Sequential melting and fractional crystallization: Granites from Guarda-Sabugal area, central Portugal

Seven distinct phases of Variscan two-mica granite are recognized in the Guarda-Sabugal area. They intruded the Cambrian schist-metagraywacke complex, crystallized in the middle crust, and are syn- to late-D3 (309.2 ± 1.8 Ma), late-D3 (304–300 Ma) and late- to post-D3 (299 ± 3 Ma; ID-TIMS ages on zircon and monazite). Two of the granites, G2 and G5, are close in age and have similar Sr, Nd and O isotope characteristics but contrasting whole rock and mineral features and formed by sequential increasing degree of partial melting of a common metasedimentary protolith. During sequential melting Ti, total Fe, Mg, Ca, Zr, Zn, Sr, Ba and REE contents and (La/Yb)_N increase and Si and Rb contents decrease, plagioclase becomes richer in anorthite and biotite and muscovite richer in Ti and Mg. Each of these granites evolved subsequently by fractional crystallization of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, biotite and ilmenite, defining separate series G2–G3–G7 and G5–G6 containing late Sn-bearing differentiates. Two other granites G1 and G4 represent distinct pulses of magma with individual fractionation trends for major and trace elements and distinct (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)₃₀₀, ?Nd₃₀₀ and δ¹⁸O values.     

碳酸盐沉积物的成岩作用

化学沉淀碳酸盐矿物在沉积后很容易受到各种作用的影响,其中最重要的是其在成岩阶段所经历的成岩作用.碳酸盐沉积物在成岩过程中主要受大气降水、海水和埋藏过程中孔隙流体的控制,经历一系列压实、溶解、矿物的多相转变、重结晶、胶结等成岩作用,逐渐转变为固结的岩石.在成岩过程中,由于孔隙流体与沉积流体之间的异同以及温度的变化,碳酸盐沉积物的原始矿物成分、地球化学特征可能会很好的保存下来,但在许多情况下,也可能会改变,从而使我们无法准确反演碳酸盐沉积物在沉积时水体的特征.因此,我们在应用碳酸盐岩重建相关古环境和古气候变化的时候,必须要通过有效的方法来对碳酸盐岩是否受到成岩作用的影响进行鉴定.     

俯冲型和碰撞型含矿斑岩地球化学组成的差异

Cu-Mo-Au含矿斑岩不仅可以形成于与洋壳俯冲相联系的弧环境,而且也产于碰撞造山带内。通过对比俯冲型和碰撞型含矿斑岩的地球化学特征,发现它们特别在微量元素上具有较大差别,暗示它们有着不同的物源区组成或形成机制。同冈底斯带碰撞型含矿斑岩相比,太平洋东岸俯冲型含矿斑岩有着明显高的HREE和Y含量,低的Sr/Y、(La/Yb)_N以及(Dy/Yb)_N比值,表明其物质源区不含或含有少量的石榴子石并可能以角闪石组成为主。统计发现这些俯冲型含矿斑岩部分样品具有埃达克岩地球化学特征,但大部分样品却显示出具有与正常岛弧系列火山岩相似的特征,它们很可能是板片释放流体交代地幔楔形成的熔体并在后期经历MASH过程的产物。冈底斯带碰撞型含矿斑岩具有典型埃达克岩地球化学特征,指示其形成条件达到了石榴子石相变,可能形成于增厚的下地壳,其物质源区很可能与前期的洋壳俯冲有着密切的联系。普朗-雪鸡坪含矿斑岩具有与俯冲型含矿斑岩十分相似的地球化学特征,它们有可能是西向俯冲的甘孜-理塘洋发生断离,进而诱发前期俯冲流体交代的富集地幔楔发生部分熔融的产物,而并非是俯冲洋壳直接发生部分熔融的产物。     

阿尔泰南缘乌吐布拉克铁矿区花岗质岩石年代学及成因

本文对新疆阿尔泰南缘乌吐布拉克铁矿区斜长花岗岩和黑云母斜长花岗岩进行了锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄测定,分别获得了385.6±2.3 Ma（MSDW=0.13）和387.7±2.1 Ma（MSDW=0.23）的谐和年龄,两者为中泥盆世早期同源岩浆侵入体。乌吐布拉克铁矿的形成与岩浆侵入活动密切相关,据此限定铁矿成矿时代略晚于388～386 Ma,为中泥盆世早期成矿。乌吐布拉克斜长花岗岩与黑云斜长母花岗岩均具有高硅（SiO2=66.01%～79.14%）、富钠贫钾（Na2O＞K2O）的特点。A/CNK〖HT4”〗{A/CNK=n(Al2O3)/\n(CaO)+n(Na2O)+n(K2O)]}值均小于1.1,表明两者为准铝质低钾花岗岩。微量元素表现为富集Th、Ta、Hf等高场强元素,亏损Rb 、Ba、K、Sr、P大离子亲石元素。稀土元素表现为轻稀土相对富集,轻重稀土元素分馏明显[(La/Yb)N=2.46～7.24],具有中等或强的Eu负异常。结合区域地质资料,认为乌吐布拉克矿区花岗岩形成于与板块俯冲有关的活动大陆边缘的陆缘弧环境中。     

