佛子岭岩群中的晋宁期深成岩带及其构造含意

在北淮阳带东段,原卢镇关岩群小溪河组火山—深成杂岩是最主要的岩浆活动带。作者们在追索北秦岭加里东期岛弧东延的过程中,对该火山—深成岩带北部四个侵入佛子岭岩群的变形花岗岩测定了单颗粒锆石U-Pb年龄,所得结果为744±9Ma和665±39Ma,属震旦纪,讨论了由此测定结果产生的佛子岭岩群的时代和对比、大别地块的构造归属以及晋宁期的构造环境和演化顺序等问题。     

山东岚山I型与A型复合片麻状变质花岗岩：年代学、地球化学及其构造指示意义

在山东日照岚山地区,出露有原岩为新元古代岩浆活动产物的I型与A型复合的片麻状变质花岗岩体,前者特征矿物组合为石英+钾长石+斜长石+黑云母,而后者则为石英+钾长石+斜长石+霓石+亚铁钠闪石+黑云母。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果表明,I型片麻状变质花岗岩的原岩成岩年龄为795±32Ma,而A型片麻状变质花岗岩的原岩年龄则为772±26Ma,二者均经历了早中生代的超高压变质作用,并在220Ma左右遭受强烈的角闪岩相退变质作用的改造。地球化学上,I型和A型片麻状变质花岗岩均具有高硅、富铁和贫镁的特征,但A型片麻状变质花岗岩更富碱贫铝,其铝饱和指数仅为0.88~0.94,表现为准铝质,而I型片麻状变质花岗岩则具有准铝-弱过铝的特点（A/CNK=0.94~1.01）。在微量和稀土元素方面,A型片麻状变质花岗岩较I型稀土总量高,且具有高场强元素富集的特征,富Ga,10⁴×Ga/Al值为2.77~3.89。二类片麻状变质花岗岩具有不同的Nd同位素组成,ε_Nd (t)值分别为-6.26 ~ -8.00和-3.73 ~ -5.20,指示它们应具不同的岩浆源区,元素结晶分异模拟显示二者岩浆演化的历程也存在差异。岚山片麻状变质花岗岩叠加有"弧"和"裂谷"双重岩浆活动的地球化学印记,它们与由地幔柱上隆所引发的主动裂谷背景下岩浆作用产物的特征存在明显差别。I型与A型复合片麻状变质花岗岩的产出指示扬子板块北东缘在片麻状变质花岗岩原岩形成时（795~770Ma）应处于弧后伸展引发的被动裂谷环境的初始阶段。     

Microfabrics of UHP metamorphic granites in the Dora Maira Massif, western Alps – no evidence of deformation at great depth

In the Dora Maira Massif, western Alps, essentially undeformed ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic granites (Brossasco granite) are embedded in, and locally grade into, granite gneisses or augengneisses and mylonites. In this study, the quartz microfabrics of the undeformed granites are compared against the augengneisses and mylonites in a representative number of samples from several locations. In the undeformed granites, the fine-grained quartz aggregates that formed from coesite upon decompression are characterized by a foam structure and random crystallographic orientation. In the deformed granites, the quartz microstructures and the crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) indicate deformation by dislocation creep. Most of the deformation of the granites (if not all) must have happened at a late stage during exhumation, after transformation of coesite to quartz, at greenschist facies conditions in the middle crust. The deformed granites provide no evidence of deformation during subduction, at (U)HP metamorphic conditions, and in the earlier stages of exhumation. The diameter of internally undeformed slices of continental crust subducted to and exhumed from about 100 km can exceed that of the presently exposed Brossasco granite, i.e. it can be on the kilometre scale.
