西南天山东德沟地幔楔环境异剥钙榴岩的形成过程

中国西南天山昭苏县东德沟地幔楔环境的斜长角闪岩与蛇纹岩接触带中发现了异剥钙榴岩.按异剥钙榴岩化程度,可将研究的岩石分为三种类型:斜长角闪岩、异剥钙榴岩化斜长角闪岩和异剥钙榴岩,它们的矿物组合分别为:角闪石+中长石+石英+榍石+磷灰石±次透辉石;角闪石+钙长石+透辉石+斜黝帘石+绿泥石±方解石;斜黝帘石+钙铝榴石+透辉石+绿泥石+方解石.异剥钙榴岩化岩石的矿物化学及主量元素特征反映出交代流体中富Ca、Al.与洋底变质环境和俯冲带中发生的异剥钙榴岩化作用相比,此处的异剥钙榴岩化岩石中的流体有限.质量平衡计算也表明斜长角闪岩在富Ca、Al流体的交代下形成异剥钙榴岩,这一过程中,早期有Mg元素加入,而晚期异剥钙榴岩形成时,Mg又大量流失.     

西天山异剥钙榴岩的地球化学研究

西天山长阿吾子的蛇绿混杂岩带的超基性岩及其伴生岩石异剥钙榴岩位于伊犁中天山板块和塔里木板块碰撞造山带。微量元素特征表明退变榴辉岩原岩成因与俯冲带环境有关。异剥钙榴岩中稀土元素和微量元素全面、大幅度降低,反映出来自于蛇纹岩化,作用于异剥钙榴岩化流体的强大的淋滤作用。因而异剥钙榴岩的稀土和微量元素特征都不能反映原始岩浆的特点,无法据此推断原始岩浆产生的大地构造环境。对退变榴辉岩的主元素和微量元素稀土元素的研究表明,长阿吾子异剥钙榴岩的原岩钙碱性玄武岩可能形成于俯冲上板片(SSZ)的岛弧环境。     

柴北缘沙柳河地区洋壳超高压变质单元中异剥钙榴岩的发现及其地质意义

在柴北缘超高压变质带东端的沙柳河地区蛇绿岩剖面中,首次发现了与蛇纹石化方辉橄榄岩共生的异剥钙榴岩。该异剥钙榴岩主要由钙铝榴石、透辉石、绿泥石、碳酸盐及少量葡萄石和黝帘石组成。异剥钙榴岩通常被认为是洋底变质作用的标志性产物。因此,此异剥钙榴岩的确定,为柴北缘超高压变质带曾经存在过洋壳俯冲提供了又一证据。     

安徽池州铜山铜矿床元素地球化学分带特征及意义

铜山铜矿是长江中下游成矿带内安庆-贵池矿集区中的一个中型矽卡岩型矿床,矿体赋存于铜山岩体与下二叠统栖霞组碳酸盐岩间的接触带内.典型剖面系统取样分析结果显示:从岩浆岩、矽卡岩到碳酸盐岩,元素地球化学组成总体上表现为渐变分带特征,即靠近岩体的矽卡岩富集Si、Fe、Mg及亲铁元素Co和亲铜元素Cu、Ag;远离岩体的矽卡岩富集Ca、Mn、Al、Ti、REE和亲铜元素Pb、Zn;远离大理岩带的强硅化蚀变岩富集Si、Fe、Li和Co,而强烈亏损Ca、Sr和REE.这种分带可以依据元素活化迁移理论加以解释.在矽卡岩形成过程中,岩浆热液携带Si、Fe、Mg、Al、Li、REE、大离子亲石元素Rb、Cs、亲铁亲铜元素Co、V、Zn以及高场强元素Ta、Zr、Nb、Hf、Ga、Be向大理岩迁移并富集于形成的矽卡岩中;大理岩中的Ca被活化后进入矽卡岩体系,而Sr、K及Pb则随流体搬运迁出.蚀变及矿化较弱的矽卡岩稀土总量较高(ΣREE=122.0×10-6),LREE富集[(La/Sm)N =3.99],HREE亏损[(Gd/Yb)N=2.85],Eu显示负异常(δEu =0.69),重稀土配分形式与新鲜石英二长斑岩相似,但La、Ce等轻稀土元素相对亏损.矽卡岩剖面元素分带特征及稀土配分模式指示铜山矽卡岩铜矿床为接触交代成因.结合已有氢氧同位素结果,认为铜山铜矿成矿流体主要来自岩浆热液,在矽卡岩退化蚀变和成矿期间有大气降水混入成矿流体.     

