Geochemistry of Permian Mafic Igneous Rocks from the Napo-Qinzhou Tectonic Belt in Southwest Guangxi, Southwest China: Implications for Arc-Back Arc Basin Magmatic Evolution

The Napo-Qinzhou Tectonic Belt （NQTB） lies at the junction of the Yangtze, Cathaysia and Indochina （North Vietnam） Blocks, which is composed of five major lithotectonic subunits： the Qinzhou-Fangcheng Suture Zone （QFSZ）, the Shiwandashan Basin （SB）, the Pingxiang-Nanning Suture Zone （PNSZ）, the Damingshan Block （DB） and the Babu-Lingma Suture Zone （BLSZ）. On the basis of geochemical compositions, the Permian mafic igneous rocks can be divided into three distinct groups： （1） mafic igneous rocks （Group 1） from the Longjing region in the PNSZ and Hurun region in the BLSZ, which are characterized by intermediate Ti, P and Zr with low Ni and Cr contents; （2） mafic igneous rocks （Group 2） from the Naxiao and Chongzuo region in the DB, characterized by low-intermediate Ti, P and Zr with high Ni and Cr concentrations; and （3） mafic igneous rocks （Group 3） from the Siming region in the Jingxi carbonate platform of the northwestern margin of the NQTB, with intermediate-high Ti, P and Zr and low Ni and Cr contents. The Group 1 rocks yield a weighted mean 206 Pb/ 238 U age of 250.5±2.8 Ma and are geochemically similar to basalts occurring in back-arc basin settings. The Group 2 rocks exhibit geochemical features to those basalts in island arcs, whereas the Group 3 rocks show geochemical similarity to that of ocean island basalts. All three groups are characterized by relatively low ε Nd （t） values （-2.61 to ＋1.10） and high initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotopic ratios （0.705309-0.707434）, indicating that they were derived from a subduction-modified lithospheric mantle and experienced assimilation, fractional crystallization, and crustal contamination or mixing during magmatic evolution. Accordingly, we propose the existence of an arc-back arc basin system that developed along the NQTB at the border of SW Guangxi Province （SW China） and northern Vietnam, and it was formed by continued northwestward subduction of the Cathaysian （or Yunkai） Block under the Yangtze Block, and northeastward subduction of the Indochina Block beneath the Yangtze Block during Permian time.

Intra-continental back-arc basin inversion and Late Carboniferous magmatism in Eastern Tianshan,NW China:Constraints from the Shaquanzi magmatic suite

The Yamansu belt,an important tectonic component of Eastern Tianshan Mountains,of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt,NW China hosts many Fe-(Cu)deposit.In this study,we present new zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemical data of the volcanic rocks of Shaquanzi Formation and diorite intrusions in the Yamansu belt.The Shaquanzi Formation comprises mainly basalt,andesite/andesitic tuff,rhyolite and sub-volcanic diabase with local diorite intrusions.The volcanic rocks and diorites contain ca.315-305 Ma and ca.298 Ma zircons respectively.These rocks show calc-alkaline affinity with enrichment in large-ion lithophile elements(LILEs),light rare-earth elements(LREEs),and depletion in high field strength elements(HFSEs)in primitive mantle normalized multi-element diagrams,which resemble typical back-arc basin rocks.They show depleted mantle signature with ε_(Nd)(t)ranging from+3.1 to +5.6 for basalt;+2.1 to+4.7 for andesite;-0.2 to+1.5 for rhyolite and the ε_(Hf)(t)ranges from-0.1 to +13.0 for andesites;+5.8 to +10.7 for andesitic tuffs.We suggest that the Shaquanzi Formation basalt might have originated from a depleted,metasomatized lithospheric mantle source mixed with minor(3-5%)subduction-derived materials,whereas the andesite and rhyolite could be fractional crystallization products of the basaltic magma.The Shaquanzi Formation volcanic rocks could have formed in an intracontinental back-arc basin setting,probably via the southward subduction of the Kangguer Ocean beneath the Middle Tianshan Massif.The Yamansu mineralization belt might have undergone a continental arc to back-arc basin transition during the Late Carboniferous and the intra-continental back-arc basin might have closed in the Early Permian,marked by the emplacement of dioritic magma in the Shaquanzi belt.

