藏南雅鲁藏布江结合带东段琼结杂岩早白垩世变辉绿岩地球化学特征及其地质意义

琼结杂岩(琼结蛇绿构造混杂岩)是1∶5万区域地质调查新划分的填图单元,大体相当于1∶25万地质图中朗县蛇绿混杂岩的一部分,位于雅鲁藏布江结合带东段,主要由基质、块体两大部分组成,其中块体中蛇绿岩残片主要由变辉长岩、变辉绿岩和变玄武岩组成。本文通过详细的野外工作,对洛林地区琼结杂岩中的变辉绿岩进行了LAICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年以及地球化学研究,获得的岩浆结晶年龄为111Ma。全岩的主量及微量元素地球化学特征显示,SiO_2含量为46. 06%～49. 27%,具有高Fe OT(平均为11. 71%)、高钛(Ti O_2平均为1. 30%)、高Mg#(Mg#平均为59. 39)等特点;轻、重稀土元素具较弱分馏,LREE/HREE比值为1. 83～2. 05,(La/Yb)N比值平均为1. 35,球粒陨石标准化稀土元素配分型式显示为平坦型,基本不具Eu异常(δEu=0. 81～1. 02),富集高场强元素(HFSE)(Nb、Ta、U、Th)、亏损大离子亲石元素(LILE)(Ba、Sr),呈现出正常洋中脊玄武岩(N-MORB)的地球化学特性。岩浆来自正常洋中脊玄武岩区域,为尖晶石二辉橄榄岩10%～20%左右部分熔融的产物;岩浆上升过程中未受到明显的地壳混染。结合区域地质资料,本文认为琼结杂岩变辉绿岩形成于典型洋中脊构造环境,代表典型的洋中脊残留,揭示出雅鲁藏布江缝合带东段蛇绿岩形成于晚三叠世中期—早白垩世晚期。     

North-west propagation of the Grenville orogen: Grenvillian structure and metamorphism near Key Harbour,Georgian Bay,Ontario, Canada*

Abstract We report structural and metamorphic data from a c. 25-km transect across the eastern Grenville Front Tectonic Zone (GFTZ) to the Britt domain at the northern end of Georgian Bay near Key Harbour, Ontario. Constrasting Grenvillian structural and fabric elements characterize the eastern GFTZ, northern Britt domain and a narrow Transition Zone between them. Moderately to steeply dipping foliations with strong down-dip lineations in all three divisions appear to be associated with NW-directed thrusting. In the Transition Zone and northern Britt domain, early S = L fabrics with steep lineations are overprinted by younger structures (S > L) with shallow, SE-SSE-plunging lineations in which sparse, dominantly (but not exclusively) normal-sense kinematic indicators are recognized. Pressure and temperature estimates from Grenvillian metamorphic assemblages in metadi-abase indicate that conditions of P ± 12 kbar and T c 800° C were achieved before or during the thrust-related deformation, with P-T-t paths that indicate near-isothermal decompression to P c. 4 kbar and T c. 700° C. Correlation of fabric elements with points on the P-T-t paths suggests that exhumation occurred during two stages, the first associated with thrusting (≥1035 Ma) and the second with extension and thrusting (pre-1003 Ma). The GFTZ contains steeply to moderately dipping, thrust-related fabrics and lacks shallow, extensional structures; the latest episode of thrusting in the GFTZ is inferred to have taken place at 990-980 Ma. The data are interpreted in terms of a tectonic model involving two stages of propagation of the Grenville orogen towards its foreland (≥1035 Ma and ≥980 Ma), with an intervening period of extension, although the tectonic regime probably remained compressional on the scale of the orogen.     

Continental basalts in the accretionary complexes of the South-west Japan Arc: Constraints from geochemical and Sr and Nd isotopic data of metadiabase

Abstract The Ryoke Belt is one of the important terranes in the South‐west Japan Arc (SJA). It consists mainly of late Cretaceous granitoid rocks, meta‐sedimentary rocks (Jurassic accretionary complexes) and mafic rocks (gabbros, metadiabases; late Permian–early Jurassic). Initial ?_Sr (+ 25– + 59) and ?_Nd (? 2.1–?5.9) values of the metadiabases cannot be explained by crustal contamination but reflect the values of the source material. These values coincide with those of island arc basalt (IAB), active continental margin basalt (ACMB) and continental flood basalt (CFB). Spiderdiagrams and trace element chemistries of the metadiabases have CFB‐signature, rather than those of either IAB or ACMB. The Sr–Nd isotope data, trace element and rare earth element chemistries of the metadiabases indicate that they result from partial melting of continental‐type lithospheric mantle. Mafic granulite xenoliths in middle Miocene volcanic rocks distributed throughout the Ryoke Belt were probably derived from relatively deep crust. Their geochemical and Sr–Nd isotopic characteristics are similar to the metadiabases. This suggests that rocks, equivalent geochemically to the metadiabases, must be widely distributed at relatively deep crustal levels beneath a part of the Ryoke Belt. The geochemical and isotopic features of the metadiabases and mafic granulites from the Ryoke Belt are quite different from those of mafic rocks from other terranes in the SJA. These results imply that the Ryoke mafic rocks (metadiabase, mafic granulite) were not transported from other terranes by crustal movement but formed in situ. Sr–Nd isotopic features of late Cretaceous granitoid rocks occurring in the western part of the Japanese Islands are coincident with those of the Ryoke mafic rocks. Such an isotopic relation between these two rocks suggests that a continental‐type lithosphere is widely represented beneath the western part of the Japanese Islands.
