Geophysical and structural signatures of syntectonic batholith construction: the South Mountain Batholith, Meguma Terrane, Nova Scotia

The Late Devonian South Mountain Batholith is a very large (7000 km²) composite peraluminous granitoid complex situated within the Meguma Terrane of the northern Appalachians. It is made up of two suites of granodioritic to leucogranitic plutons emplaced at approximately 380–370 Ma during the Acadian Orogeny, i.e. during the collision of Gondwana with the eastern margin of North America. A significant geophysical and geological database makes the South Mountain Batholith a type example of a very large syntectonic batholith emplaced within a collisional orogen. Gravity models reveal the plutons have flat or gently dipping floors at approximately 7.0 km depth and aspect ratios >6:1. They are underlain by deeper (>10 km) elongate northeast–southwest-trending roots that may indicate magma feeder zones. Dyke transport of granitic magma and the progressive construction of plutons by sheet injections are supported by field observations and by mapping of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility at the pluton scale. The very narrow deformation aureole within the country rocks suggests lateral spreading of the plutons was not the main space creation mechanism during emplacement; space was mostly created by vertical displacements of country rocks. The data are consistent with a laccolithic model for syntectonic batholith assembly. The laccolithic plutons may have been emplaced at the base of the Meguma Supergroup metasedimentary rocks, suggesting a maximum thickness of approximately 7.0 km for the supracrustal rocks in the Meguma Terrane.

Subduction and Collision of the Jinsha River Paleo-Tethys: Constraints from Zircon U-Pb Dating and Geochemistry of the Ludian Batholith in the Jiangda–Deqen–Weixi Continental Margin Arc

The Jiangda–Deqen–Weixi continental margin arc(DWCA) developed along the base of the Changdu–Simao Block and was formed as a result of the subduction of the Jinsha River Ocean Slab and the subsequent collision. The Ludian batholith is located in the southern part of the DWCA and is the largest batholith in northwest Yunnan. Granite samples from the Ludian batholith yield an early Middle Permian age of 271.0 ± 2.8 Ma. The geochemical data of the early Middle Permian granitoids show high Si2 O, low P2 O5 and MgO contents that belong to calc-alkaline series and peraluminous I-type rocks. Their εHf(t) values range from-5.01 to +0.58, indicating that they were formed by hybrid magmas related to the subduction of the Jinsha River Tethys Ocean. The monzonite and monzogranite samples yield Late Permian ages of 250.6 ± 1.8 Ma and 252.1 ± 1.3 Ma, respectively. The Late Permian granitoids are high-K calc alkaline and shoshonite series metaluminous I-type rocks. Their εHf(t) values range from-4.12 to-1.68 and from-7.88 to-6.64, respectively. The mixing of crustal and mantle melts formed the parental magma of the Late Permian granitoids. This study, combined with previous work, demonstrates the process from subduction to collision of the Jinsha River Paleo-Tethys Ocean.     

古特提斯缝合带澜沧江段花岗岩高温高压实验模拟

对古特提斯主体遗迹的云南西部昌宁-孟连构造混杂缝合带、临沧花岗岩基、澜沧江韧性变形变质带进行了岩石高温高压三轴变形实验模拟研究．以期对该构造带形成时期所处的构造物理环境作出判断。实验岩洋取自紧邻澜沧江韧性剪切变形变质带西侧的临沧花岗岩基。实验后样品产生了一系列新生显微构造，对应的地壳深度环境相当于中下地壳(13-18km)。澜沧江韧性变形变质带花岗岩的显微组构以动力重结晶颗粒极为发育为特征，表明其形成时的环境远比实验深度更深。综合考虑临沧花岗岩基现在的厚度(达15km)和花岗岩浆流动的上限深度(8-10km)以及风化剥蚀量．可以认为临沧花岗岩基的形成深度可大于25km，原始岩浆源于下地壳下部．接近莫霍面的顶面。澜沧江韧性变形变质带的形成与临沧岩基向东逆冲相关．它直抵古特提斯俯冲板块下插滑动顶面。研究表明，昌宁-孟连古特提斯曾发生过真正意义上的大规模洋壳俯冲．是一个具有较大规模的古洋盆。     

SHRIMP ziron U-Pb geochronology of early Mesozoic felsic igneous rocks from the southern Lancangjiang and its tectonic implications

The SHRIMP zircon U-Pb geochronology of three typical samples, including two monzonitic granites from the Lincang batholith and a rhyolite from the Manghuai Formation are presented in the southern Lancangjiang, western Yunnan Province. The analyses of zircons for the biotite monzonitic granites from the northern (02DX-137) and southern (20JH-10) Lincang batholith show the single and tight clusters on the concordia, and yield the weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U ages of 229.4 ± 3.0 Ma and 230.4 ± 3.6 Ma, respectively, representing the crystallized ages of these granites. The zircons for the rhyolitic sample (02DX-95) from the Manghuai Formation give a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 231.0 ± 5.0 Ma. These data suggest that the igneous rocks from the Lincang granitic batholith and Manghuai Formation have a similar crystallized age. In combination with other data, it is inferred that both were generated at a narrow age span (∼230 Ma) and were originated from the postcollisional tectonic regime. An early Proterozoic ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U apparent age of 1977±44 Ma is additionally obtained from one zircon from the biotite monzonitic granite (southern Lincang batholith), indicative of development of the early Proterozoic Yangtze basement in the region. These precisely geochronological data provide important constraints on better understanding the Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the Tethys, western Yunnan Province.

冀东都山花岗岩基及相关花岗斑岩脉SHRIMP锆石U-Pb法定年及其意义

都山花岗岩体是冀东地区最大的花岗岩基,在其周边产有众多与其有关的“卫星”岩体和岩脉。采用先进的SHRIMP定年方法,测得都山花岗岩基的206Pb/238U年龄为(223±2)Ma,其东侧三家金矿区成矿前花岗斑岩脉的年龄为(222±4)Ma,二者在误差范围内一致,花岗岩基和花岗斑岩脉可视为同一次岩浆活动的产物。这种晚古生代末—早中生代印支期的花岗岩在华北克拉通北缘广泛分布,显示它是一次重要的构造-岩浆事件的产物。根据岩石化学和微量元素特征及有关判别图,都山等印支期花岗岩可能属中朝板块与西伯利亚板块碰撞造山作用的后碰撞花岗岩。花岗斑岩脉中发现有新太古代的继承锆石,表明花岗斑岩的部分源岩为区内新太古代八道河岩群变质岩。都山花岗岩与花岗斑岩脉同时、同源,推测其源岩也有部分为新太古代结晶基底的变质岩。花岗岩与区内金矿化有较大的时差,两者不存在直接的成因联系,仅表明成矿晚于早中生代印支期。