Carbonate Sequence Stratigraphy of a Back-Arc Basin: A Case Study of the Qom Formation in the Kashan Area, Central Iran

The Qom Formation comprises Oligo-Miocene deposits from a marine succession distributed in the Central Basin of Iran. It is composed of five members designated as A-F. Little previous work exists on the sequence stratigraphy. Based on an integrated study of sequence stratigraphy with outcrop data, wells and regional seismic profiles, the Qom Formation is interpreted as a carbonate succession deposited in a mid.Tertiary back-arc basin. There are two second-order sequences （designated as SS1 and SS2） and five third-order sequences （designated as S1-S5）. Five distinct systems tracts including transgressive, highstand, forced regressive, slope margin and Iowstand have been recognized. The relationship between the sequences and lithologic sub-units has been collated and defined （S1 to S5 individually corresponding to A-C1, C2--C4, D-E, the lower and upper portions of F）; a relative sea level change curve and the sequence stratigraphic framework have been established and described in detail. The coincidence of relative sea level change between that of the determined back-arc basin and the world indicates that the sedimentary cycles of the Qom Formation are mainly controlled by eustatic cycles. The variable combination of the systems tracts and special tectonic-depositional setting causally underpin multiple sequence stratigraphic framework styles seen in the carbonates of the back-arc basin revealing： （1） a continental margin basin that developed some form of barrier, characterized by the development of multiple cycles of carbonate-evaporites; （2） a flat carbonate ramp, which occurred on the southern shelf formed by the lack of clastic supply from nearby magmatic islands plus mixed siliciclastics and carbonates that occurred on the northern shelf due to a sufficient clastics supply from the land; and （3） a forced regressive stratigraphic stacking pattern that occured on the southern shelf and in basin lows due to the uplifting of the southern shelf. Thick and widespread aggradational framework limestone usually occurs in the initial sequences （S1 and S3） of the supersequence, which led to preferential oil reservoir deposition but a lack of source and cap rocks, whereas the retrogradational and progradational framework limestone usually occurs in the later sequences （S2 and S4-S5） of the supersequence, which results in two perfect sets of source, reservoir and cap rock assemblies, so that the limestone in sub-member C2-C4 and the F-Member can be predicted as important objects for oil exploration.

Bottom Simulating Reflector and Gas Seepage in Okinawa Trough:Evidence of Gas Hydrate in an Active Back-Arc Basin

To look for gas hydrate, 22 multi-channel and 3 single-channel seismic lines on the East China Sea （ECS） shelf slope and at the bottom of the Okinawa Trough were examined. It was found that there was indeed bottom simulating reflector （BSR） occurrence, but it is very rare. Besides several BSRs, a gas seepage was also found. As shown by the data, both the BSR and gas seepage are all related with local geological structures, such as mud diapir, anticline, and fault-controlled graben-like structure. However, similar structural ＂anomalies＂ are quite common in the tectonically very active Okinawa Trough region, but very few of them have developed BSR or gas seepage. The article points out that the main reason is probably the low concentration of organic carbon of the sediment in this area. It was speculated that the rare occurrence of gas hydrates in this region is governed by structure-controlled fluid flow. Numerous faults and fractures form a network of high-permeability channels in the sediment and highly fractured igneous basement to allow fluid circulation and ventilation. Fluid flow in this tectonic environment is driven primarily by thermal buoyancy and takes place on a wide range of spatial scales. The fluid flow may play two roles to facilitate hydrate formation： to help gather enough methane into a small area and to modulate the thermal regime.

Generation of Back-Arc Basins as Side Effect of Shortening Processes: Examples from the Central Mediterranean

The evolution of the Mediterranean area since the Oligocene-Lower Miocene has been driven by the convergence of the surrounding plates. This implies that the observed deformation pattern in that region must be the most convenient shortening pattern, i.e. the one controlled by the minimum action principle. To understand why the fulfilment of such condition has required a complex spatio-temporal distribution of major tectonic events, such as uplift, lateral displacement and bending of orogenic belts, consumption of large lithospheric domains and formation of back arc basins, it may be very useful to take into account a basic tectonic concept, which helps to identify the process that can minimize the resistance of tectonic forces. Such concept starts from the fact that the most convenient consumption process is the one that involves low buoyancy oceanic lithosphere (Tethyan domains). However, such process is highly favoured where the oceanic lithosphere is stressed by vertical forces, a situation that develops when orogenic wedges are forced to over thrust and load the oceanic domain to be consumed. This interpretation can provide plausible and coherent explanations for the complex pattern of the observed deformations. In this view, the generation of back arc basins is taken as a side effect of an extrusion process, as suggested by numerical and mechanical experiments.

