The Late Triassic I–Type Granites from the Longmu Co–Shuanghu Suture Zone in the interior of Tibetan Plateau, China: Petrogenesis and Implication for Slab Break–Off

The Jiangaidarina granitic mass(JM) is an important part of the magmatic belt in Longmu CoShuanghu Suture Zone(LSSZ) in the central Tibetan Plateau. An integrated research involving wholerock geochemistry, zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions was carried out to define the timing, genesis and tectonic setting of the JM. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages have been obtained ranging from 210 to 215 Ma, rather than the Early Jurassic as previously thought. Fifteen granite samples contain hornblendes and show a negative correlation between P_2 O_5 and SiO_2, indicating that the JM is an I-type granite. All the granites are enriched in LREE relative to HREE, with negative Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu*=0.56-0.81), and have similar trace elements patterns, with depletion of Ba, Nb, Sr and P. These suggest that the JM was fractionated, and this is also proved by the characteristic of negative correlations between oxide elements(TiO_2, MgO, FeOt, MnO, CaO) and SiO_2. Almost all ε_(Hf)(t) values of the granites are between-10.3 and-5.8, implying that the JM has a crustal source intimately related with the South Qiangtang Block(SQB), except for one(+10.2), showing a minor contribution from mantle source.Moreover, relatively low Na_2 O/K_2 O ratios(0.42-0.93) and high A/CNK values(0.91-1.50) reflect that the JM was predominately derived from the medium-high potassium basaltic crust, interacted with greywacke. Our new geochemical data and geochronological results imply that the Late Triassic magmas were generated in a post-collisional tectonic setting, probably caused by slab break-off of the Longmu Co-Shuanghu Tethyan Ocean(LSTO). This mechanism caused the asthenosphere upwelling, formed extension setting, offered an enormous amount of heat, and provided favorable conditions for emplacement of voluminous felsic magmas. Furthermore, the LSTO could be completely closed during the Middle Triassic, succeed by continental collision and later the slab broke off in the Late Triassic.

重点报道了藏北双湖地区中侏罗统海相油页岩的生物标志化合物特征,首次在该层位油页岩中检出丰富的正烷烃、类异戊二烯烷烃、萜类化合物及甾类化合物。正烷烃图谱呈单峰形,nC₁₅、nC₁₆或nC₁₇为主峰碳,轻烃组份占有绝对优势,OEP值 0.93～ 1.0 1,无明显的奇偶碳数优势分布;Pr/Ph值为 0.77～ 1.5 9,在剖面序列中呈波动分布,显示弱植烷优势或姥鲛烷优势;藿烷以C₃₀ 占优势,萜烷相对丰度五环三萜烷 >三环萜烷 >四环萜烷;规则甾烷∑ (C₂₇+C₂₈) >∑C₂₉,∑C₂₇/∑C₂₉值为 0.79～ 1.2 0,在剖面序列中下部C₂₇甾烷略占优势,上部C₂₉甾烷略占优势,重排甾烷C₂₇/规则甾烷C₂₇值为 0.5 1～ 3.6 3,在剖面序列中具有显著的波动性,同时检出了少量孕甾烷和 4-甲基甾烷。有机质母质构成中,既有丰富的藻类等低等水生生物,可能还有一定比例陆生高等植物输入混合的特点。油页岩处于成熟阶段,整个油页岩剖面序列具有一致的热演化程度。剖面中部油页岩具有极高的原始生产力,氧化-还原条件也是控制油页岩TOC和沥青“A”含量在剖面垂向变化的重要因素.     

羌塘盆地双湖地区曲色组冷泉碳酸盐岩及其地质意义

羌塘盆地南部双湖地区曲色组地层发育大量碳酸盐岩结核,这些结核多呈丘状、椭球状、透镜状、似层状、脉状、树枝状产出。其物质组分主要为泥微晶碳酸盐矿物,少量粘土矿物、石英及草莓状、半自形黄铁矿等。草莓状黄铁矿平均粒径在5.0μm左右,内部可见葵花状构造。发育凝块状、气孔状和渗漏孔等特殊构造。产双壳类、菊石类、蠕虫状或树枝状生物及超微生物化石,生物密度极高。碳同位素明显负偏,硫同位素则明显正偏,其特征与现代海底天然气水合物的渗漏、释放所形成的冷泉碳酸盐岩机理一致,因而推测为古代海底天然气渗漏喷发形成。大量海底天然气泉口的存在,可能表明羌塘盆地双湖地区早侏罗世大洋缺氧事件与海底天然气水合物喷发存在极大关联。

藏北羌塘高原双湖地表热源强度及地表水热平衡

青藏高原加热及地—气间物质能量交换对我国、东亚乃至全球的天气和气候系统都有着非常重要的作用,受客观条件限制,藏北羌塘高原腹地尚无系统的地—气相互作用过程观测。本文利用中国科学院羌塘双湖极端环境综合观测研究站2011年10月-2012年9月一年的自动气象站观测数据,分析了年内季节和日尺度下双湖地区地面加热场特征,探讨了地表能量平衡及水量平衡特征,结果表明：(1) 双湖地区年内地表热源强度基本为正,年平均热源强度为79.5 W/m²;然而地表热源强度呈现明显的季节和日变化规律,夏季热源强度大于冬季,白天热源强度大于夜间。夏季地表白天为强热源,夜间为弱热源,冬季地表白天为强热源,夜间为冷源。(2) 双湖地区地表能量分配季节变化明显,7、8月份地—气间主要以潜热交换为主,其他月份主要以感热方式进行热量交换,年平均上主要以感热交换为主,年均感热通量和潜热通量分别为55.4 W/m²和24.1 W/m²,波文比为2.3。(3) 双湖地区降水和蒸发皆主要集中在6-9月,年降雨量为332 mm,年蒸发量为312.9 mm,年水量差为19.1 mm,地表水量存在不平衡现象。(4) 双湖地区地表蒸发力很强,年潜在蒸发为1888.2 mm,年均湿润指数为0.17,属典型半干旱气候特征。     

