Petrology and Metamorphic P-T Paths of Metamorphic Zones in the Huangyuan Group,Central Qilian Block,NW China

The Central Qilian Block is a Precambrian block in the Qilian Orogen,which has long drawn international attention for the study of orogeny and continental dynamics.The Huangyuan Group in the Datong area is one of the Precambrian metamorphic basement units in the Central Qilian Block and reflects metamorphism in the Barrovian garnet zone and sillimanite zone from south to north.Based on detailed fieldwork,this study presents a systematic study of petrography,mineral chemistry and phase equilibria of schists and gneisses from the two metamorphic zones.The garnet metamorphic zone is composed of micaschist,garnet-bearing micaschist and felsic leptynite,with interlayered plagioclase amphibolite.The sillimanite metamorphic zone consists of garnet-bearing biotite micaschist,sillimanite-bearing biotite-plagioclase gneiss and felsic leptynite.Garnet from the garnet metamorphic zone shows growth zoning with increasing almandine and pyrope and decreasing spessartine from core to rim.Garnet from the sillimanite metamorphic zone is almost homogeneous.Towards the outer rim,the contents of almandine and pyrope slightly decrease and grossular slightly increase.Biotite in both metamorphic zones is ferro-biotite.Plagioclase is oligoclase in garnet metamorphic zone and andesine in sillimanite metamorphic zone.Phase equilibrium modeling of a sample from garnet metamorphic zone resulted in a clockwise P-T path with a prograde stage(4.5–5.0 kbar,520–530℃),a peak P stage(9.8–10.2 kbar,560–570℃),a stage of thermal relaxation(8.0–8.5 kbar,580–590℃)and finally a retrograde stage(6.8–7.0 kbar,560–580℃).Thermodynamic modeling of a sample from the sillimanite metamorphic zone indicates a prograde stage(5.5–6.0 kbar,540–550℃)and a peak stage(7.8–8.5 kbar,660–690℃).The results indicate that the Huangyuan Group experienced medium-pressure amphibolite-facies metamorphism,which resulted from continental-continental collision between the Qaidam Block and the Central Qilian Block.

Calculation of the Model of Coesite Inclusions and Analysis of Their Retrometamorphic Paths

The process and path of retrometamorphism of coesite have great significance to our understanding of the P-T tracks of the exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks. Most of the coesites in the eclogite from Shima, Anhui Province, the Dabie Mountains, China, are found degraded to quartz partly or wholly, with ruptures occurring in the shells, outside which include the coesite and quartz. According to the microscopic observation, the sample of coesite inclusion is composed of garnet, quartz and coesite, based on which we have built a three-shelled composite sphere model to compute the transition of coesite. Based on the crystal growth formulas and pressure conditions of the ruptures in the garnet, we have calculated the radius of the quartz sphere, which depends on temperature, and eventually drawn the different retrometamorphic paths for different retrometamorphism rates.

The Lanshantou Kyanite-bearing Eclogite with Coesite Inclusions in the Sulu Ultrahigh-Pressure Metamorphic Belt and Its PTt Path

Coesite inclusions are found in kyanite from the Lanshantou eclogite in the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt. This discovery extends the stable region of kyanite to over 2.4 GPa. As an important UHP metamorphic belt in China, the Sulu eclogite belt is the product of A-subduction induced by strong compression of the Yellow Sea terrane to the Jiaodong-northereastern Jiangsu terrane during the interaction of the Eurasian plate and Palaeo-Pacific plate in the Indosinian. It stretches about 350 km and contains over 1000 eclogite bodies. Most eclogites in this belt belong to Groups B and C in the classification of Coleman et al., and commonly contain kyanite, while the Lanshantou eclogite belongs to Group A and contains coesite. The MgO, CaO and FeO contents in garnet and pyroxene show regular variation from the core to the rim, which reveals the PTt paths of progressive metamorphism during the Early Mesozoic (240-200 Ma) and retrogressive metamorphism during the Late Mesozoic and Cenozoic exhumation.