Origin of Cu in the PACMANUS hydrothermal field from the eastern Manus back-arc basin: evidence from mass balance modeling

Hydrothermal precipitates associated with active vents in the eastern Manus Basin, an actively opening back-arc basin in the Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea, are among the most Cu-rich on the modern seafloor. The volcanic rocks associated with this mineralization may be insufficiently enriched in Cu to account for the Cu content of the sulfides by simple leaching. The PACMANUS hydrothermal field lies in the eastern portion of the eastern Manus Basin. Mass balance modeling of the PACMANUS hydrothermal system indicates that simple leaching of a stationary reaction zone (0.144 km^3) by hydrothermal fluids cannot yield the Cu found in associated sulfide deposits because unacceptably high leaching, transportation and precipitation efficiencies are required to derive the Cu in sulfides by leaching processes. With 100% leaching, transport and precipitating efficiency, 0.166 km^3 of volcanic rocks would need to be leached to account for the Cu budget of hydrothermal sulfide deposits. The key requirement for forming metal-rich magmatic fluids is a large amount of metals available to enter the exsolved vapor phase. Magmas generated in the eastern Manus Basin inherently have high fO2 because of metasomatism of the mantle source by oxidized materials from the subducted slab, leading to copper enrichment in the magma chamber. Moreover, the presence of Cu in gas-rich melt inclusi on bubbles in Pual Ridge andesite is evidence that degassing and partitioning of Cu into the magmatic volatile phase has occurred in the eastern Manus Basin. Numerical mass balance modeling indicates that approximately 0.236 Mt Cu was potentially transferred to the hydrothermal system per cubic kilometer magma. Magmatic degassing seems to play a more significant role than leaching.

Deep geodynamics of far field interconti- nental back-arc extension: Formation of Cenozoic volcanoes in northeastern China

There are three cases of variation of trench location possible to occur during subduction: trench fixed, trench ad- vancing, and trench retreating. Retreat of trench may lead to back-arc extension. The Pacific plate subducts at low angle beneath the Eurasia plate, tomographic results indicate that the subducted Pacific slab does not penetrate the 670 km discontinuity, instead, it is lying flat above the interface. The flattening occurred about 28 Ma ago. Geo- dynamic computation suggests: when the frontier of the subducted slab reaches the phase boundary of lower and upper mantle, it may be hindered and turn flat lying above the boundary, facilitates the retreat of trench and back-arc extension. Volcanism in northeastern China is likely a product of such retreat of subduction, far field back-arc extension, and melting due to reduce of pressure while mantle upwelling.

TRIASSIC SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY AND CORRELATION FROM POLY-ARC AND BACK-ARC SYSTEM IN EASTERN TIBET

It is dominantly characterized that arc and back\|arc basin occur mutually in arc\|basin systems, Jomda arc and Sinda back\|arc basin located in Qamdo area are typical(Fig.1). Jomda arc covered by Triassic with thickness about 10000m.Marine sediments predominate, and are Characterized by the largely thick turbidity rocks and arc volcanic rocks of calc\|alkali suite which frequent volcanic events raised. Sinda back\|arc basin with a land\|crust basement is filled by the Upper Triassic sedimentary strata of more than 5000m. The active marginal sediments are composed of terrigenous,basinal and volcanic turbidity deposits of bathyal to deep\|sea facies,Characteristic extensive alkali basalts and submarine spout hot water deposits. Based on investigation of the cutcrop pro\|file, isotime grillwork for Triassic sequence stratigraphy has been established. for example Jomda arc basin, including 6 type 1 and 4 type 2 boundaries.10 three\|order sequences are divided, including 6 type 1 and 4 type 2 sequences. These sequences evolves during 37Ma,the estimated average time of a sequences is 3～7Ma,with being generally 1～2Ma,the longest being about 10Ma. type 1 and type 2 sequence boundaries are identified, in Upper Triassic Sinda back\|arc basin two type 1 and one type 2 sequences are divided. Relations have been first concluded among mainly controlled factors of sequence stratigraphies in arc and back\|arc basin systems. First, more sequences product and three\|units of its structures are complete in arc systems of complicated tectonic\|volcanic topographies, for example Jomda arc area of island\|sea framework, because lots of deposits are supplied and accumulations are allowed. Secondly, tectonic control is very clear, type 1 boundaries of SQ1 and SQ7 are clearly unconformity interfaces stressed by tectonism.Thirdly,volcanic rocks is greatly related with sequences, and there are various volcanic rocks in mang sequences,for example Jomda sequence stratigraphies,volcanic rocks of calc alkaline suite occurs in LST which thickness occupying in LST is middle; both tholeiite and calc\|alkaline,alkaline suite (Sinda back\|arc area) in TST, thickness smallest; calc\|alkaline suite in HST, Thickness biggest. It proves that intra\|genetic association between volcanic and relative sea\|level changes, which is gained by the concordance of thick curves of volcanic rock and sea\|level in different systematic traces. When thickness of volcanic rocks growing or progressing, relative sea\|level falls; otherwise, when reducing, it rises. There are larger differences in quantities, structures and types of sequences by comparing sequence stratigraphies of arc, back\|arc with craton area. Those varieties are responses for interactions among tectonic\|volcano, sediment and eustacy. It is pointed out that tectonic and arc volcanic processes are crucial.

