Low pressure granulite facies gneisses together with late granites are outcroped in the region. Three biotite samples from a garnet segregation, a syenogranite and a granite-pegmetite were measured with 40Ar/39Ar incremental heating technique. Biotites from the garnet segregation give an 40Ar/39Ar plateau age of 504±1Ma. Biotites from the syenogranite yield an 40Ar/39Ar plateau age of 494 ±1 Ma. Biotites from the granite-pegmatite give an 40 Ar/39 Ar plateay age of 486±1Ma. They verify 500 Ma thermal event called 'Pan African event' by previous K-Ar and Rb-Sr data. They are cooling ages of the biotites when the paleogeotherm of the area droped to the K-Ar closure temperature for biotite.展开更多

We present new zircon U-Pb, whole-rock geochemistry, and Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotopic data for the Litang biotite monzogranites, Yidun terrane. The biotite monzogranites have a zircon U-Pb age of 206.1±1.0 Ma(MSWD=1.9,n=30), which indicates Late Triassic magmatism. The biotite monzogranites display I-type affinity, high Na_2O(3.38-3.60 wt%) contente,medii SiO_2(67.12-69.13 wt%), and low P_2 O_5 contents(0.10~0.12 wt%). They enriched in Rb,and Ba and depleted in Nb and Ta, with negative Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu*=0.74—0.81). They have evolved Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotopic composition, i.e.,(^(87) Sr/^(86 )Sr)i=0.714225 to 0.714763, negative ?_(Nd(t)) values of -2.0 to-2.6 with two-stage Nd model ages ranging from 1.01 to 1.05 Ga, negative ?_(Ht)(t)) values o f-3.4 to-4.1 with two-stage Hf model ages of 1.85 to1.88 Ga, suggesting a matured crustal sources. Their low Al_2O_3/TiO_2 ratios and medium Cao/Na_2O ratios, medium Mg~# and SiO_2 contents, low [molar Al_2O_3/(MgO+FeO^T)] values, and high [molar Cao/(MgO+FeO^T)] values indicate that the Litang biotite monzogranite was formed by partial melting of metabasaltic rocks. Based on the previous studies, we propose that the Litang biotite monzogranite derived from the westward subduction and closure of the Ganzi-Litang ocean during the Late Triassic-The mantle wedge-derived mafic melts provided sufficient heat for partial melting of ancient metabasalt protolith within the middle-lower crust.展开更多

Biotite was treated as symmetric Fe-Mg-Al^VI-Ti quaternary solid solution, and calcichornblende was simplified as symmetric Fe-Mg binary solid solution. The resulting thermometer mayrebuild the input garnet-biotite temperatures well within an uncertainty of + - 50 deg C. Errors of+- 0.2 GPa for input pressure, along with analytical errors of = - 5 percent for the relevantmineral compositions, may lead to a random error of + - 16 deg C for this thermometer, so that thethermometer is almost independent of pressure estimates. The thermometer may clearly discriminatedifferent rocks of lower amphibolite, upper amphibolite and granulite facies on a high confidencelevel. It is assumed that there is a ferric iron content of 11.6 percent in biotite, and that theiron content in calcic hornblende may be calculated according to the method of Dale et al. (2000).This thermometer can be used for medium- to high-grade metabasites and metapelites.展开更多

Garnet with growth zoning is also found in the kyanite zone.In the light of microarea compositional variation of Grt and Bt, the temperatuIe and pressuIe at the progressive, peak and post peak metamorphic stages are determined by correctly using GrtBt thermometer and GASP barometer. On this basis, a counterclockwise P-T-t path can be constructed, which reflects the closing process of an ensialic rift belt in this region during the Early Proterozoic.展开更多

The sources lie in that: (1) ideal Fe Mg mixing in garnet and biotite is assumed; (2) non ideal properties of both garnet and biotite are not considered completely; (3) minor elements—Mn, Ca in garnet, and Al Ⅵ, Ti, Mn in biotite are almost neglected; (4) effects of pressure on equilibrium, although little, are almost not taken into consideration, and experiments were conducted at one fixed pressure; (5) the data used for regression analysis is too scarce in quantity; (6) internal consistency of the data used for empirical calibration is not fully guaranteed; (7) the authors take energy parameters W’s (Margule’s parameters) independent of pressure and temperature, though the former are actually the functions of the latter items; and (8) the most important composition activity relationship is not consistent with the mineral compositions used for calibration. Furthermore, it is believed that empirical calibrations cannot avoid the following problems: (1) effect of retrograde metamorphism; (2) inconsistent data set; (3) effect of pressure on temperature estimation; and (4) effect of Fe 3+ calculation. Exact experimental work should be done in order to accurately calibrate the geothermometer in which the Margule’s parameters should be treated as the functions of pressure, temperature, and mineral compositions.展开更多

Its pinkish red blood stains that seem anomalous ones are studied by modern techniques (notably by resolute optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray). Exploration by these techniques of a blood stain located on the face permits us to discover some red-colour particles (hematite, biotite and cinnabar) of exogenous material in this stain. We finally characterize these red-colour particles and try to explain their presences in the blood stain.

文摘秦岭造山带早中生代花岗质岩浆及成矿作用非常发育,是探讨地壳深部物质组成及成矿关系的重要地区之一,学者已从岩石学、矿床学和地球化学等角度开展了众多研究,但对成矿作用与花岗岩和地壳深部物质组成的认识仍不太清楚。黑云母是中酸性岩中常见的暗色矿物,也是指示成矿可能性的重要矿物之一。因此,本文对秦岭该期花岗质岩石中黑云母成分开展研究,为解决该问题探索新途径。对秦岭早中生代花岗质岩石中黑云母成分的研究结果显示,北秦岭和南秦岭两个构造单元中黑云母成分和形成物理条件存在系统差异,揭示其岩浆物源有别,进而制约了其成矿种类特征。北秦岭早中生代花岗质岩石中黑云母的成分和形成条件变化范围小,以MgO(8%~13%)、TiO_(2)(3%~5%)和Cl(0.02%~0.6%)含量较高,F(0.2%~0.4%)含量较低,以及较高的氧逸度(log f O_(2)值为-16.96~-14.62)和温度(682~771℃)为特征;而南秦岭的成分和形成条件总体变化范围较大,具有MgO(3%~15%)、TiO_(2)(2%~4.5%)、Cl(0.01%~0.18%)含量较低,F(0.1%~1.6%)含量较高,以及较低的氧逸度(log f O_(2)值为-20.88~-15.08)和温度(536~754℃)。此外,研究还显示,黑云母的形成压力与岩浆演化程度和矿物组合相关,当岩石中出现黑云母+白云母±石榴子石组合时,压力较高。秦岭两个构造单元中黑云母成分和形成条件的差异,特别是氧逸度和Cl含量的明显不同,揭示各自的成矿种类和成矿潜力不同,如北秦岭较高的氧逸度和Cl含量,形成铜矿的潜力比南秦岭大。同时,两个构造单元中黑云母的成分差异,还揭示了岩浆物源及深部物质组成的不同,即北秦岭比南秦岭具有更为年轻的地壳,这与区域同位素填图示踪的深部物质组成差异基本一致。由此可见,对区域上同时代花岗质岩石中黑云母成分的研究,不仅可以揭示岩浆演化、岩浆结晶过程物理化学条件等,还可示踪深部物质组成的空间变化与差异及成矿种类和潜力,有望成为探测深部物质组成的新方法和了解区域成矿背景和潜力的新途径。