P-T path of metamorphism and U-Pb monazite and zircon age of the Kitoy terrane: Implication for Neoarchean collision in SW Siberian Craton

The first data on P-T metamorphic conditions coupled with U-Pb monazite and zircon age obtained for the Neoarchean Kitoy granulite-gneiss terrane(SW Siberian Craton).Alumina gneisses of the Kitoy terrane indicate two-staged metamorphic evolution.The first stage of regional metamorphism(M1)occurred at high-amphibolite facies conditions at T=780-800℃ and P=8-9 kbar.The second stage(M2)belongs to MT-HT/LP type of metamorphism with the wide temperature interval 600-750℃ and pressure 2-4 kbar.Two age peaks were established on the basis of U-Pb monazite and zircon dating in garnet-anthophyllite gneisses.Both of them correspond to the Neoarchean age:the age of M1 falls into the interval of ca.2489-2496 Ma,the age of M2-ca.2446-2456 Ma.The high-temperature metamorphism of the Kitoy block and nearly coeval granitoid magmatism can be an evidence for the Neoarchean collision in SW Siberian craton.

Integrated P-T Paths of the High-Pressure Rocks and Their Tectonic Implications for the Mountain-Building of the North Qilian, China

After the integration of petrographic study, geothermobarometry and Gibbs method, the synthetic P-T paths for the rocks from different geological profiles in the North Qilian, China, have been derived. The composite P-T paths from different methods indicate that all the high-pressure rocks in the Qilian area recorded P-T paths with clockwise loops starting at the blueschist facies, later reaching peak metamorphism at the blueschist facies, eclogite fades or epidote-amphibolite facies and ending up with the greenschist facies. The incremental Ar-Ar dating shows that the plateau ages for the high-pressure rocks range from 410 to 443 Ma. The plateau ages could be used as a minimum age constraint for the subduction that resulted in the formation of these high-pressure rocks in the Qilian area. It is proposed that the late-stage decompressional and cooling P-T paths with ends at the greenschist facies for these high-pressure rocks probably reflect the uplift process which could occur after shifting the arc-trench tectonic system to the system of continental orogenic belts. The retrograde paths for the high-pressure rocks in the North Qilian tectonic belt are characterized by dramatic decompression with slight cooling, which suggests very rapid exhumation. Petrography supports that the mountain-building for the Qilian mountain range could undergo a very fast process which caused rapid uplift and denudation.

Application of General Shear Theory to the Study of Formation Mechanism of the Metamorphic Core Complex:A Case Study of Xiaoqinling in Central China

The kinematic vorticity number and strain of the mylonitic zone related to the detachment fault increase from ESE to WNW along the moving direction of the upper plate of the Xiaoqinling metamorphic core complex (XMCC) and the geometry of quartz c-axis fabrics changes progressively from crossed girdles to single girdles in the same direction. Therefore, pure shear is dominant in the ESE part of the XMCC while simple shear becomes increasingly important towards WNW. However, the shear type does not change with the strain across the shear zone, thus the variation of shear type is of significance in indicating the formation mechanism. The granitic plutons within the XMCC came from the deep source and their emplacement was an active and forceful upwelling prior to the detachment faulting. The PTt path demonstrates that magmatism is an important cause for the formation of the XMCC. The formation mechanism of the XMCC is supposed to be active plutonism and passive detachment. Crustal thickening and magmatic doming caused necking extension with pure shear, and magmatic heating and doming resulted in detachment extension with simple shear and formed the XMCC.