玉树北部二叠纪镁铁质岩的成因及其对大陆弧后盆地形成的指示

系统地调查与研究弧后盆地岩浆作用能为探究汇聚板块边缘的壳幔相互作用、板块俯冲动力学和弧后盆地形成-演化机制等提供重要信息。本文以最近在青海玉树北部地区发现的二叠纪镁铁质岩类为研究对象,开展了岩相学、锆石U-Pb年代学、岩石地球化学与同位素地质学等研究,以期为深入认识大陆弧后盆地形成机制及有关镁铁质岩浆的起源提供关键线索。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学测定结果表明,玉树北部辉长岩的结晶年龄为260±1 Ma。玄武岩样品具有相对低的TiO2和Nb/Y值以及相对高的Ce/Nb值,其相对于原始地幔要显著富集轻稀土和Th等元素,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti和P等元素,可与世界上典型弧后盆地玄武岩(例如Okinawa Trough BABBs)成分特征类比。而辉长岩样品具有相对高的TiO2和Nb/Y值以及相对低的Ce/Nb值,其相对于原始地幔要显著富集轻稀土和Th等元素,轻微亏损Nb、Ta和Ti,总体上具有与OIB类似的成分特征。玄武岩样品具有变化较大的ISr(0.706~0.709)和εNd(t)值(-1.8~+1.3),而辉长岩样品则具有相对均一的ISr(0.709)和εNd(t)值(-1.8~-1.5)。综合本次研究成果可以确定,玄武岩应该起源于一个受俯冲组分改造的岩石圈地幔,而辉长岩应该来自于一个与地幔柱相关的源区。结合区域最新研究资料可以进一步判断研究区镁铁质岩应该形成于大陆弧后盆地扩张的背景中,并且该弧后盆地的产生很可能与洋壳深俯冲导致的板块回撤、峨眉山地幔柱活动密切相关。

滇东地区裂谷盆地内火山-侵入岩序列与金属成矿

碱性岩浆对金属成矿和金属矿集区有独特控制作用,因火山—侵入岩序列与金属成矿和岩浆叠加侵入构造系统识别难度大,长期制约了深部勘探和找矿预测。本文以云南东川铁铜金矿集区(元古宙陆缘裂谷盆地)和个旧锡铜钨铯铷多金属矿集区(三叠纪弧后裂谷盆地)为主,采用大比例尺构造岩相学填图新方法,解析研究了碱性岩浆活动有关的火山—侵入岩侵入序列与岩石组合、裂谷盆地演化和岩浆叠加侵入构造系统,揭示了它们与滇东地区铁氧化物铜金型(IOCG)、铜钴-金红石-稀土和锡铜钨铯铷多金属矿叠加成矿内在关系。研究认为:①云南东川铁铜金矿集区内,新太古代末期碱性岩类以方解石钠长岩(2520±14 Ma)和碱性铁质苦橄岩(2529±77 Ma)为主。新太古界—古元古界小溜口岩组(>2.50Ga)顶部古岩溶风化壳,受中元古代火山喷发—岩浆侵入构造叠加再造形成了特殊单元(独立填图单元,2.50~1.80Ga),它们是铜钴-金红石-稀土矿床的新找矿层位。②在中元古界因民组一段内,铁钠质碱性基性岩、铁钾质粗面岩和铁质碱性辉绿辉长岩等岩石组合形成于因民期火山断陷成盆期。因民组二段和三段是稀矿山式铁铜矿床储矿层位,铁铜矿层下盘铁钾质粗面岩为独居石型稀土成矿层位。在格林威尔造山期碱性钛铁质辉长岩(1097~1047 Ma)-碱性钛铁质闪长岩-碱性二长斑岩等碱性钛铁质侵入岩体,形成了白锡腊深部IOCG矿床和金红石富集成矿。③在个旧三叠纪弧后裂谷盆地内,三叠纪碱性苦橄岩和碱玄岩中形成了Sn-Cu-Zn-Li-Rb-Cs初始富集;在晚白垩世浅色花岗岩叠加成矿作用下,形成了金云母矽卡岩型锡铜钨铯铷矿床。④裂谷盆地内早期碱性岩中初始富集金属与后期富含成矿金属的碱性侵入岩叠加成矿可能是金属超常富集机理。在东川地区岩浆叠加侵入构造内,岩浆热液角砾岩筒对铜钴-金红石-稀土元素叠加富集成矿控制显著;在个旧地区,浅色花岗岩侵入于碱性苦橄岩-碱玄岩中,对金云母矽卡岩型锡铜钨钴铯铷矿床的叠加富集成矿控制显著。