冀北异剥钙榴岩的岩石学、地球化学及锆石SHRIMP年代学研究

对产于红旗营子群黑云斜长片麻岩或黑云斜长变粒岩之中的冀北异剥钙榴岩进行岩石学研究表明,其主要矿物成分有富钙石榴石、钠长石或钡冰长石以及角闪石等,另有少量异剥辉石(透辉石)残留,其形态多呈大小不等的透镜状或团块状.异剥钙榴岩的化学成分总体表现为SiO2(36.63%～44.46%)明显不饱和,富CaO(17.81%～27.78%)、FeO*(9.76%～18.36%)和贫MgO(O.77%～4.56%)的特征.异剥钙榴岩化作用除导致岩石的CaO升高而SiO2降低外,REE总量和某些不活动性微量元素(Zr,Hf,Nb,Ta,Y和V等)含量也相应增加,但REE配分模式变化太大.冀北异剥钙榴岩的原岩可能为蛇绿岩型畀剥辉长岩,经历过早期的钙交代和晚期的钡交代.前者以岩石中发育富钙石榴石为标志,后者则形成钡冰长石,是富钡流体交代钠长石的结果.冀北异剥钙榴岩的锆石SHRIMP年龄为396.4 Ma±5.3 Ma,代表异剥钙榴岩的形成时代     

异剥钙榴岩及其岩石成因意义

异剥钙榴岩作为一种特殊的交代变质岩,绝大多数与超镁铁岩的蛇纹石化有关,是超镁铁岩蛇纹石化过程中所产生的富钙流体对与其伴生的相关岩石进行钙交代的结果。蛇纹石化的超镁铁岩或为蛇绿岩的端员组分,或为太古代绿岩带、阿拉斯加型和阿尔卑斯型等其它成因类型的超镁铁岩。它们多为纯橄榄岩、方辉橄榄岩和辉石岩等。异剥钙榴岩的形成主要取决于超镁铁岩的蛇纹石化作用和钙交代程度,而与超镁铁岩的成因类型、构造属性和时代归属没有多大的关系。那种将异剥钙榴岩片面地看成蛇绿岩的组成部分或者作为鉴别蛇绿岩辅助标志的观点需要改正。

喇嘛苏铜锌矿位于中亚成矿域西段,为新疆西天山地区相对较早发现的斑岩-矽卡岩铜锌矿床。本文对喇嘛苏铜锌矿矽卡岩和矽卡岩化大理岩中的矽卡岩矿物进行了岩相学及主微量成分分析,首次发现了喇嘛苏铜锌矿床发育的黑榴石和富钛钙铝榴石。对矽卡岩中发育震荡环带的钙铁榴石进行主量元素和电子探针mapping分析,发现钙铁榴石发育不均一的核部,环带部分表现为Al-Fe元素此消彼长的耦合震荡关系;对钙铁榴石从核部中央向边缘环带进行定向原位微量元素LA-ICPMS分析,发现∑REE表现为连续略有降低的趋势、δEu表现出震荡变化。黑榴石和富钛钙铝榴石表现为核幔结构,显示流体氧逸度的降低,流体从超常富集Ti转变为富集Ti。对富钛钙铝榴石进行原位微量元素LA-ICPMS测试,发现富钛钙铝榴石∑REE高于钙铁榴石(钙铝榴石：58.4×10^-6～408.4×10^-6;钙铁榴石28.2×10^-6～108.7×10^-6),富钛钙铝榴石具有强烈正Eu异常(δEu=11.3～15.0),钙铁榴石和富钛钙铝榴石均表现为富集轻稀土而亏损重稀土。喇...     