Spinel + quartz-bearing ultrahigh-temperature granulites from Xumayao,Inner Mongolia Suture Zone,North China Craton:Petrology,phase equilibria and counterclockwise p-T path

The Khondalite Belt within the Inner Mongolia Suture Zone （IMSZ） in the North China Craton is a classic example for Paleoproterozoic ultrahigh-temperature （UHT） metamorphism. Here we report new spinel-bearing metapelitic granulites from a new locality at Xumayao within the southern domain of the IMSZ. Petrological studies and thermodynamic modeling of the spinel -- quartz-bearing assemblage shows that these rocks experienced extreme metamorphism at UHT conditions. Spinel occurs in two textural settings：（1） high Xzn（Zn/（Mg ＋ FeH -- Zn） = 0.071--0.232） spinel with perthitic K-feld- spar, sillimanite and quartz in the rock matrix; and （2）low Xzn （0.045-0.070） spinel as inclusions within garnet porphyroblasts in association with quartz and sillimanite. Our phase equilibria modeling indicates two main stages during the metamorphic evolution of these rocks：（l） near-isobaric cooling from 975 ℃ to 875 ℃ around 8 kbar, represented by the formation of garnet porphyroblasts from spinel and quartz; and（2）cooling and decompression from 850 ℃, 8 kbar to below 750 ℃- 6.5 kbar, represented by the break-down of garnet. The spinel ＋ quartz assemblage is considered to have been stable at peak metamorphism, formed through the break-down of cordierite, indi- caring a near isothermal compression process. Our study confirms the regional extent of UHT metamor- phism within the IMSZ associated with the Paleoproterozoic subduction-collision process.

Metamorphic petrology and geology in China:A review

The development of metamorphic petrology to metamorphic geology in China has a long history.Ancient basement metamorphic rocks are distributed primarily in the North China Craton,the Yangtze Block and Tarim Craton.They are mainly made up of plutonic gneiss and metamorphosed supercrust rock,transformed to granulite facies through Archean Paleoproterozoic.Many of the Paleoproterozoic metamorphic rocks have undergone high-pressure granulite facies metamorphism with a clockwise metamorphic evolution path.The ultrahigh temperature (UHT)granulites from the Late Paleoproterozoic are found in North China Craton.Many high-precision chronological data have allowed preliminary construction of the formation and evolutionary framework of different metamorphic basements.Primarily there are low-temperature and high-pressure blue schist,high-temperature and high-pressure granulite and ultrahigh-pressure (UHP)eclogite facies metamorphic rocks in the Phanerozoic orogenic belt.The discovery of eclogite in the Sulu orogen and a large quantity of coesite in its country rocks show that there was a deep subduction of voluminous continental materials during the collision process between the Yangtze block and the North China Craton in the Early Mesozoic phase.From the studies of,for instance,organic matter vitrinite reflectance,illite crystallinity,illite (muscovite)polytype and illite (muscovite)b dimension,the Late Paleozoic strata in the eastern region of Inner Mongolia and the north-central region of NE China have only experienced diagenesis to an extremely low-grade metamorphism.The discovery of impact-metamorphosed rocks in Xiuyan area of Liaoning province has enriched the type and category of metamorphic rocks in China.The phase equilibrium method has been widely used in the study of metamorphism of middle and high-grade metamorphic rocks.On the basis of existing geologic surveys and monographic study results, different scholars have respectively compiled 1:1500000 Metamorphic Geological Map and Specifications of Qinghai Tibet Plateau and its Adjacent Areas,1:2500000 Metamorphic Tectonic Map of China, and the 1:5000000 Metamorphic Geological Map and Specifications of China,among others repectively, which have systematically summarized the research results of metamorphic petrology and metamorphic geology in China.