内蒙贺根山带广泛发育古生代基性岩浆岩,为探讨其岩浆源区和岩石成因,进一步了解中亚造山带东段古生代构造背景,笔者对朝克山蛇绿岩进行了矿物学研究。矿物电子探针结果显示,辉长岩中单斜辉石均属于透辉石,既有碱性特征,也有拉斑特征,SiO2含量为50.75%~52.99%,具有高的Al2O3,含量为2.03%~3.77%,相对亏损轻稀土元素(La/Sm)_(N)=0.12~0.22和高场强元素(HFSE;Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf、Ti负异常),富集大离子亲石元素(LILEs),与辉长岩全岩的特征程度相一致,共同指示岩体母岩浆可能为亚碱性的拉斑玄武质岩浆向碱性玄武质岩浆演化的趋势。单斜辉石的平衡温度为1099~1242℃,平衡压力为1.5~6.4 kbar,深度为5~21 km,显示明显的深源特征。结合前人研究成果,笔者认为朝克山蛇绿岩形成于弧后盆地环境。

华北克拉通中部造山带中条山地区古元古代盆地演化

对华北克拉通中部造山带南部中条山地区古元古代中条群和担山石群岩石组合及地层详细调查研究,认为中条群为一套由粗碎屑岩-泥质岩-碳酸盐岩组成的多旋回沉积岩,变质砂岩地球化学特征显示,中条群经历了早期相对稳定到后期较活跃的转变。结合前人碎屑锆石年龄、源区特征和火山岩夹层年龄得出,中条群形成于2.1 Ga左右的活动大陆边缘弧后盆地。担山石群为一套砾岩-砂岩组成的磨拉石建造,碎屑锆石年龄显示,担山石群形成于1.85 Ga左右的碰撞造山阶段的前陆盆地内。结合前人研究,认为中条山地区古元古代盆地演化模式为,约2.1 Ga开始,西部陆块的前导洋向东部陆块活动大陆边缘之下持续俯冲,东部陆块西缘活动大陆边缘弧后盆地沉积了中条群,约1.85 Ga开始,东部陆块与西部陆块之间的大洋闭合,陆陆碰撞开始,中条群发生挤压褶皱变形,陆壳加厚及随后的快速抬升和剥蚀形成前陆盆地的担山石群磨拉石。中条山地区古元古代弧后盆地向前陆盆地的转化支持华北克拉通最初西部陆块向东俯冲,经历了约1.85 Ga的东、西陆块碰撞并最终克拉通化的演化模式。

