Country‐rock structural fabrics as a guide to pluton emplacement depth: An example from the Hodgkinson Province,northeastern Australia

Country‐rock structures adjacent to plutons of the linear, northwest‐southeast‐trending Mt Alto Supersuite, Hodgkinson Province, northeastern Australia, are variably developed from north to south along the belt. S₃ and S₄ cleavages show close temporal relationships with pluton emplacement and are better and more widely developed around plutons in the north, whereas much weaker cleavages of the same generation are only sporadically developed to the south. Cleavage trend lines anastomose around less elongate plutons to the north but are generally truncated by more elongate plutons to the south. It is proposed that a major crustal dislocation, the Alto Fault Zone, comprises a set of subparallel structures that formed prior to granite intrusion and controlled emplacement of some plutons and their final shapes. The north‐south variation in structural relations is interpreted to reflect a corresponding variation in depth of emplacement from north to south, which resulted when post‐emplacement reactivation of the Alto Fault Zone uplifted and sinistrally displaced the northern end of the supersuite relative to the southern end. Reactivation of the fault zone after granite emplacement is supported by the truncation of some plutons.     

Low-pressure regional metamorphism in the Omeo Metamorphic Complex, Victoria, Australia

The Omeo Metamorphic Complex forms the southern end of the Wagga Metamorphic Belt, which is the main locus of Palaeozoic low-pressure metamorphism in the Lachlan Fold Belt, south-eastern Australia. It comprises metamorphosed Ordovician quartz-rich turbidites originally derived from Precambrian cratonic rocks. Prograde regional metamorphism occurred in the early Silurian, very soon after sedimentation had ceased. The sequence of metamorphic zones, with increasing grade, is: chlorite, biotite, cordierite, andalusite–K-feldspar and sillimanite–K-feldspar. Migmatites occur in the sillimanite–K-feldspar zone, but large bodies of S-type granite were derived from rocks underlying the exposed Ordovician sequence. P and T estimates for the highest grade rocks are T = 700°C and P = 3.5 kbar, indicating a very high P–T gradient of 65°C/km.
The high heat flow during prograde metamorphism probably resulted from a combination of a thermal anomaly persisting from a pre-metamorphic back-arc basin environment, and intrusion of hot, mantle-derived magmas into the lower and middle crust.
Regional retrograde metamorphism coincided with a general reheating of the crust in the Siluro-Devonian, accompanied by intrusion of many I-type plutons and resetting of the K–Ar dates of some earlier plutons. The Omeo Metamorphic Complex was exposed to erosion at this time.     

湘南西山铝质A型花岗质火山-侵入杂岩的地球化学及其形成环境

初步研究表明,以往被认为是典型的S型花岗质岩石的湘南西山火山侵入杂岩应为铝质A型花岗质岩石。该杂岩富硅碱贫钙镁、K2O/Na2O>1、准铝过铝质(0.94～1.26);FeO /MgO比值大(平均12.05),高于M型,S型和I型花岗岩。在微量元素和稀土元素组成上,岩石富LREE,Ga,Y,Nb,Zr等大离子高场强元素及亏损Ni,Cr,Eu,Ti,V,P,Sr等,与国内外A型花岗岩相似。与一般A型花岗岩来源于I型花岗岩或大量抽提了S型花岗岩物质后的地壳源区不同,西山火山侵入杂岩的I(Sr)(0.71612～0.71823)较高,εNd(-7.0～-8.0)较低,钕模式年龄(1 517～1 600Ma)略小于区域上变质基底和中国东南部中生代花岗岩类的钕模式年龄,显示其直接来源于地壳物质的部分熔融,但可能有少量新生地幔物质的加入。西山铝质A型花岗质火山侵入杂岩是中侏罗世晚期挤压造山作用趋于结束,造山带崩塌,岩石圈强烈伸展减薄、热流值上升的构造背景下形成的造山后花岗质岩石。     

