Thermal evolution of an ancient subduction interface revealed by Lu–Hf garnet geochronology,Halilbağı Complex (Anatolia)

The thermal structure of subduction zones exerts a major influence on deep-seated mechanical and chemical processes controlling arc magmatism, seismicity, and global element cycles. Accretionary complexes exposed inland may comprise tectonic blocks with contrasting pressure–temperature (P–T) histories, making it possible to investigate the dynamics and thermal evolution of former subduction interfaces. With this aim, we present new Lu–Hf geochronological results for mafic rocks of the Halilba?? Complex (Anatolia) that evolved along different thermal gradients. Samples include a lawsonite–epidote blueschist, a lawsonite–epidote eclogite, and an epidote eclogite (all with counter-clockwise P–T paths), a prograde lawsonite blueschist with a “hairpin”-type P–T path, and a garnet amphibolite from the overlying sub-ophiolitic metamorphic sole. Equilibrium phase diagrams suggest that the garnet amphibolite formed at ～0.6–0.7 GPa and 800–850 °C, whereas the prograde lawsonite blueschist records burial from 2.1 GPa and 420 °C to 2.6 GPa and 520 °C. Well-defined Lu–Hf isochrons were obtained for the epidote eclogite (92.38 ± 0.22 Ma) and the lawsonite–epidote blueschist (90.19 ± 0.54 Ma), suggesting rapid garnet growth. The lawsonite–epidote eclogite (87.30 ± 0.39 Ma) and the prograde lawsonite blueschist (ca. 86 Ma) are younger, whereas the garnet amphibolite (104.5 ± 3.5 Ma) is older. Our data reveal a consistent trend of progressively decreasing geothermal gradient from granulite-facies conditions at ～104 Ma to the epidote-eclogite facies around 92 Ma, and the lawsonite blueschist-facies between 90 Ma and 86 Ma. Three Lu–Hf garnet dates (between 92 Ma and 87 Ma) weighted toward the growth of post-peak rims (as indicated by Lu distribution in garnet) suggest that the HP/LT rocks were exhumed continuously and not episodically. We infer that HP/LT metamorphic rocks within the Halilba?? Complex were subjected to continuous return flow, with “warm” rocks being exhumed during the tectonic burial of “cold” ones. Our results, combined with regional geological constraints, allow us to speculate that subduction started at a transform fault near a mid-oceanic spreading centre. Following its formation, this ancient subduction interface evolved thermally over more than 15 Myr, most likely as a result of heat dissipation rather than crustal underplating.

On the Lu-Hf Isotope Geochemistry of Silicate Rocks

This paper reviews the history (TIMS, hot‐SIMS, MC‐ICP‐MS), significance, geochemical behaviour and current uncertainties (λ¹⁷⁶ Lu, Hf‐Nd Bulk Silicate Earth) surrounding the Lu‐Hf isotope system, and thus marks two decades of its application to geochemical problems. An appendix further presents (a) improvements to the original chemistry protocol of Blichert‐Toft et al. (1997) for application to Mg‐rich samples and (b) a compilation of previously published and new Hf isotope determinations by MC‐ICP‐MS for a set of international rock reference materials. Prior to the advent of multiple‐collector plasma source mass spectrometry (MC‐ICP‐MS), routine analysis of the Lu‐Hf isotope system developed only slowly because of the extreme difficulty of measuring Hf isotope compositions with thermal ionisation mass spectrometry, caused by the very high first ionisation potential of Hf. However, Hf isotope compositions can be measured relatively easily using MC‐ICP‐MS and this new technique now provides reproducible measurements at high precision regardless of the matrix from which Hf is separated. Of the commonly used long‐lived radiogenic isotope systems, only the Sm‐Nd and Lu‐Hf isotope systems are unaffected by parent/daughter fractionations related to volatile nebular processes and core formation. While other systems (Rb‐Sr, U‐Th‐Pb, Re‐Os) may also be used to investigate the chemical evolution of the Earth, Moon, Mars and parent bodies of differentiated meteorites, the larger uncertainties in their bulk chemical and isotopic values limit their application to determine geochemical budgets and assess planetary mantle‐crust evolution. In the study of garnet‐bearing rocks, both for dating purposes and as an isotopic tracer for source provenance and mantle processes, the Lu‐Hf isotope system likewise is of major interest because of the high partition coefficient of Lu compared to Hf for garnet with respect to other minerals. Furthermore, the larger Lu/Hf fractionation compared to Sm/Nd during melting beneath ridges produces proportionally higher Lu/Hf in the residue and faster in‐growth of a radiogenic Hf isotopic signature (compared to Nd), which may help shed light on the dynamics of mantle melting. While the chemistry protocol and mass spectrometric technique for high‐precision Lu‐Hf isotope analysis have been resolved in satisfactory ways over the past five years, more accurate determination of the decay constant for ¹⁷⁶ Lu, at present known with a precision of only about 4%, still needs to be completed and a consensus reached on which value to use for future Lu‐Hf isotope studies. Although the current combined Lu‐Hf and Sm‐Nd Bulk Silicate Earth parameters are plagued by possible incompatibilities in chondrite selection and potential interlaboratory biases, a more accurate set of values may not be readily established owing to heterogeneities in the isotopic composition of chondrites that far exceed present analytical accuracy.     

