Two petrologically distinct alkali feldspar syenite bodies （AFS-1 and AFS-2） from Chhotaudepur area, Deccan Large Igneous Province are reported in the present work. AFS-1 is characterized by hypidio-morphic texture and consists of feldspar （Or55Ab43 to Or25Ab71）, ferro-pargasite/ferro-pargasite horn-blende, hastingsite, pyroxene （Wo47, En5, Fs46）, magnetite and biotite. AFS-2 exhibits panidiomorphic texture with euhedral pyroxene （Wo47-50, En22-39, Fs12e31） set in a groundmass matrix of alkali feldspar （Or99Ab0.77 to Or1.33Ab98）, titanite and magnetite. In comparison to AFS-1, higher elemental concentra-tions of Ba, Sr and PREE are observed in AFS-2. The average peralkaline index of the alkali feldspar syenites is w1 indicating their alkaline nature. Variation discrimination diagrams involving major and trace elements and their ratios demonstrate that these alkali feldspar syenites have a shoshonite affinity but emplaced in a within-plate and rifting environment. No evidence of crustal contamination is perceptible in the multi-element primitive mantle normalized diagram as well as in terms of trace elemental ratios. The enrichment of incompatible elements in the alkali feldspar syenites suggests the involvement of mantle metasomatism in their genesis.     

Geochemical characteristics and petrogenesis of the Dashipo-Heishantuo batholith in Beijing and its geological significanceEI北大核心CSCD

The early Jurassic Dashipo-Heishantuo batholith in Beijing, which consists of the Dashipo hornblende-biotite syenite and Heishantuo granite, exposed in the western Yanshan orogenic belt, eastern North China Craton. The Dashipo syenite is magnesian potassic intermediate rock enriched in large ion lithophile elements such as Rb, Ba, Sr, Pb and LREE, and relatively depleted in high field strength elements such as Nb, Ta, U, Th, Zr, Hf as well as P and Ti, with εNd(t) values from -12.1 to -12.2 and ISr values of 0.70506-0.70464. The Heishantuo granite is magnesian peraluminous high K calc-alkaline, with an enrichment of large ion lithophile elements and radioactive elements such as Rb, Ba, Th, U and Pb, and a depletion of HREE and high field strength elements such as Nb, Ta, Zr and Hf as well as Sr, P and Ti, with εNd(t) values from -15.5 to -18.0 and ISr values of 0.70516-0.70593. The magma of the Dashipo syenite is produced by fractional crystallization of mantle-derived K-rich mafic magma under high pressure. The partial melting of the lower crust, which was heated and metasomatised by the mantle-derived magma, produced granitic magma that intruded into the unconsolidated Dashipo syenite to form the concentric batholith. The petrology and geochemistry of the Dashipo hornblende-biotite syenite indicate that the water weakening was important for the lithospheric destruction within the interior part of the North China Craton. Meanwhile, the partial melting related to the double-diffusion of energy and chemical composition between mantle-derived magma and crustal rocks was an important mechanism for the Mesozoic calc-alkaline felsic magmatism occurred in the interior of the North China Craton. ©, 2015, Science Press.

湖北竹溪蔓荆沟碱性正长岩地球化学特征及其构造环境分析

在南秦岭造山带中发现的竹溪蔓荆沟碱性正长岩,呈透镜状侵入于辉绿岩体内,个别呈独立岩体侵入于早古生代地层中。单个正长岩体规模较小。通过对其进行岩相学及岩石地球化学特征研究,表明其为全碱(Na_2O~+K_2O)含量较高的钾质碱性正长岩;岩石中Mg~#值较低,明显低于原始岩浆Mg~#值,说明其为原始岩浆经历较高程度演化的产物;岩体中稀土元素总量ΣREE较高,轻稀土元素LREE富集明显,重稀土元素HREE亏损;通过微量元素构造环境判别分析认为,研究区正长岩形成于大陆裂谷环境,且形成于大陆裂谷早期阶段,其形成时代为早志留世。

