They are the Lower Cambrian, the Upper Devonian and the Upper Permian. As compared with the crustal evolution in this area, these three geochemical abnormal horizons are correspoding to the pullingapart perieds of gcotectonic cycles, which illustrates that the uncommon depositional sources Pouring into the basin from the earth’s interior may be one of themost important causes to originate the geochemical anomalies in these horizons. Thus it can berealized that the gaxhemistry of opst-Archean sedimentary rocks has a great deal to do with thecrustal evolution and it can be used as a tracer to analyze the crustal evolution. The elements inthis area are mainly concentrated in these geochemical abnormal horizons, and the degree of enrichment and deficiency of trace elements in other horizons is very limited. A series of researchon mineralization indicates that the main strata-bound ore deposits discovered in the SouthwestYangtze Massif occur in the Cambrian, Devonian and Permian-Triassic strata. The results ofisotope tracer research have also proved that most of the metallogenic elements in these ore dePosits came from the host strata, which illustrates that the geochemical abnormal horizons mayhave made great contributions to these ore-forming processes. Thus it can be concluded that itis only the particular horizons corresponding to the particular periods of earth’s evolution thatcan they be the significant source beds because only in these uncommon horizons there can behighly enriched metallogenic elements, which may be one of the most important reasons for explaining the time-bound nature of mineralization.展开更多

During the early stage about 1900~1800 Ma, the DCR consisted of five huge slices which obducted over and stacked up along a series of hightemperature shear zone (HTSZ), and were subsequently uplifted from the deep crustal level to the middle one accompanied with granuliteamphibolite facies retrometamorphic reworking in HTSZ. From 1800~1700 Ma, some slices and HTSZ mentioned above were oveprinted by several lowtemperature shear zone (LTSZ), of which the lowangle oblique thrusts caused these DCR to uplift again from the middle crustal level to the shallow one, and experienced retrometamorphic reworking of greenschist facies. These two stages of uplifting processes should be included in an entire Early Proterozoic orogenic cycle.展开更多

The dynamic adjustment of crustal materials in the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze mainly occurred in the Mesozoic under the conditions of intense collision between the North China (Dabie) massif and the Yangtze massif. The structural adjustment refers to various types of deformation within the two massifs and the intensive shortening of the stratigraphic coyer of the Yangtze massif, whereas the compositional adjustment implies the structural remelting of the basement and the ore. and rock- forming processes in the two massifs.展开更多

Petrogenetic problems are discussed based on chemical (major, trace elements and REEs) and Nd-Sr isotopic compositions. The Shengongian granites resulted from partial melting of the Badu Groupand the Late Jinningian granites are of mantle dedvation with or without conednation of Crustalmaterial. The crust in Zhejiang had undergone three major periods of growth during 2. 6 - 2. 7Ga,0. 8 - 1. 1 Ga and 0. 10 - 0. 12 Ga after it was generated in Archean time. Compositional fractionation in the process of crust evolution is not evident. The presence of Late Jinningian granites of mantle- and man tie-crust-derivation along the JiangShan-Shaoxing Fault is indication ofcrust subduction at that time.展开更多

They were mainly emplaced or erupted between the Carboniferous and Permian. The compositions of Sr, Nd, Pb, and O isotopes imply that their principal resource materials are derived from the upper mantle or juvenile crust, indicating obvious continental growth in the Phanerozoic. The trace element association implies that their tectonic settings are within plate and volcanic arc for alkali-rich granites, and post-collisional are, late oceanic are and continental are for alkali-rich volcanic rocks. An archipelago model was suggested for the tectonic evolution in northern Xinjiang. It can be named the central-Asia-type orogeny, which is different from the so called circum-Pacific ocean-continent-type tectonics or the Alpine-Himalayan continent-continent-collisional orogeny.展开更多

