The tectono-magmatic evolution of the West Junggar terrane (NW China) unravelled by U–Pb ages of detrital zircons in modern river sands

ABSTRACT

The West Junggar terrane (WJT) is an outstanding laboratory for studying the tectonic evolution of the Junggar–Balkhash Ocean, because it contains widespread Paleozoic magmatism in different tectonic settings. We attempt to reconstruct the tectono-magmatic evolution of WJT through U–pb analysis of detrital zircons from three modern river sand samples from the Harabura, Baibuxie, and Aletengyemule rivers in the Barleik Mountains of the central WJT. A total of 232 concordant spots show Th/U ratios of 0.14–1.69, typical of igneous origin, and they contain abundant Paleozoic (96%) and few Precambrian (4%) ages, with major age populations at 450–530, 400–430, 320–380, and 265–320 Ma. The first two groups may be derived from the early subduction- and accretion-related magmatic rocks of the WJT, whereas the third group is congruent with magmatic activities related to the final subduction and basin-filling processes within a framework of the remnant Junggar–Balkhash Ocean. By combining with the regional data, the last group of magmatic events is referred to as post-subduction magmatism. The missing Mesozoic–Cenozoic magmatism clearly indicates a pre-Permian closure for the Junggar–Balkhash Ocean, nearly coeval with the closure of other oceans in the southwestern Palaeo-Asian Ocean.     

再论印度—亚洲大陆碰撞的启动时间

利用沉积响应来识别印度－亚洲大陆碰撞启动时间是最直接和有效的方法之一。西藏仲巴错江顶群被甄别为碰撞型三角洲沉积，曲下组可能代表了碰撞启动时期的建造，藏南定日的海相白垩－古近系沉积演化，锶和碳同位素变化也支持两大陆碰撞启动时间大约在K／T界线时期，对比喜马拉雅西段碰撞启动时间并考虑大印度北缘失掉的宽度，提出两大陆量可能的碰撞启动时间是65Ma左右。

K-Ar dating of ring complexes and fault systems in Northern Kordofan,Sudan: evidence for independent magmatic and tectonic activity

From an area of brittle shearing and ring complexes in Northern Kordofan, Sudan 28 K-Ar ages were calculated to determine the geochronology of tectonic and magmatic events. The age results for deformational episodes are 560, 340 and 255 Ma, whereas alkaline magma was intruded at 280, 220 and 165 Ma. The incompatibility of age marks leads to the conclusion that magmatic and tectonic activity in this area have to be regarded as independent events. This holds true even when all dated intrusions from the entire region are compared with post-Pan-African continental tectonic features.     

Middle Carboniferous crustal melting in the Variscan Belt: New insights from U–Th–Pbtot. monazite and U–Pb zircon ages of the Montagne Noire Axial Zone (southern French Massif Central)

In France, the Devonian–Carboniferous Variscan orogeny developed at the expense of continental crust belonging to the northern margin of Gondwana. A Visean–Serpukhovian crustal melting has been recently documented in several massifs. However, in the Montagne Noire of the Variscan French Massif Central, which is the largest area involved in this partial melting episode, the age of migmatization was not clearly settled. Eleven U–Th–Pb_tot. ages on monazite and three U–Pb ages on associated zircon are reported from migmatites (La Salvetat, Ourtigas), anatectic granitoids (Laouzas, Montalet) and post-migmatitic granites (Anglès, Vialais, Soulié) from the Montagne Noire Axial Zone are presented here for the first time. Migmatization and emplacement of anatectic granitoids took place around 333–326 Ma (Visean) and late granitoids emplaced around 325–318 Ma (Serpukhovian). Inherited zircons and monazite date the orthogneiss source rock of the Late Visean melts between 560 Ma and 480 Ma. In migmatites and anatectic granites, inherited crystals dominate the zircon populations. The migmatitization is the middle crust expression of a pervasive Visean crustal melting event also represented by the “Tufs anthracifères” volcanism in the northern Massif Central. This crustal melting is widespread in the French Variscan belt, though it is restricted to the upper plate of the collision belt. A mantle input appears as a likely mechanism to release the heat necessary to trigger the melting of the Variscan middle crust at a continental scale.     

