High‐precision Dating and Geological Significance of Chang 7 Tuff Zircon of the Triassic Yanchang Formation,Ordos Basin in Central China

The Ordos Basin, as the second largest petroliferous basin of China, contains abundant oil and gas resources, oil shale, and sandstone-type uranium mineral resources. Chang 7 shale is not only the major source rock of the Mesozoic petroliferous system of the Basin, but is also crucial in determining the space-time distribution relationship of the shale section for the effective exploration and development of the Basin's oil and gas resources. To obtain a highly precise age of the shale development section, we collected tuff samples from the top and bottom profile of the Chang 7 Member, Yishi Village, Yaoqu Town, Tongchuan District, on the southern margin of the Ordos Basin and performed high-precision chemical abrasion(CA)–isotope dilution(ID)–thermal ionization mass spectrometry(TIMS) zircon U-Pb dating on the basis of extensive laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(LA-ICP-MS) zircon U-Pb dating data. Our results show the precise ages of the top and bottom zircon in the Chang 7 shale to be 241.06±0.12 Ma and 241.558±0.093 Ma, respectively. We first obtained Chang 7 age data with Grade 0.1-Ma precision and then determined the age of the shale development in the Chang 7 Member to be the early-Middle Triassic Ladinian. This result is supported by paleontological evidence. The deposition duration of the Chang 7 shale is 0.5 Ma with an average deposition rate of the shale section being 5.3 cm/ka. Our research results provide time scale and basic data for further investigation of the basin–mountain coupling relation of the shale section, the sedimentary environment and volcanic ash and organic-matter-rich shale development relation, and the organism break-out and organic-matter enrichment mechanism.     

Final Closure Time of the Paleo‐Asian Ocean: Implication from the Provenance Transformation from the Yangjiagou Formation to Lujiatun Formation in the Jiutai Area,NE China

The Jiutai area is tectonically situated at the eastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt(CAOB) and is close to the North China Craton(NCC) to the south, serving as an ideal place to investigations of the closure of the PaleoAsian Ocean(PAO). Sandstone samples collected from the Yangjiagou Formation and the Lujiatun Formation in this area have been studied in detail in terms of petrology, geochronology and geochemistry. The maximum depositional time of the Yangjiagou and Lujiatun formations has been constrained to early Middle Triassic(ca. 245 Ma) and middle Late Triassic(ca. 219 Ma), respectively. The Yangjiagou Formation, with a major provenance of dissected island arcs, is dominantly composed of Phanerozoic sediments from Northeastern China(NE China) massifs. The Lujiatun Formation, with major sediments from active continental margins, has a relatively larger proportion of Precambrian sediments, in which the ～1.85 Ga and ～2.5 Ga sediments are typical of the crystalline basements of the NCC and NE China massifs, which were uplifted and eroded during the closure of the PAO. Besides, both formations show the enrichment in LREEs and the depletion in HREEs, the common Eu negative anomalies, and trace element contents similar to that of the upper continental crust. Based on the provenance analysis of these two formations, the final closure time of the PAO in this area is constrained as from the early Middle Triassic(ca. 245 Ma) to the middle Late Triassic(ca. 219 Ma).     

粤北大宝山志留纪次英安斑岩年代学、地球化学特征及其地质意义

粤北大宝山Cu-Mo-W-Pb-Zn多金属矿床位于钦杭矽卡岩型Cu-Mo成矿带南部。对于该矿床成因目前存在志留纪海底喷流沉积成因和燕山期斑岩矽卡岩成因2种争议。文章以大宝山次英安斑岩为研究对象,通过矿区填图和钻孔编录,查明次英安斑岩与矿体矿化的空间关系;通过年代学、岩石地球化学研究,提示成岩成矿时代与背景;结合区域资料探讨次英安斑岩与金属成矿关系。野外地质填图提示,层状铜矿体赋存在志留系东岗岭下亚组碳酸盐岩中,但存在透闪石化、绿泥石化等与斑岩型矽卡岩型岩体有关蚀变,而且周围发育侏罗纪花岗闪长斑岩;采用LAICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素精确定年方法,获得次英安斑岩年龄为(434.3±1.0)Ma(DB009)、(431.50±0.12)Ma(DB022)和(417.00±0.87)Ma(DB031)。岩石地球化学数据显示,次英安斑岩为高钾钙碱性系列岩石,具有富集Hf同位素特征和古老模式年龄,指示岩石成因主要源于古老地壳重熔,这种重熔有可能伴生有钨、锡、铌、铊等矿化,但不会产生海底喷流沉积型矿床。结合辉钼矿Re-Os等时线成矿年龄(166.0±3.0)Ma,笔者认为大宝山矿床成矿主要与侏罗纪花岗质岩浆侵位密切相关,与志留纪次火山岩无关。     