Metamorphic gradient modification in the Early Cretaceous Northern Andes subduction zone:A record from thermally overprinted high-pressure rocks

New field observations and petrological data from Early Cretaceous metamorphic rocks in the Central Cordillera of the Colombian Andes allowed the recognition of thermally overprinted high-pressure rocks derived from oceanic crust protoliths.The obtained metamorphic path suggests that the rocks evolved from blueschist to eclogite facies towards upper amphibolite to high-pressure granulite facies transitional conditions.Eclogite facies conditions,better recorded in mafic protoliths,are revealed by relic lawsonite and phengite,bleb-to worm-like diopside-albite symplectites,as well as garnet core composition.Upper amphibolite to high pressure granulite facies overprinting is supported by coarse-grained brown-colored Ti-rich amphibole,augite,and oligoclase recrystallization,as well as the record of partial melting leucosomes.Phase equilibria and pressure-temperature(P-T)path modeling suggest initial high-pressure metamorphic conditions M1 yielding 18.2-24.5 kbar and 465-580℃,followed by upper amphibolite to high pressure granulite facies overprinting stage M2 yielding 6.5-14.2 kbar and 580-720℃.Retrograde conditions M3 obtained through chlorite thermometry yield temperatures ranging around 286-400℃at pressures below 6.5-11 kbar.The obtained clockwise P-T path,the garnet zonation pattern revealing a decrease in X_(grs)/X_(prp)related to Mg#increment from core to rim,the presence of partial melting veins,as well as regional constraints,document the modification of the thermal structure of the active subduction zone in Northern Andes during the Early Cretaceous.Such increment of the metamorphic gradient within the subduction interface is associated with slab roll-back geodynamics where hot mantle inflow was triggered.This scenario is also argued by the reported trench-ward magmatic arc migration and multiple extensional basin formation during this period.The presented example constitutes the first report of Cretaceous roll-back-related metamorphism in the Caribbean and Andean realms,representing an additional piece of evidence for a margin-scale extensional event that modified the northwestern border of South America during the Early Cretaceous.

Thermal history of a Late Mesoproterozoic paired metamorphic belt(?)during Rodinia assembly:New insight from medium-pressure granulites from the Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt, Northwestern India

In this study, we investigate the possible record of a Late Mesoproterozoic paired metamorphic belt in the Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt(ADMB), NW India using a suite of supracrustal and metaigneous granulites from the Pilwa-Chinwali granulite terrain at the north-western margin of the ADMB. Using metamorphic reaction textures, mineral chemistry, metamorphic reaction history, geothermobarometric computations and electron microprobe dating of monazite in 5 samples of pelitic granulite, leptynite gneiss, enderbite and charnockite, we have deduced a medium-pressure granulite facies metamorphism(P between 4.9 and 6.8 kbar, T> 760-815℃) along a heating-cooling, counterclockwise P-T path between 1.09 and 1.01 Ga. When collated with published metamorphic and chronological constraints and geological settings of the adjoining crustal domains of the ADMB, these findings provide new insights into the developments of two tectonic domains of contrasting thermal gradients at ca. 1.0 Ga, consistent with metamorphic transformations in tectonically thickened middle-lower crustal sections during continental collision to continental subduction and in the root zones of spatially adjacent island arc, as part of the Rodinia supercontinent assembly event.

