Magmatic-to-hydrothermal crystallization in the W–Sn mineralized Mole Granite (NSW, Australia): Part I: Crystallization of zircon and REE-phosphates over three million years—a geochemical and U–Pb geochronological study

Zircon, monazite and xenotime crystallized over a temperature interval of several hundred degrees at the magmatic to hydrothermal transition of the Sn and W mineralized Mole Granite. Magmatic zircon and monazite, thought to have crystallized from hydrous silicate melt, were dated by conventional U–Pb techniques at an age of 247.6 ± 0.4 and 247.7 ± 0.5 Ma, respectively. Xenotime occurring in hydrothermal quartz is found to be significantly younger at 246.2 ± 0.5 Ma and is interpreted to represent hydrothermal growth. From associated fluid inclusions it is concluded that it precipitated from a hydrothermal brine ≤ 600 °C, which is below the accepted closure temperature for U–Pb in this mineral. These data are compatible with a two-stage crystallization process: precipitation of zircon and monazite as magmatic liquidus phases in deep crustal magma followed by complete crystallization and intimately associated Sn–W mineralization after intrusion of the shallow, sill-like body of the Mole Granite. Later hydrothermal formation of monazite in a biotite–fluorite–topaz reaction rim around a mineralized vein was dated at 244.4 ± 1.4 Ma, which distinctly postdates the Mole Granite and is possibly related to a younger hidden intrusion and its hydrothermal fluid system.

Obtaining precise age data for magmatic and hydrothermal minerals of the Mole Granite is hampered by uncertainties introduced by different corrections required for multiple highly radiogenic minerals crystallising from evolved hydrous granites, including ²³⁰Th disequilibrium due to Th/U fractionation during monazite and possibly xenotime crystallization, variable Th/U ratios of the fluids from which xenotime was precipitating, elevated contents of common lead, and post-crystallization lead loss in zircon, enhanced by the fluid-saturated environment. The data imply that monazite can also survive as a liquidus phase in protracted magmatic systems over periods of 10⁶ years. The outlined model is in agreement with prominent chemical core-rim variation of the zircon.     

Origin of composite dikes in the Gouldsboro granite, coastal Maine

Composite dikes, consisting of aphyric basaltic margins and phenocryst-rich rhyolitic interiors, cut the Gouldsboro granite of coastal Maine at many localities. Limited hybridization (exchange of crystals, commingling, and mixing) occurs in most of the dikes and indicates that the two magmas were contemporaneous with emplacement of rhyolitic magma following closely in time the initial emplacement of the basaltic dike. Petrographic characteristics and geochemistry indicate that the source of the rhyolite was resident magma in the Gouldsboro granite magma chamber. The composite dikes formed when basaltic dikes ruptured the Gouldsboro magma chamber, permitting partly crystallized magma from the margin of the chamber to flow outward into the center of the basaltic dikes. Field relations of similar composite dikes in other areas (e.g., Iceland, Scotland) are consistent with this model. A second type of composite dike (silicic margins with chilled basaltic pillows) commonly cuts mafic intrusions along the Maine coast and probably formed when a granitic dike ruptured an established chamber of mafic magma, permitting resident mafic magma to collapse downward into the still Liquid granitic dike. Most composite dikes have probably formed when a magma chamber was disrupted by a dike of contrasting magma rather than by tapping a stratified magma chamber.

大兴安岭中北段原岩锆石U-Pb测年及其与区域构造演化关系

作者认为单个锆石的同位素年龄记录了所在区域单次构造、岩浆或变质事件活动的时间,不同来源的大量原岩单颗粒锆石的测年数据则可以反映研究区总体构造演化历史。本文对近年来在大兴安岭中北段自测和收集的123件原岩样品的2636个锆石U-Pb测年点的同位素年龄进行统计,结果显示研究区的锆石年龄数据总体上出现840~780Ma, 530~440Ma, 330~280Ma, 240~190Ma,180~160Ma和150~120Ma等多个明显高峰值区间和>840Ma, 770~540Ma和440~400Ma三个相对数据较少的空白地段,且岩浆结晶锆石、变质锆石、继承性锆石等不同成因类型的锆石的年龄统计分布有良好的对应性。年龄数据的高峰值区间与该地区基底形成、陆壳生长、主要板块或微板块俯冲、碰撞、拼贴等主要构造事件时间吻合;而年龄空白区间则与主要的洋底扩张、被动陆缘时代相吻合。研究说明大量原岩锆石的测年数据与河流碎屑锆石同位素年代学一样,可以用于研究物源区的地壳生长和构造演化历史。综合大兴安岭中北段大量单颗粒锆石的同位素年代学、岩石组合和构造特征研究,说明该地区经历了古元古代基底形成、新元古代陆壳生长、新元古代末期板块裂解,古生代期间古陆块间的俯冲、拉张、拼贴碰撞,早中生代碰撞造山、晚中生代造山后伸展垮塌、大陆边缘弧后伸展等复杂的构造演化历史;同时表明蒙古-鄂霍茨克洋在早中生代时期(晚三叠世)即已碰撞造山,大兴安岭中北段及额尔古纳地区发育大量与碰撞有关的花岗岩、混合岩及碰撞后伸展跨塌有关的构造和岩石产物(盆岭构造、滑脱构造、变质核杂岩、陆相双峰式火山岩和多金属成矿等),这对于重新认识研究区中生代多金属成矿的地球动力学背景提供了新的依据。     

