滇西南涧—云县一带广泛出露的无量山岩群是一套与三江特提斯造山带密切相关的中低变质沉积岩夹火山岩系,其形成时代、沉积充填序列及大地构造属性一直存在争议。出露于南涧县公郎乡一带的无量山岩群发育有厚数厘米的变质英安岩夹层。对变质英安岩进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年,分别获得428.7±8.7Ma的岩浆结晶年龄和338～387Ma、250.5±8.1Ma、146.0±6.0Ma的变质年龄。认为无量山岩群原始沉积岩形成于志留纪,在古特提斯洋俯冲过程中,经历古生代造弧而发生区域变质作用,在白垩纪受热事件影响而发生热变质作用;同时还获得2034±22Ma、1140±16Ma、731±15Ma及469～522Ma的单颗粒锆石年龄,这些年代峰值与整个扬子陆块西缘获得的前寒武纪、古生代构造热事件年龄及分布特征基本可以对比;记录了Columbia、Rodinia和Gondwana超大陆的形成与裂解过程。     

黑龙江北部燎原地区燎原群的建立及其意义

根据"中国地层指南"(2001)关于岩石地层单位的划分,将出露在伊勒呼里山地区的泥鳅河组(S3-D2n)、根里河组(D2-2g),小河里河组(D3x、花达气组(C1h)和查尔格拉河组(C1ch)的一套海相-陆相连续沉积的碎屑岩并组为群,称燎原群(S—C1L).以黑河市查尔格拉河流域为典型地区,并划分燎原群下亚群(S3—C1La)(包括泥鳅河组和根里河组).燎原群上亚群(S3—C1Lb)(包括小河里河组、花达气组和查尔格拉河组).在黑龙江省岩石地层(清理)中,通过横向对比和纵向层序分析等工作认为,燎原群下亚群以海相碎屑沉积岩为主,而燎原群上亚群则以陆相碎屑沉积岩为主,两者之间为整合接触关系,燎原群底以下伏卧都河组上部含砾砂岩消失为界,而顶部不全,时代为晚志留世晚期至早石炭世.     

庐山筲箕洼组与星子岩群年代地层关系及SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄的制约

本文报道在庐山筲箕洼组中获得细碧岩SHIRMP锆石U-Pb年龄(840±6) Ma,MSWD=1.3,流纹岩锆石U-Pb年龄(833±4) Ma,MSWD=1.4,和流纹岩锆石U-Pb年龄(831±3) Ma,对应的MSWD=1.47.而在星子群流纹岩中获得206pb/238U年龄为(825±5)Ma,对应的MSWD=0.46.笔者依据上述精确锆石年龄,首次提出将筲箕洼组明确定位于星子岩群之下.本文结合“江南造山带”锆石U-Pb年龄:东部变质基底的双桥山群,西部变质基底梵净山群和似盖层下江群以及中部变质基底冷家溪群和似盖层板溪群的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄,将筲箕洼组定位于“武陵运动”之下的新元古代地层.依据星子岩群年龄数据,首次将星子岩群明确定位于筲箕洼组之上与双桥山群为同期的深变质岩.该年龄对限定区域地层对比和构造演化都有着重要意义.上述锆石U-Pb年龄标示了赣西北地区同样存在820 Ma界面上下的新元古代地层,为江南古陆变质地层的对比提供了新的年代学数据.     

SHRIMP U Pb Age and Its Significance of Zircons in Welded Tuff of Wangchang Formation in Dongchuan Area,Yunnan Province,SW China

本文报道了云南东川地区望厂组中熔结凝灰岩锆石的SHRIMP U Pb年龄.其中自形结构、环带清晰锆石的不一致曲线与谐和线上交点的207Pb/206Pb年龄分别为2317±13 Ma(n=13,MSWD=33),13个点的加权平均年龄为2299±14 Ma(n=13,MSWD=59),表明望厂组地层的沉积时代为古元古代早—中期.东川地区下四组地层与滇中昆阳群(黄草岭组—美党组)和四川会理群(淌塘组—天宝山组)的沉积时代相差近1.0Ga.为了区别于昆阳群和会理群,建议对本区下四组地层(洒海沟组、望厂组、菜园湾组、平顶山组)独立建群,即汤丹群.汤丹群是目前为止康滇地区已发现的最古老的地层建造之一,经历过古元古代中期的挤压过程(东川运动)和古元古代末期的拉张过程,可能是相对于扬子古陆核独立存在、并构成早—中元古宙Columbia超级大陆的一个小的古老陆块.

K-Ar dating,X-Ray diffractometry,optical and scanning electron microscopy of glauconies from the early Cretaceous Kurnub Group of Jordan

The glaucony of the early Cretaceous Kurnub Group in Jordan has been isotopically dated using the K–Ar method. The glaucony occurs in an arenaceous dolomite unit, referred to here to as glaucony marker unit (GMU), located in the upper part of the Kurnub Group, that persists throughout Jordan. The glaucoliths of the heavy fraction are dark green in colour, ovoidal or mammilated, with a mainly cracked smooth surface, whereas the light fraction glaucoliths are light green in colour, irregular in shape and have a rough or porous surface. Both fractions exhibit boxwork and rosette microstructure, whereas lamellar microstructure is restricted to the heavy glaucoliths. X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis placed the glauconies of the GMU of the Kurnub Group in Odin and Matter's evolved to highly evolved class corresponding to glauconitic mica and suggested that they should be well-closed chronometers. On the other hand, petrographic investigation proved these glauconies to be unaltered, whereas the other altered ones are discarded from the age determination. The unweathered, highly evolved, heavy glauconies that are neither tectonized nor deeply buried best fulfil recommendations regarding appropriate samples for K–Ar dating. The apparent age constrained, within the analytical uncertainty limits, from the most evolved glaucony is 96·1±1·1 Ma and suggests that the GMU is of Albian age. The other less evolved glauconies, which are still within the evolved to highly evolved class of Odin and Matter, yield a mean apparent age of 93·6±1·0 Ma, which is probably slightly younger than the true depositional age by 2–3 Ma due to genetic and historical uncertainties, as indicated by the petrographic and sedimentological data. Thus the upper part of the Kurnub Group, where the GMU is located, is of Albian age. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
