安徽滁县琅琊山一带燕山期岩浆岩成因及区域找矿方向

滁县琅琊山铜矿床是长江中下游成矿带北东段滁县-庐江铜金成矿带的一部分,为安徽东部目前发现规模最大的铜及伴生金矿床。与成矿关系密切的滁县岩体,长期以来前人鲜有系统的地球化学研究,本文在野外地质调查的基础上,系统采集了一套滁县岩体样品,发现其地球化学特征与典型的埃达克岩基本一致:具有SiO2>56%,Al2O3≥15%,富Sr、Ba和Cr、Ni,具有高的Sr/Y和(La/Yb)N值,但Y和Yb含量低,无明显Eu异常,另外岩石具有较高的MgO、Mg#及Sr/La值,显示海水蚀变MORB相似的地球化学特征。分析认为,该区燕山期岩浆岩为洋壳俯冲产物,属比较典型的和成矿有关的埃达克岩,伴随着该期侵入岩的上侵,富含Cu、Au的成矿物质随着温度、压力或者氧逸度的降低,在合适的部位富集成矿。对比分析了上腰铺岩体的地球化学特征,认为它和滁县岩体特征基本一致,应该有着相似的成岩成矿背景。同时在滁县岩体西南段发现一条含微细粒黄铁矿碎裂状白云岩质硅化带,在上腰铺岩体周边发现一条多金属矿化硅质脉,并对琅琊山含铜矿化矽卡岩及上述白云岩质硅化带和多金属矿化硅质脉进行了地质分析和痕量元素测试,认为它们与燕山期侵入岩有着密切的关系,上腰铺岩体周边可以作为下步铜及伴生金矿床勘查的新的远景地区,同时指出该区找矿不能只盯着矽卡岩型铜金矿而忽视多金属矿化硅质脉新类型矿的寻找。     

鲁西早白垩世基性侵入岩的锆石Hf同位素组成变化及其成因

鲁西北部地区的淄博和临朐辉长闪长岩的锆石原位U-Pb定年分析显示,它们分别形成于128±2Ma和132±1Ma,与鲁西早白垩世大规模岩浆活动时间一致,是华北克拉通岩石圈减薄过程的岩浆活动产物。与鲁西北部同时期的济南、邹平辉长岩相比,淄博和临朐辉长闪长岩的锆石εHf(t)值(分别为-5.1～-2.4和-2.4～+3.2)明显较高,并具有相对年轻的亏损地幔Hf模式年龄TDM(分别为876～984Ma和639～867Ma),对应于相对高的全岩εNd(t)值,指示其岩浆源区有更大比例的软流圈地幔物质贡献。鲁西北部地区的早白垩世基性侵入岩的岩浆源区以华北克拉通内部的古老富集岩石圈地幔为主,从华北克拉通内部往郯庐断裂带锆石εHf(t)值显示出升高趋势,表明软流圈地幔物质的参与比例增大。郯庐断裂带是导致鲁西地区早白垩世基性岩浆活动时空不均一性的重要岩石圈薄弱带。     

内蒙古长山壕金矿区花岗岩同位素年代学研究及地质意义

长山壕金矿床是近年来在内蒙古中西段找到的一特大型金矿床。尽管金矿化在中元古界白云鄂博群变质沉积岩内呈层状、似层状和透镜状产出,但是与各类花岗岩类侵入岩具有密切空间分布关系。本次研究采用LA-ICP-MS方法分别对有关花岗岩类侵入岩进行了系统年代学研究,花岗斑岩和二长花岗斑岩样品的锆石U-Pb年龄值分别为290.9±2.8Ma (MSWD=1.4)和287.5±1.9Ma (MSWD=2.4);2件黑云母花岗岩样品的年龄值分别为267.9±1.2Ma (MSWD=0.95)和274.0±2.3Ma (MSWD=1.4)。根据上述同位素年龄数据,同时结合金矿区野外地质调查和岩(矿)相学证据,可以认为,长山壕金矿区花岗斑岩和二长花岗斑岩及相关金矿床的形成时间为早二叠世早期,并且遭受到早二叠世晚期-中二叠世早期构造-岩浆活动的叠加改造,矿区切穿含金矿脉黑云母花岗岩体的存在就是很好的例证。强烈的中酸性岩浆作用为金矿床的形成提供了动力、热力和物质来源,初步研究结果表明,长山壕金矿床是海西期构造-岩浆作用及相关流体活动的产物,属于与侵入岩有关的中温热液脉型金矿床。     

