超高压变质作用不同阶段的流体变化：碧溪岭榴辉岩的氢、硼同位素分析

大别山碧溪岭榴辉岩中有三种含水矿物:多硅白云母、角闪石和黑云母,它们分别是超高压(UHP)阶段(即柯石英榴辉岩相阶段)或者石英榴辉岩相阶段、退变质后成合晶阶段和角闪岩相退变质阶段的产物,本文利用离子探针技术对它们进行了氢同位素和硼同位素的分析。三种矿物内部的同位素组成都是均一的,多硅白云母的δD为-105‰±9‰,δ~(11)B为-25.9‰±2.0‰;角闪石的δD为-100‰±9‰,δ~(11)B为-24.4‰±0.9‰;黑云母的δD为-65‰±4‰,δ~(11)B为-19.3‰±1.3‰。多硅白云母和角闪石的氢-硼同位素组成在误差范围内是相同的,而和黑云母则有明显的差别,这表明,从UHP阶段或者石英榴辉岩相阶段到随后的后成合晶阶段,变质流体是内部缓冲的,而在角闪岩相变质阶段,则有了外来流体的加入,这个流体是相对富集D和~(11)B的。碧溪岭榴辉岩矿物相对于其地壳原岩表现出低δ~(11)B的特征,说明俯冲过程中板块经历了强烈的脱硼。     

胶南桃行超高压变质岩的氧同位素地球化学及其年代学制约

对苏鲁超高压变质带内诸城桃行地区榴辉岩及其花岗片麻岩围岩进行了单矿物氧同位素组成分析和锆石U-Pb定年。氧同位素组成显示出不均一亏损~(18)O的特征。石英-石榴石等高温矿物对的氧同位素温度为600～950℃,指示它们在榴辉岩相变质条件下达到并保存了氧同位素平衡。而部分石英-长石和白云母-金红石等矿物对的氧同位素温度为350～570℃,指示它们在峰期变质之后的角闪岩相退变质过程中达到并保存了同位素退化交换再平衡。锆石氧同位素组成低达-1.3‰～4.2‰,对这种低δ~(18)O值进行锆石U-Pb定年,分别得到762～834Ma的原岩年龄和202～249Ma的变质年龄。因此,桃行低δ~(18)O值锆石形成于新元古代(700～800Ma)的低δ~(18)O值岩浆。这种低δ~(18)O值岩浆是由于变质岩原岩经历新元古代高温大气降水热液蚀变后再部分熔融所形成。对于在角闪岩相退变质之后保存了封闭体系的花岗片麻岩样品(石英-长石矿物对温度为355～405℃),石榴石在榴辉岩相变质温度下达到并保存了氧同位素平衡(石英-石榴石矿物对温度为685℃),指示石榴石中Sm-Nd体系在同样的变质务件下也达到了平衡。因此,花岗片麻岩中石榴石-斜长石-全岩的Sm-Nd等时线年龄215±11Ma与锆石变质边的三叠纪年龄(202～249Ma)一样,代表了榴辉岩相峰期变质后的冷却年龄。而花岗片麻岩中石英-钾长石和石英-斜长石矿物对处于氧同位素不平衡状态,同时钾长石和斜长石相对于样品中其它矿物异常亏损~(18)O,指示在角闪岩相退变质之后体系曾经开放,岩石受到低~(18)O流体在低温和中温下(200～400℃)的热液蚀变。这种奈件下矿物氧同位素的退化交换是由表面反应机制控制,与Nd的扩散机制不同,因此氧同位素平衡无法制约Sm-Nd矿物等时线的有效性。     