北秦岭二郎坪群抱树坪组沉积时代与构造环境

二郎坪群抱树坪组作为北秦岭早古生代重要的沉积记录,其研究程度较低。本文通过对抱树坪组内火山岩夹层和花岗斑岩脉进行岩石学、地球化学和锆石U-Pb测年研究,旨在进一步确定其沉积时代与构造环境。研究结果表明:豫西夏馆地区抱树坪组火山岩夹层已变质为(黑云)阳起钠长片岩,常与黑云石英片岩呈“互层状”产出;岩石原岩为安山质凝灰岩,具有相对低的SiO_(2)(52.56%~62.04%)、较高的Al_(2)O_(3)(10.70%~18.55%)、低的MgO(4.06%~6.21%)和FeO^(T)/MgO(1.23~1.81),富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素Rb、Th、U、K,相对亏损高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti,具镁安山质岩石的特点;结合地球化学特征及前人研究认为,抱树坪组可能形成于活动陆缘弧后盆地。获得黑云阳起钠长片岩原岩的结晶锆石U-Pb年龄为446.0±1.7 Ma,以及侵入其中花岗斑岩脉的成岩年龄为430.0±3.0 Ma,首次将抱树坪组的形成时代准确地限定为晚奥陶世至早志留世。综合区域研究成果认为,小寨组和抱树坪组在地层层序和地层时代上符合广义二郎坪群的划分方案,但大庙组、火神庙组及由小寨组和抱树坪组构成的整体三者在形成时代上表现为近于同时性,在空间上主体呈现近平行关系,可能主体属时代大体相当的不同沉积环境的产物;在大地构造属性方面,认为二郎坪群是在约470 Ma之前由于商丹洋向北俯冲而形成的火山岛弧,在470~436 Ma转化为弧后盆地,至约430 Ma之前最终完成消减闭合。

Evolution of Sedimentation and Tectonics of the Youjiang Composite Basin, South China

Located at the southern margin of the South China plate, the Youjiang basin is a closely related to the NW- and NE-trending syndepositional faults in respect to the configuration and structure of the basin. The evolution of the Youjiang basin progressed through two stages. In the Hercynian period, the opening of the Ailaoshan-Honghe ocean basin gave rise to a number of NW-trending rift belts in the Youjiang area. During this period, deep-water sediments were dominant and the basin was possesed of the characteristics of the rift system of passive continental margins. In the early Indosinian after the Dongwu movement, the circum - Pacific tectonism led to a major change in the configuration and structure of the basin. In the meantime, the Ailaoshan ocean basin began to be subducted towards the northeast, thus causing the basin to be split and expand again, and then the basin developed into the stage of the back -arc basin. At the end of the Indosinian period, the basin gradually closed from east to west, thus ending up the history of development of the Youjiang basin. In the various developmental stages, sediments in the basin, also limited by the Dongwu movement, were formed by superposition of sedimentation systems with different features, and a typical two-layered structure, which consisted of starved and compensated sediments, also occurred in the early stage. Likewise, volcanic activity in the basin involved two stages. Basin volcanic rocks of alkali and alkali-calcic series, which were controlled by NW-trending faults, occurred in the early stage, and basic and intermediate-acid volcanic rocks of calc-alkali and calcic series, which were controlled by NW- and NE-trending faults. From the above it follows that the Youjiang basin was formed by the combined action of the Palaeotethys and circum -Pacific tectonism.

小兴安岭西北部卧都河地区落马湖岩群年代学及构造背景

出露于小兴安岭西北部的“落马湖岩群”是多宝山矿集区重要的地质建造之一,由于缺少化石及顶底不全,其形成时代一直存在争议,制约了对区域构造演化及成矿背景的认识.为了探讨其形成时代及古构造背景,采用锆石U-Pb(LA-ICP-MS)方法对卧都河乡附近的“落马湖岩群”变粉砂质泥岩的碎屑锆石进行了年代学研究,85个测点中68个有效测点年龄介于216~2636 Ma,分为8个年龄组:216~347 Ma(n=8)、430~443 Ma(n=2)、463~502 Ma(加权平均485±5 Ma,n=21)、513~572 Ma(加权平均528±7Ma,n=16)、596~613 Ma(加权平均606±12 Ma,n=7)、718~739 Ma(加权平均730±12 Ma,n=3)、830~882 Ma(加权平均850±26 Ma,n=5)、1769~2636 Ma(n=6),以第Ⅲ—第Ⅶ年龄组构成明显的峰值.综合分析锆石晶态、CL图像、U含量特征及地质体宏观岩相学特点,认为第Ⅲ年龄组代表样品层位沉积下限.结合区域研究成果,认为“落马湖岩群”形成于奥陶纪至志留纪罗德洛世;其碎屑锆石主要来源于“额尔古纳-兴安联合地块”及奥陶纪弧火山岩区,形成于弧后盆地构造背景;其与多宝山弧岩浆岩带共同构成早古生代弧-盆系.

