Metamorphic and cooling history of the Shimanto accretionary complex,Kyushu, Southwest Japan: Implications for the timing of out‐of‐sequence thrusting

Illite crystallinity, K–Ar dating of illite, and fission‐track dating of zircon are analyzed in the hanging wall (Sampodake unit) and footwall (Mikado unit) of a seismogenic out‐of‐sequence thrust (Nobeoka thrust) within the Shimanto accretionary complex of central Kyushu, southwest Japan. The obtained metamorphic temperatures, and timing of metamorphism and cooling, reveal the tectono‐metamorphic evolution of the complex, and related development of the Nobeoka thrust. Illite crystallinity data indicate that the Late Cretaceous Sampodake unit was metamorphosed at temperatures of around 300 to 310°C, while the Middle Eocene Mikado unit was metamorphosed at 260 to 300°C. Illite K–Ar ages and zircon fission‐track ages constrain the timing of metamorphism of the Sampodake unit to the early Middle Eocene (46 to 50 Ma, mean = 48 Ma). Metamorphism of the Mikado unit occurred no earlier than 40 Ma, which is the youngest depositional age of the unit. The Nobeoka thrust is inferred to have been active during about 40 to 48 Ma, as the Sampodake unit started its post metamorphic cooling after 48 Ma and was thrust over the Mikado unit at about 40 Ma along the Nobeoka thrust. These results indicate that the Nobeoka thrust was active for more than 10 million years.     

中日地理学者的论文写作年龄对比分析

以2000年以来的《地理学报》中英文版论文为例,分析了中国地理学者的论文写作年龄特征,包括平均写作年龄、论文写作主体年龄段、高峰期年龄等等,并以日本《地理学评论》为参照,分析了体制环境因素对地理学者论文写作年龄和周期的影响。结果表明,中国地理学母语论文的写作主体是40岁左右年龄段的学者,而英文论文的写作主体是35岁左右年龄段的学者。中国地理学者的母语平均写作年龄要高于日本,但英文论文作者的平均年龄则低于日本,这种差异反映了中日两国在科研管理制度及理念上的不同。在概括分析了两者差异后提出了对中国地理学的学科发展建议。     

Constraints on the age of the Tuchengzi Formation by LA-ICP-MS dating in northern Hebei-western Liaoning,China

Accurately determining the age of the Tuchengzi Formation has direct influence on confirming the boundary between the Jurassic and the Cretaceous systems in northern Hebei-western Liaoning, and on related geological problems in China. However, the Tuchengzi Formation mainly consists of sedimentary rocks, with a poor fossil record and especially lack of index fossils. The Tuchengzi Formation is also lack of the type of volcanic rocks that can provide an isotopic age. Therefore, the age of the Tuchengzi Formation has been uncertain. Based on our systematic dating of the tuff interbedded in the Tuchengzi Formation of Chengde and Jinlingsi-Yangshan basins in northern Hebei-western Liaoning, combined with the dating results of previous researchers, here we suggest that the age range of the Tuchengzi Formation in northern Hebei-western Liaoning is from 147 Ma to 136 Ma. It implied that the Tuchengzi Formation was mainly formed in the Early Cretaceous. Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 90714010)     

Permo–Triassic Barrovian-type metamorphism in the ultrahigh-temperature Kontum Massif, central Vietnam: Constraints on continental collision tectonics in Southeast Asia

The Kontum Massif in central Vietnam is composed of various metamorphic complexes including a high-temperature southern part (Kannak and Ngoc Linh complexes) and a low- to medium-temperature northern part (Kham Duc complex). The Kham Duc complex exhibits Barrovian-type medium-pressure metamorphism evidenced by kyanite- and/or staurolite-bearing metapelites. The garnet–gedrite–kyanite gneiss, which is the focus of the present study, preserves several mineral parageneses formed during a prograde and retrograde metamorphic history: staurolite + quartz in gedrite, garnet + gedrite + kyanite in the matrix, and spinel + cordierite symplectite between gedrite and sillimanite. The calculated semiquantitative petrogenetic grid reveals peak pressure conditions of 620–650°C at 1.1–1.2 GPa and peak temperature conditions of 730–750°C at 0.7–0.8 GPa. The monazite U–Th–Pb electron microprobe ages of the garnet–gedrite–kyanite gneiss and associated gneisses yield 246 ± 3 Ma for the Kham Duc complex, which is similar to the age of the high- to ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism in the adjacent Kannak and Ngoc Linh complexes of the southern Kontum Massif. The present results indicate that both the Barrovian-type and ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism occurred simultaneously in the Kontum Massif during an event strongly related to Permo–Triassic microcontinental collision tectonics in Asia.     

