攀西白马岩体的矿物结晶顺序与钒钛磁铁矿成因

距今约260 Ma的白马岩体位于上扬子板块西缘的攀西裂谷中,是一个大型的含钒钛磁铁矿镁铁质-超镁铁质杂岩体,是峨眉山大火成岩省的重要组成部分。含矿岩体主要由磁铁橄长岩和橄榄辉长岩组成,主要工业矿体赋存在下部的橄长岩岩相带中。显微镜下显示橄榄石和角闪石均存在2种不同的结构状态,岩浆具有多次脉动的侵位特点。矿物结构特点及磁铁矿、钛铁矿、橄榄石、角闪石及斜长石等矿物电子探针成分测定显示,矿物的结晶顺序大致为斜长石+橄榄石+辉石→角闪石+磁铁矿+钛铁矿→角闪石。根据角闪石和斜长石成分计算角闪石最低结晶温度为1090℃,斜长石的最高结晶温度是1120℃,推测磁铁矿的结晶温度介于1090~1120℃之间。橄榄石的Fo值由下部的磁铁橄长岩向上部的橄榄辉长岩呈逐渐降低的变化趋势,表明随着岩浆的结晶分异进程,系统的氧逸度是逐步变化的,暗示整个结晶分异过程系统处于封闭状态。磁铁矿中w(V2O3)变化于0.72%~1.37%之间,可近似看成是岩浆演化过程氧逸度较低的量化标志(FMQ+0.5),这种低氧逸度条件下硅酸盐矿物的结晶,会导致粒间熔体氧逸度逐步升高且成分向着富Fe的方向演化。岩浆的这种成分演化特点,是晚期形成不混溶熔浆及富Fe-Ti矿浆的主要原因。

峨眉大火成岩省钒钛磁铁矿成矿机制

<正>峨眉大火成岩省内带是世界上规模最大的钒钛磁铁矿矿床的矿集区。通过对峨眉大火成岩省内带最重要的钒钛磁铁矿含矿岩体:攀枝花、红格、白马和太和的系统对比和研究,发现这些岩体的岩相组合和矿化部位和特征存在差异,尽管它们成矿的关键控制因素具有相似性:(1)高钛苦橄质岩浆在深部岩浆房经硅酸盐矿物分离结晶形成富铁钛的镁铁质岩浆;(2)富铁钛的镁铁质岩浆进入浅部岩浆房中,铁钛氧化物较早结     

氧逸度对攀枝花岩体成岩成矿作用的制约:来自锆石微量元素的证据

本文报道了攀枝花钒钛磁铁矿含矿岩体边缘岩相带中的苦橄玢岩和岩体中淡色辉长岩的锆石微量元素特征。结果表明二者所含锆石都具有明显的Ce正异常和Eu负异常,以及轻稀土元素亏损和重稀土元素富集的特征,其Th/U比值为0.35～3.23,都属于典型的岩浆锆石。本次研究利用最新实验标定的锆石氧逸度计对苦橄玢岩和淡色辉长岩的氧逸度进行了估算。估算结果表明苦橄玢岩和淡色辉长岩均具较高的氧逸度,分别为QFM+0.3～QFM+2.5和QFM+0.7～QFM+3(QFM为石英-铁橄榄石-磁铁矿缓冲剂)。苦橄玢岩作为来自深部岩浆房侵入到攀枝花主岩体的富橄榄石"晶粥体",其高氧逸度的特征反映出攀枝花岩体的原生岩浆以及地幔源区是相对氧化的,而导致这一结果的原因很可能与古老俯冲事件导致的地幔交代作用有关。通过地幔柱-岩石圈相互作用,在较高氧逸度下发生部分熔融形成了铁质苦橄岩及其堆晶作用产物苦橄玢岩。此外,淡色辉长岩的氧逸度也显示出较高的特征,这说明这种氧化的特征很可能是贯穿了整个成岩过程的,对钒钛磁铁矿成矿,特别是导致铁钛氧化物早期结晶起到了不可忽视的作用。     

攀西地区钒钛磁铁矿矿床的成因类型

含矿岩体受南北向深断裂控制,为辉长岩和辉长岩-辉石岩-橄辉岩两种类型。岩体韵律结构发育,由下而上基性程度不断降低。由于岩浆脉动侵入,韵律结构具多旋回性。钒钛磁铁矿矿层赋存于岩体中下部或韵律旋回底部,自下而上依次发育嵌晶结构、镶嵌结构和海绵陨铁结构。岩体的 Fe_2O_3/FeO 比值很高。根据地质构造背景和氧逸度估算,岩体在熔融状态时处于氧分压较高的环境之中。熔融实验表明铁钛氧化物熔点高,结晶早。但是在相当大的温度范围,铁钛氧化物与造岩矿物同时结晶。矿床中单斜辉石与钛磁铁矿中的 Sc,单斜辉石与钛铁矿中的 MnO有良好的协变关系。攀西地区钒钛磁铁矿矿床不是岩浆晚期矿床,而是岩浆早期矿床。