马里亚纳海槽岩浆作用研究进展

西太平洋俯冲带是世界上最典型、最活跃的俯冲带,分布众多的海沟-岛弧-弧后盆地(沟弧盆)系统。马里亚纳俯冲带是典型的洋-洋俯冲带,而马里亚纳海槽作为马里亚纳俯冲带的重要构造单元,是研究不受陆壳物质影响的俯冲作用的理想区域。前人对马里亚纳海槽岩浆地幔源区性状、俯冲组分的影响、岩浆演化等进行了详细研究。结果表明:(1)马里亚纳海槽岩浆源区主要为亏损地幔,岩性主要为橄榄岩,且不同区段具有不一致的地幔部分熔融程度;(2)不同区段受到来自蚀变洋壳及沉积物的俯冲组分的影响程度也不同,并由此影响了不同区段的地幔熔融程度和初始岩浆成分;(3)俯冲组分的影响自中段向南北两段逐渐加强,中段主要受到来自沉积物熔体的影响,南、北段受到板片释放的含水流体的影响则更为明显;(4)不同区段甚至同一区段的岩浆在演化过程中,经历了橄榄石、辉石、斜长石等斑晶矿物的差异性分离结晶过程,这也很好地解释了该区丰富的岩石类型和玄武质岩石的不同矿物组合特征。以上研究很好地促进了对马里亚纳海槽岩浆作用过程的认识,也深化了对俯冲带构造-岩浆作用的理解。

西昆仑晚古生代恰尔隆弧后盆地演化与锰成矿作用

晚古生代,康西瓦洋壳指向西昆仑地块俯冲,在恰尔隆盆地内沉积了下石炭统—上二叠统的一套以海进-海退为特征的旋回序列。新发现的主乌鲁克碳酸锰矿床位于恰尔隆盆地北部,含锰层位为下石炭统他龙群中段细碎屑岩夹碳酸盐岩,锰矿层为黑色泥质碳质页岩夹铁锰质微晶灰岩,显示明显韵律。锰矿石的Mn品位为8.00%~16.59%,Mn/Fe比值为0.36~1.46,铁锰分异不明显。矿石矿物主要为锰碳酸盐矿物,具有典型生物结构。碳酸锰矿石的正Eu异常(δEu=3.46±2.00)显示成矿物质主要为海底热水来源。碳酸锰矿石以及围岩的^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr偏向于大陆地壳组成(0.711925±0.000601),表明成矿物质主要来自西昆仑古老陆壳基底。锰矿石中不明显的Ce异常(δCe=0.96±0.14)和低的(Mo/U)_(auth)(自生矿物的Mo/U摩尔浓度比值,5.36±4.41)显示其主要沉积于局部快速氧化环境;而明显的Mo富集(平均Mo_(auth)=99.14±97.04)和纹层状自形黄铁矿表明围岩主要形成于还原环境。碳酸锰矿石的有机碳同位素组成(δ^(13)C_(org-PDB)=-24.65‰±2.12‰)、无机碳同位素的组成和变化趋势(δ^(13)C_(carb-PDB)=-12.67‰±3.86‰)以及总有机碳含量(TOC)与锰品位成负相关,表明锰可能最初以(氢)氧化物形式沉淀,而后在成岩埋藏过程中被有机质还原。总之,在早石炭世的恰尔隆盆地内,海侵过程带来丰富的自由氧和有机质,沉积了一套黑色泥质碳质页岩夹铁锰质微晶灰岩。同生断层活动带来富Mn^(2+)热水;Mn^(2+)在短暂的氧化条件下被氧化为Mn^(3+)/Mn^(4+)的(氢)氧化物。由于含氧量不足,铁和锰未完全分离。随着沉积作用进行,这些(氢)氧化物被表层沉积物覆盖而埋藏。随后在缺氧孔隙水中,Mn^(3+)/Mn^(4+)的(氢)氧化物被有机质还原为Mn^(2+)碳酸盐矿物。晚石炭世,海平面上升,Mn^(2+)的氧化作用逐渐减弱,使得上覆地层缺乏含锰层位。

