U–Pb ages of detrital zircons within the Inthanon Zone of the Paleo-Tethyan subduction zone,northern Thailand: New constraints on accretionary age and arc activity

U–Pb dating of detrital zircons was performed on mélange-hosted lithic and basaltic sandstones from the Inthanon Zone in northern Thailand to determine the timing of accretion and arc activity associated with Paleo-Tethys subduction. The detrital zircons have peak ages at 3400–3200, 2600–2400, 1000–700, 600–400, and 300–250 Ma, similar to the peaks ages of detrital zircons associated with other circum-Paleo-Tethys subduction zones. We identified two types of sandstone in the study area based on the youngest detrital zircon ages: Type 1 sandstones have Late Carboniferous youngest zircon U–Pb ages of 308 ± 14 and 300 ± 16 Ma, older than associated radiolarian chert blocks within the same outcrop. In contrast, Type 2 sandstones have youngest zircon U–Pb ages of 238 ± 10 and 236 ± 15 Ma, suggesting a Middle Triassic maximum depositional age. The youngest detrital zircons in Type 1 sandstones were derived from a Late Carboniferous–Early Permian ‘missing’ arc, suggesting that the Sukhothai Arc was active during sedimentation. The data presented within this study provide information on the development of the Sukhothai Arc, and further suggest that subduction of the Paleo-Tethyan oceanic plate beneath the Indochina Block had already commenced by the Late Carboniferous. Significant Middle Triassic arc magmatism, following the Late Carboniferous–Early Permian arc activity, is inferred from the presence of conspicuous detrital zircon U–Pb age peaks in Type 2 sandstones and the igneous rock record of the Sukhothai Arc. In contrast, only minimal arc activity occurred during the Middle Permian–earliest Triassic. Type 1 sandstones were deposited between the Late Permian and the earliest Triassic, after the deposition of associated Middle–Late Permian cherts that occur in the same mélanges and during a hiatus in Sukhothai Arc magmatism. In contrast, Type 2 sandstones were deposited during the Middle Triassic, coincident with the timing of maximum magmatism in the Sukhothai Arc, as evidenced by the presence of abundant Middle Triassic detrital zircons. These two types of sandstone were probably derived from discrete accretionary units in an original accretionary prism that was located along the western margin of the Sukhothai Arc.

Field evidence,mineral chemical and geochemical constraints on mafic-felsic magma interactions in a vertically zoned magma chamber from the Chotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex of Eastern India

The Nimchak granite pluton (NGP) of Chotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGGC), Eastern India, provides ample evidence of magma interaction in a plutonic regime for the first time in this part of the Indian shield. A number of outcrop level magmatic structures reported from many mafic-felsic mixing and mingling zones worldwide, such as synplutonic dykes, mafic magmatic enclaves and hybrid rocks extensively occur in our study domain. From field observations it appears that the Nimchak pluton was a vertically zoned magma chamber that was intruded by a number of mafic dykes during the whole crystallization history of the magma chamber leading to magma mixing and mingling scenario. The lower part of the pluton is occupied by coarse-grained granodiorite (64.84–66.61?wt.% SiO₂), while the upper part is occupied by fine-grained granite (69.80–70.57?wt.% SiO₂). Field relationships along with textural and geochemical signatures of the pluton suggest that it is a well-exposed felsic magma chamber that was zoned due to fractional crystallization. The intruding mafic magma interacted differently with the upper and lower granitoids. The lower granodiorite is characterized by mafic feeder dykes and larger mafic magmatic enclaves, whereas the enclaves occurring in the upper granite are comparatively smaller and the feeder dykes could not be traced here, except two late-stage mafic dykes. The mafic enclaves occurring in the upper granite show higher degrees of hybridization with respect to those occurring in the lower granite. Furthermore, enclaves are widely distributed in the upper granite, whereas enclaves in the lower granite occur adjacent to the main feeder dykes.Geochemical signatures confirm that the intermediate rocks occurring in the Nimchak pluton are mixing products formed due to the mixing of mafic and felsic magmas. A number of important physical properties of magmas like temperature, viscosity, glass transition temperature and fragility have been used in magma mixing models to evaluate the process of magma mixing. A geodynamic model of pluton construction and evolution is presented that shows episodic replenishments of mafic magma into the crystallizing felsic magma chamber from below. Data are consistent with a model whereby mafic magma ponded at the crust-mantle boundary and melted the overlying crust to form felsic (granitic) magma. The mafic magma episodically rose, injected and interacted with an overlying felsic magma chamber that was undergoing fractional crystallization forming hybrid intermediate rocks. The intrusion of mafic magma continued after complete solidification of the magma chamber as indicated by the presence of two late-stage mafic dykes.     

秦岭造山带商南-西峡地区富水杂岩的变辉长岩中斜锆石与锆石U-Pb同位素年龄的差异

秦岭造山带富水杂岩体的一些变辉长岩含有粒度较大且U、Pb含量较高的斜锆石和锆石,是U-Pb同位素测年的极好矿物.对该杂岩体的中粗粒角闪黑云辉长岩中的斜锆石和锆石分别进行了SHRIMP法和TIMS法U-Pb同位素年龄测定,获得斜锆石和锆石的U-Pb同位素年龄分别为501.4 Ma±1.2 Ma和480.0 Ma±3.4Ma,两者相差约20 Ma.对该岩石中部分斜锆石向锆石转化的现象及锆石的成因进行了初步研究,认为斜锆石的U-Pb同位素年龄应解释为秦岭富水杂岩中基性岩石的形成时代,而锆石的成因及其U-Pb同位素系统在变质作用过程中的变化比较复杂,对其U-Pb同位素年龄地质意义的合理解释需做进一步的研究.     