造山带榴辉岩的变质作用P-T-t轨迹研究进展

板块俯冲和折返是板块构造理论的重要组成部分,也是固体地球科学研究的一个前沿方向。俯冲/碰撞造山带内的高压-超高压变质岩经历了俯冲至地球深部而后折返至地壳浅部的复杂地质过程,反演它们的P-T-t轨迹是高压-超高压变质作用研究的重要课题,也是揭示造山带构造演化的一个重要途径。造山带榴辉岩作为高压-超高压变质岩中的一类典型代表,常保留多个变质阶段的矿物组合,较完整地记录了造山带演化的关键信息,是反演P-T-t轨迹的理想样品。根据详细的岩相学观察和矿物成分分析,能识别出榴辉岩不同变质阶段的矿物组合。在此基础上,选取合适的地质温压计或采用相平衡模拟,可获得岩石相应变质阶段的温压条件(P-T)。如何获得多阶段变质年龄(t)和如何匹配变质作用的温压条件和年龄信息,是反演榴辉岩P-T-t轨迹的两个关键问题。本文针对榴辉岩中的锆石、金红石、榍石和褐帘石这四个适用于U-Pb定年的副矿物,从结晶条件和封闭温度等角度评估它们可能记录的年龄信息。结果表明,受限于结晶的温压条件或结晶后的改造作用,单种矿物定年难以获得多阶段年龄,一些实际研究中需要采用多种矿物或多个同位素体系实施定年分析。对于将副矿物从岩石中分选出来再实施原位微区定年的方法,测定微量元素和包裹体矿物组合并不总能准确限定这些定年副矿物结晶于哪个变质阶段,这将影响副矿物年龄意义的解析。观察分析定年副矿物在榴辉岩中的结构,能够厘清它们与岩石主要组成矿物之间的成因联系,进而可通过主要组成矿物限定副矿物的结晶温压条件和年龄意义。因此,具有岩相学结构制约的副矿物原位定年分析(“岩石年代学”方法)是耦合变质岩石学(P-T)和地质年代学(t)结果的重要手段,应在今后的变质作用研究中得到更多的重视和运用。与此同时,进一步研究变质分解/重结晶、熔/流体交代、脆/韧性变形等地质作用对副矿物定年同位素体系的影响。变质作用的时间信息不仅包括通过同位素定年获得的绝对年龄,也包括变质作用所持续的时间。受制于定年测试的精度,一些短时间尺度(≤1Myr)的变质作用难以通过同位素年代学方法进行限制。基于矿物的成分扩散、结构演变、力学性质转变等模拟方法,可用于揭示和限定这类变质事件的时间尺度,以此精细刻画岩石的变质P-T-t轨迹,有助于深入理解造山带榴辉岩的形成过程和机制。

The Metamorphic and Deformational History of a Continental Collision Zone and its Geodynamic Process——as Evidenced by Qinling Complex,Western Henan,China

The Qinling orogenic belt is a collision zone between the North China and Yangtze cratons. The Qinling Complex is a Precambrian metamorphic complex, developed in the inner zone of the orogenic belt , which records the metamorphic and deformational history and PTt path of the regional meta-morphism of the collision zone . The present paper studies the metamorphic and deformational history and the PTt path of various tectono-metamorphic cycles in order to describe the geodynamic processes prevailing in that part of the Qinling orogenic belt since Proterozoic.The tectonometamorphic history and evolution of the Qinling Complex is divided into two stages: the stage of formation and the stage of modification During the stage of formation dated as Proterozoic,three deformational sequences are recognized. The amphibolite facies regional metamorphism is earlier than or synchronous with the first or second phase of folding. Three metamorphic zones, i.e. And-Ms ,Sil- Ms, Sil Kfs are delimited. During the stage of modification , the emplacement of Caledonian granite , superimposed thermal aureole (garnet K feldspar zone )and the development of ductile shear zones are major events.Metamorphic reactions are reconstructed in terms of analysis of re-equilibrium textures. Geothermobarometric calculations are conducted to calibrate the PT conditions of metamorphism .The metamorphic PTt paths have been estabh'shed. The PTt path of the Proterozoic tectonometamorphic cycle shows a clockwise pattern and is characterized by prominent decompression. The PTt path of the Caledonian tectonometamorphic cycle is characterized first by PT rising ,then isothermal decompression (rapid uplift), and finally by isobaric cooling The PTt path of the two tectonometamorphic cycles evidence the geodynamic processes: two major stages of collision and uplift in the Proterozoic and Caledonian Hercynian periods, respectively, during the evolution of Qinling orogenic belt.

The early Proterozoic metamorphic geodynamics of the Jiao-Liao Massif, east China

Considering the mineral evolution and tectonic deformational history of the early Proterozoic metamorphic sequences in the Jiao Liao Massif, very similar CCW PTt D paths were established in east Liaoning and east Shandong district within this massif. Their style displays the process of developing and closing of some rifted depression belts within the rather stable continental crust of the Jiao Liao Massif during early Proterozoic, and they may be treated as a common kind of metamorphic geodynamic model.