辽宁青城子铅锌多金属矿田晚三叠世岩浆岩年代学、地球化学及地质意义

辽宁青城子铅锌矿田产出在辽东裂谷凹陷带,是中国北方重要的铅锌金银多金属矿田。研究表明,矿区内发育的以双顶沟黑云母二长花岗岩和新岭花岗岩为代表的晚三叠世花岗质岩浆事件,应与本区的矿化作用密切相关。LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示双顶沟岩体侵位时间为224.2±1.2Ma。双顶沟岩体岩石化学组成呈现 SiO₂ 69.07%~71.31%,K₂O 3.53%~5.22%, Na₂O 3.87%~4.14%,属于钙碱性岩石系列。Al₂O₃为12.46%~14.48%,A/CNK<1,具有准铝质特征。微量元素数据显示稀土总量较高,轻重稀土元素之间强烈分馏, , Eu负异常不明显(δEu=0.68~0.97)。富集大离子亲石元素Rb、Th、K、Pb等,而亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti等。具有高Sr,Ba含量,低的Y,Yb含量特征,属于具有类似埃达克质亲和性的I型花岗岩,具有高Nb/Ta(18.4~21.2),上述岩石地球化学特征,表明其岩浆源区残留固相矿物组合中包含可观的石榴子石和金红石,可能起源于加厚下地壳的部分熔融,并可能存在与幔源基性岩浆混合作用。推测扬子和华北板块深俯冲过程中板片断离可能是诱发与成矿有关岩浆的地球动力学原因。     

Petrogenesis of early Silurian intrusions in the Sanchakou area of Eastern Tianshan,Northwest China,and tectonic implications: geochronological,geochemical, and Hf isotopic evidence

ABSTRACT

Palaeozoic intrusions in Eastern Tianshan are important for understanding the evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The Sanchakou intrusions situated in Eastern Tianshan (southern CAOB), are mainly quartz diorite and granodiorite. A comprehensive study of zircon U–Pb ages, zircon trace elements, whole-rock geochemistry, and Lu–Hf isotopes were carried out for the Sanchakou intrusive rocks. LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb dating yielded crystallization ages of 439.7 ± 2.5 Ma (MSWD = 0.63, n = 21) for the quartz diorite, and 430.9 ± 2.5 Ma (MSWD = 0.21, n = 21) and 425.5 ± 2.7 Ma (MSWD = 0.04; n = 20) for the granodiorites. These data, in combination with other Silurian ages reported for the intrusive suites from Eastern Tianshan, indicate an early Palaeozoic magmatic event in the orogen. In situ zircon Hf isotope data for the Sanchakou quartz diorite shows ε_Hf(t) values of +11.2 to +19.6, and the two granodioritic samples exhibit similar ε_Hf(t) values from +13.0 to +19.5. The Sanchakou plutons show metaluminous to weakly peraluminous, arc-type geochemical and low-K tholeiite affinities, and display trace element patterns characterized by enrichment in K, Ba, Sr, and Sm, and depletion in Nb, Ta, Pb, and Ti. The geochemical and isotopic signatures indicate that the Sanchakou dioritic and granodioritic magmas were sourced from a subducted oceanic slab, and subsequently underwent some interaction with peridotite in the mantle wedge. Combined with the regional geological history, we suggest the Sanchakou intrusions formed due to the northward subduction of the Palaeo-Tianshan Ocean beneath the Dananhu–Tousuquan arc during early Silurian time.     

Complex geometry of the Cenozoic magma plumbing system in the central Sahara,NW Africa

Topographic uplifts in the central Sahara occur in the Hoggar-Aïr and Tibesti-Gharyan swells that consist of Precambrian rocks overlain by Cenozoic volcanic rocks. The swells and associated Cenozoic volcanism have been related either to mantle plumes or to asthenospheric upwelling and to partial melting due to rift-related delamination along pre-existing Pan-African mega-shears during the collision between Africa and Europe. The Cenozoic volcanic rocks in the Hoggar generally range from Oligocene tholeiitic/transitional plateau basalts, which occur in the centre of the dome, to Neogene alkali basalts characterized by a decrease in their degree of silica undersaturation and an increase in their La/Yb ratios. The alkali basaltic rocks occur mainly along the margins of the dome and typically have less radiogenic Nd and Sr isotopic ratios than the tholeiitic/transitional basalts. The geochemistry of the most primitive basaltic rocks resembles oceanic island basalt (OIB) tholeiitic – in particular high-U/Pb mantle (HIMU)-type – and is also similar to those of the Circum-Mediterranean Anorogenic Cenozoic Igneous (CiMACI) province. These characteristics are consistent with, but do not require, a mantle plume origin. Geophysical data suggest a combination of the two mechanisms resulting in a complex plumbing system consisting of (a) at depths of 250–200 km, an upper mantle plume (presently under the Aïr massif); (b) between 200 and 150 km, approximately 700 km northeastward deflection of plume-derived magma by drag at the base of the African Plate and by mantle convection; (c) at approximately 150 km, the magma continues upwards to the surface in the Tibesti swell; (d) at approximately 100 km depth, part of the magma is diverted into a low S-wave velocity corridor under the Sahara Basin; and (e) at approximately 80 km depth, the corridor is tapped by Cenozoic volcanism in the Hoggar and Aïr massifs that flowed southwards along reactivated Precambrian faults.     