Chemistry and Sulfur Isotopes of the Chert-Clastic Sequence Surrounding the Kajika Massive Sulfide Ores at the Ashio Copper Mine, Ashio Terrane, Central Japan

Abstract. Chemical and sulfur isotopic compositions were obtained for a series of rocks within the chert‐clastic sequence surrounding the Kajika massive sulfide ore horizon at Shibukawasawa in the Ashio copper‐mining district, Ashio Terrane, central Japan. The sequence is lithologically classified into three units: chert, siliceous shale with basic volcanics, and sandstone‐shale, in ascending stratigraphic order. The Kajika ore horizon corresponds to the lowermost part of the unit that contains siliceous shale with basic volcanics. The rocks around the Kajika ore horizon are enriched in P₂O₅ (max. 0.22 %), Ba (max. 2400 ppm), Cu (595 ppm), V (323 ppm), Pb (168 ppm), Zn (124 ppm), and Mo (24 ppm) in siliceous shale; and Ba (4220 ppm), Zr (974 ppm), Cr (718 ppm), Ni (492 ppm), V (362 ppm), Zn (232 ppm), Nb (231 ppm), and Co (71 ppm) in the basic volcanics. The siliceous shale is enriched in a number of redox‐sensitive elements such as Cu, V, Pb, Zn, and Mo, which are known to be enriched in black shale and anoxic and hydrothermal sediments. The δ³⁴S values of sulfides in the chert and sandstone‐shale lie in the range of 0±2 %, and those in the siliceous shale range from ‐5 to ‐14 %. The measured δ³⁴S values in the basic volcanics are ‐0.3, ‐2.7, and ‐31.5 %. These heavier δ³⁴S signatures (around 0 %) recorded throughout the sequence indicate that the rocks formed under anoxic bottom‐water conditions. Slightly lighter δ³⁴S values recorded in siliceous shale might reflect significant mixing of sulfides that formed by sulfate‐reducing bacteria in an overlying oxic environment. The long‐term duration of anoxic conditions indicated by the heavier δ³⁴S signature is considered to have played an important role in protecting the Kajika sulfide ores from oxidative decomposition and preserving the ores in sedimentary accumulations.

新疆塔什库尔干碱性杂岩体主要由苦子干碱性正长岩体和卡日巴生碱性花岗岩体组成，是帕米尔地区最大的新生代碱性杂岩体。本文在岩相学和矿物化学的基础上，着重研究了苦子干岩体主要造岩矿物的种属、共生关系和结晶顺序。研究表明，苦子干岩体中的不同岩石类型系同源岩浆演化的产物；岩浆在整个演化过程中平衡结晶作用占主导，分离结晶作用的影响极小。据岩浆房中矿物结晶时的温度和压力条件、矿物的结晶特征及演化趋势，推测岩浆上升速度较快，侵位较浅。

新桥硫铁矿矿床疏干引起地面塌陷及其综合治理

新桥硫铁矿是一座以岩溶裂隙水为主,顶板直接充水的水文地质条件复杂的矿床。由于矿床疏干,地下水位大幅下降,造成地面的沉降、开裂、塌陷。针对其不同的成因机制,采取了地表水防渗,矿坑探,堵水和水文监测等一系列综合防治措施,多年来矿区未出现过大面积沉降和塌陷现象,地面开裂也趋于缓和,达到了理想的治理效果,对矿床深部开采及其它类似矿山的开采有一定的指导意义。

青海南山沟后岩浆杂岩体锆石U-Pb年代学、岩石成因及其地质意义

青海南山构造带是衔接宗务隆构造带、南祁连构造带和西秦岭造山带的重要结合带。沟后岩浆杂岩体位于青海南山构造带东段,主要由辉长岩、辉长闪长岩、石英闪长岩、花岗闪长岩组成。本文对沟后岩浆杂岩体进行了详细的岩石学、岩石地球化学和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素年代学研究。结果表明,辉长岩、辉长闪长岩、石英闪长岩、花岗闪长岩及暗色微粒包体的结晶年龄分别为248.8±2.6 Ma、243.2±2.1 Ma、243.1±0.9 Ma、244.0±2.1 Ma和249±3 Ma。辉长岩富铁、镁,贫碱;辉长闪长岩高铝、富钙和钠,二者均为钙碱性岩类。石英闪长岩和花岗闪长岩为准铝-弱过铝质高钾钙碱性岩,暗色微粒包体属钙碱性-碱性岩系列。不同岩石类型均表现为富集大离子亲石元素(Cs、Rb、K)和Pb,亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Ti)和P、Ba负异常;稀土元素配分曲线均具有轻重稀土分异的右倾特征,具弱-中等负Eu异常。岩相学和岩石地球化学特征表明沟后岩浆杂岩体具壳幔岩浆混合特征,暗示其可能形成于由俯冲流体交代地幔楔部分熔融的幔源岩浆底侵作用下的构造环境。辉长岩为幔源岩浆经分离结晶的产物,辉长闪长岩为幔源岩浆经分异演化并混染少量壳源岩浆的产物;中基性岩浆与壳源中酸性岩浆发生混合并经历一定的分异演化过程形成了石英闪长岩和花岗闪长岩。结合区域地质资料分析认为,沟后岩浆杂岩体可能代表了研究区早三叠世晚期-中三叠世早期宗务隆洋向南消减作用相关的构造岩浆事件。