北秦岭双龙-夏馆地区大面积榴闪岩的发现及锆石U-Pb年代学研究

通过详细的野外地质调查,在北秦岭双龙-夏馆地区精确圈定出大面积榴闪岩,榴闪岩常以似层状、条带状、豆荚状和透镜状产于秦岭岩群郭庄岩组混合片麻岩内,空间上可划分三个带:南带与松树沟一带的麻粒岩构成一个较宽的高压-超高压变质带,北带则与官坡-双槐树一带的榴辉岩构成一线,而中带向西可能延伸至丹凤大寺沟一带。区内榴闪岩主体受秦岭岩群郭庄岩组的展布形态控制,呈面状遍布于整个郭庄岩组内,而非局限于某一侧或两侧,暗示秦岭岩群可能整体卷入早古生代的俯冲和碰撞作用。野外宏观特征、岩相学及锆石U-Pb年代学研究表明榴闪岩原岩为辉长岩,成岩年龄为654.1±5.6Ma、656.1±6.7Ma,获得峰期高压麻粒岩相变质年龄为472.9±6.0Ma、485.0±33.0Ma,其后分别在455.4±9.0Ma、416.7±1.9Ma和401.1±6.2Ma遭受了多期次退变作用的叠加。结合区域研究成果,初步认为北秦岭高压-超高压基性岩石的原岩至少存在于新元古代中期和晚期,其成岩时代分别与扬子地块北缘新元古代中、晚期的镁铁-超镁铁质岩床群一致,并具有相似的地球化学特征,而两者是否为同一大地构造背景下的同期侵位的产物,尚待进一步研究。

冀北赤城二堡子片麻状角闪二长岩的锆石SIMS U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

运用岩相学研究理论和元素地球化学研究理论,针对冀北赤城二堡子片麻状角闪二长岩,进行岩相学(4件样品)和地球化学分析(4件样品),结果表明:角闪二长岩的矿物成分为斜长石(30%~35%)、碱性长石(25%~30%)、角闪石(15%~20%)、石英(10%~15%)和黑云母(5%~10%)等。岩石中w(SiO2)介于60.16%~62.16%之间,w(K2O+Na2O)为8.56%~8.82%,稀土总量较高(ΣREE为246.30×10-6~317.76×10-6),(La/Yb)N值为28.18~42.79,具有轻稀土富集、重稀土亏损的分配模式,Eu异常(Eu/Eu*值为0.90~1.03)及Ce异常(Ce/Ce*值为0.91~0.98)均不明显,富集大离子亲石元素(如Ba,Rb,Sr和Th等)及轻稀土元素(如La,Ce和Nd等),亏损高场强元素(如Nb,Ta,Zr和Hf等)。角闪二长岩的锆石SIMS U-Pb年龄为243.1Ma±1.8 Ma,锆石的Th/U比值为0.709~1.258,表明其形成于三叠纪,应该是中生代印支期岩浆作用的产物,这是赤城地区确定的第二个印支期中酸性侵入岩体,其形成可能与赤城-崇礼断裂带在印支期重新活动有关。赤城印支期角闪二长岩体的确定表明赤城、崇礼地区存在印支期(~239Ma^243Ma)岩浆-变质-构造热事件,这对于冀北大地构造演化特征的确定具有重要的指示意义。     

西南天山柯坪地区萨尔干基性岩脉U-Pb年代学及地球化学特征

柯坪地区发育一套沿走滑断层侵位的萨尔干基性岩脉,其产出于西南天山造山带与塔里木克拉通的接触部位,具有重要的意义。文章通过对萨尔干基性岩脉样品进行锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学、岩石地球化学分析,探讨西南天山中新生代陆内造山作用过程。结果表明,萨尔干基性岩脉的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为（49.14±0.8） Ma,表明该套岩石形成于始新世。地球化学表明该套岩石形成于与青藏高原碰撞远程效应相关的构造背景。     

山东青岛灵山岛流纹岩岩石成因及构造环境新认识

文章对灵山岛上的两件流纹岩样品进行了系统的锆石U-Pb测试,获得加权平均年龄分别为123.1±1.9 Ma和121.4± 1.4 Ma,两个年龄在误差范围内一致,代表了灵山岛流纹岩的成岩年龄。地球化学组成上,灵山岛流纹岩具有高硅、高碱 和低磷、低Mg#、低钛和低钙的特征,富集Rb、Th和K等大离子亲石元素以及轻稀土元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti和P等高场强 元素。岩石组合和地球化学特征以及低的全岩锆饱和温度综合表明,灵山岛流纹岩属于高分异的I型流纹岩,而非伸展环 境下形成的A型流纹岩,属于苏鲁造山带后碰撞岩浆活动的产物。流纹岩的锆石εHf(t)值变化范围较小（-27.2~-32.3）,二阶 段模式年龄tDM2主要为新太古代—中太古代（2662~3167 Ma）,表明流纹岩是古老地壳物质重熔的产物。灵山岛流纹岩中新 元古代继承锆石的发现暗示其源于扬子古老陆壳（中地壳） 的部分熔融。综合结果表明：早白垩世时,华北克拉通破坏是 引起扬子壳源物质发生大规模（减压） 部分熔融的内在因素,岩石圈破坏形成的区域性伸展构造为流纹岩的最终上升和就 位提供了空间。     

冈底斯中段厅宫地区林子宗火山岩锆石U-Pb年龄和地球化学特征

林子宗火山岩事件是印度-亚洲大陆主碰撞过程的火山作用响应,对冈底斯带的构造演化具有重要意义。在冈底斯中段厅宫地区通过系统的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素测年,获得林子宗群典中组底部、年波组上部和帕那组顶部的火山岩锆石U-Pb年龄分别为(66.4±0.35)Ma、(53.6±1.5)Ma和(45±0.6)Ma。对林子宗火山岩的岩石地球化学分析表明,该火山岩具弧火山岩特征,早期表现出陆缘弧火山岩的特点,至中期年波旋回钾玄岩出现,标志着陆内岩浆作用的开始,到晚期帕那旋回则显示出陆壳重熔和地壳加厚的特征,记录了新特提斯洋消减俯冲到陆陆碰撞的地质信息。