High-temperature HDR resources were recently detected in deep regions of the Gonghe Basin on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, which led to a significant breakthrough in HDR resource exploration in China. This research analyzes the deep temperature distribution, radiogenic heat production, heat flow, and crustal thermal structure in the Qiaboqia Valley, Guide Plain, and Zhacanggou area of the Gonghe Basin based on geothermal exploration borehole logging data, rock thermophysical properties, and regional geophysical exploration data. The results are applied to discuss the heat accumulation mechanism of the HDR resources in the Gonghe Basin. The findings suggest that a low-velocity layer in the thickened crust of the Tibetan Plateau provides the most important source of constant intracrustal heat for the formation of HDR resources in the Gonghe Basin, whereas crustal thickening redistributes the concentrated layer of radioactive elements, which compensates for the relatively low heat production of the basal granite and serves as an important supplement to the heat of the HDR resources. The negative effect is that the downward curvature of the lithospheric upper mantle caused by crustal thickening leads to a small mantle heat flow component. As a result, the heat flows in the Qiaboqia Valley and Guide Plain of the Gonghe Basin are 106.2 and 77.6 m W/m2, respectively, in which the crust-mantle heat flow ratio of the former is 3.12:1, indicating a notably anomalous intracrustal thermal structure. In contrast, the crust-mantle heat flow ratio in the Guide Plain is 1.84:1, which reflects a typical hot crust-cold mantle thermal structure. The Guide Plain and Zhacanggou area show the same increasing temperature trend with depth, which reflects that their geothermal backgrounds and deep high-temperature environments are similar. These results provide important insight on the heat source mechanism of HDR resource formation in the Tibetan Plateau and useful guidance for future HDR resource exploration projects and target sites selection in similar areas.展开更多

The presence of different xenoliths and xenocrysts is among the evidence of crustal contamination of these rocks. The positive correlations of CaO/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> vs to MgO and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> vs. SiO<sub>2</sub> are of signs of the olivine and clinopyroxene fractionation in the variation trend of the area rocks. Positive correlations K<sub>2</sub>O/P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> vs with SiO<sub>2</sub> and La/Sm vs. K<sub>2</sub>O/P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> demonstrate contamination of magma with the continental crust. The incompatible trace element patterns and their comparison with crustal contents indicate contamination of the rocks of the area with the lower and upper continental crust. Linear trends in the variation diagram of Nb/Y vs. Zr/Y, introduce two different source regions: a MORB source and the other continental crust for the rocks which are the genesis. The variations of Y/Nb vs. Zr/Nb and Rb/Y vs. Nb/Y reveal a crustal contamination of the magma originated from the MORB source. Geochemical studies represent that the area’s rocks were derived from the 15% melting of a mantle source of MORB type with spinel facies within a continental environment, which was contaminated by varying degrees of continental crustal rocks.展开更多

The Tso Morari unit outcrops south of the Indus suture zone (Fig.1). The eclogitic dome is underlined on its eastern part by the Zildat normal fault where serpentinite lenses and partially hydrated peridotites are abundant. The close association of the high pressure rocks and serpentinites suggests a possible role of serpentinites in the exhumation of ultrahigh\|pressure rocks. To evaluate this possibility, geochemical analyses were carried out on the serpentinites closely associated with the Tso Morari eclogites.展开更多
文摘Through a systematic study on trace elements and REE geochemistry of mudstonedeposited in the basin and lower slope environments during Upper Proterozoic to Triassic in theSouthwest Yangtze Massif, three gaxhemical abnormal horizons of which the gerehemicalcharacteristics are quite different from those of other horizons have been established for the firsttime. They are the Lower Cambrian, the Upper Devonian and the Upper Permian. As compared with the crustal evolution in this area, these three geochemical abnormal horizons are correspoding to the pullingapart perieds of gcotectonic cycles, which illustrates that the uncommon depositional sources Pouring into the basin from the earth’s interior may be one of themost important causes to originate the geochemical anomalies in these horizons.

