大别山中生代构造演化:来自盆地充填记录的启示

通过对大别山周缘盆地的对比分析,研究了大别山中生代构造演化格局。盆地充填序列分析表明,尽管中生代大别山南、北盆山耦合关系不同,但构造体制均经历了前白垩纪挠曲向白垩纪伸展的转化;砂岩物源再造反映中生代南大别山源区剥露尚未大规模触及岩浆弧“根”,剥露深度浅于北大别单元。大别山邻区晚中生代巨厚磨拉石是陆内造山强烈阶段的沉积记录,它们的产出及相关的造山带隆升与该区超高压变质岩快速折返没有直接关系。进一步讨论了恢复大别山物源结构、建立盆地类磨拉石精细地层年代学格架等在造山带构造研究中的重要性及其现存的关键问题。     

Jinning granodiorite and diorite deeply concealed in the central Tarim Basin

The Tarkelamagan Desert almost wholly covers the Tarim Basin, therefore, existing geological reports of the basin mainly concentrate on outcrops in the sur-rounding areas. Data of fundamental geology of the interior of the basin are rare[1―8]. The 7200-m-deep Well Tacan 1 (TC1 for short), the deepest well in China, is located on the Tazhong Lower Uplift of the Central Rise in the central desert of the Tarim Basin (Fig. 1(a)). It reveals a rather complete succession in the region, inclu…     

The Rand Granite in the southern Schwarzwald and its geodynamic significance in the Variscan belt of SW Germany

The Rand Granite is a heterogeneous metamorphosed granitoid rock complex with numerous wallrock inclusions situated in the Moldanubian Zone at the southern margin of the Central Schwarzwald Gneiss Complex. It is a largely mylonitized elongated body and is thrust over the Badenweiler-Lenzkirch Zone forming a nappe with shear zones along its northern and southern boundaries. It comprises meta-granites, meta-trondhjemites and biotite augen gneisses derived from monzogranites to granodiorites. Mineral behaviour indicates that the magmatic body has been deformed under upper greenschist facies conditions. Nappe thrusting, which also affected the South Schwarzwald Gneiss Complex, occurred in Visean time during high-temperature / low-pressure metamorphism. Kinematic indicators in the mylonites document E- to ESE-directed nappe transport, highly transpressive relative to the trend of the nappe boundaries and the foliation. The trondhjemites formed at 351 +5/-4 Ma, predating the Variscan HT metamorphism. They have initial _Nd-values of +6.6 to +6.7 and relatively low initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.7042 to 0.7063), indicating a predominant mantle origin. The granites and protoliths of the biotite augen gneisses probably crystallised between 436 and 377 Ma, suggested by U-Pb zircon model ages. They are different from the trondhjemites with low initial _Nd-values (–4.7 to –3.3) and higher initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.7068–0.7077), indicating that large part of the Rand Granite originated from anatexis of continental crust. Internal structure of zircons from the Rand Granite reveals mixing of magmas derived from both mantle and crust sources. These new data support an interpretation that the Rand Granite developed along an active continental margin and therefore represents a possible root of a Variscan magmatic arc.     

Molybdenite Re–Os dating constrains gravitational collapse of the Sveconorwegian orogen, SW Scandinavia

Re–Os dating of molybdenite from small deposits is used to define crustal domains exhibiting ductile versus brittle behaviour during gravitational collapse of the Sveconorwegian orogen in SW Scandinavia. A 1019 ± 3 Ma planar quartz vein defines a minimum age for brittle behaviour in central Telemark. In Rogaland–Vest Agder, molybdenite associated with deformed quartz and pegmatite veins formed between 982 ± 3 and 947 ± 3 Ma in the amphibolite-facies domain (three deposits) and between 953 ± 3 and 931 ± 3 Ma west of the clinopyroxene-in isograd (two deposits) in the vicinity of the 0.93–0.92 Ga Rogaland anorthosite complex. The data constrain the last increment of ductile deformation to be younger than 0.95 and 0.93 Ga in these two metamorphic zones, respectively. Molybdenite is the product of an equilibrium between biotite, oxide and sulfide minerals and a fluid or hydrated melt phase, after the peak of 1.03–0.97 Ga regional metamorphism. Molybdenite precipitation is locally episodic. A model for gravitational collapse of the Sveconorwegian orogen controlled by lithospheric extension after 0.97 Ga is proposed. In the west of the orogen, the Rogaland–Vest Agder sector is interpreted as a large shallow gneiss dome, formed slowly in two stages in a warm and structurally weak crust. The first stage at 0.96–0.93 Ga was associated with intrusion of the post-collisional hornblende–biotite granite suite. The second stage at 0.93–0.92 Ga, restricted to the southwesternmost area, was associated with intrusion of the anorthosite–mangerite–charnockite suite. Most of the central part of the orogen was already situated in the brittle upper crust well before 0.97 Ga, and did not undergo significant exhumation during collapse. In the east of the orogen, situated against the colder cratonic foreland, exhumation of high-grade rocks of the Eastern Segment occurred between 0.97 and 0.95 Ga, and included preservation of high-pressure rocks but no plutonism.     