Cooling history of the Puttetti alkali syenite pluton, southern India

The Puttetti alkali syenite pluton in southern India belongs to the suite of felsic magmatic intrusives emplaced during the Late Neoprotrozoic-Cambrian time during the final phase of amalgamation of the Gondwana supercontinent. In this study, we evaluate the cooling history of this pluton based on various isotopic systems. We present whole-rock Pb-Pb data on the syenite which yields an isochron age of 508±25Ma. Three phlogopite separates from the syenite pluton give K-Ar ages of 454.0±9.0, 448.5±8.9 and 445.6±8.8 Ma indicating cooling age at temperatures of 415°C. U-Pb analyses of zircons from this syenite yielded an age of 572±2 Ma in a previous study. With U-Pb closure temperatures >800 o C, this age probably indicates the timing of emplacement of the Puttetti pluton. Collectively, we estimate from the isotopic age data and respective closure temperatures that the syenite body cooled at about 3.2 o C/Ma from about 800 o C to about 415 o C. The markedly low cooling rate of the syenite pluton, absence of chilled margin effects, and common occurrence of pyroxene, feldspar, phlogopite and zircons megacrysts in the rock indicate that the host granulites were at high temperatures during the emplacement of the syenite magma. The cooling history of Puttetti syenite estimated in this study is closely comparable with the 3–4 o C/Ma cooling rate estimated for a granite pluton in a previous study from Madagascar. Our study suggests protracted cooling rates for the late Pan-African intrusives emplaced within the Gondwana crust, with a long residence history in a hot crust bore they were exhumed to shallower levels.     

Emplacement kinematics of nepheline syenites from the Terrane Boundary Shear Zone of the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt,west of Khariar,NW Orissa: Evidence from meso- and microstructures

Nepheline syenite plutons emplaced within the Terrane Boundary Shear Zone of the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt west of Khariar in northwestern Orissa are marked by a well-developed magmatic fabric including magmatic foliation, mineral lineations, folds and S-C fabrics. The minerals in the plutons, namely microcline, orthoclase, albite, nepheline, hornblende, biotite and aegirine show, by and large, well-developed crystal faces and lack undulose extinction and dynamic recrystallization, suggesting a magmatic origin. The magmatic fabric of the plutons is concordant with a solid-state strain fabric of the surrounding mylonites that developed due to noncoaxial strain along the Terrane Boundary Shear Zone during thrusting of the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt over the Bastar Craton. However, a small fraction of the minerals, more commonly from the periphery of the plutons, is overprinted by a solid state strain fabric similar to that of the host rock. This fabric is manifested by discrete shear fractures, along which the feldspars are deformed into ribbons, have undergone dynamic recrystallization and show undulose extinction and myrmekitic growth. The shear fractures and the magmatic foliations are mutually parallel to the C-fabric of the host mylonites. Coexistence of concordant solid state strain fabric and magmatic fabric has been interpreted as a transitional feature from magmatic state to subsolidus deformation of the plutons, while the nepheline syenite magma was solidifying from a crystal-melt mush state under a noncoaxial strain. This suggests the emplacement of the plutons synkinematic to thrusting along the Terrane Boundary Shear Zone. The isotopic data by earlier workers suggest emplacement of nepheline syenite at 1500 +3/−4Ma, lending support for thrusting of the mobile belt over the craton around that time.     

广东从化石岭方钠石正长岩特征及其起源

广东省从化市石岭方钠石正长岩是南岭地区已知惟一的早白垩世硅酸不饱和碱性岩。岩石由方钠石、霞石、钙-钠角闪石、霓石-普通辉石、铁黑云母和条纹长石组成,不含独立相斜长石,是一种超溶线碱性正长岩,侵入于佛冈黑云母花岗岩中(γ_5~(2(3))),侵位年龄为144.9±5.7Ma(Rb-Sr矿物-全岩等时线)。岩石富含大离子亲石元素Rb,高场强元素REE、Nb、Ta、Zr、U、Th和挥发组分Cl(4355×10~(-6)～6525×10~(-6))、F(2415×10~(-6)～3525×10~(-6))等。在原始地幔标准化微量元素蛛网图上显示Sr、Ba、P、Ti强烈亏损,而Nb、Ta、Zr、Ce强烈富集的特征,具有A型岩套中A_1亚型岩石的微量元素特征。在(Na_2O+K_2O)-SiO_2,(FeO~*/MgO)-SiO_2,(Zr+Nb+Ce+Y)-FeO~*/MgO和(Zr+Nb+Ce+Y)-(Na_2O+K_2O)/CaO等图解中均落入A型岩套分布区。在Y/Nb-Yb/Ta,Y/Nb-Ce/Nb,Nb-Y-Ce和Nb-Y-3Ga图解中均落入A_1亚型区域,并具有OIB亲缘性,表明是深部幔源成因。在锶、钕同位素成分方面,具有低的I_(Sr)值(0.7060±0.0015)和接近于零的ε_(Nd)(t)值(-0.15～-0.20),低的钕模式年龄(T_(2DM)=0.96Ga),表明岩浆可能起源于上地幔(具全硅酸盐地球BSE端元成分)。说明在早白垩世,南岭地区应力作用已转入拉张为主,大规模拉张作用,造成岩石圈减薄,有利于碱性岩
