New Discovery and Zircon Hf Isotopic Composition of the Early Yanshannian Monzogranite in the Yingyangguan Group of Eastern Guangxi, China

Objective The Yingyangguan Group is widely exposed in the southwestern segment of boundary belt between Yangtze and Cathaysian blocks and is mainly composed of a suit of lower-grade metamorphic marine volcanoclastic- sedimentary rocks （Zhou Hanwen et al., 2002）. Its forming age and petrogenesis are critical for better understanding the orogenic process and relationship of the Yangtze and Cathaysian blocks since the Neoproterozoic. However, few zircon U-Pb ages of samples from the Yingyangguan Group have been reported, which are much debated, such as the metamorphic spilite （819±11 Ma）, keratophyre （415.1±2.1 Ma） and ignimbrite （821.3±3.9 Ma） （Tian Yang et al., 2015 and references in）. In this study, we focus on the new discovered Early Yanshannian monzogranite and its mafic enclaves from the Yingyangguan Group, and conducted zircon U-Pb dating and in-situ Hf isotopic analyses to constrain their petrogenesis.

桂东鹰扬关群火山岩时代和构造环境的重新厘定:对钦杭结合带西南段构造格局的制约

鹰扬关群在湘—粤—桂三省交界地区广泛发育,为一套以绿片岩相变质的细碧岩、(石英)角斑岩及相关的火山碎屑岩为主,含有细碎屑岩和碳酸盐岩组合。该群的成岩背景过去一直认为是Rodinia超大陆裂解背景下的大陆裂谷环境,时代归属为新元古代。岩石学、地球化学和锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果表明,鹰扬关群火山岩主要属于基性-中性火山(碎屑)岩类,在岩石化学成分上表现为明显富集大离子亲石元素(LILE,包括U、Th、Ba、K和Rb等)和轻稀土元素,而Nb、Ta、P和Ti等高场强元素和重稀土元素相对亏损,反映其具有俯冲-消减作用形成的岛弧-弧后盆地型火山岩地球化学特征;获得鹰扬关群中变角斑岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb谐和年龄为(415.1±2.1)Ma(n=13,MSWD=1.8),表明其为加里东期海相火山喷发的产物。结合云开地块北缘存在有早古生代MORB型和岛弧型变质基性火山岩的资料表明,扬子板块和华夏板块结合带(称之为钦—杭结合带)西南段有早古生代的古洋盆,鹰扬关群岛弧-弧后盆地型火山岩可能是钦—杭结合带南西段早古生代洋陆俯冲-消减过程的地质记录,钦—杭结合带西南段加里东期的构造格局是俯冲增生造山带而不是陆内造山带。

广西鹰扬关群基性火山岩的锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

TIMS锆石U-Pb定年结果表明,广西贺州下龙地区鹰扬关群浅变质基性火山岩形成于819±11Ma,表明鹰扬关群火山岩是华南新元古代裂谷盆地中最早的火山活动,并确定了华南震旦系的底界年龄为819±11Ma。桂北地区震旦纪裂谷盆地底部火山岩与其不整合覆盖的花岗岩的年龄非常接近,表明区域在约820 Ma经历了非常快速的大规模地壳抬升、去顶和裂谷盆地沉降,支持华南约825 Ma地幔柱模式。
