塔里木克拉通基底古隆起构造-热事件及其结构与演化

通过盆地内部锆石U-Pb测年分析表明,塔里木克拉通基底存在2950～ 3100Ma、2100 ～ 2400Ma、1900～2000Ma、1300～1600Ma、900 ～ 950Ma、700～800Ma、540 ～ 560Ma、400～ 500Ma和270～290Ma等9期构造-热事件.中央航磁异常带井下花岗岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄测定发现1908.2±8.6Ma前寒武纪基底,表明盆地内部可能存在古元古代构造-热事件形成的古老花岗岩基底.结合新的地质与地球物理资料综合分析,塔里木盆地前寒武纪具有不同年代、不同类型的基底结构,北部为中-新元古代中浅变质岩基底、中部为古元古代花岗岩基底、南部为新元古代早-中期岩浆岩与变质岩基底、东南部为遭受早志留纪区域变质改造的变质岩基底.井震结合发现塔里木盆地寒武系/前寒武系发育广泛分布的大型不整合,形成塔北与塔南两大前寒武纪基底古隆起,可能与550Ma“泛非运动”相关.塔里木盆地基底古隆起主要经历5期演化,古元古代中期形成克拉通化基底,新元古代早期形成统一的变质结晶基底,寒武纪沉积前两大基底古隆起形成,加里东晚期五大基底古隆起基本定型,海西期以来发生局部调整改造.     

山东半岛高压麻粒岩中花岗质浅色脉体的成因

山东半岛早前寒武纪变质基底部分熔融现象十分发育,常见新生的花岗质浅色脉体呈形态各异的网脉状、细脉状、不规则的透镜状、雾迷状分布于高压基性麻粒岩中。锆石中矿物包体的激光拉曼鉴定、阴极发光图像分析、锆石原位LA-ICP-MSU-Pb定年以及稀土元素、微量元素分析的综合研究结果表明,山东半岛早前寒武纪变质基底在麻粒岩相变质作用的同时伴随着明显的部分熔融作用。花岗质浅色脉体中的锆石具有完好的自形晶形态,矿物包体主要为石英(Qtz)+钾长石(Kfs)+斜长石(Pl)±磷灰石(Ap),与花岗质脉体矿物组成完全一致,相应的阴极发光图像自核部到边部均显示明显的岩浆结晶环带。这些新生锆石U含量变化较大(31×10-6～779×10-6)、Th含量(0.03×10-6～1.3×10-6)和相应的Th/U比值(<0.0081)异常偏低,其稀土元素配分模式具有重稀土HREE相对平坦、中等-强烈的负Eu异常(Eu/Eu*=0.13～0.65)和显著的正Ce异常(Ce/Ce*=11～32)的特点。新生锆石的上述性质与世界典型地区混合岩中深熔锆石的特征十分相似,充分表明研究区花岗质浅色脉体中的锆石为深熔成因。野外及室内系统的岩相学观察发现,花岗质浅色脉体的寄主岩石——高压基性麻粒岩并未显示含水矿物脱水(如角闪石)熔融和长英质矿物部分熔融的证据,而其围岩如孔兹岩系则保存含水矿物(如黑云母)脱水熔融和长英质矿物部分熔融的确凿证据。此外,高压基性麻粒岩中的花岗质浅色脉体集中分布于构造变形相对较强、破碎较明显的部位。由此可见,高压麻粒岩中的花岗质浅色脉体不是寄主岩石深熔作用的产物,而更有可能来源于围岩变质表壳岩(如孔兹岩系)的部分熔融。深熔锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb定年结果表明,四十个相同性质锆石微区记录了十分一致的207Pb/206Pb年龄,集中变化于1870±11Ma至1843±20Ma(2σ)之间,加权平均年龄为1859.6±2.2Ma(MSWD=0.74),应代表研究区早前寒武纪变质基底的深熔时代。该组年龄比研究区变质杂岩峰期高压麻粒岩相变质时代(1900～1866Ma)明显偏新,而与峰后近等温减压中-低压麻粒岩相退变质时代(1855～1830Ma)大致相当,表明研究区深熔作用与碰撞造山带构造"热"抬升减压过程存在密切的成因关系。区域强烈的深熔事件是导致高压麻粒岩相岩石发生明显退变的主要控制因素之一。     

Zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions from the Sin Quyen Formation: the Precambrian crustal evolution of northwest Vietnam