金沙江蛇绿岩带蛇纹岩中异剥钙榴岩的成因及意义

金沙江蛇绿岩带绒角蛇绿岩由超镁铁岩与异剥辉长岩岩脉组成,在蛇绿岩就位过程中,异剥辉长岩岩脉碎裂为不规则的岩块包裹于超镁铁岩中,形成超镁铁岩中的构造包体。经过交代蚀变作用,超镁铁岩形成蛇纹岩,异剥辉长岩形成异剥钙榴岩。异剥钙榴岩的形成是超镁铁岩蛇纹石化和异剥辉长岩中斜长石钙铝榴石化循环作用的结果,并与对蛇绿岩起过作用的构造运动有关系,是变形作用伴随交代作用的产物。绒角蛇绿岩中的异剥钙榴岩的发现,说明金沙江蛇绿岩带不存在榴辉岩,其变质相属葡萄石一绿泥石低温低压相．也说明金沙江蛇绿岩带是洋壳残片“冷侵入”的产物。

Petrology of rodingite derived from eclogite in western Tianshan, China

This study reports a new rodingite type which was derived from eclogite enclosed in the ultramafic rocks of Changawuzi ophiolites, western Tianshan, China. Based on petrographical investigations, rodingite, partial rodingitized rock and completely rodingitized rock are characterized in this paper. These rocks show a continuous variation in their bulk compositions, mineralogy and their textural properties from eclogite to rodingite. The completely rodingitized rocks can be further divided into prehnite rodingites, hydrogrossular‐diopside rodingite and vesuvianite rodingites on the basis of the mineral assemblage and textural character. The chemical potential path of μ(SiO₂)–μ(CaO/MgO) can be used to constrain the evolution of two stages of rodingitization. The first rodingitization possibly started under conditions of 410–430 °C and 7–9 kbar at upper greenschist facies, and resulted from a secondary serpentinization during exhumation of the subducted slab. A second and pervasive rodingitization took place under conditions of 250–350 °C and 2–10 kbar from greenschist to subgreenschist facies. The P–T path presented shows a retrograde evolution from eclogite to rodingite. We conclude that the process of rodingitization may also take place under subduction zone conditions in addition to its more common occurrence under ocean‐floor metamorphic conditions.     

Origin of Au-bearing rodingite in the Karabash massif of alpine-type ultramafic rocks in the southern Urals

The rodingite belt in the Karabash massif situated 40 km north of Miass is continuously traced for 2.5 km along its central part. Rodingites bear up to 1% sulfide disseminations and gold particles with high Cu content (up to 40 wt %) throughout the belt. The central part of the rodingite belt is especially rich in gold, which was mined at the Zolotaya Gora (Gold Mountain) deposit. The Au-bearing rodingite belt is zonal and was formed during three stages. The inner zone is composed of chlorite-andradite-diopside rock of the first stage, which is crosscut by diopside veinlets of the second stage and calcite veinlets of the third stage. The intermediate zone consists of fine-grained chloritolite of the first stage and coarse-grained chlorite veinlets of the second stage. The outer zone of the metasomatic column is occupied by antigorite and chrysotile-lizardite serpentinites. No relict rocks or minerals of the replaced protolith have been established except sporadic Cr-spinel grains. Native gold was being deposited during all periods of rodingite formation. In terms of the currently adopted concept of evolution of the Ural Foldbelt, the Sm-Nd isochron age of rodingite estimated at 369.4 ± 8.8 Ma corresponds to the period of collisional compression of Silurian-Devonian oceanic and island-arc complexes and upward pushing out of a block of the melanocratic basement underlying these complexes. A proposed model of rodingite formation is based on ore mineralogy, REE geochemistry, and thermobarogeochemical and isotopic study of minerals. It is suggested that in contrast to the barren bimetasomatic rodingite replacing dikes, the studied rodingite are considered to be fissure veins accompanied by metasomatic alteration of host serpentinite. The estimation of initial isotopic composition of fluid components indicates that the ore-bearing fluid is of metamorphic origin (δD_fl = ?4 to ?13‰ and δ¹⁸O_fl = 5.9 to 8.3‰). The fluid was formed as a product of dehydration of oceanic serpentinite at the base of melanocratic rocks and related gabbroids that moved out to the surface. These rocks were a source of gold and other components (Ca, Al, Ti, Cu, Ni, REE, P, etc.).     