Kimberlite AT-56: a mantle sample from the north central Superior craton, Canada

Kimberlite AT-56, discovered in February 2001, represents the most recent addition to the Attawapiskat kimberlite cluster, located in the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario, Canada. AT-56 is a small kimberlite body with a surface diameter of approximately 40 m and a steep southeastern plunge. It consists of a medium to coarse-grained matrix supported kimberlite with abundant olivine, clinopyroxene, garnet, ilmenite and mica macrocrysts in a green-black to orange-black matrix. The kimberlite is classified as a hypabyssal facies sparsely macrocrystic calcite kimberlite. Heavy mineral concentrates from two representative samples of AT-56 have been analyzed to characterize the mantle sampled by the kimberlite. Both samples yielded large heavy mineral concentrates comprised of roughly equal proportions of Mg-ilmenite, Cr-diopside, high-Cr garnet and low-Cr garnet. Mg-chromite is also present in quantities an order of magnitude less than the other constituents.

The high-Cr peridotitic garnet macrocrysts are only slightly more abundant than the low-Cr varieties, the population being dominated by G9 (lherzolitic) types with only a few (less than 10%) weakly sub-calcic G10 (probable harzburgitic) garnets present. Ni thermometry results for a representative selection of G9 and G10 garnets indicate that the majority equilibrated at temperatures ranging from 1000 to 1250 °C. A significant proportion of the low-Cr garnet population derived from AT-56 is characterized by relatively low-Ti (0.2 to 0.4 wt.% TiO₂) and elevated Na (0.07 to 0.13 wt.% Na₂O) contents characteristic of Group 1, diamond inclusion type eclogite garnets. These sodic garnets have elevated Cr₂O₃ contents (typically 1 to 2 wt.% Cr₂O₃), suggesting they may be websteritic in origin rather than eclogitic. Comparison of AT-56 garnet compositions with published data available for other Attawapiskat kimberlites suggests websteritic mantle has also been sampled by kimberlite bodies elsewhere in the Attawapiskat cluster and it may be an important diamond reservoir in this area.     

Nature of diamonds in Yakutian eclogites: views from eclogite tomography and mineral inclusions in diamonds

We have performed dissections of two diamondiferous eclogites (UX-1 and U33/1) from the Udachnaya kimberlite, Yakutia in order to understand the nature of diamond formation and the relationship between the diamonds, their mineral inclusions, and host eclogite minerals. Diamonds were carefully recovered from each xenolith, based upon high-resolution X-ray tomography images and three-dimensional models. The nature and physical properties of minerals, in direct contact with diamonds, were investigated at the time of diamond extraction. Polished sections of the eclogites were made, containing the mould areas of the diamonds, to further investigate the chemical compositions of the host minerals and the phases that were in contact with diamonds. Major- and minor-element compositions of silicate and sulfide mineral inclusions in diamonds show variations among each other, and from those in the host eclogites. Oxygen isotope compositions of one garnet and five clinopyroxene inclusions in diamonds from another Udachnaya eclogite (U51) span the entire range recorded for eclogite xenoliths from Udachnaya. In addition, the reported compositions of almost all clinopyroxene inclusions in U51 diamonds exhibit positive Eu anomaly. This feature, together with the oxygen isotopic characteristics, is consistent with the well-established hypothesis of subduction origin for Udachnaya eclogite xenoliths. It is intuitive to expect that all eclogite xenoliths in a particular kimberlite should have common heritage, at least with respect to their included diamonds. However, the variation in the composition of multiple inclusions within diamonds, and among diamonds, from the same eclogite indicates the involvement of complex processes in diamond genesis, at least in the eclogite xenoliths from Yakutia that we have studied.     