The elements inthis area are mainly concentrated in these geochemical abnormal horizons, and the degree of enrichment and deficiency of trace elements in other horizons is very limited. A series of researchon mineralization indicates that the main strata-bound ore deposits discovered in the SouthwestYangtze Massif occur in the Cambrian, Devonian and Permian-Triassic strata. The results ofisotope tracer research have also proved that most of the metallogenic elements in these ore dePosits came from the host strata, which illustrates that the geochemical abnormal horizons mayhave made great contributions to these ore-forming processes. Thus it can be concluded that itis only the particular horizons corresponding to the particular periods of earth’s evolution thatcan they be the significant source beds because only in these uncommon horizons there can behighly enriched metallogenic elements, which may be one of the most important reasons for explaining the time-bound nature of mineralization.
文摘Deep crustal rocks of the Early Proterozoic orogenic belt (DCR)in Daqingshan area mainly included the synorogenicmetamorphic khondalite series and reworked Archeanbasement granulites. During the early stage about 1900~1800 Ma, the DCR consisted of five huge slices which obducted over and stacked up along a series of hightemperature shear zone (HTSZ), and were subsequently uplifted from the deep crustal level to the middle one accompanied with granuliteamphibolite facies retrometamorphic reworking in HTSZ. From 1800~1700 Ma, some slices and HTSZ mentioned above were oveprinted by several lowtemperature shear zone (LTSZ), of which the lowangle oblique thrusts caused these DCR to uplift again from the middle crustal level to the shallow one, and experienced retrometamorphic reworking of greenschist facies. These two stages of uplifting processes should be included in an entire Early Proterozoic orogenic cycle.
文摘Under the tectonodynamic process, crustal materials tend to experience two modes of adjustment: (1) structural (physical) adjustment, manifested by folding, faulting, uplifting, downwarping, etc.: (2) compositional adjustment, represented by element migration, concentration and dispersion, crystalline and dynamic differentiation of crystals, metamorphism, etc. (Yang Kaiqing. 1986; Yang Kaiqing et al., 1986). The dynamic adjustment of crustal materials in the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze mainly occurred in the Mesozoic under the conditions of intense collision between the North China (Dabie) massif and the Yangtze massif. The structural adjustment refers to various types of deformation within the two massifs and the intensive shortening of the stratigraphic coyer of the Yangtze massif, whereas the compositional adjustment implies the structural remelting of the basement and the ore. and rock- forming processes in the two massifs.

Petrogenetic problems are discussed based on chemical (major, trace elements and REEs) and Nd-Sr isotopic compositions. The Shengongian granites resulted from partial melting of the Badu Groupand the Late Jinningian granites are of mantle dedvation with or without conednation of Crustalmaterial. The crust in Zhejiang had undergone three major periods of growth during 2. 6 - 2. 7Ga,0. 8 - 1. 1 Ga and 0. 10 - 0. 12 Ga after it was generated in Archean time. Compositional fractionation in the process of crust evolution is not evident. The presence of Late Jinningian granites of mantle- and man tie-crust-derivation along the JiangShan-Shaoxing Fault is indication ofcrust subduction at that time.

文摘Hot dry rock(HDR) is an important geothermal resource and clean energy source that may play an increasingly important role in future energy management. High-temperature HDR resources were recently detected in deep regions of the Gonghe Basin on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, which led to a significant breakthrough in HDR resource exploration in China. This research analyzes the deep temperature distribution, radiogenic heat production, heat flow, and crustal thermal structure in the Qiaboqia Valley, Guide Plain, and Zhacanggou area of the Gonghe Basin based on geothermal exploration borehole logging data, rock thermophysical properties, and regional geophysical exploration data. The results are applied to discuss the heat accumulation mechanism of the HDR resources in the Gonghe Basin. The findings suggest that a low-velocity layer in the thickened crust of the Tibetan Plateau provides the most important source of constant intracrustal heat for the formation of HDR resources in the Gonghe Basin, whereas crustal thickening redistributes the concentrated layer of radioactive elements, which compensates for the relatively low heat production of the basal granite and serves as an important supplement to the heat of the HDR resources. The negative effect is that the downward curvature of the lithospheric upper mantle caused by crustal thickening leads to a small mantle heat flow component. As a result, the heat flows in the Qiaboqia Valley and Guide Plain of the Gonghe Basin are 106.2 and 77.6 m W/m2, respectively, in which the crust-mantle heat flow ratio of the former is 3.12:1, indicating a notably anomalous intracrustal thermal structure. In contrast, the crust-mantle heat flow ratio in the Guide Plain is 1.84:1, which reflects a typical hot crust-cold mantle thermal structure. The Guide Plain and Zhacanggou area show the same increasing temperature trend with depth, which reflects that their geothermal backgrounds and deep high-temperature environments are similar. These results provide important insight on the heat source mechanism of HDR resource formation in the Tibetan Plateau and useful guidance for future HDR resource exploration projects and target sites selection in similar areas.

