Magma Mixing Genesis of the Mafic Enclaves and Related Granitoids in the Kan Granite-Gneiss Complex of Central Côte d’Ivoire: Evidence from Geology, Petrology and Geochemistry

The mafic enclaves from Paleoproterozoic domain are considered to be the results of large-scale crust-mantle interaction and magma mixing. In this paper, petrography, mineralogy and geochemistry were jointly used to determine the origin of the mafic enclaves and their relationship with the host granitoids of the Kan granite-gneiss complex. This study also provides new information on crust-mantle interactions. The mafic enclaves of the Kan vary in shape and size and have intermediate chemical compositions. The diagrams used show a number of similarities in the major elements (and often in the trace elements) between the mafic enclaves and the host granitoids. Geochemical show that the Kan rock are metaluminous, enriched in silica, medium to high-K calc-alkaline I-type granite. The similarities reflect a mixing of basic and acid magma. Mafic enclaves have a typical magmatic structure, which is characterized by magma mixing. The genesis of these rocks is associated with the context of subduction. They result from the mixing of a mafic magma originating from the mantle and linked to subduction, and a granitic magma (type I granite) that arises from the partial melting of the crust.

Factor value determination and applicability evaluation of universal soil loss equation in granite gneiss region

Six types of runoff plots were set up and an experimental study was carried out to examine natural rate of soil and water loss in the granite gneiss region of northern Jiangsu Province in China. Through correlation analysis of runoff and soil loss during 364 rainfall events, a simplified and convenient mathematical formula suitable for calculating the rainfall erosivity factor （R） for the local region was established. Other factors of the universal soil loss equation （USLE model） were also determined. Relative error analysis of the soil loss of various plots calculated by the USLE model on the basis of the observed values showed that the relative error ranged from -3.5% to 9.9% and the confidence level was more than 90%. In addition, the relative error was 5.64% for the terraced field and 12.36% for the sloping field in the practical application. Thus, the confidence level was above 87.64%. These results provide a scientific basis for forecasting and monitoring soil and water loss, for comprehensive management of small watersheds, and for soil and water conservation planning in the region.

U-Pb Geochronology of the Jebba Granitic Gneiss and Its Implications for the Paleoproterozoic Evolution of Jebba Area, Southwestern Nigeria

Jebba area southwestern Nigeria forms part of the Nigerian basement complex which lies in the Neoproterozoic PanAfrican mobile belt. It is underlain by several lithological units among which is a polydeformed granitic gneiss. This rock has been dated by LA-ICP-MS yielding a concordant U-Pb zircon age of 2207 ± 20 Ma indicating the crystallization age of the granite protolith. This early Rhyacian age and its affinity with within-plate granites indicates emplacement during crustal extension and rifting presceding the main phase of the Eburnean orogeny. The strong, early, shear fabric, S1, in the rock is interpreted to be also of Paleoproterozoic age i.e. imprinted during the Eburnean orogeny. The Jebba granitic gneiss is thus correlatable with the widely abundant Paleoproterozoic granitic magmatism now represented by many orthogneisses and documented in other parts of southwestern Nigeria, the West African craton, the Borborema Province, the Gurupi Belt, Sao Luis craton and Sao Francisco craton in Brazil.

Geochemical Characteristics and Genesis of the Granitic Gneisses from the Southeastern Dabie Mountains

The granitic gneisses from the ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic terrain of the southeastern Dabie Mountains encompass two types: monzonitic granitic gneiss and alkali-feldspar granitic gneiss, which are characterized by rich alkalis, poor CaO, high FeO/MgO, particularly high Ba, Rb, Th, Ta, REE (except Eu), Ga, Nb and Zn, and low Sr, Eu, Cr, Co and Ni. The gneisses, particularly the alkali-feldspar granitic gneiss, have typical chemical characteristics of A-type granites. They resulted from partial melting of crustal materials existing in the rift zone along the northern margin of the South China block during the Neoproterozoic. These gneisses might not have undergone UHP metamorphism during the late Triassic, but were involved into UHP rocks by the tectonic mixing process and kept the exhumation message of the UHP rocks from the middle and upper crust.

