新元古代宝兴杂岩的岩石成因及其对扬子西缘构造环境的制约

位于扬子克拉通西缘的新元古代宝兴杂岩主要由中低级变质的辉长质片麻岩、闪长质片麻岩、英云闪长质到花岗闪长质片麻岩和块状二长花岗岩组成。岩石地球化学和Sm-Nd同位素特征表明,辉长质片麻岩和闪长质片麻岩为同源岩浆演化序列,原始岩浆起源于亏损地幔尖晶石橄榄岩的部分熔融,在上升和侵位过程中受到了地壳岩石强烈混染。英云闪长质和花岗闪长质岩浆形成于下地壳玄武质岩石部分熔融,而二长花岗质岩浆形成于杂砂岩的部分熔融。综合分析宝兴杂岩的岩石组合、微量元素和同位素特征,该杂岩体最有可能形成于新元古代活动大陆边缘火山弧构造背景,并可能经历了碰撞过程。     

大别核部杂岩中斜长角闪岩的地球化学特征及其地质意义

大别核部杂岩单元中斜长角闪岩的地球化学特征对于认识大别核部杂岩单元的特征及归属有着十分重要的意义。本文对大别核部杂岩单元中斜长角闪岩的岩石地球化学特征及Sm-Nd 同位素特征进行了较系统研究。斜长角闪岩的 Nd亏损地幔模式年龄(t_(DM))有3个不连续年龄段,它们分别为2.50～2.92Ga(平均2.71Ga);1.79～2.47Ga(平均2.14Ga);1.07～1.57Ga(平均1.38Ga)。模式年龄为中元古代、古元古代的斜长角闪岩的等时线年龄分别为1444±180Ma、2220±210Ma,其模式年龄与等时线年龄在误差范围内一致。表明至少模式年龄为元古宙的斜长角门岩的t_(DM)可代表其原岩的近似形成年龄,从而证明大别核部杂岩单元中存在着古元古代、中元古代两期自亏损地幔分异的基性火山岩变质形成的斜长角闪岩。而模式年龄为新太古代的斜长角闪岩,其模式年龄能否代表其形成年龄还需要进一步研究。各期斜长角闪岩在地球化学特征上的差异表现得不明显。通过对其原岩性质研究表明:原岩主要为拉斑玄武岩,少数为钙碱性玄武岩。大别核部杂岩中斜长角闪岩原岩ε_(Nd)(t)反映出大别核部杂岩地区上地幔自古元古代到中元古代一直沿着亏损地幔 Nd 同位素的演化线演化发展,这种性质及演化趋势与扬子北缘及南秦岭早期上地幔 Nd 同位素性质及演化趋势十分     

藏南扎西康Sb-Pb-Zn-Ag矿床Sm-Nd、Rb-Sr成矿年龄

由于成矿作用的多期性与复杂性,如何精确获取铅锌矿床成矿年龄一直是成矿年代学研究的难点之一。近年来,随着矿物提纯技术及分析测试手段不断完善,基于Sm-Nd及Rb-Sr体系测定热液矿物年龄逐渐成为一种有效的定年方法。通过测定西藏南部扎西康超大型Sb-Pb-Zn-Ag矿床中热液成因菱锰矿Sm-Nd与黄铁矿Rb-Sr同位素组成,获得菱锰矿和黄铁矿对应等时线年龄分别为(99.1±0.9)Ma和(98.0±1.8)Ma,记录了一次重要的热液成矿事件。此外,菱锰矿初始143Nd/144Nd值在0.512 301～0.512 849之间,经99 Ma球粒陨石CHUR计算出εNd值在-6.573 84～4.115 965之间,黄铁矿87Sr/86Sr值在0.714 021～0.719 708之间。这2种矿物均具有盆地流体同位素组成特征。结合前人对成矿物质和成矿流体特征的研究,笔者认为:扎西康矿床主成矿期形成于印度板块向北偏移过程中产生的张性构造系中,矿床属于盆地构造环境控制的铅锌矿床。     

Sm-Nd isotope systematics in garnet from different lithologies (Eastern Alps): age results, and an evaluation of potential problems for garnet Sm-Nd chronometry [Chem. Geol. 185 (2002) 255-281]

