K—Ar Geochronology and Evolution of Cenozoic Volcanic Rocks in Eastrn China

Cenozoic volcanic rocks widespread in eastern China constitute an important part of the circum-Pacific volcanic belt.This paper presents more than 150K-Ar dates and a great deal of petrochemical analysis data from the Cenozoic volcanic rocks distributed in Tengchong,China‘s southeast coast,Shandong,Hebei,Nei Monggol and Northeast China.An integrated study shows that ubiquitous but uneven volcanic activities prevailed from the Eogene to the Holocene,characterized as being multi-eqisodic and multicycled.For example,in the Paleocene(67-58Ma),Eocene(57-37.5Ma),Miocene(22-18,16-19Ma),Pliocene(8-3Ma),and Early Pleistocene-Middle Pleistocene(1.2-0.5Ma) there were upsurges of volcanism,while in the Oligocene there was a repose period.In space,the older Eogene volcanic rocks are distributed within the region or in the central part of the NE-NNE-striking fault depression,while the younger Neogene and Quaternary volcanic rocks are distributed in the eastern and western parts.Petrologically,they belong essentially to tholeiite-series and alkali-series basalts,with alkalinity in the rocks increasing from old to youg.The above regularities are controlled by both global plate movement and regional inherent tectonic pattern.     

Collision and thermal history of Indian-Sundaland-Eurasian plates as implicated by40Ar/39Ar age spectra of granodiorites

⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau ages of biotite, plagioclase, K-feldspar and hornblende from the Biluoxueshan and Lincang plutons in the three-river area of Yunnan and the Quxu pluton in the Gandise belt of Xizang indicate that the three plutons were emplaced at 420, 234 and 43.4 Ma, respectively. Based on the study of closure temperatures and thermal histories, it is shown that the Lincang and Biluoxueshan plutons experienced the same thermodynamic event during 85–90 Ma, temporally representing the collision between the Sundaland and Eurasian plates, and that the Quxu pluton was uplifted at a much faster rate during 40–44 Ma(2.6 mm/a), marking the collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates.     

40Ar/39 Ar isotopic ages of Qitianling granite and their geologic implications

This paper has reported the first application of ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹ Ar dating to orthoclase from Qitianling granite. The resultant plateau ages yielded by three orthoclase specimens 2KL-17, 99LQ-2 and 2KL-31 (Note: The last one was taken from the part of granite which had been attributed to Cailing super-unit of the Indosinian Period by the former researchers) collected from the said granite are (139.57±2.79) Ma, (140.55±2.81) Ma and (144.91±2.90) Ma respectively. The above-mentioned ages represent the closed ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹ Ar age of the orthoclase. The consistency in age dating results, the similarity in geochemical characteristics and rock textures, and the NW-SE orientation of orthoclase phenocrysts almost throughout the granite, provide evidence for the intimate relationship between the Furong super-unit and the Cailing super-unit that form the main part of the granite, suggesting that they are products of comagmatic conjugate differentiation during the Late Jurassic. This paper also makes a comparison between the Qitianling granite and the Qianlishan granite.

河南洛宁太华岩群斜长角闪岩的锆石^207Pb／^206Pb和角闪石^40Ar／^39Ar年龄

运用单颗粒锆石逐层蒸发法和角闪石40Ar/39Ar阶段加热法研究了河南洛宁太华岩群斜长角闪岩的同位素年龄.获得锆石207Pb/206Pb年龄为2675±2 Ma,角闪石40Ar/39Ar坪年龄和等时线年龄分别为2372.98±47.46 Ma和2349.10±46.98 Ma.锆石207Pb/206Pb年龄代表了斜长角闪岩原岩的形成时代,而角闪石40Ar/39Ar年龄则为其变质时代,与Sm-Nd等时线年龄(2351±103Ma)相一致.上述年龄数据表明河南洛宁地区太华岩群形成于新太古代,在古元古代遭受过一次角闪岩相变质作用.     

桑干地区高压麻粒岩中石榴石和斜长石的连续激光探针~(40)Ar~-~(39)Ar等时年龄及其地质意义

采用微区激光探针４０Ａｒ－３９Ａｒ定年方法, 对华北桑干地区高压基性麻粒岩中变质石榴石和斜长石直接进行了原位微区年代测定。石榴石变斑晶是高压麻粒岩相变质作用形成的矿物,石榴石周围后成合晶反应边组合中的斜长石是石榴石减压分解的产物。石榴石斑晶的４０Ａｒ－３９Ａｒ等时线年龄为２５１０ Ｍａ, 证明高压变质作用发生在太古宙末。斜长石４０Ａｒ－３９Ａｒ等时线年龄为１９６８Ｍａ, 代表石榴石在中压麻粒岩相条件下分解的时代。它们之间年龄相差大于５００Ｍａ, 说明高压麻粒岩可能没有经历近等温减压的ＰＴ轨迹。后成合晶组合很可能代表中压麻粒岩相变质作用的叠加。这一结果对探讨华北克拉通桑干地区早期地壳的构造演化具有重要意义。

40Ar(40Ar＊＋40ArE)、39Ar释气特征与过剩氩的甄别及年代学意义

对具有不同地质历史背景的3类⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法样品中的⁴⁰Ar和³⁹Ar释出特征进行对比,研究结果表明,⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法样品中的⁴⁰Ar、³⁹Ar释气曲线主要表现为以下3种形式:完全重合型、过剩氩型和不规则型。当⁴⁰Ar与³⁹Ar释气曲线呈完全重合型时,⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法全熔年龄代表了岩体的形成年龄;当⁴⁰Ar、³⁹Ar释气曲线是过剩氩型时,⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法全熔年龄则大于岩体的形成年龄;当⁴⁰Ar与³⁹Ar释气曲线呈不规则型时,表明样品中的放射成固氩(⁴⁰Ar^*)发生了丢失,其全熔年龄一般较岩体的形成年龄小。对于⁴⁰Ar、³⁹Ar释气曲线呈过剩氩型的样品,⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法年龄谱通常呈马鞍形,且马鞍形年龄谱的底部年龄一般都具有地质意义,代表了岩体的形成年龄。对于⁴⁰Ar、³⁹Ar释气曲线呈不规则型的样品,对其年龄谱的解释应持谨慎态度。