SHRIMP Dating and Recrystallization of Metamorphic Zircons from a Granitic Gneiss in the Sulu UHP Terrane

An unusual zircon SHRIMP dating result of a granitic gneiss from the Qinglongshan eclogite-gneiss roadcut section is presented in this paper. The very peculiar and complicated internal structures, as well as the very low Th/U ratios (0.01-0.08) of the zircons indicate that they were formed by metamorphic recrystallization. Strongly in contrast with previously published zircon U-Pb ages of the Dabie-Sulu UHP metamorphic rocks where protolith ages of 600-800 Ma are commonly recorded, only metamorphic age of 218±5 Ma, defined by 18 analytical spots either in rim or in core of zircons, are recorded in this granitic gneiss. This age represents the time of the complete metamorphic recrystallization overprint on primary magmatic zircons. The recrystallization was derived by the UHP metamorphism, and was strengthened by the early stage of retrograde metamorphic fluid activity.

Mineralogy and geochemistry of Nb-,Ta-,Sn-,U-,Th-,and Zr-bearing granitic rocks from Abu Rusheid shear zones,South Eastern Desert,Egypt

Granite-hosted,Nb-,Ta-,Sn-,U-,Th-,and Zr(Hf)-bearing mineralization from the Abu Rusheid shear zones occurs about 97 km southwest of the town of Marsa Alam,South Eastern Desert,Egypt.The SSE-trending brittle-ductile Abu Rusheid shear zones crosscut the peralkalic granitic gneisses and cataclastic to mylonitic rocks(mylonite,protomlyonite,and ultramylonite).The northern shear zone varies in width from 1 to 3 m with a strike length of >500 m,and the southern shear zone is 0.5 to 8 m wide and >1 km long.These shear zones locally host less altered lamprophyre and locally sheared granitic aplite-pegmatite dykes.The rare-metal minerals,identified from the peralkalic granitic gneisses and cataclastic to mylonitic rocks are associated with muscovite,chlorite,quartz,fluorite,pyrite,magnetite,and rare biotite that are restricted to the Abu Rusheid shear zones;these are columbite-tantalite and pyrochlore(var.betafite) in the northern shear zone and ferrocolumbite in the southern shear zone.Cassiterite occurs as inclusions in the columbite-tantalite minerals.U-and Th-minerals(uraninite,thorite,uranothorite,ishikawaite,and cheralite) and Hf-rich zircon coexist.Magmatic(?) zircon contains numerous inclusions of rutile,fluorite,U-Th and REE minerals,such as uranothorite,cheralite,monazite,and xenotime.Compositional variations in Ta/(Ta+Nb) and Mn/(Mn+Fe) in columbite range from 0.07-0.42 and 0.04-0.33,respectively,and Hf contents in zircon from 1.92-6.46 of the two mineralized shear zones reflect the extreme degree of magmatic fractionation.Four samples of peralkalic granitic gneisses and cataclastic to mylonitic rocks from the southern shear zone have very low TiO2(0.02 wt%-0.04 wt%),Sr [(15-20)×10-6],and Ba [(47-78)×10-6],with high Fe2O3T(0.94 wt%-1.99 wt%),CaO(0.14 wt%-1.16 wt%),alkalis(9.2 wt%-10.1 wt%),Rb [(369-805)×10-6],Zr [(1033-2261)×10-6],Nb [(371-913)×10-6],U [(51-108)×10-6],Th [(36-110)×10-6],Ta [(38-108)×10-6],Pb [(39-364)×10-6],Zn [(21-424)×10-6],Y [(8-304)×10-6],Hf [(29-157)×10-6],and ∑REE [(64-304)×10-6],especially HREE [(46-167)×10-6].Three samples from the northern shear zone also have very low TiO2(0.03 wt%),Sr [(11-16)×10-6],and Ba [(38-47)×10-6],with high Fe2O3T(1.97 wt%-2.91 wt%),CaO(0.49 wt%-1.01 wt%),alkalis(7.2 wt%-8.3 wt%),Rb [(932-978)×10-6],Zr [(1707-1953)×10-6],Nb [(853-981)×10-6],Ta [(100-112)×10-6],U [(120-752)×10-6],Th [(121-164)×10-6],Pb [(260-2198)×10-6],Zn [(483-1140)×10-6],Y [(8-304)×10-6],Hf [(67-106)×10-6],and ∑REE [(110-231)×10-6],especially HREE [(91-177)×10-6].The very high Rb/Sr(57.5-88.9),and low Zr/Hf(16.9-25.6),Nb/Ta(7.7-9.8),and Th/U(0.21-1.01) are consistent with very frac-tionated fluorine-bearing granitic rocks that were altered and sheared.The field evidence,textural relations,and compositions of the ore minerals suggest that the main mineralizing event was magmatic(629+/-5 Ma,CHIME monazite),with later hydrothermal alteration and local remobilization of the high-field-strength elements.