Interpretation of Sm-Nd garnet ages is frequently impaired by one of the following restrictions: (a) high-LREE inclusions, (b) isotopic disequilibrium, and (c) the uncertainty about the closure temperature. These issues are addressed by way of an evaluation of garnet Sm-Nd data from different rock types of the Austroalpine basement units, Eastern Alps, including metabasic eclogites, mica schist and paragneiss, metapegmatite and metagranite.Nd concentration in handpicked garnet varies between 0.021 and 23.1 ppm in metabasites, 0.49 and 17.4 ppm in metapelites and between 0.024 and 4.6 ppm in metapegmatites and metagranites. The overall range of ¹⁴⁷Sm/¹⁴⁴Nd is 0.15-2.5 in garnet from metabasites, 0.12-3.03 in metapelite garnet and 0.66-7.21 in Mn-rich garnet from metapegmatites and metagranites. A clear negative correlation between Nd concentration and Sm/Nd is observed in garnets from all these lithologies. Therefrom, it is concluded that even optically “clean” garnet separates may contain high-LREE microinclusions, such as epidote-allanite, zoisite, apatite, sphene, monazite or zircon. However, very low Nd concentrations correlated with low Sm/Nd as well as high Nd concentrations (>5 ppm) correlated with fairly high Sm/Nd ratios (0.8) have also been observed. Apart from replicate analyses within as well as between samples with a common PT-history, leaching experiments are a useful technique to elucidate any distorting influence of unequilibrated inclusions on the garnet age, especially if the observed Sm/Nd ratio is low (<0.5). Leaching of garnet separates with HCl (2.5, 5.8 M) produces no obvious element fractionation, but may improve Sm/Nd, and hence age precision, considerably. Isotopic disequilibrium between garnet and other matrix minerals is observed preferentially in basic eclogites, derived from gabbroic precursors.Sm-Nd garnet analysis allows the recognition of several distinct garnet-forming events in the Eastern Alps.(a) A Variscan high-P event is documented in metabasites from the northern-central Ötztal basement around 360-350 Ma, whereas garnet from sillimanite-bearing gneisses dates the Variscan thermal peak in the western part of the same subunit around 345-330 Ma.(b) A long-lived, Permian to Triassic event (285-225 Ma), correlated with crustal extension and low-P metamorphism, is documented by spessartine-rich garnet from metapegmatites as well as almandine-rich garnet cores from mica schist.(c) Age data of garnet from eo-Alpine (Cretaceous) deeply subducted rocks of the southern/eastern Austroalpine units are related to near-peak PT, eclogite- to amphibolite-facies metamorphic conditions (peak: 2 GPa/685 °C), and/or incipient isothermal decompression, due to fast, tectonically driven exhumation (110/100-85 Ma). At cooling rates of 20-30 °C/Ma (exhumation rates: 3-5 km/Ma), the Sm-Nd closure temperature (T_c) for mm-sized garnet in these rocks is estimated at 650-680 °C.     

湖南黔阳镁铁-超镁铁质岩Sm-Nd年龄测定

本文首次报导湘西黔阳一怀化地区隘口岩体全岩Sm-Nd等时年龄为890±104Ma,钕同位素初始比值为ε_Nd(T)=+1.63±1.90。样品的岩矿地球化学体系表明,岩体源自略亏损的地幔原区,并非为典型的反映大洋成因的蛇绿岩套,而更可能是晚元古宙江南碰撞造山带中段的一个组成部分,如弧后盆地开张初期产物。这一推论对研究华南地区构造演化史有重要指示意义。     

白云鄂博稀土矿床的形成年代：Sm—Nd同位素数据

对采自白云鄂博矿床主铁矿体的6个稀土矿石样品进行了Sm-Nd同位素分析。其结果形成一条等时线:t=1.58±0.36(2?)Ga,148Nd/144Nd(INd)=0.51090±12(2?),end(t)= 6.1±2.4。1.58Ga可能是矿床形成的时代。end(t)值表明,稀土元素来自亏损地幔源,排除了大量陆壳物质加入的可能性。     

Sm-Nd ISOTOPIC AGE OF LAMPROPHYRES IN THE GEZHEN GOLD-BEARING SHEAR ZONE ON HAINAN ISLAND AND ITS GEOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS

Sm-Nd isotopic compositions of eight lamprophyre samples, which come from the Gezhen gold-bearing shear zone on western Hainan Island, are measured. The Sm-Nd isochron age is 495.98&#177;13.14 Ma, (143Nd/144Nd) 0=0.512094, εNd(t) ranges from +1.80 to +2.00 and TDM from 982 Ma to 1196 Ma (average: 1060 Ma). The authors point out that the whole-rock Sm-Nd isochron age (495.98 &#177; 13.14 Ma) really represents the petrogenetic age of lamprophyre and the time of magmatism during subsequent subduction.     