文摘Zinc isotopes may act as a new tool of tracking recycling of crustal materials that causes compositional heterogeneity of the mantle.This application relies on an investigation of Zn isotopic behaviors during slab subduction.In this study,we report Zn isotopic compositions for a suite of metabasalts(greenschists,amphibolites,and coesitebearing eclogites)from the Dabie Orogen(China),which were formed via the subduction of mafic rocks into different depths and up to>200 km.Three out of eight greenschists are characterized by lighterδ^(66)ZnJMC-Lyon(0.10‰-0.16‰)than those of global basalts(0.28‰±0.05‰),which may be caused by crustal assimilation of the protoliths by sedimentary rocks due to their extremely high ^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr(up to 0.7130)and lowεNd values(down to−12.3).The remaining greenschists have relatively low ^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr and theirδ66Zn values(0.21‰-0.38‰)overlap the ranges of amphibolites(0.18‰-0.32‰)and coesite-bearing eclogites(0.18‰-0.36‰).There is no correlation betweenδ^(66)Zn and sensitive indicators of dehydration(Rb/TiO_(2),Ba/Yb,and H_(2)O+),suggesting that no detectable Zn isotope fractionation has occurred during the deep subduction of mafic rocks even into>200 km,which is attributed to the limited loss of Zn during prograde metamorphism and dehydration.Thus,Zn isotopic compositions of the deeply subducted mafic rocks are inherited from their protoliths.Considering that these metamorphosed rocks have higherδ66Zn than that of the mantle value by up to 0.2‰,the recycled/subducted mafic crust can incorporate isotopically heavy Zn into the mantle.The subducted slabs may partially melt and generate a metasomatized mantle,resulting in changes of Zn isotopic composition of the hybridized mantle as have been observed in some mantle xenoliths and basaltic lavas.

The positive correlations of CaO/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> vs to MgO and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> vs. SiO<sub>2</sub> are of signs of the olivine and clinopyroxene fractionation in the variation trend of the area rocks. Positive correlations K<sub>2</sub>O/P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> vs with SiO<sub>2</sub> and La/Sm vs. K<sub>2</sub>O/P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> demonstrate contamination of magma with the continental crust.

Linear trends in the variation diagram of Nb/Y vs. Zr/Y, introduce two different source regions: a MORB source and the other continental crust for the rocks which are the genesis. The variations of Y/Nb vs. Zr/Nb and Rb/Y vs. Nb/Y reveal a crustal contamination of the magma originated from the MORB source. Geochemical studies represent that the area’s rocks were derived from the 15% melting of a mantle source of MORB type with spinel facies within a continental environment, which was contaminated by varying degrees of continental crustal rocks.

文摘Compositional peculiarities of the siliceous high-Mg series(SHMS)rocks formed at the Archean-Paleoproterozoic boundary as a function of plume activity are discussed using example of Early Paleoproterozoic mafic volcanic rocks of the Vodlozero Domain,Fennoscandian Shield.These rocks are characterized by wide variations in Mg#(33-67)and Cr contents(25-1123 ppm),LREE enrichment,and weakly negative_(εNd)(from-0.7 to-2.9).The high Gd/Yb ratio in the primitive high-Mg rocks of the Vodlozero Domain suggests their generation from a garnet-bearing source.At the same time,their negative _(εNd)in combination with LREE enrichment points to the crustal contamination.A new model was proposed to explain the remarkable global-scale similarity of SHMS.Such rocks can be generated by the contamination of a high-degree(30%)partial melt derived from a depleted mantle.The lower crustal sanukitoid-type rocks can be considered as a universal crustal contaminant.Modeling showed that such mixing can provide the observed narrow_(εNd)variations in Early Paleoproterozoic volcanics.The Neoarchean sanukitoid suites,which are widespread on all cratons,presumably composed the lower crust at the beginning of the Paleoproterozoic.Therefore,this mechanism can be considered universal for the genesis of the SHMS rocks.The high-to low-Cr rock series can be produced by the fractionation of the mafic melt coupled with an insignificant crustal assimilation of felsic end members of the sanukitoid suite of the Vodlozero Domain en route to the surface,as suggested by the positive correlation of_(εNd)with Cr and Mg#,negative correlation with Th,and slight decrease of_(εNd)in the more evolved varieties.

