Decoupling between the middle and upper crust during transpression-related lateral flow: Variscan evolution of the Aston gneiss dome (Pyrenees, France)

We present a structural, AMS, microstructural and kinematic study of the Aston gneiss dome (French Pyrenees), which consists of a core made up of orthogneiss and paragneiss intruded by numerous sills of Carboniferous peraluminous granite. The orthogneiss corresponds to a former Ordovician granitic laccolith. Four Variscan events have been evidenced in this gneiss dome: (i) D1 deformation observed only as relics in the orthogneisses and their country-rocks located above the sillimanite isograd, and characterized by a NS to NE–SW non coaxial stretch associated to top to the south motions (NS convergence); (ii) D2-a deformation observed in the orthogneisses and their country-rocks, mainly migmatitic paragneisses, located below the sillimanite isograd and in the peraluminous granites whatever their structural level, and characterized by an EW to N120°E stretch associated to a top to the east flat shearing (lateral flow in the hot middle crust in a transpressive regime); (iii) D2-b deformation characterized by EW-trending megafolds corresponding to the domes in the middle crust and by EW-trending tight folds with subvertical axial planes in the metasedimentary upper crust; (iv) subvertical medium-temperature mylonitic bands developed by the end of the transpression.The Aston massif is a good example of decoupling between a cold upper crust and a hotter middle crust overheated by a thermal event originated in the upper mantle. This decoupling allowed the lateral flow of the migmatitic middle crust along a direction at high angle with respect to the more or less NS-trending direction of convergence. We suggest that the HT-LP metamorphism developed before the formation of the domes during D2-a, coevally with the emplacement of numerous sills of peraluminous granite, whereas the emplacement of the large calc-alkaline plutons in the upper crust occurred by the end of D2-b. Our data invalidate the previous geodynamical models based on either early or late extensional regime to explain the development of the HT-LP metamorphism. This new interpretation of the dynamics of the Variscan crust of the Pyrenees is consistent with recent studies conducted in Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic hot continental crusts having undergone oblique convergence, and characterized by a competition between vertical thickening and lateral flow induced by the important rheological contrast between two thermally different levels.

片麻岩穹窿与伟晶岩型锂矿的成矿规律探讨

"片麻岩穹窿"是指中下地壳热动力过程产生的与岩浆作用(或混合岩化作用)密切相关的穹状构造,是折返造山的产物.片麻岩穹窿的形成经历了从垂直上升的地壳流导致的岩浆上涌的挤压收缩到岩体侵位的顶部伸展机制的转化过程,这一过程有利于富含锂-铯-钽型(LCT)型伟晶岩的生成和锂族元素的富集.研究表明,位于青藏高原北部的中国松潘-甘孜-甜水海印支造山带是中国大型"伟晶岩型"锂矿资源赋存的基地,松潘-甘孜东南部的超大型甲基卡型伟晶岩型锂矿带,产于具有巴罗式"低/中压-高温"变质组合的三叠纪复理石围岩中,早中生代花岗岩以及衍生的大量含锂稀土矿物的伟晶岩脉侵位有成因关系.研究认为,探究片麻岩穹窿的形成过程和构造成因机制;识别花岗岩-含矿伟晶岩的地球化学属性,揭示花岗岩浆分异作用与含矿伟晶岩相演变的成因联系,以及锂元素迁移、富集熔浆的过程;圈定三叠纪地层中巴罗式变质相带的展布,探明富锂伟晶岩矿带赋存的有利变质相带及形成的P-T条件;揭示"变形-变质-岩浆深熔-成矿"的时空耦合、制约与相互作用,再造造山过程中锂资源富集和保存的规律,以及建立成矿动力学模式;是揭示片麻岩穹窿与伟晶岩型锂矿的成矿规律的重要科学途径.     

热穹隆构造及其对金矿的控矿作用

热穹隆构造是在一个构造活动（逆冲）带中,由沿走向发生的地壳差异性升降运动（走向波浪机制）产生的构造穹隆中的热（液）活动事件,或是在这些部位由于中浅成岩浆岩的底辟式侵入而产生的热力性穹隆构造,它对金矿成矿的控制机理主要体现在适宜的浅层构造空间,贯深性构造通道及深源（下地壳）的岩浆源和矿质热液源的有机统一,主要的容矿空间为穹隆构造所产生的放射状（或束状）及环状构造裂隙系统。     