The location of the suture zone between the South China and Indochina blocks in northwest Vietnam has been under debate for decades. Generally, the boundary between these blocks has been placed along (1) the Ailaoshan–Red River zone or (2) the Song Ma zone. The Sin Quyen Formation, lying between these zones, was previously regarded as a Palaeo- and Mesoproterozoic sequence. It comprises its provenance and tectonic affinity. We analysed detrital zircons from two paragneisses and one migmatite of the Sin Quyen Formation employing laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry U–Pb dating techniques. U–Pb ages of these zircons show three main periods of zircon formation: ～2.7–3.0, ～2.2–2.5, and ～1.8 Ga, suggesting that Sin Quyen rocks were mainly derived from Palaeoproterozoic and Archaean basement units. Inasmuch as the South China basement comprises rocks of similar ages, we conclude that the Sin Quyen Formation belongs to that block. Our new data strengthen the view that the suture between the South China and Indochina blocks is located within the Song Ma zone. In addition, zircons with U–Pb ages >3.0 thousand million years represent the oldest minerals reported in northwest Vietnam so far, indicating the existence of Mesoarchaean crustal remnants in this region.     

Spherule textures in the Neoarchaean Wittenoom impact layer,Western Australia: consistency in diversity

The Wittenoom Formation (Hamersley Group, Western Australia) is a well-preserved Neoarchaean unit deposited in a deep shelf to upper slope setting. The upper part contains several laterally persistent marker beds, one of which is rich in well-preserved spherules of former silicate melt showing a diverse suite of internal textures. We quantified the relative abundances of these textures by point counting in spherule-rich samples selected from seven sites and found them to be surprisingly uniform for a lateral distance of?>?350 km. They also appear to be uniform at one site where the layer is thicker and contains multiple zones rich in spherules. Given this homogeneity and by comparison to experimentally produced textures and K/T impact spherules, we infer that: (i) the homogeneously diverse nature of the ejecta is most consistent with an impact origin; (ii) the spherules were partially crystallised at the time they were deposited and therefore classifiable as microkrystites; (iii) the original impact melt was roughly basaltic in composition; (iv) the spherules were generated by a single impact then deposited in multiple pulses; (v) the K/T impact model is not directly applicable to the Wittenoom spherule layer; and (vi) the Wittenoom spherule layer was not formed by the same impact as the Carawine layer.     

国际码头企业的珠江三角洲进入路径与空间网络

长期以来,港口竞争主要发生在不同港口之间,随着港口管制的放松,许多港口陆续引入私营资本,促进了港口竞争的发展变化,并在理论上形成了新的空间模式。珠江三角洲是中国港口建设最早引入外资和码头市场竞争最激烈的地区,也是中国港口管制放松和外向经济最活跃的地区。在阐述国内外研究现状的基础上,以珠江三角洲集装箱港口群为研究对象,分析国际码头企业进入珠江三角洲的时间路径,包括企业结构、企业数量与股权变化、港口数量等,总结其时间进入规律;基于空间视角,刻画国际码头企业的码头网络,重点包括参股港口分布、装卸能力演化、各企业投资差异等,考察国际码头企业的码头网络特征和扩张规律,并从港口建设经营、港口竞争码头化两方面分析国际码头企业进入对珠江三角洲港口发展的影响。研究表明,国际码头企业的进入路径受改革开放及政策的影响较大,目前已在珠三角码头市场中占据主导地位,集中投资大型港口,呈现先投资枢纽港再进入中小型港口的市场模式;国际码头企业的进入加剧了港口内部码头或泊位利益主体分化而形成港口内部竞争,促使港口竞争形成码头化态势,和记黄埔、招商国际、珠江船务等分别形成了规模庞大的码头网络,相互之间形成竞争和合作格局。研究丰富了港口地理学的研究视角,充实了港口研究的理论范畴。