Zircon Dating and Geological Implications of Granitic Gneiss in the Metamorphic Zone of Gaoligong Mountains in Western Yunnan, China

The general classification of intermediate-acid intrusive rocks in the metamorphic zone of Gaoligong Mountains as one of the metamorphic terranes of Proterozoic Gaoligong Mountains is problematic regarding the intrusion stage and age, as well as the subsequent metamorphism and deformation. In this study, we investigated granitic gneiss in the metamorphic zone of Gaoligong Mountains based on the 1：50,000 regional geological survey of Qushi Street （2011-2013） and SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology. Results showed that the SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating of granitic gneiss ranged from 163.5±5.7 Ma to 74.0±2.0 Ma. Thus, the granitic gneiss was grouped into orthometamorphic rocks （metamorphic intrusions）. The dating data of granite rocks associated with intense metamorphism and deformation were divided into three groups, 163.5±5.7 to 162.3±3.1 Ma, 132.2-101.0 Ma and 99.4±3.5-74.0±2.0 Ma, which respectively represented three independent geologic events including an important magma intrusion with superimposed metamorphic effects in the late Middle Jurassic, regional dynamic metamorphism and superimposed reformation of fluid action in the early Cretaceous, and dynamic metamorphism dominated by ductile shear and metamorphism starting from the late Cretaceous.

The Early Breakup of Rodinia Supercontinent in the Northeastern Margin of the Yangtze Plate： New Evidence from SIMS Zircon Ages of the Granitic Gneiss from the Chaolian Island, Shandong Peninsula

The amalgamation and breakup mechanisms of the Rodinia supercontinent during the Meso- and Neoproterozoic have been the focus of much research. However, few studies have examined the response of Neoproterozoic tectonics and magmatism along the northeastern margin of the Yangtze Plate to synchronous global events. The Qianliyan Uplift is located on the eastern margin of the Sulu orogenic belt in the ocean, but the tectonic affinity of the uplift and its relationship to the Sulu orogenic belt remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the formation age, geochemical characteristics, genesis type, and affinity of the granitic gneiss on Chaolian Island of the Qianliyan uplift and its tectonic significance.

STUDY ON THE ISOTOPIC CHRONOLOGY AND THE TECTONIC SIGNIFICANCE OF DUGUER GRANITIC GNEISS IN CENTRAL QIANGTANG, TIBET

Geology setting and petrological features Qiangtang composite plate is located between Xijinwulan—Jinshajiang and Bangonghu—Nujiang suture zones, with the total area of several ten thousand square kilometers. The exposed rocks are mainly Paleozoic, Mesozoic marine sedimentary rocks.. Around Zhabu—Shuanghu area, there exits a post late Triassic uplift, in which middle Devonian low\|intermediate degree metamorphic rocks with solid chronological evidence have been found. However, in central Qiangtang, debate is still there in several aspects, such as there is crystalline basement or not, basement features, and the pre\|Devonian evolution of Qiangtang plate, etc. (Cai Li et al.,1997)Duguer gneiss is the only proved gneiss in Qiangtang region upto now, which is exposed at Duguer mountain (peak, 6208m above sea level), Gaize county, and is confined by faults. An E—W oriented thrust fault zone is its south boundary, which is more than 200m wide and makes the gneiss overthrust on upper Carboniferous strata and Tertiary red beds southwardly. On the east and north sides of the gneiss are upper Carboniferous strata. The gneiss occurs as a triangle form with a long E—W trending bottom line (about 20km) and a height about 10km in S—N direction, which is the main part of Duguer Duguer mountain.Duguer gneiss consists of two rocks types, i.e. granitic gneiss (the dominant component) and amphibole\|plagioclase gneiss. The latter one occurs as a group of nearly E—W trending dikes with clear boundary, which are obviously late basic dikes that intruded into granite. Granitic gneiss is composed of porphyroclast granitic gneiss, banded granitic gneiss, gneissoid granite and granitic mylonite. Both granitic and amphibole\|plagioclase gneisses have been undergone same type and same degree metamorphism and deformation. The typical mineral assemblage of the former gneiss include quartz(30%), microcline(25%),plagioclase(30%), two mica (biotite +muscovite,13%) and the accessory minerals such as zircon, magnetite, and apatite etc. The main oxide contents of the granitic gneiss are (average of three samples) 73 53% SiO\-2, 12 9% Al\-2O\-3, 1 57% FeO, 0 52% MgO, 3 24%Na\-2O and 0 22% K\-2O. The REE distribution pattern shows typical features of granite, i.e. LREE enrichment, HREE depletion and rather strong negative Eu anomaly.