华北南缘舞钢太华杂岩变泥质岩变质作用:变质P-T轨迹与锆石U-Pb年龄

太华杂岩在华北中部造山带南缘舞钢地区存在出露,本文选取该地3个变泥质片麻岩为研究对象,对其进行了岩石学、相平衡模拟和锆石U-Pb年龄分析等综合研究。结果显示其普遍保留了三个变质阶段的矿物组合:进变质阶段(M1)矿物组合主要以矿物包裹体保存在石榴子石变斑晶之中,峰期变质阶段(M2)矿物组合主要保存在基质中,退变质阶段(M3)矿物组合以石榴子石变斑晶周围的后成合晶矿物组合为代表。石榴镁铁闪石黑云二长片麻岩M1矿物组合为Bt1+Pl1+Ilm1+Qz1±Amp1,M2矿物组合为Grt2+Bt2+Pl2+Amp2+Qz2+Mt2±Ilm2,其P-T条件为810~855℃、0.8~1.0GPa,M3矿物组合为:Bt3+Pl3+Qz3+Amp3±Ilm3±Mt3。2个石榴夕线黑云片麻岩M1矿物组合为Bt1+Sil1+Mt1+Ilm1+Qz1±Pl1±Rt1,M2矿物组合为Grt2+Bt2+Sil2+Qz2±Pl2±Ilm2±Mt2,其P-T条件为795~850℃、0.7~0.9GPa,M3矿物组合为Bt3+Sil3+Qz3±Pl3±Ilm3±Mt3±Rt3。结果表明舞钢变泥质片麻岩记录了近等温降压(TTD)的顺时针P-T轨迹,这样的P-T轨迹反映了一个碰撞造山的过程。锆石U-Pb年龄结果指示这些片麻岩源区时代为~2.86Ga,原岩形成年龄为~2.36Ga,在约1.96~1.84Ga期间经历了高级变质作用,而约1.84~1.80Ga可能代表了其退变质作用时间。这表明中部造山带的南部可能经历了一期拉长的构造-热事件(约1.96~1.80Ga),持续时间长达~160Myr之久,可能代表华北克拉通东部陆块和西部陆块在古元古代沿着中部造山带的俯冲-碰撞造山过程。

P-T Paths Derived from Garnet Growth Zoning in Danba Domal Metamorphic Terrain, Sichuan Province, West China

Danba （丹巴） domal metamorphic terrain belongs to Songpan （松潘）-Ganze （甘孜） orogenic belt, where typical Barrovian and Buchan metamorphic zones are preserved. The former included chlorite, biotite, garnet, staurolite, kyanite and sillimanite zones, while the latter only developed silimanite＋muscovite and sillimanite＋K-feldspar zones. Integrated study has been carried on metamorphic reactions of garnet production and consumption, P-T paths and P-T-X-M phase relation and thermal tectonic model for Danba metamorphic zones. Petrological textures in thin sections show that garnet production and consumption in kyanite-sillimanite zone is mainly attributed to ChI＋Ms＋PI＋Q= Grt＋Bt＋H20 and kyanite=sillimanite respectively. Based on mineral compositions, the geothermo- barometry gives an average P, T condition of （4.9±0.3）×10^8 Pa, 543±30 ℃ for the first growth stage of the garnet and （5.8±0.3）×10^8 Pa, 534±29 ℃ for the second stage of garnet growth respectively. Anti-counter clockwise P-T paths were drawn using Gibbs method by NCMnKFMASH system for sample G98686 in the kyanite zone. The P-T-X-M modeling for the first mineral assemblages shows that the prediction is similar to the measured values in gossular, almandine and spessartine but mole fraction of pyrope and Fe/（Fe＋Mg） deviated far from the contours; while that for the second mineral assemblages exhibits that the prediction is consistent with the measured value of pyrope, grossular content and Fe/（Fe＋Mg） of garnet. A thermal tectonic model that there are at least three structure levels across the thrust-decollement zones is presented according to the P-T paths, metamorphic grades and deformation styles for the staurolite-kyanite zone of the Barrovian type metamorphism, which will provide some constraints for the evolution of the nappe complex.