安徽庐枞盆地矾山酸性蚀变岩帽形成时代及其地质意义

酸性蚀变岩帽是岩浆热液流体和围岩在近地表相互作用的产物,是斑岩-浅成低温热液成矿系统的重要指标。发育在长江中下游成矿带庐枞盆地内的矾山酸性蚀变岩帽产出面积较大( 20km~2)。前人对该酸性蚀变岩帽中的明矾石矿床的地质和地化特征进行了相关研究,但详细的年代学研究工作尚未开展。为精确厘定矾山酸性蚀变岩帽的形成时代,本文开展了明矾石~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar法和金红石原位U-Pb法定年。矾山酸性蚀变岩帽中明矾石共有三种类型:ⅠA型明矾石主要呈交代蚀变发生在热液蚀变早阶段,与石英、粒状黄铁矿或赤铁矿、少量金红石共生;ⅠB型明矾石形成于热液蚀变晚阶段,主要呈叶片状集合体充填在开放空间中,与石英、星点状赤铁矿、粒状金红石集合体共生,少量金红石和赤铁矿沿明矾石解理裂隙分布;Ⅱ型明矾石是表生明矾石,主要呈细粒集合体沿裂隙分布,与赤铁矿、高岭石、地开石共生。三类明矾石形成于不同环境下:ⅠA和ⅠB型明矾石形成于岩浆热液环境下,是大矾山明矾石矿区的主要产物;Ⅱ型细粒明矾石分布在矾山酸性蚀变岩帽的非明矾石矿区,是表生环境下的产物。ⅠA型明矾石的~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar定年的坪年龄为131±6Ma,代表了矾山酸性蚀变岩帽的形成时代。与Ⅱ型明矾石密切共生的金红石U-Pb定年结果为32. 7±4Ma,在该期间,整个盆地内无岩浆活动发生,该年龄反映了矾山酸性蚀变岩帽经历表生氧化作用的时间。明矾石和金红石定年结果分别对应岩浆热液和表生明矾石的形成时代。在利用明矾石进行找矿工作时需先明确明矾石成因,矾山酸性蚀变岩帽中深成明矾石是下一阶段的找矿研究的基础。     

华北克拉通南缘鲁山太古宙基底的形成和演化

鲁山地区保存和出露很好的太古宙基底岩石。文章报道了2件魏庄片麻岩的原岩年龄分别为(2867±5)Ma和(2768±5)Ma,变质作用时代分别为(2775±6)Ma和(2775±56)Ma。结合已发表数据,魏庄片麻岩原岩形成时代可大致分为2867~2928 Ma和2765~2768 Ma两个阶段;榆树庄片麻岩原岩形成于2829~2897 Ma、2752~2778 Ma和2723 Ma;斜长角闪岩原岩形成于2838~2845 Ma、2747~2794 Ma和2730 Ma。尽管三者岩性上存在差异,但原岩形成的期次和时代相当,指示它们在成因上可能存在联系。鲁山多地陆续发现2.8~2.9 Ga的岩石,表明该地区存在一定规模的中太古代基底。通过与胶东、霍邱等地对比,笔者认为华北克拉通南缘可能存在中太古代的古老陆块,其重要的初生地壳生长事件发生在2.9~3.0 Ga。     

雅安地区青衣江流域第四纪阶地特征分析

雅安青衣江流域阶地非常发育。通过砾石的岩性、粒度、扁平面的统计,研究区阶地砾石主要来源于青衣江上游地区,在万古场古青衣江流向由北东改为向东,在阳坪现代青衣江流向一致为东南,流速有逐渐减小的趋势。根据阶地测年和阶面相对高程分析,从早更新世至全新世本区至少有7次构造抬升,万古场阶地最大抬升幅度达85 m,最大抬升速率为0.532 mm/a,阳坪阶地抬升幅度最大达到52 m,最大抬升速率为1.25 mm/a。     

Contribution of SHRIMP U–Pb zircon geochronology to unravelling the evolution of Brazilian Neoproterozoic fold belts

The South-American continent is constituted of three major geologic–geotectonic entities: the homonym platform (consolidated at the end of the Cambrian), the Andean chain (essentially Meso-Cenozoic) and the Patagonian terrains, affected by tectonism and magmatism through almost all of the Phanerozoic. The platform is constituted by a series of cratonic nuclei (pre-Tonian, fragments of the Rodinia fission) surrounded by a complex fabric of Neoproterozoic structural provinces.