大别-苏鲁区超高压变质岩的多期构造变质演化

对大别-苏鲁地区超高压(UHP)变质岩的详细构造和岩石学研究揭示了其复杂的构造变质演化历史。除前超高压事件外,至少可识别出5个相继发育的构造变质事件或阶段(D_1-D_5)。D_1和 D_2同超高压事件与三叠纪(250～230Ma)中朝克拉通和扬子克拉通间的大陆深俯冲及碰撞有关,而超高压后的 D_3和 D_4韧性变形及其伴生的减压部分熔融作用和退变质作用事件,则是超高压岩石向中上地壳折返过程中(230～140Ma)发生的。碰撞后形成的 D_4构造,主导了大别-苏鲁超高压和高压变质带区域尺度的构造格架。第5阶段的构造以摩擦或摩擦-粘性过渡性变形机制为主,并伴随有大规模的未变形的花岗质岩体就位,该期构造热事控制了现今大别-苏鲁地区的地貌学特征。新的构造和岩石学资料并结合可利用的地质年代学和地球化学等资料,提出一个涉及中朝与扬子克拉通间三叠纪大陆深俯冲、碰撞及相继超高压变质岩石向地表的多期折返构造变质演化模式。     

Ultra-high-pressure (UHP) marble and eclogite in the Su-Lu UHP terrane, eastern China

A large mass of dolomitic marble including many eclogite blocks occurs in orthogneisses of the Rongcheng area of the Su-Lu province, eastern China. The marble consists mainly of dolomite, calcite (formerly aragonite), graphite, forsterite, diopside, talc, tremolite and phlogopite. Aggregates of talc and calcite occur at the boundary between dolomite and diopside. Tremolite is a reaction product between talc and calcite. Eclogite blocks are rimmed by dark green amphibolite. The primary mineral assemblage in the core of eclogite is Na-bearing garnet (up to 0.2  wt% Na₂O), omphacitic pyroxene, clintonite and rutile. Secondary minerals are pargasitic/edenitic amphibole, plagioclase, sodic diopside, chlorite, zoisite and titanite. The peak metamorphic conditions, based on stability of the dolomite+forsterite+aragonite (now calcite)+graphite assemblage, under conditions where tremolite is unstable, are estimated at T  =610–660 °C and P =2.5–3.5  GPa (for X _{CO=0.001). A reaction between dolomite and diopside to form talc under tremolite-unstable conditions indicates a temperature decrease under ultra-high-pressure conditions (} P >2.4  GPa, X _{CO<0.0013). The formation of secondary tremolite is consistent with a nearly adiabatic pressure decrease post-dating the ultra-high-pressure metamorphism. The temperature decrease under ultra-high-pressure conditions preceding decompression may reflect the underplating of a cold slab, and the rapid decompression probably corresponds to the upwelling stage promoted by the delamination of a downwelling lithospheric root. The} P – T  conditions of the amphibolitization stage are estimated at <0.9  GPa and <460 °C, and are similar to conditions recorded by the surrounding orthogneisses.     

Very-low-temperature record of the subduction process: A review of worldwide lawsonite eclogites

Lawsonite eclogites preserve a record of very-low-temperature conditions in subduction zones. All occur at active margin settings, typically characterized by accretionary complexes lithologies and as tectonic blocks within serpentinite-matrix mélange. Peak lawsonite-eclogite facies mineral assemblages (garnet + omphacite + lawsonite + rutile) typically occur in prograde-zoned garnet porphyroblasts. Their matrix is commonly overprinted by higher-temperature epidote-bearing assemblages; greenschist- or amphibolite-facies conditions erase former lawsonite-eclogite relics. Various pseudomorphs after lawsonite occur, particularly in some blueschist/eclogite transitional facies rocks. Coesite-bearing lawsonite-eclogite xenoliths in kimberlitic pipes and lawsonite pseudomorphs in some relatively low-temperature ultrahigh-pressure eclogites are known. Using inclusion assemblages in garnet, lawsonite eclogites can be classified into two types: L-type, such as those from Guatemala and British Columbia, contain garnet porphyroblasts that grew only within the lawsonite stability field and E-type, such as from the Dominican Republic, record maximum temperature in the epidote-stability field.

Formation and preservation of lawsonite eclogites requires cold subduction to mantle depths and rapid exhumation. The earliest occurrences of lawsonite-eclogite facies mineral assemblages are Early Paleozoic in Spitsbergen and the New England fold belt of Australia; this suggests that since the Phanerozoic, secular cooling of Earth and subduction-zone thermal structures evolved the necessary high pressure/temperature conditions. Buoyancy of serpentinite and oblique convergence with a major strike-slip component may facilitate the exhumation of lawsonite eclogites from mantle depths.     