北秦岭马河钼矿区花岗岩类的锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其地质意义

本文对北秦岭马河钼矿区桃官坪中-细粒二长花岗岩和西沟斑状二长花岗岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄测定,分别获得了157±1Ma(NSWD=13)和153±1Ma(NSWD=14)的谐和年龄,表明其为晚侏罗世侵入体。马河钼矿的形成与这两个侵入体密切相关,据此限定该钼矿床成矿时代略晚于157~153Ma,为侏罗世晚期成矿。桃官坪和西沟花岗岩具有高硅(68.12%~76.33%),富碱(Na₂O+K₂O=6.35%~10.38%)的特征,K₂O/Na₂O变化较大(0.91~1.89),A/CNK在0.85~1.14之间,为准铝质-弱过铝质高钾钙碱性系列。微量元素上富集U、Pb、Hf等高场强元素,亏损Rb、Ba、K、Sr、P等大离子亲石元素。稀土元素配分曲线为轻稀土相对富集的右倾型,多数具有弱的负铕异常(δEu=0.5~0.9),少数样品具有弱正铕异常(δEu=1.05~1.08)。与华北地块南缘与钼矿有关的花岗岩相比,二者均具有高硅、高钾、富碱的特征。但马河钼矿区成矿花岗岩比华北地块南缘的稍基性,这可能是导致马河钼矿的矿床规模比华北地块南缘较小的原因之一。     

吕梁地区古元古代花岗岩浆作用——来自同位素年代学的证据

古元古代吕梁变质地块位于华北克拉通中部构造带中段的西缘，其中有大量的古元古代花岗闪长质到花岗质的侵入体。根据花岗岩岩石组合和同位索地质年代学资料，吕梁地区古元古代的花岗岩浆事件可分四个阶段。在早期拉张阶段，2364Ma的盖家庄片麻状花岗岩侵位，并伴随有大陆边缘裂谷型的吕梁群的火山活动。拉张一挤压转化阶段的花岗岩浆活动，代表性产物是2150Ma左右的赤坚岭片麻状花岗闪长岩；中期的挤压阶段的花岗岩浆活动，代表性产物是2063Ma的道仁沟石英二长岩、1906Ma的惠家庄似斑状黑云母花岗岩和1848Ma的市庄细粒花岗闪长岩等；晚期的拉张阶段的花岗岩浆活动，主要有1805Ma的大草坪斑状花岗岩和1800Ma的芦芽山斑状花岗岩、云中山花岗岩等。锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年代学研究结果表明，以往划分的关帝山杂岩是由不同时期的花岗岩所组成，应以解体。可将其划分为挤压阶段的惠家庄岩体、市庄岩体和后造山阶段的大草坪岩体等。     

江西西华山花岗岩的演化与脉钨矿床的成矿关系

江西西华山脉钨矿床的形成与含钨花岗岩浆演化密切相关,“附加侵入”二云母或白云母碱性长石花岗岩的出现,对脉钨矿床的形成具有重要意义。脉钨矿床形成的全过程可概况为:从深熔—重熔花岗质岩浆产生→岩浆不断的分异并多次上侵→含钨岩浆的结晶分异(主侵入成岩)→碱质自交代→低熔岩浆的形成和气热分馏(附加侵入成岩)→细晶岩等的贯入和成矿流体最后从岩浆中彻底分离→成矿流体上升充填交代及其性质的演变→黑钨矿(长石)石英脉的形成。     

江西省钽铌矿床类型及时空分布规律

对本省钽铌矿床根据矿床成因采取四级划分原则进行了详细分类,按成矿作用分内生矿床和外生矿床二大类,按矿床成因及成矿地质条件分二个亚类,根据成矿阶段分七种矿床类型,根据与矿化有关的母岩体的标型矿物分十四种矿体类型,其中蚀变的花岗岩型钽铌矿床是主要类型,其次是伟晶岩型钽铌矿床,细晶岩型矿床因矿物细小,目前尚难利用.各种类型钽铌矿床(点)主要是位于构造隆起带内,分布于怀玉山、武功山、武夷山、于山和九岭等5个钽铌成矿带中.从华力西期至燕山期均有产出,其中以燕山中期为主要成矿期.     

博罗霍洛山北坡海西期控矿花岗岩成因类型

该区海西期控矿花岗岩分属两大碰撞期的两次侵位,据岩石化学、微量元素及稀土元素所提供的成因信息,每一碰撞期均以同构造碰撞带深熔Ⅰ型斜长花岗岩或花岗闪长岩小侵入体为先导,当碰撞高峰过后在造山晚期,才有S型二长花岗岩和花岗闪长岩岩基就位,无论是Ⅰ型还是S型均为壳源成因。
