青藏高原东北缘祁连山中部精细地壳结构研究

现今的青藏高原东北缘祁连山地区是在早古生代构造格架的基础之上,于新生代在欧亚大陆与印度大陆碰撞拼合的远程影响下,重新活化进而隆起成为高原的组成部分.因此,该区域地壳结构的揭示不仅可以获得高原地壳变形方式的关键信息,而且也能对该区域早古生代晚期北祁连洋闭合时的相关构造演化提供重要证据.本文以一条穿过青藏高原东北缘祁连山中部地区的深地震反射剖面为基础,结合前人地质、地球物理资料,通过细致的地质构造解译,获得了青藏高原东北缘祁连山中部地区的精细地壳结构.反射剖面图像揭示了海原断裂西段的深部延伸形态、中地壳的双重构造、以及中下地壳的祁连逆冲断裂系等精细的深部构造.结合前人的地质以及地球物理资料,我们提出早古生代晚期北祁连闭合时的南向俯冲以及新生代以来祁连山地区两次陆内俯冲作用可能造就了现今的祁连山.

     

西藏冈底斯带东段尼木地区中二叠世和晚三叠世基性岩浆作用及其对新特提斯洋初始俯冲的约束

野外地质调查和SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年代学研究发现,藏南冈底斯带尼木地区出露有规模较大、原岩形成于中二叠世（~266Ma）和晚三叠世（220~219Ma）的变质基性岩,而晚三叠世变质基性岩中还存在~2.5Ga的捕获锆石。全岩地球化学分析显示,两期基性岩具有相似的地球化学特征,即：（1）相对富集轻稀土元素,亏损重稀土元素和高场强元素;（2）比较一致的Sr和Nd同位素比值（⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr（t）=0.703225~0.703664,ε_Nd（t）=6.51~6.81）。结合拉萨地块东南缘已发表的三叠纪中-基性岩地球化学数据,发现尼木中二叠世和晚三叠世基性岩皆形成于陆缘弧环境,岩浆来源于尖晶石橄榄岩地幔2.5%~4%的部分熔融,并经历了一定程度的地壳混染。对比拉萨地块西南缘与东南缘二叠纪-三叠纪俯冲相关的岩浆记录,推断新特提斯洋向拉萨地块下的初始俯冲作用具有穿时性,东段俯冲作用在~266Ma已经开启,西段则发生在255~214Ma之间。

     

印度尼西亚北苏拉威西岛弧岩浆作用及其对板块俯冲起始的制约

板块俯冲起始是板块构造理论的核心内容, 但却研究最为薄弱。印度尼西亚北苏拉威西岛弧是始新世期间开始发育的一个印度洋洋内弧, 其记录了多期次(包括印度洋、马鲁古海和西里伯斯海)的且处于不同演化阶段的俯冲作用及相应的俯冲起始过程, 因此该岛弧是研究板块俯冲起始的天然实验室。本文通过回顾板块俯冲起始研究进展, 结合北苏拉威西岛弧内已有的野外调查、锆石U-Pb定年、岩石地球化学特征等, 以厘清区域内岛弧岩浆的岩石类型、形成时代、空间分布和岩浆活动节律, 制约岛弧岩浆的构造背景和岩浆源区性质等, 并着重关注该岛弧内可能与板块俯冲起始相关的地质和岩石记录, 如弧前玄武岩、玻安岩、俯冲带(SSZ)型蛇绿岩、变质底板等。在此基础上, 综合限定北苏拉威西岛弧记录的印度洋洋壳俯冲历史, 探讨其俯冲起始的时间与地球动力学机制。本文仅抛砖引玉, 期待更多学者参与到北苏拉威西岛弧板块俯冲起始的研究中来。

     

拉萨地块中北部白垩纪则弄群火山岩:Slainajap洋南向俯冲的产物?