文摘Here we present zircon U–Pb–Hf and wholerock major and trace element studies of eastern Ningzhen W-Mo-ore-related magmatic rocks,Yushan and Longwangshan granitic rocks,to constrain their form timing,magma sources,and tectonic settings.The results showed that the two plutons were formed in the Early Cretaceous with;Pb/;U ages of 107.8±1.2 and 105.2±1.5 Ma(;Pb/;U),respectively.The trapped/residual zircons are mainly distributed in 2.0–2.5 Ga.The two intrusions are characterized by high silicon(68.60–73.99%),high aluminum(13.56–15.02%),high Mg#(47–55),high Sr,Sr/Y,LaN/YN,and low Yb,falling into high Mg#adakitic rock region.The zirconεHf(t)values of the two intrusions range from-24.8 to-13.2,indicating an ancient continental crust in their magma sources.The average Ti-inzircon temperature is 689°C,slightly higher than those of other high-Mg adakitic rocks in the lower Yangtze River belt,but lower than those of high-Mg adakitic rocks in the Southern Tanlu Fault(STLF).Zircon Ce;/Ce;show low oxygen fugacity(LWS-1:3–400,average 92;sample ZYS-4:9–382,average 93).These geochemical features indicate a thickened lower continental crust in the Eastern Ningzhen region in a subduction setting.Comparing the geochemical characteristics of the eastern Ningzhen to the western Ningzhen and other areas in the Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt(LYRMB)and the high-Mg ore-barren adakitic rocks of the STLF,we propose that the magmatic rocks from eastern Ningzhen may be mainly from a thickened lower continental crust that hybridized with a very small part of mantle sources,while the west Ningzhen magmatic rocks may have experienced a higher degree of mantle contaminations in their source.The metallogenic differences between the eastern(W–Mo)and western(Cu–Fe–Pb–Zn)parts of Ningzhen also indicate different proportions of crustal materials in their magma source.
文摘长城系是华北克拉通统一结晶基底形成后的首套沉积盖层,其碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学及其Hf同位素特征分析对探讨地层形成时代、源区特征以及基底演化均具重要研究意义。本文对华北克拉通中部黎城地区长城系下部地层的碎屑锆石进行了U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素分析。结果表明,该区长城系碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄呈现了2.55~2.45Ga、2.15~2.0Ga和~1.92Ga等三个主峰期,同时存在3.5~3.1Ga和2.9~2.7Ga的年龄次峰期。最年轻碎屑锆石的207 Pb/206 Pb加权平均年龄限定了该区长城系沉积发生于1.76Ga之后。碎屑锆石的年龄分布和Hf同位素特征与华北克拉通中、南部基底物质记录的地质事件高度相似,区内长城系地层与南部熊耳地区长城系地层可对比性强,证明太行山南段在1.76Ga后已与南部熊耳裂谷盆地相连,其沉积物质均主要来自华北克拉通中、南部地区。其中,3.5~3.4Ga的古老碎屑锆石εHf(t)=-8.6~-4.6,揭示中、南部地区存在古太古代地壳物质。新太古代早期2.9~2.7Ga的锆石εHf(t)以正值为主(占比85%),它们的t C DM=3190~2774Ma,与其结晶年龄相同或接近,证明华北克拉通南部在新太古代早期以新生地壳生长为主。新太古代晚期2.55~2.45Ga峰期的锆石也以正的εHf(t)值为主(占比69%),而2.15~2.0Ga峰期锆石的εHf(t)值大多偏负(占比56%),说明华北克拉通南部地区从新太古代末期的新生地壳增生为主伴有陆壳再造转变为古元古代中期以古老陆壳物质再造为主,并有少量新生陆壳增生;古元古代晚期~1.92Ga年龄峰期的碎屑锆石εHf(t)=-11.9~+2.0,揭示至古元古代末期华北克拉通中南部进入到以古老陆壳物质再造为主的演化阶段。
文摘The well preserved eclogitic rocks of the Tso Morari dome in eastern Ladakh, northwest Himalaya, provide information relevant to the exhumation of high pressure/low temperature rocks, and the early stage of the Himalayan orogeny. The Tso Morari unit outcrops south of the Indus suture zone (Fig.1). The eclogitic dome is underlined on its eastern part by the Zildat normal fault where serpentinite lenses and partially hydrated peridotites are abundant. The close association of the high pressure rocks and serpentinites suggests a possible role of serpentinites in the exhumation of ultrahigh\|pressure rocks. To evaluate this possibility, geochemical analyses were carried out on the serpentinites closely associated with the Tso Morari eclogites.
