First Report of Zircon U-Pb Chronology and Hf Isotope Evidence of the Heluositan Group Granulite in West Kunlun, Xinjiang

Objective As the uplift belt on the southem margin of the Tarim block, the Tiekelike block consists mainly of a set of Precambrian metamorphic rocks with granulite and gneisses. The Heluositan group-complex is the most ancient rock series in the area, and is a key area for studying the formation and evolution of the Precambrian basement of the Tarim craton. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating and Hf isotopic analysis of granulite in this area provide new evidence for revealing the formation and evolution of the Precambrian basement in the Tarim Basin.

SHRIMP Zircon U-Pb Chronology and Geochemistry of the Henglingguan and Beiyu Granitoids in the Zhongtiao Mountains,Shanxi Province

Henglingguan and Beiyu metamorphic granitoids, distributed in the northwest of the Zhongtiaoshan Precambrian complex, comprise trondhjemites and calc-alkaline monzogranites, displaying intrusive contacts with the Archean Zhaizi TTG gneisses. And the Beiyu metamorphic granitoids consist mainly of trondhjemites, distributed at the core of the Hujiayu anticline fold. New SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating data show that the weighted mean ^207pb/^206pb ages are 2435.9 Ma and 2477 Ma for the Henglingguan metamorphic calc-alkaline monzogranites and Beiyu metamorphic trondhjemites, respectively, and reveal -2600 Ma inherited core in magmatic zircons. Whole-rock geochemical data indicate that all the Henglingguan and Beiyu metamorphic trondhjemites and calc- alkaline monzogranites belong to the metaluminous medium- and high-potassium calc-alkaline series. These rocks are characterized by relatively high total alkali contents (Na2O+K2O, up to 9.08%), depleted Nb, Ta, P and Ti, and right-declined REE patterns with moderate to high LREEs/HREEs fractionation (the mean ratio of (La/Yb)n = 25). The Henglingguan and Beiyu metamorphic trondhjemites display negative Rb, Th and K anomalies in the multi-dement spider diagrams normalized by primitive mantle. Sm-Nd isotopic data reveal that these granitoids have initial εNd(t) =-1.2 to +2.4 and Nd depleted mantle model ages of TMD = 2622 Ma-2939 Ma. All these geochemical features indicate that these granitoids were formed in an continent-marginal arc, and the trondhjemites mainly originated from partial melting of juvenile basaltic materials and, howbeit, the Henglingguan metamorphic calc-alkaline monzogranites derived from recycling of materials in the ancient crust under a continent-marginal arc. The granitic magma underwent contamination and fractional crystallization during their formation.

Geochemistry and zircon U-Pb chronology of quartz porphyry in Yuejinshan Fe-polymetallic deposit of Heilongjiang

Quartz porphyry in Yuejinshan Fe-polymetallic deposit is one of the rock masses, which formed the granite belt relating to the late Yanshanian skarn-type Fe-polymetallic deposits in the eastern Heilongjiang, and is also closely related to the metallogenic space of the Fe-polymetallic deposits. Quartz porphyry has the zircon U-Pb concordia age of 125.0±1.1 Ma, overall showing high Si(SiO_2=74.48%--75.00%), rich alkaline(Na_2O+K_2O=7.93%--8.17%, K_2O/Na_2O=1.39--1.46), and poor Mg(MgO=0.27%--0.31%), with the A/CNK value being 0.95--0.99, having the characteristics of obvious enrichment of LREE and medium Eu negative anomaly(0.69--0.74), indicating that the rock belongs to quasi-aluminous high potassium calc-alkaline series and has the same characteristics as those of the I-type granite. The rock is also characterized by the enrichment of LILE and active incompatible elements, and depletion of HFSE such as Nb, Ta, P and Ti, with the Mg~# value being 32--37, indicating that the rock originated from partial melting of crustal materials. It can be concluded from the above characteristics or data and from the distribution of contemporary magmatic rocks in the area, that quartz porphyry in Yuejinshan Fe-polymetallic deposit was formed in a tectonic background of the subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate in late Yanshanian.

