Pe trology and SHRIMP zircon geochronology of granulites from Vesleknausen,Lützow-Holm Complex,East Antarctica: Neoarchean magmatism and Neoproterozoic high-grade metamorphism

We report new petrological data and geochronological measurements of granulites from Vesleknausen in the highest-grade section of the L＆#252;tzow-Holm Complex, part of the Gondwana-assembling collisional orogen in East Antarctica. The locality is dominated by felsic to intermediate orthogneiss （charnockite and minor biotite gneiss）, mafic orthogneiss, and hornblende-pyroxene granulite, with deformed and undeformed dykes of metagranite and felsic pegmatite. Pseudosection analysis of charnockite in the system NCKFMASHTO, supported by geothermometry of mafic orthogneiss, was used to infer peak metamorphic temperatures of 750e850 ？C, approximately 150 ？C lower than those estimated for met-asedimentary gneisses from Rundv？gshetta, 6 km to the northeast. SHRIMP U-Pb analysis of zircons from feldspar-pyroxene gneiss, which corresponds to a partially molten patch around mafic orthogneiss, yielded a Concordia upper intercept ages of 2507.9 ？ 7.4 Ma, corresponding to the time of formation of the magmatic protolith to the orthogneiss. Partial melting during peak metamorphism probably took place between 591 and 548 Ma, as recorded in rims overgrew around magmatic zircon. Our results suggest that Rundv？gshetta-Vesleknausen-Strandnibba region in southwestern L＆#252;tzow-Holm Bay, where orthogneisses are dominant, consists of a single crustal block, possibly formed by ca. 2.5 Ga arc mag-matism. The Neoarchean magmatic terrane was tectonically mingled with other fragments （such as metasedimentary units in northern L＆#252;tzow-Holm Bay） by subduction/collision events during the as-sembly of Gondwana supercontinent, and subsequently underwent w850 ？C granulite-facies meta-morphosed during Neoproterozoic to Cambrian final collisional event.     

滇西北石鼓岩群新元古代变质基性岩锆石U-Pb定年及地质意义

滇西北石鼓岩群位于羌塘-三江造山系中咱-中甸地块南缘丽江地区石鼓-巨甸一带,石鼓岩群变质岩系中发育的新元古代变质基性岩是Rodinia超大陆裂解的重要构造-岩浆记录。通过对石鼓岩群中的变质基性岩岩石学、地球化学的研究表明,其主要为大洋拉斑玄武岩,具有介于EMORB与OIB之间的地球化学特征,岩浆起源于富集地幔区,是尖晶石地幔橄榄岩部分熔融的产物,并经历了地壳的混染作用。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年表明石鼓岩群变质基性岩形成于新元古代中期(833.9±3.5Ma),时代与扬子陆块西缘大量分布的新元古代岩浆岩一致,其形成可能与该时期的地幔柱活动有关。     

大兴安岭阿龙山地区花岗片麻岩的同位素年龄与超大陆

阿龙山花岗质片麻岩是在阿龙山镇幅1：25万区调过程中从兴华渡口岩群变质杂体中解体出的古花岗质侵入体。阿龙山地区的花岗片麻岩的锆石U-Pb年龄的测定结果表明，其原岩形成时代为1100Ma左右，在565Ma曾受到高温变质作用。两组年龄的获得为大兴安岭地区早期大陆裂解及碰撞造山作用的确定提供了直接证据，这一结果表明额尔古纳微陆块曾经历了格林威尔期和罗丁尼亚超大陆的聚合、裂解和冈瓦纳泛大陆的再造的多次开合作用。     

米仓山坪河新元古代二长花岗岩成因及其地质意义

扬子板块西北缘新元古代岩浆作用成因的研究对于研究Rodinia超大陆在该区的构造演化具有重要意义。本文对扬子板块西北缘米仓山地区二长花岗岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年和同位素、全岩主量和微量元素分析。结果表明二长花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄为742.1±5.9 Ma,属于新元古代花岗岩。岩石具有高Si O_2(76.84%~80.08%),高碱(Na_2O+K_2O=7.64%~8.99%),相对富钾(K_2O/Na_2O=0.91~1.36),低P_2O_5含量等特征,铝饱和指数(A/CNK)介于0.77~0.89之间。岩石具有稀土元素含量较高、相对富集轻稀土元素的特征,具有明显负Eu异常,Eu*=0.05~0.13,Rb、U、Th、K、Pb等元素相对富集,Ba、Nb、Sr、P、Zr、Ti和Eu等元素明显亏损。岩石n(~(87)Sr)/n(~(86)Sr)=0.747067~0.795283,n(~(143)Nd)/n(~(144)Nd)=0.512472~0.512661,ε_(Nd)(t)=+3.6~+5.2,二阶段模式年龄T_(2DM)值介于0.96~1.07Ga之间。综合地球化学、同位素特征及米仓山区域构造资料,我们认为坪河二长花岗岩为高钾钙碱性高分异I型花岗岩,该岩浆起源于新生玄武质下地壳岩石的局部熔融,在上升阶段可能经历了地壳的混染作用,形成于伸展的构造环境中,是新元古代晚期Rodinia超大陆裂解作用的岩浆响应。

