滇西澜沧岩群碎屑锆石U-Pb定年及其地质意义

虽然前人对澜沧岩群做了大量的研究,但缺乏同位素年代学方面的研究。此次研究针对澜沧江南段菖蒲塘-大田山地区澜沧岩群绢白云母石英片岩进行碎屑锆石U-Pb定年,为澜沧岩群的形成时代增添年代学证据。极大多数(129粒)锆石阴极发光(CL)图像显示其有明显的结晶振荡环带,指示其为岩浆成因的碎屑锆石,129粒碎屑锆石具有多组峰值年龄,最年轻一组年龄加权平均值为452±26Ma,表明澜沧岩群最早沉积时限不早于452±26Ma;极少数(1粒)锆石具弱阴极发光,缺乏内部结构特点,认为其为变质重结晶锆石,变质结晶锆石U-Pb年龄为255±3Ma,与前人研究所得澜沧岩群变质时代基本吻合。综合分析,澜沧岩群的沉积时限不早于452±26Ma,在二叠纪末期可能发生变质作用。

U-Pb dating of the detrital zircons from the Lancang Group Complex in western Yunnan and its geological significance

Although numerous previous studies, no direct evidences of geological ages are recorded for the Lancang Group Complex in western Yunnan. The U-Pb age data of the detrital zircons in sericite quartz schist from the Lancang Group Complex in the Changputang-Datianshan zone have provided convincing evidence for the formation age of the Lancang Group Complex. The cathodoluminescence (CL) images show that these zircon crystals generally display the well-defined oscillatory zonation and suggest a magmatic origin of the zircons. The age data for the detrital zircons in the sericite quartz schist sample PM08-B1 range between 452 and 3016 Ma, with the youngest age group of 452 ±26 Ma, implying that the maximum depositional age of the Lancang Group Complex is less than 452 ±26 Ma. One zircon grain with a U-Pb age of 255 ±3Ma exhibits a slight cathodoluminescence image and has no internal structures, which is characteristic of a type of metamorphic recrystallization zircons and in general aggrement with the previous data. In general, the Lancang Group Complex is dated at a depositional age of less than 452 ±26 Ma, The U-Pb age (255 ±3 Ma) of the metamorphic crystalline zircons reveals that the metamorphic events once took place during the Late Permian.
