碧口地块麻山、木皮岩体岩石地球化学与地质年代学:对构造属性的指示意义

对侵位于康县断层南侧青川-平武断层北侧碧口地块中的麻山和木皮岩体进行了系统的锆石U-Pb年代学、岩石地球化学和Sr-Nd同位素研究。锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb年龄分析表明木皮岩体的形成时代为226±2Ma。麻山和木皮岩体分别由二长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩组成,岩石为过铝质,主量元素特征为SiO2≥56%,Al2O3≥15%和MgO3%。岩石具有较高的Sr(578×10-6～1146×10-6)和较低的Yb(0.4×10-6～0.9×10-6)含量,Sr/Y比值介于69～139之间。岩石显示右倾的REE配分型式和弱的负Eu异常,(La/Yb)N比值为12～36。这些地球化学特征表明麻山和木皮岩体可能主要是由埃达克质岩石组成。岩石较高的ISr(0.706～0.705)和较低的εNd值(-6.5～-9.4)表明这些埃达克质岩石可能是加厚下地壳物质部分熔融的结果。麻山和木皮岩体的地球化学特征及年龄与勉-略缝合带北侧光头山等岩体一致,表明这些岩体可能代表了秦岭造山带南部晚三叠世造山加厚地壳条件下的产物,因此碧口地块可能属于南秦岭造山带,并推测麻山和木皮岩体及所在的碧口地块可能是印支期加厚的下地壳韧性流壳层向SW方向斜向挤出的结果。     

Stability of sapphirine + quartz in the oxidized rocks of the Wilson Lake terrane,Labrador: calculated equilibria in NCKFMASHTO

The equilibrium coexistence of sapphirine + quartz is inferred to record temperatures in excess of 980 °C, based on the stability of this assemblage in the simplified chemical system FeO–MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ (FMAS) system. However, the potential for sapphirine to contain significant Fe³⁺ suggests that the stability of sapphirine + quartz could extend to lower temperatures than those constrained in this ideal system. The Wilson Lake terrane in the Grenville Province of central Labrador preserves sapphirine + quartz‐bearing assemblages in highly oxidized bulk compositions, and provides an opportunity to explore the stability of sapphirine + quartz in such rock compositions within the Na₂O–CaO–K₂O–FeO–MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–H₂O–TiO₂–O (NCKFMASHTO) chemical system. Starting with the phase equilibria in FeO–MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–TiO₂–O (FMASTO), expansion into K₂O–FeO–MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–H₂O–TiO₂–O (KFMASHTO) allows the effect of the stability of the additional phases, biotite, K‐feldspar and melt, on the stability of sapphirine + quartz to be assessed. These phase relations are evaluated generally using P–T projections, and the ultimate extension into NCKFMASHTO is done with pseudosections. Conditions of peak metamorphism in the Wilson Lake terrane are constrained using P–T pseudosections, and the appropriate H₂O and O contents to use in the modelled compositions are investigated using T–M_H2O and T–M_O pseudosections. The peak P–T estimates from a sapphirine + quartz‐bearing sample are ～960 to 935 °C at ～10 to 8.6 kbar, similar to estimates from orthopyroxene + sillimanite + quartz ± garnet‐bearing samples. Whereas the sapphirine + quartz‐bearing sample is more Fe‐rich than the orthopyroxene + sillimanite‐bearing sample on an all‐Fe‐as‐FeO basis, once the oxidation state is taken into account, the former is effectively more magnesian than the latter, accounting for the sapphirine occurrence.     

Multiple partial melting events in the Sulu UHP terrane: zircon U–Pb dating of granitic leucosomes within amphibolite and gneiss