Thermodynamic modeling and elemental migration for the early stage of rodingitization: An example from the Xialu massif of the Xigaze ophiolite,southern Tibet

The analysis of early stage rodingite from the ultramafic rocks of the Xialu Massif in the Xigaze Ophiolite, Tibet, in China shows that the rodingitization involved continuous changes in fluid composition during different stages of subduction. The early stage prehnite-bearing rodingite was produced at low pressures and temperatures along extensional fractures. Samples of rodingite were collected along a profile from the center to the margin of a rodingitized intrusive igneous rock (~10 m × 30 m), and they record wide variations in bulk composition, mineralogy, and texture. The mineral assemblages, from center to margin, vary from (1) relics of primary clinopyroxene (Cpx_r) and primary amphibole (Amp_r) + newly formed late amphibole (Act) + primary plagioclase (Pl_r) + clinozoisite + prehnite + albite + chlorite + titanite + ilmenite (R1 rodingite), through (2) relics of primary clinopyroxene (Cpx_r) + newly formed late clinopyroxene (Cpx_n) + primary and late amphiboles (Amp_r + Act) + clinozoisite + prehnite + albite + chlorite + titanite (R2 rodingite), to (3) newly formed late clinopyroxene (Cpx_n) and amphibole (Act) + clinozoisite + prehnite + albite + chlorite + titanite (R3 rodingite). As a result of the metasomatic process of rodingitization, the content of CaO in the whole rock chemical composition from R1 to R3 increases, SiO₂ decreases, and Na₂O + K₂O is almost completely removed. Mass-balance diagrams show enrichments in large ion lithophile elements such as Rb, Cs, Ba, and Pb as well as Ni during rodingitization. The central part of the rodingitized intrusion (R1 rodingite) was only slightly affected by metasomatism. On the other hand, the contents of the rare earth elements (REEs), high field strength elements (HFSEs; e.g. Zr, Nb, Ta, Hf, and Y), and some highly compatible elements such as Cr and Sc decreased slightly during rodingitization. Thermodynamic modeling based on equilibrium mineral assemblages indicates that the rodingite of the Xialu Massif formed in an H₂O-saturated, CO₂-rich environment. The estimated conditions of metamorphism were ~281–323 °C and 0.4–3.9 kbar, representing the subgreenschist facies. In this environment, REEs and HFSEs were soluble in the fluids and partly removed. Moreover, these prehnite rodingites formed in a progressively reducing and less alkaline environment, as indicated by decreases in f(O₂) and bulk-rock Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ ratios, and the records of fluid ΔpH from the center to the margin of the studied rodingitized intrusion.

Evolution of the Acipayam (Denizli,Turkey) Rodingites

Numerous diabase and gabbro dikes intrude the Lycian peridotite thrust sheet of southwestern Turkey. Some of the dikes are rodingitized and the host harzburgite is serpentinized. The present study demonstrates that the major episodes of serpentinization (of harzburgite) and rodingitization (of dikes) predated the obduction of the Lycian peridotite thrust sheet. Hydrogrossular veins, which represent the major event of calcium metasomatism in the dikes, are locally fractured, fragmented, and offset. High-field-strength-element concentrations and Ta/Yb-Th/Yb ratios in the mafic rocks suggest that the dikes were originally emplaced in an island-arc environment; thus, they must have been transported to their current location.

Fluid-inclusion microthermometry obtained on primary fluid inclusions in hydrogrossulars indicates that the fluid involved in rodingitization and contemporaneous serpentinization was moderately saline (8 equiv. wt% NaCl) and within the range of 250°-450°C. The above salinity and temperature are consistent with microthermometric measurements obtained from rodingite minerals worldwide.