胶南桃行超高压变质岩的氧同位素地球化学及其年代学制约

对苏鲁超高压变质带内诸城桃行地区榴辉岩及其花岗片麻岩围岩进行了单矿物氧同位素组成分析和锆石U-Pb定年。氧同位素组成显示出不均一亏损~(18)O的特征。石英-石榴石等高温矿物对的氧同位素温度为600～950℃,指示它们在榴辉岩相变质条件下达到并保存了氧同位素平衡。而部分石英-长石和白云母-金红石等矿物对的氧同位素温度为350～570℃,指示它们在峰期变质之后的角闪岩相退变质过程中达到并保存了同位素退化交换再平衡。锆石氧同位素组成低达-1.3‰～4.2‰,对这种低δ~(18)O值进行锆石U-Pb定年,分别得到762～834Ma的原岩年龄和202～249Ma的变质年龄。因此,桃行低δ~(18)O值锆石形成于新元古代(700～800Ma)的低δ~(18)O值岩浆。这种低δ~(18)O值岩浆是由于变质岩原岩经历新元古代高温大气降水热液蚀变后再部分熔融所形成。对于在角闪岩相退变质之后保存了封闭体系的花岗片麻岩样品(石英-长石矿物对温度为355～405℃),石榴石在榴辉岩相变质温度下达到并保存了氧同位素平衡(石英-石榴石矿物对温度为685℃),指示石榴石中Sm-Nd体系在同样的变质务件下也达到了平衡。因此,花岗片麻岩中石榴石-斜长石-全岩的Sm-Nd等时线年龄215±11Ma与锆石变质边的三叠纪年龄(202～249Ma)一样,代表了榴辉岩相峰期变质后的冷却年龄。而花岗片麻岩中石英-钾长石和石英-斜长石矿物对处于氧同位素不平衡状态,同时钾长石和斜长石相对于样品中其它矿物异常亏损~(18)O,指示在角闪岩相退变质之后体系曾经开放,岩石受到低~(18)O流体在低温和中温下(200～400℃)的热液蚀变。这种奈件下矿物氧同位素的退化交换是由表面反应机制控制,与Nd的扩散机制不同,因此氧同位素平衡无法制约Sm-Nd矿物等时线的有效性。     

Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd isotopic systematics in chondrites and their constraints on the Lu-Hf properties of the Earth

Sm-Nd and Lu-Hf isotopic data are presented for 19 chondritic meteorites: six carbonaceous chondrites, five L-chondrites, seven H-chondrites, and a single enstatite chondrite. The primary goal of the study is to better define the Bulk Silicate Earth (BSE) reference values for Hf isotopes. Except for one sample with lower Sm/Nd, the Sm-Nd data define a cluster around the accepted reference values for chondrites and terrestrial planets, giving a mean ¹⁴⁷Sm/¹⁴⁴Nd of 0.1960±0.0005, and a mean ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd of 0.512631±0.000010 (uncertainties are two standard errors). It seems appropriate to retain the presently accepted Sm-Nd reference parameters, ¹⁴⁷Sm/¹⁴⁴Nd=0.1966 and ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd=0.512638 (when fractionation-corrected to ¹⁴⁶Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd=0.7219).Lu-Hf isotopic data are not clustered, but spread along an approximate 4.5-Ga isochron trend, with a range of ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf from 0.0301 to 0.0354. The data are similar to many of the samples of chondrites presented by Bizzarro et al. [Nature 421 (2003) 931], but lack the range to lower Lu/Hf shown by those authors. Our chondrite data define a regression line of 4.44±0.34 Ga when 1.867×10⁻¹¹ year⁻¹ is used for the decay constant of ¹⁷⁶Lu [Science 293 (2001) 683; Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 219 (2004) 311-324]. Combining our data with the main population of analyses from Bizzarro et al. [Nature 421 (2003) 931] yields 4.51±0.24 Ga. Unless samples of eucrite meteorites and deviating replicates of chondrites with ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf less than 0.030 are employed, no combination of the main population of chondrite Lu-Hf data yields a regression with sufficiently low error to constrain the decay constant of ¹⁷⁶Lu. Sample heterogeneity seems to hinder the acquisition of reproducible Lu-Hf analyses from small, manually ground pieces of chondrites, and we suggest that analysis of powders prepared from large volumes of meteorite will be needed to adequately characterize the Lu-Hf isotope systematics of chondritic reservoirs and of BSE. Our results for carbonaceous chondrites show higher average ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf and ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf than ordinary chondrites, and the mean of carbonaceous chondrites also coincides with replicate analyses of a powder representing a large volume of meteorite, the Allende powder from the Smithsonian Institution. Use of the carbonaceous chondrite mean for BSE Lu-Hf characteristics results in a BSE Hf-Nd point that lies well within the array of terrestrial compositions, and leads to plausible initial ε_Hf values for Precambrian rocks. An improved objective resolution of meteorite data and of meteoritic models for the Earth needs to occur before BSE can be established for Lu-Hf.