Zircon U-Pb chronology, geochemistry and Lu-Hf isotope constraints on genesis of monzonitic granite from Harizha area in eastern section of East Kunlun region

The Harizha area is located in the eastern section of East Kunlun orogenic belt. The petrology, the zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb chronology and the petrogeochemistry of the monzonitic granite in the area were studied. The results show that the formation age of the monzonitic granite in the Harizha area is 237.4±1.4 Ma, which belongs to Middle Triassic. The content of SiO_2 in the rock is 61.29%--63.30%,(K_2O+Na_2O) is 5.41%--5.84%, Al_2O_3 is 14.80%--15.99%, the Mg~# value is 46.33--48.33, and the aluminum saturation index A/CNK is 0.87--0.91. Therefore, it can be concluded that the rock belongs to the I-type granite of quasi-aluminous high potassium Ca-alkaline series. The total REE content of the rock is 118.82×10^(-6)--164.54×10^(-6), and the La/Yb ratios range from 7.77 to 10.13. Meanwhile, the rock does not show obvious Eu anomalies(δEu=0.61--0.75) and is characterized by enrichment of LREE and LILE such as Rb and K, relative depletion of HREE and HFSE such as Nb, Ti and Ta. Zircon Hf isotopic dating exhibits that the average ε_(Hf)(t) is-2.4 and the average of two-stage model age(t_(DM2)) is 1 417 Ma, indicating that the source rocks are mainly crustal materials. It can be concluded from research findings and regional geological structural analysis that the monzonitic granite in the Harizha area originated from partial melting of the Mesoproterozoic mafic lower crust in the later stage of the subduction of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean.

Zircon U-Pb Chronology and Whole-rock Sr-Nd Isotope Compositions of Granite Porphyry in the Kaladaban Area of the Northern Altyn

Objective The Altyn Tagh marks the northern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and lies between the Tarim block to the north and the Qaidam block,Qilian Orogen,and Kunlun orogenic belt to the south.The Altyn Tagh region contains ophiolite,high-to ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks,and igneous rocks.Previous research has virified the occurrence of continental rifting,subduction,slab roll-back,and collision between the Tarim block and Proto-Tethys oceanic plate.Moreover,Kaladaban volcanic rocks are mainly distributed in the north Altyn region.Studies of the magmatic evolution of this region have proposed that Altyn oceanic plate was subducted during the Ordovician(Han et al.,2012;Wang et al.,2017).However,the specific timing and other aspects of the subduction are debated,and an investigation of granite porphyry in the Kaladaban area would improve our understanding of this subduction event.In this study,we present new U-Pb zircon dating result and Sr-Nd isotope composition data for granite porphyry from the North Altyn region.The objective is to constrain the timing of subduction of the North Altyn oceanic plate and establish the petrogenesis and magma source of the granite porphyry.

Garnet and Zircon U-Pb Geochronology and Geochemistry Reveal Genesis of the Dafang Au-Pb-Zn-Ag Deposit,Southern Hunan

Garnet is a primary mineral in skarn deposits and plays a significant role in recording copious mineralization and metallogenic information.This study systematically investigates the geochemistry and geochronology of garnet and zircon in the Dafang Au-Pb-Zn-Ag deposit,which represents prominent gold mineralization in southern Hunan,China.Garnet samples with distinct zoning patterns and compositional variations were identified using various analytical techniques,including Backscattered Electron(BSE)imaging,Cathodoluminescence(CL)response,textural characterization,and analysis of rare-earth elements(REE),major contents,and trace element compositions.The garnet was dated U-Pb dating,which yielded a lower intercept age of 161.06±1.93 Ma.This age is older than the underlying granodiorite porphyry,which has a concordia age of 155.13±0.95 Ma determined by zircon U-Pb dating.These results suggest that the gold mineralization may be related to the concealed granite.Two groups of garnet changed from depleted Al garnet to enriched Al garnet,and the rare earth element(REE)patterns of these groups were converted from light REE(LREE)-enriched and heavy REE(HREE)-depleted with positive europium(Eu)anomalies to medium REE(MREE)-enriched from core to rim zoning.The different REE patterns of garnet in various zones may be attributed to changes in the fluid environment and late superposition alteration.The development of distal skarn in the southern Hunan could be a significant indicator for identifying gold mineralization.