Geochronologic-petrochemical studies of the Hongshishan mafic–ultramafic intrusion,Beishan area,Xinjiang (NW China): petrogenesis and tectonic implications

The Hongshishan mafic–ultramafic intrusion (SIMS zircon U–Pb age 286.4 ± 2.8 Ma) consists of dunite, clinopyroxene peridotite, troctolite, and gabbro. Major elements display systematic correlations. Trace elements have identical distribution patterns, including flat rare-earth element (REE) patterns with positive Eu anomalies and enrichments in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) but depletions in Nb and Ta, indicating fractional crystallization as a key factor in magmatic evolution. Petrologic and geochemical variations in drill core samples demonstrate that minor assimilation and progressive magma injections were closely associated with Ni–Cu mineralization. Mass balance estimates and Sr–Nd isotopes reveal that the Hongshishan parental magmas were high-Mg and low-Ti tholeiitic basalts and were derived from a lithospheric mantle source that had been modified by subducted slab metasomatism before partial melting.

Southward subduction of the Palaeo-Tianshan–Junggar Ocean is further constrained by a compilation of inferred, subduction-induced modifications of mantle sources in mafic–ultramafic intrusions distributed in the eastern Tianshan–Beishan area. Integrating the regional positive ?_Nd(t) granites, high-Mg and low-Ti basaltic magmas (mafic–ultramafic intrusions), and slightly later high-Ti basalts in NW China suggests that their petrogenesis could be attributed to Permian mantle plume activities.     

Timing of granitic magma mixing in the southeastern Gyeongsang Basin,Korea: SHRIMP-RG zircon data

Late Cretaceous calc-alkaline granites in the Gyeongsang Basin evolved through the mixing of mafic and felsic magmas. The host granites contain numerous mafic magmatic/microgranular enclaves of various shapes and sizes. New SHRIMP-RG zircon U–Pb ages of both granite and mafic magmatic/microgranular enclaves are 75.0?±?0.5 Ma and 74.9?±?0.6 Ma, respectively, suggesting that they crystallized contemporaneously after magma mixing. The time of injection of mafic melt into the felsic magma chamber can be recognized as approximately 75 Ma by field relations, petrographic features, geochemical evolution, and SHRIMP-RG zircon dating. This Late Cretaceous magma mixing event in the Korean Peninsula was probably related to the onset of subduction of the Izanagi (Kula)–Pacific ridge.     

Geochemical and isotopic constraints on the age and origin of mafic dikes from eastern Shandong Province,eastern North China Craton

Post-orogenic mafic dikes are widespread across eastern Shandong Province, North China Craton, eastern China. We here report new U–Pb zircon ages and bulk-rock geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic data for representative samples of these rocks. LA-ICP-MS U–Pb zircon analysis of two mafic dike samples yields consistent ages of 118.7 ± 0.25 million years and 122.4 ± 0.21 million years. These Mesozoic mafic dikes are characterized by high (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) _i ranging from 0.7082 to 0.7087, low ?_Nd(t) values from??17.0 to??17.5, ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb from 17.14 to 17.18, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb from 15.44 to 15.55, and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb from 37.47 to 38.20. Our results suggest that the parental magmas of these dikes were derived from an ancient, enriched lithospheric mantle source that was metasomatized by foundered lower crustal eclogitic materials prior to magma generation. The mafic dikes underwent minor fractionation during ascent and negligible crustal contamination. Combined with previous studies, these findings provide additional evidence that intense lithospheric thinning beneath eastern Shandong occurred at ～120 Ma, and that this condition was caused by the removal/foundering of the lithospheric mantle and lower crust.     

Petrochemistry of Mesozoic mafic intrusions related to the Paraná Magmatic Province,Uruguay

The Cuaró Formation is part of the sequence of Mesozoic mafic intrusions related to the Early Cretaceous break-up of Gondwana and represents the southernmost occurrences within the Paraná Magmatic Province in Uruguay. We present field data, petrography and lithogeochemical results regarding these dike swarms and sills that crop out in the southern extreme of the Paraná Basin. Dolerites and sills mainly exhibit glomeroporphyritic textures; the phenocrysts consist of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, relicts of olivine and titaniferous magnetite. Bulk-rock geochemical analyses allowed their classification as low-Ti subalkaline tholeiitic basalts and andesitic basalts. Trace element data indicated that the protoliths of these intrusions include the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, as is generally recognized for other Gondwana-related continental flood basalt provinces.