扬子陆块西缘陆良地区牛头山组火山岩的厘定及对Rodinia超大陆演化规律的指示

滇中地区位于扬子陆块西缘,发育有新元古代火山岩,是开展Rodinia超大陆演化研究的重要窗口。其中牛头山组是滇中地区重要的新元古代地层,由于缺乏精确的年代学依据,严重影响了区域地层格架的划分,并制约了对Rodinia超大陆构造演化时限的认识。本文对牛头山组的流纹质玻屑凝灰岩开展了岩相学、锆石U-Pb年代学、锆石原位Hf同位素、锆石微量元素等方面的研究,结果显示凝灰岩均由火山物质组成,锆石具明显岩浆震荡环带和自形程度高等特征;凝灰岩的锆石UPb年龄为817.9±7.7Ma、818.3±8.3Ma和822±13Ma,锆石ε_(Hf)(t)值兼具正值和负值,岩浆源区伴有地幔物质的混入,及主要与古元古代(1523.9~2107Ma)陆壳物质的熔融有关;锆石研究显示凝灰岩形成于岩浆弧,属陆壳锆石类。岩石地球化学表明,凝灰岩属硅质火山岩类,具弧火山岩性质。综合研究认为,牛头山组是华夏陆块向扬子陆块俯冲末期的沉积-岩浆响应,形成于扬子陆块西缘的弧后盆地环境,该弧后盆地可能是华南新元古代康滇裂谷的初期阶段。牛头山组沉积作用的结束,指示了扬子陆块与华夏陆块已完成汇聚,Rodinia超大陆可能形成了统一板块,同时Rodinia超大陆开始向裂解转换,及转换时间约为820Ma。

扬子北缘大洪山造山带中新元古代基性岩和浊积岩的年代学和地球化学研究:对弧后盆地演化的指示

扬子北缘~820Ma可能记录了从挤压环境向伸展环境的重要转换,是解决扬子新元古代演化争议的关键时间节点。本研究在扬子北缘大洪山造山带圆潭地区识别出一套基性岩和浊积岩组合。其中基性岩全岩Sm-Nd等时线年龄为845Ma±81Ma(MSWD=1.5),浊积岩碎屑锆石年龄谱包括四个主要峰值年龄(~835Ma、~1597Ma、~2002Ma、~2482Ma)和两个次要峰值年龄(~2680Ma、~2934Ma),综合前人研究成果将浊积岩的形成时代约束在835~820Ma。浊积岩与花山群的形成时代一致,应代表花山群的北向延伸。浊积岩的物源来自扬子北缘桐柏-大别地区,不同于前人对花山群的分析结果,指示花山群可能具有多个物源。以上地层碎屑锆石年龄谱和地层层序特征与弧后盆地相似。本研究基性岩样品具有低的SiO_(2)(45.41%~50.29%)、K 2O(0.03%~1.49%),高的TiO_(2)(1.42%~3.03%),和低的U/Th(0.15~0.29)、Th/Zr(0.003~0.011)和Nb/Y(0.059~0.147)以及正的εNd(t)(+1.18~+1.57),类似N-MORB地球化学特征。基性岩来自于软流圈,经历<3%部分熔融而生成,并在上升过程中受到了一定程度的地壳混染。综合以上分析,本文认为这些基性岩和浊积岩共同构成一套弧后背景环境岩石组合。

川西江浪穹窿二叠纪变玄武岩锆石U-Pb年代学及地球化学

江浪穹窿二叠纪大理岩之中发育一套变玄武岩夹层,其主要成分为角闪石(约75%)和斜长石(约25%)。本文进行了锆石U-Pb年代学与地球化学研究,旨在修定原岩的形成年代与探究其成因。定年数据显示,变玄武岩中发育2453.7~258.9Ma的捕获锆石。这一结果表明,变玄武岩的原岩最有可能形成于晚二叠世,并且具有古老变质基底(2453.7~2125.0Ma锆石)、Rodinia超大陆会聚—裂解事件(1144.5~853.5Ma锆石)和加里东期岩浆活动(430.4~427.1Ma锆石)的地质记录。主微量元素分析数据显示,变玄武岩具有低的SiO_(2)含量(45.53%~40.94%)与高的Mg#值(78.4~70.6)、Cr(1670×10#值(78.4~70.6)、Cr(1670×10^(-6)~1310×10(-6)~1310×10^(-6))含量,其稀土((La/Yb)N=3.07~1.15)与微量元素配分型式平坦,表明原岩岩浆很可能起源于高度部分熔融的亏损地幔源区。岩石的La/Sm(2.34~1.16)、(Th/Yb)_(PM)(1.95~1.23)、(Th/Ta)_(PM)(0.74~0.43)和(La/Nb)_(PM)(1.44~0.27)比值很低,表明岩浆演化过程中地壳物质的混染程度微弱。微量元素比值及构造环境判别图解表明,变玄武岩的化学构成同MORB相当,暗示原岩大概在古特提斯洋成熟的弧后盆地背景下形成。另外成分对比显示,江浪穹窿的二叠纪变玄武岩与峨眉山大火成岩省玄武岩浆活动无关。