拉萨地块广泛分布有中生代的岩浆活动,研究它们对于认识特提斯洋的演化和理解整个青藏高原的形成过程有着重要的启示.本文对出露于拉萨地块中北部的则弄群火山岩进行了系统的年代学以及元素地球化学研究.研究的则弄群火山岩主要由玄武安山岩、安山岩和英安岩组成,根据化学成分可将其分为中基性(SiO258%)两个组.中基性岩以低钾和中钾钙碱性岩为主,而中酸性岩则主要位于高钾钙碱性系列;二者微量元素分布特征相似,如均富集Rb、Ba、Th、u等大离子亲石元素(LILE),Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素(HFSE)有着明显的负异常,具有明显的弧火山岩成分特征;稀土配分模式均表现为一致的轻稀土富集右倾型,可能反应了其母岩浆的同源性.精确的锆石U-Ph IA-ICPMS定年获得了113.6±1.0Ma年龄.说明研究区则弄群火山岩形成于早白垩世中期.综合前人的研究成果,我们初步认为则弄群火山岩可能为班公湖.怒江缝合带南侧的狮泉河-永珠-纳木错-嘉黎蛇绿岩带所代表的古洋(Slainajap洋)在早白垩世向南俯冲消减的产物.     

大兴安岭南段林西地区花岗岩类的源岩：地壳生长的时代和方式

本文选择大兴安岭南段林西地区的5个典型花岗岩体,在岩相学、全岩主微量元素和Nd-Sr同位素组成研究的基础上,对5个岩体的继承锆石/前锆石和岩浆锆石进行了系统的SHRIMP U-Pb年龄测定和LA-MC-ICPMS Hf同位素组成测定,试图阐明林西花岗岩源岩的组成和性质.锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年表明：大部分林西花岗岩侵位于早白垩世（135～125 Ma）,它们的源岩的年龄为～146 Ma.一部分花岗岩类是在早三叠世（241 Ma）和晚侏罗世末（146 Ma）侵位的,它们的源岩的年龄分别是263 Ma和165 Ma.测定了100个锆石206Pb/238U年龄,都年轻于300 Ma,反映在下地壳源区不存在前寒武纪岩石.做了175个锆石Hf同位素组成测定,均给出高正值εHf（t）,说明源岩具有初生地壳的性质.在相同的εNd（t）值下,林西花岗岩的锆石εHf（t）值显著高于地球阵列和夏威夷洋岛玄武岩,这种εHf～εNd脱耦性指示源岩中含有远洋沉积物即古生代俯冲增生杂岩的组分.206pb/238U年龄t=263～165Ma的锆石的εHf（t）值构成近乎平行于亏损地幔Hf同位素演化线的趋势列,说明源岩基本为俯冲洋壳镁铁-超镁铁岩.t=146～125 Ma的锆石的εHf（t）值大幅度降低;同时,从晚侏罗世末到早白垩世,发生了强烈的花岗质岩浆活动.地幔上隆和岩浆底侵以及俯冲洋壳的折返,是造成下地壳源岩组成急剧变化和热梯度上升的原因.以底侵镁铁质岩石为主、以古生代俯冲增生杂岩为次的源岩的熔融,产生了马鞍子、夜来改和龙头山2花岗岩（岩套2）.林西镇南西的小城子岩体的源岩则以古生代俯冲增生杂岩为主,并含一定量的底侵镁铁质岩石.5个岩体的岩浆锆石的176Hf/177Hf值系统低于继承锆石/前锆石者,t=146～125 Ma的锆石从中心到边缘176H/177Hf值呈现降低的趋势或者系统的变化.上述特征反映从源岩的初始熔融直到最终产生花岗岩浆的全过程中,下地壳的熔融区间逐渐扩张、卷入熔融的组分不断增多的过程.岩套1花岗岩类是镁质或Ⅰ型花岗岩,岩套2则表现出A型花岗岩以及从典型到不典型的铁质花岗岩的特征.岩套1和岩套2花岗岩类的岩相学和地球化学特征取决于源岩的性质.岩套1的源岩是相对氧化和含水的洋壳镁铁-超镁铁岩或俯冲增生杂岩;岩套2的源岩则由相对还原和贫水的底侵拉斑玄武岩以及不同分数的俯冲增生杂岩构成.     

