“大洋板块地层”的重建与意义——以藏南仲巴地区为例

混杂岩是古增生楔存在的标志之一,一般由枕状玄武岩、灰岩、放射虫硅质岩、硅质页岩、砂岩等混乱无序组成。目前"大洋板块地层"(OPS)运用放射虫地层学方法对混乱的增生楔断片进行重建取得了良好效果,并清晰地展示了大洋板块俯冲和洋底物质连续增生的历史。在西藏仲巴地区填图过程中,结合放射虫年代学分析鉴定结果,以OPS重建的思路和理论作为指导,重建了仲巴地区混杂岩的大洋板块地层,并恢复了该区域特提斯洋在洋中脊大洋板块增生至消亡的岩石序列,自下而上分别为侏罗纪海山玄武岩、海山覆盖物侏罗系—白垩系碳酸盐岩、海山周围沉积的侏罗系—白垩系放射虫硅质岩和硅质页岩,以及海沟附近的白垩系陆源碎屑岩等,为特提斯洋大洋板块俯冲的方向、持续时间和古大地构造环境提供了信息。

为深入了解中北部拉萨地块构造背景,利用LA-ICP-MS技术对洛布勒铁矿床成矿花岗闪长岩锆石进行了U-Th-Pb同位素测定,分析了隆格尔、洛布勒铁矿床侵入岩岩石地球化学和Sr-Nd-Pb同位素组成.获得洛布勒花岗闪长岩锆石U-Pb年龄为111.3±1.6 Ma(MSWD=0.61,n=9).隆格尔和洛布勒铁矿床侵入岩高硅(66.63%~69.02%和64.33%~64.82%)、富碱(全碱为5.91%~6.40%和5.81%~6.05%)、低A/CNK(0.91~0.97和0.94~0.95)、SiO2与P2O5含量负相关;稀土元素总量较低(∑REE为123.11×10^-6~148.83×10^-6和96.17×10^-6~101.92×10^-6),球粒陨石标准化配分模式图右倾,弱Eu负异常(0.70~0.82和0.79~0.81),富集大离子亲石元素Rb、Th、U、K、Pb等,亏损Ba和高场强元素Nb、Ta、Sr、Ti等.隆格尔花岗岩全岩和斜长石(206Pb/204Pb)t为18.474和18.626,(207Pb/204Pb)t为15.657和15.722,(208Pb/204Pb)t为38.592和39.145,(87Sr/86Sr)i为0.704 757 6和0.707 047 3,(143Nd/144Nd)i为0.512 281和0.512 339,εNd(t)为-4.13和-2.99,tDM2为1.15 Ga和1.24 Ga;洛布勒花岗闪长岩(206Pb/204Pb)t比值为18.281,(207Pb/204Pb)t比值为15.616,(208Pb/204Pb)t比值为38.369,(87Sr/86Sr)i为0.706 551 4;(143Nd/144Nd)i为0.512 309,εNd(t)为-3.62,tDM2为1.20 Ga.结果表明,措勤-隆格尔铁矿床成矿侵入岩为中钾-高钾钙碱性岩I型花岗岩,为早白垩世晚期岛弧岩浆活动产物,岩浆源于地壳物质部分熔融,岩浆演化过程经历了壳幔岩浆混合和围岩混染.结合前人研究成果,通过对比白垩纪中北部拉萨地块和南部羌塘地块成矿事件的差异,提出中北部拉萨地块113±3 Ma岩浆活动和Fe(-Cu)成矿事件与向南俯冲的班公湖-怒江洋壳发生断离有关.     

Radiolarian‐based study on the fabric and the formation process of the Early Cretaceous mélange near Zhongba,Yarlung–Tsangpo Suture Zone,southern Tibet

The Yarlung–Tsangpo Suture Zone (YTSZ), as the southernmost and youngest among the sutures that subdivides the Tibetan Plateau into several east–west trending blocks, marks where the Neo‐Tethys was consumed as the Indian continent moved northward and collided against the Eurasian continent. Mélanges in the YTSZ represent the remnants of the oceanic plate through subduction and collision. Mélanges are characterized by a highly sheared volcanoclastic or siliceous mudstone matrix including blocks of chert, claystone, and basalt. Detailed radiolarian analyses are conducted on the mélange near Zhongba County. Macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic observations are combined in order to elucidate the relationships among age, lithology, and structure of blocks in the mélange. Reconstructed ocean plate stratigraphy includes Lower Jurassic limestone within the chert sequence accumulated at a depth near the CCD (Unit 2), Upper Jurassic thin‐bedded chert interbedded with claystone deposited in the wide ocean basin (Unit 3), and Lower Cretaceous chert with siliceous mudstone (Units 4 and 5), representing the middle parts of ocean plate stratigraphy. The results highlight the fabric of brecciated chert on mesoscopic scale, which is thought to be due to localized overpressure. The formation of mesoscopic and microscopic block‐in‐matrix fabrics in the mélange is proposed for the chert and siliceous mudstone bearing different extents of consolidation and competence during the progressive deformation of accreted sediments at shallow‐level subduction.