河南洛宁太华变质杂岩区早元古代变质作用P-T-t轨迹及其大地构造意义

太华变质杂岩广泛出露于华北克拉通南缘,总体呈SW-NE向展布。在河南洛宁地区,太华变质杂岩以TTG片麻岩、斜长角闪片麻岩和变泥质片麻岩为主。斜长角闪片麻岩中可识别出三个阶段的变质矿物组合:进变质阶段矿物组合(M1)为石榴子石变斑晶内部的包裹体矿物组合(Amp1+Pl1+Qtz),变质高峰期矿物组合(M2)为石榴子石变斑晶边部和基质矿物组合(Grt2+Amp2+Pl2+Qtz),退变质阶段矿物组合(M3)为"白眼圈"状后成合晶组合(Amp3+Pl3+Qtz)。运用矿物温度计与压力计估算三个阶段的P-T条件分别为:进变质阶段约600～680℃/7.0～7.6kbar,变质高峰期为680～790℃/9.5～10.7kbar,退变质阶段为580～720℃/6.5～7.6kbar。变泥质片麻岩中保留了进变质阶段(M1)包裹体矿物组合(Bt1+Pl1+Qtz)和峰期变质阶段(M2)矿物组合(Grt2+Bt2+Pl2+Qtz)两个阶段。其中未发现后期退变质反应结构,石榴子石中也未发现成分环带。P-T条件估算结果分别为:M1阶段620～710℃/4.9～5.6kbar,M2阶段710～760℃/7.3～8.3kbar。洛宁地区太华变质杂岩记录了顺时针的近等温降压型的P-T轨迹,可能经历了与华北中部造山带其它杂岩类似的变质演化过程,推测其形成于华北克拉通东部陆块和西部陆块沿中部造山带的拼合过程中。SIMS与ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年表明,斜长角闪片麻岩记录了1938～1967Ma的变质事件,比华北中部造山带其它变质杂岩区所广泛记录的～1850Ma变质事件早了约100Ma,暗示中部造山带的拼合可能是一个长期的、复杂的过程。