红柳沟北镁铁-超镁铁质岩体矿物学特征及矿石成因分析

红柳沟北镁铁-超镁铁质岩体位于柴达木陆块北部的欧龙布鲁克微陆块东北缘,呈岩墙状,出露面积约0.1km~2,由方辉橄榄岩、橄榄二辉岩、含长单辉橄榄岩、橄榄辉长苏长岩、暗色橄榄辉长岩、苏长岩、辉长岩等组成,各岩相带在空间上呈渐变过渡关系。电子探针分析结果显示,岩体的主要造岩矿物为贵橄榄石、古铜辉石、普通辉石和斜长石,并且各矿物的结晶温度为1 307~1 122℃。岩体钛铁矿化明显,主要金属矿物为钛铁矿、钛磁铁矿和磁铁矿。利用橄榄石Fo最高值反演出原生岩浆MgO含量为8.49%,FeO含量为10.03%,TiO_2含量为1.63%,为普通玄武质岩浆。通过综合研究各矿物形成的温度和氧逸度条件,认为岩浆从橄榄石结晶到普通辉石结晶,其氧逸度是缓慢升高的,并且氧逸度是控制红柳沟北岩体Ti-Fe氧化物结晶的主要因素。     

攀枝花钒钛磁铁矿床中钛铁矿的矿物学特征研究

Magmatic oxide deposits in the～260 Ma Emeishan Large Igneous Province(ELIP),SW China and northern Vietnam,are important sources of Fe,Ti and V.Some giant magmatic Fe-Ti-V oxide deposits, such as the Panzhihua,Hongge,and Baima deposits,are well described in the literature and are hosted in layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the Panxi region,the central ELIP.The same type of ELIP- related deposits also occur far to the south and include the Anyi deposit,about 130 km south of Panzhihua,and the Mianhuadi deposit in the Red River fault zone.The Anyi deposit is relatively small but is similarly hosted in a layered mafic intrusion.The Mianhuadi deposit has a zircon U-Pb age of～260 Ma and is thus contemporaneous with the ELIP.This deposit was variably metamorphosed during the Indosinian orogeny and Red River faulting.Compositionally,magnetite of the Mianhuadi deposit contains smaller amounts of Ti and V than that of the other deposits,possibly attributable to the later metamorphism.The distribution of the oxide ore deposits is not related to the domal structure of the ELIP.One major feature of all the oxide deposits in the ELIP is the spatial association of oxide-bearing gabbroic intrusions,syenitic plutons and high-Ti flood basalts.Thus,we propose that magmas from a mantle plume were emplaced into a shallow magma chamber where they were evolved into a field of liquid immiscibility to form two silicate liquids,one with an extremely Fe-Ti-rich gabbroic composition and the other syenitic.An immiscible Fe-Ti-(P) oxide melt may then separate from the mafic magmas to form oxide deposits.The parental magmas from which these deposits formed were likely Fe-Ti-rich picritic in composition and were derived from enriched asthenospheric mantle at a greater depth than the magmas that produced sulfide-bearing intrusions of the ELIP.     

The role of recycled oceanic crust in magmatism and metallogeny: Os–Sr–Nd isotopes, U–Pb geochronology and geochemistry of picritic dykes in the Panzhihua giant Fe–Ti oxide deposit, central Emeishan large igneous province, SW China

The picritic dykes occurring within fine-grained gabbro in the marginal zone and in the surrounding Proterozoic wall-rock marbles of the Panzhihua Fe–Ti oxide deposit closely correspond in bulk composition with the nearby Panzhihua intrusion. These dykes offer important constraints on the nature of the mantle source of the Panzhihua ore-bearing intrusion and its possible link to the Emeishan plume. U–Pb zircon dating of the picritic dyke yields a crystallization age of 261.4 ± 4.6 Ma, coeval with the timing of the main Panzhihua gabbroic intrusion and Late Permian Emeishan flood basalts. The Panzhihua picritic dykes contain 37.63–43.41 wt% SiO₂, 1.15–1.56 wt% TiO₂, 11.43–13.25 wt% TFe₂O₃, and 20.96–28.87 wt% MgO. Primitive-mantle-normalized patterns of the rocks are comparable to those of ocean island basalt. The rocks define a relatively small range of Os isotopic compositions and a low Os signature of ?0.13 to +2.76 for γ_Os (261 Ma). In combination with their Sr–Nd–Os isotopic compositions, we interpret that these rocks were derived from the Emeishan plume sources as well as the interactions of plume melts with the overlying lithosphere which had been extensively affected by eclogite-derived melts from the deep-subducted oceanic slab. Partial melting induced by an upwelling mantle plume that involved an eclogite or pyroxenite component in the lithospheric mantle could have produced the parental Fe-rich magma. Our study suggests that plume-lithosphere interaction might have played a key role in generating many world-class Fe–Ti oxide deposits clustered in the Panxi area.