大陆边缘动力沉降及其深部构造作用控制

动力沉降是动力地形的一种,即动力地形低。动力地形一般认为具有两种成因,一种为与超大陆集聚和分散有关的动力地形,另一种为与大洋板片俯冲有关的动力地形。大陆边缘动力沉降的模拟已经提出了不同的动力学模型,如大洋板块缓倾角或陡倾角俯冲模型、不同样式（俯冲角度变化和速度变化）和性质（大洋岩石圈热年代变化等）的大洋板块俯冲模式和具应力引导的、动态三维的板块俯冲模型。关于大陆边缘动力沉降及其深部板块俯冲作用控制的研究已经趋向更加符合实际、更加精细和系统。对深部地幔活动及其地表动力地形响应的深入研究有望对关于大陆边缘区高级别层序单元及其界面的成因机制、大陆内部动力沉降与深部构造作用之间的耦合关系、我国晚中生代至新生代大陆边缘区动力学背景和油气资源评价等问题的研究取得新的进展和突破。     

日本海—鄂霍次克海下俯冲带的应力状态及其深部形变

通过地震分布及地震机制解所反映的日本海—鄂霍次克海俯冲带的形态及应力状态,研究了俯冲带深部形变及650km间断面的穿透问题.日本海Benioff带较直,连续性较好;鄂霍次克海Benioff带弯度稍大,220—320km深度之间地震很少.两俯冲带在浅部及深部地震密集,100—200km深度之间有双地震层.应力状态随深度变化,200km深度以下P,T轴方向相对集中,P轴接近俯冲方向,在约100—200km深度附近,P,T轴均接近俯冲方向.观测和理论地震图拟合分析表明,地震断层面走向接近俯冲带走向,断裂的结果使俯冲带在深部倾角变小.

藏北羌塘中部沿龙木错-双湖-线出露一条低温高压变质带,目前已有多处蓝片岩的报道.然而,除冈玛错地区产有典型的蓝闪石外,多数地区并没有典型蓝闪石的报道.绒玛蓝片岩位于羌塘中部高压变质带的中段,是该带中规模最大、保存最好的蓝片岩,对蓝片岩进行了详细的岩石学和矿物学研究,钠质角闪石主要为蓝闪石、青铝闪石、钠闪石和镁钠闪石.对蓝片岩中蓝闪石和多硅白云母进行了40Ar/39Ar定年,获得了227.3±3.8Ma和215±1.5Ma的坪年龄,分别代表蓝片岩快速俯冲消减和俯冲作用结束开始折返抬升的时代.绒玛蓝片岩岩石学、矿物学和40Ar/39Ar年代学研究为羌塘中部高压变质带的研究提供了新的资料.     

A Preliminary Analysis of Seismotectonics for the Indonesia M8.7 Earthquake on December 26, 2004

The Indonesian region is one of the most seismically active zones on the earth. On December 26, 2004, an M_S 8.7 earthquake (as measured by the China Seismograph Network, or M_w = 9.3 as measured by USGS) struck the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. By its magnitude it is classified as the world's fourth largest earthquake since 1900 and the largest one since the 1964 Alaska earthquake. The spatial distribution of the relocation of larger aftershocks (M>4.5) following the main shock suggests a length and width of the rupture of about 1200km and 200km, respectively. The shock triggered massive tsunamis that affected several countries throughout South and Southeast Asia. It is a shallow interplate event of thrust type in the trench. Its epicenter is located at the northwestern end of the Indonesia-Melanesia plate boundary tectonic zone. In 2004, eight shocks of M≥7.0 occurred in this area, showing a migration from east to west. It implies that these shocks represent a correlated and consistent dynamic process along this subduction zone. These interplate events are associated with convergence of several plates and their fast motion in this region, which result in strong and complex structures and deformation. The India-Australia plate is underthrusting toward the Sunda continental block or Burma plate at a low angle, producing a great locked area on the shallow portion of the subduction zone where enormous strain is accumulated. Interseismic uplift recorded by coral growth and horizontal velocities measured by GPS show the geometry of the locked portion of the Sumatra subduction zone. The vertical and horizontal data reasonably match with a model in which the plate interface is fully locked over a significant width. This locked fault zone extends to a horizontal distance of 132km from the trench, which corresponds to a depth of 50km. The sudden ruptures and large-scale slip of this locked area as a release of stress occurred, are the direct cause of the M8.7 earthquake near Indonesia in 2004.     