Copper partitioning between granitic silicate melt and coexisting aqueous fluid at 850°C and 100 MPa

Experiments on the partitioning of Cu between different granitic silicate melts and the respective coexisting aqueous fluids have been performed under conditions of 850 ℃, 100 MPa and oxygen fugacity （fO2） buffered at approaching Ni-NiO （NNO）. Partition coefficients of Cu （Dcu = Cfluid/Cmelt） were varied with different alumina/alkali mole ratios [Al2O3/（Na2O ＋ K2O）, abbreviated as Al/ Alk], Na/K mole ratios, and SiO2 mole contents. The DCu increased from 1.28 ± 0.01 to 22.18 ±0.22 with the increase of Al/Alk mole ratios （ranging from 0.64 to 1.20） and Na/K mole ratios （ranging from 0.58 to 2.56）. The experimental results also showed that Dcu was positively correlated with the HCl concentration of the starting fluid. The Dcu was independent of the SiO2 mole content in the range of SiO2 content considered. No Dcu value was less than 1 in our experiments at 850 ℃ and 100 MPa, indicating that Cu preferred to enter the fluid phase rather than the coexisting melt phase under most conditions in the melt-fluid system, and thus a significant amount of Cu could be transported in the fluid phase in the magmatichydrothermal environment. The results indicated that Cu favored partitioning into the aqueous fluid rather than the melt phase if there was a high Na/K ratio, Na-rich, peraluminous granitic melt coexisting with the high Cl^- fluid.

Early Proterozoic U-Pb Zircon Ages from Basement Gneiss at the Solovetsky Archipelago,White Sea,Russia

The central region of the Neoarchaean Belomorian Mobile Belt (BMB) is, except for the Solovetsky Archipelago, largely covered by the White Sea. A newly discovered granitic gneiss outcrop on Solovetsky Island, Russia, enables a first age determination of the archipelago and evaluation of the hitherto poorly constrained central BMB. Zircons separated from the orthogneiss were analysed with SIMS-SHRIMP and LA-ICP-MS techniques. Both techniques yield a concordant U-Pb age of ca. 2.430 Ga, coinciding with ages of granitic intrusions in the BMB ca. 50 km west of the Solovetsky Islands.

Petrogenesis and tectonic implications of Late-Triassic high εNd(t)-εHf(t) granites in the Ailaoshan tectonic zone(SW China)

High εNd（t）-εHf（t） granites are robust evidence for crustal growth. In this paper we report results of petrologic, geochronological and geochemical investigations on the Huashiban granites from the Ailaoshan tectonic zone in western Yunnan （SW China）. Zircon grains separated from the two samples （10HH-119A and 10HH-120A） yield the weighted mean 206pb/238u ages of 229.9 ± 2.0 Ma and 229.3 ± 2.3 Ma, respectively, interpreted as the crystallization ages of the granites. Based on our results, in combination with the existing U-Pb geochronological data for the Ailaoshan metamorphic rocks, we propose that the Ai- laoshan Group might be a rock complex composed of the Mesoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, Hercynian, Indosinian and Hima- layan components, rather than a part of the crystalline basement of the Yangtze block. The zircon grains show highly depleted Lu-Hf isotope compositions, with positive eHf（t） values ranging from 8.4 to 13.1. The Huashiban granites have high SiO2 （72.66 wt%-73.70 wt%）, low Mg# （0.28-0.34） with A/CNK=1.01-1.05, and can be classified as peralumious high-K calc-alkaline I-type granites. A synthesis of these data indicates that the Ailaoshan tectonic zone had evolved into a post-collisional setting by the Late-Triassic （229 Ma）. Genesis of the Huashiban high εNd（t）-εHf（t） granites involved into two processes： （1） underplating of the sub-arc mantle into the lower crust, and （2） remelting of the juvenile crustal materials in re- sponse to the upwelling of the asthenospheric mantle in the post-collisional setting.