The late Permian Emeishan large igneous province(ELIP) covers ~0.3 x 106 km2 of the western margin of the Yangtze Block and Tibetan Plateau with displaced,correlative units in northern Vietnam(Song Da zone).The ELIP is of particular interest because it contains numerous world-class base metal deposits and is contemporaneous with the late Capitanian(~260 Ma) mass extinction.The flood basalts are the signature feature of the ELIP but there are also ultramafic and silicic volcanic rocks and layered maficultramafic and silicic plutonic rocks exposed.The ELIP is divided into three nearly concentric zones(i.e.inner,middle and outer) which correspond to progressively thicker crust from the inner to the outer zone.The eruptive age of the ELIP is constrained by geological,paleomagnetic and geochronological evidence to an interval of 3 Ma.The presence of picritic rocks and thick piles of flood basalts testifies to high temperature thermal regime however there is uncertainty as to whether these magmas were derived from the subcontinental lithospheric mantle or sub-lithospheric mantle(i.e.asthenosphere or mantle plume) sources or both.The range of Sr(I_(Sr) = 0.7040-0.7132),Nd(ε_(Nd)(t) ≈-14 to +8),Pb(~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb_1≈ 17.9-20.6) and Os(γ_(Os) =-5 to +11) isotope values of the ultramafic and mafic rocks does not permit a conclusive answer to ultimate source origin of the primitive rocks but it is clear that some rocks were affected by crustal contamination and the presence of near-depleted isotope compositions suggests that there is a sub-lithospheric mantle component in the system.The silicic rocks are derived by basaltic magmas/rocks through fractional crystallization or partial melting,crustal melting or by interactions between mafic and crustal melts.The formation of the Fe-Ti-V oxide-ore deposits is probably due to a combination of fractional crystallization of Ti-rich basalt and fluxing of C02-rich fluids whereas the Ni-Cu-(PGE) deposits are related to crystallization and crustal contamination of mafic or ultramafic magmas with subsequent segregation of a sulphide-rich portion.The ELIP is considered to be a mantle plume-derived LIP however the primary evidence for such a model is less convincing(e.g.uplift and geochemistry) and is far more complicated than previously suggested but is likely to be derived from a relatively short-lived,plume-like upwelling of mantle-derived magmas.The emplacement of the ELIP may have adversely affected the short-term environmental conditions and contributed to the decline in biota during the late Capitanian.     

Was the Panzhihua Large Fe-Ti Oxide Deposit,SW China,Formed by Silicate Immiscibility?

The Panzhihua mafic intrusion, which hosts a world-class Fe-Ti-V ore deposit, is in the western Emeishan region, SW China. The formation age(～260 Ma), and Sr and Nd isotopes indicate that the Panzhihua intrusion is part of the Emeishan large igneous province and has little crustal contamination. To assess ore genesis of the Panzhihua Fe-Ti-V ore deposit, two different models have been provided to explain the formation, namely silicate immiscibility and normal fractional crystallization.

上扬子西南盐源盆地早三叠世物源体系及构造意义

晚古生代末期至早中生代期间,上扬子西部边缘地区经历了峨眉山大火成岩省构造岩浆热事件和与古特提斯洋闭合相关的三江造山带形成事件,导致康滇古陆两侧形成了独特的盆山格局和沉积模式.由于目前人们对盐源盆地早三叠世青天堡组的物源与构造背景了解不多,故以盐源、盐塘剖面为代表,对青天堡组碎屑岩进行了砂岩组分、全岩地球化学和碎屑锆石年代学分析.结果显示,盐源盆地下三叠统青天堡组物源来自于近源搬运的火山岩,青天堡组与峨眉山大火成岩省的高钛玄武岩具有一致的元素组合配分模式,青天堡组锆石谐和加权平均年龄为261±16 Ma,与峨眉山大火成岩省形成的地幔柱活动时期一致.上述结果表明早三叠世盐源盆地青天堡组物源为其东侧的峨眉山大火成岩省,扬子西部三江造山带可能并没有为盐源盆地提供物源,上扬子西南边缘地区早三叠世时期仍然为被动大陆边缘沉积.      