It is apparent from our study that rodingite geochemistry and mineralogy provide valuable information on the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of a region. Trace-element and REE geochemistry can define the tectonic setting of dikes, detailed mineralogy of the dikes and host serpentinite provides information on the relative timing of serpentinization and contemporaneous rodingitization, and fluid-inclusion microthermometry provides information on the temperature and composition of the Ca-rich metamorphic fluids.     

Sequential extraction of labile elements and chemical characterization of a basaltic soil from Mt. Meru,Tanzania

We conducted a modified Bureau Commun Reference (BCR) sequential extraction on a basaltic soil (phono-tephrite) from Mt. Meru in Northern Tanzania in order to determine the relative contribution of water soluble, carbonate and exchangeable, oxide and organic fractions to the bulk composition of the soil. Elemental compositions were determined by ICP-MS and corrected for loss on ignition. Relatively immobile elements, such as Zr, Hf and Al, are enriched by 10–30% compared to the unweathered protolith, consistent with soil formation being accompanied by mass loss due to chemical weathering. However, superimposed on this mass loss appears to be enrichment of elements such as Fe, Ca and Mg, especially towards the surface. In some cases, the bulk concentrations of these elements at the surface exceed that of the protolith. These data suggest that the surface of the Meru soil columns may have experienced “re-fertilization” by the deposition of volcanic ash. From the carbonate and exchangeable extraction, we found evidence of clay rich horizons which may sequester as much as 5% of the bulk K. The concentration of calcium carbonate appears to decrease with depth, but the largest incorporation of Sr and Ba into carbonates occurs below 114 cm. Fe and Mn oxides scavenge more than 10–20% of total Ti, V, Co, Cu, Zr and Pb below 114 cm. The organic fraction sequestered significant fractions of total Al, Cu, REE’s and Pb throughout the soil column.     

川西同德和沙坝麻粒岩及其退变质岩石之间的元素迁移

利用川西麻粒岩的全岩化学组成与岩石中特征矿物的化学性质,研究了麻粒岩退变质作用的元素迁移。对紫苏辉石、普通辉石和普通角闪石的电子探针分析表明,随着麻粒岩退变质作用程度的加深,矿物的化学组成与全岩的元素迁移同步变化。由于矿物组合和岩相的转变以及地壳流体的作用,同德二辉麻粒岩在退变质至黑云角闪斜长片麻岩过程中,K,Rb,Cs,K／Na,Fe^3+和Fe3+／Fe^2+增加,Fe^2+,V,Co,Ba,Sr和Pb降低;在沙坝二辉麻粒岩退变质为含绿帘石角闪斜长片麻岩过程中,Na,Ca,Fe^3+,Zr,Hf,Nb,Ta,Rb,U,Th,REE和Fe^3+／Fe^2+增加,Fe^2+,Mg,K,Co,Zn,Cs,Pb和K／Na降低。麻粒岩退变质过程中制约不同元素迁移的主要矿物相是普通角闪石等退变质新生矿物。同德和沙坝两个麻粒岩块退变质作用中,个别元素迁移性状并不相同,这可能与原岩的性质和变质流体的成分等环境地质条件有关。     

新疆西天山备战铁矿成矿作用初探

该文在野外地质调查基础上,对备战铁矿区内的火山岩和矿石进行了详细的矿物学和岩石地球化学研究,并深入讨论了矿床成因。研究表明,该区的主要赋矿围岩为火山岛弧玄武岩,其与磁铁矿有着类似的稀土元素配分模式,说明二者有成因上的联系。成矿物质可能来源于北天山洋块向伊犁板块之下俯冲过程中软流圈上涌形成的富铁玄武质岩浆。受洋块俯冲作用影响,富铁玄武质岩浆沿北天山压扭性深大断裂底侵,并经历了一定的结晶分离或同化混染作用,最后在中地壳形成一套演化的玄武质（安山质）岩浆,并在岩浆晚期阶段发生富铁岩浆和硅酸盐岩浆的分离,此时,火山岩中的普通辉石受岩浆晚期的热液作用影响蚀变为透辉石,发生了Si,Ca,Mg的富集和Fe,Al,Ti的缺失,一定程度上促进了含铁矿浆的富集。