Genetic mechanism of the granite buried-hill reservoir of the Penglai 9-1 oilfield in Bohai Sea

The Penglai 9-1 oilfield is the largest granite buried-hill oilfield in China presently,genesis and evolution of the granite buried-hill reservoir is complex.Based on geochemical,geophysical,experimental simulation and other methods,and combined with field geological observation,genetic mechanism of the granite buried-hill reservoir of the Penglai 9-1 oilfield and its hydrocarbon accumulation mode were well investigated.Results showed that the granite was formed by magmatic intrusion along deep faults under intraplate breakup of North China Plate,it was the product of magmatic activities of Yanshan tectonic episode of Circum-Pacific Tectonic Region,and the intrusion time was 160e170 Ma of the Jurassic.Formation of the granite buried-hill reservoir was mainly controlled by the epigenic karstification and tectonic reconstruction,the Yanshanian weathering and denudation controlled macroscopic development characteristics of the granite buried-hill reservoir,and faults and joints formed by Cenozoic tectonic movement promoted modification of the granite buried-hill reservoir.Laterally,thickness of the granite buried-hill reservoir had a positive correlation with fracture density.Vertically,the granite rocks could be divided into five zones:soil zone,sandy zone,broken zone,fracture zone and base rock zone.The upper-middle part(sandy zone,broken zone,fracture zone)of the granite buried hill was the highquality favorable reservoir zone and the main oil-bearing interval.

中亚-蒙古造山带东段的锡林郭勒杂岩:早华力西期造山作用的产物而非古老陆块?——锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年代学证据

锡林郭勒杂岩是华北板块北缘古生代褶皱带内出露面积最大的变质岩系,以前多被当着前寒武纪的古老地块。本文通过对该杂岩中副片麻岩和正片麻岩的锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年代学研究发现,副片麻岩中的锆石多为岩浆锆石,其^(206)Pb/^(238)U加权平均年龄为406±7Ma,指示它们的原岩主要是由近同期(略早些)的岩浆岩风化后就近沉积的产物,该年龄应代表源区(岛弧型?)花岗岩的形成时间,同时也是副片麻岩原岩沉积的下限年龄。正片麻岩中岩浆锆石的^(206)Pb/^(238)U加权平均年龄为382±2Ma,代表花岗片麻岩原岩的侵位年龄。岩石中锆石的变质增生边的形成年龄为337±6Ma,代表锡林郭勒杂岩发生变质和变形的时间,该变质事件可能与贺根山缝合带内所发生的一次主要的碰撞造山作用有关。这些年龄资料充分说明,锡林郭勒杂岩并非古老地块,而是华力西早期岩浆作用、沉积作用和变质作用事件的产物.整个事件是在较短的时间范围内(～70Ma)完成的,推测该杂岩发育在碰撞造山带的弧前环境。中亚-蒙古造山带东南部(内蒙古的中、东部)碰撞前的构造格局可能不是典型的多岛洋体制,由于缺少古老的陆块,造山过程更多的表现为大洋的大陆化过程,即洋内俯冲形成岛弧,岛弧在被动大陆边缘拼贴聚合转化为新的大陆。