Thin layers and lenses of granitic leucosome are widely distributed within amphibolites, paragneisses and orthogneisses of the Sulu UHP terrane. They are parallel to, or cross‐cut, foliations in the host rocks at different scales and show evidence of coalescence and migration to form centimetre‐ to decimetre‐scale segregations. Variously migmatized rocks extend at least 350 km from SW Sulu (Maobei) to NE Sulu (Weihai), in a band at least 50 km wide. A combined study of mineral inclusions, cathoduluminescence (CL) images, U–Pb LA‐ICP‐MS dates, and in‐situ trace element compositions of zircon provide clear evidence on the nature and timing of partial melting in these UHP rocks. Most zircon from the granitic leucosomes occurs as distinct overgrowths around inherited (igneous or metamorphic) cores or as new, euhedral crystals. The overgrowths and new crystals commonly show perfectly euhedral shapes, have pronounced oscillatory zoning and contain felsic mineral inclusions, such as Kfs + Pl + Qtz ± Ilm ± monazite (Mon). In contrast, the inherited igneous or metamorphic cores are rounded or irregular, contain low‐P or UHP mineral inclusions and show clear dissolution textures. These data suggest that the new zircon is anatectic in origin and that it grew during partial melting of the UHP rocks. The REE patterns of the anatectic zircon show steep slopes from the HREE to LREE with strongly to moderately negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.31–0.72) and pronounced positive Ce anomalies (Ce/Ce* = 6.8–26.5). Abundant U–Pb spot analyses of the anatectic zircon reveal two discrete and meaningful ages of partial melting within the Sulu UHP terrane. Anatectic zircon from 12 granitic leucosomes within amphibolites, paragneisses, and orthogneisses from Sulu UHP slices II and III yields consistent mean U–Pb ages of 219.0 ± 1.2 to 218.3 ± 1.6 Ma, 218.8 ± 2.0 to 217.3 ± 1.7 Ma and 218.2 ± 1.4 to 215.0 ± 1.5 Ma, respectively. In contrast, anatectic zircon from six granitic leucosomes within paragneisses and orthogneisses from Sulu UHP slice III records younger mean U–Pb ages of 151.9 ± 1.3 to 151.1 ± 1.8 Ma and 155.9 ± 1.8 to 153.7 ± 1.7 Ma, respectively. These data imply that the Sulu UHP terrane experienced two Mesozoic partial melting events. The first partial melting event (219–215 Ma) was probably associated with a Late Triassic granulite facies stage of ‘hot’ exhumation, whereas the second (156–151 Ma) is interpreted as the result of Middle‐Late Jurassic extension and thinning of the previously thickened crust of the Sulu UHP terrane. Both partial melting events induced extensive retrograde metamorphism of the eclogites and their country rocks.     

Structural,metamorphic and geochronological record in the Goszów quartzites of the Orlica–Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland): implications for the polyphase Variscan tectonometamorphism of the Saxothuringian terrane

This integrated study on the pressure–temperature–deformation‐time record of the Goszów light quartzites from the Młynowiec–Stronie Group (Sudety Mts., SW Poland) provides new data that improve our understanding of the structure and geodynamic development of the Orlica–Śnieżnik Dome (OSD) as a Gondwana‐derived unit involved in the formation of the Variscan orogen. The structural and metamorphic record of the Goszów light quartzites, when compared to the under‐ and overlying rock formations, indicates that the whole Młynowiec–Stronie Group in the eastern part of the Saxothuringian terrane functioned as a single, integral lithotectonic unit with no visible structural or metamorphic discontinuities. The sequence of structures and thermodynamic modelling indicate that the light quartzites underwent the same polyphase tectonometamorphic evolution as the adjacent rocks belonging to the Młynowiec–Stronie Group. The development of tight, N–S‐trending folds and axial penetrative metamorphic foliation was related to metamorphic progression from 500 °C to 640 °C at 6–7 kbar. Subsequently, under the retrogressive conditions below 540 °C, the foliation was reactivated as a result of subsequent N–S‐directed ductile shearing and extension. Therefore, the study of the light quartzites exemplifies the penetrative structures in the OSD, and the metamorphic foliation and N–S‐trending lineation are composite structures. The monazite metamorphic ages of ca. 364 Ma and 335 Ma may be related to the approximately E–W‐ and N–S‐oriented tectonic movements, respectively, which occurred during the amalgamation of the Saxothuringian terrane with Brunovistulia. In contrast, the previously unknown early Palaeozoic monazite age of ca. 494 Ma is interpreted as the protolith age of the light quartzites. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

SHRIMP dating of magmatism in the Hitachi metamorphic terrane,Abukuma Belt,Japan: Evidence for a Cambrian volcanic arc

Ion microprobe dating of zircon from meta‐igneous samples of the Hitachi metamorphic terrane of eastern Japan yields Cambrian magmatic ages. Tuffaceous schist from the Nishidohira Formation contains ca 510 Ma zircon, overlapping in age with hornblende gneiss from the Tamadare Formation (ca 507 Ma), and meta‐andesite (ca 507 Ma) and metaporphyry (ca 505 Ma) from the Akazawa Formation. The latter is unconformably overlain by the Carboniferous Daioin Formation, in which a granite boulder from metaconglomerate yields a magmatic age of ca 500 Ma. This date overlaps a previous estimate for granite that intrudes the Akazawa Formation. Intrusive, volcanic, and volcaniclastic lithologies are products of a Cambrian volcanic arc associated with a continental shelf, as demonstrated by the presence of arkose and conglomerate in the lowermost Nishidohira Formation. Granitic magmatism of Cambrian age is unknown elsewhere in Japan, except for a single locality in far western Japan with a similar geological context. Such magmatism is also unknown on the adjacent Asian continental margin, with the exception of the Khanka block in far northeastern China. A ‘great hiatus’ in the Paleozoic stratigraphy of the Sino–Korean block also exists in the Hitachi terrane between Cambrian volcanic arc rocks and Early Carboniferous conglomerate, and may indicate a common paleogeographic provenance.