黄陵断穹核部鳞片石墨矿地球化学特征与成因研究

黄陵断穹核部石墨矿是我国鳞片(晶质)石墨矿的主要产区,对该区石墨矿的研究具有重要理论和实际意义。该区已有石墨矿研究成果多侧重于矿床地质方面,对矿床成因分析缺乏地球化学支撑。为此,本文从地球化学层面查明石墨矿原岩类型,碳质富集岩相、变质作用和晶质石墨的形成,为矿床成因和成矿作用提供地球化学依据。通过系统采集区内主要石墨矿样品,进行主量元素、微量元素、稀土元素和同位素分析,根据矿床地球化学原理和分析方法,阐明石墨矿的物质来源,成矿元素集散行为和矿床形成机制。根据主量元素含量和组合,推断石墨的原岩为碳质粉砂质泥岩。微量元素的双重性指示石墨矿的物质有两个来源:中太古代野马洞岩组和中太古代东冲河片麻杂岩。独特的稀土元素配分型式说明物源转化为原岩时存在着强烈的地球化学反应。石墨矿的碳同位素组成支持碳质来自有机物的观点。

Formation of elongated granite–migmatite domes as isostatic accommodation structures in collisional orogens

The mid-Carboniferous Pelhřimov core complex, Bohemian Massif, is a crustal-scale elongated granite–migmatite dome interpreted to have formed by gravity-driven diapiric upwelling of the metapelitic middle crust. The vertical diapiric flow is evidenced by outward-dipping foliation and lineation patterns, deformation coeval with the widespread presence of melt, rapid exhumation of the dome center from depths corresponding to pressure of about 0.6 GPa to shallow levels (pressure less than 0.2 GPa) within 2 M.y., and kinematic indicators of downward return flow of the mantling rocks. As compared to common diapirs, however, the Pelhřimov complex exhibits a more complicated inferred strain pattern with two perpendicular, irregularly alternating directions of horizontal extension in what is interpreted as the diapir head. Comparison of structural data from migmatites with anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) data in granites also reveals that only final increments of strain are recorded in the granites. The map dimensions and gravity image of the complex suggest that the diapiric upwelling affected a large portion of the orogen's interior between two microplates brought together during continental collision. The northwesterly microplate (the upper-crustal Teplá–Barrandian unit) collapsed vertically as an ‘elevator’ at around 346–337 Ma whereas the easterly microplate (Brunia) was underthrust beneath the Moldanubian rocks during ∼346–330 Ma (the indentor). It is suggested that these microplates then acted as cold and rigid margins localizing mid-crustal diapirism and associated voluminous S-type granite plutons inbetween, parallel to the edge of the Brunia indentor.We conclude that bringing together soft metapelitic middle crust with two rigid lithospheric blocks during collision resulted in significant lateral temperature and strength variations across the orogen's interior. A general conclusion from these inferences is that granite–migmatite domes delineating margins of collided microplates may form as crustal-scale structures accommodating late-orogenic isostatic reequilibration.     

黄陵隆起中-新生代隆升作用的裂变径迹证据

通过对8个样品磷灰石裂变径迹年龄和3个样品锆石裂变径迹年龄的测定以及时间-温度热演化历史的反演,研究黄陵隆起中新生代的隆升作用过程,结果表明：黄陵隆起自晚三叠世200Ma开始隆升,表现为持续的隆升过程,经历了4个阶段：200Ma～160Ma±的缓慢隆升冷却作用阶段;160Ma～98．4Ma的快速隆升冷却阶段,岩体进入磷灰石部分退火带中;之后进入了一个构造相对稳定的阶段,样品滞留在部分退火带中;随后36．7Ma～28．4Ma以来,再次快速隆升剥蚀冷却。两次快速的隆升作用指示了中扬子地区两次强烈的构造活动和构造变革。作为印支期以来持续的古隆起,黄陵隆起周缘地区是中扬子地区海相油气运聚有利的指向区。

湖北大悟大磊山金矿矿床成因与控矿构造

在翔实的野外地质工作基础上,对湖北大悟大磊山金矿床进行矿区填图,并结合前人研究成果,充分分析大磊山金矿的控矿构造及矿床成因,认为该金矿导矿、配矿构造是一种新的构造类型,二者均不是断裂构造,而是燕山期区域广泛的岩浆活动使得大磊山花岗岩穹窿上隆,导致围岩沿接触面下滑,形成剪切带,该剪切带为后期热液提供了导矿、配矿通道;新元古代片麻状二长花岗岩为金矿提供了较高的金元素背景值,燕山期岩浆活动不但使金元素活化、迁移,也为金矿成矿提供了物质来源,金矿的矿床成因是中低温岩浆期后热液矿床;根据含金石英脉充填煌斑岩脉裂隙的地质特征,利用LA-ICP MS锆石U-Pb定年法获得了煌斑岩成岩年龄为126.8±2.0 Ma,从而限定了大磊山金矿成矿年代。