攀西地区层状辉长岩体及钒钛磁铁矿床的成因

峨嵋山大岩浆省由大量的溢流玄武岩及其伴生的镁铁和超镁铁侵入岩组成。攀西地区的一些层状辉长岩体形成于260Ma,与早期报道的峨嵋山大岩浆省的年代相同。这些岩体中含有巨大的钒钛磁铁矿床,矿体呈似层状及透镜状产在层状辉长岩体的下部层位,不同于典型的层状岩体(如布什维尔德岩体)的磁铁矿床。地球化学资料表明,攀西地区含磁铁矿的岩体是从高度演化的基性岩浆中结晶而成,因为富硅的岩浆分离使得母岩浆高度富集铁、钛和钒。相对围岩来说,磁铁矿石形成较晚,是从氧化物矿浆中结晶的产物。矿石中有丰富的含水矿物相,流体的参与对氧化物矿浆的形成有重要的作用。     

Devonian rodingite from the northern margin of the North China Craton: mantle wedge metasomatism during ocean–continent convergence

The northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC) was an active convergent margin during Palaeozoic and preserves important imprints of magmatic and metasomatic processes associated with oceanic plate subduction. Here, we investigate the mafic–ultramafic rocks in the Xiahabaqin–Sandaogou complexes from the northern NCC including pyroxenite, hornblendites, hornblende gabbro, and their rodingitized counterparts within a serpentinite domain. We present petrological, zircon U–Pb geochronological, and geochemical data to constrain the nature and timing of the magmatic and metasomatic processes in the subduction zone mantle wedge. The rock suites investigated in this study are characterized by low contents of SiO₂, Na₂O, and K₂O, with high CaO, FeO, Fe₂O₃, and MgO. The rodingitized rocks show markedly high CaO and lower MgO compared to their ultramafic protolith, suggesting extensive post-magmatic infiltration of Ca-rich, Si-poor fluids derived by serpentinization of mantle peridotite. The enrichment of large ion lithophile and light rare earth elements such as Ba, Sr, K, La, and Ce with relative depletion of high field strength elements like Nb, Ta, Zr, and Hf in the ultramafic rocks collectively suggest metasomatism of a fore-arc mantle wedge by fluids released through dehydration of subducted oceanic slab and subduction-derived sediments. Dehydration and decarbonation leading to metasomatic fluid influx and serpentinization of mantle wedge peridotite account for the enriched geochemical signatures for the rodingitized rocks. The zircon grains in these rocks show textures indicating magmatic crystallization followed by fluid-controlled dissolution–precipitation. Magmatic zircons from altered pyroxenite, hornblendite, and rodingitized pyroxenite in Xiahabaqin yield protolith crystallization ages peaks at 396 Ma and 392 Ma and metasomatic grains show ages of 386 Ma, 378 Ma, and 348 Ma. The zircons from hornblendite and basaltic trachyandesite indicate protolith emplacement during 402–388 Ma. Metasomatic zircon grains from rodingitized hornblende gabbro in Sandaogou complex show a wide range of ages as 412 Ma, 398 Ma, 383 Ma, and 380 Ma. The common magmatic zircon ages peaks at 398–388 Ma in most of the rocks suggest a similar time for magma crystallization in the Xiahabaqin and Baiqi during Middle Devonian. Subsequently, repeated pulses fluids and melts resulted in metasomatic reactions in mantle wedge until early Permian. The Lu–Hf analysis of the zircon grains from these rocks display markedly negative εHf(t) values ranging from ?22.4 to ?7.7, suggesting magma derivation from an enriched, hydrated lithospheric mantle through fluid–rock interaction and mantle wedge metasomatism. Rodingitization processes are associated with exhumation of ultramafic mantle wedge rocks within a serpentinized subduction channel close to the subducted slab in response to slab roll back in a long-lasting subduction regime. This study offers insights into magmatic and metasomatic processes of ultramafic rocks in the fore-arc mantle wedge which were exhumed and accreted to an active continental margin during the southward subduction of the Palaeo-Asian oceanic lithosphere beneath the NCC.     