Geochronology and Geochemistry of Ore-related Granitoids in the Giant Gariatong Rb Deposit,Tibet and Implications for Rb Metallogeny in China

Rubidium(Rb)deposits mostly occur in the South China and Central Asia orogenic belts and are often closely associated with highly differentiated granites.This study investigates a newly-discovered giant Rb deposit at Gariatong in the Central Lhasa terrane in Tibet.Detailed field studies and logging data revealed that the Rb mineralization mainly occurs in monzogranite and is related to greisenization.LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of zircon yielded ages of 19.1±0.2 Ma and 19.0±0.2 Ma for greisenized monzogranite and fresh monzogranite,respectively.The monzogranites are characterized as strongly peraluminous,with high contents of SiO2,Al2O3,K2O and Na2O as well as a high differentiation index.They are enriched in light rare earth and large ion lithophile elements with significant negative Eu anomalies and depleted high fieldstrength elements.Petrological and geochemical features of these ore-related monzogranites suggest that they are highly fractionated S-type granites,derived from remelting of crustal materials in a post-collisional setting.The geochemistry of zircon and apatite points to a low oxygen fugacity of the ore-related monzogranite during the magma’s evolution.The discovery of the Gariatong Rb deposit suggests that the Central Lhasa terrane may be an important region for rare metal mineralization.

Zircon U-Pb geochronology,Hf isotopes,and geochemistry constraints on the age and tectonic affinity of the basement granitoids from the Qiongdongnan Basin,northern South China Sea

Studies in the northern South China Sea(SCS)basement remain important for understanding the evolution of the Southeast Asian continental margin.Due to a thick cover of sediments and scarce borehole penetration,little is known about the age and tectonic affinity of this basement.In this study,an integrated study of zircon U-Pb geochronology,Hf isotopes,and whole-rock major and trace elements on seven basement granitoids from seven boreholes of Qiongdongnan Basin has been carried out.New zircon U-Pb results for these granitoids present middle-late Permian((270.0±1.2)Ma;(253±3.4)Ma),middle to late Triassic((246.2±3.4)Ma;(239.3±0.96)Ma;(237.9±0.99)Ma;(228.9±1.0)Ma)and Late Cretaceous ages((120.6±0.6)Ma).New data from this study,in combination with the previous dataset,indicates that granitoid ages in northern SCS basement vary from 270 Ma to 70.5 Ma,with three age groups of 270–196 Ma,162–142 Ma,and 137–71 Ma,respectively.Except for the late Paleozoic-Mesozoic rocks in the basement of the northern SCS,a few old zircon grains with the age of(2708.1±17)Ma to(2166.6±19)Ma provide clues to the existence of the pre-Proterozoic components.The geochemical signatures indicate that the middle Permian-early Cretaceous granitoids from the Qiongdongnan Basin are I-type granites formed in a volcanic arc environment,which were probably related to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate.

Zircon U-Pb geochronology,geochemistry and tectonic implication of volcanic rocks from Manketouebo Formation in Keyihe area of northern Great Xing'an Range

Zircon U-Pb isotope dating and whole-rock geochemical analyses were undertaken for the rhyolite,rhyolitic lithic crystal tuff and dacitic tuff from the Manketouebo Formation in the Keyihe area,in order to constrain their genesis and tectonic significance.Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb data indicate that the rhyolite and rhyolitic lithic crystal tuff were formed during 137±5 Ma and 143±1 Ma,respectively.These volcanic rocks have high SiO2(70.03%–76.46%)and K2O+Na2O(8.10%–9.52%)contents,but low CaO(0.03%–0.95%)and MgO(0.07%–0.67%)contents,which belong to the peraluminous and high-K calc-alkaline rocks.They are enriched in light rare earth elements(REEs),and exhibit fractionation of light over heavy REEs,withδEu values of 0.37–0.83.The volcanic rocks are enriched in LILEs(e.g.,Rb,U and K)and depleted in HFSEs(e.g.,Nb,Ti,P and Ta).The chemical composition suggests that these volcanic rocks formed by partial melting of crust material.Combined with previous regional research results,the authors consider that the volcanic rocks of the Manketouebo Formation in the Keyihe area were formed under an extensional environment related to the closure of the Mongolia–Okhotsk Ocean.