大别山超高压榴辉岩和花岗片麻岩中锆石Lu-Hf同位素研究

对大别山超高压榴辉岩和花岗片麻岩进行了锆石Lu-Hf同位素分析,结果为原岩来源提供了制约,表明扬子陆块在Rodinia超大陆裂解时的裂谷岩浆活动中发生了显著的陆壳生长。对这些锆石的不同区域进行的U-Pb和Lu-Hf同位素分析和比较表明,不同成因的锆石在^(206)Pb/^(238)U年龄、初始Hf同位素组成、Th/U及Lu/Hf比值等方面具有明显的差异。与年龄较老的岩浆核部和幔部相比,年轻的变质增生边具有低的Th/U和Lu/Hf比值但高的ε_(Hf)(t)值。不同成因锆石的Th/U和Lu/Hf比值存在着正相关性,表明变质作用对锆石的U-Th-Pb和Lu-Hf同位素体系有着相似的影响。高级变质作用有时能够引起岩浆锆石增生边^(176)Hf/^(177)Hf比值的显著升高,导致变质新生颗粒或增生边类似于新生地壳的高ε_(Hf)(t)值假象。对榴辉岩和片麻岩锆石核部的分析发现,镁铁质和长英质原岩在大约750Ma左右形成一个双峰式火山岩套,另外包含少量的年龄约为2.15Ga的陆壳。初始Hf同位素组成可分成两组:第一组具有正的ε_(Hf)(t)值,为5.9±0.9～12.9±0.7;第二组ε_(Hf)(t)值在零左右,为-4.3±0.5-2.3±0.3。正的ε_(Hf)(t)值与较年轻的模式年龄相对应,负的ε_(Hf)(t)值与古元古代模式年龄相对应。前者表明,在扬子陆块北缘裂谷岩浆作用将亏损地幔物质加入到大陆地壳中,同时在新元古代中期的裂谷构造带中存在同时期的壳-幔相互作用。因此,在扬子陆块北缘新元古代中期裂谷岩浆活动中,既有新生地壳生长和即时再造,也有古老地壳再造。

小秦岭变质岩及脉体锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

本文对小秦岭地区花岗伟晶岩、花岗片麻岩及含金石英脉中的锆石进行了SHRIMP U-Pb年龄测定。花岗伟晶岩中的锆石为岩浆锆石,其^(207)Pb/^(206)Pb平均年龄为1955±30Ma,MSWD=1.4;花岗片麻岩中的锆石复杂,其变质成因"幔"的^(207)pb/^(206)Pb平均年龄为2462±20Ma,MSWD=2.0,铅丢失不谐和直线的上交点年龄为2400～2600Ma;含金石英脉中的锆石为残余锆石,其^(207)Pb/^(206)Pb平均年龄为1995±86Ma,MSWD=0.092。这些年龄数据为小秦岭地区的构造演化提供了更精确的年龄依据,2400～2600Ma和1900～2000Ma分别代表了小秦岭地区第一期和第二期变质作用的年龄。含金石英脉形成于2000Ma之后,石英脉中没有热液锆石。

胶北早前寒武纪变质基底多期岩浆-变质热事件:来自TTG片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩中锆石U-Pb定年的证据

本文采用LA-ICP-MS技术,对胶北地体TTG片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩中锆石进行系统原位U-Pb定年和稀土、微量元素的分析,发现研究区早前寒武变质结晶基底存在多期岩浆-变质热事件。4件TTG片麻岩和2件花岗质片麻岩锆石样品记录了2909±13Ma、2738±23Ma、2544±15～2564±12Ma和2095±12Ma4组岩浆事件年龄,以及2504±16～2513±32Ma和1863±41Ma2组变质事件年龄。结合以往TTG片麻岩和花岗质片麻岩的地球化学及Nd同位素研究发现,约2738Ma的TTG岩浆事件可能代表胶北地体地壳最主要的生长事件,而2544～2564Ma的岩浆事件则可能代表古老地壳重熔的最强烈岩浆事件,约2095Ma岩浆事件则反映了胶-辽-吉构造带内部在该时期与地壳拉张作用有关的岩浆活动。2504～2513Ma是研究区以及华北克拉通早前寒武基底最主要的一期变质热事件,可能与地幔柱(热点)岩浆的底侵作用有关,而TTG片麻岩记录的约1863Ma的变质年龄与研究区基性和泥质高压麻粒岩相岩石记录的麻粒岩相变质时代一致,暗示TTG片麻岩可能也经历了古元古代高压麻粒岩相变质作用,上述研究进一步表明胶北地体在古元古代的确存在一期陆-陆碰撞的重要造山事件。该项研究成果对于进一步深入探讨胶北乃至华北克拉通早前寒武纪变质基底的形成演化、岩浆-变质热事件序列及其构造背景具有重要的科学意义。

