造山带中成对出现的高压麻粒岩与榴辉岩及其地球动力学意义

Paired high-pressure granulite and eclogite in collision orogens and their geodynamic implications.

在一些典型碰撞造山带中,高压麻粒岩与榴辉岩在空间和时间上密切相关,它们之间的关系对揭示碰撞造山带的造山过程和造山机制具有重要意义。本文以中国西部的南阿尔金、柴北缘及中部的北秦岭造山带为例,详细陈述了这3个地区榴辉岩和相关的高压麻粒岩的野外关系、变质演化和形成时代,目的是要建立大陆碰撞造山带中榴辉岩和相关高压麻粒岩形成的地球动力学背景模式。南阿尔金榴辉岩呈近东西向分布在江尕勒萨依-玉石矿沟一带,与含夕线石副片麻岩、花岗质片麻岩和少量大理岩构成榴辉岩-片麻岩单元,榴辉岩中含有柯石英假象,其峰期变质条件为P=2.8～3.0GPa,T=730～850℃,并在抬升过程中经历了角闪岩-麻粒岩相的叠加;大量年代学研究显示其峰期变质时代为485～500Ma。南阿尔金高压麻粒岩分布在巴什瓦克地区,包括高压基性麻粒岩和高压长英质麻粒岩,它们与超基性岩构成了一个大约5km宽的构造岩石单元,与周围角闪岩相的片麻岩为韧性剪切带接触。长英质麻粒岩和基性麻粒岩的峰期组合均具有蓝晶石和三元长石(已变成条纹长石),形成的温压条件为T=930～1020℃,P=1.8～2.5GPa,并在退变质过程中经历了中压麻粒岩相变质作用叠加。锆石SHRIMP测定显示巴什瓦克高压麻粒岩的峰期变质时代为493～497Ma。都兰地区的榴辉岩分布柴北缘HP-UHP变质带的东端,在榴辉岩和围岩副片麻岩中均发现有柯石英保存,形成的峰期温压条件为T=670～730℃和,P=2.7～3.25GPa,退变质阶段经过了角闪岩相的叠加;榴辉岩相变质时代为420～450Ma。都兰地区的高压麻粒岩分布在阿尔茨托山西部,高压麻粒岩包括基性麻粒岩长英质麻粒岩,基性麻粒岩的峰期矿物组合为Crt+Cpx+Pl±Ky±Zo+Rt±Qtz,长英质麻粒岩的峰期矿物组合为:Grt+Kf+Ky+Pl+Qtz。峰期变质条件为T=800～925℃,P=1.4～1.85GPa,退变质阶段经历了角闪岩-绿片岩的改造,高压麻粒岩的变质时代为420～450Ma。北秦岭榴辉岩分布在官坡-双槐树一带,榴辉岩的峰期变质组合为Grt+Omp±Phe+Qtz+Rt,所计算的峰期温压条件为T=680～770℃和P=2.25～2.65GPa,年代学数据显示榴辉岩的变质时代为500Ma左右。北秦岭高压麻粒岩分布在含榴辉岩单元的南侧松树沟一带,包括高压基性麻粒岩和高压长英质麻粒岩,与超基性岩在空间上密切伴生,高压麻粒岩的峰期温压条件为T=850～925℃,P=1.45～1.80GPa,锆石U-Pb年代学研究显示其峰期变质时代为485～507Ma。以上三个实例显示,出现在同一造山带、在空间上伴生的高压麻粒岩和榴辉岩有各自不同的变质演化历史,但榴辉岩中的榴辉岩相变质时代和相邻的高压麻粒岩中的高压麻粒岩相变质作用时代相同或相近,这种成对出现的榴辉岩和高压麻粒岩代表了它们同时形成在造山带中不同的构造环境中,即榴辉岩的形成于大陆俯冲带中,而高压麻粒岩可能形成在俯冲带之上增厚的大陆地壳根部。

A high-pressure granulite. Unit was recognized in the Dolan area, the eastern end of the North Qaidam-South Altyn HP-UHP metamorphism belt, Northwest China. High-pressure granulites are mainly mafic in composition although small amounts of acid-intermediate varieties also exist. Mineral assemblages in equilibrium in mafic granulites contain mainly garnet, clinopyroxene, plagioulase, with different amounts of kyanite, amphibole, rutile, quartz, zoisite/clinozoisite, scapolite and ilmenite, whereas acid-intermediate granulites contain garnet, kyanite, K-feldspar, plagioclase and quartz, with small amounts of clinopyroxene and amphibole. Petrologic and mineralogical data indicate these HP rocks experienced multistage metamorphism history. Thermobarometry of the peak mineral assemblages yields P-T conditions, of 1.40 similar to 1.85GPa and 800 similar to 925 degrees C. Retrogression began under high amphibolite-facies conditions estimated at 0.8 similar to 1.05GPa and 580 similar to 695 degrees C, and is followed by subsequent retrogression under low amphibolite-facies/greenschist-facies conditions ( <0.8Gpa and <550 degrees C). This study suggests that the Dulan high-pressure granulites experienced a single metamorphic history, and not associated with the effects of thermal relaxation after eclogite-facies metamorphism recorded in adjacent eclogites. The high-pressure granulites probably formed at the bottom of thickening continental crust related to continental subduction corresponding to the depth of about 50 similar to 70km.