Lawsonite- and glaucophane-bearing blueschists from NW Qiangtang,northern Tibet,China: mineralogy,geochemistry, geochronology,and tectonic implications

The occurrence of high-pressure (HP) blueschists within the central Qiangtang terrane of northern Tibet has a significant bearing on plate-suturing processes. In order to contribute to the ongoing debate on whether the central Qiangtang metamorphic belt represents an in situ suture within the Qiangtang terrane, we examined lawsonite- and glaucophane-bearing blueschists from the northwest Qiangtang area (84° 10′–85° 30′ E, 34°10′–34° 45′ N). All studied rocks are metapelites, metasandstones, or metabasalts, characterized by lawsonite + glaucophane + phengite, lawsonite + glaucophane + epidote + albite + quartz, or glaucophane + phengite + quartz assemblages. The meta-mafic rocks contain very high TiO₂ and low Al₂O₃ contents. They are typified by abundant ferromagnesian trace elements, and an absence of Eu anomalies and Nb–Ta deletions; all the above features indicate that these mafic rocks represent oceanic island basalt (OIB) protoliths. Most of the metasediments contain high SiO₂, moderate Al₂O₃ + K₂O, and low TiO₂ + Na₂O. They display high CIA (chemical index of alteration) values (74% ± 5%) and distinctly negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.64 ± 0.05). This, along with their high field strength elemental characteristics, indicates that they were deposited in a passive continental margin environment, intercalated with OIB-type basalts. We estimate the peak metamorphic conditions for these blueschists as T = 330–415°C and P = 9–11.5 kbar. This HP event occurred at ca. 242 Ma, indicated by a well-defined ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau age for glaucophane. Retrograde metamorphism occurred at T = 280–370°C, P = 6.5–9.5 kbar, t = ca. 207 Ma (⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of phengite). Therefore, a cold subduction (geotherm ～8°C/km) attended the passive continental margin during the Triassic when the eastern Qiangtang collided with the western Qiangtang. The northwest Qiangtang HP metamorphic belt is an extension of the central Qiangtang metamorphic belt that defines the suture between eastern and western Qiangtang, and indicates an anticlockwise, diachronous closure of the Shuanghu Palaeo-Tethys.     

西藏双湖区帕度错一带早-中侏罗世色哇组的发现及地质意义

藏北帕度错一带出露的早—中侏罗世地层,其岩石组合特征不同于雁石坪群,与其香错一带出露的色哇组相当,在该套地层的上部层位产迄今为止藏北地区最为丰富的侏罗纪巴柔期菊石化石,该区色哇组的发现对研究藏北南羌塘地区早—中侏罗世地质发展历史有着重要意义,同时也对羌塘盆地油气普查工作有一定的指导作用。     

藏北双湖山字形山玄武岩锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其地质意义

次对藏北双湖山字形山玄武岩进行了同位素年代学和岩石地球化学研究。锆石LA ICP MS U Pb测年结果表明,玄武岩形成时代为中三叠世Ladinian期((2358±27) Ma)。主量元素SiO2质量分数为4284%~5222%,TiO2为161%~269%,FeOT/MgO为152~194,属亚碱性系列拉斑玄武岩。稀土元素∑REE含量为11409×10-6~20847×10-6,(La/Yb)N为490~650,相对富集LREE。微量元素配分模式曲线与OIB型玄武岩相似。岩石成因研究表明岩浆在演化过程中主要受分离结晶作用控制,La/Nb、La/Ta、Zr/Ba等不相容元素比值与Ti含量表明,山字形山玄武岩可能是软流圈地幔与岩石圈地幔相互作用的产物。玄武岩较高的Zr含量与Zr/Y比值显示其处于板内伸展构造背景。结合区域地质资料推测,中三叠世玄武质岩浆是南、北羌塘地块碰撞造山过程中板片断离、软流圈物质上涌熔融的产物,而晚三叠世偏铝质-过铝质岩浆岩及高压变质岩折返剥露为造山带垮塌引起的伸展作用的结果。     

藏北羌塘盆地双湖地区油气成藏条件

藏北双湖地区油气显示有中侏罗统布曲组的隆鄂尼碳酸盐岩古油藏、充填于夏里组石膏孔洞里的沥青和夏里组砂岩夹层中的油页岩。布曲组及索瓦组中的生油岩有机碳含量普遍较高,生油能力大。油页岩的氯仿沥青“A”高达25255×10-6,有机碳含量28.8%,但总烃含量在40%～50%左右,OEP值分别为0.7和0.8,显示有机质演化处于低成熟阶段。有机质中既有Ⅰ型酐酪根,也有Ⅲ型酐酪根。有机质形成环境既有浅海陆棚相开阔型水体环境,也有半封闭型泻湖相等沉积环境。该地区可划分出4套生、储、盖组合,以第一套组合(由曲色组和布曲组组成)为最好。