Early Triassic Volcanic Rocks in the Western Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone: Implications for the Opening of the Neo-Tethys Ocean

In this study, zircon U-Pb dating of volcanic rocks from the Zhongba ophiolite of the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) in southern Xizang (Tibet) yielded an age of 247 ± 3 Ma. According to whole rock geochemical and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic data, the Early Triassic samples could be divided into two groups: Group 1 with P-MORB affinity, showing initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios of 0.70253–0.70602, εNd(t) values of 4.2–5.3, (206Pb/204Pb)t ratios of 16.353–18.222, (207Pb/204Pb)t ratios of 15.454–15.564, and (208Pb/204Pb)t ratios of 35.665–38.136; Group 2 with OIB affinity, showing initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios of 0.70249–0.70513, εNd(t) values of 4.4–4.9, (206Pb/204Pb)t ratios of 17.140–18.328, (207Pb/204Pb)t ratios of 15.491–15.575, and (208Pb/204Pb)t ratios of 36.051–38.247. Group 2 rocks formed by partial melting of the mantle source enriched by a former plume, and assimilated continental crustal material during melt ascension. The formation of Group 1 rocks corresponds to the mixing of OIB melts, with the same components as Group 2 and N-MORBs. The Zhongba Early Triassic rocks belong to the continental margin type ophiolite and formed in the continental–oceanic transition zone during the initial opening of the Neo-Tethys in southern Xizang (Tibet).     

Late Devonian OIB alkaline gabbro in the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone: Remnants of the Paleo-Tethys?

The Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) is believed to be composed of material largely derived from the destruction of the Neo-Tethys that occurred from early Mesozoic to early Cenozoic. We report here geochronological and petrological data obtained for newly discovered alkaline gabbro blocks embedded in a mélange zone of the western YZSZ. Single zircon U–Pb analyses from one representative gabbro sample by SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) yielded a combined crystallization age of about 363.7 ± 1.7 Ma (1σ). In situ Hf isotopic analyses yielded ε_Hf(t) values of + 2.6 to + 5.5, suggesting an enriched mantle source. All of the gabbro samples show typical Ocean Island Basalt (OIB) affinity with little or no continental crust contamination. They also display strong geochemical similarities with the Hawaii basalts and the Xigaze seamount basalts suggestive of their intra-oceanic setting. These observations, in combination with the Early Carboniferous layered gabbros reported at Luobusa, indicate that these rocks could represent remnants of the Paleo-Tethys. We propose that a branch ocean separating the Western Qiangtang terrane and the Lhasa terrane from the Gondwana continent might have been present during the Late Devonian and the Early Carboniferous, providing new constrains on the configuration of Paleo-Tethys in Tibetan Plateau during early Late Paleozoic.

大巴山南部房县东河辉绿玢岩LA ICP MS 锆石U Pb测年及其构造意义

大巴山构造带位于秦岭造山带和扬子板块的过渡部位,形成于印支-燕山期,定型于喜山期。前人对北大巴山地区基性岩年代学已有研究,但对大巴山南部地区基性岩却很少高精度年龄报道。本文对大巴山南部房县东河地区的辉绿玢岩脉进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄测定,结果表明,东河辉绿玢岩形成于439.3Ma,相当于早志留世。与北大巴山镇坪地区辉绿岩,紫阳-岚皋地区基性岩及火山岩形成时代基本一致。结合前人的研究结果表明,大巴山南部地区在早志留世处于张裂状态,东河地区的基性岩为岩石圈处于拉张状态下大陆裂谷作用产物。此处439.3Ma的年龄值,也说明此时扬子板块北缘普遍处于拉张的构造环境,代表了在早志留世大巴山南部裂谷盆地的伸展裂陷幅度达到最大。本次研究所获得的年龄数据,确定了围岩竹山组形成不晚于早志留世,限定地层时代为寒武纪-奥陶纪。