Precambrian mafic magmatism in the Western Dharwar Craton,southern India

Mafic rocks of Western Dharwar Craton (WDC) belong to two greenstone cycles of Sargur Group (3.1–3.3 Ga) and Dharwar Supergroup (2.6–2.8 Ga), belonging to different depositional environments. Proterozoic mafic dyke swarms (2.4, 2.0–2.2 and 1.6 Ga) constitute the third important cycle. Mafic rocks of Sargur Group mainly constitute a komatiitic-tholeiite suite, closely associated with layered basic-ultrabasic complexes. They form linear ultramaficmafic belts, and scattered enclaves associated with orthoquartzite-carbonate-pelite-BIF suite. Since the country rocks of Peninsular Gneiss intrude these rocks and dismember them, stratigraphy of Sargur Group is largely conceptual and its tectonic environment speculative. It is believed that the Sargur tholeiites are not fractionated from komatiites, but might have been generated and evolved from a similar mantle source at shallower depths. The layered basic-ultrabasic complexes are believed to be products of fractionation from tholeiitic parent magma. The Dharwar mafic rocks are essentially a bimodal basalt-rhyolite association that is dominated by Fe-rich and normal tholeiites. Calc-alkaline basalts and andesites are nearly absent, but reference to their presence in literature pertains mainly to carbonated, spilitized and altered tholeiitic suites. Geochemical discrimination diagrams of Dharwar lavas favour island arc settings that include fore-, intra- and back-arcs. The Dharwar mafic rocks are possibly derived by partial melting of a lherzolite mantle source and involved in fractionation of olivine and pyroxene followed by plagioclase. Distinctive differences in the petrography and geochemistry of mafic rocks across regional unconformities between Sargur Group and Dharwar Supergroup provide clinching evidences in favour of distinguishing two greenstone cycles in the craton. This has also negated the earlier preliminary attempts to lump together all mafic volcanics into a single contemporaneous suite, leading to erroneous interpretations. After giving allowances for differences in depositional and tectonic settings, the chemical distinction between Sargur and Dharwar mafic suites throws light on secular variations and crustal evolution. Proterozoic mafic dyke swarms of three major periods (2.4, 2.0–2.2 and 1.6 Ga) occur around Tiptur and Hunsur. The dykes also conform to the regional metamorphic gradient, with greenschist facies in the north and granulite facies in the south, resulting from the tilt of the craton towards north, exposing progressively deeper crustal levels towards the south. The low-grade terrain in the north does not have recognizable swarms, but the Tiptur swarm consists essentially of amphibolites and Hunsur swarm mainly of basic granulites, all of them preserving cross-cutting relations with host rocks, chilled margins and relict igneous textures. There are also younger dolerite dykes scattered throughout the craton that are unaffected by this metamorphic zonation. Large-scale geochemical, geochronological and palaeomagnetic data acquisition through state-of-the-art instrumentation is urgently needed in the Dharwar craton to catch up with contemporary advancements in the classical greenstone terrains of the world.     

Flow of ultra-hot orogens: A view from the Precambrian, clues for the Phanerozoic

This contribution emphasizes first-order structural and metamorphic characters of Precambrian accretionary orogens to understand the kinematics and thermomechanical state of the continental lithosphere in convergent settings involving massive juvenile magmatism. We define a new class of orogens, called ultra-hot orogens (UHO), in which the weakest type of lithosphere on Earth is deformed. UHO are characterized by (1) distributed shortening and orogen-scale flow combining vertical and horizontal longitudinal advection, under long-lasting convergence, (2) homogeneous thickening by combined downward movements of supracrustal units and three-dimensional mass redistribution in the viscous lower crust, and (3) steady-state, negligible topography and relief leveled by syn-shortening erosion and near-field sedimentation. The flow analysis of UHO provides clues to understanding crustal kinematics beneath high plateaus and suggests that the seismic reflectivity pattern of hot orogens is an image of the layering produced by lateral flow of the lower crust and associated syn-kinematic plutonism.In between the UHO and the modern cold orogens (CO), developed by shortening of lithosphere bearing a stiff upper mantle, two classes of orogens are defined. Hot orogens (HO, representative of Cordilleran and wide mature collisional belts) share flow pattern characteristics with UHO, but involve a less intense magmatic activity and develop high topographies driving their collapse. Mixed-hot orogens (MHO, representative of magmatic arcs and Proterozoic collisional belts) are orogens made of UHO-type juvenile crust and display CO-like structure and kinematics. This classification points to the fundamental link between the presence of a stiff lithospheric mantle and strain localization along major thrusts in convergent settings. A high Moho temperature (> 900 °C), implying thinning of the lithospheric mantle, enhances three-dimensional flow of the lithosphere in response to convergence. Overall, this classification of orogens emphasizes the space and time variability of uppermost mantle temperature in controlling plate interactions and continental growth.     

华北中部构造带不同前寒武纪地块主要特征对比研究

古元古代是华北克拉通构造演化的关键时期,主要体现在由新太古代大陆地壳垂向增生到古元古代侧向增生的转换。华北中部构造带的构造性质是近年来华北克拉通构造演化研究争论的焦点之一,构造带中段出露恒山、五台和阜平等多个前寒武纪变质杂岩,其中发育多条大型韧性剪切带,这些剪切带的主期活动时代均为1. 85～1. 80Ga。本文以这些剪切带为构造边界将变质杂岩划分为恒山地块、繁峙地块、五台地块和阜平地块,并在早期研究中解析了繁峙地块构造挤入事件和阜平地块西部的伸展构造事件,表明这些前寒武纪地块的构造位置在古元古代末前后可能有所不同。结合前人资料,本文对这些地块的岩石组成、形成时代、变质作用以及典型构造样式等特征进行详细对比研究。结果表明,恒山地块、阜平地块和五台地块共同组成华北克拉通早前寒武纪"高级区-绿岩带"的典型壳层结构,而繁峙地块与其他地块具有明显差异,具有外来地块特征。