LA-ICP-MS Zircon U-Pb Geochronology of Quartz Porphyry from the Niutougou Gold Deposit in Songxian County,Henan Province

The Niutougou gold deposit, located in the center of the Xiong＇ershan gold district, western Henan Province, is a large gold deposit with many quartz porphyries found in the area. Based on the field geological investigation of quartz porphyry of Niutougou gold deposit and by using the cathodoluminescence （CL） images analysis and in situ LA-ICP-MS U-Pb isotope dating method of zircons, the inner structure, trace element compositions and U-Pb age of the zircons separated from quartz porphyry were analyzed and determined. Cathodoluminescence （CL） images of zircons show clear magmatic zonations. Trace element analyses of zircons reveal that all zircons show high concentrations of Th, U, and HREE, and the REE patterns of depletion in LREE, with a positive Ce anomaly. Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating results show that the quartz porphyry in the Niutougou gold deposit was formed at 159.714-0.99 Ma （about 160 Ma）, belonging to the product of magmatic activity in late Middle Jurassic. Combined with the geological characteristics of the Niutougou gold deposit, the formation age of the quartz porphyry and the analysis of the formation age of the granite body exposed in the Niutougou gold deposit, the study suggests that the metallogenic epoch of the Niutougou gold deposit may be Yanshanian in age.

Origin and Geodynamic Implications of Concealed Granite in Shadong Tungsten Deposit, Xinjiang, China： Zircon U-Pb Chronology, Geochemistry, and Sr-Nd-Hf Isotope Constraint

Shadong deposit is the first large-scale tungsten deposit found in the East Tianshan orogenic belt, and the geologic characteristics of the deposit indicate that the deeply concealed granite body is ge- netically related with the mineralization. The LA-ICPMS U-Pb age of zircons from the Shadong concealed granite obtained in this research is 239±2.0 Ma, belonging to the Middle Triassic. The whole rock samples are metaiuminous to slightly peraluminous （A/CNK=0.95-1.02） with low contents of SiO2 （64.0 wt.%-68.5 wt.%） and low K2O/Na2O ratios （0.73-0.96）. The samples reveal enrichment of K, Rb, Th and depletion of Nb, Ta, P, Ti and have a negative slope from La to Lu （LaN/YbN=16.29-36.8） with weak negative Eu anom- aly （Eu/Eu＊= 0.71-0.82）. Initial ^87Sr/^86Sr ratios of whole rock range of 0.706 59-0.707 75, eNd（t） values range from -1.77 to -2.53 and εnf（t） values of zircon are between 2.54 and 4.90. The lithogeochemistry and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic characteristics revealed that the concealed granite in Shadong tungsten deposit is I-type granite, and occurs in an intraplate tectonic setting. The magma mixing during intraplating of mantle de- rived magma intruding into the crust in Indosinian Period is the major formation mechanism of the granite. Of which, the proportion of mantle derived magma ranges from 58% to 60%, and the crustal materials are mainly the metamorphic basement of Xingxingxia Group of Mesoproterozoic Changcheng System, which may orovide the main source of ore forming metals of Shadong tungsten deposit.

东昆仑大格勒农场南辉长岩锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学特征及地质意义

东昆仑志留纪岩浆活动强烈,记录了东昆仑造山带原特提斯洋演化晚期大洋俯冲阶段与碰撞阶段转换地质过程。本次研究对东昆仑大格勒农场南志留纪基性侵入岩开展了详细的岩相学、岩石地球化学、锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素研究,以确定其形成时代、岩石成因和构造环境。研究结果表明大格勒农场南辉长岩的结晶年龄为430.2±2.4 Ma,形成时代为中志留世。辉长岩SiO_(2)(51.40%~53.66%)含量较低,MgO(18.56%~22.16%)和FeO^(T)(7.54%~10.64%)含量高,Mg^(#)为79~82。微量元素富集Rb、Th、Ba、Cs等大离子亲石元素(LILE),亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素(HFSE),具有高Ni(276~973μg/g)、Cr(2152~3574μg/g)和Sc(35.5~53.1μg/g)含量,低Nb/Ta值(3.23~8.68)和εHf(t)值(-7.3~-3.6)。大格勒农场南辉长岩的地球化学组成具有岛弧基性岩特征,其成因可能是流体和俯冲沉积物加入的富尖晶石橄榄岩部分熔融的结果。综合区域资料表明,大格勒农场南辉长岩形成于东昆仑原特提斯洋俯冲晚期阶段,进一步限定原特提斯洋晚期俯冲与碰撞转换时限为中志留世,随后转入碰撞造山阶段。