秦岭造山带秋树湾铜钼矿床辉钼矿Re-Os定年及其地质意义

秋树湾铜钼矿床是秦岭造山带东段最大的斑岩-夕卡岩型铜钼矿床,通过对矿石中6个辉钼矿样品的 Re-Os 同位素分析,得到了145.57±1.80～147.98±2.21Ma 的模式年龄(平均为146.42±1.77Ma)及一个相关性很好的等时线年龄147±4Ma,表明秋树湾铜钼矿床形成于晚侏罗世,与其以北的华北克拉通南缘的主要斑岩型钼矿床及位于扬子克拉通北缘的长江中下游铁铜矿床的大规模成矿时间一致,是中国东部中生代第2期大规模成矿作用的产物。秋树湾铜钼矿床辉钼矿的含铼量平均达151.8×10~(-6),明显高于华北克拉通南缘钼矿带同期形成的钼矿床(16.13×10~(-6)～28.09×10~(-6)),认为主要是由于两者成矿元素 Cu/Mo 比值的不同造成的;结合矿石硫同位素特征,认为矿床的物质主要来源于下地壳。     

Ore Geology, Fluid Geochemistry and Genesis of the Shanggong Gold Deposit, Eastern Qinling Orogen, China

Abstract. The Shanggong Au deposit in the Xiong'er Terrane, East Qinling, has reserves of about 30 t Au, making it one of the largest orogenic‐type Au deposits hosted in volcanic rocks in China. The deposit is hosted in the andesitic assemblage of the Xiong'er Group of 1.85?1.4 Ga. Three stages of hydrothermal ore‐forming processes are recognized, Early (E), Middle (M) and Late (L), characterised by quartz‐pyrite, polymetallic sulfides and carbonate‐quartz, respectively. Homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions are between 380‐320d?C for the E‐stage, 300‐220d?C for the M‐stage and 200‐120d?C for the L‐stage. The composition of fluid inclusions changed from CO₂‐rich in the E‐stage to CO₂‐poor L‐stage. The M‐stage fluid has the highest contents of cations and anions (e.g., SO₄^2‐, Cl¹, K+), the highest (K+Na)/(Mg+Ca) and lowest CO₂/H₂O ratios, which probably resulted from CO₂ phase separation. This, together with the alkaline and reducing conditions, as indicated by highest pH and lowest Eh values, is most conducive to the deposition of polymetallic sulfides and native elements such as Au, Ag and Te. H‐O isotope systematics indicate that ore fluids evolved from deep‐sourced through to shallow‐sourced, with the M‐stage being a mixing phase of these two fluid‐systems. Nineteen δ¹⁸O_W values, from 4.2 to 13.4 %o, averaging 8.1 %o, suggest that the E‐stage fluids derived from metamorphic devolatilization of sedimentary rocks at depth. Comparison of the H‐O isotope systematics between the Shanggong deposit and the main lithologies in the Xiong'er Terrane, shows that neither these nor the underlying lower crust and mantle, or combinations thereof, could be considered as the source of ore fluids and metals for the Shanggong Au deposit. Instead, a source which meets the isotopic constraints, is a carbonaceous carbonate‐sandstone‐shale‐chert (CSC) sequence, which is present in the Guandaokou and Luanchuan Groups in the south of the Xiong'er Terrane. This conclusion is supported by thirteen high δ¹⁸O values of the Meso‐Neoproterozoic strata south of the Machaoying fault, and the high δ¹⁸O_W values calculated for their possibly metamorphic fluids. It can be also supported by previous observation that the Guandaokou and Luanchuan Groups were underthrust beneath the Xiong'er Terrane, during the Mesozoic collision between the Yangtze and Sinokorean continents. Available isotope ages, together with geological field data, constrain the timing of the Au metallogenesis between 250?110 Ma. This metallogenesis and associated granitic magmatism, can be related to the Yangtze‐Sinokorean continental collision that resulted in the formation of the Qinling Orogen. This collision event progressed from early compression (Triassic to Early Jurassic), through middle compression‐to‐extension transition (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous), to late extension (Cretaceous). These three stages in the evolution of the Qinling Orogen form the basis of an ore genesis model that combines collisional orogeny, metallogeny and fluid flow (CMF model). These three evolutionary stages correspond to the three‐stages of ore‐forming fluids of the Shanggong Au deposit. We conclude that the formation of the Shanggong Au deposit is a result of the Mesozoic northward intracontinental A‐type subduction along the Machaoying fault during Yangtze‐Sinokorean continental collision, which led to the metamorphic devolatilization of the CSC sequence, thereby providing both fluids and metals.