榴辉岩退变质过程中的微量元素地球化学行为：对CCSD主孔退变质榴辉岩的研究

对中国大陆科学钻探工程主孔榴辉岩退变质过程中的微量元素地球化学行为进行了研究。对退变质程度连续变化样品的不同部分的对比研究表明，流体作用下的退变质过程中大离子亲石元素（Cs、Rb、Ba、Sr、K、Th、U）和轻稀土元素表现出较大的活动性，重稀土元素和高场强元素变化相对较小。退变质后大离子亲石元素的显著增加和高场强元素、重稀土元素的轻微变化（甚至相对降低），表明与退变质作用有关的流体中的络阴离子含量很少，并不富集高场强元素和重稀土元素。退变质后总体上表现出的Si、大离子亲石元素和轻稀土元素的明显变化，表明外来流体参与了榴辉岩的退变质过程，带入和带出了一些元素。结合榴辉岩中单矿物微量元素组成以及前人对D^Mineral/Fluid的研究成果，对流体-榴辉岩作用形成的退变质分带（富石英条带→角闪岩→退变质榴辉岩→新鲜榴辉岩）的微量元素组成变化进行了详细研究。结果表明在流体作用下的榴辉岩退变质过程中，大离子亲石元素、轻稀土元素和高场强元素含量的变化除了受退变质流体性质的影响外，更大程度上取决于退变质过程中的矿物相（尤其是副矿物）的变化。     

中国大陆科学钻探主孔高钛与低钛榴辉岩地球化学特征对比及其对金红石成矿的指示意义

榴辉岩型金红石矿床是我国原生金红石矿床的最重要类型。本文以中国大陆科学钻探主孔0～2000m范围内揭露的榴辉岩为对象，通过对榴辉岩中TiO2与其它元素协变关系的全面分析，同时结合我国原生榴辉岩型金红石矿床TiO2的平均品位，将榴辉岩区分为高钛榴辉岩（TiO2〉2％）和低钛榴辉岩（TiO2〈2％），并据此系统对比了二类榴辉岩地球化学组成的差异。研究结果表明，高钛榴辉岩相对贫硅、贫钾、富铁，Al2O3／TiO2比值和全碱（K2O＋Na2O）含量总体偏低，Cs、Rb、Ba等大离子亲石元素和Zr、Hf等高场强元素不同程度亏损，而放射性元素Th、U则相对富集，并总体具有较低的轻重稀土比值。榴辉岩型金红石矿床的形成主要受原岩因素制约，原岩的源区组成、产出环境、起源深度、部分熔融程度和随后的结晶分异过程对Ti的初始富集均具重要影响，富钛基性原岩是榴辉岩型金红石矿床形成的物质基础，高压区域变质作用是这类矿床形成的必要条件。     

中国大陆科学钻探主孔中磷灰石的磁黄铁矿出溶结构

在中国大陆科学钻探主孔中部的榴辉岩样品B1021R642P40a、B1039R646P47a、B1046R648P4c和B1053R649P74k中,我们发现了磷灰石的磁黄铁矿出溶结构。磷灰石是该榴辉岩的主要副矿物,其自形程度较高,与石榴石共生。样品中几乎所有磷灰石均发育出溶结构,至少存在两组相互垂直的出溶棒。出溶棒形状规则,一样宽(<1μm),但长度变化大(5～50μm)。利用高分辨能谱仪测定表明,出溶棒主要由Fe和S两种元素组成。由于还不能准确地确定其Fe/S比值,初步确定其为磁黄铁矿(Fe_(1-x)S)。磷灰石由于含大量稀土元素和挥发性组分如OH、F、Cl和S,它的深循环因此可能对地球的水、硫以及其它挥发性组分的全球平衡具有重要影响。