海南岛抱板杂岩记录的多期构造热事件:锆石和独居石U-Pb年代学的制约

抱板杂岩(抱板群)是海南岛目前已发现的最古老前寒武纪结晶基底,记录了多期构造热事件,是研究海南岛大地构造属性的重要窗口。本文通过对海南岛冲卒岭地区抱板杂岩变质沉积岩、变质基性岩和伟晶岩脉的锆石和独居石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究,来确定抱板杂岩所经历的多期构造热事件及其所代表的构造意义。研究结果显示,抱板杂岩主要由中元古代变质沉积岩、花岗质片麻岩和变质基性岩组成,经历了中元古代晚期-新元古代早期(1.3~0.9Ga)、早古生代(470~440Ma)、三叠纪(~230Ma)等多期构造热事件的改造。中元古代晚期-新元古代早期构造热事件与罗迪尼亚超大陆的汇聚有关;早古生代构造热事件与东冈瓦纳古陆北缘的增生造山作用有关;三叠纪构造热事件是印支陆块与华南陆块碰撞拼合的远程响应。综合上述研究成果和区域对比分析,认为海南岛与印支陆块具有相似的前寒武纪结晶基底和多期构造热事件的记录,表明二者具有明显的亲缘关系。

柴达木盆地古近系下干柴沟组上段碎屑锆石U-Pb测年及盆山耦合探讨

柴达木盆地被祁连山、阿尔金山及昆仑山所环绕,盆地古近系下干柴沟组(E32)地层独特的岩性和沉积格局指示了复杂盆山体系和源区多样成因。本文选取了盆地内部不同构造带5口钻井下干柴沟组的中粗砂岩样品,利用碎屑锆石U-Pb定年等分析方法对柴达木盆地进行了构造、物源系统分析。研究结果表明,位于祁连山前的XX-1井样品下干柴沟组锆石年龄介于2692~156Ma之间,主要峰值年龄为448Ma和249Ma,L6-1井样品锆石年龄介于2693~220Ma之间,主要峰值年龄为499Ma和415Ma;位于盆地西部沉降中心内部的YIT-1井样品下干柴沟组锆石年龄介于2796~266Ma之间,主要峰值年龄为423Ma和255Ma;阿尔金山前的N-105井样品下干柴沟组锆石年龄介于2481~242Ma之间,主要峰值年龄为422Ma和259Ma,N-109井样品锆石年龄介于2638~228Ma之间,主要峰值年龄为444Ma和246Ma。通过与主要源区年龄对比可知,盆地不同构造带下干柴沟组的物源差异较大,靠近祁连山前的XX-1井、L6-1井的物源主要来自于祁连山内部;位于阿尔金山前相邻的N-105、N-109井物源主体来自于阿尔金山内部,但N-109井存在祁连山物源贡献;柴西坳陷内部YIT-1井物源受祁连山及东昆仑共同控制。物源分析结果表明祁连山在古近纪已大规模隆升,并且作为青藏高原北部边界为柴达木盆地持续提供物源;阿尔金山及昆仑山在下干柴沟组沉积时期已经形成雏形,但并未大规模隆升,造成了山前带复杂的物源体系。

辽东地区赛马碱性杂岩锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素组成及其对构造背景的制约

通过LA-ICP-MS测得辽宁赛马地区浅肉红色霞霓正长岩中的锆石U-Pb年龄为225.8±1.9 Ma,赛马碱性杂岩的侵位时代为晚三叠世。地球化学分析表明,霞霓正长岩SiO_(2)含量为55.87%~60.88%,Na_(2)O为0.41%~5.32%,Al_(2)O_(3)为17.81%~19.53%,K_(2)O为9.46%~11.91%,MgO为0.46%~1.36%,里特曼指数为7.54~17.01;稀土元素总量较高,高于300×10^(-6),强烈富集轻稀土元素,(La/Yb)N值大于10,个别达到100以上;亏损Nb、Ta、P等高场强元素,富集Rb、Th等大离子亲石元素,总体表现出富碱性岩石特征。锆石ε_(Hf)(t)值为-13.37~-9.30,对应的两阶段Hf模式年龄T_(DM2)为2102~1855 Ma。通过岩石成因分析和构造环境判别,赛马碱性杂岩可能形成于由俯冲挤压向陆内伸展、拉张转换的动力背景下的下地壳(或上地幔)部分熔融。赛马碱性杂岩侵位时代(225.8±1.9 Ma)可能代表了华北克拉通北缘岩石圈开始伸展减薄的时间,也是郯庐断裂形成的时间。