胶北地体多期变质事件的P-T-t轨迹及其对胶-辽-吉带形成与演化的制约

胶北地体位于华北克拉通东部陆块胶-辽-吉带南端,主要由闪长质-TTG-花岗质片麻岩、变质表壳岩系和变质镁铁-超镁铁质岩所组成。本文通过对胶北早前寒武纪变质岩系的岩石学、矿物化学、变质反应结构和序列、变质温度和压力估算与同位素年代学资料的综合研究和总结,得出以下重要结论：（1）与华北克拉通东部陆块其它地区太古宙变质基底类似,本区也存在～2500Ma区域性新太古代变质事件,且与本区2550～2500Ma岩浆作用在时间上非常接近,其变质作用发生的时间比岩浆作用要晚10～50Myr,指示本区～2500Ma区域性变质事件可能与大规模的幔源岩浆底侵作用存在密切的成因关系。（2）胶北还存在1950～1850Ma区域性古元古代变质事件,并导致了大量高压基性和泥质麻粒岩的形成,高压基性麻粒岩主要以不规则透镜体、变形岩墙群或岩脉群的形式赋存于闪长质-TTG-花岗质片麻岩之中,并集中分布在安丘-平度-莱西-莱阳-栖霞一带,大致沿北东-南西向断续带状分布,构成了一条长约300km的古元古代高压麻粒岩相变质带。（3）本区古元古代高压麻粒岩以记录近等温减压（ITD）及随后近等压降温（IBC）的顺时针P-T-t轨迹为特征,指示本区变质杂岩在古元古代晚期曾强烈地卷入了与俯冲-拼贴-碰撞造山有关的构造过程,并可能经历了如下复杂的构造演化：（I）在古元古代晚期2000～1950Ma,随着有限大洋地壳的持续俯冲作用,本区各类变质岩的原岩开始经历一次构造增厚事件,并导致了它们的原岩经历了早期绿片岩相-角闪岩相进变质作用;（II）1950～1870Ma,大洋地壳俯冲作用结束,本区开始发生弧-陆拼贴和陆-陆碰撞作用,大陆地壳持续缩短和加厚,在加厚下地壳或岛弧根部带约50km的深度,发生了区域性高压麻粒岩相变质作用,并导致了本区变基性岩和变泥质岩分别形成了石榴石＋单斜辉石＋斜长石±角闪石±石英±铁-钛氧化物和石榴石＋蓝晶石＋钾长石＋斜长石＋黑云母＋石英＋铁-钛氧化物＋熔体的高压麻粒岩相矿物组合。（III）1870～1800Ma,在同碰撞峰期变质结束之后,本区造山作用进入了后碰撞构造折返-伸展演化阶段,先后经历了早期快速构造折返和晚期缓慢冷却降温两个构造热演化阶段。其中,在早期快速构造折返阶段,高压麻粒岩经历了峰后近等温或略微增温减压退变质作用的叠加,高压基性麻粒岩表现为沿石榴石边部形成了含斜方辉石的后成合晶。与此同时,早期快速构造折返阶段还伴随着热松弛和伸展作用,出现一系列的幔源基性岩浆活动,不仅导致了本区大量未经历高压麻粒岩相变质的变基性岩群的形成,同时也诱发了区内大规模的地壳深熔作用的发生。自温度高峰期之后,本区地壳岩石还经历了一个近等压冷却降温过程,并发生了区域性角闪岩相退变质作用,高压基性麻粒岩表现为石榴石和斜方辉石边部常出现含角闪石的退变边或后成合晶。最终,在1800Ma左右,本区含电气石花岗伟晶质岩脉的大量出现,则标志着胶北地体古元古代晚期（2000～1800Ma）俯冲-拼贴-碰撞造山作用的最终结束。

黑龙江省依兰地区出露了一套经高压变质形成的蓝片岩、云母片岩、长英质糜棱岩和少量超基性岩及大理岩并经历了强变形作用改造,一直被认为是佳木斯地块与其西侧松嫩地块碰撞拼贴所形成的缝合带产物。本次研究,通过岩相学与矿物化学分析,根据矿物组合的不同,识别出研究区内三种不同类型的蓝片岩;并获得了绿帘蓝闪石片岩（T=350～550℃,P=10～14kbar）、蓝闪霓辉石片岩（T=350～550℃,P=10～14kbar）和石榴石冻蓝闪石片岩（T=500～540℃,P=10～12kbar）的峰期变质温压条件。结合前人发表的地质年代学数据,建立了变质演化P-T-t轨迹。其中,绿帘蓝闪石片岩具＂发卡式＂变质演化P-T-t轨迹;而蓝闪霓辉石片岩与石榴石冻蓝闪石片岩具顺时针的演化轨迹。我们推测其成因可能为不同类型的蓝片岩形成于不同的俯冲阶段,由动力学机制的变化所造成。该研究成果为进一步探索佳木斯地块与松嫩地块碰撞拼贴的构造演化过程提供重要的依据。

Syn-deformation P-T paths of Xiaoqinling metamorphic core complex

The \%P_T\% paths of the Xiaoqinling metamorphic core complex (XMCC) have been investigated with the Gibbs method by researching the compositional changing of zoned epidotes which formed during syn_deformation metamorphism. These \%P_T\% paths indicate that the XMCC had experienced the following thermodynamics processes: firstly, near isobaric falling slightly in temperature in lower crust; secondly, fast decompression and rising in temperature during extensional uplifting to middle crust level; and finally, isobaric falling in temperature in middle crust. The upwelling and emplacement of the deep magma may be a major factor during the uplifting processes of the metamorphic core complex.