西大别浒湾高压变质带变沉积岩锆石U-Pb年龄及地质意义

西大别山浒湾高压变质带是研究秦岭-大别山-苏鲁造山带演化的关键区域, 但是该地区榴辉岩相变质时间还存在较大争议.本文通过对浒湾变质带熊店附近的一个变沉积岩样品进行LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年和微量元素分析, 来确定该地区榴辉岩相变质作用和碎屑锆石的年龄, 并确定该变质带的演化历史.该样品的变质锆石具有弱分带或无分带、低Th/U比值、重稀土含量低且相对平坦以及无明显的Eu负异常等特征.反映这些变质锆石形成时有石榴石, 而缺乏长石, 其形成对应于榴辉岩相变质作用条件.该样品中变质锆石的206Pb/238U加权平均值为310±3Ma, 这一年龄代表了该地区榴辉岩相峰期变质作用的时间, 因此浒湾地区榴辉岩相变质作用时间为石炭纪.碎屑岩浆锆石得到了3组近谐和的U-Pb年龄, 其206Pb/238U年龄变化范围分别为: 400±5Ma~419±5Ma、426±5Ma~449±5Ma以及496±5Ma~524±7Ma, 还有1个颗粒给出了580±7Ma的较老年龄.这些结果表明变沉积岩中的碎屑锆石可能大部分来自于华北板块南缘, 少量来自于扬子板块.      

松潘造山带马尔康强过铝质花岗岩的成因及其构造意义

松潘造山带广泛出露印支期后碰撞型花岗岩类, 其中包括埃达克质花岗岩类、A型花岗岩和I型花岗岩, 但目前人们对该区印支期强过铝质花岗岩尚未有深入的研究.松潘造山带马尔康花岗岩属于强过铝质花岗岩(A/CNK=1.10~1.20), 其岩石类型主要为中粒二云母花岗岩和中细粒二云母花岗岩.利用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年方法, 获得中粒二云母花岗岩的岩浆结晶年龄为208±2Ma, 中细粒二云母花岗岩的岩浆结晶年龄为200±2Ma.马尔康强过铝质花岗岩K₂O/Na₂O=1.13~1.75, 富Rb、Th和U, 贫Sr、Ba、Co和Ni等元素; 稀土元素组成上显示存在强到中等的负Eu异常(Eu/Eu*=0.15~0.65);全岩初始87Sr/86Sr比值(ISr) 为0.70712~0.71137, εNd (t) =-10.36~-8.43, 锆石εHf (t) =-11.8~-1.1.地球化学和Sr-Nd-Hf同位素组成一致表明, 它们的岩浆来自于地壳物质的部分熔融, 其中中粒二云母花岗岩的源岩类型主要为地壳中的泥质岩类, 而中细粒二云母花岗岩的源岩主要为地壳中的杂砂岩类.结合松潘带的地质背景、区域构造-岩浆事件及其岩浆岩的组合分析, 印支期岩石圈拆沉作用可以用来解释马尔康强过铝质花岗岩的形成机制.在松潘带, 印支期岩石圈拆沉作用导致软流圈物质上涌, 这不仅促使了加厚下地壳物质发生部分熔融, 如松潘带印支期埃达克质和I型花岗岩浆的形成, 而且还诱发了中地壳物质的部分熔融, 如马尔康强过铝质花岗岩的形成.这表明松潘带印支期岩石圈拆沉作用已使地壳不同层次发生部分熔融作用.      