木其滩岩组形成时代、地球化学特征——对北秦岭构造演化的制约

出露于北秦岭造山带中的木其滩岩组主要由斜长角闪岩组成,其原岩为玄武岩-亚碱性玄武岩。对木其滩岩组斜长角闪岩中的锆石进行LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学分析,获得同位素年龄762.5±4.6Ma,为成岩年龄。地球化学上,这些斜长角闪岩显示低钛 (TiO₂=0.57%~2.16%),低K₂O/Na₂O比值(0.06~0.55)和中等-高 Mg^#(45.3~68.7)特征,为低钛拉斑玄武岩。在球粒陨石标准化图解中,表现出轻重稀土分异,无Eu异常的特征,类似于E-MORB。这些斜长角闪岩以Rb、Ba、Th和La富集,低(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i 比 (0.7038~0.7040) 和高的ε_Nd(t)值(+4.1~+6.9)为特征,表明其来源于地幔,成分上相似于FOZO。(Th/Nb)_N, Nb/La 和 Ba/La的比值特征表明它们经历了不同程度的地壳混染。所有这些特征,结合区域地质资料阐明木其滩岩组斜长角闪岩代表的是大约762.5±4.6Ma商丹洋盆初始裂解时的洋壳残片。     

Geochemical characteristics of stream sediments,sediment fractions,soils, and basement rocks from the Mahaweli River and its catchment,Sri Lanka

Geochemical variations in stream sediments (n = 54) from the Mahaweli River of Sri Lanka have been evaluated from the viewpoints of lithological control, sorting, heavy mineral concentration, influence of climatic zonation (wet, intermediate, and dry zones), weathering, and downstream transport. Compositions of soils (n = 22) and basement rocks (n = 38) of the catchment and those of <180 μm and 180–2000 μm fractions of the stream sediments were also examined. The sediments, fractions, soils and basement rocks were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence to determine their As, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, V, Sr, Y, Nb, Zr, Th, Sc, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, MnO, CaO, P₂O₅ and total sulfur contents. Abundances of high field strength and ferromagnesian elements in the sediments indicate concentration of durable heavy minerals including zircon, tourmaline, rutile, monazite, garnet, pyriboles, and titanite, especially in <180 μm fractions. The sediments show strong correlation between Ti and Fe, further suggesting presence of heavy mineral phases containing both elements, such as ilmenite and magnetite. The basement rocks range from mafic through to felsic compositions, as do the soils. The river sediments lack ultrabasic components, and overall have intermediate to felsic compositions. Elemental spikes in the confluences of tributary rivers and high values in the <180 μm fractions indicate sporadic inputs of mafic detritus and/or heavy minerals to the main channel. Al₂O₃/(K₂O + Na₂O) and K₂O/Na₂O ratios of the sediments and LOI values of the soils correlate well with the climatic zones, suggesting intense weathering in the wet zone, lesser weathering in the intermediate zone, and least weathering in the dry zone. Low Sr and CaO contents and Cr/V ratios in stream sediments in the wet zone also suggest climatic influence. Fe-normalized enrichment factors (EFs) for As, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni and Cr in stream sediments in the main channel are nearly all <1.5, indicating there is no significant environmental contamination. The chemistry of the sediments, rocks and the soils in the Mahaweli River are thus mainly controlled by source lithotype, weathering, sorting, and heavy mineral accumulation.     

新疆北山地区两个含铜镍镁铁—超镁铁质岩体铂族元素地球化学研究

对北山地区坡一和罗东含铜镍的镁铁-超镁铁质岩体铂族元素研究表明,两个岩体的铂族元素(PGE)总量较低,PPGE较IPGE富集,原始地幔标准化模式呈正斜率,均较原始地幔亏损,具Ir和Rh的弱负异常。较低的Pd/Ir比值表明岩石主要受岩浆作用控制,后期热液作用影响不明显。两个岩体的原生岩浆均为MgO 含量较高的PGE不亏损的拉斑玄武质岩浆,较高的Cu/Pd、Ti/Pd比值表明岩浆在演化过程中发生了硫化物的熔离。罗东岩体早期矿物相（橄榄石、铬铁矿）的分离结晶作用对岩浆中的硫达到饱和具有重要的贡献,而坡一岩体该作用对硫化物熔离的贡献不明显。坡一和罗东岩体的R值表明两岩体均具有达到中型Ni矿床的潜力。