The time-space distribution of Eocene to Miocene magmatism in the central Peruvian polymetallic province and its metallogenetic implications

Eocene to late Miocene magmatism in the central Peruvian high-plain (approx. between Cerro de Pasco and Huancayo; Lats. 10.2–12°S) and east of the Cordillera Occidental is represented by scattered shallow-level intrusions as well as subaerial domes and volcanic deposits. These igneous rocks are calc-alkalic and range from basalt to rhyolite in composition, and many of them are spatially, temporally and, by inference, genetically associated with varied styles of major polymetallic mineralization. Forty-four new ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar and three U/Pb zircon dates are presented, many for previously undated intrusions. Our new time constraints together with data from the literature now cover most of the Cenozoic igneous rocks of this Andean segment and provide foundation for geodynamic and metallogenetic research.The oldest Cenozoic bodies are of Eocene age and include dacitic domes to the west of Cerro de Pasco with ages ranging from 38.5 to 33.5 Ma. South of the Domo de Yauli structural dome, Eocene igneous rocks occur some 15 km east of the Cordillera Occidental and include a 39.34 ± 0.28 Ma granodioritic intrusion and a 40.14 ± 0.61 Ma rhyolite sill, whereas several diorite stocks were emplaced between 36 and 33 Ma. Eocene mineralization is restricted to the Quicay high-sulfidation epithermal deposit some 10 km to the west of Cerro de Pasco.Igneous activity in the earliest Oligocene was concentrated up to 70 km east of the Cordillera Occidental and is represented by a number of granodioritic intrusions in the Milpo–Atacocha area. Relatively voluminous early Oligocene dacitic to andesitic volcanism gave rise to the Astabamba Formation to the southeast of Domo de Yauli. Some stocks at Milpo and Atacocha generated important Zn–Pb (–Ag) skarn mineralization. After about 29.3 Ma, magmatism ceased throughout the study region. Late Oligocene igneous activity was restricted to andesitic and dacitic volcanic deposits and intrusions around Uchucchacua (approx. 25 Ma) and felsic rocks west of Tarma (21–20 Ma). A relationship between the Oligocene intrusions and polymetallic mineralization at Uchucchacua is possible, but evidence remains inconclusive.Widespread magmatism resumed in the middle Miocene and includes large igneous complexes in the Cordillera Occidental to the south of Domo de Yauli, and smaller scattered intrusive centers to the north thereof. Ore deposits of modest size are widely associated with middle Miocene intrusions along the Cordillera Occidental, north of Domo de Yauli. However, small volcanic centers were also active up to 50 km east of the continental divide and include dacitic dikes and domes, spatially associated with major base and precious metal mineralization at Cerro de Pasco and Colquijirca. Basaltic volcanism (14.54 ± 0.49 Ma) is locally observed in the back-arc domain south of Domo de Yauli approximately 30 km east of the Cordillera Occidental.After about 10 Ma intrusive activity decreased throughout Central Perú and ceased between 6 and 5 Ma. Late Miocene magmatism was locally related to important mineralization including San Cristobal (Domo de Yauli), Huarón and Yauricocha.Overall, there is no evidence for a systematic eastward migration of the magmatic arc through time. The arc broadened in the late Eocene to early Oligocene, and thereafter ceased over wide areas until the early Miocene, when magmatism resumed in a narrow arc. A renewed widening and subsequent cessation of the arc occurred in the late middle and late Miocene. The pattern of magmatism probably reflects two cycles of flattening of the subduction in the Oligocene and late Miocene. Contrasting crustal architecture between areas south and north of Domo de Yauli probably account for the differences in the temporal and aerial distribution of magmatism in these areas.Ore deposits are most abundant between Domo de Yauli and Cerro de Pasco and were generally emplaced in the middle and late Miocene during the transition to flat subduction and prior to cessation of the arc. Eocene to early Oligocene mineralization also occurred, but was restricted to a broad east–west corridor from Uchucchacua to Milpo–Atacocha, indicating a major upper-plate metallogenetic control.