青藏高原东北缘祁连山三叠系砂岩碎屑锆石U-Pb定年及其物源分析

三叠系沉积物广泛覆盖青藏高原东北缘,其中松潘—甘孜地区三叠系的沉积物得到了较系统的研究,但是青藏高原北缘的祁连山三叠系盆地的研究却较为缺乏。为了丰富相关研究和揭示区域构造演化的特点,通过古水流方向统计、砂岩中碎屑矿物统计和碎屑锆石U-Pb测年等方法对祁连山三叠纪盆地物源进行系统研究。结果表明,祁连山三叠系盆地的古流向主要有南东向、正南向、南西向,物源来自岩浆弧和大规模褶皱造山作用的混合区。祁连山三叠系砂岩中的碎屑锆石的年龄谱主要峰值集中在250~290 Ma、360~460 Ma、1 600~2 000 Ma和2 200~2 600 Ma这4个年龄段。通过对比分析华北板块、华南板块中和秦祁昆中央造山带中岩浆锆石年龄谱特征可知:1 600~2 000 Ma和2 200~2 600 Ma年龄段的锆石来自华北板块,360~460 Ma年龄段的锆石来自北祁连造山带,250~290 Ma年龄段的锆石来自东昆仑的火山岛弧。此外,600~1 000 Ma年龄段锆石很少,这些锆石来自扬子板块,表明在三叠纪扬子克拉通和华北克拉通发生碰撞形成了秦岭造山带,阻断了来自扬子克拉通的物源。     

Noble gas isotopic systematics of Fe-Ti-V oxide ore-related mafic-ultramafic layered intrusions in the Panxi area, China: The role of recycled oceanic crust in their petrogenesis

Olivine and clinopyroxene grains have been separated from four large Fe-Ti-V oxide ore-bearing intrusions (Panzhihua, Hongge, Baima and Taihe) in the Panxi area, Emeishan large igneous province, Southwest China, for He and Ar isotope studies. The samples examined revealed extremely low ³He/⁴He ratios (0.078-4.34 Ra with the mean value 0.78 Ra) for gases extracted by stepwise heating. This feature, combined with low ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar ratios can be interpreted as due to addition of subduction-related fluids and melts that had been stored in the lithospheric mantle for long periods. Considering the regional geologic history, such addition can be attributed to the paleo subduction that occurred along the western margin of the Yangtze Block during the Neoproterozoic. The subducted oceanic crust beneath the Panxi area underwent eclogite-facies metamorphism and subsequent exhumation. The infiltration of subduction-related melts and fluids into the lithospheric mantle led to enriched isotopic signatures from that of the slightly depleted asthenopheric mantle which has been suggested by the Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic data of the Emeishan basalts and picrites. In addition, considerable amounts of eclogitic melts produced by partial melting of eclogite-facies oceanic crust extensively contaminated the lithospheric mantle. During the late Permian, partial melting of an upwelling mantle plume that contained an eclogite or pyroxenite component generated the parental Fe-rich magma that supplied the ore-bearing intrusions. The combination of these factors may have been the crucial reason that many world-class Fe-Ti-V oxides deposits are clustered in the Panxi area.     

Crustally-derived granites in the Panzhihua region,SW China: Implications for felsic magmatism in the Emeishan large igneous province

In the Panxi region of the Late Permian (~ 260 Ma) Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP) there is a bimodal assemblage of mafic and felsic plutonic rocks. Most Emeishan granitic rocks were derived by differentiation of basaltic magmas (i.e. mantle-derived) or by mixing between crustal melts and primary basaltic magmas (i.e. hybrid). The Yingpanliangzi granitic pluton within the city of Panzhihua intrudes Sinian (~ 600 Ma) marbles and is unlike the mantle-derived or hybrid granitic rocks. The SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages of the Yingpanliangzi pluton range from 259 ± 8 Ma to 882 ± 22 Ma. Younger ages are found on the zircon rims whereas older ages are found within the cores. Field relationships and petrography indicate that the Yingpanliangzi pluton must be < 600 Ma, therefore the older zircons are interpreted to represent the protolith age whereas the younger analyses represent zircon re-crystallization during emplacement. The Yingpanliangzi granites are metaluminous and have negative Ta–Nb_PM anomalies, low εNd_{(260 Ma)} values (? 3.9 to ? 4.4), and high I_Sr (0.71074 to 0.71507) consistent with a crustal origin. The recognition of a crustally-derived pluton along with mantle-derived and mantle–crust hybrid plutons within the Panxi region of the ELIP is evidence for a complete spectrum of sources. As a consequence, the types of Panxi granitoids can be distinguished according to their ASI, Eu/Eu*, εNd_(T), εHf_(T), T_Zr(°C) and Nb–Ta_PM values. The diverse granitic magmatism during the evolution of the ELIP from ~ 260 Ma to ~ 252 Ma demonstrates the complexity of crustal growth associated with LIPs.