内蒙古大苏计斑岩钼矿床花岗质杂岩年代学、地球化学、Hf同位素组成及其地质意义

内蒙古卓资县大苏计斑岩钼矿化与区内花岗质杂岩(石英斑岩、正长花岗斑岩和花岗斑岩)有密切的成因联系。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年获得石英斑岩、正长花岗斑岩和花岗斑岩的结晶年龄分别为(234±3)Ma、(225±4)Ma和(220±4)Ma。杂岩体富硅(w(SiO_2)=70.37%~78.84%)、富碱(w(Na_2O+K_2O)=4.52%~8.77%),均属高钾钙碱性系列,普遍具有低的w(Na_2O)(0.15%~2.69%)和高的铝指数(ASI介于1.13~3.35)。稀土元素总量介于48.2×10~(-6)~527.0×10~(-6),石英斑岩稀土元素含量(48.2×10~(-6)~83.1×10~(-6))最低,正长花岗斑岩稀土元素含量(272.1×10~(-6)~527.0×10~(-6))最高,花岗斑岩稀土元素含量为162.5×10~(-6)~236.8×10~(-6);杂岩体δEu介于0.15~0.93之间,(La/Yb)N介于3.0~65.5,自正长花岗斑岩、花岗斑岩到石英斑岩,其Eu负异常逐渐増大,而(La/Yb)N逐渐减小。岩体普遍富集Rb、Th、U、K、Nd、Zr、Hf等,强烈亏损Sr、P、Ti等。正长花岗斑岩具有中等Ba、Ta、Nb亏损。石英斑岩和花岗斑岩均属于高分异花岗岩,而正长花岗斑岩属于I型花岗岩。主量、稀土和微量元素特征表明,杂岩体具有后碰撞或后造山花岗岩特征,形成于后碰撞或后造山环境。杂岩体锆石的Hf同位素显示,3种岩石的εHf(t)值介于-21.1~-8.1,二阶段模式年龄tDM2介于1775~2587 Ma。石英斑岩来自于古元古代地壳物质的部分熔融;正长花岗斑岩来自于古元古代晚期地壳物质的部分熔融;花岗斑岩也主要来自于古元古代地壳物质的部分熔融,但有少量新太古代地壳物质参与。     

延边地区青龙村群斜长角闪岩中锆石U-Pb同位素年龄及地质意义

青龙村群岩石类型主要为片岩类、斜长角闪岩类、粗细粒片麻岩类和大理岩夹层。岩石地球化学特征表明,青龙村群的原岩属于钙碱性安山岩-流纹岩组合,这套组合是岛弧区玄武质岩浆分异的产物,推测它是一个较宽阔的大陆边缘拼贴缝合带中的一个岛弧地体。LA-ICP-MS颗粒锆石U-Pb法同位素年龄测定表明,青龙村群斜长角闪岩中锆石年龄为(274±6) Ma,梨树沟花岗岩体中的锆石年龄为(187±3) Ma,这一事实说明青龙村群的变质作用时代为二叠纪末期,代表华北板块北缘的碰撞造山事件。而周边大面积花岗岩的侵位时间为燕山早期,属青龙村群碰撞造山后伸展事件产物。     

吉林色洛河群的重新认识

色洛河群出露于吉林省色洛河-华集岭一带,位于华北克拉通北缘东段,长期以来一直被认为是中新元古代地层。最近的野外调查和定年研究表明,它包含了时代、成因、构造样式、变质程度不同的变质地层和变形的花岗岩,作为一个岩石地层单位已不合适,应予解体。原划分的色洛河群至少由4部分组成：新太古代变质火山-沉积地层（锆石SHRIMP年龄为2 517~2 534 Ma）、晚古生代变质火山-沉积地层（英安岩锆石 SHRIMP年龄为 252 Ma）、二叠纪片麻状杂岩体（锆石SHRIMP年龄为260 Ma）和侏罗纪糜棱岩化花岗岩（锆石SHRIMP年龄为168 Ma）。前人在色洛河一带定义的色洛河岩群为一套变质火山-沉积岩系,可能是形成于晚古生代的一套地层,也可能是由不同时代的构造岩片构成的构造杂岩。     

康定杂岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年及其地质意义

康定杂岩在扬子地块西缘呈南北向带状分布,这套岩石岩性变化很大(从基性到中性、酸性),中性、酸性岩是组成该杂岩的主体。岩石类型有变辉长岩、闪长质片麻岩、石英闪长质片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩。康定杂岩以往被认为是扬子地块太古宇的基底,但近年来的同位素年龄测定结果表明其并不是形成于太古宙。本研究样品采自康定-泸定地区,挑选有代表性的两个样(样号71704.2、71501.1),对其进行岩石化学与微量元素分析及SHRIMP U-Pb测年。分析得出样品为钙碱性;原始地幔标准化微量元素分布型式显示相对富集大离子亲石元素K、Rb等,亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、Ti、P等;稀土元素具有略向右倾的配分型式,且铕异常不明显,显示其具有与消减作用有关的岛弧火成岩的特征。锆石U-Pb分析给出的结晶年龄为765～771 Ma,w(Th)/w(U)大于0.1,具示岩浆成因特征。个别年轻的锆石颗粒,如71704.2中的12.1测点年龄为(430±8)Ma,可能是在后期构造、岩浆、变质作用中新形成的锆石,该年龄可解释为后期变质热事件的年龄。这些充分说明康定杂岩形成于新元古代,而非太古宙。此外,康定杂岩可能形成于岛弧环境,其岩浆主要起源于俯冲洋壳的熔融,结合其形成年龄说明扬子地块西缘新元古代岩浆活动可能是Rodinia超大陆裂解后的产物。