Petrogenesis of the diamondiferous Pipe-8 ultramafic intrusion from the Wajrakarur kimberlite field of Southern India and its relation to the worldwide Mesoproterozoic(～1.1 Ga) magmatism of kimberlite and related rocks

Detailed mineralogy,bulk rock major,trace and Sr-Nd isotope compositions,and ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating of the Pipe-8 diamondiferous ultramafic intrusion in the Wajrakarur cluster of southern India,is reported.Based on the presence of Ti-rich phlogopite,high Na/K content in amphibole,Al-and Ti-rich diopside,a titanomagnetite trend in spinel and the presence of Ti-rich schorlomite garnet and carbonates in the groundmass,the Pipe-8 intrusion is here more precisely classified as an ultramafic lamprophyre(i.e.,aillikite).An aillikite affinity of the Pipe-8 intrusion is further supported by the bulk rock major and trace element and Sr-Nd isotope geochemistry.Sr-Nd isotope data are consistent with a common,moderately depleted upper mantle source region for both the Pipe-8 aillikite as well as the Wajrakarur kimberlites of southern India.A phlogopite-rich groundmass ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar plateau age of 1115.8±7.9 Ma(2σ) for the Pipe-8 intrusion falls within a restricted 100 Ma time bracket as defined by the 1053-1155 Ma emplacement ages of kimberlites and related rocks in India.The presence of ultramafic lamprophyres,carbonatites,kimberlites,and olivine lamproites in the Wajrakarur kimberlite field requires low degrees of partial melting of contrasting metasomatic assemblages in a heterogeneous sub-continental lithospheric mantle.The widespread association of kimberlite and other mantle-derived magmatism during the Mesoproterozoic(ca.1.1 Ga) have been interpreted as being part of a single large igneous province comprising of the Kalahari,Australian,West Laurentian and Indian blocks of the Rodinia supercontinent that were in existence during its assembly.In India only kimberlite/lamproite/ultramafic lamprophyre magmatism occurred at this time without the associated large igneous provinces as seen in other parts of Rodinia.This may be because of the separated paleo-latitudinal position of India from Australia during the assembly of Rodinia.It is speculated that the presence of a large plume at or close to 1.1 Ga within the Rodinian supercontinent,with the Indian block located on its periphery,could be the reason for incipient melting of lithospheric mantle and the consequent emplacement of only kimberlites and other ultramafic,volatile rich rocks in India due to comparatively low thermal effects from the distant plume.     

扬子地块西北缘刘家坪地区大滩花岗岩体年代学、地球化学及其构造环境

对扬子地块西北缘后龙门山地区大滩花岗岩体进行了锆石U-Pb年代学和岩石地球化学研究,以便对其形成时代和岩石成因进行约束.研究结果表明,大滩花岗岩体中锆石均发育岩浆韵律环带结构,具有较高的Th/U比值(0.22 ～ 1.57),为岩浆成因锆石.LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年结果表明其形成于806±19Ma(MSWD=0.56),为新元古代晚期.大滩花岗岩体具有高SiO2(74.12％～77.10％)和较高的Al2O3(11.86％ ～ 12.56％)含量,A/CNK在0.95～1.05之间(平均为1.01),属过铝质花岗岩,具有I型花岗岩特征;稀土元素总量(∑REE)为(97.69～ 189.60)×10-6(平均为140.85×10-6),稀土元素配分曲线显示具Eu弱—中等亏损的轻稀土富集型;高场强元素(Th、Nb、Ta、P等)具有明显的负异常,大离子亲石元素(Rb、Sr、Ti等)具有明显的负异常.岩体是以火成岩部分熔融形成的花岗质岩浆上升侵位过程中形成的,是一种典型的壳源成因类型.大滩花岗岩体岩浆起源于下地壳,是新元古代扬子地块西北缘活动大陆边缘俯冲以及弧陆碰撞造山作用导致的地壳增厚下地壳部分熔融的产物,形成于同碰撞(挤压环境)向碰撞后(伸展环境)转化阶段,即后造山期,是Rodinia超大陆初始裂解阶段产物.     

塔里木地块前寒武纪地质研究进展评述

塔里木地块是我国三大主要陆块之一.它是一个具有完整的前寒武纪基底且发育了良好的新元古代盖层沉积的大陆块体.笔者等综合了近十年来中外地质学家对塔里木前寒武系的研究成果,并对这些取得的资料进行系统分析,概括了塔里木前寒武纪构造演化阶段、过程以及塔里木在前寒武纪时期与全球性的超大陆汇聚和裂解事件的沉积、变质、岩浆及构造作用的耦合关系.特别指出,笔者等详细地讨论了含蓝片岩的阿克苏群可能的沉积时代、发生蓝片岩相变质的时间,并结合对新元古代岩浆事件的综合分析,提出塔里木在新元古代早期(900Ma)汇聚到澳大利亚北缘,成为Rodinia超大陆的一部分.在新元古代中—晚期,沿塔里木北缘的俯冲可能一直持续到760Ma.820～760Ma期间,新元古代Rodinia超级地幔柱和板块俯冲共同制约了塔里木北缘的岩浆作用和变质作用.这一模式可能对认识华南地区新元古代复杂的岩浆作用具有启示意义.