胶北地块早元古代钙硅酸盐岩与高压基性麻粒岩成因及地质意义

胶北地块发育一套早元古代变质杂岩,主要由浅变质到中高级变质的滨海相至浅海相的沉积岩系列组成,属于胶-辽-吉构造活动带的一部分。其中具有顺时针变质作用PT轨迹的高压基性麻粒岩和高压泥质麻粒岩指示了造成该带闭合的碰撞构造过程。本文研究与高压基性麻粒岩密切共生的钙硅酸盐岩。首先根据矿物反应关系研究,确定钙硅酸盐岩是由含石榴石的基性麻粒岩经钙质交代形成的。进一步采用残留单斜辉石-石榴石组合、退变矿物组合,并根据SACMF体系矿物组合演化的PT视剖面图,计算得出钙硅酸盐岩经历了早期温压条件为780~850℃、1.0~1.1GPa的变质作用和晚期温压条件为400~650℃、0.6~0.75GPa的退变质作用和交代作用,从而得出顺时针的P-T轨迹。这一结果表明,钙硅酸盐岩形成于陆-陆碰撞过程的晚期阶段,是高压基性麻粒岩在折返过程中经历退变质和Ca质交代联合作用的结果。钙硅酸盐岩的形成机制及其与石榴石基性麻粒岩原岩的成因联系的确立,丰富了对于碰撞变质地块抬升过程及其岩石学效应的认识。     

Sr–Nd isotope data of basement rocks from the northernmost argentine Precordillera and its implications for the early Paleozoic evolution of SW Gondwana margin

The Precordillera terrane (Cuyania) in western Argentina is commonly accepted as an exotic fragment derived from Laurentia in the Early Paleozoic. Evidence supporting such an interpretation is manly based on similarities in the sedimentary cover successions and their paleontological content. Little is known about the basement of the Precordillera terrane. Its isotopic characterization is essential to better constrain the present areal distribution of the terrane and it may provide more insight into the pre-rifting evolution of the Precordillera terrane along the Iapetan margin of Laurentia. We present new Sr and Nd isotope data of pre-Late Ordovician meta-igneous rocks from the Río Bonete region in NW Argentina, interpreted as the northernmost extent of the Precordillera. The Nd systematics of the Río Bonete basement rocks including greenschists and metagabbros (εNd₍₄₇₀₎ = +2.14–−0.19; T_DM = 0.99–1.2 Ga), a garnet-amphibolite (εNd₍₄₇₀₎ = −0.53; T_DM = 1.32 Ga) and a quartz-phyllite (εNd₍₄₇₀₎ = −3.83; T_DM = 1.55 Ga), are similar to other pre-Ordovician meta-igneous rocks from Sierra de Umango, Pie de Palo and the Ullum xenoliths, usually interpreted as the basement of the Precordillera terrane. Nd model ages around 1.2 Ga are also typical from the Mesoproterozoic Grenvillian basement of southern North America, currently exposed in the Llano region. In addition, the greenschists and metagabbros show a robust correlation with the Late Neoproterozoic Catoctin volcanics in the central Appalachians. The Sr isotope data (when not disturbed) also supports this novel interpretation and suggests the presence of the Blue Ridge rifting event in Precordillera. According to our interpretation, some lithotypes included within the basement complex of the Río Bonete area belonged to the basement of the Precordillera terrane supporting previous correlation between both regions.

胶东和鲁西金矿床空间分布分形差异及对金来源的启示

胶东和鲁西地体发育大量的中生代金矿床,其金元素的来源一直是学术界争论的焦点,可能的来源方式为：交代岩石圈地幔、前寒武纪变质基底和中生代二长花岗岩。为了进一步厘定金的来源,文章从金的富集阶段模式和金矿床是金元素超常富集地质体的思想出发,运用金矿床的空间分布数据和空间分析的分形地质统计方法,进行了研究。研究结果发现,胶东金矿床（N=823）具有一阶段的空间分形分布模式,其分形维数α=0.726,具有单一来源或单一成因的特征;结合前人研究和克拉通破坏和西太平洋俯冲的地质背景,推断胶东金元素极有可能是单一的交代岩石圈地幔来源;而胶东地体西侧鲁西地体中发育的金矿床（N=139）则具有二阶段的空间分形分布模式,其分形维数分别为α1=1.630和α2=0.850,具有2种金元素来源或2种成因类型的特征,可能分别对应着早前寒武纪变质岩及韧性剪切带有关金矿床和晚中生代岩浆活动有关金矿床空间分布的分形维数,后者的值与胶东地体的分形维数相近,结合前人研究,推测鲁西部分金矿床来源于交代岩石圈地幔的贡献,另一部分则可能来自于花岗质岩浆。