贵东复式岩体中东部晚期花岗质小岩体的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

贵东复式岩体由多期次、多类型的岩体组成,且东部盛产铀矿床,因此精确厘定该复式岩体的时代及其时序,查明复式岩体东部与中西部岩浆活动的差异性及其与铀成矿的关系,不仅有利于深入研究区域岩浆活动,而且有利于深刻认识铀的成矿规律。现有研究认为,以龟尾山断裂带为界,贵东复式岩体中西部岩基属燕山早期、东部岩基属印支早期,东部广泛发育的燕山期中基性脉岩与铀成矿关系密切。但对复式岩体中东部呈岩枝、岩株广泛出露的晚期花岗质小岩体的成岩地质时代及其分布规律尚存在争议,也有待进一步查明花岗质小岩体与铀矿床的时空关系。文章选择贵东复式岩体中东部晚期花岗质小岩体为研究对象,采用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb法厘定其成岩时代,并分析它们的时空分布及其与铀成矿的关系。测试结果显示,贵东复式岩体中东部晚期花岗质小岩体普遍存在高铀锆石,这可能是对同一岩体不同学者所获得的^(206)Pb/^(238)U加权平均年龄差别较大的主要原因。剔除高铀锆石的年龄数据,龟尾山断裂带以西的隘子、司前、陈洞岩体锆石^(206)Pb/^(238)U加权平均年龄分别为163.0±1.6 Ma、163.1±1.6 Ma、160.7±1.9 Ma,属燕山早期岩浆活动的产物;而以东的帽峰、分水坳、龟尾山岩体锆石^(206)Pb/^(238)U加权平均年龄分别为230.0±2.7 Ma、225.9±2.9 Ma和232.6±3.1 Ma,属印支期岩浆活动的产物。所以,龟尾山断裂以西和以东晚期花岗质小岩体的时代不同。且龟尾山断裂带以东的印支期花岗质小岩体空间上与铀矿化、尤其是与燕山早期的绢英岩化型等中高温热液铀矿化关系密切,是主要的储矿围岩;结合元素地球化学研究结果,该区产出的印支期花岗质小岩体也可为铀成矿提供铀源。

华北克拉通栖霞地区~2.9Ga变质基性火山岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年、Hf-O同位素特征及构造意义

胶东地区是华北克拉通重要的早前寒武纪研究区之一。中太古代唐家庄岩群在形成时代、岩石成因及构造环境等方面一直少有研究。作者在栖霞地区对出露的唐家庄岩群变质表壳岩进行系统地质调查研究基础上,开展了变质基性火山岩全岩地球化学、锆石SHRIMP U-Pb和Hf-O同位素等分析研究。结果显示,变质基性火山岩岩浆锆石年龄为2907.9±6.3Ma,代表了中太古代唐家庄岩群的形成时间,并遭受新太古代早、晚期变质作用。这是~2.9Ga唐家庄岩群变质基性火山岩在胶东地区首次报道。岩石地球化学特征表现为相对富集大离子亲石元素K、Rb、Sr等,Th、Nb、Zr、Hf等高场强元素相对亏损,具有中等分异的REE配分模式。岩石中岩浆锆石具有相似的Hf、O同位素组成,εHf(t)值介于-0.68~+4.21,δ18 O值介于1.38‰~6.73‰。结合前人的工作,我们得出的主要结论如下:(1)胶东地区经历~2.9Ga岩浆事件,局部地段仍保留下了同时期的变质表壳岩;(2)唐家庄岩群是中太古代初始的洋盆环境中所形成的一套火山-沉积建造;(3)华北克拉通中太古代晚期是亏损地幔新生地壳加积的主要时期,局部地壳再循环了较老的陆源物质;(4)华北克拉通新太古代晚期经历了伸展构造背景,岩浆底侵作用使岩石发生强烈变质作用。