江西宜丰同安花岗细晶岩年代学及其成因研究

燕山期甘坊复式岩体是宜丰锂铌钽稀有金属矿田重要的赋矿岩体,细晶岩作为甘坊岩体晚阶段岩浆演化的产物,与区内细晶岩型稀有金属成矿作用关系密切,但前人对该类岩石及其成矿作用特征研究较薄弱。本文以甘坊岩体南侧同安矿区内的花岗细晶岩为研究对象,对其展开系统的岩相学、锡石U-Pb年代学和全岩地球化学分析。锡石U-Pb定年结果表明,同安花岗细晶岩形成时代为138.3 Ma。全岩地球化学分析结果显示,该类岩石具高磷铝、富碱钙、贫镁铁钛的特征,且A/CNK值(1.71～1.88)较高,σ值(1.40～1.72)较低,属于典型的强过铝质、高钾钙碱性岩石。全岩微量及稀土元素成分显示,同安花岗细晶岩具有稀土元素强烈亏损,相对富集Rb、U、Nb、Ta、Pb、P、Hf和明显亏损Ba、Th、Sr、Ti等元素的特征。综上所述,同安花岗细晶岩属高分异的S型花岗岩,来源于地壳浅部变沉积岩物质的部分熔融。在演化过程中,经历过早期高度结晶分异过程和晚期的岩浆-热液相互作用,其中早期的高度结晶分异过程对Li成矿起到了初始富集的作用,而演化晚期的岩浆-热液相互作用才是Li元素高度富集并成矿的关键。     

大别造山带白垩纪花岗岩对太古宙基底的再造: 来自U-Pb年代学、Sr-Nd-Hf同位素的证据

本文对大别造山带大崎山花岗岩进行了系统的野外调查、岩石学、地球化学、锆石U- Pb- Hf和Sr- Nd同位素研究。锆石U- Pb定年结果显示大崎山花岗岩形成于早白垩世,年龄为124~120 Ma。样品具有较高的SiO2(69. 3%~75. 2%)、Al2O3(13. 4%~15. 3%)和全碱(7. 94%~8. 71%)含量,较低的MgO(0. 23%~0. 84%)、TiO2(0. 16%~0. 49%)与TFeO(1. 05%~2. 66%)含量,A/CNK=1. 01~1. 03,显示弱过铝质特征。岩石富集大离子亲石元素(如Rb、K、Pb)、轻稀土元素以及Th、U等,亏损高场强元素(如Nb、Ta、Ti)、重稀土元素以及Sr和Ba,具有明显Eu负异常(δEu=0. 34~0. 52),属于高钾钙碱性的I型花岗岩,这些地球化学特征表明大崎山花岗岩经历了以斜长石、钾长石和磷灰石为主的分离结晶作用。白垩纪锆石εHf(t)值为〖CD*2/3〗32. 9~〖CD*2/3〗15. 2,对应tDM2为3258~2140 Ma,全岩εNd(t)为〖CD*2/3〗22. 5~〖CD*2/3〗15. 8,对应tDM2=2754~2209 Ma,指示岩浆源区主要为古老地壳物质。样品中含有大量的~2. 65 Ga继承锆石,锆石εHf(t)为〖CD*2/3〗7. 3~3. 6,显示与贾庙地区2. 65~2. 63 Ga片麻状花岗岩有良好的亲缘性。大崎山花岗岩可能源自北大别变质带太古宙基底的再造,其源区还存在年轻地壳物质的参与,可能形成于古太平洋板块的俯冲板片在130 Ma后快速后撤的伸展背景。     

西藏当惹雍错吉松环斑花岗岩的发现及地质意义

在1∶25万区域地质调查工作中,于当惹雍错中部的吉松一带发现环斑花岗岩,获同位素K-Ar法年龄45.3Ma,时代为始新世。吉松环斑花岗具特殊的卵状环斑结构,K2O Na2O含量较高,K2O>Na2O;稀土元素含量高,具明显的铕亏损,为造山型环斑花岗岩,形成于青藏高原陆内碰撞造山晚期的后碰撞环境。     