柴北缘鱼卡河花岗质片麻岩的地球化学特征和锆石LA-ICPMS定年

岩石地球化学研究表明,柴北缘鱼卡河超高压榴辉岩围岩花岗质片麻岩的SiO2、Al2O3、K2O和Na2O含量较高,而TiO2、FeOt、MgO、MnO和CaO含量较低,里特曼指数为1.93～2.36,铝饱和指数ACNK值为1.07～1.17,显示出明显的壳源S型花岗岩的特点。在微量元素方面,岩石富集大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素,具有轻稀土元素富集和中等的Eu负异常,也显示了壳源S型花岗岩的特征。阴极发光(CL)图像显示该花岗质片麻岩的锆石具有核-幔(边)结构,核部为原岩残留、幔部显示弱的变质重结晶。LA-ICPMS锆石原位微量元素研究显示,本区锆石经历了弱的变质重结晶作用,且可能遭受到后期热液蚀变作用的改造;参考锆石的微量元素组成特征,挑选受变质重结晶和热液改造较弱的锆石的同位素进行测试,结果获得鱼卡河花岗质片麻岩的原岩形成时代为(952±19)Ma左右的新元古代,是地壳重熔作用的产物;同时获得该片麻岩的可能变质年龄为424～480Ma,表明该片麻岩的原岩可能与榴辉岩的原岩共同经历了早古生代加里东期的变质作用,但由于片麻岩的变质程度较低,应是在榴辉岩的折返过程中构造叠置在一起的。利用LA-ICPMS对具有多阶段演化历史的变质锆石定年时,必须同时进行锆石CL图像和原位微量元素分析,才可能对所获年龄给出合理的解释。

大别山东部花岗片麻岩的锆石U-Pb年龄

花岗片麻岩是大别山区除超高压变质杂岩外的另一种重要岩石类型 ,本文测得南大别二长花岗片麻岩中单颗粒锆石U Pb不一致线的上交点年龄为 789± 43Ma。位于五河—水吼韧性剪切带南缘的糜棱岩化二长花岗片麻岩中锆石的2 0 7Pb 2 0 6Pb表面年龄接近一致年龄 ,为 71 5～ 777Ma ,平均 75 7Ma ,U Pb不一致线的上交点年龄为 81 5± 70Ma ,下交点年龄为482± 1 6 7Ma。北大别石英二长片麻岩中锆石2 0 7Pb 2 0 6Pb表面年龄的变化范围较广 ,介于 5 94～70 0Ma ,平均为 6 4 9Ma ,U Pb不一致线的上、下交点年龄分别为 81 4± 97Ma和 477± 77Ma。这说明这些正片麻岩的侵位时间范围大致为 75 0～ 85 0Ma的晚元古代 ;南、北大别正片麻岩中的锆石年代学显示它们可能具有相似的形成与演化历史 ;约 480Ma前后的加里东运动对大别山地区可能也有影响。

青藏高原羌塘中部蜈蚣山花岗片麻岩锆石U-Pb定年——泛非与印支事件的年代学记录

羌塘盆地位于青藏高原北部,是研究青藏高原古特提斯洋演化及冈瓦纳大陆与欧亚大陆界线的关键区域,其基底的时代和性质直接决定了羌南—保山板块的大地构造属性和冈瓦纳大陆的范围。笔者通过对羌塘中部蜈蚣山花岗片麻岩捕虏体的锆石LA-ICP-MSU-Pb定年,确定该花岗片麻岩形成于晚三叠世(209.1±2.8Ma),是冈瓦纳大陆与欧亚大陆汇聚事件的物质记录,与羌塘中部已有的研究结果相一致;同时还在花岗片麻岩中发现了冈瓦纳大陆泛非运动晚期(464.5±4.8Ma)的年龄记录,是羌塘地区首次发现泛非运动的物质记录,并且该年龄可以与滇西怒江、保山以及印度板块内部和喜马拉雅造山带中发育的大量早古生代花岗质岩石相对比,表明羌南—保山板块与印度大陆具有很好的亲缘性。以上研究成果为探讨羌塘地区的基底属性和确定冈瓦纳大陆与欧亚大陆碰撞的时限提供了新的证据。