鄂尔多斯盆地东南部韩城地区延长组碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学特征及物源指示意义

围绕鄂尔多斯盆地东南部中晚三叠世延长组物源演化,以盆地东南部韩城薛峰川地区延长组剖面为研究对象,运用碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学探讨了韩城地区延长期的物源特征。结果表明,韩城薛峰川地区延长组自下而上不同层段碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄谱峰特征基本一致,峰值段主要集中在晚古生代晚期(250~263 Ma)、古元古宙晚期(1 689~1 774 Ma, 1 867~1 885 Ma)和古元古宙早期(2 490~2 560 Ma),太古宙年龄仅零星分布,而中新元古宙和早古生代年龄均缺失。综合物源对比认为,韩城地区延长期盆地物源主要来自于其东北部的华北克拉通内部及阴山造山带地区,而华北板块南缘及秦岭地区的南部物源特征不明显。这种物源特征与盆地西南部延长期物源复杂多变的特点形成了鲜明对比,表明鄂尔多斯盆地东南部延长期具有稳定的东北物源特征,推测其南地区在延长期仍存在分隔南部物源的深湖相沉积,该认识对探讨延长期湖盆演化具有重要意义。

东昆仑志留纪火山岩锆石U-Pb年龄及其对陆-陆碰撞时限的制约

东昆仑造山带早古生代经历了完整的洋壳形成、俯冲消减、陆-陆碰撞造山和造山后垮塌演变过程,目前对陆-陆初始碰撞时间及碰撞时限还存在较大争议。周缘前陆盆地启动引发的沉积环境突变或不整合形成时间是用来约束大陆初始碰撞时间最直接和最有效的方法之一。本文以东昆仑水泥厂地区角度不整合覆盖于石灰厂组之上的志留纪周缘前陆盆地沉积哈拉巴依沟组为研究对象,开展火山岩夹层锆石U-Pb年代学研究,为约束早古生代陆-陆初始碰撞时间与碰撞造山时限提供沉积记录证据。结果表明,水泥厂东和雪水河东哈拉巴依沟组下部流纹质凝灰岩锆石U-Pb年龄分别为443.0±3.9 Ma和441.8±1.3 Ma,结合已报道的石灰厂组火山岩锆石U-Pb年龄(450.4±4.3 Ma),可以确定东昆仑陆-陆初始碰撞发生在450~443 Ma之间。综合区域上古生代岩浆活动、变质作用、构造变形与相关沉积记录证据,认为东昆仑地区至少从450 Ma左右开始进入陆壳深俯冲及陆-陆碰撞阶段,在425 Ma左右进入碰撞后伸展阶段,碰撞造山作用至少持续了25 Ma。

伟晶岩中不同副矿物U-Pb同位素定年和示踪的问题与应用

定年和示踪一直是伟晶岩成岩成矿过程和稀有金属富集机制研究的关键问题。副矿物不仅是伟晶岩中稀有稀土元素的重要载体,还蕴含丰富的微量元素并常常具有较高的U-Th含量,是研究伟晶岩年代学、成岩成矿过程和物质源区的“理想探针”。伟晶岩中常用的适合于U-Pb同位素定年的副矿物有锆石、铌钽铁矿、独居石、锡石、榍石、褐帘石、磷钇矿和磷灰石等。由于封闭温度、矿物学特性和不同性质流体中元素行为的差异,伟晶岩中不同副矿物的U-Pb系统常表现出复杂的年龄谱系,可能记录了伟晶岩中潜在的后期地质过程,如:自交代、后期变质与流体改造等。因此,基于前期光学显微镜、扫描电镜、冷阴极发光、激光拉曼光谱分析等矿物微观结构研究,对不同期次或世代的副矿物进行原位微区U-Pb定年及主微量元素和同位素地球化学分析,对于全面认知多期地质事件和伟晶岩成岩成矿过程演化历史,进而更准确地构建其构造-岩浆-热液-成矿作用时空框架具有重要的科学意义。