内蒙古中部四子王旗地区晚二叠-早三叠世过铝花岗岩定年及成因

研究区位于华北板块北缘中段,紧邻兴蒙造山带,是研究古生代—中生代地壳增生演化的重要地区。本文对区内三个花岗岩体进行了锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb定年及岩石地球化学研究。结果表明阿玛乌苏花岗闪长岩形成于267±9Ma(MSWD=9.7);布龙二长花岗岩和格尔图白云母正长花岗岩分别侵位于239±4Ma和238±6Ma(MSWD=0.91);而侵入格尔图白云母正长花岗岩的白云母二长花岗岩脉则获得了224±8Ma(MSWD=5.7)的侵位年龄。岩石地球化学特征显示阿玛乌苏花岗闪长岩为岩浆混合成因,暗示大规模岩浆底侵作用的存在;格尔图白云母正长花岗岩具明显的稀土元素"四分组"效应,是分异岩浆与流体作用的结果,可能经历一定程度的地壳混染,非真正意义上的S型花岗岩,属于造山后岩浆热事件,应代表造山的结束。格尔图白云母正长花岗岩及白云母二长花岗岩脉均受到热液流体作用,说明在中三叠世(224～238Ma),区内一直存在有大量的热液流体活动,且热液流体可能富含F和Cl,区内产出的大规模的萤石矿是否为该期流体活动的产物尚需进一步工作。     

新疆贝勒库都克A型花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学及锡成矿

新疆东准噶尔卡拉麦里地区是一个重要的锡成矿带,分布有多种类型花岗岩。贝勒库都克岩体位于锡成矿带中部,由黑云母正长花岗岩和黑云母二长花岗岩组成。本文通过精确的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年获得贝勒库都克含锡黑云母正长花岗岩年龄为283±2Ma,MSWD=0.14(95%置信度),时代属于早二叠世,这与东准噶尔后碰撞深成岩浆活动的范围(330~265Ma)相吻合。岩石地球化学研究表明,贝勒库都克岩体富硅(SiO2=75.25%~76.67%),低铝(Al2O3=11.91%~12.86%),贫镁(MgO=0.02%~0.18%)和钙(CaO=0.39%~0.89%),富碱(Na2O+K2O=8.08%~8.97%),K2O>Na2O,NK/A=0.86~0.95(平均0.92),A/NCK=0.97~1.02,富集Rb、K等大离子亲石元素及Zr、Hf等高场强元素,Ba,Nb,Sr强烈亏损,δEu=0.01~0.11,其FeOt/MgO(12.71~84.51,平均34.55)和10000Ga/A1(2.97~4.20)值大,HFSE元素(Zr+Nb+Ce+Y=191.8×10-6~353.3×10-6)含量高,明显不同于典型的I型和S型花岗岩,基本属于典型的铝质A型花岗岩。年代学和地球化学综合研究表明,贝勒库都克铝质A型花岗岩是壳幔混合成因,是准噶尔地区后碰撞幔源岩浆底侵作用导致大陆地壳垂向生长过程的记录者。贝勒库都克铝质A型花岗岩Sn的含量高(6.0×10-6~19.5×10-6,个别为80.0×10-6),铝质A型花岗岩是成矿热液的直接母体,而富Sn的流体相最终形成了贝勒库都克锡矿床,锡矿与铝质A型花岗岩是同期地质事件的产物。     

中祁连东段化隆群中斜长角闪岩地球化学特征及构造意义

中祁连东段化隆群中斜长角闪岩岩相学特征及主、微量元素地球化学分析结果显示,其原岩为碱性玄武岩。斜长角闪岩表现出轻稀土元素富集、Nb-Ta不亏损,与典型洋岛玄武岩(OIB)的微量元素分布模式和特征元素比值(Nb/La=1.24～1.48,Th/Ta=1.19～1.40)类似,但与典型OIB相对亏损高场强元素(如Th、Nb)不同,且在大地构造环境判别图上落入板内大陆玄武岩区,反映了化隆群斜长角闪岩原岩来源于软流圈地幔交代大陆岩石圈地幔熔融源区,为Rodinia超大陆在新元古代汇聚过程中局部裂解或Rodinia大陆整体上汇聚未完成局部地区就开始裂解的产物。