A Preliminary Appraisal of Seven Natural Zircon Reference Materials for In Situ Hf Isotope Determination

There is a growing need for new zircon reference materials for in situ Hf-isotope analysis by laser ablation-multicollector inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS). In this contribution we document the results of a preliminary investigation of seven natural zircons, conducted in order to test their suitability in this regard. Solution MC-ICP-MS data on separated Lu and Hf fractions provided reference compositional data while the results of ca. 750 in situ LA-MC-ICP-MS analyses allowed assessment of potential micrometre-scale heterogeneity. On the basis of these analyses and additional relevant considerations such as availability, size and (Lu)Yb/Hf ratio, we suggest that, of the currently available zircons, Temora-2 and Mud Tank are most likely to provide robust reference materials for Hf isotope determinations both at the present time and into the future. The former has the advantage of also being well-characterised for U-Th-Pb systematics and suitable for in situ age determination, while the latter is the most readily available and is of very large grain size. Additional materials such as BR266, and 91500, although limited in supply, show more consistent Lu/Hf ratios and are thus of use in monitoring elemental fractionation during ICP-MS analysis.     

Bioavailability of dissolved organic phosphorus compounds to typical harmful dinoflagellate Prorocentrum donghaiense Lu

The bioavailability of dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) compounds to harmful alga Prorocentrum donghaiense Lu and its alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) were studied. Results showed that P. donghaiense could utilize the test DOP compounds such as glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) to sustain its growth. Nutrition between the test DOP compounds and orthophosphate was comparable. P. donghaiense could utilize intracellular phosphorus to sustain growth under depletion of dissolved phosphorus. Variation of APA in different test DOP compounds was addressed; the controlling mechanism of APA in different DOP media was discussed.

鲁迅与顾琅早期地质作品新论——《中国地质略论》与《中国矿产志》知识来源考

鲁迅在日本留学期间曾于1903年在《浙江潮》发表《中国地质略论》一文,1906年与同到日本留学的顾琅合作出版《中国矿产志》(附《中国矿产全图》)一书。它们在中国地质学史上均具有开创性并产生重要影响,特别是《中国矿产志》被认为是中国第一部地质矿产著作。本文从中日地质学交流的角度,结合新发现的史料,通过文本对比分析,指出《中国地质略论》和《中国矿产志》均是吸收当时日本的一些地学著作编写而成。《中国地质略论》的地史学内容主要来源于佐藤传藏《地质学》(1898)一书,有关煤炭内容以及中国煤田分布图则来自日本海军少将肝付兼行发表在《太阳》(1903)杂志上的《东方之煤源》一文;《中国矿产志》的导言部分是在《中国地质略论》的基础上拓展而成,增补的内容则参考了矢津昌永的《清国地志》(1905)、横山又次郎的《地质学教科书》(1903)以及石川成章的《地球发达史》(1904)等著作,本言部分主要参考了日本地质调查所1902年发表的《清国及韩国主要矿产颁布图说明——附清国主要矿产地名表》;《中国矿产全图》则是顾琅依据日本《清国主要矿产分布图》绘制而成。《中国地质略论》和《中国矿产志》(附《中国矿产全图》...

鄂尔多斯盆地南部旬宜地区中生界延长组天然气地球化学特征及气源分析

鄂尔多斯盆地旬宜地区延长组主研究区几乎全部为产油井,而位于西南部的旬19井、郎字号等多口井见天然气流,这与延长组主研究区揭示的规律存在矛盾,气体来源不明。根据天然气组分、C同位素、C同位素序列等特征,分析认为采集的气样地球化学特征与古生界煤型气存在较大差别,为热成因气中低成熟度阶段的油型伴生气,气源单一,来自于中生界长7烃源岩。因此,旬宜研究区延长组天然气勘探具有一定的潜力,是值得重点关注的对象。
